Nazareth’s first foray without founder member and front man Dan McCafferty has come to a relatively quick end having parted ways singer Linton Osbourne.
According to Osbourne via his Facebook page, the position simply "didn’t work out, for me, or for the band. I’d like to thank Pete, Jimmy & Lee for the opportunity. I’d also like to thank Dan for his support and encouragement."
The announcement came a week after Nazareth had to cancel a scheduled UK tour due to a vocal cord ailment that Osbourne contracted while touring Europe and had had not fully recovered from.
Linton Osborne was hired last year after Dan McCafferty was forced to retire from live performance due to COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) shortly after the release of what became McCafferty’s swan song with the band, Rock 'N' Roll Telephone.

Multi award-winning guitarist, singer/ songwriter and British Blues Hall of Famer Matt Schofield returns to the UK with his 'Return of the Trio Tour' dates in March.
Schofield and his band will play The Jazz Cafe, London (March 3rd), followed by The Guildhall, Lichfield (March 6th) and the Bristol Jazz Festival (March 8th).
The three UK concerts follow Schofield’s November 2014 UK tour which met with rave reviews, and will showcase tracks from his critically acclaimed fifth studio album Far As I Can See.
The trio line-up features Matt Schofield (guitar vocals), Jonny Henderson (Hammond Organ and keyboards), and Evan Jenkins (drums).
Over the last decade Schofield has earned a formidable international reputation as one of the most innovative and revered contemporary blues inspired guitarists on the world stage today.
"Schofield transcends comparisons, undeniably his own man with his own sound and style," says Guitar Magazine. "There isn’t a better British blues guitarist playing currently."

IO Earth, a band that are truly progressive in their musical scope and sound, will push their musical and creative boundaries even further on the 23rd May when they perform at The Crescent Theatre in Birmingham as a 14 piece unit, including a string section and extended brass section.
The show, dubbed IO Earth & The Orchestra of Sound and Emotion, will accompany the release of their widely anticipated third studio album New World and is set to consist of over two hours of music played by some of the best musicians in the UK.
Founder members Dave Cureton (guitars, vocals) and Adam Gough (keyboards) believe the band have come a long way since their first gigs as IO Earth in 2009 and want to show that in full at this landmark homecoming event in Birmingham:
“We decided to put on a show which is truly that - ‘a Show” confirmed Dave.
“We feel that people expect value for money and that's what we are trying to create. We want to make something really special. Every genre we cover and every song in the catalogue can benefit from being tweaked for this 14 piece band ... and some may be tweaked a little more than others.”
“The addition of live strings and more brass will augment the live sound in a way we never thought we would have a chance to hear.” adds Adam Gough.
“We can't wait to hear the results for ourselves, and sharing with you, our IO Earth Family will be a real honour. Whether your favourites are the soft, airy songs like Smokey Wood and Drifting, the guitar-led melodies of The Creation and Moments, or the full on stonkers like Light & Shade, you will not go away unsatisfied."
This is an undertaking the group are not taking lightly by any means.
IO Earth has been rehearsing tirelessly for months and the string and horn arrangements will be worked and reworked until they're just right.
This is an opportunity you simply cannot afford to miss… and who knows, you may come away with a really rather special raffle prize…

TOTO - TOTO XIV Frontiers Music Press Release
Celebrated rock band TOTO will release Toto XIV – there first studio album in ten years – on Frontiers Music Srl in Europe on March 20th, followed by the UK on March 23rd and the US on March 24th.
The album release will be followed by a World Tour that kicks off in Glasgow on May 21st, 2015.

The new album is a realised vision three plus decades in the making exhibiting world-class musicianship, masterful arrangements, topical lyrical commentary, and melodies that the collective genius of Steve Lukather, David Paich, Steve Porcaro, Joseph Williams and their assembled band-mates bring to life.
Toto XIV is the band’s first album of new material since 2006’s Falling In Between, however, the band personally considers the new album to be the true follow-up to Totot IV, which made the band global superstars.
"This is opposite of going through the motions," says keyboardist Steve Porcaro. "We’re treating this like it is Toto V, our follow-up to Toto IV. We just want to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Be true to ourselves and make the best music we can. Entertain people which is what we were put on this earth for."
"When you put us in a room, and everybody brings in their pieces, the next thing you know it all fits together" says guitarist Steve Lukather. "Everybody's performances are top notch. We are really bringing our best out, forcing ourselves to make personal best choices, what's best for the music. I'm really excited to hear what people think."
Toto XIV – track listing:
Running Out Of Time; Burn; Holy War; 21st Century Blues; Orphan; Unknown Soldier (For Jeffrey);
The Little Things; Chinatown; All the Tears That Shine; Fortune; Great Expectations.

