Guitar virtuoso Alastair Greene has artfully managed a dynamic solo career while contributing to the music of notable artists such as Grammy-winner Alan Parsons and soul blues Grammy nominee Sugaray Rayford. Greene's latest release, STANDING OUT LOUD, is a commanding declaration poised to solidify his position as a seasoned veteran in the blues rock world.

With STANDING OUT LOUD (his 11th solo record), Greene set out to create an honest, no-nonsense record that recalls the spirit of his favorite music from the 1960's and 70's.
For that purpose, he headed to Nashville in January 2024, knocking out eight of the album's eleven songs. His partner in this endeavor was Nashville stalwart JD Simo, who co- produced with Greene and engineered the tracks in his own House of Grease studio.

With a strong batch of original songs rooted in blues and southern rock traditions, STANDING OUT LOUD builds upon the momentum created by his critically acclaimed solo releases of recent years. "Teaming up with Ruf Records for this album feels like a natural and perfect fit for the progression of my career," says the California native and multi-charting Billboard artist that Blues Music Magazine called "a major talent in the blues-rock category."

With the album complete, Greene is itching to hit the road. His 2024 tour schedule will include festival and club dates across the U.S. and over 40 European dates. “I've toured Europe many times as the guitarist with the Alan Parsons Live Project, and I'm excited to be bringing my music to the people.”

Featuring former Pissing Razors frontman Dewey Bragg, acclaimed session/touring guitarist Mark Zavon, original Five Finger Death Punch bassist Matt Snell and Type O Negative/Danzig drummer Johnny Kelly, Kill Devil Hill deliver a crushing sound that combines a contemporary feel with a classic aesthetic that few bands today can rival. 

Dewey Bragg’s unique vocal style combines his powerful scream with an amazing sense of melody. Dewey is truly a force to be reckoned with, fronting the band with powerful conviction.

Starting at an early age he honed his vocal chops singing with numerous bands. During that time he mastered the art of entertaining an audience. Dewey recorded vocals on Pissing Razors’ “Where We Come From” in 2001, which was released on Spitfire Records.

One of the best kept secrets in the genre, Dewey is ready and able to kick ass on a whole new level.



After appearing in Guitar Player magazine’s “Spotlight” column and receiving national acclaim for his unique style and approach, Mark recorded a CD with the band Scream Parade for Shrapnel Records in the early nineties. He then joined forces with 2 close friends to form JRZ System, a funk meets hard rock instrumental band that recorded 3 CDs.

He went on to record and tour with vocalist Stephen Pearcy of Ratt, and later was asked to play several dates as a guitarist for Ratt. Mark was also the guitarist and principal songwriter for LA-based hard rock band 40 Cycle Hum, which recorded 2 CDs. He later performed with metal band WWIII featuring Mandy Lion, a band which also featured Vinny Appice and Jimmy Bain.

Recently Mark released a solo effort on EMP Label Group, the label founded by Dave Ellefson of Megadeth.

Mark brings monster riffs and powerful guitar energy to define the sound of Kill Devil Hill.



Johnny Kelly is best known for his work with the gothic metal band Type O Negative from Brooklyn, New York. He joined Type O Negative in 1994 to replace Sal Abruscato. He had previously been the band’s drum tech.

Kelly has toured with Danzig since 2002, and recorded drums for the band’s Deth Red Sabaoth album.He currently endorses Gretsch Drums, Sabian cymbals, Easton Ahead drumsticks and Evans drum heads.

Johnny and Mark met while playing Hollywood jam sessions at the now defunct Cat Club next to the Whisky on the Sunset Strip.

Johnny’s powerful, straight-ahead style is a great fit for Kill Devil Hill, and combines flawlessly with Matt’s power and finesse to form the backbone of the bands brutal rhythm section.

Holding down the low end thunder in Kill Devil Hill’s Rhythm section is bassist extraordinaire Matt Snell. Matt is best know as a founding member of active rock powerhouse Five Finger Death Punch, where his signature tone and feel helped to define what has become one of modern rock’s biggest success stories.

Matt now brings those skills to bear in the studio and on stage with Kill Devil Hill, adding enormous depth and character to the rhythm section, and breathing new life into the band. Matt is an undeniable presence at stage right, and brings the level of musicianship in KDH to the next level.
Featuring former Pissing Razors frontman Dewey Bragg, acclaimed session/touring guitarist Mark Zavon, original Five Finger Death Punch bassist Matt Snell and Type O Negative/Danzig drummer Johnny Kelly, Kill Devil Hill deliver a crushing sound that combines a contemporary feel with a classic aesthetic that few bands today can rival.

Rolling Stone

"Southern Avenue showcases the soul of Memphis...they continue to evolve and inspire. They take listeners into a world filled with stories that resonate long after the last note fades....unforgettable music [and] electric performances."



