Tony® Award-nominated singer and performer RAMIN KARIMLOO today announces the release of his second full-length album, From Now On, available August 2nd from Sony Masterworks Broadway. Available for preorder now, the 12-song collection places the consummate showman behind the mic for a series of musical theater and film covers that illuminate the range of his instantly recognizable voice. Making its debut alongside today's preorder is a new cover of Dear Evan Hansen classic 'Waving Through a Window,' giving listeners a taste of what can be expected from the forthcoming full-length - listen here.

“I'm hearing you say, 'not enough is OK.' Well, it's not...I'm with the Painted People,” quips lead vocalist, Christian Dryden of NYC-based, THE RITUALISTS about standing with the free thinkers of the world. Frontman and songwriter Dryden is something of an anachronism - a multi-instrumentalist who relishes the performance aspects of a live show while also penning lyrics that call upon 19th Century Romance poetry and musical arrangements that exude cinematic, art-rock sensibilities.

To celebrate the release of beloved songwriter, guitarist and singer JJ Cale's Stay Around, Because Music will release an exclusive 7' vinyl for Record Store Day on April 13. The B-side features “Worrying Off Your Mind,” a bonus track from 2009's Roll On.

Indeed Prisoner Of Love shows there's a lot of life left in Stephen, who released his first solo album in 1984. It crackles with a vitality that artists half his age would love to have. It's a tight and concise 10 tracks, though it's loaded with wry observations on life, love and pain.

Swedish Grammy Award winning musician, songwriter and producer OLSSON is dropping “Pink Rambler” today – the first new song from his forthcoming sophomore LP TROPICAL COLOGNE that's due out April 26th via Universal Sweden.  The new LP follows OLSSON's debut LP MILLIONS which was released in 2017 to raves from Rolling Stone, Noisey and Beats 1 Radio's Zane Lowe.  When asked about “Pink Rambler” OLSSON added, “It's about discovering new hope. And I'm even wishing to see my mom slow-dance to it.”

'This is a story of kings.' The opening line of playwright Ayad Akhtar's JUNK gives the audience an epic summary of what they're about to experience. Kings not determined by the biggest crown or most expansive army, but by the fullest pockets. Robert Merkin, played by Carlo Lorenzo Garcia, is one such king, though unconventional in that the lead character of Akhtar's longest work sees debt as an asset. Robert sits proudly on the cover Time Magazine, and he's ready to capitalize on his role as 'America's Alchemist'. Performer Garcia revels in all the teeth sucking, furtive gesticulating, and slick talking of a classic 1980's Wall Street yuppie.
