– founding member of the seminal rock band Television – presents his new album
The Countdown on CD
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!
On November 2, Richard Lloyd – founding member of the seminal rock band Television – presents his new album The Countdown on CD and digital via Plowboy Records, with vinyl available in 2019.
A pivotal fixture of the 1970s New York rock scene, Television’s improvisational, intelligent brand of avant-garde punk earned their reputation as a landmark act of the historic CBGB’s landscape, as well as an influence for generations of punk and alternative bands. Lloyd’s technical guitar proficiency was a key component to the band’s unique sound, which established their debut Marquee Moon (1977) as one of the defining albums of the era. After the band disbanded, Lloyd would go on to lend his signature guitar licks to Matthew Sweet and John Doe, as well as releasing several critically-acclaimed solo albums. Additionally, his recent memoir Everything Is Combustible: Television, CBGB’s and Five Decades of Rock and Roll was published in November 2017 with a second edition being released in paperback on November 2.
On The Countdown, Richard Lloyd creates an honest, natural expression with his stylized guitar sound and swagger. “I can only be me,” he says. “I can't turn into somebody else. So, every record I make is just a progression. I never felt the angst necessary to be a punk. I was too young to be a beatnik and too old to be a hippy. I like to say I’m an anthropologist from another planet who is observing human nature and expressing my observations through rock’n’roll.”
Taking a specific approach on the record, Lloyd’s process was to blend and balance the raw, live energy of in-studio performance with the benefit of technical refinements and additions behind-the-board. “You don't want to overcook the pasta,” he adds. “I never want a Chef Boyardee record. I like mistakes and rough edges. It's all very organic.”
Renowned Nashville session players Dave Roe (bass) and Steve Ebe (drums) served as a solid rhythmic backbone in the studio, cutting the basic 11 tracks in two days, while keys by Joe Bidewell (who played with Lloyd in his band in 1980) were eventually added to the mix. The result is a real rocker’s record, with Lloyd allowing his trademark fusion of garage rock, thoughtful soul, and power pop hooks to marinate from opening cut “Wind In The Rain” to the soaring heights of the closing title track “The Countdown,” in which he posits blasting off into space as he’s “had enough of planet Earth,” while his guitar and keys propel the listener with him into the stratosphere.
Adorned with his own personal paintings as the foundation for the front and back covers of the CD and vinyl, The Countdown continues the legacy of one of rock’s enduring pioneers.

JOSEPH PECK
Joseph Peck is a professional steel drum musician with a degree in music education and a focus on world music. He has a unique set of skills, and a drive to inspire young, creative minds.
Joseph received his Bachelor’s degree in Music Education from Wichita State University. He performed with Potential Symphony, an award-winning steel band in Trinidad, for the Panorama National Steel Band Competition. He was a founding member of Babylon Saints – a venerable LA-based pop/rock/reggae band, and has performed and recorded throughout the US in genres such ash reggae, acoustic rock, jazz, and fusion.
His career has taken him around the world, working with Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland, Cyndi Lauper, and Ryan Gosling, among others. His work has aired on VH1, CBS, and NBC, including Parks and Recreation. He was also a contributor in Teaching in the Diverse Classroom: Learner-Centered Activities that Work, a book for educators by Tanya Huber-Bowen.
Joseph’s current project – The Joseph Peck Group – is a Caribbean Jazz ensemble that explores traditional rhythms commingled with contemporary interpretations. His latest album as a solo artist is a relaxing and transcendental journey called Free-Flow Steel Pan Meditation.
While directing the Steel Pan Orchestra at Wichita State University, he founded the Adopt-a-Drum Program. Today, with a State of California Music Education K-12 Credential, he is a program facilitator at the Drumming for Your Life Institute, and a teaching artist at The Music Center and the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center K-12 Arts Education Outreach Program.
Twenty years of experience as a steelpan percussionist and music educator have informed his development of the Joseph Peck World Music Program – an innovative, performance-based class which exposes students to the important cultural and historical contributions of music. Students learn the
building blocks of music (melody, harmony, and rhythm) in a supportive,
creative, and interactive environment using percussion instruments such as steel drums (pans), hand drums, shakers, cowbells, and tamboo-bamboo. Students go on to read, write, practice, play, and perform music from around the world, both on an individual level, as well as with an ensemble.
His Caribbean Drum Circle Program is a music enrichment program that he conducts at Libraries and in schools, teaching students to build community and relate with one another in a drum circle format.
In both of Joseph’s programs, students discover the connection between music and math, science, the language arts, and the natural world. Each program culminates in a concert performance.

