I first got into Tom Waits while I was in high school during the 1970s. A friend of mine played me a song called “Warm Beer and Cold Women.” Just the title alone is going to make you drop everything and take a listen. I was a huge

The boundary-busting singer and bassist Meshell Ndegeocello has been getting together with her peers to record cover songs for a very long time. Way back in 1994, Ndegeocello and John Mellencamp had a big hit with their cover of Van Morrison’s “Wild Night.” Today, Ndegeocello announces Synonym, a new album that’s nothing but duet covers.

Following the strong response to previous Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra performances, Mark Tremonti will return to the stage this December for two holiday shows celebrating the music of Frank Sinatra.

The concerts are scheduled for December 16 at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois, and December 18 at the Walt Disney Theater in Orlando, Florida. Once again, Tremonti will be joined by members of Sinatra‘s original touring band, along with local musicians, to perform selections from the legendary singer’s catalog.

Over the past few years, Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra has grown into an annual event that allows the Creed, Alter Bridge and Tremonti guitarist to showcase a different side of his musical background. The performances combine classic arrangements with Tremonti‘s own vocal style while honoring the legacy of one of the most influential voices in popular music.

As with previous editions of the project, the concerts will also support a charitable cause. A portion of the proceeds from both performances will be donated to the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS), continuing Tremonti‘s ongoing support for the organization and its work on behalf of individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
