BWW Interview: Joe D'Urso of ROCKLAND BERGEN MUSIC FESTIVAL at German Masonic Park, Tappan NY

Ryan Adams has a double shot of V-Day love for his fans this year.  First, a special Valentines Day single—“Baby I Love You”—a brand new and unavailable elsewhere track brought to you on the wings of Cupid (and by Blue Note/Pax-Am). “Baby I Love You” is exactly what it sounds like: A song to one's baby, whom they love—a unique twist on Ryan Adams' classic recipe, with key ingredient “sad” replaced by “happy.' 

Over the past few years, the Dustbowl Revival has been making a name for itself with a vibrant mix of vintage Americana sounds. Critics have proclaimed that this eclectic eight-piece "would have sounded utterly at home within the hallowed confines of Preservation Hall in New Orleans' French Quarter" (Los Angeles Times) and their "upbeat, old-school, All-American sonic safaris exemplify everything shows should be: hot, spontaneous, engaging and, best of all, a pleasure to hear" (L.A. Weekly). 

For the third year in a row, the Light of Day Foundation has raised over a half a million dollars through its annual WinterFest fund raiser, catapulting its 17-year cumulative total past the $4.5 million mark in the global battle to defeat Parkinson's Disease and the Parkinsonisms, ALS and PSP, through the awesome power of music.

Today Ryan Adams released his first album of all new original material since 2014's Ryan Adams. The launch of Prisoner coincides with the announcement of a tour for Ryan Adams and his band. The tour includes a show on June 18 at the brand-new Eccles Theater in downtown Salt Lake City.
