Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

Sons of Silver is set to release their debut full-length album, Runaway Emotions, on January 10. Infused with classic rock ‘n’ roll energy and post-punk intensity, the album combines apocalyptic themes with rallying cry lyrics. Pre-save it here: https://SonsOfSilver.lnk.to/RunawayEmotionsPS Watch the lyric video for “Running Out of Words” from Runaway Emotions here: https://youtu.be/W-9JvTghczY Earlier this year, the band sat down with music historian Matt Pinfield to discuss “Running Out of Words” and the new album’s inspiration. Hear what they shared here: https://youtu.be/ZpETqb5ukbQ?feature=shared “I think Sons of Silver’s music embodies the spirit and enduring elements of classic rock with a thoroughly modern twist and a flair for critical thinking, which is something the world certainly needs more of right now,” says Pinfield. Sons of Silver features vocalist and guitarist Pete Argyropoulos (PeteRG), drummer Marc Slutsky (Splender, Peter Murphy), keyboardist and engineer Brina Kabler, guitarist Kevin Haaland (Skillet), and bassist Adam Kury (Candlebox). “We are what we eat,” says Kury. “The record is a warning: if we continue down this path, we’re doomed,” adds Argyropoulos. “But if you look at it from a different angle, you’ll see that we share more in common than we realize, even if we focus on what separates us. At its best, rock ‘n’ roll brings us together and celebrates what we have in common.” Runaway Emotions is Sons of Silver’s first full-length album, following two EPs—2020’s Doomsday Noises (which placed three songs on the Billboard Active Rock chart) and 2022’s Ordinary Sex Appeal. The album will be released through the band’s own label, 4L Entertainment, and distributed by Universal Music Group’s Bungalow Records. Collectively, Sons of Silver’s songs have amassed over sixteen million streams and views. Self-produced by the band, the record was mixed by renowned English producer and engineer Tim Palmer, who says, “These guys epitomize the essence of classic alternative rock. Their music is fueled by both power and raw emotion, with genuinely profound lyrics.” On January 17, the band will kick off a 21-city national tour with Myles Kennedy and Tim Montana.

Rusty is a retired judge attempting a third act in life with a loving soon-to-be wife, Bea, with whom he shares both a restful home on an idyllic lake in the rural Midwest and a plaintive hope that this marriage will be his best, and his last. But the peace that's taken Rusty so long to find evaporates when Bea's young adult son, Aaron, living under their supervision while on probation for drug possession, disappears. If Aaron doesn't return soon, he will be sent back to jail. Aaron eventually turns up with a vague story about a camping trip with his troubled girlfriend, Mae, that ended in a fight and a long hitchhike home. Days later, when she still hasn't returned, suspicion falls on Aaron, and when Mae is subsequently discovered dead, Aaron is arrested and set for trial on charges of first-degree murder. Faced with few choices and even fewer hopes, Bea begs Rusty to return to court one last time, to defend her son and to save their last best hope for happiness. For Rusty, the question is not whether to defend Aaron, or whether the boy is in fact innocent-it's whether the system to which he has devoted his life can ever provide true justice for those who are presumed guilty.

JOURNEY TO AMERICA: WITH NEWT AND CALLISTA GINGRICH, which has been in production since 2023, and was secured by PBS in early 2024, celebrates the achievements of nine individuals from diverse backgrounds who pursued the American dream and contributed to the fabric of our nation -- from Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, who arrived from Italy in 1889, to Maria Daume, who was adopted from a Russian orphanage in 2002 and became the first female Marine to earn a traditional infantry title. The film celebrates their achievements in a nation that, at its best, recognizes that the ideas of freedom and opportunity are still a beacon of hope for so many who come to America.
"We are and have always been a country of immigrants," Newt Gingrich said about the series. "Immigration has become such a loaded political issue that we often lose sight of the fact that, as a country, we've significantly benefitted from the hard work and creativity of generations of immigrants who legally migrated to our country."
"JOURNEY TO AMERICA is a celebration of our diversity and a reminder that regardless of one's political ideology, we're a better country when the contributions of legal immigrants are recognized," said Callista Gingrich. "In JOURNEY TO AMERICA, we want to assure viewers that the American dream is alive and well in communities across our nation."
"We're very excited to bring this film to PBS because we hope to have this conversation with people across America, regardless of where they live, their politics, or their background," Newt Gingrich added.
"Ambassador and Speaker Gingrich have created a personal and visual essay that asks us to pause and reflect on the journeys of immigrants who have contributed so greatly to the larger American story," said Sylvia Bugg, PBS Chief Programming Executive & GM of General Audience Programming. "These are stories of hardship, challenges, creativity, perseverance, patriotism, and joy, American stories that help us better understand who we are as a nation."
