New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Musician, music producer, author, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and philanthropist Dave Stewart is gearing up for the August 23rd release of The Blackbird Diaries (Razor & Tie/Weapons of Mass Entertainment/Surfdog), his first album of new material in over a decade - a robust, venturous collection of songs that combines an all-star cast of collaborators and Stewart's masterful production with his already-brilliant songwriting.
Stewart recently told Billboard, "it's got this weird mixture, like an Englishman landing in a country, blues, and rock atmosphere, but it has kind of a quirky side to it too." Read the entire story here:

Featuring a co-write with Bob Dylan as well as duets with Stevie Nicks, Martina McBride, Colbie Caillat, and the Secret Sisters, The Blackbird Diaries is indeed a novel approach for Stewart: tenacious rock steeped in Americana and blues riffs with his most personal, story-driven lyrics to date. Stewart yet again proves himself to be one of the most successful and revered songwriters of all time.

Over his 30-plus year career, Stewart has amassed a tremendous body of work that has garnered him more than 100 million album sales, a Lifetime Achievement Award, numerous Grammy, MTV, and European music awards, and a reputation as one of the world's most sought-after collaborators. His current projects also include producing and co-writing new albums for Joss Stone ('LP1') and Stevie Nicks ('In Your Dreams'), co-founding the supergroup Super Heavy (with Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, A.R. Rahman), and co-writing the musical adaptation of the film Ghost, opening this summer on London's West End.
