G. Love And Special Sauce To Release New Album, Love Saves The Day (Oct. 30th) | Lucinda Williams, Citizen Cope, David Hildago, & More Join G. Love And Special Sauce On Return To âTrashcan Bluesâ
G. Love and Special Sauce have announced the release date for Love Saves The Dayfrom Brushfire Records on October 30, 2015. The album returns to the classic âhip-hop bluesâ sound first pioneered by the trio in the early 90s and features a bevy of guest artists including Lucinda Williams, Citizen Cope, David Hildago of Los Lobos, Ozomatli, DJ Logic, Money Mark, Zach Gill and Adam Topol. Love Saves The Day features the down and dirty âtrashcan bluesâ sound of G. Love and his long-term Special Sauce rhythm section â upright bassist James âJimi Jazzâ Prescottand drummer Jeffrey âThe Housemanâ Clemens. Engineer and producer Robert Carranza (Jack Johnson, Beastie Boys, Mars Volta) recorded the group live with few edits to capture the raw and unfiltered electricity of the tracks. âThe music,â G. Love enthuses, âjumped off the tape.â For his 10th studio full-length, G. Love invited friends new and old to accompany him on creating a spirited groove-centric release. On the albumâs opening self-titled track, David Hidalgoâs wicked guitar licks offer a nod to the blues-inspired bands of the â60s and early â70s. Hidalgo also contributes to two other songs - the lyrically charged âThat Girlâ and sharp-tongued âDis Songâ. Celebrated singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams joins G. Love on the delightfully unruly rendition of the old Leadbelly tune âNew York City.â On the mesmerizing âMuse,â which arose from an all-night writing session with pal Citizen Cope, G. Loveâs sinewy slide guitar drives the tuneâs southern rock/hip-hop hybrid groove while Ozomatli contributes escalating brass embellishment. The L.A. group also lend energetic horn work to âLetâs Have A Good Time,â a super funky jam that could have easily been a lost James Brown gem. A self-described road dog, G. Love and Special Sauce are currently on tour throughout the fall (a full list of performances are below). Dates for a winter/spring 2016 tour in support of Love Saves The Day will be announced soon.

CAS HALEY TO RELEASE MORE MUSIC MORE FAMILY ON JIMMY BUFFETTâS MAILBOAT RECORDS ON NOVEMBER 6th, 2015
Roots-reggae artist Cas Haley is proud to announce the release of his new album More Music More Family on Mailboat Records on November 6th, 2015. The new album celebrates Casâ return to music after an injury-induced hiatus and explores the importance of family and positivity. Co-produced by Tubby Love and recorded in Kauai, Hawaii, More Music More Family is an entwinement of roots-reggae, soul, pop-rhythms, and a generous helping of Hawaiian tranquility.  Occasionally, blessings come disguised as roadblocks. While skiing last year, Cas suffered from a fall that hampered his ability sing. He endured over eight months of physical therapy treatments to regain the use of his voice. During this time, Haleyâs reflections on what the injury meant to the future of his career and family was channeled into an albumâs worth of material - the concept for More Music More Family was born.  Cas opens the album with a positive tone as he croons on the opening title track, âWith music as my ride/ And family by my side/ I finally understand/ Iâm just a family man.â The soul-tinged and syncopated âBefore Itâs Too Lateâ builds a platform from which Haleyâs reclaimed vocals soar. The track leads way to a gospel break down in the songâs last minute that raises the energy even higher with its celebratory stomps, claps and huge-hearted magnetism. On the blues-tinged and funky âI Got Youâ and the danceable, kinetic âSpirit Beingâ Cas addresses the universality of life lessons with uplifting melodies as well as his signature heartfelt vocal style. âBig Hope,â a track whose reggae-steeped intro gives way to energetic hip-hop beats, features Freewill (Luminaries) and Drew Misik (New Reb). Tropical grooves and dubbed out reverb lay a lighter foundation for heavier subject matter in âHold Up My Heartâ - âSometimes itâs hard to see/ The lesson in the suffering/ I pray for grace to guide me/ Hold up my heart, hold up my heart.