Eric Church is back in the country top ten this week with “Hell on the Heart,” featuring a video that he describes as a “straight-up performance…rock ‘n roll video.” He says, “We had the plan for it to be three or four different scenes and some acting and some performance.” Once they started editing the clips, however, Eric and his crew decided to only use the performance part of the footage. “It just became the thing that had the most energy and the most connection,” Eric explains.

Jon Bon Jovi learned a little Farsi to duet with exiled Iranian singer Andy Madadian on a bilingual version of Stand By Me, offered in solidarity with the Iranian people. The song is free and for download only. You’ll find it here:

Many years ago I met a really nice guy named Rich Eckhardt. We hit it off and every since we’ve been the best of friends. He plays in a band (you may know)…called The Easy Money Band..yep…that’s Toby’s band. Well, Rich Eckhardt is Toby’s lead guitarist for the band and he has his second Cd out. I was really super surprised when Rich asked me to be on his CD, so without question I said “Sure!” and thanked him so much for asking me to be a part of his CD. I had the opportunity to listen to the final project and trust me, it’s incredible. His first CD is called “Soundcheck” which is amazing (my favorite tracks are numbers 3, 6 , 8 and 9) and his recent one that is JUST NOW ready is called “Cottage City Firehouse”. I’m on this CD..woo whooo..I’m actually on the CD..can you believe it? OMG…I’m on track number 9 (tequila).

On his website you can hear clips of his new CD as well as hear clips from his previous CD “Soundcheck”. If you go to his website at www.richeckhardt.com you’ll see it in there. I do not receive profits from this CD just so you know. I am just so happy he asked me to be part of it and I wanted to share it with you.

I found his comments on Facebook. This is what he wrote:

“Hey everyone. You may already know that I’ve been working on my new CD Cottage City Firehouse for the last 2 years. Well, it’s finally done and ready to go. You can go to my website at www.richeckhardt.com and order an advanced copy now.Also feel free to shop around in the store. I have Logo T- Shirts, Personalized Photos and a special 2/for offer if you buy my first disc Soundcheck and the new one Cottage City Firehouse together. I’m very excited about this CD and the music on it. Orders will go out ASAP. The official release date is May 12th. You’re sure to get it way before that! Thanks Rich”

If you DO go to his website, please tell him Nikki sent you.

Enjoy!

Until Next Time,

Much Love,
Nikki

The Name of our Birthday Bash is “Barefoot and Crazy” which happens to be our host’s title of his latest single:

Tomorrow is the day and we’re so excited to see you! Your Wolf turns two (14 in human lives) so you know we’re gonna have some fun. We are holding our 2nd Annual Birthday Bash at the Saddle Rack in Freemont and you’re invited. If you need directions to get there, just go to www.thesaddlerack.com. We’re so happy about this terrific day we’ve even invited a couple of our friends to join us. Although without you there wouldn’t be a party and your Wolf LOVES to have fun. Keep in mind, the only way to get into our exclusive party is to win. Make sure to listen to me (Nikki) to win to get your tickets to get in. Heck, even our hosts won to get in. Here’s the lineup we have to entertain you. We have YOU, (Yay!!), Trent Tomlinson and Jack Ingram.

Okay here’s a little bit about your performers for the night.

Trent Tomlinson. He has a new album coming in stores July 21, 2009 the Album is called “A Guy Like Me” with his current hit “A Guy Like Me” be sure to listen to the Wolf to be the 1st to win this album before it hits stores. Here’s a little more about Trent taken from his website at www.trenttomlinson.com

Singer/songwriter Trent Tomlinson is one of those rare performers whose music is as straight-ahead and unpretentious as he is. “My songs,” he says simply, “are real-life situations with kick-ass guitar.” “It’s ‘open a beer, sit in a lawn chair, let’s have a party’ country,” he says of his music. “At the same time, the songs are saying, ‘I have the ability to love you, to understand,’ and at the end of the day all that matters is Mama and Daddy and going to heaven. That pretty much sums everything up.”Trent honed his music to perfection in countless demo studios over the years. “I’ve had five publishing deals,” he says. “I’ve practically lived in the studio, creating and honing a sound of my own. And it turns out that five of the songs on the album record are actually my demos — Lyric Street loved them so much as is that we just went in and re-sang and tweaked a little, instead of re-recording.”

Trent from behind. Hmmm.

Next: On to Jack Ingram.

You’ve heard this guy on your Wolf. He’s the “Big Voice Guy” when he says “The bay area clock tower strikes (a certain hour). That’s Jack’s voice. Jack is probably one of the nicest artists I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. He performs so gracefully and never misses a beat. His voice is very commanding and he relates to the audience as though he knows each and every one of us. Here’s a little bit about Jack:

Taken from cmt.com: In 2006, Ingram released Live — Wherever You Are, an album he recorded at Gruene Hall, on Big Machine Records. The project included his first two new studio tracks since the Electric sessions. The album’s first single, “Wherever You Are,” reached No. 1 at country radio. Oh..did you know he also won an ACM? Yep! Check it out here: http://www.jackingram.net/default.htm.

Until Next Time,

Much Love,
Nikki

Last week, while I was on the air. I had a great idea…(well, I think it’s a great idea.  :)   ). I’m looking for local bands who want to showcase their music here on my blog. If you are a band from California and would like to be seen by a ton of people send me your information and if you have a video that would be great. You can send your submissions to me directly at  nikkilandry at 957thewolf.com. Please provide your name of the band, pictures if you have any, the name of your band members and also attach the song, in an mp3 format.

Who knows what will happen. Maybe a record rep could see your music on my blog…ya never know but it’s worth a shot, isn’t it?

Each week, we will have battle of the bands where listeners can vote daily and the band who gets the most votes on the website wins. I’m trying to find out if the winner can have their song played on the Wolf!! (I’m sure I can make this happen, I just need to talk to the boss!). So, go ahead submit your music, your video, your band information and let’s start debuting California’s most proud local bands!

It’s time for you to Rise and Shine and get Seen!

Until Next Time,

Much Love,

Nikki

PS. The Wolf is heard world wide at www.957thewolf.com

Jon Rich has a new song out called “Shuttin’ Detroit Down.”  It’s probably the most relevant song any artist (be it in the Country music format or a differing one) has put out in these difficult economic times.  If you haven’t listened to the song yet, give it three minutes of your time and you’ll understand!  It points out what we’ve all been thinking but puts it in a very artistic manner that simply blew me away!
