Kentucy based BLACK STONE CHERRY release today their new EP «Celebrate» via Mascot Records. The rocker also share their emotional and personal new song “Deep”. The band collaborates with the British organization “Sands”, which is helping saving babies lives and supports the struggling families.

On the personal and emotionally vulnerable lyrical content of the song, guitarist Ben Wells shares:
“‘Deep’ is a very personal song. Without sugar coating it, my wife and I have struggled with infertility for over a decade. Anyone that has been through that journey knows that it can be an absolutely helpless feeling and I sympathise with them beyond measure. Just as we were coming to peace with the fact that it wasn’t in the cards for us to be parents, we got pregnant during the writing session for this EP. However, it sadly led to a miscarriage which led to one of the darkest and lowest points we had experienced together. I usually keep things close to the chest when it comes to personal matters, but this time I felt I had to get it out and I’m so thankful for faith, love, and music in that time. I was searching for a song that said what we were feeling in those moments, but I couldn’t find it until God allowed me to let these lyrics flow out. Through it all, we continued to love and lift each other up and I’m so thankful for that. I’m so thankful that our band crafted this song, and I just know in my heart it will help others out there who also feel that life can sometimes be too Deep.”

On their partnership with the Sands charity, Ben continues:
“To be honest, I never imagined I would be writing something like this but in an effort to be fully transparent, just like our song ‘Deep’, here we are and I’m truly thankful that an organisation like Sands exists to help heal and guide those of us who have experienced something tragic like this. We are thankful for charities like Sands who can assist in being a lighthouse in a storm and helping direct our hearts to a healing place. I personally believe that God has a plan for all of us and while we may not always understand it, we have to trust it and know that Joy will be there on the other side of any dark time life gives us.”

Produced by the band themselves, Celebrate is an EP of contrasts; from a dreamily woozy, Nirvana-laced grunge singalong with ‘I’m Fine’, and personal heartache with ‘Deep’, to a curveball cover of the Simple Minds classic ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’, featuring guest vocals from old Black Stone friend Tyler Connolly (Theory Of A Deadman).

BLACK STONE CHERRY recently shared plans for a massive headline tour of Europe lasting nearly a month. The 16- date tour will call through Germany (Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Bochum, Hamburg, Cologne), Poland (Warsaw), the Czech Republic (Prague), Hungary (Budapest), Austria (Vienna), Switzerland (Bern), France (Paris), Belgium (Leuven), and the Netherlands (Breda, Groningen).

Talking about the tour, the band say:
“We cannot wait to come back to Europe and celebrate with all of our Cherry Heads across so many different countries! Touring overseas is such a thrill and exciting thing for us and we will absolutely bring the energy and vibe with us to every stop on the tour! Plus, new music!! Love you and see you soon!!”
