"Written quickly one night after having a few drinks, it was an attempt to sum up what so many of us felt during the beginning of the pandemic,” Kennedy explains. “We were bored, frustrated and self-medicating to avoid going stir crazy. What I like about the narrative, is it pushes the idea that if everything is going to hell, at least try and do it in a celebratory fashion."
Due May 14, “The Ides Of March” sees the Alter Bridge and Slash vocalist regroup with longtime friend and drummer Zia Uddin and bassist/manager Tim Tournier – who worked on Kennedy’s 2018 debut, “Year Of The Tiger” – for the 2021 record, which was recorded in Florida with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette.
“The Ides Of March” will be available in a variety of formats, including digital, CD, black and colored 2LP vinyl, including Die Hard Limited Edition and Limited Deluxe Box options available via Napalm Records.
The project has previously been previewed with an animated video for the lead single, “In Stride”, as well as the debut live performance of the song as filmed at the legendary Fox Theater in Spokane, WA.
