Tonight, Kurt Deimer kicks off an extensive North American tour supporting Buckcherry and Steel Panther and to celebrate, the rising rock musician, actor, songwriter, and film producer has released his new single, “Sunset Boulevard,” offering another tease from his forthcoming debut album, And So It Begins…, out May 9.
“Sunset Boulevard” captures the total Sunset Strip ‘80s vibe of rock ‘n’ roll and the many artists that have inspired Deimer throughout his life. Stream/download the single here, and watch a lyric video below:
And So It Begins…, produced by five-time Grammy-winning producer Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Breaking Benjamin) and co-written with Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X, includes Deimer’s recent singles “Big Toe” and “Live Or Die.” Pre-save And So It Begins… on DSPs here.
“When deciding to get back into music at this time in my life, I’ve spent these last several years on and around Sunset Blvd,” shares Deimer. “In 2019, I was out visiting LA and while standing in front of The Whisky A Go-Go, I said to myself, ‘someday I am going to play here’ and sure enough, I did. I’ve since performed at The Whisky a couple times, played The Rainbow 50th Anniversary, and I just played The Viper Room. Iconic venues on the Sunset Strip, a place that was so important to the rock and roll scene I grew up with. So, when Phil X wanted to write this song, I shared my experiences and thoughts. Phil crafted the song and lyrics as only his greatness can. This song is a tribute to the rich history of Sunset Blvd. and the musical talents of my friend Phil X who had the vision.”
Everyone has dreams, but not many are bold enough to truly chase them. But Kurt Deimer followed his instincts and now, at an age when most people start thinking about slowing down, he’s releasing his double full-length debut collection via his own label, Bald Man Records. And So It Begins… draws on a wealth of life experiences from the Cincinnati native, who started his first rock band at age 20 but ended up taking a more conventional route as a young man. The 17-track versatile collection covers a ton of stylistic ground – natural for a musician interested in everything from AC/DC to R.E.M. to Widespread Panic – and offers an overarching message of optimism. “Live Or Die” is a powerful statement on living one’s truest life by taking the chances that matter most, while the moody epic “Big Toe” is a song of hope elevated by the drama of Deimer’s husky and uniquely deep register. And So It Begins… also features Deimer’s previously released singles “Dance,” “Hero” and “Fight” and a guest appearance from Queensrÿche legend Geoff Tate, with the expressive guitar work of Phil X heard throughout the expansive and cinematic rock spectacle.
