Great time in Atlanta today as Mike Stern was interviewed by Rick Beato, the hottest and hippest contemporary music interviewer in the biz! Rick's YouTube channel has 4.4 million subscribers with absolutely brilliant content across many genres. Rick is a huge Mike Stern fan, and we all hit it off immediately!

I am elated to announce that 6 time Grammy nominated Mike Stern has signed to Mack Avenue Music Group/Artistry Records for his upcoming September 13 release, "Echoes And Other Songs." Produced by the late great keyboardist, Jim Beard, the album features an all-star cast including, Christian McBride, Richard Bona, Dennis Chambers, Antonio Sanchez, Chris Potter, Bob Franceschini, Arto Tunçboyacian, Jim Beard, and Leni Stern. "Echoes And Other Songs" delivers all the elements that longtime Stern fans want, and then some: hook-filled rapid-fire bebop writing; gorgeous melodic sensibility culled from African music, gospel and other influences; and breakneck improvisations that pepper hornlike bop virtuosity with rock fire. Along with this announcement, Stern has shared the lead single “Stuff Happens,” which features the 9-time Grammy Award winner Christian McBride. The agreement with Mack Avenue Group also includes 3 Mike Stern classic Heads Up catalog recordings, “Who Let The Cats Out,” “Big Neighborhood,” and “All Over The Place,” which will be reissued in the near future. Needless to say Mike and I are excited to be on board with the Mack Avenue team!

Produced by Jim Beard
Executive Producer, Guy Eckstine
Recorded and mixed by Roy Hendrickson
Mastered by Greg Calbi, Sterling Sound
Recorded at Power Station at Berklee, NYC

You can catch the The Claudettes at Shelton Auditorium at Butler University in Indianapolis this Friday night, April 26 @ 8:00 PM!

“Chicago’s original recipe band…The Claudettes’ sonic playing field is the blues and everything after, all tastefully and artfully blended together….Perhaps the band’s greatest super power: songwriting.”—NPR Music

“A skewed cabaret band of blues, jazz and rockabilly…a sensibility that feels equal parts James Dean and David Lynch.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Holy Mackerel…I hear so many levels of what I consider amazing creativity…I hear touches of Jerry Lee Lewis at his most manic…of cinema…of multiple genres wrapping around one another…These guys are the B-movies of the music world—maybe not understood now, but in the future, the kings and queens of the universe!”—Frank Gutch Jr., No Depression

“The Claudettes Go Out! shows the band’s mastery of every era of American music, from the roots of the blues to today’s modern pop….the Claudettes pen standards for a new generation.”—J. Poet, Rock & Roll Globe

I started working with and managing Isolde Fair just about one year ago. We have finally reached the starting gate with the release of Isolde’s debut single and video, “Strip Away, is a pleasing amalgam of classical and pop music as Isolde showcases her well-balanced sense of self awareness, stunning vocal chops, and impressive songwriting prowess. It’s been quite journey for the Los Angeles native from violin prodigy, Hillary Clinton tweets, and Grammy and BMI Award recognition.

Although Isolde had a budding career as a concert violinist, the young artist was contemplating other paths for her musical endeavors. So too, it seemed, was the universe. When Isolde sustained an injury to her right elbow, she was forced to step back from the orchestra. “The injury actually saved my life in the sense that I had a renewed purpose,” shares Isolde. “My tween and teen years were filled with violin lessons, summer camps, concerts, and a demanding practice regimen, and I think subconsciously I had already begun the process of pulling away from all of that to follow my true creative instinct as a singer and songwriter.”

Isolde will be releasing singles over the coming months ahead ultimately leading to her debut EP later this year. The “Strip Away” release also features two music videos shot in LA and NYC.

“Strip Away” is about getting rid of negative energy and toxicity, and allowing yourself to be fully you without any obstacles in the way. I wrote it because I had so many obstacles that I was navigating at the time. The last part of the song talks about gratitude for the people that have hurt me, in the sense that I have learned from them and it has made me a stronger person. - Isolde Fair

Here’s a lil’ teaser video for Muo Duo’s second single, “Highlights” from their upcoming EP, The Muo Theory! You can stream “Highlights” on all the usual DSPs’ now! “Highlights” follows the EP’s first single, “Exciting Times,” which dropped earlier this year.

“Highlights has an intro that will hook you immediately,” proclaims Miles From Space. “It’s an indie-pop joyride. It’s an off-the-wall experience. The bass heavy, vibey fever dream features lyrics about flying saucers, alien apes, blue goo, and hot takes. Showing a grittier side of our indie pop sound, this track mixes influences to take the feeling to the next level. It's really like nothing you have heard before."

Miles is almost certainly right – it’s like nothing you’ve heard before. Over the two years that Miles and Winter have been working as Muo Duo, they have continued to develop a unique, genre-bending style that knows no bounds. Their upbeat sonic confections combine elements of Pop, Rock, Indie, Punk, and psychedelic Hip-Hop, and have attracted a supremely loyal following.

22/03/2024

I am elated to announce that Iconique Music Group is the worldwide management team for Simon Phillips Protocol! Simon is an absolute legend and monster behind the drum kit, and I am so excited to be representing Simon and his fantastic band!

By his twenties, Simon had already worked with iconic figures including Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce, Pete Townshend, Al Di Meola, Jon Anderson, Jan Hammer, Stanley Clarke, Mike Oldfield, Brian Eno, and others. High-profile recordings and/or tours were soon to come with the likes of Mick Jagger, Asia, The Who, and many more. But it was the untimely death of drummer Jeff Porcaro that led to Simon’s 21-year presence in Toto (1992-2014), highlighted by ten albums and numerous world tours.

Simon’s own compositions and group concept began to gel with the Protocol II album in 2013. There have since been three more Protocol albums, including a Grammy nomination in 2018 for Protocol IV in the ‘Best Contemporary Instrumental Album’ category, culminating with Protocol V in 2022. The band features longtime electric bassist Ernest Tibbs (Allan Holdsworth), veteran keyboardist Otmaro Ruiz (John McLaughlin), Jacob Scesney on saxophones, and the brilliant young Los Angeles guitarist, Alex Sill.

Special shoutout to my former Verve Records colleague, Mike Charlasch @ Morphist, (also a fellow drummer and UCLA Bruin), for putting the bug in Simon’s ear! As a result, we’ve put the Verve “dream team” back together! It’s time to reach even higher ground!
