The Wallflowers are going to give it another
shot with an album and a tour this fall. The
album is called Glad All Over and will be
released October 9. The tour is supposed to
make you feel “glad all over” when Jakob
Dylan and company hit the stage in Chicago, Detroit and Columbus, Ohio on November 2, 3 and 4, respectively.

CHRIS HUPE
Nas and Lauryn Hill are teaming up for the Life is Good/Black Rage Tour beginning
late October. Nas has a new album out called Black Rage, while Hill will release a single
called “Life is Good” sometime before the tour, hence the name of the tour. Check the
superstars out November 14 at the Congress Theater in Chi-Town.
Aerosmith have announced a handful of dates for the second leg of their Global Warming
Tour. The band will release a new album, Music From Another Dimension, November 6
and will sing some of those songs, along with a lot of their classic hits, when they visit
Columbus, Ohio’s Nationwide Arena November 25. Sounds like a great way to wrap up
your Thanksgiving break.
Clutch never seems to stop touring. The band has two dates at The Machine Shop in
Flint, Michigan scheduled for Halloween night and the night after and another two dates
at Detroit’s St. Andrews Hall November 3-4. Now they have added another area date with
the announcement of their annual holiday tour. The date is at the Newport Music Hall
in Columbus December 29. On top of all that, Clutch are also working on a new album,
expected to be released early next year.
Closer to home, Snickerz Comedy Club is bringing a comedy legend to their club for one
night only. Pauly Shore is coming to town on Tuesday, October 16. A veteran of comedy
most known for his stint on MTV and movies like Encino Man, Son-in-Law and BioDome, Shore will undoubtedly be one of the biggest names to ever grace the stage of the
Fort’s only comedy club. Tickets are only $22 and will sell out well before the show.
Here’s something for the classic rockers. Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon has a new solo
album out called Six-String Soldiers. Hannon recruited legendary guitarists Dicky Betts,
Pat Travers, Rick Derringer and Y&T’s Dave Meniketti to play on the album while
completing the lineup with vocalist Jeff Sandoval and another guitarist named Mike
Araiza, a guy who won a guitar contest Hannon judged in New Mexico several years ago.
Word on the street this is a gem if you appreciate talented axe slingers.

DIGITRACKS - From Page 6
like.”
Working at Digitracks with Middleton
and his wife are producers Chad Deutsch
and Matt Riefler, along with the studio mascot, an English bulldog named Porterhouse.
Deutsch has built a reputation as a highly
respected hip-hop producer, while Riefler
dabbles in a bit of everything, readily admitting he is not drawn to any specific genre,
just good music and good musicianship. And
Porterhouse, well, he just seems to chew a
lot of things and generally have a good time
while doing it.
Of his two co-producers, Middleton
says they are both “very talented and have
brought a lot to the table.” Riefler has produced a number of albums including C-Mob
and Life After Death, while Deutsch has
worked with a lot of high profile hip-hop
and R&B musicians, including Atlantabased rapper Mike Jones.
Jones, a multi-Platinum artist, met
Deutsch while Deutsch was doing some
work in Atlanta with other artists. Jones recorded a few songs with Deutsch at the helm
and was so impressed with his work; he followed Deutsch to Fort Wayne to record his
new album at Digitracks, spending over a
week and a half in the Summit City. “All the
music on the new album was recorded here,”
says Middleton. “It should drop sometime
this year” but the release date has yet to be
determined.
Deutsch was also instrumental in the
recent Hip Hop for the City video project
which garnered some national attention. The
project featured Fort Wayne rappers representing their city in a song and YouTube video that received over 100,000 plays in just
the first few weeks of posting. “There were
over 30 rappers in the studio the day we
were recording the song,” says Middleton,
“and there were only nine parts available. It
was hard to pick which ones to include because they were all so talented.”
Middleton has some helpful hints for
anyone who wants to record a professional
CD. “First and foremost, know your sound.
Be able to tell the engineer what you want
to sound like. Second, know your songs. Be
practiced. Don’t try to figure it out in the
studio because you’re just wasting your time
and money. Third, Be open to suggestions. A
true engineer/producer is an outside person
who has an unbiased opinion of your sound.
They aren’t attached to it in any way. They
sit in front of a board every day and can
tell what works and what doesn’t. If something doesn’t sound right, be willing to try
something else. Almost one hundred percent
of the time you’ll find you will get a better
product.
ABRAMS - From Page 6
in the Top 11 round. That’s when the judges
stepped in and exercised their power, choosing to save Abrams and helping him to stick
around until the Top 6 round. That’s where
his good fortune would run out, however,
and he was eliminated at the end of April,
2011.
But Idol wasn’t done with him yet. He
came back in May to perform a duet with
Jack Black, a rollicking version of Queen’s
“Fat Bottomed Girls.” He went on the talk
show circuit, appearing on The Tonight
Show, Live with Regis and Kelly and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Through the summer
of 2011 he toured with the American Idol
LIVE! show, and in November he recorded
a version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” with
fellow Idol contestant and Chicago-area native Haley Reinhart.
It was a whirlwind, a dream, but through
it all Abrams remembered how he’d struggled, and he was determined to give something back to the people who were facing
similar struggles. He became a spokesperson for IBD Idols, an organization that aims
to raise awareness of ulcerative colitis and
Crohn’s disease. Because the diseases cause
potentially embarrassing digestive issues,
sufferers are often reluctant to talk about
their illnesses, and the public is largely unaware of how severe the diseases can be and
how sufferers can overcome their symptoms
to achieve big things. Abrams wants to help
change that.
“It sucked. It really sucked,” Abrams
said in an interview with Blogcritics of
dealing with his illness on Idol, “but it was
a dream I had to be on the stage with millions of people watching. I couldn’t let it
push me over at that moment in time. It was
really hard, harder than I think I had even
imagined. I got over it though. I’m healthy
today so that is what’s important. It’s an embarrassing thing to talk about, but I think it
needs to be talked about. It was hard even to
talk to the doctor about what was going on,
but it has to be said.”
IBD Icons is allowing Abrams to bring
inspiration to IBD sufferers at the same time
that he spreads awareness of their stories.
“The people that I’m meeting through
IBD Icons deserve the spotlight, not me,”
he says. “People know me and what I went
through with my ulcerative colitis because I
was on TV, but their stories are so inspiring,
and they deserve the recognition.”
All that aside, though, there’s music to
be made. Abrams recorded his debut album
early this year in London with producer
Martin Terefe (who’s worked with Jason
Mraz, Train, Mary J Blige and KT Tunstall,
among others).
“I walked to work every morning to
Kensaltown Studios, an amazing workshop
filled with musicians, writers and producers,” he recalls. “I buzzed the big green
door, went up three flights of stairs into the
room with the big green couches and just
chilled. It didn’t feel like I was making an

The album showcases the completeness
of Abrams’ talent; he played bass, guitar,
drums, organ and recorder on the tracks, as

Abrams is on tour now, promoting the
album, working for IBD Icons and building
a post-Idol career. Despite all the twists in
his bumpy, curvy road, Abrams just wants to
make music that people want to listen to.
“I want to make music that people love,”
he says, and that’s all there is to it.