â Conscious vibes singer-songwriter Trevor Hall lends vocal support in the track.  A presale for More Music More Family begins today on iTunes. Fans who preorder the album today will immediately receive a download of the title track.  Now recovered and back into making music, Haleyâs new approach to touring incorporates spending time with family even when on the road. A full list of dates for the More Music More Family tour is below.  For more information on Cas Haley, visit - http://www.cashaley.com/  For media information including hi-res images, visit - http://www.masonjarmedia.com/cas-haley  Cas Haley More Music More Family Tour 11/5/15 - Minneapolis, MN - Dakota Jazz Club 11/6/15 - Marshfield, WI - Vox Concert Series 11/8/15 - Madison, WI - High Noon Saloon 11/10/15 - Evanston, IL - SPACE 11/11/15 - Cleveland, OH - Beachland Tavern 11/12/15 - Ferndale, MI - The Magic Bag 11/13/15 - Columbus, OH - Rumba Cafe 11/14/15 - St. Louis, MO - The Firebird 12/2/15 - New Orleans, LA - Howlinâ Wolf 12/3/15 - Little Rock, AR - Stickyz Rock n Roll Chicken Shack 12/5/15 - Atlanta, GA - Vinyl At Center Stage 12/7/15 - Carrboro, NC- Catâs Cradle Back Room 12/8/15 - Vienna, VA - Jamminâ Java 12/10/15 - Philadelphia, PA - World Cafe Live 12/11/15 - New York, NY - Rockwood Music Hall 12/12/15 - Richmond, VA - The Canal Club 12/14/15 - Nashville, TN - City Winery 12/16/15 - Conroe, TX - Dosey Doe 12/17/15 - Dallas, TX - The Kessler 12/18/15 - San Antonio, TX - Samâs Burger Joint Music Hall 12/19/15 - Austin, TX - Stubbâs BBQ 1/14/15 - Kansas City, KS - Knuckleheads 1/15/15 - Denver, CO - Cervantes Other Side 1/16/15 - Salt Lake City, UT - Kilby Court 1/19/15 - Portland, OR - Doug Fir Lounge 1/22/15 - San Francisco, CA - Hotel Utah 1/23/15 - Los Angeles, CA - The Mint 1/26/15 - Phoenix, AZ - Valley Bar

Along with the standard options of pre-ordering the album on CD and vinyl, ALO are offering fans exclusive opportunities through Pledge Music to get up-close and personal with the band. Additional pre-order incentives include postcards from the road, signed set lists, official lyric sheets, an afternoon record shopping trip, and even the opportunity tohave a pre-show dinner with the band.
Tangle Of Time is a jubilant collection of songs that evoke the California cool of 70s Pop/Rock while embracing the in-the-moment improv that has propelled the band for almost two decades. Although there is a distinct songwriting voice that can be heard on each track, the bandâs collective efforts string the album into an unmistakably ALO offering. The first single, a Zach Gill (keys/vocals) led track entitled "The Ticket", offers up the one-two-punch of a synth-filled space-jam while his "There Was A Time" is an accordion driven tale of painting human history by firelight. Dan âLeboâ Lebowitz (guitar/vocals) also provides songs that counterpoint the album. âUndertowâ features swirling guitar solos that extend an open-invitation to live improvisation, while âPushâ is a jaunty yet thoughtful number with a playful guitar riff that's basically the musical equivalent of joy. Steve Adamsâ (bass/vocals) "Not Old yet" is a light-hearted romp about keeping a positive perspective on life's long road of hurdles and surprises, and finally, Dave Broganâs (drums/vocals) "Coast To Coast" (co-written with Ben Malan) offers a funky layer-upon-layer soundscape of esoteric textures telling the surreal tale of a band on the run.
To compliment their ever evolving fun-loving nature, ALO are expanding their live theatrical shenanigans for the albumâs fall tour. Along with confetti canons, 12-foot beach balls, and elaborate theme nights, the band has a few tricks in store for fans which may or may not involve a ukulele that shoots lasers. The Tangle Of Time tour kicks off at Brooklyn Bowl in New York and continues on through cities across the country including Washington DC, Chicago, Austin, New Orleans, Atlanta and Denver before coming to a close in Seattle, WA in December. The band welcomes Portland, ORâs Fruition and New Orleansâ Yojimbo on select dates.  For more information on ALO, visit at alomusic.com or on Facebook at facebook.com/animalliberationorchestra  Visit ALO's Pledge Music campaign at pledgemusic.com/alo
