BELLFLOWER, Calif. -- Meet Musically Gifted Artist Romeo Dale Ross, the Next Great Talent of His Generation. Romeo Dale Ross is an R&B soul artist, born in Los Angeles, California. He has built a reputation for being musically gifted, free styling on the open mic circuit or just performing acappella for music-lovers in clubs and at various venues.

Since playing the piano at the age of 3-years-old, Romeo has been known as an 'old soul.' Deeply inspired by the R&B/Soul sound of the 70's and 80's, the 26-year-old multi-instrumentalist, arranger, composer, producer and writer is considered to be one of the next great young talents of his generation. Growing up in a musical family added to Romeo's love of music. His father Ray Ross is an established and respected artist, pianist and songwriter.

Romeo was influenced by R&B, funk, blues, jazz, and gospel influences which can be heard in his songs. Romeo recently released 2 well-received instrumental projects: "Soulifa Magnus," "Moments in Time," and a debut EP, "Rhodes to Love" which is currently receiving a tremendous amount of buzz in the music industry and on the Internet.

When asked, how would he label his creative sound, Ross is quick to say, "I am not about placing labels on my style of music, per se.

Award-winning composer, Brian Field, releases musical tracks of hope and love

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Olim Music is proud to announce the release of two tracks by award-winning composer Brian Field: "From the Clash of Race and Creed" for orchestra, and "Senex Puerum Portabat" for choir, both released worldwide on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Music and all digital platforms on April 26, 2021.

The work "From the Clash of Race and Creed" was originally inspired by the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and derives its title from the couplet in the hymn "Not alone for mighty empire," by William Merrill in 1911 which reads: "God of justice, save the people / From the clash of race and creed." This orchestral work juxtaposes the sometimes troubling, and often complex, dissonant aspects of today's reality filled with conflict, worry and hatred with the hopeful and ideal world of salvation, freedom and universal brotherhood. The recording features the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra under the celebrated conductor, Mikel Toms.

The second track, "Senex Puerum Portabat," is a work for mixed choir. In this fusion of old and new musical traditions, Field pays homage to a cappella practices and text from centuries ago, combining these with more modern harmony. Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine, comments: "Contemporary interest in the Divine Feminine seems reflected in Brian Field's 'Senex puerum portabat,' a setting of an antiphon to the Magnificat at First Vespers for the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is also a tale of a mother's love, and that aspect is enshrined in Field's interior harmonies, with their delicious dissonances." The recording is performed by Cor Volante under the direction of Brett Scott.

Fast-Rising Musical Artist Ryan Hagan Unveils New Single – Don’t Let Me Stop

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Pop musical artist, Ryan Hagan, is a voice that's crashed into the music scene, and he's quickly turning heads. His first two singles charted on the radio within one year and he's just released his third, "Don't Let Me Stop." And, it's looking like it won't be his last.

Produced by Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer, Bryan Todd, and co-written by Hagan, "Don't Let Me Stop," speaks to people who have been burned in love and need to learn to trust again.

"It's my most authentic song yet," Hagan says.

Hagan and Todd's previous two collaborations, "You Deserve Better" and "Reset" charted on the radio in the U.K. on Music Week's Commercial Pop, Upfront Club and Black Music (formerly "Urban") charts. It went as high as number seven.

Hagan has not always been an aspiring singer/songwriter. His background is steeped in athletics and he's a five-time national wrestling champion. He was also a powerful football and track-and-field athlete during high school. He became a top recruit in his class with the certainty of enrolling in a Division 1 college, but some significant, damaging injuries twisted that path. Always having a passion for music, he decided to give it a serious shot.

So, how did Hagan get here? It all started when a friend connected him with Kim Wood Sandusky, former vocal coach for Beyonce and Destiny's Child.

"I got an audition with her and she asked me to sing something. After 15 seconds, she said, 'We're going to work together.' The rest is pretty much history," Hagan says.

