When Justin Townes Earle died at 38 in 2020, the Americana world was robbed of one of its brightest talents, a songwriter able to distill sadness, aspiration, and an undercurrent of alienation into vibrant, well-crafted folk songs. On Wednesday night in Nashville, those songs were brought back to vivid life during a year-delayed tribute concert to Justin.

Originally scheduled for last year on what would have been Justin’s 40th birthday but bumped until 2023 because of a surge in the pandemic, A Celebration of Justin Townes Earle gathered some of the artist’s contemporaries,...

Legendary basketball sportscaster Dick Vitale couldn’t hold back the tears on Tuesday night as he returned to the broadcast booth for the first time since being diagnosed with lymphoma. Vitale returned to ESPN to commentate on the college game between Gonzaga and UCLA and became emotional as he was introduced by his broadcast partner Dave O’Brien. “I can’t believe I’m sitting here,” said a teary-eyed Vitale, who was given the lymphoma diagnosis in October and is currently undergoing treatment. “This is really a big thrill for me,” he continued. “I want to thank all who sent me so many great messages… [ESPN president] Jimmy Pitaro, all my buddies at ESPN. I want to thank certainly my family and all the fans. My, you have been unbelievable.” We’re so happy you’re back, @DickieV #VStrongBaby pic.twitter.com/oEjtAAOi3U — ESPN (@espn) November 24, 2021 Vitale, who started his broadcast career...

The two top teams in college basketball met tonight as No. 1 Gonzaga faced No. 2 UCLA, but the highlight of the evening was legendary ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale returning to call the game after battling two separate forms of cancer this year, with his latest diagnosis coming just last month.

Before the game, Vitale said being cleared to call the contest was “the best medicine I could ask for,” and it was clear he meant it as he took the mic opposite Dave O’Brien.

“It’s great being here, Dave,” said Vitale, who was visibly emotional as O’Brien briefly introduced him. “I didn’t want to cry,” he continued, his voice cracking.

“I can’t believe I’m sitting here. This is really a big thrill for me. I want to thank all you people, sent me so many great messages. ESPN, Jimmy Pitaro, all my buddies at ESPN. I want to thank certainly,...

“Without it, efforts to resume filming, touring and live performance are doomed to failure.”

The UK government has been urged by a group of MPs to set up an emergency insurance fund that will guarantee to cover potential Covid-19 losses to enable independent film and TV production to resume.

The call comes from a select committee appointed to scrutinise the workings of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (Dcms). It has published a highly critical report into the impact of coronavirus on culture and the creative industries which said: “Government must address the urgent need for the UK...

Bela plays a small town chemist out for revenge in Jean Yarborough’s poverty row thriller for Producer’s Releasing Corporation (Prc). Lugosi’s scheme includes giant bats and aftershave lotion which should be enough to pique any movie fan’s interest. Dave O’Brien, a familiar face from Reefer Madness and a score of Pete Smith Specialties, plays the reporter on the mad scientist’s trail.

The post The Devil Bat appeared first on Trailers From Hell.

One flick that has been flying below the radar is the new indie horror effort You Are Not Alone, but that's about to change because a really creepy teaser poster for the film is here. Read on for details and eye candy.

Directed by Derek Mungor, You Are Not Alone has reached its Kickstarter goal and stars Krista Dzialosynski, David O'Brien, Mary Mikva, Keenan Camp, Nikki Pierce, Eric Wood, Tony Rossi, Katie Johnston-Smith, and Dan Abbate.

You Are Not Alone is a motion picture with two very different stories. At the forefront, this picture is about a college graduate, Natalie, reconnecting with friends and family as she visits her hometown over the Fourth of July. Over the first half of the film, she floats through the proceedings of the July 4th celebration her town is known for. The town is inundated with news about a dangerous sociopath who is...

The two hip-hop titans have announced a two-part concert event to be held at each of their hometown's own baseball stadiums. Eminem will headline a concert on Thursday (September 2) at Comerica Park in Detroit as the Tigers slug it out in Minnesota, while Jay-z will represent New York at Yankee Stadium on Monday (September 13) as the home team hits the road for Florida. The two-night concert event will be produced by Live Nation.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime set of shows and I know we're both really going to bring it to our hometowns," Eminem said in a press release.
