SUMMARY:Colter Wall - Memories and Empties
DESCRIPTION:Colter Wall\, the no-nonsense rancher who hangs his hat in southwestern Saskatchewan\, is back with Memories and Empties\, his fifth studio album. \n“I wanted to make a straight ahead country album\,” Wall says. His brand-new LP is sure to evoke the two-stepping\, toe-tapping memories of Merle Haggard and The Strangers and their contemporaries. \nMemories and Empties — via La Honda Records and RCA Records — was recorded at the venerable RCA Studio A with Wall’s long-time co-producer\, Patrick Lyons. Wall wrote nine of the songs on the record\, with a cover of Ian Tyson’s “Summer Wages” rounding out the project. Guests Noeline Hofmann and Nikki Lane add their voices to the project with harmonies that complement Wall’s timeless baritone. Throughout the record\, his vocals interplay with a swinging pedal steel and classic-country bass notes as he sings relational stories which play out in rural communities. “This record is really about relationships\, I guess\,” Wall surmises. \nIn support of the record\, Wall is touring western Canada\, Texas and the Southwest\, with highlight shows during National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas\, NV\, Austin’s iconic ACL Live at Moody Theater\, and the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth’s historic Stockyards.

SUMMARY:Chicago LIVE in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as one of the “most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era\,” the legendary rock and roll band with horns\, Chicago\, came in as the highest-charting American band in Billboard magazine’s Top 125 Artists of All Time. Chicago is the first American rock band to chart top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. \nChicago’s debut album Chicago Transit Authority was inducted into The National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2025. The Registry archives audio treasures worthy of preservation for all time based on their cultural\, historical or aesthetic importance in the nation’s recorded sound heritage. \nIn celebration of the 50th anniversary of Chicago IX: Chicago’s Greatest Hits\, the band released Chicago IX: Greatest Hits Expanded\, in August 2025. \nIn 2024\, Chicago released Chicago at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts\, Washington\, D.C. (9/16/1971)\, a 26-track live collection recorded at the historic venue. The show covers all three studio albums from their 1969 debut to 1971 and more than two hours of live music by Robert Lamm (keyboard\, vocals)\, Terry Kath (guitar\, vocals)\, Peter Cetera (vocals\, bass)\, Danny Seraphine (drums)\, Lee Loughnane (trumpet\, vocals)\, James Pankow (trombone)\, and Walt Parazaider (woodwinds\, vocals). \nChicago released Chicago Greatest Christmas Hits\, a new collection combining songs from all three of its beloved Christmas albums\, in 2023 via Warner Music Group/Rhino. \nChicago released their 38th studio album\, Born for This Moment\, in 2022\, which included the hit single “If This Is Goodbye.” \nIn fall of 2022\, Gravitas Ventures released Chicago’s documentary The Last Band on Stage directed by Peter Curtis Pardini and narrated by the band’s longtime friend and actor Joe Mantegna. On March 14\, 2020\, Chicago is the last band playing in the U.S. as COVID lockdowns begin and The Last Band on Stage tells the incredible story of how the 58-year-old band survived a pandemic that stopped the world in its tracks. \n“We’re excited to be bringing The Last Band on Stage to audiences worldwide. This funny and informative documentary offers an inside look at how the legendary band Chicago were able to produce content even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic\,” said Gravitas Ventures’ acquisition coordinator\, Mackenzie Maguire. \nChicago received The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys. The Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates performers who have made outstanding contributions of artistic significance to the field of recording. A special award ceremony and tribute concert celebrating the honorees was held in 2020. \nChicago was inducted into the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This was their first nomination. They’ve been eligible since 1994. A long time coming! \nChicago’s first album\, Chicago Transit Authority\, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2014. Chicago managed to fuse pop\, rock and jazz together perfectly in this double album. \nRobert Lamm and James Pankow have become inductees of the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2017. These legendary songwriters wrote mega-hits such as “25 or 6 to 4\,” “Saturday in the Park\,” “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day\,” “Make Me Smile\,” and many others. \nThe International Trombone Association presented its 2020 Lifetime Achievement Award to James Pankow. The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes people who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to the trombone profession over a long career. \nChicago’s lifetime achievements include two Grammy Awards\, two American Music Awards\, Founding Artists of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts\, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame\, a Chicago street dedicated in their honor\, and keys to and proclamations from an impressive list of U.S. cities. Record sales top the 100\,000\,000 mark\, and include 21 top 10 singles\, five consecutive No. 1 albums\, 11 No. 1 singles and five gold singles. An incredible 25 of their 38 albums have been certified platinum\, and the band has a total of 48 gold and platinum awards. \nChicago have toured every year since the beginning — they’ve never missed a year. The original three band members are Lee Loughnane on trumpet and vocals\, Robert Lamm on keyboards and vocals\, and James Pankow on trombone. The band lineup also includes Wally Reyes Jr. on drums\, Tony Obrohta on guitar\, Loren Gold on keyboards and vocals\, Ray Herrmann on sax and flute\, Neil Donell on vocals\, Eric Baines on bass\, Ramon “Ray” Yslas on percussion\, Carlos Murguia on keyboards and vocals and Nick Lane on trombone. \nFrom the signature sound of the Chicago horns\, their iconic vocalists\, and a few dozen of ever-classic songs\, this band’s concerts are celebrations. 2025 marks the band’s 58th consecutive year of touring! \nChicago continue to be true ambassadors for their beloved hometown\, carrying the city’s name with pride and dignity around the world.
