Los Angeles (September 15, 2020) – AXS TV and Good Cop/Bad Cop Productions—the company behind Live From Daryl’s House—continue their strong partnership, bringing 10 additional episodes of the acclaimed music series to the Network’s lineup this fall.

The series kicks off with a pair of star-studded sets broadcast for the first time worldwide, starting with Hall’s jam session with STYX front man Tommy Shaw on October 1, featuring intimate performances of STYX signatures “Blue Collar Man,” “Too Much Time On My Hands,” and “Renegade,” as well as Daryl Hall and John Oates’ hits “Delayed Reaction” and “It’s A Laugh.” Then, on October 8, Hall joins Ty Taylor, lead singer of L.A.-based R&B quartet Vintage Trouble, for a night of music featuring Vintage Trouble originals “Another Man’s Words,” “Nobody Told Me” and “Can’t Stop Rollin’”. They also perform The Spinners’ “I’ll Be Around,” which was covered on the Daryl Hall and John Oates album “Our Kind of Soul.”

Live From Daryl’s House was created in 2007 by Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer Daryl Hall, who wanted a creative refuge from the grind of touring where he and his talented friends could hangout and rock out in a relaxed atmosphere. The Webby Award-winning program quickly took the music world and the internet by storm with its unique format, as Hall welcomed a new artist into his domain each week to enjoy some local cuisine and conversation, before hitting the studio for an unforgettable jam session. Since that time, Live From Daryl’s House has transformed into a nationally syndicated television series, attracting some of the biggest names in the industry and amassing a loyal cult following of fans eagerly anticipating the next new episode.

Other highlights include appearances and performances by guitar mastermind Joe Walsh (Oct. 15), chart-topping Goo Goo Dolls frontman Johnny Rzeznik (Oct. 22), jazz and soul songstress Kandace Springs (Oct. 29), Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Cheap Trick (Nov. 5), R&B trailblazer Smokey Robinson (Nov. 12), alt-rock mainstay Ben Folds (Nov. 19), legendary ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons (Dec. 3), and iconic soul outfit The O’Jays (Dec. 10).

In regard to the upcoming season’s lineup, Daryl Hall said, “There are so many great moments.  The O’Jays one gets to the core of what I’m really all about.”

“I’m excited that AXS TV is debuting the Tommy Shaw and Ty Taylor episodes, as the fans have been asking for new episodes.  Our partnership with the team at AXS TV keeps getting stronger, so I’m proud that we’re able to deliver new content, especially during these challenging times,” said Executive Producer Jonathan Wolfson.

“Live From Daryl’s House really resonated with our viewers when it debuted on our Network last April,” said Lucia McCalmont, Vice President of Programming and Scheduling, AXS TV. “We strive to give our audience the best seat in the house to unforgettable performances and unprecedented access to their favorite entertainers, and this series is a perfect reflection of that. We are proud to have the opportunity to feature it in our programming lineup once again, and we are pleased to be able to extend and build upon this successful partnership with Good Cop/Bad Cop Productions.”

Live from Daryl's House hosts Amos Lee

Daryl Hall continues to hit it out of the park, or, should I say "house," on his outstanding and groundbreaking music series. His latest guest is singer-songwriter Amos Lee, who blew me away when I reviewed him at House of Blues Anaheim in January 2011. Read my review of that concert that ran in The Orange County Register here, and check out details on the new episode of 'Live from Daryl's House' below...

