“I chose to survive,” Melissa Etheridge sings on “Being Alive,” the powerful, exuberant opening song of the Academy Award and Grammy Award winning artist’s 17th studio album, Rise. She then takes a pause, the flurry of her guitar and her bandmates’ boisterous sounds fading out, before she practically shouts, with unbridled joy: “God I love being alive! “The words say so much. But in that pause — just a few seconds long — it’s as if she’s looking at everything that has happened in her life in the time since she last released an album of new material, 2019’s The Medicine Show, and with it everything that is to come on this remarkable, emotional mosaic of songs. And it’s a lot. Co-produced by Etheridge and Shooter Jennings (whose production credits include Brandi Carlisle, Tanya Tucker, Charlie Crockett and, of course, his father Waylon Jennings) and featuring her sharp band of guitarist and keyboard player Max Hart, drummer Eric Gardner and bassist Erik Kertes, Rise soars as an intimate and richly realized collection. At turns it’s celebratory and playful, as in the explosive “Don’t You Want a Woman” (picked as the official rally song of the Kansas City Current professional women’s soccer team) and “Tomboy” (reclaiming the term as a badge of pride), both punctuated by Etheridge’s hearty laugh. There’s “Matches,” a frisky ode to the guitars that sparked her musical passion as a kid, steeped in the spirit of childhood hero Johnny Cash. There’s the lusty honky-tonker “Davina,” its singalong chorus sounding as if it could have been recorded in a raucous saloon. And there’s “If You Ever Leave Me,” which starts with Etheridge cruising down Melrose in the ’80s after first arriving in L.A., but goes on to glory in her marriage with Linda Wallem. “If you ever leave me, I’m coming too,” she sings, with another burst of laughter. At others it’s contemplative, most profoundly and movingly in “Call You,” her deeply affecting account of living in the wake of the opioid death of her son, Beckett, in 2021. In it she looks deep in her soul and cherishes the strengthening embrace of family, friends and community. This also filters through “The Other Side of Blue,” a light-in-the darkness anthem co-written and co-sung with Chris Stapleton. And at the end of the album she shines in the warmth of “More Love,” written for and sung at her daughter Bailey’s wedding last fall. Ultimately, it’s an album of acceptance and resilience.

JOIN THE HEGG BROTHERS & FRIENDS FOR A NIGHT OF GREAT MUSIC

For over five decades, Blue Oyster Cult has been thrilling fans of intelligent hard rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. Indeed, the Long Island, NY–based band is revered within the hard rock and heavy metal scene for its pioneering work. Blue Oyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because it’s one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success. The band is often cited as a major influence by other acts such as Metallica, and BÖC was listed in VH1’s countdown of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.

Upon the release of BÖC’s self-‐titled debut album in 1972, the band was praised for its catchy-‐yet-‐heavy music and lyrics that could be provocative, terrifying, funny or ambiguous, often all in the same song. BÖC’s canon includes three stone-‐cold classic songs that will waft through the cosmos long after the sun has burned out: The truly haunting “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” from 1976’s Agents of Fortune, the pummeling “Godzilla” from 1977’s Spectres and the hypnotically melodic “Burnin’ for You” from1981’s Fire of Unknown Origin. Other notable BÖC songs include “Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll,” “Then Came the Last Days of May,” “I Love the Night,” “In Thee,””Veteran of the Psychic Wars,” “Dominance and Submission,” “Astronomy,” “Black Blade” and “Shooting Shark.”

If ever the term “music business royalty” applies, it is custom made for WILSON PHILLIPS. Literally born into the music business, Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips were born with vocal harmonies in their DNA. Carnie and Wendy are the daughters of Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson, and Chynna is the daughter of the equally notorious Michelle and John Phillips of the famed Mamas and Papas.

Friends since birth, Carnie and Chynna knew each other even before Wendy was born. Best friends growing up, the three of them would often share their love for music and specifically for vocal harmonies. In 1989 they were signed to SBK Records, and their debut album was released in 1990.

Their debut album had three number one singles HOLD ON, RELEASE ME, and IMPULSIVE. And it sold five million copies in the US alone. Their debut album was nominated for four Grammy awards. Their follow up album, released in 1992, had their fourth number one single YOU’RE IN LOVE. They have sold over ten million albums worldwide over their storied career becoming one of the best-selling female groups in recorded music history.
