Ted Nugent Gets Ready To ‘Shutup&Jam!’ In July
May 22, 2014
Multi-platinum guitar icon Ted Nugent returns with a new full-length album ‘Shutup&Jam!, due out July 8th on Frontiers Records.
This release marks the first all-new studio album from the Motor City Madman in seven years. Nugent leads the pack of renowned musicians, handling guitar and vocal duties, alongside bassist Greg Smith, Dokken drummer Mick Brown and longtime musical cohort guitarist/vocalist Derek St. Holmes, while special guest Sammy Hagar brings his vocal power to “She’s Gone”.
“Shutup&Jam! 2014… the unstoppable firestorm of Ted Nugent, all American MotorCity, high energy R&B&R&R soul music erupts once again with what many gungho music lovers are raving to be the best songs and best music and highest energy rock out of my insanely wonderful musical American Dream,” Nugent exclaims. “Sammy Hagar sings his balls off on ‘She’s Gone’ and Derek St. Holmes proves once again that the MotorCity produces not just the greatest guitar grind masterlicks ever but one of the most powerful soul voices of all time on ‘Everything Matters!’ Unleashing early July 2014. Read em & weep! Shutup&Jam! you know who I am, you know where I stand, so Shutup&Jam! I am!”
“When I first heard Ted’s demo of this song, I immediately responded with ‘I’m in,'” Hagar shares of his involvement on the track “She’s Gone”. “Ted’s ripping the guitar like the days of old… very inspiring to sing to a track like that-old-school blues riff, hard edged rock ‘n roll on fire!!!”
To coincide with the release of ‘Shutup&Jam!’, Nugent has announced that he’s packing up and hitting the road. On Saturday, June 7th he will join Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Volbeat and other rock titans at the Sweden Rock Festival in Solvesborg, Sweden. He’ll then prepare for his national headlining tour, kicking off July 3rd in Wichita Falls, Texas. Ticket info for all shows is available at tour.tednugent.com.

Hailing from Detroit, the guitarist’s prodigious talents, earshattering volume and over-the-top onstage antics quickly earned Young Ted the moniker of “Motor City Madman,” along with international acclaim.
