PRESENTS:
THE MESMERiZiNG SOUND OF MATTHiAS STURM AND HiS NEW CD BLOOD AND THUNDER 
FEBRUARY
28, 2012 - Last
year, among his many other accolades, MATTHIAS STURM was nominated
for the 10th INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS
(IMAs)
in the SHORT FORM MUSIC VIDEO for “BLOOD AND THUNDER,” the title
track from his debut full length album. Considering his status as a
musical citizen of the world, it’s no surprise that he chose the
dreamy JOHN LENNON and PINK FLOYD influenced global harmony song
“PEACE ON EARTH” as the unofficial lead single. The tune is
gaining airplay from Triple AAA stations in the U.S. to outlets in
India and Dubai. Sturm will be headlining a tour in Dubai the last
quarter of 2012 in association with W.O.A International, the Dubai
Cable Networks, VH1 and with the support of the Rolling Stone (Middle
East). The
multi-talented singer/songwriter’s life leading up to his emergence
as a solo artist rolls like a high spirited travelogue, with his
heartfelt voice conveying highly poetic music and lyrics that, in his
words, invite the listener to “step into a Byronesque universe
inhabited by muses.” STURM hails from East Germany; was heavily
inspired by Mississippi Delta Blues and jazz a la MILES DAVIS and JOHN
COLTRANE; attended
the evening classes of the
Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden; and writes most of his songs at home
in a large 16th
Century Fortress in the Countryside outside of his adopted hometown
of Paris. He headed to L.A. to record BLOOD
AND THUNDER
at BLIND MELON’s former studio with producer DAVID HILLIS,
best
known for his work with PEARL JAM, AFGHAN WIGS and JAMES BLUNT. The
collection also features two-time Grammy nominated songstress ERIN
ALDEN (keyboards, piano, arrangements) and drummer DAVE KRUSEN, who
anchored Pearl Jam as a founding member.CHECK OUT THE MUSiC ViDEO FOR 'BLOOD AND THUNDER'!!! RELATED LiNKS: WWW.MATTHiAS-STURM-ART.COM ABOUT THE HOST:  BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