The "Don't Let Me Stop" release timeline is:

April 8: "Don't Let Me Stop" Original

April 16: "Don't Let Me Stop" Remix by Jovan and Steve Smart

April 23: Music video release on VEVO and "Don't Let Me Stop" Remix by Moto Blanco

April 30: "Don't Let Me Stop" Remix by Corrigan

ABOUT RYAN HAGAN

Hagan is an American singer-songwriter named to the "Top 20 Artists of 2020" by "Music Observer," "Best Artist of 2020" by "Nashville Music Reviews" and "Top 20 People to Follow on Instagram" by "US Reporter." He's teetering on the edge of international esteem and planning a European tour, post-pandemic. He ultimately plans to expand his reach in the U.S. to become a critically-acclaimed musical artist.

Driving Rhythm and Soaring Lyricism Combine in Brian Field’s Fifth Album, STRING PLAY

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Olim Music is proud to announce that "STRING PLAY" by Brian Field, will be released worldwide on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Music and all digital platforms on April 15, 2021. The classical album highlights a diverse mix of contemporary works for strings ranging from solo violin, duos, quartets to works for string orchestra.

On this fifth album, Field explores a wide range of forms, moods and ensemble groupings, combining driving rhythmic impulses with hints of jazz and post-romantic sensibilities. Fanfare Magazine calls Field "a very fine composer...his music comes across as having a great deal of conviction."

The album opens with his Sonata for Violin and Piano, highlighting the skills of Diana Sargsyan, the concertmaster of the Kandinsky Symphony Orchestra, and transitions to his work for string orchestra performed by the Budapest Philharmonic, "Oliana's Dream of the Sea," which is based upon a short story by the American author William Lychack.

The album also highlights the jazz-inspired work for string orchestra "Four by Four," performed by the Lviv Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, filled with syncopated rhythms and memorable thematic material.

The collection concludes with Field's "String Quartet #1" in four movements, performed by the ÉxQuartet. Guy Rickards, Gramophone, says, "Listening to [Brian Field's] First Quartet makes me want to hear more. Its four very rhythmic movements are models of concision, real dialogues between the four musicians." The American Music Guide further notes that, "Field's Quartet #1 has a true gem of a second movement: here we get that delicious sense of longing, of needing, as the strings climb higher and higher on their fingerboards: almost like they're attempting to touch heaven."

Texas Country singer Taylor Dee dies after car crash – Dee, 33, considered to be a superstar in the making

EULESS, Texas -- Taylor Dee, a beloved Texas country-western singer considered by peers to be skyrocketing toward stardom, died Sunday night (3-14-2021) after she was injured in a Euless car accident, the Texas Newsroom announced this week.

She was 33.

Linda Wilson, president of the Texas Country Music Association, told the Texas Newsroom that news of Dee's death has shocked the music community.

"Taylor Dee was the real deal - a true talent with a heart and passion not only for her music but for people," Wilson said. "In every performance, her talent was evident, but more importantly she allowed her fans to know her heart. She will be missed tremendously."

Dee, born Taylor Dawn Carroll, leaves behind two young children: a son, Vayden, and a daughter, River.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help with funeral expenses. As of Wednesday, more than $10,000 of a needed $15,000 had already been collected.

The account is https://gofund.me/3bede58d.

Dee's dear friend and professional colleague Amy Johnson - https://www.facebook.com/johnsonamrj - is circulating funeral and memorial information.

The accident occurred when Dee was driving a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer eastbound on the State Highway 183 toll lane in Euless shortly before 10:30 p.m., according to authorities.

Dee attempted to take the exit to Highway 360, but is believed to have missed the turn by a split-second.

"She struck a barrier," Euless Police Chief Mike Brown told Ben Tinsley of the Texas Newsroom.

The car started to roll-hitting an overhead sign in the process-and Dee was ejected from the vehicle, said Euless Police Sgt. Scott Peterson.

She was not wearing a seat belt, he said.

A male passenger authorities declined to immediately identify was wearing a seat belt and remained in the Trailblazer until it stopped moving.

Other than a broken toe and being badly shaken up, the male passenger did not immediately appear to be seriously injured, Peterson said.

A family friend of Dee's said the passenger remained in the hospital under medical care for a time and was recently released.

