After several years of waiting, we are beyond thrilled to announce that the new studio album by Jason Elmore & Hoodoo Witch is finally here and ready to be released into the wild!  

The new album, titled “Rise Up Lights”, is the band's 4th studio effort and is a stark departure from their previous blues-based recordings.   This is a darker-themed album, both in lyrical content and mood. It features an abundance of beautifully savage guitar and vocals by Jason as well as devastating grooves provided by Brandon Katona (bass) and Mike Talbot (drums).  ‘Rise Up Lights’ consists of 9 original songs that pay tribute to the classic eras of hard rock from the 1970s through the 1990s.   Much of the writing was done with Jason's love and fondness for Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Kings X, and Richie Kotzen, while still maintaining the originality and unique chemistry of the band itself.  Hoodoo Witch haven't abandoned their blues roots, they're just put aside for now so that the rock and roll fury may be unleashed!

The full album clocks in at 46 minutes and gets right to the point without wasting much time.   It gets in, does its job, and gets out.   Most of the songs rock hard, although there are two tracks “Burning Bridge” and “Moonbird” which are a little gentler at times and serve to give the listener a brief reprieve before the storm that follows.  Every third song is an instrumental, in which Jason pays homage to his shred guitar heroes such as Andy Timmons, Joe Satriani, and Jeff Beck.  

“Rise Up Lights” will be released worldwide for digital streaming on all platforms on October 31, 2023.  CDs will be immediately available to pre-order from the band's website and vinyl will be released sometime in mid-December.  Beginning on September 22 and continuing every two weeks until Halloween, a single will be released on all digital platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, etc., as well as 2 music videos which will be exclusive to “The Official Jason Elmore Music Channel” on YouTube, so please be sure and subscribe so you don't miss out!   Follow us on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook to keep up with the new singles as they drop.   

“Thank you all so very much for your patience, encouragement, and donations that helped to make this project see the light of day!  It's taken a lot of years and a lot of hard work and sacrifice but I got it to the point where I didn't think I could do any better.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.  As always, play the damn thing loud or just shut it down!” - Jason Elmore 

We are excited to announce that the new album has been completed, mixed, mastered, and ready for release!  All that’s left is the album artwork, new logo, and then we’ll probably release a single or two, accompanied by a music video, and then release the album as a whole shortly thereafter. It will be available to stream, download, as well as a limited run of CDs and vinyl. It’s been a couple of years in the making and the finished product is 9 songs of original rock and roll with throwbacks to the great artists, vibes, and techniques of the 1970’s-90’s. We’re dangerously close now, friends. Thank you for being patient. It will be well worth the wait! Be sure and follow us on Instagram for updates! 

Now through May 30th, order any CD or digital download through the website and we will donate 50% of all profits to the ‘K9s For Warriors Foundation’ which saves rescue dogs from high-kill shelters and trains them to be service dogs for military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and/or military sexual trauma.  This gives hope, healing, and a sense of purpose to both the veteran and the dog. 

As a bonus, if you purchase any 3 CDs or digital album downloads, you’ll receive a free copy of our live concert BluRay “Live From Planet Earth” (a $15 value).  Payment is secure through PayPal or you can mail a check if you prefer.

     We're excited to announce that we've begun recording new music to be released this year!  We've written enough songs to release a full-length album.  This one will be a bit of a departure from the blues-based material that we've showcased on our previous 3 albums.   These songs will pay homage to the hard rock sound of the late 1970's made popular by bands like AC/DC, Van Halen, Bad Company, Black Sabbath while still retaining our own musical personalities.    We love variety and will continue to write, record, and perform various styles of music in the future but this release will be unapologetically PROPER rock and roll.    Expect a few singles, released digitally, and then a full-length album which we will release on all online platforms and also a limited run of vinyl records! 

     WANT TO HELP??  We're paying for the entire project out-of-pocket during a time when we don't have as much as we'd like.   If you'd like to help us speed up the process, you can donate any amount safely and securely through PayPal by clicking the 'DONATE' button.  

     We will be making announcements as we get closer to releasing the first single.  It's gonna be a killer!!
