Since emerging back in 2008, “country music’s iconic feel-good duo” named by PEOPLE, BBR Music Group/BMG’s Wheelhouse Records’ LOCASH – Preston Brust and Chris Lucas – is “hitting homers and serving up first-class songs,” as hailed by American Songwriter. With their loud-and-proud anthem “Three Favorite Colors” as their current release, they recently delivered back-to-back high-profile collaborations with “Let It Slide” (Leslie Jordan, Blanco Brown, LOCASH) and “Beach Boys” (feat. The Beach Boys’ Mike Love and Bruce Johnston).

PUDDLE OF MUDD– Formed in 1991, multi-platinum-selling rock band, Puddle of Mudd has sold over seven million albums worldwide and has had a string of chart-topping hits, including “Blurry,” “She Hates Me,” “Psycho,” “Famous,” “Drift and Die,” and “Control.” Wes Scantlin has provided Puddle of Mudd with lead vocals and rhythm guitar since the band’s inception. The origins of the band’s name came from the Missouri River flooding, damaging the band’s rehearsal space in Kansas City, Missouri.
“Once a songwriter, always a songwriter,” says Scantlin. “You can never put down the instruments. You have to focus on the creation of amazing music. You might be able to touch people’s souls and possibly even save them from disaster. You can enlighten them and bring more love to their lives. This is just the beginning. I have a lot more rock ‘n’ roll in me to share with the world.”

The Gang’s All Here is the octane of an attitude that’s been festering since the band formed in 1986. Producer Nick Raskulinecz lit a creative wildfire by challenging them to deconstruct good ideas and rebuild them into something even better. Something timeless. He became the arbiter of their legacy, daring them to revert to instinct and be the same rambunctious kids who made their first two albums. That creative closeness led to the spontaneity of actually writing new songs during rehearsal. Someone demonstrating new riffs quickly turned into “World On Fire” and “Not Dead Yet” being written on the spot. That old school style of Skid Row makes The Gang’s All Here immediately familiar. It’s the sound of having a good time. From songwriting to performances, the whole band agrees that the ten tracks on The Gang’s All Here are some of their best songs — ever. There’s also a noticeable connectedness in the songs that often gets lost in the technology of making music.
You won’t be disappointed. The Gang’s All Here is a revival of everything you ever loved about Skid Row. Snake calls it a rebirth. “There’s a newfound energy and passion — and excitement — because we were challenged. When we’re challenged, we rise to that challenge. We still have a lot left inside that we need to say. Making this album has shown me that we still have a lot left in the tank.” The gang’s all here — you, the band, and the attitude of being forever wild and young at heart. The Gang’s All Here will rekindle everything you felt that first time hearing this band. It’s like the first time you heard Skid Row, all over again.
Skid Row’s career has taken them from their humble beginnings to selling over 20 million records worldwide, millions of tickets & headlining festivals all over the world!
Warrant’s signature style of rock music is very catchy and yet very melodic and remains the band’s signature sound today. Over the course of their career, Warrant has sold over 10 million albums worldwide. The song “Cherry Pie” has taken on a pop culture life of its own, being featured in countless movies, TV shows, commercials and the hugely popular video game Guitar Hero II. After more than three decades of rock, touring all over the country, these rockers can’t wait to play not only ALL the hits fans know & love, but also new tunes/videos like “Louder Harder Faster” & “I Think I Will Just Stay Here & Drink.”
Winger has made a name for themselves with relentless touring, while winning back fans and critics alike because of their exceptional musicianship, Kip Winger’s powerful vocals and the band’s incredible songwriting. In 2006, they released their 4th studio album, IV, which is the most musically progressive album of Winger’s career. Lyrically, much of the album is sung from the perspective of U.S. soldiers stationed overseas. In 2009, Winger released their 5th studio album, Karma. In 2014, Winger released their 6th studio album, Better Days Comin’, which entered at #4 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums Chart and at #85 on Billboard’s Top 200. The band continues to tour and just finished writing their seventh album, which is expected to be released in the first half of 2023.