'Live from Daryl's House' on Palladia  Daryl Hall and Amos Lee christen his new clubhouse/venue/restaurant on latest installment, premiered last night, Feb. 27 on Palladia, and will be shown April 15 on LFDH.com, featuring Daryl solo rarity "I'm in a Philly Mood" and Mutlu guest-starring on "Caramel"

Photo Credit: www.ianjphoto.com Live from Daryl's House celebrates it's Philadelphia roots in its new Pawling, N.Y., location as fellow City of Brotherly Love native Amos Lee joins Daryl Hall for the show's 66th and latest installment. The episode premiered on Viacom's high-definition music channel Palladia on Thursday, February 27 and will be available on the VH1 App on March 7 before being made available April 15 on Daryl's dedicated LFDH.com website, the first to be filmed at Daryl's still-under-construction new "clubhouse," a combination concert venue and restaurant he is currently restoring as a future home for the show.   One-time schoolteacher Lee and Daryl team up for a seven-song performance that includes an eclectic set list that includes a rare Daryl Hall solo song, the aptly named R&B harmonies of "I'm in a Philly Mood," from his 1993 Soul Alone album, as well as a  pair of Hall and Oates classics, including "When the Morning Comes," the first track on their 1973 Abandoned Luncheonette album, "The Method of Modern Love," a Top 5 hit on 1984's smash Big Bam Boom album. Amos and the band also run through two songs from his self-titled 2004 Blue Note debut, "Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight," a song about rising rents and gentrification in his old Philly neighborhood, and "Seen It All Before," reminiscent of a cross between The Band at its most soulful and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door." There are also takes on "Windows are Rolled Down," from his chart-topping 2011 Mission Bell album and a version of "Caramel," by his longtime bandmate and opening act Mutlu, who sits in on vocals for a song that the two played on the Norah Jones tour.   In the regular cooking segment, Daryl's old pal and namesake from nearby Vinny's Deli demonstrates the many uses of Daryl's House Marinara Sauce by using it to cook a seafood fra diavolo, with shrimp, scungilli, clams and pasta, as well as a pizza.   Lee raved about the experience: "We had a great time doing Live from Daryl's House. Everyone was really cool and we had a lot of fun. I just saw them over the past year at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and at the Tower in Philadelphia. I'm more of a fan now than I was before. I really respect Daryl as a writer."   Added Daryl: "We had a good time. We got Philadelphia-ized, and pretty funky. Some funk was definitely had."   Amos has toured with legendary artists like Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, collaborated with Norah Jones, Lucinda Williams and Zac Brown Band, and been touted as a favorite songwriter and performer by The Band Perry and Lady Antebellum. He followed his 2004 debut with the critically acclaimed Supply and Demand (2006) and Last Days at the Lodge (2008). 2011's Mission Bell entered the Billboard 200, Amazon, and iTunes charts at # 1 and contained the chart-topping Triple A radio hit "Windows are Rolled Down." His latest album, Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song (2013), topped the Americana radio chart for two consecutive months, featuring guest appearances by Alison Krauss and Patti Griffin. The New York Times hailed it as "serenely sure-footed" while Elmore noted it "may be Lee's finest yet."   Lee will appear on an upcoming Jimmy Kimmel Live!, guest on Tavis in March and be featured on an episode of PBS' Music City Roots, a new variety show hosted by Jim Lauderdale in Nashville. This summer, he is scheduled to perform at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival (June 12-15) and Firefly Music Festival in Dover, DE (June 17-19).He will be accompanied by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra when he plays his first headline show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, on August 1. Amos is donating $1 from each ticket sold for the tour to Musicians on Call (www.musiciansoncall.org/amos), a non-profit organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities.   The past seven years have marked a steady stream of superlatives and recognition for Live from Daryl's House, with Hall receiving a Webby Award for Best Variety series from more than 10,000 entries at the 14th annual ceremony at N.Y.'s Cipriani Wall Street before garnering an O Music Award from MTV.   Live from Daryl's House executive producers are Hall and manager Jonathan Wolfson. The 65 previous episodes of Live From Daryl's House have featured a mix of well-known performers like Gavin DeGraw, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Jason Mraz, The Voice's Cee Lo Green, Shelby Lynne, Joe Walsh, Booker T and the MGs, Blind Boys of Alabama, Rob Thomas, Train, Smokey Robinson, The Doors' Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek, Toots Hibbert, Nick Lowe, K.T.

