About “Remembering The Future” There are many questions we ask ourselves as we get older. Have things changed? Have we made for ourselves the future we wanted when we were young? Is the world a better place? Did we make a difference? The answers, for some, are rarely what we want them to be but we continue on, hopefully still striving for that future we wanted when we were kids.
The hard part is not letting it get you down. I use music to keep the sadness at bay but it doesn’t always work and I fall into deep holes of blackness for a while and give up only to hear the right song at the right time and get pulled back out again to strive some more.
“Remembering The Future” is essentially a trip back in time, remembering my thoughts about the future. Where I wanted to be ten, fifteen, even twenty years from then. Remembering the wants and needs of every passing day from loves to come and loves had and lost, what will become of everyone’s future, and fighting for what you believe in, the divides that we have in the world, and the future of the planet. What would all this look like in the future?
ORLANDO, FL—PeacockSunrise Records has released a two-song extended play single from the upcoming album, Delta Tales by Sun King Rising.
The songs are Milkweed and Thistle and Free Will in China Blue, composed by singer-songwriter and keyboardist John Blangero. Both songs are upbeat Southern Soul rockers in the mold of early Joe Cocker and Elton John and the classic recordings of various 1970s Muscle Shoals and Memphis recording artists. They come complete with driving horn sections and female background vocal choruses.
Drawn from the Delta Tales CD and vinyl LP, these are songs to make listeners move and groove…and think. “My lyrics draw heavily from classic themes of sin and redemption, love and loss, triumph and tragedy, liberally sprinkled with biblical and gospel music imagery,” said Blangero. “They are evocative and mysterious while connecting with listeners on deep emotional and visceral levels.”
The b-side Free Will in China Blue is being released initially as a digital bonus track for the 10-song CD. For the LP, it replaces one of those songs, Down the Delta Road, which will serve as a digital bonus track for the LP.
Both the CD and vinyl versions of the album are to be released on October 2nd this year.

About The Event As the lockdown restrictions have been eased and we are allowed to have gatherings of up to 30 people indoors/outdoors, we would like to invite you to this first “Live in the Woods” event of 2020. We will follow the required social distancing restrictions and limit ticket sales to a maximum of 30. In our aim to support the Arts during this difficult time all proceeds of the event will go to the artist. Described by Shindig Magazine as, ‘lyrically astute and melodically inventive,’ Elfin Bow’s pastoral psych-folk holds imagery that blends her twin passions of music and art.
A strict 1970’s church upbringing that frowned upon any kind of pop music, was the catalyst for her ‘quiet rebellion,’ and she saved her pocket money to buy her own radios to listen to covertly under the covers. The discovery of trailblazers like PJ Harvey, Tori Amos and Bjork flung the door wide open for her to find her own voice.
Two successful crowdfunding campaigns enabled the release of her debut album, launched with a live session on BBC Radio Wales and a single with the Fruits de Mer Record label, recorded with the Scottish Session Symphony Orchestra.
In stage outfits that interpret her lyrics, Elfin invites moments of musical magic in venues big and small; a tin shed, living rooms, art galleries, and bookshops have been no less memorable than Theatr Clwyd, The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, the Epstein Theatre, and the Bridgewater Hall. She has performed alongside folk legends, Bonnie Dobson, Robin Williamson, and Chris Wood and had airplay on BBC 6 Music (Gideon Coe) and BBC Radio Wales (Wynne Evans, Adam Walton.) Elfin Bow returns to the Woodland Skills Centre for her first live gig since lockdown. It promises to be intimate, poignant, entertaining, and memorable.

We couldn’t be happier with Steve Bonino joining the PeacockSunrise Records (PSR) family. Steve Bonino is well respected and established in the entertainment industry as both an Actor and Musician. We are fortunate and it is a privilege to work with Steve for these many years at Melodic Revolution Records the flagship of PSR.
Steves’s first release on PSR will be his fourth solo album “The Most Beautiful Feeling” the follow up to his critically well-received album: Progress (self-released in 2016).
The Most Beautiful Feeling is Steve’s pandemic album. Written and recorded while staying safe at home, it is a stylistic departure from much of his earlier work. Introspection and quiet reflection were the motivating factors in this very personal expression.
“The Most Beautiful Feeling” will be released in early September with pre-orders becoming available on Saturday, July 10th, 2020. All pre-order will we accompanied with a free copy of “Peace Rocks” Steves debut (2012) solo album.
Steve and Nick Katona agreed that this album and any future pop-rock albums Steve produces should be released on the PeacockSunrise Records label under the artist name Steve Bonino. This will differentiate the releases from Steve’s future progressive rock work which he will continue to be released on Melodic Revolution Records under the artist name The Steve Bonino Project.
