At last!<p>After several years of waiting, we are beyond thrilled to announce that the new studio album by Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witch is finally here and ready to be released into the wild! </p><p>The new album, titled “Rise Up Lights”, is the band's 4th studio effort and is a stark departure from their previous blues-based recordings. This is a darker-themed album, both in lyrical content and mood. It features an abundance of beautifully savage guitar and vocals by Jason as well as devastating grooves provided by Brandon Katona (bass) and Mike Talbot (drums). ‘Rise Up Lights’ consists of 9 original songs that pay tribute to the classic eras of hard rock from the 1970s through the 1990s. Much of the writing was done with Jason's love and fondness for Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Kings X, and Richie Kotzen, while still maintaining the originality and unique chemistry of the band itself. Hoodoo Witch haven't abandoned their blues roots, they're just put aside for now so that the rock and roll fury may be unleashed!</p><p>The full album clocks in at 46 minutes and gets right to the point without wasting much time. It gets in, does its job, and gets out. Most of the songs rock hard, although there are two tracks “Burning Bridge” and “Moonbird” which are a little gentler at times and serve to give the listener a brief reprieve before the storm that follows. Every third song is an instrumental, in which Jason pays homage to his shred guitar heroes such as Andy Timmons, Joe Satriani, and Jeff Beck. </p><p>“Rise Up Lights” will be released worldwide for digital streaming on all platforms on October 31, 2023. CDs will be immediately available to pre-order from the band's website and vinyl will be released sometime in mid-December. Beginning on September 22 and continuing every two weeks until Halloween, a single will be released on all digital platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, etc., as well as 2 music videos which will be exclusive to “The Official Jason Elmore Music Channel” on YouTube, so please be sure and subscribe so you don't miss out! Follow us on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook to keep up with the new singles as they drop. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>“Thank you all so very much for your patience, encouragement, and donations that helped to make this project see the light of day! It's taken a lot of years and a lot of hard work and sacrifice but I got it to the point where I didn't think I could do any better. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. As always, play the damn thing loud or just shut it down!” - Jason Elmore </p>Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witchtag:jasonelmore.net,2005:Post/70972362022-11-07T11:45:38-06:002023-05-02T22:24:53-05:0011/7/2022 - Update on the new album<p>We are excited to announce that the new album has been completed, mixed, mastered, and ready for release! All that’s left is the album artwork, new logo, and then we’ll probably release a single or two, accompanied by a music video, and then release the album as a whole shortly thereafter. It will be available to stream, download, as well as a limited run of CDs and vinyl. It’s been a couple of years in the making and the finished product is 9 songs of original rock and roll with throwbacks to the great artists, vibes, and techniques of the 1970’s-90’s. We’re dangerously close now, friends. Thank you for being patient. It will be well worth the wait! Be sure and follow us on Instagram for updates! </p>Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witchtag:jasonelmore.net,2005:Post/69749782022-05-19T11:43:38-05:002022-08-03T01:02:29-05:005/19/22 - MEMORIAL DAY SALES EVENT<p>Now through May 30th, order any CD or digital download through the website and we will donate 50% of all profits to the ‘K9s For Warriors Foundation’ which saves rescue dogs from high-kill shelters and trains them to be service dogs for military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and/or military sexual trauma.

We've written enough songs to release a full-length album. This one will be a bit of a departure from the blues-based material that we've showcased on our previous 3 albums. These songs will pay homage to the hard rock sound of the late 1970's made popular by bands like AC/DC, Van Halen, Bad Company, Black Sabbath while still retaining our own musical personalities. We love variety and will continue to write, record, and perform various styles of music in the future but this release will be unapologetically PROPER rock and roll. Expect a few singles, released digitally, and then a full-length album which we will release on all online platforms and also a limited run of vinyl records! </p>

Lots of hard rocking, Van Halen-inspired, guitar-oriented stuff has been showing itself in the newer songs. Could the next album be an all hard-rock endeavor? We'll have to just wait and see how the cookie crumbles. In the meantime, check the 'performance calendar' and come see us when you're able. We'll be busting out and tightening up the new stuff at venues that are appropriate for heavier music but we will also still be throwing down our signature blend of blues, classic soul, and rock as we always have, wherever we go. See ya out there! Please be sure and say 'howdy' if you make it out. We love to visit with our friends.

A digital download or physical copy of the CD would make a swell gift. You can order both from the 'STORE' section of our website.

Be safe, treat each other good, laugh often, and keep supporting live music! Happy Holidays and warmest regards from the entire HW crew.Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witchtag:jasonelmore.net,2005:Post/44351842016-10-24T18:46:12-05:002016-12-06T20:51:07-06:00October 24th, 2016Thanks to all of your support, our latest album "Champagne Velvet" has done exceptionally well since it's release date last month. It has enjoyed several consecutive weeks at the top position on Roots Music Report's 'blues' and 'blues/rock' charts, and has maintained the #1 position on the Texas Music Charts for 4 weeks straight. Additionally, it debuted at #13 on the Billboard Blues Chart. None of that would have been possible without your support for our work so THANK YOU!!! You can order the CD and/or a digital download of the complete album or individual songs in our 'STORE' section of the website. <br><br>We will be putting on one final CD release show at THE GUITAR SANCTUARY in McKinney, TX on November 11th.

CHEERS AND WARMEST REGARDS FROM THE ENTIRE HOODOO WITCH CREW!Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witchtag:jasonelmore.net,2005:Post/43420752016-08-25T15:50:32-05:002021-06-23T03:19:15-05:00New album!<p>Our third album, titled 'Champagne Velvet' is set for worldwide release on September 16th, 2016. This album is different from 2010's 'Upside Your Head' and 2013's 'Tell You What' in that it finds the band delving deeper into their blues, soul, and swing roots and focuses less on harder rock (there are still enough rockers to satisfy fans of that aspect of our sound though.) There are 13 original tunes, penned by Jason Elmore, and one spoken excerpt called 'The Promise...'. The mood of Champagne Velvet is a throwback to 1950's blues, swing, R&B, and country and mixes in a healthy dose of humor and double-entendre in the lyrics. </p>
<p>This album was produced by Jason alone and as a result, captures EXACTLY the sounds and feel that he was aiming for. Pre-order your copy today at the link above, and be sure to get your tickets to the official CD release party at the Kessler Theater in Dallas, TX on September 30th. You can order your tickets here:</p>

<p>Thank you for your support of Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witch and enjoy Champagne Velvet, as it takes you on a road trip from Dallas, TX to Memphis, TN with a quick detour to the west coast. Cheers!</p>Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witchtag:jasonelmore.net,2005:Post/43420742016-08-25T15:48:57-05:002016-09-26T12:27:38-05:00Archived news<p>3/24/16-- We are excited to announce that Hoodoo Witch will enter into the studio to begin production on our third album at the end of May. We'll be recording, once again, at Audio Dallas in Garland, TX with engineer Paul Osborn and releasing the album on the Underworld label. This album will be slightly different from the two previous in that it will represent the blues and soul vibes of the band more so than past efforts, which have been heavy on the rock. Make no mistake, we'll still be rocking out and it will be the same guitar-bass-drum format that you're used to but for this particular album we're going for a more raw sound and will be featuring lots of jump blues and Memphis-influenced soul/r&b. We will be recording 15 tunes, 13 of those being original numbers, and will decide which ones will make it onto the album after we've had a chance to hear how they sound. Keep checking here for updates on release dates, album title, song list, etc. Until then, cheers!! </p>
