Hit Recording Artist Matt Brouwer Completes 18 City Fall Tour

Posted by admin on 12th February 2010 in Tour Dates

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Black Shoe Records/Indie Extreme recording artist Matt Brouwer’s latest CD, Where’s Our Revolution, produced by Grammy award-winning producer, Michael Omartian, has already garnered rave reviews, radio airplay and concert dates across the USA and Canada, and it’s not even been released in wide distribution yet! The promotional tour began in The Woodlands, TX on September 6th and ended November 12th in Nashville, TN with a total of over 38 concerts in front of more than 8500 people in 18 cities.

Brouwer has logged over 10,000 miles this Fall touring in Mississippi, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Colorado, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Tennessee. While out on the road, Brouwer did 14 live on-air radio interviews, performed on 3 TV shows and played live at the GMA Covenant Awards Show in Calgary, AB.

After a 2 week hiatus, Brouwer heads back out on his first 17 city Christmas Tour with concerts in Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Songs from Brouwer’s A Merry Little Christmas EP will be featured during the upcoming tour interspersed throughout his growing catalogue of songs.

Brouwer has previously landed hits on the Billboard CCM records chart (I Shall Believe); CCM CHR chart (Water, Sanity); and the New Music Weekly Hot 100, AC, Indie AC, and Top 40 charts (Surrender). Where’s Our Revolution, marks a huge step forward for Brouwer, being hailed by critics as an artistic and production triumph. The success of Beautiful Now, #1 on CRW Global AC chart and #1 on CanCon AC chart, points to a very successful run as the album is overflowing with a bevy of radio friendly pop singles.

“It’s an honor working with Matt and his independent label, Black Shoe Records,” said Indie Extreme CEO Kathy Douglas. “The Where’s Our Revolution CD has been a result of several years of hard work and growth in Matt, both as a writer and musician. He is a unique individual with a clear yet gently confrontational message to his generation, one of love, hope and authenticity.”

Brouwer’s Where’s Our Revolution is currently available in limited release throughout the U.S. and Canada as well as online, with a massive distribution deal in the works for 2009.

First Date Ideas for the Adventurous

Posted by admin on 7th January 2010 in Tour Dates

Adventurous First Date Ideas for the Australian Online Dating couple wanting the perfect meeting after internet dating.

You have met your perfect match through online dating. You both claim to be adrenaline junkies. Where can you go? What can you do? Australia offers some of the perfect terrain and opportunities for those looking for some thrills. www.hookmeup.com.au has compiled some suggestions for the couple who are seeking a bit of adventure on their first date.

Warning, some of these activities are not for the faint hearted!

Bridge Climb.

For those couples who live near Sydney or Brisbane there are organized climbs on both the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Story Bridge. Both climbs offer glorious panoramic views of their respective cities. Not recommended for anyone with a phobia of heights. The Sydney Harbour Bridge climb takes 31/2 hours and will have you 134 metres above the harbour. The Story Bridge climb takes 2 1/2 hours to complete.

Brisbane Ghost Tours.

These ghost tours will send chills up the most stoic of person’s spines. Brisbane was once a penal colony, and has some very grim tales to hear. Jack Sims will have you gripping your date’s hand whether you fancy them or not! Tandem Skydiving. If you are looking for a real heart starter, or stopper, this could be the date for you! Jumping out of a plane you will experience the thrill (or fear) of free falling for 60 seconds at 14,000 feet at speeds of 200km/hour. Of course, you will be attached to an instructor who has a parachute. If you haven’t fainted, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery as you slowly come down to earth.

Bungy Jumping.

There are a few locations in Australia where you can go bungy jumping. If your idea of a thrill is to jump off a high tower with an elastic band tied around your ankles, go for it! Dive With the Sharks. Do you want to go diving with all sorts of sharks? Come face to face with scary creatures? Well, this may be the dive for you.

Jet Boat Thrill Ride.

Ever wanted to roar around Sydney Harbour at great speed? Well here is your chance. A jet boat with 850 horsepowers is going to give you a thrill ride on the water that you won’t forget any time soon! The beautiful scenery of Sydney Harbour may go by so fast, you won’t be able to appreciate it. Abseiling Adventures. For those of you who want to go out there and climb up and down rock cliffs, here is your chance. If you live anywhere in Australia where there are some cliffs, you should be able to go abseiling. White Water Rafting. A theme park ride in the great outdoors. There are many companies offering white water experiences. You may have to travel for this type of adventure. You will get wet and your heart will be racing.

Canyoning in Australia.

Combine the pleasure of abseiling with the adventure of swimming through caves. This sort of adventure is probably best undertaken by the couple who have done these sorts of outdoor activities before. Cliffs and underwater caves together. There are many levels of canyoning available, from the quite basic for the first timer to hair raising for the proficient. Now is not the time to overrate your prior experience to impress your date. Heart starters. Heart stoppers. Heart pounders. If you like your date with a bit of action and adventure thrown in, try some of the above.

Fleetwood Mac Return After a 5-year Hiatus for Their 2009 “unleashed” Tour

Posted by admin on 28th December 2009 in Tour Dates

Kicking off in March, the rock and roll hall of famers’ latest tour will feature the band’s greatest hits over their illustrious 32-year career

Guitarist Peter Green formed Fleetwood Mac with eponymous drummer Mick Fleetwood after the two left John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers in 1967. Green and Fleetwood offered fellow Bluesbreaker John McVie the position of bassist, but McVie opted to remain with his current band for the time being, allowing Bob Brunning to take his place. Slide player Jeremy Spencer was added to the group’s lineup, completing Fleetwood Mac’s original four. The band made its debut on August 13, 1967 at the Windsor Jazz and Blues Festival. Weeks following that show, McVie agreed to join the band, replacing Brunning as their bass player.

The band enjoyed moderate success until they hit their big break in 1975 when their second self-titled album reached #1 in the United States. This was immediately followed by their 1977 release of Rumours, the band’s most successful album to date. Of the original four, only the two halves of the band’s name remained at this point – Fleetwood and McVie. The rest of the lineup was made up of singer Stevie Nicks, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, and McVie’s wife, Christine, on keyboards. This version of the band would become its most permanent, as well as its most successful.

The current incarnation of Fleetwood Mac consists of Fleetwood, McVie, Nicks, and Buckingham. With the exception of Christine, this is the same group that brought you Rumours and hits like “Dreams”, “Don’t Stop”, and “Go Your Own Way”. Returning from a 5-year hiatus, Fleetwood Mac are set to hit the road for their 44-show Greatest Hits “Unleashed” Tour beginning in March. Tour dates were nearly sold out the moment they were announced in December; with 29 new shows recently added, this is your last chance to catch the legendary Grammy-award winning rockers live!