The vehicle was extremely damaged from the impact, the sergeant said.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office is performing a toxicology screen to determine if alcohol played a part in the accident along west Airport Freeway in Euless.

It is possible that alcohol might have slowed Dee's reaction time, causing her to miss that turn, Euless Police told the Texas Newsroom.

But no conclusions can be drawn until the blood work is finished, Peterson said.

The case, meanwhile, remains under investigation.

The family friend said Dee and the passenger had been visiting a friend's house in Little Elm near Grapevine.

The family friend added Wednesday that Dee's clothes were in the process of being picked out for her viewing by those dearest to her.

Those who know Dee said she loved music and sang for most of her life. Her electrifying voice has long-drawn immediate comparisons to Janis Joplin.

Her first single, "The Buzz," dropped June 14, 2019 and has been playing across several Texas radio stations, according to a release.

Chad Roland, Dee's longtime friend, said his heart is heavy with grief and shock. He is a Nashville songwriter at Melody Roundup BMI and Rex Benson Music Los Angeles.

"I first met Taylor in October 2018 but it felt as if we knew each other many lifetimes," Roland said. "Since then we have played music, laughed, shared stories and a few secrets, wrote, cried, toured, prayed and fought. Needless to say we were close. We genuinely loved each other, and we hoped that love spilled into the music."

Roland said Taylor Dee was a complex human being full of hurt, love, loneliness and God-given talent "like no other person I've ever encountered before."

"Truly the music world has no idea what kind of loss they have suffered," Roland said.

Gary McGrath, producer for Taylor Dee & Shots Fired song, "Put a Bow On It," said Taylor's music will live on.

"Taylor was always trying to find the positive," McGrath said. "She was so proud of pushing herself past what she thought she could do and surprised herself at what she found she could do. She was always humbled by anyone who wanted to help her."

McGrath said Taylor Dee felt very blessed to have such support from people close and even strangers.

"She is now immortal!" McGrath said. "Recorded, filmed and photographed in ways that will continue to live on and show her passion, sense of humor, love for her friends and voice. For all who miss her all you have to do is listen to her music and she will be in your ears, heart and soul."

Jeffrey Christian, a seasoned Dallas-Fort Worth area musician, said Taylor Dee's musical versatility was well known. She was equally as home singing pop country ballads as she was growling out blues rock, he said.

"She was as good a singer as anyone I can think of with a wide range of vocal styles from sweet to gruff," Christian said.


Christian said Dee found universally enjoyable melodies in complex chord structures for the country and folk rock music genres for which she was known.

"I don't know how much she contributed to lyrics when writing the songs she sang, but they were almost always creative," he said.

Shane Danger, host of the Dallas-based Texas Newsroom talk show got to know Taylor Dee when she was a regular guest.

Dee was popular on the Texas Newsroom, which is broadcast on Power Play Radio in Dallas and televised over Facebook Live.

Danger - in his capacity as an industry professional, music producer, actor and singer - said he understands Dee's ambition for industry success.

However, Danger said, unlike many of her peers, Dee had something special inside that listeners could immediately recognize.

"I've never seen fans take to someone like they took to Taylor Dee," Danger said. "They gave her all their love because she gave it right back to them."

Off-camera, Danger said, Dee hinted-always with a wink-that she led a "vigorous" and "enthusiastic" life as a young person.

"I'd go as far as to say she considered herself to be 'wild' when she was younger," Danger said. "But she was really good people. The world's a darker place without her."

Karla Van Syckle, Dee's mother, made some brief posts about her daughter on social media but preferred not to immediately comment about her daughter's death.

"Thank you so much. I just can't deal right now," she said in a Facebook instant message.

Van Syckle's Facebook posts were equally quick and to the point.

"My baby girl just passed away," Van Syckle said in one of those FB posts. "Prayers needed."

A cursory view of Dee's background under her birth name of Taylor Dawn Carroll indicates she did have some alcohol-related run-ins with the Texas criminal justice system.

This could explain the comment Dee made in 2014 while posting a series of cover songs on YouTube under Taylor Dawn Carroll.

