James Durbin is back and he's ready to? Rock, of course! What other answer were you expecting?!?!
James Durbin has announced that he will release his new album, Riot On Sunset on July 15.  Riot On Sunset is the first new music from James in over 2 years and will include his latest single, “Smackdown.” 
“Smackdown” is available for digital download through CD Baby  here: www.cdbaby.com/CD/jamesdurbin2   and iTunes here: https://itun.es/us/S_4Fbb
“Smackdown” showcases James’ signature hard rock sound in a grand way with crunching guitar riffs and a truly epic drum beat.  From the opening bass riff to the closing scream & all the debauchery in between, James Durbin is back & better than ever before. 
The video for “Smackdown” has been making a serious impact since its release in April as it was selected for Loudwire’s Battle Royale competition where it currently occupies the #2 spot on their Top 10 countdown. See here: http://loudwire.com/battle-royale-devildriver-debut-big-backwordz-video-countdown-domination/
 Watch the video for “Smackdown”: 


James is also excited to get back out on the road this summer with his new band to perform brand new material from Riot On Sunset  for the first time.  “We’ve been grinding away on this album for months now.  It’s hard to believe it’s time to release it to the world on July 15. I feel like I’ve grown a lot in the studio and as an artist. I hope all the fans will enjoy what I have to say on the album as I have truly loved co-writing & co-producing Riot On Sunset” says James.  See below for confirmed tour dates.

TREVOR HALL

COMES FULL CIRCLE WITH HIS NEW RELEASE

KALA

THE THIRD AND FINAL CHAPTER IN HIS THREE ALBUM SERIES

TAPING PBS SHOW ON TOUR JUNE 16TH AT WORLD CAFÉ IN WILMINGTON, DE

PERFORMING IN DEEPAK CHOPRA’S GLOBAL MEDITATION FOR COMPASSION ON JULY 11TH IN CARLSBAD, CA

Ohm...Ohm...Ohm...It's Trevor Hall... 

TREVOR HALL has announced the release of his upcoming album KALA on August 21, 2015. Written in Hawaii and recorded in L.A., KALA marks the final chapter in a trilogy that chronicles Trevor’s spiritual and musical journey over the past few years.  KALA, which means ‘time’ in Sanskrit, embodies the very essence of time, permeating in each of the album’s tracks.

Trevor explains, “A year ago, my grandmother said to me…‘Isn’t time such a wonderful gift?’…….That was the seed. That was the beginning … ‘Time.’ …For as long as I can remember, time was something that I looked upon negatively. It was always a burden, a pressure, a restriction. It was something that I was always running out of, something that I couldn’t grasp. I constantly encumbered myself with the impossible task of figuring everything out right now. I mean, we’re running out of time, aren’t we? Look around you … Our daily lives are ruled by time. Everyone is in a rush. Everyone is trying to get things done before time runs out. We are bound by it, frustrated with it, and often angry at it.

When my grandmother looked up to me from her wheel chair on that golden afternoon, something happened. I didn’t know it then, but that one remark would stick with me for weeks and months to come. Slowly, but inevitably, her words would unravel the weighted tassels of time that I had continually allowed myself to be fettered by. In time, time changed its face.

Thus … KALA was born.

‘Kala’ is the Sanskrit word for ‘time.’ In contrast to my inherited understanding of time, many Eastern cultures of our world understand and treat time for its eternal nature. It is spoken of in its relationship to space and to growth. It fosters wisdom and right understanding. It is the womb of all creation - from which we all came, and to which we will all return to. There is no beginning, and there is no end.

This album mirrors my journey with time….my journey to surrender more deeply to it. KALA is about time the healer, time the teacher, time the friend, and all the lessons within. My hope and prayer is that these songs and stories help inspire us to look at this journey of life in all its vastness rather than its limitation.”

TREVOR HALL’S musical trilogy began with the 2014 release of CHAPTER OF THE FOREST, born during a yearlong sabbatical in which Hall returned to his beloved India, Nepal, Vermont, and Maine. His journey continued with his most recent EP UNPACK YOUR MEMORIES, a collection including some of Hall’s most personal tracks recorded on his laptop solely by him.   

Hall is currently in the midst of his summer tour which will include two special performances. He will be featured on Emmy Award winning PBS show On Tour that will be taped at World Café Live in Wilmington, Delaware on June 16th. The program will air in the fall. The On Tour series is recorded live on location at local venues in and around Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. It airs on PBS station WHYY-TV. On July 11th, Trevor will be the featured performer in Deepak Chopra’s 2nd annual Global Meditation for Compassion at the Deepak Chopra Center in Carlsbad, CA. The event will be streamed live in English and Spanish. For more information on this event visit https://chopracentermeditation.com/globalmeditation
