Zach Bryan is using his platform to give back to teachers in his home state. The country music superstar from Oologah, Oklahoma is currently touring the country on his With Heaven On Tour. After setting out on the world tour in March, he’s now approaching a pair of “hometown” shows in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thousands will pour in to see the pride of Oklahoma perform at H.A. Chapman Stadium for back-to-back nights… and a good portion of the audience will be made up of teachers from the area. Bryan teamed up with the SONIC Foundation (yes, the drive in place that specializes in burgers and drinks) to surprise teachers with free tickets. More than 5,000 tickets were handed out to educators in Tulsa and Oklahoma City (among other surrounding communities) through the Limeades for Learning initiative. For the uninitiated, that’s SONIC’s special program that sets out to support public schools. Since 2009, they’ve donated more than $32 million to school and teachers. And now, they can boast that they’ve also handed out over 5,000 Zach Bryan tickets. Obviously, Zach Bryan has a way of getting himself into headlines for not-so-flattering reasons. But at the end of the day, he always does what he can to give back to charitable causes. The “Pink Skies” singer has famously given back to military personal on multiple occasions, and often likes to donate and/or put on shows for NFL star Christian McCaffrey’s 22 and Troops foundation. The two shows that Bryan and the SONIC Foundation handed out tickets to were actually dates that were added on to the With Heaven On Tour about a week or so after the tour was announced: View this post on Instagram All in all, a class act from the country music superstar to take care of the teachers in the community that means so much to him. They’ll get to go to the shows on April 3 and 4… and it wouldn’t be surprising if the singer pairs up with the SONIC Foundation down the road to hand out even more tickets to educators.

With talk of Energy Lockdowns taking place worldwide and being implemented in many places, the war economy will be one of technocratic rations and digital IDs just as the WEF has pushed for years, both from the side of the climate agenda as well as via war.Emergency orders under the guise of a major emergency was always the way to bring upon technocracy. Regardless of a health emergency, currency collapse, civil unrest, shortages or war in general. All part of the same puzzle.Australia is facing rations currently and the UK faces incoming rations and restrictions.Gulf states are talking about a new pipeline system to avoid the Strait of Hormuz, yet this is an admission that this conflict will take years, not weeks as such a pipeline system would take years just to construct.BlackRock's Larry Fink claims $150 oil would mean a global recession. While that is already the case anyways, this is further admission that this isn't going away anytime soon.There is a major shift from the west to the east both via the collapse of dollar dominance, oil and of course the Iran War being the cherry on the cake.If people aren't yet prepared, they will be forced into the new ration based economy.Is a war economy "winning?"

There’s big personality packed into these tiny American towns with pint-sized populations.

The original Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel will celebrate his 80th birthday next February 13th and he just released "Till Your Mind is Shining", the third single of his new album “O\I” (2026), which is the follow up to “I/O” (2023). . Like he did in the previous album, the new singles are being released every full moon. Hear the new Peter Gabriel song "Till Your Mind is Shining" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XNVNdzVo2A&pp=ygUXdGlsbCB5b3IgbWluZCBpcyBwZXRlcls%3D Peter talked about the song, saying: "The song began around a chord sequence which I liked and which felt quite poppy and playful, so I just kept on playing around with it till I had something. Of all the songs that I’ve written for i/o and o\i this is probably the poppiest for me." "It takes me back to my schooldays, in some ways, because before there was Genesis we were effectively trying to be songwriters more than musicians – pop songs or soul / R&B songs. I think this song connects me back to some of those roots and the sort of thing that I was working on then and trying to master." "Some elements of this are a few years old, I mean pretty much most things I work on take a while to mature. I leave songs for a while and go and do something else and when I come back to them and they smell alive, I will want to complete them. I really enjoyed singing this one, particularly the end, and I think the band had a good time playing it too. You can hear some wonderful performances from all the band. It was really a fun thing to create." "I’ve always been fascinated by explorations of consciousness and attempts to understand from where it originated, along with all the recent investigations into animal and plant sentience. In some ways it’s about opening up the mind and stepping inside to understand a little more of ourselves and the world we live in with the hope that we respond a little more responsibly and compassionately," he said.The post Hear the new Peter Gabriel song “Till Your Mind is Shining” appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

Kiss co-founder and bassist Gene Simmons is back on the road in 2026, as the musician has announced several tour dates across the United States, with Sebastian Bach, Lita Ford and Quiet Riot as special guests. He is currently the only original member of Kiss who is touring, as Paul Stanley has not performed live since the band came to an end in 2023, and Peter Criss has not toured in decades, although he recently released a new solo studio album. Gene Simmons 2026 tour dates June 13 - Indio, CA - Fantasy Springs Resort Casino 19 - Pleasanton, CA - Alameda County Fair July 17 - Fresno, CA - Save Mart Center (with Sebastian Bach, Lita Ford and Quiet Riot) 18 - Murphys, CA - Ironstone Amphitheatre (with Sebastian Bach, Lita Ford and Quiet Riot) 19 - Stateline, NV - Tahoe Blue Event Center (with Sebastian Bach and Lita Ford) October 20-25 - Paradisus Cancun - The Sands 2026 During his solo show at the L’Auberge Casino Resort in Lake Charles, LA, last February 20, Gene Simmons performed for the first time the Kiss songs  “Strange Ways” (From ‘Hotter Than Hell’) and “Rocket Ride” (Single – Co-written by Sean Delaney), written and sung by Ace Frehley. Also part of the setlist were “Cold Gin” and “Parasite”, which, although originally sung by Simmons, were written by the guitarist. Simmons, who criticized Ace Frehley and Peter Criss over the past decades, provoked outrage among fans last year after suggesting that bad decisions had led to Ace's death, although he sadly passed away a few days after a fall at his studio. One of the most influential Rock bands of all time, Kiss was formed in New York City in 1973 by Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss and Paul Stanley. During their 50 year career, only Simmons and Stanley remained in the band the entire time, and they have sold an estimated 100 million records worldwide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykaVzQ4wDko&pp=ygURZ2VuZSBzaW1tb25zIDIwMjU%3DThe post Gene Simmons 2026 tour dates appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