Relix

"Inquisitive and uplifting…The band’s signature whisk of roots, blues and soul stylings lean into the spirit of Memphis [and] maintain a timelessness and soul-laden delivery not unlike The Staple Singers”



Memphis-based, GRAMMY®-nominated Southern Avenue inked their first record deal with legendary
Stax Records in 2016. The first Memphis band signed to Stax in over 40 years, their self-titled debut was
an immediate phenomenon, reaching #1 on iTunes’ “Top Blues Albums” chart before being honored with
the 2018 Blues Music Award for “Best Emerging Artist Album.” 2019’s KEEP ON proved an even greater
success, debuting among the top 5 on Billboard’s “Top Blues Albums” chart amidst worldwide critical
acclaim, ultimately earning Southern Avenue their first GRAMMY® Award nomination, for “Best
Contemporary Blues Album”.
In addition to the early success that the band has had with their recordings, the band’s high energy live
show has captivated audiences around the globe. Southern Avenue has performed in 15 countries on
three continents playing top festivals and venues from coast-to-coast and across the pond.
“We’re definitely a melting pot of different experiences, different backgrounds and different cultures,”
says lead guitarist, Ori Naftaly. “It's hard to put us in a box, Southern Avenue doesn’t sound like anybody
else and that's something that I'm very proud of.”
Recently, Southern Avenue’s released their third full-length LP, Be The Love You Want (Renew
Records/BMG). Produced by Multi-GRAMMY® winner Steve Berlin (Los Lobos, Susan Tedeschi, Deer
Tick), American Songwriter called it “A potent soul force!” and No Depression proclaimed it’s “one of the
most listenable, and danceable, records of the year.”
Since this release, the band has continued its whirlwind touring schedule with recent highlights including
Bonnaroo, the Austin City Limits Festival, supporting Sheryl Crow in multiple cities and three separate
tours in Europe.
In November 2022, Southern Avenue released their latest single, a funky reinterpretation of the 1983
Genesis hit, “That’s All.” Their version gives a soulful spin to the classic track taking an already groovy
pop-rock song, and translating it into an electrifying banger driven by luscious vocal harmonies and
vintage organ and guitar tones. The song has made a positive impact across the globe, with heavy airplay
on SiriusXM Radio, across Europe and being named one of SoulTracks.com’s “Best Soul Songs of 2022.” It
is available worldwide via Color Red Music.
More recently, the highly esteemed Blues Music Foundation nominated Southern Avenue for “Band of
the Year” at the upcoming 2023 Blues Music Awards, held annually in Memphis. According to drummer
and vocalist, Tikyra Jackson, “We’re honored just to be nominated, to be included with all of these other
legendary artists. Playing music for amazing people around the world, that’s our award right there.”

Since bursting onto the Atlanta music scene, edgy and soulful, Edgewood Heavy has blazed a path all its own. Their unique genre of Rock N Soul, a term the band coined to describe their rarefied sound, is at the heart of the band's identity and musical style. The four-piece rock band led by the two dynamic, and passionate frontmen, have been likened to "a mixture of the Rolling Stones, The Black Keys, and Outkast," and have taken the nation's southeast music scene by storm. Their popularity has seen the band perform on NPR's "Sounds like ATL" segment by WABE, open for David Ryan Harris, play with lady Nicole Wray at the One Music Festival, which attracts more than 50,000 fans every year, and perform at the Wire and Wood Fest, Stone Mountain Soul Fest, and Inman Park Fest to name just a few. They have also hosted their Atlanta music festival 'Edgewoodstock' for two years and collaborated with local brewery "Soul Brothers" to create their beer, 'Edgewood Hefe.' After their debut album release, '$ex Drugs & Rock N Soul,' the band is continuing to give fans what they long for: more new music and more live shows. Coming off the heels of their ‘Electric Summer Tour’, promoting their single "Drunk" you can currently catch them on their fall tour now promoting their newest release, "500k Miles."

“Everything about Edgewood Heavy is unique, from our Rock N Soul musical style, to the way we look on stage, even the fact that all of our songs are self-produced,” explains Gio, one of Edgewood Heavy's dynamic frontmen. “Everyone these days talks about artificial intelligence, computerization, and automation, we're the opposite of that. Soul and rock music has always been about the expression of deep emotion, with no two performances of the song ever being exactly the same. That's why we only have live instruments on our album. We wanted to showcase the authenticity of what it's like to be at one of our shows.”

The Grateful Dead continue to have one of the most rabid and loyal followings of any band in history, and deservedly so: They wrote great songs, and they were excellent musicians and terrific improvisers who never played a tune the same way twice. The Stolen Faces deftly capture the spirit of the Dead, covering the band’s expansive catalog and delivering it with the sort of energy and spontaneity that might have you thinking you’re standing in the Fillmore West in 1971!
