Introducing ZFG – the next generation of rock stars…
 
"Special" landed among the Top 10 Greatest Gainers on BOTH the Billboard Indicator & Foundations Chart!
 
Serendipitous is an adjective that describes accidentally being in the right place at the right time, like bumping into a good friend in some unusual location or finding a hundred dollar bill on the ground. The word could also be used well in describing the inception of the band ZFG. Within its ranks you’ll find seasoned songwriters and performers of which you may be familiar, but sometimes the sum of the parts is beyond expectations and lends itself to being genre defining.
 
Based in Los Angeles, CA, ZFG consists of Jules Galli on vocals, Trev Lukather on guitar, Sam Porcaro on bass and Josh Devine on drums. The members were close friends in different projects, but decided to get into the studio for fun with a new approach in mind, making music with no rules or boundaries. "Zero Fucks Given" is what they called their first day in the studio, which led to their band name ZFG. After writing and recording together on day one, the chemistry was undeniable, so the decision was made to forge their individual projects into one. By melding anthemic, hook-filled melodies within funk rock guitar riffs and groove rock beats, the band shows their ability to compact a vast array of influence and experience into a signature sound with substance, style, and soul.
 
As serendipitous as the making of the band may have been, ZFG runs with a different mindset when approaching the music they write by not restricting themselves to purely rock-style songs. ZFG’s music is infused in alternative, pop, R&B and a hybrid of other styles. ZFG's radio campaign recently launched for their single "Special" and landed #2 MOST ADDED spot on the Billboard (BDS) Mainstream Rock Indicator Chart and grabbed the coveted #1 MOST ADDED spot on the Foundations (SMR) Chart. "Special" lands among the Top 10 Greatest Gainers on BOTH the Billboard Indicator & Foundations Chart!
 
The band will embark on their first tour Spring 2019 with Adelitas Way and The Winery Dogs (dates below). Fans can get a taste of their upcoming EP with the release of a lyric video for their single, "Special"
 
 
ZFG's new EP is tentatively set for an April 2019 release and the band will hit the road in full
support worldwide.

Releasing March 31, the Eye of the Tiger Co-Writer Discusses Aliveness in Episode 2 of the Docu-Series
 
Releasing March 31, Grammy-winning musician, Jim Peterik, of The Ides Of March, Formerly of Survivor and of 38 Special Fame, will star in Episode 2 of the sensational docu-series, The Search For Aliveness. The founding member of Survivor and co-writer of one of the most inspirational songs in rock history, “Eye of the Tiger”, discusses what aliveness means to him while sharing his love of music with viewers.
 
Tuthill Corporation has produced their first Internet documentary series, The Search for Aliveness, which premiered on January 31, 2019. Tuthill, “the company with heart”, is taking a journey outside of manufacturing to explore what it means to be alive. Tuthill’s summit is to Wake the World, which is a movement of discovery: discovering that you can create the life that you want to live. Episodes of the docu-series will stream on www.thesearchforaliveness.com, YouTube, and Facebook.
 
In their Internet documentary series, The Search for Aliveness, Tuthill’s creative team – made up of Tuthill’s Sherpa of Purpose, Chad Gabriel (host and narrator), Awareness Activator, Erica Magda (director of photography), and Explorer, Vito Pellicano (creator, director, and editor) -  are currently traveling the world interviewing individuals from different backgrounds, races, cultures, etc. to see if there is commonality in aliveness. The series is still in production and is being created to encourage people to slow down and think about what makes them feel alive amidst our fast-paced lives that are full of chaos, distraction, and doubt.
 
The company began their search with a worldwide casting call, and continues to find participants around the globe to share their perspective on what aliveness means to them. Each selected participant will not only appear in the Internet docu-series, but will also be featured on The Search for Aliveness website and social media. Interviewees have shared stories of love, loss, inspiration, and motivation. All of this will be used to find basic human truths, a “recipe”, made up with ingredients contributed by those who share their stories. The docu-series has been featured in a number of publications, including: Thrive Global, Hollywood in Toto, and Deadline - Hollywood. In addition, host and narrator, Gabriel, has appeared on WCIU’s The Jam, Daily Blast Live, FOX 13’s Good Day Utah and Voice of America’s American Café, Patti Vasquez on WGN Radio, to name a few.
 
The Tuthill creative team behind The Search for Aliveness, as well as Tuthill leaders, are available for interview about the documentary series and to discuss how aliveness is an integral part of the Tuthill brand. For all press and media inquiries please contact: Laura Orrico, President of Laura Orrico Public Relations, LLC to schedule an interview (lauraorrico@gmail.com or (872) 216-3781).
 
About Tuthill Corporation: Tuthill has always been a company with heart. In our early days, we made the bricks that helped make Chicago, relying on horses to carry the clay. Some days, the heat and haul were too much for their hearts – and ours – to bear. So we created an oil pump to power a truck, saving our four-legged friends and laying the foundation for our future.

Today, we make pumps, blowers, and vacuums, daring to make them better every day. But the original pump – the heart – is still at our company’s core. We’re on a journey to become a Conscious Company, inviting the entire Tuthill community to come alive in everything we believe, say, and create. And we’re extending that invitation beyond our walls. To have a seismic impact on our world, all hearts are vital. When our hearts are awake, our energy is contagious, and we make ripples that can move millions. The world needs people who are alive from the heart. Because when we come alive, the world comes along.

We’ve lost another one. R.I.P Memphis guitarist/songwriting legend JOHN KILZER.
 
This is very sad news – he was a unique guitarist and songwriter and had a killer bluesy voice.
Folks here will know him best for the brilliant ‘Memory In The Making’ album and its sequel ‘Busman’s Holiday’.
 
John had only recently released a brand-new record ‘Scars’.
 
A very fine musical legacy has been left behind for us all to continue to enjoy.
 
From Billboard.com:
 
“John Kilzer, a singer and songwriter from Tennessee whose music career spanned 30 years and who became a pastor after undergoing drug recovery, has died. He was 62.
 
Kilzer’s death was disclosed Tuesday by St. John’s United Methodist Church in Memphis, where he served as an associate pastor for recovery ministries. A cause of death was not disclosed. The church said in a statement that it was a sudden death.
 
According to biographies on websites for the church and Archer Records, the Jackson, Tennessee-native recorded two albums under the Geffen label, “Memory in the Making” in 1988 and “Busman’s Holiday” in 1991. Roseanne Cash, Trace Adkins and Maria Muldaur recorded his songs.
 
John Kilzer and the Scars were scheduled to play at the Beale Street Music Festival in May.”