Live From Daryl's House on Palladia with Johnnyswim

JOHNNYSWIM's performance at the Taylor Guitars booth at NAMM in Anaheim was one of the music industry show's highlights last month. Now the genre-bending duo is going to join forces with Daryl Hall on an upcoming episode of Live from Daryl's House. I can't wait to catch that episode. Here is the official media release...

LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE ON PALLADIA UNEARTHS "DIAMONDS" AS HUSBAND-WIFE DUO JOHNNYSWIM GETS DOWN WITH DARYL HALL   ON 65TH EPISODE JOHNNYSWIM' with Daryl Hall. Photo credit: www.ianjphoto.com Daryl Hall and JOHNNYSWIM feel right at "Home" for newest episode, premiering Feb. 20 on Palladia, March 15 on LFDH.com, featuring classics "Adult Education" and "Do What You Want, Be What You Are" on last-ever show at old house

NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2014--Live from Daryl's House never felt more like home, as the show welcomes the now L.A.-based husband-wife team of JOHNNYSWIM for its 65th and latest installment, the third new show of 2014, following Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Gavin DeGraw and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons. The latest episode premieres on Viacom's high-definition music channel Palladia on Thursday, February 20, on the VH1 App on February 28 and then will be available on March 15 on Daryl's dedicated LFDH.com website, the final show at Daryl's old home, which has since been sold. Married couple Abner and Amanda-Sudano Ramirez join Daryl and the band for a six-song set that includes a pair of Daryl Hall and John Oates classics, including the Top 10 single, "Adult Education," one of two songs recorded for the 1984 compilation Rock and Soul Part 1, and "Do What You Want, Be What You Are," the song from their 1976 album, Bigger Than Both Of Us, which was also the title of their 2009 Sony Legacy four-CD box set. The group then joins forces on four JOHNNYSWIM originals, including "Diamonds," the title track from their full-length debut, produced by Abner and slated for release April 29 on their own indie label Big Picnic Records, as well as "Home," a Creedence Clearwater-styled swamp-rocker that perfectly captures the Live from Daryl's House setting. There are also performances of the title track from their critically acclaimed Heart Beats EP, and a soulful rendition of "Annie." In the regular cooking segment, chef Eric Blomberg of New York's Blue Ribbon Restaurants provides a meat-eaters' special, demonstrating for Daryl and JOHNNYSWIM how to prepare the bone marrow of a cow with oxtail marmalade. The duo called the opportunity to play on Live from Daryl's House "a highlight of the year for us... We've been watching the show for years and it was a dream come true to get to see it in person, play with Daryl and the band, and be a part of the legacy it's creating. Not to mention the house, food and hang we're epic. It was like being part of a family. Let's do it again!" Daryl was duly impressed with the pair. "What a day. That is one fantastic duo, and I love duos. They were so prepared, and such good musicians. They just jumped right in. I love their songs, especially 'Annie.' The band and I had a great time." Amanda was exposed to music at a young age, while Abner studied music at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in his native Jacksonville, FL. The two met in 2006 in Nashville and started collaborating musically after discovering their similar influences of folk, soul and rock. Since then, they've relocated to Los Angeles, released two critically lauded EPs and performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and the Today Show. The duo has toured extensively, including stops at SXSW, Spoleto Festival, Bonnaroo and a support slot for Emeli Sandé.  They were chosen as VH1's first-ever "You Oughta Know" artists and have performed on the network's The O Music Awards and Do Something Awards shows. Vogue called their music "infectious," Entertainment Weekly raved, "As lovely as they are talented," and Paste said of the duo, "one of a kind." JOHNNYSWIM are scheduled to play at SXSW in Austin (March 12-14), the New Orleans Jazz Fest (May 2) and the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, DE (June 19). The past seven years have marked a steady stream of superlatives and recognition for Live from Daryl's House, with Hall receiving a Webby Award for Best Variety series from more than 10,000 entries at the 14th annual ceremony at N.Y.'s Cipriani Wall Street before garnering an O Music Award from MTV.

