Most of the album’s 12 original songs were recorded with producer Rob Evans, including the first single, “Madman’s Eyes,” which was released today. Longtime collaborator, John Alagia, served as executive producer of the album.

Tedeschi Trucks Band is a Grammy Award-winning 12-piece powerhouse ensemble led by the husband/wife duo of guitarist Derek Trucks and singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi, “two of the best roots rock musicians of their generation” (NPR). With their own potent original songwriting alongside an extensive canon of influences, the dynamic all-star band owns a reputation for world-class musical expression bolstered by each album and every performance.
Since forming in 2010, TTB’s caravan has traveled countless miles to bring their music to audiences around the world. From sold-out multi-night residencies across America to barnstorming tours through Europe and Japan to the flagship Wheels of Soul annual summer amphitheater tour, the band's shows are an eagerly anticipated highlight of the live music calendar and “nothing short of exhilarating” (Salon). Whether on stage or in the studio, when these supremely talented artists get together, it’s a musical experience of profound quality.
The band's most recent release, I Am The Moon, is the most ambitious studio project of Tedeschi Trucks Band’s storied career, is comprised of four albums, I.Crescent, II. Ascension, III. The Fall, IV. Farewell and four companion films that was released throughout the summer of 2022. The freedom from the road, allowed the band to take a new approach to writing and recording music and included significant song writing input and ideas from all members of the band. The thematic I Am The Moon totals more than two hours of music unfolding across a robust tapestry of genre-defying explorations that propel the treasured American ensemble into new and thrilling creative territory.
It now joins an impressive studio discography that includes Signs (2019), High & Mighty EP (2019), Let Me Get By (2016), Made Up Mind (2013), and the Grammy-winning debut, Revelator (2011) in addition to their live releases, Layla Revisited (Live At LOCKN') featuring Trey Anastasio (2021), the Grammy-nominated film/audio, Live From The Fox Oakland (2017), and 2012’s Everybody’s Talkin’.
Tedeschi Trucks Band is also the subject of the newly-released documentary, Learning To Live Together: The Return of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, which Variety hails as “a serious blast of rock 'n' roll love…and a testament to how one gorgeously raucous rock ‘n’ roll moment can reverberate through the decades.” The film chronicles the historic Mad Dogs reunion concert spearheaded by Tedeschi and Trucks that took place at 2015's LOCKN' festival.
Tedeschi Trucks Band is Susan Tedeschi (guitar, vocals), Derek Trucks (guitar), Gabe Dixon (keyboards, vocals), Brandon Boone (bass), Tyler “Falcon” Greenwell (drums), Isaac Eady (drums), Mike Mattison (vocals), Mark Rivers (vocals), Alecia Chakour (vocals), Kebbi Williams (saxophone), Ephraim Owens (trumpet) and Elizabeth Lea (trombone).
Ziggy Marley is an eight-time Grammy winner, Emmy winner, musician, producer, activist and humanitarian who has cultivated a legendary career for close to 40 years. The eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley, Ziggy has hewed his own path as a musical pioneer, infusing the reggae genre with funk, blues, rock and other elements through mindful songcraft. Equal parts master storyteller and motivational guide, he deftly explores issues from environmental awareness to self-empowerment, social injustice to political inequity, while returning again and again to the transformative power of love. And over the past 15 years with his own companies, Tuff Gong Worldwide and Ishti Music, Marley has complete control of his masters and publishing; alongside his charity URGE – benefiting the well-being of children in Jamaica, Africa and North America.

The circumstances surrounding the creation of The Lumineers’ fourth album, BRIGHTSIDE (out
January 14), were unlike anything Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites had previously
experienced in their nearly two decades of making music together. They were five months into a
projected two-year tour behind their 2019 album, III, with no plans to start work on another LP,
when the pandemic forced them off the road in March 2020. That gut punch occurred as Fraites
was preparing to relocate from Denver to his wife’s hometown in Italy, where COVID-19 was
running rampant. Suddenly, everything was up in the air. But finding themselves with time on
their hands, they figured they might as well make use of it. Each wound up recording a solo
album—“accidentally,” Schultz jokes—and those spontaneous side trips inspired them to flip the
script on their collaborative creative process.
