Bachman Turner Overdrive Announce 2027 No Speed Limit Tour

Bachman Turner Overdrive have announced their 2027 No Speed Limit Tour, which hits the road early next year across the U.S. The trek sees founding member Randy Bachman revving up again with BTO following a successful summer tour with Burton Cummings as The Guess Who. 

Kicking off in January, BTO’s No Speed Limit Tour will include stops in Nashville, Orlando, San Antonio and more cities. Watch the No Speed Limit Tour announcement video below.

“I was a rock n’ roll child at 14 after quitting classical violin and seeing Elvis on TV,” says Bachman. “I feel fortunate and amazed to tour the first half of 2026 with Burton Cummings as The Guess Who – it's exciting to see all the zillions of fans everywhere grooving once again to those hits. And now, I also get to tour across the U.S. with BTO as we announce our No Speed Limit Tour for next year! I'm thankful to all the rockers who keep on rockin' and inspire me!"

In 2023, Bachman revived BTO, the legendary rock n’ roll band behind worldwide hits such as “Takin’ Care Of Business” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet,” and has continued to tour for several years. Led by Bachman, BTO recently revamped its lineup with his son Tal Bachman on guitar; his daughter-in-law KoKo Bachman on drums; as well as his friends Lance Lapointe on bass and Brent Knudsen on guitar, for a true family affair. The BTO legacy lives on, promising unforgettable performances and a continued impact on the ever-evolving rock landscape.

 

Randy Bachman has become a legendary figure in the rock n’ roll world through his talents as a guitarist, songwriter, performer and producer. To date, he has earned over 120 gold and platinum album/singles awards around the world. His songwriting has garnered him the coveted #1 spot on radio playlists in over 20 countries and over the course of his career he has sold over 40 million records. Randy’s songs have been recorded by a broad range of artists and have been placed in dozens of TV shows, films and commercials. Impressively, his music has provided a veritable soundtrack of the last 50 years of popular music.

Rival Sons Guitarist Scott Holiday Releases Single From Upcoming Solo Album

 

"Autonomatic" is the fuzz-drenched new single from Topology, the upcoming album from Rival Sons guitarist Scott Holiday’s solo project HOL1D4Y. “Autonomatic: It’s a word I came up with by combining the words: autonomy and automatic,” states Holiday. “Autonomatic: The built in or intrinsic desire for autonomy.”

“Autonomatic talks about our changing relationships with machines” states Holiday “How we might, at this point in history, use them to complete tasks and assist us with creativity. Maybe even help us socially, but especially with A.I, technology is progressing so rapidly it is so much more than a tool to finish an essay for us. If machines truly start to make decisions and “think”‘ for themselves…the natural progression could be that it will want to be like us in the deepest ways it can understand. We are free. We are autonomous. I think that this will be a natural evolution for a free thinking hyper intelligent entity. Autonomy. Built in autonomy. Hence the idea: they are Autonomatic.” Have a listen below.

Holiday's solo album Topology will be released September 25. Recorded and self-produced in his home studio, the album represents complete creative independence. The genesis of the project was partly shaped by a disastrous bike crash at the end of last year, when everything stopped. Just minutes from home, Holiday was struck by a car while riding his bike home after an evening with friends. He has no memory of the collision. The accident left him with six broken ribs, a shoulder injury, a head injury, and months of recovery. Unable to move but still thinking creatively, Holiday kept developing the unfinished pieces in his mind. A few compositions remained instrumental; but the rest started asking for lyrics.

Pre-order Topology    

“What surprised me was that they stopped feeling like instrumental pieces,” Holiday says. “They seemed prepped for a story. Once I realized that, the words came quickly. That’s when I knew it was time to step into this new role — I needed to be the one to tell these stories.”

For the first time in his career, Holiday sings on his own recordings — less a reinvention than a part of his creative voice that hadn’t yet found the right project. Every aspect of the project was developed according to its own internal compass, free to become exactly what the music demanded.

This project has taken on a visual life of its own too, Topology occupies a space where psychedelic atmosphere, alternative music, progressive exploration and experimental pop intersect. How could Holiday not indulge his love of psychedelic imagery to match.

Check out the first single "Veridream" below.

 

“For this project the visual aesthetic is especially important to me. I want to evoke different feelings in the listener and viewer, and it’s so much more effective when there’s both elements (audio and visual) present. So every song on this album will have some degree of visual element to it. Colors and textures..people and places that evoke deeper feelings in us. Feelings that rest in the back of our minds and hearts through our ears and eyes.”

