Solare is currently in the process of completing its first American full-length record entitled, Fireworks over a Funeral. Recorded in Dave Grohl's Studio 606 with engineer John Lousteau (Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains), the record features the mixing talents of Alan Moulder (Pink Floyd, Nine Inch Nails, My Bloody Valen...tine) and Brian Scheuble (Rachael Yamagata,Tom Petty, Dave Matthews band). The Los Angeles-based, alternative rock trio materialized out of the partnership between Joshua Johnson and Christine Bruton. The band began in earnest after Johnson returned from an intense world tour as a member of Auf der Maur (Capitol Records solo project for the former Smashing Pumpkins, Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur.) Both Bruton and Johnson write songs relating to nature and science, often referring to the sun. The name Solare encapsulates this preoccupation using the Italian word for solar and referencing the nation that spawned some of history's earliest astronomers. The music reflects the epic spirit of these themes with swirling, shoegaze guitar/synth tones along with heavily layered melodies and a thick rhythm section. As active players in the art-infused Silverlake scene, the addition of renowned drummer Tim Dow (Shiner, On, Year of the Rabbit) allows the band to stand out as unabashedly "rockist" in a predominately indie/folk environment. The group's first release, The Story of the Moon EP (2006), spawned considerable notoriety within the Southern California music scene, with tracks featured on national radio giant KROQ, as well as the influential alternative station Indie 103.1. With a feverish concert schedule, Solare has performed at some of the area's top venues including: the Troubadour, Key Club, the Viper Room, Spaceland and the House of Blues. The band has toured regionally, playing with notable acts such as Grandaddy, The Living Things, Aqualung, IO Echo and The Life and Times. After garnering a sizable online following, Solare caught the attention of Tokyo-based label Fabtone records. The label subsequently released Solare's first full-length record Theology in Japan in 2008. That year, the band was also asked to contribute the track "Daylight" to the Failure tribute record The Nurse Who Loved Me (released via Pop-Up records.)Read More

