After receiving valuable feedback from the coaches on "The Voice" Season 26, Iris committed herself to refining her unique sound through intense vocal training and innovative breathing exercises. Raised on Mozart by her mother and Latin music from her father's Mexican heritage, Iris found her voice before she could even speak. Despite growing up playing sports, she pursued her musical passion, often sneaking into her school's band room to teach herself piano. Iris returns to "The Voice" in Season 27 with a renewed sense of purpose, balancing her performances at local bars among her family responsibilities. She now sees her past experience not as rejection but as a redirection, guiding her to embrace and express her authentic artistic voice.

Reading Tough Streets, Rough Skies, and Sunday Sidelines, readers may need to be reminded that it is a true story. From Larry Wansley's days as a young police detective, dodging bullets while attempting to calm the Compton (California) race riots to his leadership of a staff that identified the 9/11 hijackers, this globally respected security figure has written an action-packed recollection of his foot-to-the-pedal career. As one of the FBI's first long-term undercover agents, Wansley aided with the search for kidnapped Patty Hearst and once organized a sting operation that resulted in the recovery of $42 million in stolen property. He used so many aliases that at times he had trouble remembering who he was supposed to be. While serving as Global Security Director for American Airlines, he coordinated the numbing turmoil that came in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy and walked among those searching Ground Zero. He dealt with drug cartels, arms smugglers, a shoe bomb, and more than a few Mafia wiseguys. During his tenure as Director of Security and Counseling Services for the Dallas Cowboys, he shielded legendary Cowboys coach Tom Landry from a potential sniper hidden in the Monday Night Football crowd and spent a summer serving as pop singer Whitney Houston's bodyguard during her European tour.Written with two-time Edgar Award winner Carlton Stowers, Wansley's autobiography runs the emotional gamut from terrifying to heartbreaking to laugh-out-loud funny with the dangerous and high drama situations that are often only found in fiction.

Dr.  McManus witnessed firsthand the devastating impact that racism had on his racially, ethnically, and religiously diverse family growing up in a white flight town south of Boston. The eldest of three boys, Joe-Joe was born into a working-class family that lived in an apartment behind the local “packie” (liquor store). Shortly after his first birthday, his parents adopted five-week-old Kacey, and a few years later, their brother B-J was born. Racism became an issue early on for the McManus boys because of the reactions to Kacey, who was African American. Their family of five also experienced anti-Semitism and classism, but nothing was as insidious as the anti-Black racism that was ever present. Taught to actively oppose racism and intersecting oppressions from an early age, it became Joe-Joe’s life’s work after Kacey’s passing at only seventeen years old.  Motivated by his experiences as a father and his reflections on the challenges faced by his daughter, Makaila, Dr. Joe-Joe McManus shares heartfelt stories and actionable strategies for dismantling racism and fostering equity. He takes you by the hand and into his world which is shaped by courage, equity, and a relentless pursuit of freedom. Through deeply personal stories and groundbreaking strategies, this book illuminates how the decisions you make can either uphold or dismantle the systems that perpetuate racism.

The songs are newly written with a respectful reflection of colors from an era of music's diverse history and the precious life moments and loving relationships that have served as our hearts' inspiration," said Cafferty. The title track from the group's 1985 album, "Tough All Over" became their second # 1 on the Billboard Rock Charts and the song "C-I-T-Y" reached the Billboard Top 20. Over the years, John has placed 35 songs in major motion pictures. They included Sylvester Stallone's "Rocky "IV," and "Cobra." The Farrelly Brothers hit films "There's Something About Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber Too," & Eddie and the Cruisers I and II. The lead single from the group's upcoming album is "Day In the Sun," which was spotlighted in Peter Farrelly's film "Rick Stanicky." Here's a video link of a live performance: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1xHCR8BDus  All songs on the new release were written by Cafferty. The Rhode Island rockers put out their first "Greatest Hits" album in 2022 on Iconoclassic Records. In addition to band founder Cafferty, two original members remain in the group.
