“HANDS UP, DON’T SHOOT!” BY NASA FT SEAN PAUL AND LIZZO VIDEO
Check out the new video from N.A.S.A. for his inspired track “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!” feat Sean Paul and Lizzo. The song is available now, and all proceeds go to the below charities. Of the video Sam Spiegel of N.A.S.A. states:
“After seeing all of this craziness going down with police brutality over the last year, i felt like i had to do a song about it. I know it’s a complex problem. Policemen have one of the hardest jobs in the world, but there is a real endemic issue here around abuse of power and lack of consequence for wrongdoing. One positive thing that’s come out of all of this, and something that’s inspired me quite a bit, has been seeing young people rise up and let their voices be heard. As a child of a generation that was largely apathetic, it’s been beautiful seeing people feeling empowered, speaking out, and trying to bring about change. As a culture of young people around the globe, i feel like we are more mobilized and politically empowered than i ever remember.”

FOLK FAMILY REVIVAL ALBUM OUT NOW
Magnolia, TX-based Americana quartet Folk Family Revival is set to release its sophomore album, Water Walker, on April 7, 2015, via Nashville label Rock Ridge Music (with distribution through ADA). Armed with a sound that mixes the rootsy stomp of the Southern states with the trippy swoon of the West Coast, Folk Family Revival make music for rock clubs and rodeos, dive bars and honky-tonks, or campfires and cantinas. A throwback to a time when Southern rock and psychedelic music dominated the airwaves, they may be best described as a psychedelic folk-country rock and roll band.
Starting in February, in support of the new album’s first single, “If It Don’t Kill You,” Folk Family Revival will be conducting a two-and-a-half month radio tour visiting stations across the Southwest. The band will also be touring and playing concert venues extensively in the Southwest this spring to promote the new album. Tour dates will be forthcoming as they are confirmed.

LAWSON ROLLINS MUSIC IN BARNES & NOBLES
The guitar-guided world music excursions that you hear this month in Barnes & Noble stores throughout the United States come from the recently released “Traveler,” the critically-hailed fifth album from globetrotting guitarist Lawson Rollins. Debuting upon release in the Top 20 of the iTunes world music chart, the disc produced by Rollins and platinum-selling producer-engineer Dominic Camardella consists of a dozen meticulously performed, multicultural amalgams composed by Rollins inspired by his wanderlust for global gallivanting. The session’s second single, “Berlin Bossa,” dances onto Billboard’s most added chart this week, its first official week at radio.
“Traveler” plays like leafing through Rollins’s personal journal entries penned during his travels through Spain (“Barcelona Express” and “Meeting in Madrid”), France (“Café Paris”), Germany (“Berlin Bossa”) and the United Kingdom (“Across the Moors”) leading to his stateside return (“Journey Home”) where he discovers the mystique of Louisiana (“Beyond the Bayou”) before embarking west to settle in California (“Marching West”). The record concludes with an elaborate triptych, “The Urban Trilogy,” comprised of a sprawling fusion of cosmopolitan nuances (“Metropolis”), remnants of the Old World (“Ancient City”) and an exhilarating glimpse into the future (“City Electric”). The high-caliber musicians who joined Rollins in getting their passports stamped during the “Traveler” sessions include Grammy-winning violinists Mads Tolling and Charlie Bisharat, Randy Tico (bass), Dave Bryant (drums & percussion) and Cameron Stone (cello). On select tracks they were joined by a horn section along with contributions from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy members Scotty Morris, Joshua Levy and Karl Hunter.