The band, formed in Houston in 1969, boasts seven platinum and 11 gold records, selling more than 25 million in U.S. album sales alone. Daryl and Billy launch into a remarkably diverse seven-song set of Daryl Hall and John Oates and ZZ Top chestnuts along with a vintage cover of Hammond B-3 jazz-blues organist Jimmy McGriff's 1963 instrumental, "Kiko."  The pair also perform such deep Daryl Hall tunes as "Bank on Your Love," a song from Daryl Hall and John Oates' hit album, Big Bam Boom and "Love You Like a Brother," recorded in 1973, but unreleased until 1977's Atlantic Records hits compilation, No Goodbyes. The twosome lean into four ZZ Top nuggets, the band's cover of Sam & Dave's "I Thank You," from the 1979 album Deguello; the classic "La Grange," included on 1973's Tres Hombres; "Sharp Dressed Man" from 1983's 10-million-selling Eliminator, and the group's version of the Nightcaps' '50s rave-up, "Thunderbird." "Playing Live from Daryl's House is a regular, down-to-earth, big bash," said Gibbons about the experience. "Good groovin' to the core."

Hall & Oates display their timeless magic at sold-out Pacific Amphitheatre

I have long been a fan of Hall & Oates, whose blend of rock, soul, pop and folk have influenced several generations of players and pleased countless millions of fans. As long-time readers know, I consider it an embarrassment that the popular and groundbreaking duo is not in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.  More than 40 years after the release of their first album, the Philadelphia-spawned twosome remain a top concert act as evidenced by the full house who caught their show at the Pacific Amphitheatre at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, California on Aug. 8, 2013.

Daryl Hall and John Oates came to the O.C. armed with a talented six-member backing band (whose players are well known thanks to the popular Live From Daryl's House TV series) and proceeded to perform electrifying versions of their biggest hits as well as some early gems more than worth rediscovery across a fast-paced 80 minutes of music making.

Opening with the number one hit "Out of Touch," the performance cast a light on Hall's shining vocal powers and provided choice moments for Oates to offer up some nice lead work on his electric guitar. The follow-up, a rollicking take on their early '80s cover of Mike Oldfield's "Family Man," allowed Oates to really fire up his fretwork and further generated momentum with the 7,500 or so on hand.

Oates sang lead on the "How Does It Feel to Be Back?" (the power pop-tinged nugget originally on 1980's Voices) and the duo shared vocals on the rock jazz classic "Las Vegas Turnaround" (one of the highlights on 1973's Abandoned Luncheonette) but the rest of the night was focused squarely on the pair's biggest chart toppers. 

No matter the song, the duo's distinctive harmonies and unique brand of soul shone bright. Orange County Register writer George A. Paul has a more in-depth review of the show that you can see here.

Set list: Daryl Hall & John Oates at Pacific Amphitheatre on Aug. 8, 2013

Main set: Out of Touch / Family Man / Say It Isn't So / How Does It Feel to Be Back? / Las Vegas Turnaround / She's Gone / Sara Smile / Maneater / I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)

First encore: Rich Girl / You Make My Dreams

Second encore: Kiss on My List / Private Eyes

Sights and Sounds: Daryl Hall, John Fogerty

This post features news from two corners of the modern music universe to be sure...but the one thing that Daryl Hall and John Fogerty share is that both are artists who continue to push themselves and find new audiences long after they launched their respective groundbreaking careers.


DARYL HALL’S TV CAREER EXPANDS INTO COTTAGE INDUSTRY, WHICH NOW INCLUDES HOME RESTORATION

'Daryl’s Restoration Over-Hall' Will Debut on Scripps Networks Interactive’s DIY Network in 2014, Joining Live from Daryl’s House, which Continues on Palladia, RFD, Family Net and in Syndication

Daryl Hall

NEW YORK, June 4, 2013 – Daryl Hall is a true renaissance man for all seasons, with his interests in music and home restoration the subjects of two different TV shows on four individual cable networks and national syndication. One could say he’s building that resume from the ground up as the record-setting musician displays his talents as a builder and designer on Daryl’s Restoration Over-Hall, a new show debuting on Scripps Networks Interactive’s DIY Network in 2014. Hall and his manager Jonathan Wolfson are executive producers, and Michael Morrissey is the director.