For more than three decades, Scott Holiday has built a career by following instinct. Before there was an album concept, or even the idea of a solo project, he started a new daily habit: wake up, get in the studio, pick up a guitar, with one rule — write something. Not a finished song, sometimes just a 45 second idea. Just a fragment, then set aside and picked up again the next day. The goal wasn’t productivity, it was momentum.

As the collection of sketches grew, Holiday noticed they weren’t isolated ideas — they shared a language, leaning into atmosphere, psychedelic experimentation, different textures and rhythms than he previously had worked with. The material felt personal enough that it resisted broad collaboration and asked to develop on its own terms.

Those early sketches were built around improvised drum recordings from longtime collaborator and Rival Sons drummer Michael Miley, sent from his home studio. Holiday treated them as raw material rather than finished tracks, cutting and reshaping the performances into the rhythmic foundation of each song.

Amid textural, fuzz-soaked, cinematic guitars, Topology is equally defined by lush vintage synthesizers and deeply pocketed drum grooves that anchor constantly shifting arrangements. There are echoes of the adventurous spirit of '70s progressive music, but the record feels equally informed by modern alternative production and a willingness to let mood, texture and movement take precedence over convention.

By the time five compositions had taken shape, Holiday realized he wasn’t writing toward another Rival Sons record — he was starting a new artistic identity: HOL1D4Y.

Foghat Announce First Live Album With Current Lineup

More than 55 years after forming in the U.K., Foghat (founding drummer Roger Earl, guitarist Bryan Bassett, lead singer and guitarist Scott Holt, and bassist Rodney O'Quinn) remains one of rock & roll's hardest working and most respected live bands. Throughout their 2025 “Slow Ride 50th Anniversary Tour” and in-progress 2026 “Twang & Bang Tour,” the band has kept the wheels turning with performances across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe, as well as their grand return to the U.K. after 52 years, bringing all audiences the unmistakable blend of blues, boogie, and straight-ahead rock that has become the band's trademark thanks to their classic hits “Fool for the City,” “Slow Ride,” and “I Just Wanna Make Love To You,” among many others.

 

As they look ahead to 2027, Foghat is bringing their live show from the stage to speakers with their new triple vinyl release, Live & Loud Across The U.S.A., which is due out October 30 on the band’s label, Foghat Records, distributed by Select-O-Hits (part of the Sun Records family). 

Pre-order Live & Loud Across The U.S.A. 

Live & Loud Across The U.S.A. will be sold as two gold vinyl discs, along with a bonus third red vinyl disc that will include a reissue of the fan favorite Earl & the Agitators (aka FOGHAT) record, Shaken & Stirred (produced/mixed/mastered by guitarist Bryan Bassett), which has never been available on vinyl until now.

A limited quantity of numbered and autographed copies of Live & Loud Across The U.S.A. can be pre-ordered now on TalkShop.Live. 

 

Have a listen to the first single, “My Babe,” below.

Live & Loud Across The U.S.A. captures the first live album by the current Foghat lineup Where they have always been at their absolute best, on stage. Recorded during performances in cities across America throughout the 2024 and 2025 tours, this powerful collection highlights a band that continues to play with the passion, chemistry, and fire that has defined them since 1971. Featuring many live recordings being released for the first time, it’s a testament to a group that refuses to slow down. Instead, Foghat remains exactly what it has always been: a great live rock & roll band.

 

In 2014, Roger and Bryan met Scott Holt, who had toured and recorded with Buddy Guy for over a decade.  They immediately hit it off and invited Scott to write some material and perform on their upcoming release, 2016’s Under The Influence. They ended up writing 17 songs. The following year brought an unexpected opportunity. Tom Mix (winner of Foghat’s lyric-writing contest while serving as a pilot in Afghanistan) had returned home and was attending the Dark Horse Institute in Franklin, TN. As part of the student’s graduation project, he invited the band to record at the school’s professional studio. The students would mix the recordings, and the band would keep the masters.

 

Over the next several days, even more songs were written and recorded. One evening, while enjoying a bottle of Foghat Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, guitarist Bryan Bassett jokingly suggested the name, Earl & the Agitators, and it stuck. The band began playing shows, often opening for Foghat itself. In 2018, the music was released online as Shaken & Stirred and has been a fan favorite ever since.

