NEWMAN – Another Step Closer (2012)

Posted on July 27, 2012 in Melodic Rock | AOR by Alex F

Recorded at Firefest Festival, “Another Step Closer” captures Steve Newman and his band of merry men on ‘one of those nights’ when the planets align, there is a full moon, a full house, and a band kicking 1000 plus asses amassed in the ‘Rock City’ Nottingham, UK.

More than ably assisted by Dave Bartlett (Bass), Nic Lipscombe (Drums), Paul Boyle (Keyboards) and new guitarist Shaun Bessant who rips out solo after solo and pose after pose, Newman have finally come of age as a bona fide live outfit rather than the studio project that some were beginning to label them.
Just listen to the crowd reaction to long time Newman faves “One Step Closer”, “Heaven Knows” or “Every Moment”.
Plus, we have as bonuses three tracks recently recorded at radio ARfm studio; “Endless”, “On Any Other Sunday” and a Medley including “Edge Of The World / If It’s Love / That Kind Of Girl / One Step Closer”

JIMI JAMISON – Live at Firefest (2012)

Posted on July 27, 2012 in Melodic Rock | AOR by Alex F

Heard by over a billion people a week as the voice of the classic theme tune ‘I’m Always Here’ from the global smash hit show Baywatch, gracing the soundtracks of iconic films like The Karate Kid or Rocky IV, and as part of Melodic Rock AOR icons Survivor, Jimi Jamison is one of the best and most respected singers of the genre.

Incredibly, despite all this success, he had never played the UK until the organisers of the annual Firefest show in Nottingham decided to put right.
Jimi did not disappoint – not content playing a blistering set spanning his hit-strewn career, he also chose to steal the show with a performance that many regard as the greatest ever witnessed during Firefest’s seven year history. Backed by an energetic Swedish band comprised of young rockers H.E.A.T., Eclipse drummer Magnus Ulfstedt and guitar hero Tommy Denander, the full concert was captured on DVD and released last year.
