ALBERT and JOE BOUCHARD are best known as former members of BLUE ÖYSTER CULT. The original lineup sold millions of albums for Columbia Records, with such classic songs as “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper” and the #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart “Burning for You.” They contributed to songwriting and lead vocals on some of their greatest songs, such as “Cities on Flame” and “Hot Rails to Hell.”

The Bouchards have both released new albums recently through their new imprint label Rockheart Records/Deko Entertainment. Additionally, Albert is currently working on the last installment of the Imaginos Trilogy.  Now Shock City Productions and Deko Entertainment are bringing Albert and Joe Bouchard to the UK in a stripped down environment to play you all of the Blue Öyster Cult classics like “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper,” concert staples like “Astronomy,” and new songs from Imaginos II and American Rocker.  Joe had this to say about it, “Hi friends. Albert and I are together rehearsing for our tour of the UK. Very excited! We’re going to play a mixture of everything from both our latest solo records and some of the hits. Every night is going to be different. We’re also going to tell some good stories, so you don’t want to miss those. We’ll see you on the road soon.”

In tow will be newcomer Cold Weather Company on its first ever UK tour, and a perfect fit bringing you it’s bare-bones acoustic show featuring songs from their latest release Coalescence and more.  The guys are excited about hitting the road with the Bouchard Brothers. Vocalist/keyboardist Steve Shimchick states, “We’re honored to be supporting the Bouchard Brothers and are excited to be making our UK live debut after all of these years.”  Deko Entertainment president, Bruce Pucciarello, comments on the pairing of these two Deko acts, “For me, it’s really great when Deko artists work together.  In this case, the audiences attending are about to enjoy a special, very personal concert.”  

The tour kicks off at the Hard Rock Café in Glasgow on August 9th.

JOE BOUCHARD is best known as a former member of Blue Öyster Cult. The original lineup sold millions of albums for Columbia Records, with such classic songs as “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper” and the #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart “Burning for You.” He contributed to songwriting and lead vocals on some of their greatest songs, such as “Hot Rails to Hell”.

Bouchard releases his second single “In the Golden Age,” from the forthcoming album American Rocker due out on June 3 through his brother’s (Albert Bouchard) and his imprint Rockheart Records and Deko Entertainment (ADA/Warner Music Group). Joe had this to say about the release, “ ‘In the Golden Age’ is a high energy rocker that sets the pace for the entire album. The song started out inspired by the old ‘60s TV show Route 66.  I updated the theme to be about the early shows of Blue Öyster Cult when we began playing big shows on the West Coast of the U.S.  Yes, my life in the ‘70s was an endless highway with adventures at every turn.  Ya dig?  It was all good and exciting!”

The new album American Rocker sees the return of Mickey Curry (Bryan Adams, Hall and Oates, Alice Cooper) on drums, and sees Bouchard taking a look back at the heyday of the ‘70’s with BÖC on tracks like “In the Golden Age,” and “Rocket to Fame.” As Joe states, “American Rocker is a musical journey of my life as a rock star.  I feel lucky to live a life of music, and to be fulfilling my wildest dreams.” Joe Bouchard will be joining his brother, Albert Bouchard, for select shows in North America and their first ever Bouchard Brothers UK Tour this summer.

The album is due out June 3 through his brother’s (Albert Bouchard) and his imprint Rockheart Records and Deko Entertainment (ADA/Warner Music Group). Bouchard had this to say about it, “The song ‘My Way Is the Highway’ is a dream of tour destinations while cruising down the coast as the sun sinks into the Pacific Ocean.  It is powered by the drums of Mickey Curry, and cementing the groove is brother Albert on his iconic cowbell–the original “more-cowbell man”!  This song makes you want to put the pedal to the metal while you dance to the rocking music of the 70s.”
