Complex and brilliantly engineered, the latest album from rock veteran Wayne Olivieri titled “Eclectic Mind” has a unique musical profile. Its structure is reflective of its complex content, songs that delve deep into the psyche of human emotion, touching on everything from God, hard times, happiness, and other topics. Designed to evoke emotion, be it positive or negative, “Eclectic Mind” is an exercise in understanding what it is to truly feel.
New Jersey, USA - 2017 - Born and raised in New Jersey, Wayne Olivieri has always had an affinity for music. Like many great vocalists, he sang in his church choir, who performed every Sunday. Olivieri started his first band in the 8th grade. As a young talented vocalist and songwriter, by age 17, he played in an all original band which he started with high School pal Gar Francis Rockids (which he was the frontman). They performed alongside unsigned young acts such as Talking Heads, The Ramones, and Blondie to name a few. The Rockids became a regular name on the marques of some of the hottest New York clubs ranging from CBGB's, Max's Kansas City, The Village Gate and many more. The Rockids went on to become one of the top drawing bands in the N.Y/N.J/CT club/concert scene often opening for national acts such as Aerosmith, Roger Mcquin, Twisted Sister and other great bands. After a 5 year run with Rockids, Wayne moved to Asbury Park, NJ where he formed Oliver’s Twist with Rockid band mate Brian Hadley right as the scene was breaking with the sounds of Springsteen, South Side Johnny, and others. Oliver’s Twist became a force in the NJ Asbury Park scene playing regular shows at the Famous Stone Pony and The Fast Lane where they opened for many national acts such as Billy Idol. Huey Lewis , David Johnson, John Caferty, Cindy Lauper, J. Giels Band among other top groups. Oliver’s Twist had a fair amount of regional success as well as a number 4 radio charting hit in Belgium. They made radio appearances, including a trip to London with The Howard Stern Show where Olivieri got to sit in with Howard for a week. It was also in Asbury Park where Wayne met and became fast friends with a young, unsigned singer John Bongiovi. John was a fan of The Rockids and Oliver’s Twist and the two remained tight friends. Olivieri played a friendly role as John’s confidant and adviser as well. Olivieri appeared on stage with John, known by fans as Jon, many times. He also appeared on stage with other rock and roll legends during that time, including Bruce Springsteen. After Oliver's Twist had it’s run, Olivieri attempted to reunite with Rockids co-founder Gar Francis and formed Oliver Wild and quickly got signed to Management by Premier Artist Services (Frank Sinatra and Liza Mimnelli, Joe Bonnamassa). However, over time when nothing significant materialized from that venture, Olivieri took a hiatus to get married, and raise his daughter. With his daughter currently in college, and his marriage ending in divorce, he has returned to writing and performing. With his new album, Olivieri has brought the energy, creativity, and most importantly, the material needed to craft his inspirational and heartwarming “Eclectic Mind”. This could be described as an album that feels like a songwriter had their entire life to craft it. This is by far Olivieri's strongest presentation to date, and brilliantly marks his evolution as a songwriter and individual. Each song is crafted with care, and every line written with the intent of relating to the listener on a personal level. The music's rich sound is reminiscent of classic blues and rock, and its complex sound highlights the rigors that every human deals with at some point during their existence. A fully-fleshed 13-track LP, “Eclectic Mind” with track names ranging from “I'm Broke Again” to “I'm in Love Again”, and even one titled “Mom”, gives the listener an idea of what it means to relate to the songwriter. Olivieri seems to bring a rich inner life and the ability to craft positive vibes, even during the dark times which is rare in today’s music industry. Reminiscent of all of the greats from the 70's and 80's and chock full of inspiration, “Eclectic Mind” is the must have for anybody that has ever felt deeply, and appreciates the organic nature of pure rock music.

Charming Liars successfully put a modern alternative twist on the iconic classic, delivering some intricate hooks and melodies to the defiance and insecurity of the song. They'll also be donating half of the proceeds from the song to MusiCares®, a charity of The Recording Academy®dedicated to providing a wide range of health and human services programs including emergency financial assistance, addiction recovery resources, and wellness initiatives to members of the music community. This partnership is especially meaningful, since Elton John was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year in 2000, at its signature fundraising gala held during GRAMMY® Week two nights prior to Annual GRAMMY Awards®. “I grew up on Elton John and he has a million great songs, so to pick one was difficult,” said Charming Liars vocalist Kiliyan Maguire. “But we knew we wanted to cover something different, one that not many people had covered. The lyrics spoke to us, as everyone’s been through something and so have we. To find a song that was so upbeat and powerful and just strip it down to really give it a bone-chilling feel when you listen to it. It’s a great song to let people know we’re here and ready to do some work”. The band spent the majority of 2016 on the road in support of their recent release, “12:31 AM” EP, which featured their breakthrough single “Soul” featured on TV Lands hit show “Younger” as well as 2017 Weinstein & Co release “Hampstead”. The effort earned them praise from fans and press coverage from the likes of Substream Magazine, AXS, National Rock Review and Rolling Stone in both Mexico and Columbia, who proclaimed the band as "ambitious rock & roll." Established in 1989 by The Recording Academy, MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. MusiCares' services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical, and personal emergencies, and each case is treated with integrity and confidentiality. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community.

A lot has happened to Kate since the release of Made Of Bricks back in 2007. There have been failed relationships, record label fall-outs, punk record releases and a relocation to the other side of the world. Despite all this the singer-songwriter and activist retains her heroic spirit, possessed of an impervious rebellion and a lightness of being that makes her ‘give-a-fuck’ honesty contagious. Everything is coming full circle. In other news, Kate Nash has been confirmed to play Rhonda is the upcoming Netflix Original series “G.L.O.W.” Produced by award winning Jenji Kohan (Weeds, Orange is the new Black), “G.L.O.W” (aka Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) was created by Liz Flahive (Homeland) and Carly Mensch (Orange Is The New Black) and is a 10-episode comedy inspired by the real story of the 1980s female wrestling league.

The effort is available now on all major digital music streaming and download platforms. Hailing from Denver, TheVoice has previously had parallels drawn between her music and the likes of Bahamadia, Lauryn Hill, and Nina Simone. Her voice is the most vital element of her artistry, hence her moniker, and her songwriting style incorporates rap, spoken word, and soulful singing into a beautifully constructed sonic tapestry quite unlike anything else in the independent music community today. “Hip hop is truth expressed… through the struggle,” TheVoice mused about her artistry. “Whether you express that truth through lyrics, dance, music, graffiti, language, literature, truth being: who you are, where you come from, what you believe, what you stand for, and what you can give back to the struggle.” “It’s a superb indie hip hop record with a fantastic message that’s remarkably well performed and produced,” Independent Spotlight critic Brett David Stewart raved about ‘WorldWide.’ The EP became available on all major music platforms March 10 and fans can connect with TheVoice on her official website and social networking below. |