Rick Danko Authorized Biography by Carol Caffin Copyright © 1992, 2000 Carol Caffin. All Rights Reserved. Since 1965, when he and his cohorts in The Band (then called The Hawks) conspired with Bob Dylan to "go electric," Rick Danko has been an integral part of the popular music landscape. As lead singer, bassist and ...acoustic guitar player for The Band, and as a solo artist, his contributions have been substantial. Hailing from Green's Corners, about a mile and a half from the tiny rural town of Simcoe, Ontario, Rick was born into a musical family on December 29, 1943. Both of his parents and his three brothers played instruments and/or sang, and music was a way of life for him from the beginning. He listened to Hank Williams and Sam Cooke as a small child, and was "ready to go to Nashville" by the age of seven. With his oldest brother, Maurice ("Junior"), Rick sang and performed at family get-togethers and made his public debut on four-string tenor banjo before an audience of his first-grade classmates. Rick quit school at 14 to pursue music full-time and in 1960, when he was 17, he joined rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins’ group, The Hawks, initially as rhythm guitarist. He soon moved to bass, learning his instrument "one string at a time," and, with the help of the Hawks’ boogie-woogie piano player (and later, pianist for the late 1980s incarnation of The Band) Stan Szelest, whose left-hand techniques he memorized and adapted to his bass playing, began developing his trademark percussive but sliding style. Under Ronnie Hawkins’ tutelage, Rick began a three-year tenure of non-stop gigging and rigorous rehearsals that fellow Band-mate Richard Manuel once likened to "boot camp." By the time he was 20, he was a seasoned pro, having spent most of his teenage years "playing in bars that you were supposed to be 21 to play in." By the early 60s, Rick and the other Hawks had outgrown the limited roadhouse and honky-tonk circuit and left Hawkins to pursue greener pastures. Bob Dylan saw them perform in the mid-60s and was so impressed that he signed The Hawks to accompany him on his 1965-66 World Tour. The Band’s collaboration with Dylan, initially greeted with boos and catcalls around the globe, changed the course of popular music by spawning one of the most significant musical hybrids of the rock era, "Folk Rock." Rick’s penchant for musical hybrids began germinating, literally, in his own backyard in Simcoe, a town heavily populated with displaced Southern tobacco farmers. The interesting mix of Northern and Southern cultures there was later reflected in his music and is partly responsible for the occasional Southern inflection that colored some of his words. After the tumultuous world tours with Dylan (the European leg of which was documented in the obscure film Eat the Document), Rick moved from Manhattan to upstate New York, along with Dylan and the other members of the still-unnamed Band. He rented a big pink house in West Saugerties, near Woodstock, and with Dylan and The Band began recording songs which soon surfaced on bootlegs and were officially released in 1975 as The Basement Tapes. In 1968, after toying with a host of politically incorrect names, like the Crackers and the Honkies, The Band made its official debut with the release of its seminal and eclectic album, Music From Big Pink (Capitol), which became the fulcrum for the country rock and roots rock of the coming decades. The music of The Band was at once traditional and contemporary, and the combination made it timeless. In the eye of the psychedelic hurricane, The Band virtually pioneered the use of traditional instruments like mandolins, accordions and fiddles in rock & roll, and Rick Danko was one of the first non-rockabilly players to use stand-up acoustic bass on a rock record. In the midst of political unrest and the peace movement, The Band’s lyrics celebrated real life - beauty, tranquillity, nature, good sex, good friends, small town America, Southern culture - a series of themes whose influences would be felt in another musical hybrid, Americana, 25 years later. Big Pink catapulted The Band, if not to commercial superstardom, to the upper echelon of rock music. Many brows were furrowed, but accolades abounded, and even Eric Clapton cited them as a major influence and the impetus for leaving the electric power trio Cream behind to go solo. A succession of albums and tours followed and The Band, now a firm fixture in the rock aristocracy, played virtually every major festival from Woodstock to Watkins Glen. In 1976, on Thanksgiving Day, The Band officially called it quits with a farewell concert at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom. The concert, which featured an unprecedented all-star lineup to which The Band graciously played back-up, was documented in Martin Scorsese’s much lauded film, The Last Waltz, regarded by many as the finest concert film of all time. After The Last Waltz, Rick, who needed music as much as it needed him, continued to perform and record. His 1978 debut solo album, a self-titled gem which was initially overshadowed by the grandeur of The Last Waltz but has since garnered both critical and popular acclaim, marked the beginning of a very important period in Rick’s career. His transition from ensemble player to frontman seemed an easy one. Rick Danko (Arista) was not a Band album in disguise. On the contrary, it showcased his individuality--his wonderful harmonies, his mature and sensitive songwriting, his sense of humor (evidenced on the tongue-in-cheek "Java Blues"), his "less is more" approach to playing and arranging, his affinity for odd collaborations (the pairing of Eric Clapton’s electric rock guitar with Band-mate Garth Hudson’s ethereal country accordion on the Danko-penned "New Mexico"), and the strongest vocal work of his career. During the early 1980s, Rick maintained a low profile and, in 1983, reunited with The Band (minus Robbie Robertson, who pursued a solo career). During that period, he began playing acoustic guitar as well as bass onstage, and his unique style of tuning and playing (revealing the bass player in his soul) became another of his signature sounds. Throughout the 80s, never one to "sit at home," Rick continued to play solo, with The Band, in pairings with Richard Manuel, Levon Helm, Paul Butterfield, Jorma Kaukonen and others. In 1985, he appeared (with Manuel, Helm and Hudson) in a feature film, Man Outside, and in 1987, he released an instructional video, Rick Danko’s Electric Bass Techniques (Homespun). The end of the decade marked the beginning of one of the most productive phases in Rick’s life and career. In 1989, he and Band drummer/vocalist Levon Helm toured as part of Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band (Rick’s rendition of Buddy Holly’s "Raining In My Heart," which appeared on the live album Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band (Rykodisc) and features Clarence Clemons on sax, became a highlight of his live solo shows). That same year, The Band was inducted at Canada’s Juno Awards into the Hall of Fame of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. In 1990, Rick, along with Helm, Hudson, Sinead O’Connor, Van Morrison and others, appeared in Roger Waters’ The Wall concert in Berlin. In October, 1992 Rick performed with The Band at the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Tribute at Madison Square Garden and, in January, 1994, he and The Band were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The induction speech was made by long-time friend and fan, Eric Clapton. In 1991, Rick began working on a project that would become near and dear to his heart, a collaboration with Folk legend Eric Andersen and Norwegian singer/songwriter Jonas Fjeld. The almost immediate result of the trio’s collaboration was an award-winning album, Danko Fjeld Andersen (Stageway), which was honored in Norway with a Spellemans Pris (the Norwegian Grammy) for Record of the Year and was released in late 1993 by Rykodisc. The Rykodisc release was honored by AFIM (formerly NAIRD) the following year. Danko Fjeld Andersen, which contains some of Rick’s finest work, received a four-star review in Rolling Stone. 1993 proved to be a banner year for Rick. In addition to the "Trio Album," Rick and The Band recorded their first studio album in 17 years, the acclaimed Jericho (Pyramid), which featured a rootsy rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s "Atlantic City," and several original compositions. In early 1996, The Band released High On The Hog (Pyramid) and in February, 1997, Rykodisc released Ridin’ On The Blinds, the follow-up to Danko Fjeld Andersen, which was recorded in Norway in 1994. Jubilation, The Band’s third album in five years, was released on River North Records in September, 1998. In September 1999, Rick came back strong with an 11-song collection of inspired performances called Live On Breeze Hill. Rick was joined on this mostly live outing by some of the finest musicians in the business, including Band-mate Garth Hudson and long-time collaborator and Band co-producer Aaron Hurwitz. Eric Clapton said of Rick in 1999 "Rick’s singing has had a tremendous influence on me - it’s only my own humble opinion, but I think you have to be a great musician before you can sing like that." Rick’s voice indeed sounded better than ever, and he began actively promoting the CD, as well as laying down tracks for a new album (which would be released, posthumously, in August 2000 as Times Like These). On December 10, 1999, Rick Danko died as he had lived - simply, without fanfare, pomp or pretense. If the tears, prayers and tributes that followed are any indication, this country boy whose goal was to "help the neighborhood" certainly succeeded. The world is a much better place because of Rick Danko, and a much sadder one without him. Read More

