VELVET REVOLVER Frontman Makes Surprise Club Appearance In Nashville

September 12, 2007

Singer Scott Weiland, on a day off from the VELVET REVOLVER headlining North American tour, made a special appearance September 6 at the Second Fiddle club in Nashville, performing the MARSHALL TUCKER BAND classic "Heard It In A Love Song" with country artist TOMMY JOE WILSON and his band.

Look for the George Strait-influenced WILSON to release his debut album next year on Weiland's Softdrive Records, which last fall signed a deal with Sony/RED Distribution and New West Records. This deal marks the beginning of Weiland's longtime goal to create his own label that will provide a home for artists representing all genres of music. Softdrive's artists will have all the grassroots benefits of an indie label as well as accessibility to the larger major label system. Softdrive has also partnered up with New West Records which will provide additional domestic and international distribution, manufacturing, and marketing.

The Softdrive staff is headed up by Weiland's long-time manager and business partner Dana Dufine as General Manager along with his producer partner Doug Grean. General Manager Dana Dufine notes, "Throughout Scott's extensive travels he has been witness to a wealth of talent from around the world. Softdrive will provide an outlet for an eclectic group of artists to express themselves creatively, as well as achieve their personal and professional goals. My respect for Scott both musically and as a business partner make it an honor to be partnered up with him in launching Softdrive Records."