The album release will be followed by a World Tour that kicks off in Glasgow on May 21st, 2015.
Album configurations include CD, with a Deluxe Edition available featuring a "Making of Documentary" on DVD, expanded booklet that includes an in depth story and interview about the new album alongside exclusive pictures in ecol-book packaging.
Additionally Toto XIV will be available as a 2LP vinyl set, and a Super Deluxe limited edition which includes the Deluxe CD/ DVD edition, 2LP vinyl, an exclusive poster, t-shirt (large size only), and lithograph.
A pre-order has gone live via Amazon for the LP, CD and Deluxe Edition, and from RecordStore.co.uk and from all digital retailers.
The new album is a realised vision three plus decades in the making exhibiting world-class musicianship, masterful arrangements, topical lyrical commentary, and melodies that the collective genius of Steve Lukather, David Paich, Steve Porcaro, Joseph Williams and their assembled band-mates bring to life.
Toto XIV is the band’s first album of new material since 2006’s Falling In Between, however, the band personally considers the new album to be the true follow-up to Totot IV, which made the band global superstars.
"This is opposite of going through the motions," says keyboardist Steve Porcaro. "We’re treating this like it is Toto V, our follow-up to Toto IV. We just want to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Be true to ourselves and make the best music we can. Entertain people which is what we were put on this earth for."
"When you put us in a room, and everybody brings in their pieces, the next thing you know it all fits together" says guitarist Steve Lukather. "Everybody's performances are top notch. We are really bringing our best out, forcing ourselves to make personal best choices, what's best for the music. I'm really excited to hear what people think."
Toto XIV – track listing:
Running Out Of Time; Burn; Holy War; 21st Century Blues; Orphan; Unknown Soldier (For Jeffrey);
The Little Things; Chinatown; All the Tears That Shine; Fortune; Great Expectations.

Pat Travers Band - Live at the Iridium NYC Frontiers Music announcement
Who is ready for some rip roarin' guitar playin' courtesy of the Pat Travers Band!
Frontiers Music are pleased to announce the release of the Pat Travers Band’s newest live album, Live at the Iridium NYC, on January 23rd (Europe) and January 27th (North America).
Pre-orders on Amazon.com can be taken here: http://geni.us/PatTraversIridiumAMZ
Toronto-born Pat Travers is truly a swaggering hard-rock axeman, picking up his first guitar after a Jimi Hendrix performance in Ottawa.
His debut album was released in 1976 and, while his most successful releases like Makin’ Magic and Crash and Burn are now more than 30 years old, he never consigned himself to the nostalgia circuit.
In 2012 the Pat Travers Band re-established itself with a new line-up, the return of drummer Sandy Gennaro and a new record Can Do, released the following year.
Can Do was a great album which saw Pat Travers and his band playing better than ever; in the tour that lead up to the release of Can Do, Pat picked the right venue for this celebration of a new live CD, Live at the Iridium NYC.
Pat says: "The two shows that we played at the Iridium Club in February 2012 marked the first time I ever really felt totally comfortable and at home in 'The Big Apple.' The people at the Iridium just made us feel like we were honorary New Yorkers. It was awesome.
"Having done an extensive European tour at the end of 2011, a Caribbean Cruise Ship gig and a bunch of concerts at the beginning of the year the band was on fire. So being able to record a set at the Iridium in New York City was the perfect venue and time to capture the PTB at their smoking best.
"We were fortunate to have Jon Paris join us on Blues Harp for two classic tunes and he just tore it up and showed us all how the Blues is really done."
Presenting all the highlights of his career and combining the individual talents with the chemistry of being on the stage, you can feel an energy that is tangible on this recording, an enjoyment that is infectious, and, quite frankly, you owe it to yourself to catch this band whenever and wherever you can.
Pat Travers Band - Live at the Iridium NY track listing:
Rock and Roll Susie; Gettin’ Betta; Crash and Burn; Heat in the Street; Josephine; I’ve Got News For You; Ask Me Baby; I La, La, La Love You; Lone Wolf (Kirk McKim solo) / Red House; If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day; Spoonful; Black Betty.
Pat Travers: Guitar, Vocals
Kirk McKim: Guitar, Vocals
Rodney O’Quinn: Bass Guitar, Vocals
Sandy Gennaro: Drums
Special Guest Jon Paris: Blues Harp on If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day and Spoonful.

