Toronto Music Management Company CAMP Officially Launches
CAMP, the Toronto-based music management firm founded by Logan Kearns, made its official launch on Monday (March 28). Kearns, who landed his first industry job at Bedlam Music Management/Dine Alone Records in 2014, laid the groundwork for CAMP just two years later. He says it wasn’t until the pandemic hit, though, that he could finally dedicate his full attention to the company. “I decided it was time to focus on the growth, branding and restructuring,” he says. “Formally launching as we come out of the pandemic with an incredibly strong team of people behind it felt right. We also signed some incredible new artists during this downtime who are about to come out swinging.” One of the newest and key components of CAMP’s growing team is partner Riley Kirkwood, who started in management in 20...
UMG’s Music Health Alliance Partnership Is Literally Saving Musicians’ Lives
John Dufilho hadn’t had a routine physical in 10 years when the email from Universal Music Publishing Group arrived last fall. The film/TV composer and frontman of indie rock band The Deathray Davies worked as an independent contractor and could not afford health insurance. That changed when Dufilho, 52, learned from the email that UMPG, which handles his publishing, and parent company Universal Music Group (UMG) had partnered with Music Health Alliance (MHA), a Nashville-based nonprofit that since 2013 has saved 18,000 musicians, industry workers and their families an estimated $85 million in health care costs by helping them find insurance and navigate other healthcare issues, including counseling for survivors of the 2017 Route 91 Harvest festival mass shooting. Its services are free. D...
Kelly Clarkson Delivers a ‘Lovely’ Billie Eilish & Khalid Cover: Watch
Kelly Clarkson has become known for her show-stopping music covers on her daytime program The Kelly Clarkson Show, but her latest performance proves that there is just as much power in simplicity. In the newest installment of Kellyoke Monday (March 28), the three-time Grammy winner was accompanied only by piano and violin during her stripped-down cover of Billie Eilish and Khalid‘s “Lovely.” Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news While usually joined by her full band Y’all, Clarkson’s voice was given space to float delicately through the atmosphere this time with just the two musicians backing her up. “Isn’t it lovely all alone, heart made of glass, my mind of stone” the American Song Contest host sang, her voice soaring over a swelling violin line. “...

The Best, The Mess & The Rest: Big Ears 2022
An enormous electronic bass drop, an impossibly high falsetto run, a slinky blues guitar solo: These are your typical “holy shit” moments at popular music festivals. (Pick any one you want: At this point, they’re basically all minor variations of each other.) Here are some “holy shit” moments I experienced at Big Ears 2022: a percussion quartet abusing string instruments, a composer conducting violent jazz-metal, a “transnational” indie pop band mingling electronics with violin and pan flute. As always, there is nothing conventional about this festival, an event so wonderfully weird that lumping it in the same bracket with the world’s Coachellas feels almost insulting. Did the seventh Big Ears deliver a higher jaw-drop rate than the previous six? For me, yes, in part because of context: Th...