"Hey guys," Dee said. "Um, those of you that know me know that I've been through a lot and that I'm slowly picking up the pieces. "

Singing songs by Adele and Pistol Annies, Dee's voice in 2014 burst forth on YouTube as electric and riveting as ever.

"I'm going to sing a song," Dee said on the recording.

It's called 'One and Only' by Adele. It has really deep, deep, meaning to me. So I'm going to try and do it justice like she does. Bear with me and I hope you enjoy it."

During a Dec. 16, 2019, Facebook IM conversation, Dee spoke of the hardships of the music business, despite her usual Facebook posts seeming to give a much more optimistic impression.

"Facebook is but a highlight reel," Dee said, adding an "LOL" for emphasis.

But Dee said she planned to keep plugging ahead professionally, despite any roadblocks.

"I've got some stories you wouldn't believe," she said. "And I think my purpose is to tell them and help people."

Dee was told by many of her fans she was destined for greatness. But she scoffed at the suggestion.

She said she had experienced "crazy" situations her entire life and it was definitely making her wiser and more grounded.

"That's why IDK if I'm 'destined for greatness,'" Dee said in the IM message. "I feel I am, but maybe I'm cursed. Who knows?"

The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra releases ‘Bridge’ – the first of Three Unlikely Albums created during a Global Pandemic

SAVANNAH, Ga. -- A global pandemic may have cancelled all of the shows, but nothing could cancel The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra's creativity and desire to make music. With a newly unexpected empty calendar, The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra focused its attention on recording.

Jeremy Davis and Clay Johnson took their band to the NFS Ranch in Elkton, Florida, during Summer 2020 to record original songs and original arrangements of popular songs. They recorded 26 songs that are separated into three albums. The first album released this year is entitled "Bridge."

Most musicians and performers were caught off guard when their "well" went dry. Jeremy and Clay took the occasion to dig a new well. Exciting opportunities arose as the well began to take shape. From virtual shows in an empty theater to socially distanced neighborhood block parties, The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra has been able to work while many were forced to sit at home.

Perhaps the greatest opportunity to arise is the band's Hollywood debut. Four songs on the album are featured in the Universal Pictures movie Courting Mom & Dad, starring Scott Baio and Kristy Swanson, that was released in February. The film is directed by Anna Zielinski, a childhood friend of Jeremy and Clay.

"BRIDGE is an album that connects our band's history with its future; from the Great American Songbook to original tunes. I love this collection of new music and fresh arrangements!" said Tommy Brinson, musical director.

"Wow, what a band! These guys put on one amazing program!" said Brian Laczko, Executive Director, Carson Center, Paducah, KY.

"A real class act! Undoubtedly the best concert I've attended in years. I found myself totally caught up in the [sic] experience," said Tommy Usrey, CEO, Northeast Louisiana Arts Council

"Bridge" is now available for purchase as a CD at https://equinoxorchestra.com/ or on all streaming platforms.

Yes Legend Jon Anderson’s ‘Olias Of Sunhillow’ 2 Disc Remastered & Expanded Edition Now Available For Pre-order

ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Esoteric Recordings is proud to announce the release of a new expanded and remastered 2-disc edition of the classic debut solo album by YES vocalist JON ANDERSON, "Olias of Sunhillow." Released in July 1976, the album was a conceptual work recounting the story of an alien race on a journey to find a new world following volcanic destruction on their home planet.

All music on the album was written and performed by Jon Anderson and the recording took place at Anderson's Buckinghamshire home studio whilst Yes were on hiatus following the tour to promote the album "Relayer." Initially recorded on an 8-track tape machine, the arrangements were then re-recorded on to a 24-track tape machine. The album saw Jon perform the music entirely alone, teaching himself to play keyboards and acknowledging the influence of such legendary musicians as Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz and Vangelis on his work.

"Olias of Sunhillow" was released by Atlantic Records in the summer of 1976 in an elaborate gatefold sleeve designed by David Fairbrother-Roe and was a top ten album in the UK.

This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered from the original album master tapes and fully restores the stunning original artwork; and also features a booklet with a new essay and exclusive interview with Jon Anderson.