Most music fans might not know, but there may be an interesting connection between Jethro Tull and the Eagles. Ian Anderson, the leader of the influential Progressive Rock band, has mentioned the extremely successful American group many times during his career, sharing his opinion on their music and even suggesting that they may have been inspired by one of his songs when writing their biggest hit. What is Ian Anderson’s opinion on the Eagles Although Ian Anderson is not a big fan of the kind of music Eagles play, he recognizes them as a great band and has said that Hotel California is one of the greatest songs ever written. Interestingly, the similarity between that song and Jethro Tull’s We Used to Know has been discussed by fans for decades, since they share similar chord progressions and the American band was Tull’s opening act in the early 1970s. "When The Eagles were on tour with Jethro Tull, actually as an opening act back in the early part of 1972, we were still at that point playing some of the music from previous albums, including the song 'We Used to Know'. I guess The Eagles probably heard us playing it onstage. They may well have heard it on the radio, anyway. But I’ve never accused The Eagles of plagiarism. You know, I can see the similarities, particularly in terms of the chord sequence, the actual harmonic nature of it." "But the time signature is completely different, the melody is substantially different, and the lyrics, of course, are totally different. So, for my money, The Eagles came out with one of the best and most classic pop-rock songs ever. I mean, who would not like to have written “Hotel California”? If there’s a little bit of my song kind of in there, then I am flattered. I’m certainly not someone who would accuse them of plagiarism. I never have. Other people have continued to make that comparison to this day," Ian Anderson told Jeff Moehlis in 2018. Ian Anderson said there is something magical about "Hotel California" To Jethro Tull's leader, "Hotel California" is a hundred times better than his song and has something magical about it. "Well I wasn’t going to say that but the Eagles song is a twenty times, hundred times better song than my song. So credit to them wherever they got the chord sequence from. A monkey banging on a piano key would have come up with it sooner or later. So credit to them they had a great song." "It’s not my kind of song but it’s a very well written song lyrically and musically. It really is very skillful, so it made them a ton of money. But is really a little piece of magic, it goes on forever. The actual recording of that particular song can be re-recorded countless times by either the Eagles live in concert, re-recorded in the studio, recorded by other artists. But it is that song itself which has that greatness about it." He continued: "It could be argued that many songs by The Beatles have that same thing, they are really little pieces of magic. But when it comes to The Rolling Stones it is really about The Rolling Stones. If somebody else does ‘Brown Sugar’ or ‘Satisfaction’ or ‘Jumping Jack Flash’ frankly it's not really going to make a lot of sense (laughs)," he told Paul McLaney in 2017. "We Used to Know" was on Tull’s second album, "Stand Up" (1969), but is not among their most famous songs. "Hotel California", on the other hand, is not only Eagles’ most successful song but also one of the biggest Rock classics of all time. It was released on the band’s album of the same name in 1977. Don Felder, former guitarist of the Eagles, wrote the music for the classic track. According to him, he came up with the chord progression while staying at a rented beach house in Malibu, saying the chords just “kind of oozed out.” Notably, he wasn’t even in the band when they toured with Jethro Tull, only joining in 1974. Ian Anderson said it seemed that Eagles didn’t like Jethro Tull when they toured together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGvux7w1Ea4&pp=ygUSZWFnbGVzIGpldGhybyB0dWxs According to Ian Anderson, the Eagles didn’t seem to like them when they toured together and the members of Jethro Tull didn’t feel much differently about the American band. Their music was quite different and according to Don Henley, some agents at the time didn’t care whether bands from completely different genres were booked to play together. “It was due to an agent who didn’t really care whether the groups had anything in common or not. He said, ‘You’re gonna open for this group called Jethro Tull. We went, ‘Uh, OK,’ we only had one hit 'Take It Easy'. So we’d go out and play that and a couple of other songs. Back then there was no trying to match styles of music, they just put you out there and you had to sink or swim. (It was a) mismatch (to play with them). “The guys in Yes (who we opened for later on) were nice to us. Procol Harum were very kind to us. I remember their wives translating some of the reviews in German for us,” Don Henley told Classic Rock, showing that they might have not liked Tull that much. Ian Anderson once talked about those shows, recalling that the two bands didn’t really get along that well. "We didn't interact with them very much because they were countrified, laid-back polite rock. We were a bit wacky and English and doing weird stuff. And I don't think they liked us, and we didn't much like them. There was no communication, really, at all. Just a polite observance of each other's space when it came to sound checks and show time," he told SongFacts.The post Ian Anderson’s opinion on the Eagles appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
