Jill Andrews released her anticipated new album Modern Age. Available everywhere through Vulture Vulture/Tone Tree Music, Modern Age stands at the intersection of memory lane and tomorrow; a stunning reflection on childhood and changing times, and the complexities of simultaneously looking back and moving forward.

The nucleus to Modern Age and the song that inspired the record, “Better Life” finds Andrews grieving the loss of a “golden-haired beauty queen” to addiction, wishing there had been another path. The track also features guest vocals from fellow Nashville favorite Becca Mancari.

The album features an all-star cast of musicians including Tyler Chester (Sara Bareilles, Jackson Brown, Madison Cunningham), Juan Solorzano (Becca Mancari, Mary Gauthier, Michaela Anne), Graham Bechler (Erin Rae, Allen Stone), Anthony Da Costa (Sunny War, Molly Tuttle, Yola), and special guests Ben Cramer and Becca Mancari on backing vocals.

Andrews also shared her new single 'Connection' along with the official video, directed by Griffin Davis. Lush with indie-pop soundscapes and earworm hooks, “Connection” explores the schism between then and now, contrasting new tech savvy love with meeting someone the old-fashioned way in an irresistible, roll-the-windows-down throwback.

Recorded at 4115 Studios in Nashville, it features an all-star cast of musicians including Tyler Chester (Sara Bareilles, Jackson Brown, Madison Cunningham), Juan Solorzano (Becca Mancari, Mary Gauthier, Michaela Anne), Graham Bechler (Erin Rae, Allen Stone), Jon Truman (Lilly Hiatt, Carly Pearce), and more.

21-10-'21 is het precies 20 jaar geleden dat de musical Aïda zijn wereldpremière beleefde. Dit vieren wij met het jubileumconcert: Aïda 20 jaar, in concert. De originele Nederlandse cast zal voor het eerst in twintig jaar bij elkaar komen voor dit unieke concert op 21 oktober 2021 in Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht! De popmusical, met muziek van Elton John, werd meteen een van de meest succesvolle musicals ooit. Tijdens het concert zullen onder andere Leona Phillipo, Bastiaan Ragas, René van Kooten, Antje Monteiro, Carolina Dijkhuizen en Ben Cramer de bekende muziek uit Aïda ten gehore brengen.

De musical Haal Het Doek Maar Op ging afgelopen januari in première in DeLaMar Theater in Amsterdam. De venijnige schets over Hollandse artiesten uit de jaren zestig, zeventig en tachtig op schnabbeltour en in de vroege televisieshows werd door publiek en pers lovend ontvangen. De evergreens van iconen als Willeke Alberti, Rob de Nijs, Ronnie Tober, Ria Valk, Johnny Lion, Ben Cramer, Shirley Zwerus, Boudewijn de Groot en vele anderen bleken onverwoestbaar en zorgde voor een vliegende start met volle zalen. Op 13 maart jl. werd de laatste voorstelling gespeeld voor de landelijke lockdown. Door deze maatregelen waren producenten Hans Cornelissen en Ruud de Graaf genoodzaakt de musical te annuleren. Door de versoepelde maatregelen i.v.m. het coronavirus zal Haal Het Doek Maar Op vanaf september 2020 weer in de theaters te zien zijn.

Producenten Ruud de Graaf en Hans Cornelissen kondigen aan dat de musical Op Hoop van Zegen komende week online wordt geplaatst op het YouTube-kanaal van De Graaf en Cornelissen Entertainment. Het is de vierde titel die de producenten online plaatsen. Eerder waren al de musicals Adèle Conny Jasperina a?" De Grote Drie, Wat Zien Ik?! en Volendam de Musical te zien op het YouTube-kanaal. Op Hoop van Zegen is vanaf maandag 4 mei 20.30 uur tot uiterlijk zondag 10 mei 21.00 uur te zien op het YouTube-kanaal van De Graaf & Cornelissen Entertainment.

Nashville-based, Atlanta-born, multi-instrumentalist Ben Cramer, aka Old Sea Brigade, released his debut full-length album, Ode To A Friend, today via Nettwerk Records.   Having toured throughout the U.S. this fall, Old Sea Brigade will spend the winter touring around the UK, Scandinavia and Switzerland (dates below).