"The U-Rock Network™ covers many of today's best new artists, and plays them side by side with the underexposed rock music long forgotten by marketing trends and fads."
Sentiments echoed by FabricationsHQ and what amounts to the Mission Statement of Kevin Timothy and the The U-Rock Network™, a digital broadcasting outlet that features new and forgotten bands over the popular or name acts; The U-Rock Network is also one of the few digital broadcasters to play all genres or rock from all eras.
With the help of fan-funding sponsorship and donations Kevin is looking to launch more station affiliates which, in turn, gives The U-Rock Network the opportunity to support to more bands that are ignored by 'Classic Rock' stations that kow-tow to Greatest Hits fashion, play every track you already have in your album collection and, the worst failing of them all, refuse to play any unsigned band or even acts (name artists or otherwise) that don’t have a ‘major’ distribution deal.

A melodic six-string improvisation with a little fret-shredding from Damian Salazar.
"Who?" you might ask.
Exactly.
"Who?" you might ask.
Exactly.
Watching this clip adds to the countless number of street performers I've seen first hand, heard or viewed on Youtube from Buenos Ares to Bolton, from country-picking folk players to fusion-istic note-benders, who are genuinely talented.
Back in the day of A&R men and talent spotters many would be signed acts.
But thankfully their loss is not felt as picking up the slack and filling the void are One Direction, Jedward, Cheryl, Rihanna, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus et al.
Hoorah.

Steven Wilson, a musician, singer and songwriter who can truly be called a progressive artist in the progressive rock genre – and there’s hellish few of ‘em – will play six dates in the UK in March to coincide with the release of his fourth solo album Hand. Cannot. Erase.
The UK shows, which start on the 12th March at the Cambridge Corn Exchange, will be in advance of the European dates that kick off in Cologne on the 20th of March.
According to Wilson plans are afoot to develop "a show that I hope will raise the bar both musically and visually from my previous tours, with a set list based around the new album, as well as casting the net further back into my songwriting past for a few surprises."
Steven Wilson UK Tour dates 2015 :

According to Wilson plans are afoot to develop "a show that I hope will raise the bar both musically and visually from my previous tours, with a set list based around the new album, as well as casting the net further back into my songwriting past for a few surprises."

Blackberry Smoke will follow up their outstanding album The Whippoorwill with a new studio release, Holding all the Roses, in February.
Blackberry Smoke are in fine form right now, as documented by the recent live album Leave a Scar, and with Brendan O’Brien at the production helm of the forthcoming studio release they could well
better The Whippoorwill, as hinted by the band’s vocalist Charlie Starr:
"We'd wanted to make a record with Brendan since we started the band, simply because he made all our favourite records of the early to mid 90's, starting with the first two Black Crowes records, Four Horsemen, Raging Slab, Dan Baird... then into Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen... It was fabulous and an honour to make music with him. I just think it's the best record we've ever made."
Holding All The Roses is scheduled for a February 9th release on Earache Records.

Nice to see Jes Falcon back with his own take on the rock genre via the punchy single 'Everybody Lies at Night.'
Jes Falcon is not so much alternative rock as simply a brand that carries a funky punkiness – or perhaps it's a punky funkiness; it's certainly worth a listen via the new single or his solo album Fake Bluff, reviewed on FabricationsHQ and released in 2012.

Singer Robin DeLorenzo’s vocal signals first appeared on the FabricationsHQ radar via Hellacious, the loud ‘N’ proud 2012 physical/ 2013 digital release from the Manny Charlton Band.
While Hellacious proved Miss DeLorenzo can belt out a tune with the best of ‘em, at the heart of her voice is rhythm and blues & countrified pop, showcased on her recently released solo album Walkin’ Miles in My Shoes; it’s also her most accomplished and complete work to date.
A review of Walkin’ Miles in My Shoes can be found here but if you want an audio sample of Robin DeLorenzo’s sonorific qualities, check out her impromptu Acapella home singing of 'I’d Rather Go Blind.'

That sort of video should guarantee automatic entry to any of The Voice reality TV programmes currently airing in various parts of the world but Robin DeLorenzo’s natural gift is also her failing – she’s a natural talent that doesn’t need to be manufactured, mentored or modelled in someone else’s music-to-watch-and-not-to-listen-to image.
So Robin DeLorenzo continues to walk miles in her own shoes, performing numbers on her latest album such as the rocking rhythm and blues song 'It Does Something' featuring Manny Charlton and the beautiful and poignant voice and strings of 'Pink Ribbon Angels.'
Make no mistake; if the former had been Beth Hart featuring Joe Bonamassa and the latter recorded by Stevie Nicks, they would never be off rock and mainstream radio, respectively.
