GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING AND ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME ICON STEVEN TYLER RELEASES FIRST SOLO ALBUM, WE’RE ALL SOMEBODY FROM SOMEWHERE JULY 15
09 JUNE 2016 (Toronto, ON) – Iconic songwriter and prolific singer
Steven Tyler revealed last week on
The Ellen DeGeneres Show that his highly-anticipated debut solo album will be released July 15 worldwide on Dot Records / Big Machine Label Group / Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Revealing the cover art while chatting with DeGeneres, Tyler shared that he co-produced the 13-track album entitled
WE'RE ALL SOMEBODY FROM SOMEWHERE, alongside legendary musicians/producers T Bone Burnett and Dann Huff in addition to Marti Frederiksen and Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three). On June 24, Tyler will release the album’s title track
“We’re All Somebody From Somewhere” at Country radio and digital retail partners everywhere.
“I headed down to Nashville last spring to start working on this project, wrote some kick ass songs with some of Music City’s finest songwriters and now we get to share them with the world on July 15,” said Tyler. “Country music is the new Rock ‘n Roll. It’s not just about porches, dogs and kicking your boots up. It's a whole lot more. It's about being real. And nothing is more real than understanding
We’re All Just Somebody From Somewhere.”
A longtime fan of the genre, Tyler’s "powerful and raw" (
Rolling Stone Country) voice first hit the Country airwaves as "Love Is Your Name” reached #1 on the Billboard Country Streaming Songs chart. He followed with the anthemic
“Red, White & You,” which
Taste of Country called “an unapologetic slice of good-time commercial country, slickly produced and with a lyric aimed squarely at the work-hard, play-hard values of country’s core audience.”
Fans across the North America can experience live versions of the new tracks, in addition to signature hits throughout the 19-city solo tour,
STEVEN TYLER’S OUT ON A LIMB. The tour will make two stops in Canada – one at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver on July 10, and one at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto on September 13. Tickets are now on sale, bringing the dynamic frontman to a series of intimate venues for a once-in-a-lifetime evening with rock royalty. Backed by his Nashville-based band, Loving Mary, the GRAMMY
® Award-winner gets up-close-and-personal like never before as he shares his real-life heartaches, trials and tribulations from his piano upbringing to worldwide fame and life with his band. In a time-travelling musical journey that spans over four decades, the industry institution does not hold back as he recounts in-depth stories of his life from his musical ancestors in Calabria, Italy all the way to Route 440 and Nashville's Country music.
