Blueburst

RIP Glen Hansard. A hell of a songwriter. You will be missed.

Swing by substack to hear a work in progress version of one of the songs for the new album.

Full speed ahead!

Had a great time chewing the fat with the guys at the Post-Punk Heartstrings podcast. Give it a listen if you feel so inclined.

New Episode: 054- Blueburst: Craig Douglass Miller and the Long Return After more than twenty years away from releasing music, Craig Douglass Miller (The Reach, Blueburst) joins us for a candid, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about rediscovery, depression, mentorship, and finding his way back to making art. From the 90s Dallas scene and abandoned demos to a house full of guitars during COVID and the steady guidance Marty Willson-Piper, Craig traces the creative thread that runs from The Reach to Blueburst—and how he finally stepped back into the work he thought he’d left behind. Find it now wherever you fulfill your podcast listening needs!! @craiginator44 @blueburstmusic @jjsbbroadcast @jamesoanderson451 @martywillsonpiper

RIP Chuck Norris.

More actual Blueburst news later today. Watch your inbox.

Shatner was recently involved with the upcoming Nuclear Messiah album, Black Flame, and, per the record label, that seemed to spark something in him.

Their statement reads:
“When Nuclear Messiah came to life, something clicked,” Shatner said. “It wasn’t just a track—it was a doorway. It made me want to go all the way in, bring in the best metal players I could find, and create something fearless.

“I’ve spent a lifetime exploring in both reality and fiction,” said Shatner. “Now I am stepping out into the unknown once again with my new project in heavy metal. I am covering Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden as well as a number of new songs written by my team. The whole project is destined for this year. I hope you will join me in the exploration.”

The details of the forthcoming project are set to be revealed soon.

“Don’t tell me what you believe in. Show me how you treat other people and then I’ll know what you what you believe in.”
- James Tallarico

I really believe in this guy and what he’s saying and doing. He got bumped from Colbert last night due to CBS lawyers shutting it down. So this interview is only available on YouTube. I encourage you to watch. Just search Jane’s Talarico and it comes right up.

I could not agree more with his messsge, so I’m gonna break my rules/guideline about not getting political and sewing more division, and declare thst Blueburst fully endorses James Tallarico in his campaign for Senate. Because I think his message has potential to heal division rather than create more.

I know there are some out there who are gonna stop listening to ne due to this, and that’s a bummer, but I’m OK with it. In the words of a horrible country song that I can’t stand, “you’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.”

Lots more non politcal Blueburst news coming later today.
