Steven Tyler is BACK!

Steven Tyler is back!!!

Ok, maybe not in Aerosmith touring shape just yet, but he did sing a few songs at his “Janie’s Fund” Grammy Watch Party this past Sunday night, and it sounds like his voice is making a solid comeback.

He blew out his voice singing on Aerosmith’s “Peace Out” Farewell tour, and the tour had to be cancelled as the damage to Steven’s voice was so bad.

Sounds like he’s making a comeback, though!

Damn, I love me some Steven Tyler.

Easily one of the most recognizable voices in Rock.

Oh, and he performed with one of my favorite Country singers right now- Lainey Wilson- on the iconic “Dream On”.

I am not ok right now.

That right there is a dream scenario for me.

Will Steven Tyler return to the stage with Aerosmith?

Let’s be real, probably not.

But as long as we get a little slice of Steven, we’re good.

Postmodern Jukebox Cover’s Aerosmith’s “Rag Doll” With a 1920’s Vibe!

One of my favorite things in life is Postmodern Jukebox.

They are such a talented group of musicians and vocalists, and I always love their creative takes on modern music.

I just stumbled across a recent creation of theirs which I really loved- a 1920’s Hot Jazz version of Aerosmith’s “Rag Doll” – one of my favorites from the iconic band.

And, of course, it totally works:


Pretty awesome, right?

I absolutely love this band, and ypu can go down the rabbit hole and see other great song recreations by them here: https://postmodernjukebox.com/ and on their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCORIeT1hk6tYBuntEXsguLg

Aerosmith’s Final Concert

It was announced on Friday that Aerosmith is retiring from live touring, and have cancelled the remainder of their “Peace Out” Farewell tour with The Black Crowes due to iconic lead singer Steven Tyler’s vocal chord injury.

Here’s the Official Statement:

I’ve been a lifelong fan of Aerosmith, and I can honestly say that they put on one of the best live shows EVER. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them in concert several times, and once Steven Tyler actually pulled me on stage for a second, and I’m still not over that moment.

I completely understand and respect their decision to end their touring run, but it’s also sad to see this era of live music come to an end, and it just serves as a reminder that nothing lasts forever, so if there’s an artist you really want to see live, don’t wait.

That being said, here’s a video I found of Aerosmith’s final live show, and even in their mid-seventies, they still can rock like a band half their age:


Yeah, I can totally see how Steven Tyler blew a vocal chord after that.

So impressive. It’s safe to say they left it ALL on the stage.

Here’s the full version of their final show (though they didn’t know that at the time) at UBS Arena in Elmont, NY:

As I said, the end of an era…

This band has always been so speical to me. Ever since I saw them on MTV for the first time with the “Love in an Elevator” video when I was five, I have been in love with them. The sound, the swagger, the pure rock and roll energy… little me was never the same after that.

Thank you, Aerosmith, for the amazing live music memories, and for being the best American Rock Band ever. EVER.

Kelly Clarkson Covers Aerosmith

Damn, Kelly Clarkson went and did it again.

I’m a HUGE Aerosmith fan, and I get a bit twitchy when someone attempts to properly cover anything sung by Steven Tyler. But Kelly Clarkson and that sick voice of hers just ripped out a version of Aersosmith’s 80’s Power Ballad “Angel”, and it’s something else:


Ummmmm… can she cut that as a single please?

What’s so impressive is that she’s singing all these covers on her show completely live.

No autotune, no gimmicks, just pure, raw talent from the OG American Idol winner.

Kudos Kelly!

Check out the “Kelly Clarkson Show” weekdays on NBC.

Aerosmith Farewell Tour Kickoff

Aerosmith kicked off their “Peace Out” Farewell tour with The Black Crowes in Philadelphia this past weeked at Wells Fargo Center, and like many, I was wondering how they would sound.

I mean, they’re all in their mid-70’s, and it’s not like they lived their healthiest lives, you know?

Well, you wouldn’t have guessed it watching videos of their kickoff performance.

I mean, HOT DAMN.

Think of most people in their mid-70’s.

They’re not hitting high notes on top of pianos, or doing a tenth of what these guys are doing. Or even a hundreth.

Basically, everything your doctor told you is wrong.

I’ve seen Aerosmith several times in the early 2000’s, and was blown away 20 years ago with how good they sounded. I’m just happy to see that they can still kill it onstage. Also, Steven pulled me onstage at one of those shows, and it was definitely a highlight moment for me, since I’ve been in love with him since I was 4. He is Mojo Personified.

If you want to catch them this Fall, here’s their dates:

Of course, the big question is, is it REALLY a Farewell Tour?

Or are they going to be back at it again like so many bands?

Either way, it looks like they’re leaving it all on the stage this go round.