"Is it possible to walk with one foot in the “seen” and the other in the “unseen”? I sure hope so, because I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m doing! I like to think of myself as an “ordinary” woman, living an extraordinary life."
As the character “Kerry”; I am a mother of three, a wife of one, a seeker of truth, and a lover of things seen and unseen. I am the writer, director, and star of my very own movie. (It’s fun to think that somewhere in the multiverse, there are beings eating their versions of popcorn, watching movies starring us!)
I have been trying to fit the puzzle pieces together since I was a young child; this is a trait that has fueled my curiosity in ways I couldn’t begin to imagine! A few years ago I began asking questions that appeared to infuriate folks. It seemed the more I asked, the more divided people became. Was it me or the times we’re living in? I began seeing agendas everywhere I turned, and they weren’t benevolent. It became clear that there was an underbelly to this world we live in....
One particularly grand “a-ha” moment was born from the realization that the information we are constantly bombarded with sits in my very own living room: my TV! At the risk of sounding paranoid, I couldn't help but feel that most of the underlying messages were those of fear! How does one NOT subconsciously tune their frequency to the fear channel? For me, my fear-frequency tuned to the cancer station. According to our media, it was just a matter of time before it was my turn in the oncologists chair. Oddly (a-hem) enough, I did in fact get cancer.
I’m happy to report that this little blip was just the wake up call I needed to get me steered in the right direction! This served as the opening to the communication with my guides or “team” as I like to call them. Once this happened, there was no looking back. My world opened up in ways I could never have begun to imagine! It was as if I’d hung the “open for business” sign in the window!
Interestingly, the spiritual components to my life were there all along, I just didn’t recognize them. For example, I’ve seen spirits my entire life... I’ve channeled my entire life.... I’ve seen timelines and dimensions my entire life. I just didn’t know what I was seeing. It took three encounters with recently crossed spirits, a moment with James Van Praagh, and a wild message (from Spirit) in my kitchen cabinet, for me to “get it”.
Now that I “have it”... what do I “do” with it?
For starters, I have an online show Alice Eats the Apple The show was created with the intent of ‘normalizing” the metaphysical. I love to joke (not really, it happens more times than you’d think!) that we may be sitting in our mom-cars, waiting in the carpool line, working on our astral traveling skills! I'm also just beginning my blog.
I am a mother. I am a wife. I am a room-mom. I am a coach. I am an energetic frequency holder. I am a grid anchor. I am a soul path recalibrator. I am an infinite being. I am here to remind you that you are, too.

Having a disability myself I completely understand the challenges a disabled person faces on a day to day basis, but that doesn't mean that I only train people with disabilities, far from it, James Roberts Fitness is a fitness solution for EVERYBODY. I was born with a congenital disability called femoral dysplasia and a floating hip of the left leg as well as scoliosis of the spine. I grew on a NATO base in S.H.A.P.E (Casteau), Belgium but now reside back in Prestatyn, North Wales. I'm an online training and nutrition coach by trade, but I was an elite Paralympic athlete for just over a decade. I've been lucky enough over those years to have represented Great Britain at countless World Championships and 2 Paralympics Games (Beijing 2008 and London 2012) to just name a few.

PROGRESSIVE ROCK QUEEN
ENCHANTING SONGSTRESS
with RENAISSANCE
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Renaissance has had a long history spanning close to 50 years since its formation in 1969. With several personnel changes in the beginning years, the sound of the group eventually matured into a unique blending of folk, rock, and classical music including the integration of a full symphonic orchestra. Crowning all of this was the sound of the equally unique five-octave voice of Annie Haslam. During their great success in the 70’s the band toured extensively throughout the world in support of their numerous album releases. Highlights of this era included three sold out concerts at Carnegie Hall with The New York Philharmonic Orchestra and a sold-out concert at The Royal Albert Hall with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Chorale Society, all of which were recorded and released as ‘Live’ albums.
The woman whose crystal clear, high-flying soprano vocals earned her worldwide attention as the lead singer of the English classical rock band ‘Renaissance’ has recently achieved an entirely new level of appreciation as an ‘Intuitive’ painter. Annie is able to ‘tune’ into people, animals, situations, feelings and places, and portray them in her own unique style.
On canvas, Annie Haslam’s unmistakable world of sound is taken into unique vistas of color and vibration, not unlike the flow of her five-octave voice. Transporting the viewer to other worlds and through inner boundaries is her ultimate goal, bringing healing, serenity and peace through her work.
…….Nicholas J. Sands, director of Sands & Company Fine Art in New York City, heralded Annie’s paintings as “magical, enigmatic and wondrous for their ability to take us to a far-away place… of fluid forms that are at once alien and familiar, primordial yet recognizable, which dance in an endless array of colors that are as rich and intense as molten lava.”
In 2009 Annie and bandmate Michael Dunford reformed ‘Renaissance’.
Sadly Michael passed away in November 2012, and is greatly missed.
Annie decided to keep the music alive and kept touring with Renaissance in support of their album 'Symphony of Light'.
With their musical virtuosity, five strong lead voices, newest technological instrumentation and love for the music, they have created a new sound taking them into a new age and performing the repertoire with powerful precision across the world. This incarnation of Renaissance is new and different and is nothing short of amazing!
Annie Haslam & Renaissance recently released their new DVD entitled ‘A Symphonic Journey’ and are currently embarked on their Day of the Dreamer Tour –in support of their new DVD while performing selected US dates this Fall.
Purchase the brand-new DVD from Renaissance entitled
‘A Symphonic Journey’ at amazon.com
The DVD was filmed in October of 2017 and included for the first time the addition of The Renaissance Chamber Orchestra, a hand-picked group of 10 musicians, including strings, woodwind, brass and percussion. For this new DVD the band returned to the Keswick Theatre, this time employing the use of track and boom mounted cameras to create more up close and personal shots of the band and orchestra. The concert also featured large screen projections of original paintings by Annie Haslam, with corresponding titles to each song performed throughout the concert.
The DVD/2CD set will be available from Amazon USA, Europe, and Japan. Also, ‘Annie Haslam’ signed copies will be available through the band’s website