July 5th- Jaime Robbie Robertson born in Toronto, Canada. Father from Toronto; mother, of Mohawk descent, born and raised on the Six Nations Reservation. 1954-57· Begins learning guitar from relatives while visiting the reservation during summer months. 1958-59· Active around Toronto in various teenage groups, includ...ing Little Caesar & The Consuls, Robbie & The Robots, and Thumper & The Trambones. 1960· Singer Ronnie Hawkins records two early Robertson songs ("Hey Boba Lu" and "Someone Like You") on his Mr. Dynamo LP. Robertson then takes over lead guitar with The Hawks at the age of 16. 1961-64· Hawkins and The Hawks (which also includes Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and Garth Hudson) tour clubs in the U.S. and Canada, and also as part of packaged shows that include acts such as Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, and Jackie Wilson. Robertson's unique guitar style on the songs "Who Do You Love" and "Come Love," on albums such as Best of Ronnie Hawkins and Mojo Man, ushers in an era of classic bluesy rock that significantly influences many musicians. 1964· On their own, The Hawks -- under the name The Canadian Squires -- release the single "Uh-Uh-Uh" backed with "Leave Me Alone " on the New York-based Ware label. The tracks are produced by R&B pioneer Henry Glover. Although The Hawks never changed their name during this period, historians speculate that label executives felt the group should establish their own reputation and distance themselves from being known as "Ronnie Hawkins' backup band," thus dubbing them The Canadian Squires. 1965· The Hawks move to the Apex label, which picks up and releases -- again under The Canadian Squires -- the "Uh-Uh-Uh"/ "Leave Me Alone" single. The Hawks become The Band and sign with Capitol Records. Their debut LP, Music From Big Pink, is released late summer. The album features now classic tunes by Robertson (including "The Weight," "Caledonia Mission" and "Chest Fever") as well as the first official version of Dylan's "I Shall Be Released." In addition to critical acclaim, the album was revered by some of the biggest names in rock, including The Beatles, Eric Clapton, and The Rolling Stones. Due to their tremendous influence on the direction of rock music, The Band becomes the first North American rock group to appear on the cover of Time magazine. Their roots-rock influence has continued to resonate with musicians ever since. 1970·71 The Band tours the U.S. and Europe. In Canada, Robertson then produces singer songwriter Jesse Winchester's eponymously titled debut album. The self title album The Band is released with timeless classics "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and "Up On Cripple Creek." Joan Baez's cover of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" peaks at #3 on Billboard's pop charts and hits #1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts. 1970- The Band's Stage Fright album, released in the summer, which hits #5 on the charts and goes gold. The title track and "The Shape I'm In" are among the standout Robertson songs. 1971- Cahoots, featuring "Life Is A Carnival," is released. The album also includes a co-write co-write with Robbie and Van Morrison of the song "4% Pantomime" The Band sets off on another U.S. tour, concluding with a New York City concert on New Year's Eve, which is recorded. 1972· Released in August, the New Year's Eve show becomes the double-album Rock of Ages and achieves gold status.