With time on his hands, Fraites, who’d been storing up pieces of music for years, composed
three instrumental songs for the Calm app and wound up recording an album of piano
instrumentals, which he would release as Piano Piano. In July, he and Schultz started working
on new material together, continuing into September, when Fraites moved to Italy. At that point,
Schultz headed to the Catskills, where the group’s producer Simone Felice and co-
producer/engineer/mixer David Baron lived and worked. There, they spontaneously proceeded
to record a batch of stripped-back covers of songs from, among other favorites, Dylan, Warren
Zevon and the Blue Nile; he would title the project Vignettes. Two months later, Fraites returned
to Denver, and they resumed working on the songs that would comprise BRIGHTSIDE with
renewed energy and perspective.
“The way we did Vignettes was so different from how I was making Lumineers records with
Jer,”Schultz recalls. “I was showing up at Simone and David’s studio not really knowing what
we’d be doing that day, just letting things happen. There was no planning or choreography—we
were creating in real time. And that experience seeped into the making of BRIGHTSIDE.
“In our demo sessions for the previous records, Jer and I would typically do anywhere from 10
to 50 versions of each song using Pro Tools; we’d orchestrate it differently, speed it up, slow it
down or change keys in an effort to find the most potent version of the idea. But this time it was
bare-bones. We started demoing in Jer’s basement and didn’t even touch the computer—we
just used my phone to record voice memos on, and that was what we sent to Simone. For me, it
was about wanting to have more curiosity in the studio and not have everything all dialed in. It
felt like a new path.”
Fraites concurs. “As weird as it sounds, I feel like 2020 was the most fertile creative period of
my whole life, for so many reasons,” he says. “I finished the solo instrumental album, and when
Wes and I started working on songs together, I felt alive and switched on, and we worked really
fast. I think we trusted ourselves more. We homed in on things. So when we went into the studio
with Simone, he just had these shitty, very low-fi iPhone recordings that left a lot more to the
imagination than the previous processes. And that was exciting.”
As they got down to business in Fraites’ basement, the absence of premeditation and second-
guessing supercharged their creative process. “Sometimes it’s a kernel of an idea or some
random line that becomes your north star,” Schultz points out. “With ‘BIG SHOT,’ for example,
Jer sent me a demo that had the line, ‘I want to be a big shot, big man,’ something like that.
That was all he had, but I was like, ‘There’s something really compelling here.’ At other times it
was just a feeling. So a lot of it came out of wailing away and getting lost in that and then
recording it on my phone, but then listening back and going, ‘There’s something to this; what’s
happening here?’”
“So a big part of this record was just finding the spirit of each song. Like, with ‘NEVER REALLY
MINE,’ I asked myself, how do I make you feel like you’re having such a loud argument with
your lover that the cops are being called by your neighbors?”
“The beauty of our songwriting relationship,” says Fraites, “is that a couplet I came up with,
‘Love was not designed for time/You were never really mine,’ became the chorus, and then Wes
wrote the rest of the lyrics, and it turned into this amazing song.”
“Making this record was about turning the judgmental part of your brain off and just being like a
kid, but having the skills of someone who’s been playing for 20-plus years,” Schultz explains. “It
was a beautiful combination of innocence mixed with some level of acumen or skill—
reconnecting with that innocent impulse you had when you first decided that you wanted to be a
musician. So that was part of what made this album different from our previous ones. Another
huge part of it was realizing that we had told a lot of stories with our lyrics, whereas with this
one, it became more about trying to communicate a feeling, as opposed to telegraphing exactly
what the song is about. I had to go away from that, and it was really refreshing. So a lot of it
casts a spell—it makes you feel something.”
Liberated from their routine and invigorated by this new/old process of in-the-moment give and
take, Schultz and Fraites headed for Felice and Baron’s Sun Mountain Studios in Boiceville,
N.Y., to begin tracking BRIGHTSIDE in March 2021. Also on hand were two members of the
touring band, bassist/backing vocalist Byron Isaacs and violinist Lauren Jacobson, while Baron
would contribute keys and synths.
