Kurt Deimer has kicked off an extensive North American tour supporting BUCKCHERRY and STEEL PANTHER and to celebrate, the rising rock musician, actor, songwriter, and film producer has released his new single "Sunset Boulevard", offering another tease from his forthcoming debut album, And So It Begins..., out May 9th. "Sunset Boulevard" captures the total Sunset Strip '80s vibe of rock 'n' roll and the many artists that have inspired Deimer throughout his life. Watch the official lyric video BELOW. And So It Begins..., produced by five-time GRAMMY-winning producer Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Breaking Benjamin) and co-written with BON JOVI guitarist Phil X, includes Deimer's recent singles "Big Toe" and "Live Or Die".

"When deciding to get back into music at this time in my life, I've spent these last several years on and around Sunset Blvd," shares Deimer. "In 2019, I was out visiting LA and while standing in front of The Whisky A Go-Go, I said to myself, 'someday I am going to play here' and sure enough, I did. I've since performed at The Whisky a couple times, played The Rainbow 50th Anniversary, and I just played The Viper Room. Iconic venues on the Sunset Strip, a place that was so important to the rock and roll scene I grew up with. So, when Phil X wanted to write this song, I shared my experiences and thoughts. Phil crafted the song and lyrics as only his greatness can. This song is a tribute to the rich history of Sunset Blvd. and the musical talents of my friend Phil X who had the vision."

Deimer and his impressive band (Sammy Boller [lead guitar], Brendan Hengle [rhythm guitar], Marco Pera [bass/background vocals], and Isaiah Perez [drums]) will be showcasing the songs from And So It Begins... on the road this spring supporting BUCKCHERRY and STEEL PANTHER on a 30-date North American outing. The Northern Exposure Tour launched April 11th in Redding, California and stopped in Seattle and Spokane last weekend before crossing the border for a 5-week Canadian run, including shows in Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Thunder Bay, Hamilton, Montreal, London, Halifax, Quebec City, and Ottawa, and then officially wrapping May 18th in North Tonawanda, New York. Deimer also has a handful of tour dates opening for classic rockers TESLA coming up in June. See below for all tour dates and visit www.kurtdeimer.com for ticketing details.

In a few short years, Kurt Deimer has made a name for himself in the hard rock scene with his headbanging guitar riffs and socially conscious, anthemic lyrics. His rise in the music industry began when Brian Wheat of TESLA was so impressed by Deimer's live performance and music while watching him open for the iconic band that Wheat invited Deimer to join TESLA on the road. This opportunity fueled Deimer's passion to push his music career further, leading to the release of his debut EP, Work Hard, Rock Hard, in late 2021. The acclaimed collection - hailed by Metal-Rules as "a fierce and diverse EP with no filler songs or shortage of big riffs, blues bravado vocals, and brilliant guitar playing" and by Sonic Perspectives as "a colossal display of raw intensity" - launched the powerful musical partnership of Deimer and Phil X, combining Deimer's anthemic vocals with Phil X's thunderous riffs. Deimer has spent the last few years relentlessly touring, sharing the stage with other major acts including Geoff Tate, Drowning Pool, Skid Row, Buckcherry, and Sebastian Bach and recently appeared on the Monsters of Rock Cruise. In addition to his growing music career, the multi-talent and successful businessman is a flourishing actor, spearheading his own horror movie franchise Hellbilly Hollow as both star and producer. Deimer's acting career took off when he appeared in John Carpenter's 2018 Halloween, portraying a pivotal role alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and facing off against the infamous Michael Myers as the teller. His latest feature film is Scared To Death (2024), written and directed by music video veteran Paul Boyd (Neon Trees, Dave Stewart, Shania Twain).
