WILLIE NELSON SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE AND WHETHER RETIREMENT WOULD EVER BE A POSSIBILITY IN THIS EXCLUSIVE FIRST-LOOK AT THE SEASON PREMIERE OF ROCK & ROLL ROAD TRIP WITH SAMMY HAGAR, AIRING SUNDAY, MAY 5 AT 8P ET


The Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar, kicks off the fourth season of the popular AXS TV series Rock & Roll Road Trip with a lively tour of Texas, visiting Billy Bob’s—The World’s Largest Honky Tonk—and taking in some local bull-riding action, before sitting down for a candid conversation and impromptu jam session with award-winning Country music icon Willie Nelson. The episode airs on Sunday, May 5, in an all-new time slot: 8pm ET/5pm PT.

In this exclusive first look, Sammy hops onboard Willy’s tour bus to talk about the highs and lows of the trailblazer’s legendary legacy. At 86 years of age, with a celebrated career spanning over six decades, Nelson continues to perform to packed crowds across the nation and has no intention of slowing down. But that hasn’t stopped people from asking him when he’s going to finally call it quits. “You hear that every day… they say that all the time,” Nelson reflects. In his trademark style, the Outlaw Country superstar serves it right back to them, as he charmingly quips, “Every time, I say, ‘Oh, this is the last one.’" Check out the clip here - https://bit.ly/2VPzMlt

TOBY KEITH DISCUSSES HIS BUSINESS VENTURES, SUPPORT FOR THE MILITARY, AND HIS STRONG WORK ETHIC ON THE BIG INTERVIEW, AIRING OCTOBER 16


The “Big Dog Daddy” rolls into the “Trailerhood” as Country icon Toby Keith sits down with Dan Rather in an all-new episode of The Big Interview on Tuesday, October 16 at 9:00 pm ET. As he prepares to celebrate the 25TH Anniversary of his signature first single “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” from his self-titled 1993 debut album—which is being re-released by Universal with a new music video and three all-new tracks—Keith joins Dan to reflect on his life and legacy as one of Country’s most beloved artists.

During the episode, Keith discusses his highly successful business ventures ranging from the popular Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill restaurant chain, to the Wild Shot Mezcal tequila company, as well as staking a claim in the Big Machine record label, which represents some of Country’s biggest names including Taylor Swift. His work ethic is second to none, and he attributes this to a childhood spent on the oilrigs in Oklahoma, where his father worked for much of his life. Additionally, Keith reflects on his deep love for the military, and performing over 200 shows for the USO; opens up about his charity, the OK Kids Korral, which helps children with cancer; gets candid about his independent political views; and shares a high-spirited tale of smoking with Willie Nelson on a tour bus during an unforgettable night in Las Vegas.

In this exclusive look at the upcoming episode, Keith talks about life on tour and the love he feels being out on the road with his band and his crew, comparing the lively atmosphere to “a big party” that he could do “year-round.” While every show is a party now, it took a lot of hard work to get there, fueled by an unstoppable ambition that drove the megastar to outwork everyone else. “I didn’t take many vacations the first 20 years of my adult life, because my head was on the line,” he explains. “When I came out and my song hit, I was doing 28, 29 shows a month because I didn’t know I was gonna get a second hit let alone an 85TH hit.” It wasn’t until he had achieved sustained success that Keith allowed himself some downtime to enjoy the fruits of his labor, as he charmingly recalls, “After about 15 years, my family finally went, ‘Hey, are we ever gonna go to DisneyWorld?’”

Are you telling boys this is what a powerful woman looks like? To me, I say no.”

For more than 50 years Haggard has been singing a style of country western music that he helped pioneer.

The episode originally aired on September 30, 2013. (“The Big Interview” episode will have additional airings on Sat., April 9 at 9 a.m. ET and Sunday, April 10 at 8 a.m. ET.)

AXS TV’S ‘THE WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS’ RETURNS FOR A FIFTH SEASON; ONE-OF-A-KIND SERIES CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

New Season Premieres Tuesday, March 24 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT 

Johnny Cash tribute by Philip Bauer

LOS ANGELES – Feb. 25, 2015 – THE WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS (WGTB) continues to lead the way in the rapidly growing tribute band industry as it heads into its fifth season on AXS TV. Since its debut, the weekly live concert series hosted and produced by Katie Daryl has boosted the careers of nearly 50 tribute bands, with some more than doubling their bookings after performing on the series. Multiple concert bookers across the country have said overall tribute band opportunities have increased 50 percent over the last 18 months, which directly coincides with WGTB, the only show on network TV that showcases this emerging trend.

THE WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS begins its fifth season Tuesday, March 24 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. The season premiere is its 50th episode and features Las Vegas’ acclaimed Frank Sinatra tribute artist Gary Anthony. WGTB is kicking off the season, paying homage to Ol’ Blue Eyes in what would have been Sinatra’s 100th year of birth. In addition to Anthony, Katie Daryl has once again booked a power-packed line-up featuring tributes to some of the most iconic bands of all time, such as Mirage (Fleetwood Mac - March 31), Natural Wonder (Stevie Wonder - April 7), Double Vision (Foreigner - April 14), Hollywood U2 (U2 - April 21) and Super Huey (Huey Lewis and the News - May 12). [Full schedule is below.]

As they prepare for their second appearance on WGTB, returning fan-favorite Hollywood U2 says they have seen their fan base and concert bookings grow tremendously since first appearing in season one. They are not alone in their success after performing on the TV concert series.

Elton John tribute artist Kenny Metcalf says he has doubled his concert bookings since he first performed in season one, while Queen tribute Queen Nation was invited to perform in front of thousands of fans at Angel Stadium of Anaheim and Journey tribute DSB was booked to play a week-long residency at the 2014 Epcot “Sounds Like Summer” concert series at Walt Disney World.

Additionally, many artists have expressed public support for THE WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS with Heart, Def Leppard, Zakk Wylde, David Bowie, and Styx each posting online to promote their respective tributes appearing on the series. Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler even took it a step further when he stopped by the show after Aerosmith tribute band Draw the Line performed in season three.

 “I am so proud of all the amazingly talented tribute bands that have performed on our show,” said Katie Daryl. “Their success is a testament to the impact THE WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS has on the music world. These bands are making noise, and the industry is listening.”

In conjunction with the live concert series, THE WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS has also produced seven digital albums titled “The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands Presented by AXS TV.” To date, the bands on these volumes have garnered over 10 thousand downloads on iTunes.

THE WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS broadcasts live Tuesday nights from the Whisky A Go Go club in West Hollywood, California and features a live audience to complete the TV concert experience. The series has had over 14 thousand attendees, distributing tickets through a number of strategic partnerships with companies such as EventBrite, Yelp, Thrillist and Mandatory.
