BIO:
Adam Levine, Maroon 5 frontman and longtime coach on NBC’s “The Voice,” has described her as a unicorn, a mythical creature. But Addison Agen is nothing if not an atypically grounded, humble and levelheaded 16 year old.After finishing in second place on Season 13 of “The Voice,” Addison is ready to take what Levine described as “one of the most special gifts that I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with” and share it with the world. Addison says Levine, her coach on “The Voice,” was a good match for her during Season 13 because he was much more concerned with the substance of performances than such trappings as make-up and hairstyling. “That’s when I knew, ‘This is my dude,’” she says. “’He doesn’t care what I look like. Only what the music is saying.’”

Levine has committed himself to helping her get her career launched, Addison says.
“He has 11 million followers on Instagram,” she says. “And he’s willing to put all his effort and time into me. He is been a huge influence. I want to give back as much as he has.”

Addison wants to create music for everyone, not just for a specific demographic. “I never want it to be specific to one generation,” she says. “That’s not how I grew up. Music wasn’t classified by age. I want all ages to connect with my music.” Don’t miss Addison Agen at EXPRESS LIVE! on June 14^th!

BIO:
Festival-storming trio Highly Suspect returned with second album The Boy Who Died Wolf on November 18, 2016. The moving, jubilant LP from the Brooklyn alt-renegades follows two Top 10 Mainstream Rock hits (“Lydia,” “Bloodfeather”) and two Grammy nominations Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album) just one year from the release of their 300 Entertainment debut, 2015’s Mister Asylum. For the follow-up, the band – Johnny Stevens (guitar/vocals), and fraternal twin brother rhythm section Ricj (bass/vocals) and Ryan Meyer (drums/vocals) – are reappearing stronger, livelier and more mature. The effort earned the boys a third Grammy nomination from “My Name Is Human” (Best Rock Song.)
“The title The Boy Who Died Wolf, it’s like, we were so young and now we’re adults,” says Stevens. “I went through a lot of issues that I had to sort out and sometimes I can’t believe that I’m alive. And now here I am traveling the world with my best friends, making music, and living the exact dream that we had set out to accomplish a long time ago… We’re learning a different lifestyle. And it’s good, it’s positive. But it’s also hard to let go of everything that happened in the past.”
That new lifestyle comes in the wake of success that’s snowballed since 2014, featuring Grammy nods; radio smashes; stops at major festivals (Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Reading and Leeds and so on); tours alongside Scott Weiland, Chevelle and Catfish & the Bottlemen to name a few; tours around the world including Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the UK as well as multiple headlining tours in the United States one of which is currently underway. The feeling of celebration infuses The Boy Who Died Wolf, while still heading into haunted regions of Steven’s past, yowling somewhere between the metronomic robot metal of Queens of the Stone Age, the bluesy wallop of Jack While and the feedback-shrieking noise-pop of In Utero-era Nirvana.

BIO:
Born in London to Scottish parents, Bishop Briggs grew up in Japan and Hong Kong. Days after graduating high school, she moved to Los Angeles where, after years of performing at any venue that would have her, she was discovered in a small hole-in-the-wall by a former-A&R rep and the rest was history. The music of Bishop Briggs transcends the limitations of singular genres, blending folk, pop and electronic music into a wholly unique sound. Her debut track “Wild Horses” reached #1 on Spotify’s US Viral Chart and #2 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 charts, with airplay on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation, Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Show and a prized spot in Acura’s 2016 TLX and ESPN’s NFL Playoffs ads. She followed up with the RIAA-certified gold single, “River,” a searing and cathartic track that captured the attention of tastemakers and gatekeepers and rose to #3 on the Alternative chart with over 170 million global streams; and “Dream”. The emergence of Bishop Briggs in 2017, was triggered by her critically acclaimed self-titled Bishop Briggs EP, her sold out debut headlining tour, and live performance slots opening for Coldplay, Kaleo, alt-J, and Bleachers. The release of “White Flag” and her debut album Church of Scars due out April 20th, underscored by her headlining North American tour in the spring, proclaim the arrival of Bishop Briggs as one of 2018’s most important breakout artists.

Houndmouth

WHEN: July 11, 2018
WHERE: Newport Music Hall – COLUMBUS, OHIO
DOORS: 7:00pm
COST: $18.00 Advance/$20.00 Day of Show
ON-SALE: April 20, 2018
BIO:
In the last four years, Houndmouth have learned what it means to be a band. On their second album, Little Neon Limelight, they wear that wisdom like a badge of honor.Less than a half-decade ago in the small Indiana city of New Albany, four pals were crafting tunes on their own, with few ambitions of turning those songs into a spectacle. That all changed when these friends crossed paths and joined forces. Matt Myers, Shane Cody, Katie Toupin, and Zak Appleby became the drums and keys, guitars and harmonies of Houndmouth, and those personal numbers became the irrepressible core of an outfit turned magnetic.

In 2012, the group issued a self-titled EP on Rough Trade Records, the legendary imprint that signed them after seeing a single gig. One of 2013’s most incandescent debuts, their From the Hills Below the City LP affirmed what label owner Geoff Travis had heard: the sounds of Americana, renewed by the youthful glow of songwriters, musicians and pals unafraid to both celebrate and desecrate them.

Recorded by Dave Cobb in Nashville, Little Neon Limelight pairs the energy and nerves of raw first takes with the accents and moods of a more contemplative, thoughtful unit. Hearts are broken and friends are exiled, love grows cold and drugs do damage, leaders make mistakes and money turns tricks. On the acoustic “Gasoline,” one of the most poignant moments of Houndmouth’s catalog, Toupin barbs the confessions of a perennial party girl with the specter of mortality. “Maybe I’ll meet my maker on a bedroom floor,” she sings, her voice fighting against its own existential fade as bowed cello traces her words. Haunted by samples of the buoyant opener and single “Sedona” and the noisy filigree of a Moog, the beautifully downcast “For No One” stalks through personal blues with conviction. Its world-weariness has been incubated by the world it surveys. Come out and see Houndmouth on July 11^th at Newport Music Hall!

Bad Wolves w/ Diamante

WHEN: June 11, 2018

DOORS: 6:00pm
COST: $20.00 Advance/$23.00 Day of Show
ON-SALE: April 20, 2018
BIO:
Unpredictability drives progression.When art can’t be pigeonholed or pinned down, it elevates the very medium itself. Bad Wolves thrives on that sort of unpredictability, standing confidently at a crossroads between anthemic hard rock infectiousness and thought provoking technically charged heavy metal. Think a cross between the mind numbing musical malevolence of Meshuggah and Sevendust’s timeless irresistibility and you’re halfway there.

The vision of ex-DevilDriver co-founder and previous driving force John Boecklin [drums, guitars] and vocalist Tommy Vext [Snot] as well as Doc Coyle [guitar], Chris Cain [guitar], and Kyle Konkiel the group’s full length debut represents metallic evolution in its purest form. Don’t miss Bad Wolves at The Basement on June 11^th!