Over the ensuing years the excellence of the album has led to many calls for the album to be remixed in a 5.1 Surround Sound format. Alas, despite extensive research, the multi-track masters of the album cannot be found. However, this expanded edition of "Olias of Sunhillow" features a DVD featuring a high resolution 96 kHz / 24-bit re-master of the stereo mix and also includes a high resolution 5.1 Surround Sound up-mix derived from the original stereo master tapes as an additional feature.

"The more I realize that time flies when you're having fun...boy oh boy, the fun I'm having listening to my early solo work....

"OLIAS for me was like going to music school for Three Months solid without breathing...

"Totally captivated by making a true SOLO album...every sound, vocal, instrumental and whatever came from the cosmos is there on the album...a dream made reality...

"I never really listened to it all the way through after it was released, I must have listened to every sound a zillion times while mixing it...

"So, a month ago I listened to the whole album again...and felt such joy and gratefulness to have gone through that experience, and here I am so many years later going through a similar musical journey...

"Time flies by when you're having fun...

"cheers...love and 'light'...." Jon.

Ellen Alexander is Changing Perceptions Through Music

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Ellen Alexander, Russian-born fashion model, entrepreneur and singer, is releasing a new song "Good Girl Go."
What happens when you put together a multi-talented artist and a small but fabulous team of music professionals? Well, if you're really lucky, you can get a new song that will leave a mark on our collective mind (and soul). And this is exactly what Ellen Alexander's new song is. Call it a statement, a declaration. Call it special or unique. Call it "Good Girl Go."

What is special about Ellen is her training in the arts field. Ellen started her artistic education when she was five years old. Coming from a family of Russian scientists (her grandfather was a pioneer of the Russian space program), Ellen spent many hours, many weeks, months, and years training to become the multi-faceted artist she is today. Her voice speaks volumes about her music education, but also about that kind of personality that can't go unnoticed.

"Creating emotions comes easy to me - I find most things in life inspiring, inciting, and beautiful," says Ellen Alexander. "I try to add a special note, a personal touch to everything I do, including my music. And I'm trying to create music with a strong message, all wrapped in layers and layers of meaning, all strong and fierce. Vulnerable, but not weak.

"I'm working on multiple projects at the same time, and I guess this gives me a broader perspective. From my lifestyle site to my art's site and music, there's emotion and beauty everywhere."

Beatles Historical Artifact from The Ed Sullivan Show Hits the Music Collectibles Market

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Music collectors take note. Fifty-seven years ago, on February 9, 1964, The Beatles made history with their first live American television appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show." It had one of the largest viewing audiences ever, changed the course of music and influenced generations to follow. Today, Rockaway Records is proud to present a rare, one-of-a-kind artifact from that historic debut - a fully-signed piece of that stage's backdrop.

Each Beatle penned his autograph on the back of the wall, accompanied by a playful caricature that each drew next to their signature.

"We're thrilled to offer this museum-worthy piece of music history," Wayne Johnson, co-owner of Rockaway Records, says. "In over 40 years in business, this is the most exciting item to cross our path. Music was truly changed forever that day, making this one of the most important pieces of Rock and Roll history."

This 16-inch x 48-inch piece of that plastic wall has only had a few previous owners; its most recent one just consigned it with Rockaway Records. The wall segment is in very good condition, and is professionally mounted in a shadow box display. The signatures and drawings, originally done with black marking pen, have turned brownish over the years, but still maintain a distinctive color.

The wall segment comes with a Letter of Authenticity from Frank Caiazzo, the world's foremost Beatles signature expert, as well as letters of provenance from the original owners. It's offered for sale at $700,000. For more information: https://www.rockaway.com/beatles/1964-ed-sullivan-stage-wall-signed-by-the-beatles-20920 .

In addition to this amazing collectible, Rockaway Records also currently has more than $2 Million worth of Beatles and other music collectibles for sale, not auction. Among the many Beatles rarities are original 1960s promotional posters and store displays, as well as the famous Yesterday and Today "Butcher Cover" LP.