On The Lumineers’ two prior albums, Felice and the band would hang pictures and quotes on a
vision board that sat in the control room. When they entered the studio on day one of the
BRIGHTSIDE project, the vision board displayed only a black-and-white photo of Noel and Liam
Gallagher onstage at Knebworth during Oasis’ peak, and beneath it, the producer written a
single word: “FREE.” Clearly, Felice had sensed a newfound energy crackling out of those
iPhone demos, and he was all-in on the partners’ urge to create magic on the spot.
The breakout moment occurred soon thereafter when they tackled “BRIGHTSIDE,” the bones of
which Schultz had come up with pre-pandemic during a tour of Australia. “I was strumming the
riff, which had this shimmering quality and a lot of punch to it, and I said, ‘I don’t know who’s
going to play what, but that riff has to happen in the song.’ Jer was warming up and playing this
strange sort of ‘Don’t Come Around Here No More’ drumbeat.”
Like Schultz, Fraites vividly remembers the moment of ignition and the sensation he felt as it
was happening. “The drums got tuned, and I just started playing a drumbeat that I’d never
played before in my entire life, without putting that much thought into it,” he says. “It felt really
good and it sounded awesome. And I had no idea we were being recorded. David Baron says
that he leapt across the room to hit the space bar on his Pro Tools to start recording the
drumbeat.”
Back to Schultz. “There was a Gretsch White Falcon like the one Neil Young often played in
the ’70s, and I picked it up as a joke. I said, ‘What if I try this?’ We started playing, and I felt like
I was 15 when I first started playing guitar. I was excited and surprised by the sounds and
hearing this huge-sounding beat.”

Formed by Rzeznik and Takac in Buffalo, NY during 1986, Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken
records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans,
and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 15 million records
worldwide, the group has garnered four GRAMMY® Award nominations and nearly a dozen
platinum & gold singles combined, and seized a page in the history books by achieving 16
number one and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10
Singles.” Thus far, A Boy Named Goo [1995] has gone double-platinum, Dizzy Up The Girl five-
times-platinum, and Gutterflower [2002] and Let Love In [2006] both went gold as Something for
the Rest of Us [2010] and Magnetic [2013] bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. Their
music continues to reach new audiences around the world and rack up platinum & gold statuses
– including the recently platinum-certified “Slide”, “Black Balloon” and “Better Days” – and has
been covered by everyone from Taylor Swift to Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers, Demi
Lovato and more. Among a string of hits, “Iris” clutched the #1 spot on Billboard's Adult Top 40
chart for 18 weeks would be named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” The track recently
achieved seven-times-platinum status and re-entered the Billboard charts this year, yet again
proving the timelessness of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.
Multi-platinum artists Fitz and The Tantrums have energized popular music and culture with a
series of unshakable, undeniable, and ubiquitous anthems and albums. Since 2008, the Los
Angeles collective have magnified the scope of pop with a dash of indie, a dose of soul, and a
whole lot of dancefloor-ready bounce. Their catalog spans fan favorite records such as Pickin’
up the Pieces [2010], More Than Just A Dream [2013], the gold-certified Fitz and The Tantrums
[2016], and All the Feels [2019]. Along the way, they’ve impressively tallied just shy of 4 billion
streams and counting powered by enduring hits such as the triple-platinum “HandClap,”
platinum “Out of My League” and “The Walker,” and gold “Moneygrabber.” As an inescapable
presence, their music has notably coursed through the mainstream conversation, soundtracking
films on NETFLIX and campaigns for CVS Wellness, Sunchips, Sofi, Xfinity, Walmart,
Norwegian Cruise Line, Lays, and Wells Fargo, to name a few. Beyond standout performances
everywhere from Coachella and Bonaroo to numerous late-night television shows, they’ve
consistently sold out some of the most iconic venues in the world, including The Forum and Red
Rocks Amphitheatre. Not to mention, they’ve incited the applause from Rolling Stone, Billboard,
People, and more. In 2021, Fitz and The Tantrums frontman Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick released
his first-ever solo album Head Up High under the moniker FITZ. Meanwhile, co-lead vocalist
Noelle Scaggs founded Diversify The Stage to help foster more diverse, inclusive, equitable,
and accessible concerts, events, and touring workforces for historically marginalized and
underrepresented communities. Fitz and The Tantrums once again leap forward with their bold,
bright, and buoyant new album Let Yourself Free.
