I started The Rock Times in 2022, partly out of necessity, as I had taken the decision to close one of the subsidiaries of Immaculate Records, Lauperland: The World's Largest Cyndi Lauper Fansite. The heart of the site was the musicians that worked with her. I am proud to have interviewed GRAMMY winner William Wittman, GRAMMY nominees Eric Bazilian & Rob Hyman (The Hooters), and GRAMMY nominee Steve Gaboury, plus Matt Katz-Bohen (Blondie), Jan Pulsford (Thompson Twins), Sue Hadjopolous (Joe Jackson), Sandy Gennaro (The Monkees), and Caitlin Kalafus (Kicking Daisies). They all agreed to have their interviews moved to The Rock Times, which formed the foundation of the site.


The Rock Times was also a natural progression from another subsidiary of Immaculate Records, Jamestown Area Entertainment New York (JAENY), a social media music magazine that I ran from 2019 to 2021. We featured dozens of live performances from local indie bands, plus the occasional visiting artist, including ACMA nominee Tom Wopat.


Since starting The Rock Times, we've done features, interviews, previews, reviews, and/or contests, with some outstanding musicians, including GRAMMY winner A Flock Of Seagulls, GRAMMY winners Shenandoah, GRAMMY nominee Men Without Hats, JUNO winner Honeymoon Suite, JUNO winner George Fox, JUNO nominee Spoons, and Princess Goes (composed of Golden Globe winner Michael C. Hall, Peter Yanowitz of The Wallflowers fame, and Katz-Bohen).


My indie record label, Immaculate Records, will be celebrating its 20th anniversary next year.


I look forward to sharing my views on current events in the music world, for headbangers, bubble gum poppers, ravers, cowboys, reggae fans and music lovers everywhere. Most importantly, I look forward to hearing from YOU, the fans, which is why I will be launching The Rock Times Forum here on the site shortly.


For the time being, you can easily sign in to respond to my blog using your Google or Facebook account, or just your email! Remember, we do not share or sell ANY of your information.


Throw your favourite album on and turn it up!


Cheers,

Curtis Newart