Held at the Winterland, such guest stars as Dylan, Hawkins, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Van Morrison, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and others participate. Capitol releases The Best Of The Band. 1977· Islands, the final Band studio album with Robertson, is released, featuring tracks such as "Knockin' Lost John," Robertson's first lead vocal since "To Kingdom Come" on Music From Big Pink. Robertson also produces Diamond's Love At The Greek live album. 1978· Directed by Martin Scorsese, the concert film of The Last Waltz is released to strong critical and box office response. The three-LP soundtrack also encompasses new studio tracks called "The Last Waltz Suite," which includes "Out Of The Blue," written and sung by Robertson. Another Band greatest hits album, Anthology, Vol. I, is released. 1979·80 Robertson co-stars with Gary Busey and Jodie Foster in Carny. He also co-writes, produces, and composes source music for the film.

For Scorsese's Raging Bull, Robertson creates background music and produces source music. Released is The Band's Anthology, Vol. II. 1982·86 For another Scorsese film, King Of Comedy (released the following year), Robertson serves as music producer, assembling tunes by The Pretenders, Talking Heads, Ray Charles, Rickie Lee Jones and others.

Robertson reunites with The Band (minus Helm) for the first time in a dozen years with a performance at the awards ceremony. Capitol-EMI releases To Kingdom Come, a 31-track collection of The Band's hits, album tracks, and rarities. 1991·94 Robertson co-produces his second album, Storyville, with Stephen Hague. Largely recorded in New Orleans, the album features some of the city's most respected musicians. Storyville earns Grammy® nominations for Best Rock Vocal Performance (Solo) and for Best Engineered Album. Robertson returns to his first recording home with The Band when he's signed by new Capitol Records president Gary Gersh.

Roberston headlines the festival along with numerous Native American musicians, and portions of the live performance will appear in a PBS documentary in 1998. In Rome, Robertson headlines an annual Labor Day concert festival with support acts Andrea Bocelli, Elvis Costello, and Radiohead. More than 300,000 fans attend the event. 1996· Executive soundtrack producer Robertson hears a demo of "Change The World" and sends it to Clapton as a suggestion for the soundtrack to Phenomenon, starring John Travolta. He then enlists Babyface to produce the track. "Change the World" wins 1997 Grammy® Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. 1997· Robertson receives a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Songwriters. The Classic Albums series, which airs on VH1 and BBC, explores the making of some of rock's most popular and influential records. The story behind The Band's self-titled and enormously successful sophomore LP is told through a vivid collection of performance footage and interviews with members of The Band, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and Don Was. Classic Albums: The Band is currently available on Rhino Home Video. 1998· Contact From The Underworld Of Redboy is Robertson's first album in three years. Robertson returns to the Six Nations Reservation -- where his mother was born and he spent his childhood summers -- as part of a one-hour documentary entitled Making A Noise: A Native American Journey With Robbie Robertson. Broadcast on PBS, the special takes viewers on a musical journey into the Native American heartland. Mojo magazine declares Dylan's "Royal Albert Hall" Concert "The Most Famous Bootleg Album Of All Time," upon Columbia/Legacy's release of Bob Dylan Live 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert -Bootleg Series, Vol. 4. The complete 1966 live show is remixed and remastered from the original three-track source tapes. The first disc is Dylan's solo acoustic set; the second disc features his electrifying backing band, The Hawks (minus Helm). Capturing the hostility of "folk purists" in the audience, the set includes the stomping, booing, and now-famous cry of "Judas" from one audience member - plus Dylan's caustic retort. 1999· Robertson reflects on the breakup of The Band, his solo career, and his Native American roots in VH1's Behind The Music: Robbie Robertson. 2000· Music industry legends David Geffen and Mo Ostin convince Robertson to join DreamWorks Records as Creative Executive.

Directed by Bruce McDonald (Highway 61, Hard Core Logo, Claire's Hat), the documentary traces Robertson's history from the streets of Toronto to stages around the world to his role at DreamWorks Records. The first-ever Grammy® for Native American Album of the Year is awarded to XIT (Crossing of Indian Tribes) for Gathering of Nations Pow Wow. Robertson, who presented the award along with actor Val Kilmer, played a pivotal role in garnering mainstream attention for the efforts of the Native American Music Association to secure recognition by The Recording Academy for artists in this genre. 2002· Celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Last Waltz, Robertson and Scorsese provide newly edited, never-before-released elements from The Band's final performance. In addition to a theatrical re-release (United Artists), The Last Waltz is also available as a Special Edition DVD (MGM Home Entertainment) and four-CD boxed set (Warner Bros./Rhino).