 

Foghat is still making chart-topping music and touring relentlessly over 50 years later. Their latest studio album, Sonic Mojo, was released November 10, 2023, and remained on the Billboard Top 10 “Blues Albums” chart for 34 weeks, including two weeks at #1. It is the first time the band has ever landed at #1 on any of Billboard’s charts after a new album release. Even “Slow Ride” had never reached #1. Sonic Mojo is available in various formats, including a single CD boasting 12 electrifying tracks in a stunning six-page digipak and digital copies. For vinyl enthusiasts, there’s a limited edition 180gram, neon purple vinyl version featuring 11 tracks and a gatefold jacket.

 

Included in the Live & Loud Across The U.S.A. packaging is a special message from Roger Earl:

 

“People often ask me if we’re ever going to slow down. The answer is… not yet!

 

The performances on this album were recorded in cities across the United States during the past two years.  We didn’t set out to make a live record--we simply wanted to capture Foghat doing what we’ve always loved to do: playing live.  Most of these songs have never been released as official live recordings before, and I think they show where the band is today.

 

For the second disc, we wanted to include something that many people may not realize is also part of the Foghat story. Earl and The Agitators isn’t another band – it’s us.

 

Whether you know us as Foghat or Earl & The Agitators, it’s always been about playing music we believe in and sharing it with people who love it as much as we do.  Thank you for coming along with us on this incredible journey.  We couldn’t have done it without your support, and we hope these recordings bring you as much enjoyment as we’ve had making them.

 

See you down the road…”

Paul Rodgers & Geezer Butler Honored On 'Sound & Vision Live' Double Vinyl Release

 

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Paul Rodgers (Bad Company) and Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) are honored on Sound & Vision Live, a limited-edition all-star double vinyl album recorded during the inaugural Palm Springs Sound & Vision Awards at the historic Plaza Theatre on March 2, 2026.

Produced by Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and drummer Matt Sorum, the album captures extraordinary performances honoring Rodgers and Butler while bringing together an all-star cast of musicians in support of music education.

The recording features performances by Rodgers and Butler, plus an all-star lineup that includes Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Charlie Starr (BlackBerry Smoke), Phil X (Bon Jovi), Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver), Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots), Stevie Salas (Mick Jagger), Mike Mangan (The Cult), and Paul Ill (Alicia Keys).

Every participating artist donated their time and talent in support of Adopt the Arts Foundation, co-founded by Sorum, and its mission to restore and sustain music education in underserved public elementary schools.

“I never went into that night thinking we were making a record,” said Sorum. “I originally had the show recorded and filmed because I wanted to preserve the experience for myself. But when I listened back, I realized we had captured something truly magical — the energy in the room, the performances, and the spirit of all these incredible artists coming together for the kids. Through Experience Vinyl, we had an opportunity to turn that moment into something people could hold onto while raising meaningful support for music education.”

The initial pressing will be limited to 2,000 double-vinyl albums, priced at $99.98.

Pre-order Sound & Vision Live

Of the total pressing, 250 Plaza Theatre Collector's Editions will be available for the September 13 Record Release Celebration. Pressed on color vinyl, these collectible editions feature artwork unavailable on the standard online release.

The remaining albums will be available exclusively through Experience Vinyl, with the official pre-sale beginning August 3, 2026.

Experience Vinyl is donating its services so that proceeds from album sales directly benefit Adopt the Arts Foundation. Philanthropic supporters also provided the funding necessary to mix, master and complete the album and companion concert film.

“Experience Vinyl is about preserving the moments in music that deserve to live beyond a single night,” said Seth Frank, Founder of Experience Vinyl. “From the performances to the purpose behind them, Sound & Vision Live is exactly the kind of project we want to help bring into the world. We are proud to donate our work and platform so that proceeds directly support Adopt the Arts and help provide children with access to music education.”

The album was recorded by Kemble Walters and Miguel Sosa, mixed by Walters at Goodnoise Studios in Palm Springs, and mastered for vinyl by Grammy-winning mastering engineer Howie Weinberg and Will Borza.

Internationally acclaimed photographer and creative director Glen Wexler created the album artwork and liner notes. The deluxe package features archival photography, original artwork and extensive liner notes celebrating the performances and the enduring legacies of Paul Rodgers and Geezer Butler.

The project was made possible through the generous support of Executive Producers Jackie and Joby Pritzker and Co-Executive Producers Dale Lawrence, James Malachowski and Sam Senigaglia.