Daryl’s Restoration Over-Hall joins Live from Daryl’s House, his critically acclaimed, award-winning, web-to-cable series, which can currently be seen on Viacom’s high-def network Palladia, RFD-TV, FamilyNet and in national syndication. Production of Live from Daryl’s House, which has produced 62 episodes to date, resumes in the fall.

DIY Network, HGTV’s sister property, originally contacted Hall upon learning of his interest in vintage architecture. Daryl, who has previously restored a number of antique homes, including the 18th century farmhouse in Dutchess County, N.Y., where his Live from Daryl’s House regularly takes place, will tackle a late Georgian house circa 1780 located on the Fairfield-Litchfield County border of Connecticut, where DIY Network’s cameras will follow his progress on a weekly basis.

“The purpose of my new show is to restore an antique New England house, showing how it can be done in an authentic manner, keeping the original elements and making it consistent with the modern world,” said Hall. “I also want to feature the important community of crafts-people, who are expert in authentic restoration.”

In Daryl’s Restoration Over-Hall, Hall plans to revive the quaint 1-bedroom into a new family home that was originally built by a widowed sea captain. His care in historically accurate restoration must be melded with the mandates of modernity and small town regulations. Hall will bring in a team of craftsmen he has worked with over the years. He also plans on involving the American College of Building Arts in Charleston, S.C., which is the only school in America with an accredited program in this field.

“This is yet another way of putting my creativity and my other passions aside from music out there, so they can all mix together, Hall added, "We have a legacy of unique antique architecture here in America. Unfortunately, in many cases, they have been let go, demolished or altered inconsistently to their original character.”


JOHN FOGERTY'S 'MYSTIC HIGHWAY' VIDEO PREMIERES ON VEVO

Back in May 2007, John Fogerty delivered one of the finest concerts I've ever seen at the Doheny Blues Festival; you can read my review of that show that ran in The Orange County Register here. In fact, as evidenced by his new album Wrote a Song for Everyone, the legendary singer-songwriter-guitarist continues to blaze ahead. I was especially moved by his new music video for the song "Mystic Highway." 

Today VEVO is hosting the premiere the latest videos from John Fogerty, One Republic and Florida George Line. You can catch all of the videos on VEVO, and I've also embedded Fogerty's fantastic new music video below...

'Live From Daryl's House' hosts Shelby Lynne in holiday episode

I always enjoy watching Live From Daryl's House whenever possible. Here is the latest news on the show, definitely in tune with the holiday season.

SHELBY LYNNE CELEBRATES A SOULFUL CHRISTMAS ON A FESTIVE 61ST LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE SET FOR DEC. 13 PALLADIA PREMIERE Daryl Hall and Best New Artist Grammy winner join on six-song set, including original holiday numbers from their respective Christmas albums, as they stuff a roast goose

