The International Various band VARIOUS ARTISTS will release a new album entitled ‘Steel Bars – A Rock Tribute To Michael Bolton’ on July 7, 2023 via FRONTIERS Records.Specifically, this tribute album focuses on Bolton’s earlier career, when he was known as a rock singer and features appearances by members of The Big Deal, About Us, Stormwarning, Girish And The Chronicles, Find Me, FM, and more.
The idea for “Steel Bars – A Tribute To Michael Bolton” came about when Serafino Perugino, President & Head of A&R for Frontiers Music Srl, had the idea to pull together a mix of newer vocalists on the label with established singers on the roster and have them pay tribute to an era of Bolton’s career that he is particularly fond of. And so, new names like Girish Pradhan (Girish And The Chronicles), Dave Mikulskis (a rising talent who is working with Jim Peterik), Sochan Kikon (About Us), Ana Nikolic (The Big Deal), Nevena Brankovic (The Big Deal), Santiago Ramonda (Stormwarning), Stefan Nykvist (Sarayasign), and James Robledo (Sinner’s Blood) appear alongside Steve Overland (FM), Gui Oliver (Landfall), Robbie LaBlanc (Find Me), and Ronnie Romero (Michael Schenker, Rainbow).
Each vocalist shines with their unique talent and gives their own spin to these classic songs from Bolton’s rock era.

2. Fools Game (Steve Overland)
3. How Can We Be Lovers (Dave Mikulskis)
