Tony Pasko / Press

“Press Release Meridian MS, March 31, 2015/ “From Out of Nowhere” is Tony Pasko’s third instrumental release following the success of his debut release “Noise” (Downboys Records 2012) and his second Christmas release “Band of Elves” (Downboys Records 2013). Tony’s music was first heard by millions on A&E’s #1 Reality T.V. Show “Duck Dynasty” which led to the “Noise” record being licensed out to many current T.V. shows; the “Band of Elves” CD was released a second time in 2014 in partnership with the “Advocates for Freedom”. “From Out of Nowhere” is more streamlined and to the point. I’ve learned so much since the “Noise” record, the biggest lesson being less is more sometimes. I LOVE the sonic structure of “Noise” and the tones I achieved on it but after almost three years, fourteen T.V. shows and hundreds of live performances, I’m in a different sonic space as an artist.”

“ The 12-song instrumental holiday CD is called "Band of Elves." The cover of the disc features Pasko's artwork — he and his band in the reflection of a Christmas ornament. It is reminiscent of the album cover for Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced" (1967). Pasko said the collection of songs is fun and light with each of the songs done in a different style. You'll hear "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" in the style of Santana, "Little Drummer Boy" in the style of Jimi Hendrix and his Band of Gypsies, a bluegrass version of "Jingle Bells," and "Auld Lang Syne" as Guns N' Roses might cover it. "It opens with "Mele Kalikimaka." It's in a style I call Don Ho meets Eddie Van Halen," Pasko said. “This project started out as a dare from my wife betting me I couldn’t play traditional Christmas songs in 12 different styles of music." Pasko said he will have copies of the CD available at tonight's concert. Also visit www.tonypasko.com. The CD is $10. ”
