GRAMMY® Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, guitar legend, producer, and Gov’t Mule front man Warren Haynes has officially revealed the details for his new solo album, Million Voices Whisper, and has shared the first single “This Life As We Know It.” The new song is Warren’s universal message for embracing the positivity of change and looking forward through a new lens – one that starts within.

Today, as the sun rises and sets, we celebrate the birth of a soul who once soared through the realms of music like a comet across the night sky. Charlie "Bird" Parker, the architect of bebop, the virtuoso who reshaped the very essence of jazz, was born on this day, and in his honor, we gather our thoughts, our memories, and our gratitude.

Bird was not just a musician; he was a force of nature, a storm that tore through the conventions of melody and rhythm, leaving behind a landscape forever changed. His saxophone did not merely play notes; it sang the human experience—raw, unfiltered, and relentless. His music was the voice of the unspoken, the rhythm of the untamed, the melody of the soul's deepest longings.

King Llama, the LA-based progressive fusion band, is thrilled to announce the release of their eagerly awaited new album fata implexis—a record that redefines the boundaries of genre and takes listeners on a daring, electrifying journey. Produced by the legendary Dennis MacKay, whose illustrious career includes work with David Bowie, Return to Forever, and Stanley Clarke, fata implexis is a masterclass in sonic innovation and collaboration.

The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown is back with a funk-filled explosion of sound in their latest release, RepurposE Purpose, Vol 1.
