Guitar Icon Yngwie Malmsteen Celebrates 40th Anniversary in NYC, Buffalo, Plattsburgh, and Woodstock

This fall, guitar icon Yngwie Malmsteen will kick off his 40th Anniversary Tour, taking him nationwide, with four shows in New York.

His first trip brings him to Plattsburgh at the Strand Centre on October 4th, followed by Colony Woodstock in Woodstock on the 10th. Two days later, Malmsteen will visit Buffalo’s Electric City Music Hall, with the tour concluding on November 18 at New York Cityâs Gramercy Theater.

Originally from Sweden, Yngwie Malmsteen was born into a musical family full of opera singers and classical musicians. By the age of 10, he had formed his first rock band with his childhood friend. Eventually, he began experimenting with different genres, musical styles, and techniques. Growing up, he was inspired by the unique playing styles of classical composers like Niccolo Paganini and Antonio Vivaldi, as well as the bluesy ones of Deep Purple founder and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Throughout his teen years, he combined the two genres and founded what is known as Neo-Classical Hard Rock.

In 1982, Yngwie Malmsteen came to the United States to kickstart his career. He appeared on multiple albums and performed in the hard rock band Alcatrazz. In 1984, he earned a solo deal and released his debut solo album. Rising Force. Since then, he has recorded over 22 studio albums and earned himself a reputation as one of the greatest electric guitarists of all time.

“I’m very excited to play this tour with all you guys and commemorate the launch of my solo career. It’s been an amazing journey and it still feels like it’s only beginning. I couldn’t have done it without all of you and your support throughout all these years. Looking forward to creating some magic with all of you! More is more!”

Travis Barker Introduces Run Travis Run for Same Day as blink-182 NYC Show
blink-182‘s Travis Barker is bringing his Run Travis Run: a run and wellness experience to New York City on Sunday, July 21, ahead of blink-182’s show at Citi Field later that evening.

Run Travis Run includes a morning run and wellness experience, offering attendees a 360-degree experience of health, wellness, and mindful exploration.

Following a tragic plane crash in 2008 that left Barker with severe burns and injuries, his future mobility was uncertain. After spending 11 weeks in the hospital and undergoing 27 surgeries, Barker was finally able to return home, though he faced many challenges ahead.

“After my accident in 2008, more than 70% of my body was burnt”, said Barker. “I was told by doctors that I may never be able to walk or drum again, so I set out to prove everybody wrong, including myself. What started with short walks turned into short runs every day. This past year, I ran my first half marathon and participated in a few 5Ks. The running community is massive and I loved how everyone from all walks of life ran together and supported one another. This is what Run Travis Run was built off of and we’re only getting started.”

Now in the best shape he’s been in years, Barker is looking to share his passion with the fans. Run Travis Run is coming to both New York City and Los Angeles, with the New York City event happening at Citi Field on the morning of blink-182’s One More Time Tour show in the same place that evening. The event will begin at 9:00 a.m., and athletes of all levels are invited.

Event Highlights:
- Morning Run: Join Travis Barker and fellow enthusiasts for a timed run at Citi Field in Queens, NY, at 9 a.m. Whether a seasoned runner or just starting, this event is for everyone.
- Wellness Experience: From fitness classes to mindfulness workshops, participants will have exclusive access to top brands and experiential activations throughout the morning.
- Exclusive Mementos: In addition to earning a finisher time at the end of the run, participants will receive a limited-edition shirt and medal as part of the inaugural event.
- Day-in-the-Life of Travis Barker: Experience a day-in-the-life of Blink 182’s legendary drummer by participating in Travis Barker’s pre-concert routine centered around running, health and wellness.
Tickets range from $53 for the standard “run experience” to $427.93 for the “VIP run plus meet and greet photo experience.” A virtual option is available as well. Tickets and more information can be found here.

Brooklyn Trio Gooseberry Releases Single “Dying To Meet You”

Brooklyn-based alt-rock band, Gooseberry, released their brand new song “Dying To Meet You” on Friday, June 14. This release is the second single off their forthcoming debut album All My Friends Are Cattle coming out Sept. 6.

The musical team of singer and guitarist, Asa Daniels, drummer Evin Rossington, and bassist Will Hammond return to releasing music with two EPs and a multitude of singles under their belt. Since entering the scene in 2019, the band continues to focus on writing new music and playing shows. Constantly expanding their audience in venues like Baby’s All Right and Knitting Factory, Gooseberry undoubtedly stays true to themselves and their music reflects that.

Their new song, “Dying To Meet You,” carries that ethos wholeheartedly. As Daniels put it, “Ultimately, none of us knows much about either, and so if anything, this song is about sneering at those who think they’ve got it figured out.” The song begins slowly until it escalates into the classic bold Gooseberry sound. The accompanying music video tells the story and mirrors the music’s transition through its visuals.

The song, along with their previous single “Kikiyon,” gives fans a preview of their upcoming album All My Friends Are Cattle. Tracked over three months, the band had the help of Grammy-winning engineers Colin Bryson, Phil Joly, and Jennica Best who have worked with the likes of Zach Bryan, Lana Del Rey, and Colatura respectively.

There’s something about this tune that is eerie, like something beyond explanation is peering over your shoulder waiting for you to turn your head around. For the breakdowns in this song, our producer (Colin Bryson) brought a tiny handheld distortion mic into the studio for me to scream into. And I screamed my head off. That was cathartic. Hopefully this song brings our fans catharsis. Or a sore throat.
Asa Daniels, singer