It's that time of the year, as Daryl Hall conquers his head cold to celebrate the season in a series of Christmas duets with Grammy winner Shelby Lynne on the 61st and latest edition of Live from Daryl's House, the critically acclaimed, award-winning web-to-cable series. For this special holiday episode, Daryl and Shelby join in a "delta blues-meets-Philly soul" throwdown, featuring a half-dozen performances-four songs from their respective Christmas albums, Daryl Hall and John Oates' 2006 release Home for Christmas and the singer-songwriter's 2010 set Merry Christmas, as well as a pair of Lynne originals. The show, now available via over-the-air syndication, will premiere on Viacom's high-definition music channel Palladia Dec. 13, then will be available on www.lfdh.com on Dec. 15. "She's a really interesting singer and songwriter," comments Daryl, who says he's wanted to have Lynne on the show for awhile. "And even though she came up in Nashville, I think she's a great soul singer. She means every word that comes out of her mouth." "I loved hanging out with Daryl and the guys in the band," enthuses Shelby. "Daryl is as amazing a person as he is a singer. I was honored to go to his place and make music. Daryl's Place will stay around a long time because it's all about the integrity of the artist and the music." Lynne first broke through at the age of 18, when her demos landed her an appearance on TNN's Nashville Now series. Her 1999 breakthrough, I Am Shelby Lynne, led to a Grammy for Best New Artist. She followed with critically acclaimed albums Love, Shelby (2001),Identity Crisis (2003) and Suit Yourself (2005). She made her acting debut playing Johnny Cash's mother in the Oscar-winning Fox Searchlight movie, Walk the Line. Just a Little Lovin', her tribute to Dusty Springfield, came out in 2008. In 2010, she founded her own label, EVERSO Records, a move that has given her the freedom to release music on her own timetable. Her EVERSO debut, Tears, Lies, And Alibis, dropped in 2010 and was followed by Merry Christmas (2010) and Revelation Road (2011). In November, she released a deluxe edition of the latter, which also includes her first-ever live album, recorded this past May at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, along with a Live in London DVD and a documentary on the making of the album. The two perform a pair of songs each from their Christmas albums, including the Shelby Lynne originals "Ain't Nothin' Like Christmas" and a bluesy "Xmas," the latter Daryl terming "one of the darkest Christmas songs ever written," with lyrics like "Holiday cocktails make me forget/The gifts that Daddy never opened." The set also includes the original title track to Hall and Oates' Home for Christmas, as well as a spirited cover of that album's Robbie Robertson-penned "Christmas Must Be Tonight." They also tackle Lynne's "Leavin'," a song from her I Am Shelby Lynne album, and "Bend," from Love, Shelby, the latter given a rousing Philly International soul treatment that proves Hall's assessment of the self-described southern girl's ability to sing R&B. To top off the performances, Daryl and Shelby join chefs Eric Gabrynowicz and Stephen Mancini, from local Armonk, NY-based Restaurant North, to cook up a roast goose dinner, including braised red cabbage, squash soup, pears and a watermelon grown in Hall's garden, with Shelby doing the honors stuffing the bird. The conversation was also lively, with Daryl admitting the trappings of the holiday season like "elves and homeless Santas," freak him out, while a discussion of musical authenticity draws this priceless Shelby Lynne observation; "There's no air-conditioning for the blues." The past six years have marked a steady stream of superlatives and recognition for Live from Daryl's House, with Hall receiving a Webby Award for Best Variety series from more than 10,000 entries at the 14th annual ceremony at N.Y.'s Cipriani Wall Street before garnering an O Music Award from MTV two years ago. Along with airing every Thursday night at 11 p.m. (ET/PT) on Viacom's high-definition music channel Palladia, Live from Daryl's House is syndicated nationally by Good Cop Bad Cop Productions. Executive producers for the show include Hall along with his manager Jonathan Wolfson. The 60 previous episodes of Live From Daryl's House have featured a mix of well-known performers like Jason Mraz, The Voice's Cee Lo Green, Joe Walsh, Booker T and the MGs, Blind Boys of Alabama, Rob Thomas, Train, Smokey Robinson, The Doors' Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek, Toots Hibbert, Nick Lowe, K.T. Tunstall, Todd Rundgren, Keb Mo, Dave Stewart, Goo Goo Dolls' John Rzeznik and Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump along with newcomers such as Nick Waterhouse, Rumer, Chiddy Bang, Allen Stone, Nikki Jean, The Dirty Heads, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Mayer Hawthorne, Eric Hutchinson, Chromeo, Matt Nathanson, Parachute, Plain White T's, soul diva Sharon Jones, Diane Birch, L.A. neo-R&B party band Fitz & the Tantrums, hot new alternative band Neon Trees and veteran alternative mainstays Guster