The official Sound & Vision Live Record Release Celebration will take place Sunday, September 13, 2026, at the historic Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs and will feature two screenings of the companion concert film.

The film combines performances from the March 2 Sound & Vision Awards with behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage and commentary from Matt Sorum.

A 3:00 p.m. Community Screening will welcome Palm Springs Unified School District students and families, followed by a 7:00 p.m. Public Screening & Record Release Celebration featuring a live conversation with Matt Sorum and a special guest to be announced, exclusive merchandise, and silent auction opportunities benefiting Adopt the Arts.

More than a celebration of rock history, Sound & Vision Live helps create the next generation of musicians.

Founded in 2012 by Matt Sorum and Emmy Award-winning actress Jane Lynch, Adopt the Arts Foundation restores and sustains music education in underserved public elementary schools.

Today, the Foundation serves more than 4,000 students annually throughout Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley by providing music instruction, instruments, curriculum, teacher support, artist mentorship, and meaningful performance opportunities.

“Every artist who stepped onto that stage understood why we were there,” Sorum said. “We came together to celebrate two legends, but the real encore is every child who discovers music because of this record.”

Dave Stewart Announces New Album For September Release

 

Dave Stewart — the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Songwriter Hall of Famer, Eurythmics co-founder, producer, and acclaimed songwriter — has announced a new album called The Way It Was Back Then. Written, performed, and produced entirely by Stewart, the 10-song collection arrives on Friday, September 18, via Bay Street Records as a limited, physical-only release on CD and vinyl, just days after his birthday. 

Pre-order The Way It Was Back Then

Recorded at Stardust in the Bahamas, The Way It Was Back Then was built around spontaneous, one-take performances. With no lyrics written down beforehand, Stewart sang, played guitar, and improvised melodies in real time — handling vocals, guitar, keyboard, and programming — while his longtime engineer and collaborator Jesse Samler played bass, drums, keyboard, and programming alongside him (Samler also handled the album's layout). The two of them then built out the rest of each song together and mixed the record themselves. The result is an intimate, unfiltered album about memory, survival, love, loss, loyalty, and betrayal — and the strange feeling of still being here after all of it.

Dave Stewart: "I wasn’t aware that I was making an album — in-between the various things happening in my life — some I instigated, and some just happenstance. I started to record myself singing songs at the same time as playing guitar. In almost every song, I didn’t write down any lyrics — I just sang the words at the same time as singing the melodies and playing the chords, kind of freeform. Luckily, my engineer and good pal Jesse can play the drums and bass real well, so it’s only the two of us playing everything! The whole album is very spontaneous in its lyrics and music. I have used this method on various solo albums, but usually that was with a programmer or a full band playing, but this time it was a lot more intimate.

"There is a lot of looking back, and I suppose everyone goes through this at different times in their life... especially at my age, but this is not looking back in a soft nostalgic way. These songs are about memory, survival, love, loss, damage, loyalty, betrayal, and the strange feeling of still being here after all of it. All of this spewed out, as I said, with no lyrics written down, straight off the top of my head in one take — so I’m not sure how I did it, and as usual, have to work out later what chords I was playing and learn the melodies that I sang at the time. On listening and reading the lyrics now, I realize there are songs about old friends, parents, heartbreak, the streets, courtrooms, and so many ghosts of people and places that never really left me.

"At the center of the album, I suppose there is a deep longing for connection, but there is also the truth that nothing ever works out the way it did back then, hence the title. The past can be beautiful, but it can also be dangerous. A name, a voice, a house, a photograph — any of it can open my heart and break it at the same time.

"Some of the songs are very personal and rooted in where I came from. For me, the feeling of this album is bittersweet, cinematic, and human. The Way It Was Back Then is not really about trying to go back...it’s about finally facing what was there."

The new album follows Dave Does Dylan, Stewart's 14-song homage to Bob Dylan, which arrived as a limited-edition, Record Store Day-exclusive vinyl release via Surfdog Records in 2025. Featuring just Stewart on vocals and guitar recorded in live, unedited takes, the album found him performing inspired renditions of Dylan songs he has adored since childhood — a project Dylan himself praised, calling Stewart “a dreamer and a fearless innovator, a visionary of high order.” Aired live via PBS and YouTube, Stewart honored Bob Dylan with an intimate stripped down performance of Dave Does Dylan.
