Towards the end of this most recent tour, I had been speaking with Josh and he was gracious enough to agree to collaborate on a song together. I had this song I thought he would be perfect on, originally called &#8220;He Was Good To Me,&#8221; and it was about women unfortunately falling prey to men with bad intentions. He listened to it but wanted to re-do the lyrics. The song now is about how you can get in to a relationship and you are in it too deep. You gotta watch out for those situations. It&#8217;s really about thinking before you act and get too involved.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;During the creative process when Josh and I got together&nbsp;at&nbsp;<em>Chris Lord-Alge&#8217;s<\/em>&nbsp;studio and I saw Josh in the vocal booth being&nbsp;<em>Josh Todd<\/em>&nbsp;like he is on stage with&nbsp;<em>Buckcherry<\/em>&nbsp;and how in to it he was I just knew this had to be my next single. It&#8217;s a blessing for me to be able to share my art and Josh was more than gracious to help and be a part of this killer tune&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;In Deep.&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;I hope you all enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STREAM KURT DEIMER MUSIC&nbsp;<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/o4ipothbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001XpipZ2ieI0TZ66OfJ---n5xjkFHkeskcc7L6OAay1sczm8WVBGvLcpocjE4ostqlAV975AubUtBRFzVNgjTDBA8DD8Imms5Vh9VWlDYGjn9puFx1L0E7lIRBhNw2yy0dKglXgKVfMvzA0n8sbkWGm6S9eMwaGjB6SL-DOoT4ACYJkFrHkq2UAYhTOmmNWsoGaOc-sQr-JhheIDtN2EM4Qbqq-01qWEcMMXHPcwdLTFx9WyVrteIRIdKKkjvffwC_K_CAT4ERurM=&amp;c=8N64AVLsyJJYwrq_n9HQI0g2X8jJirat2bvVhmRlZZTD9wkbcfm34w==&amp;ch=8sPnNfPZKLwZFTeRilMhygpV0yVpGsG4RHKFuHq01LJGLGTNww7F0g==\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Kurt Deimer - &quot;In Deep&quot; (Official Video) featuring Josh Todd of Buckcherry [STD]\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jJ6shMHELVw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone has dreams, but not many are bold enough to truly chase them.&nbsp;<strong>Kurt Deimer<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 the distinctively deep-voiced rock singer, scene-stealing horror actor, film producer, and ambitious businessman \u2014 almost took that path himself.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A lot of people die from stress and anxiety because they\u2019re forcing themselves to do a job they don\u2019t want to do,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I was a nervous, unhappy wreck when I got into the oil business in corporate America. But I knew right away I wasn\u2019t a corporate guy. I just knew I didn\u2019t want to work 30 years to make a certain amount of money. It just didn\u2019t make sense to me.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, Deimer followed his instincts\u2014and now, in his 50s, he\u2019s releasing his debut full-length album, the expansive and cinematic rock spectacle And So It Begins\u2026&nbsp;that certainly draws on a wealth of life experience. The singer, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, was an artistic and inquisitive kid, taking piano lessons at age 7 and winding up as a first-chair percussionist at his middle school. Deimer started his first rock band at age 20 and wound up doing &#8220;a lot of partying&#8221; as a way to process intense anxiety.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I did a lot shit I shouldn\u2019t have done until I was 20,&#8221; he says. &#8220;But I knew I was gonna end up dead. I was realistic enough to know we couldn\u2019t have made it out of Cincinnati. You\u2019ve gotta go with your gut and know what you\u2019re capable of and not.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So instead of taking a possibly doomed path to rock stardom, he went a more conventional route for an ambitious young man: graduating college and launching multiple start-ups \u2014 including the oil brand Starfire, a venture that inadvertently kick-started his acting career. The company\u2019s signage wound up placed in the&nbsp;<em>John Travolta<\/em>&nbsp;action-drama&nbsp;<em>Trading Paint<\/em>, and Deimer negotiated himself a speaking role in the film, ultimately leading to a series of other roles, including a memorable spot as a gas station teller murdered by&nbsp;<em>Michael Myers<\/em>&nbsp;in the 2018&nbsp;<em>Halloween<\/em>&nbsp;reboot.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through his relationship with director-actor&nbsp;<em>Kevin Wayne<\/em>, he wound up making a crucial connection: songwriter&nbsp;<em>Ben Trexel<\/em>, who showed Deimer some of his demos and asked him to get back in the singing game. As a college English Literature major with an affinity for poetry, Deimer knew he had the lyrical chops. And together, they knocked out a string of songs that were the first seeds of what became And So It Begins\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were plenty of other major signposts that fueled his musical drive: releasing an album under the name Bald Man, linking up with world-renowned mixing engineer &amp; producer&nbsp;<em>Chris Lord-Alge<\/em>&nbsp;(Green Day, Bruce Springsteen, Guns N&#8217; Roses), launching his first tour by opening for&nbsp;<em>Geoff Tate<\/em>&nbsp;in 2021, continuing to build his acting r\u00e9sum\u00e9 (including parts in the 2024 horror-comedy&nbsp;<em>Scared to Death<\/em>&nbsp;and the upcoming Hellbilly Hollow), and recruiting the expressive guitar work of&nbsp;<em>Phil X<\/em>&nbsp;(Bon Jovi), whose playing added another layer of sophistication to the diverse range of material on And So It Begins\u2026\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phil first entered Deimer\u2019s orbit with a heavy cover of Pink Floyd\u2019s classic &#8220;Have a Cigar.&#8221; \u201cWhen I heard his solo, I was like, &#8216;Jesus,'&#8221; the singer recalls. &#8220;I kept giving him lyrics and vibes and how I thought songs should sound, and we just kept writing. The next one we did was &#8216;Naive,&#8217; and then we did &#8216;Only Time Will Tell,&#8217; and then &#8216;Live or Die,&#8217; which we wrote when we were on tour together.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album covers a ton of stylistic ground \u2014 natural for a musician interested in everything from AC\/DC to R.E.M. to Widespread Panic. It bounces from the thunderous hard rock riffs of &#8220;Naive&#8221; to the acerbic funk-metal of &#8220;Back of the School&#8221; to the &#8220;total Sunset Strip &#8217;80s vibe&#8221; of &#8220;Sunset Blvd&#8221; to the symphonic grandeur on his cover \u201cHave a Cigar,\u201d which masterfully fades into his take on The Doors single \u201cRiders on the Storm\u201d to close out the collection. One of the album\u2019s most personal centerpieces is the thunderous &#8220;Live or Die,&#8221; which chronicles a youth filled with fear \u2014 and his efforts to overcome it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Everybody\u2019s got dreams, and if they don\u2019t, they just want to exist,&#8221; he says. &#8220;We live in a free country where we\u2019re allowed to take risks, and I\u2019m kind of a risk-taker.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deimer&#8217;s winding journey and hard-hitting rock songs leave you with an overarching message of hope: It\u2019s never too late to make shit happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rock powerhouse&nbsp;KURT DEIMER&nbsp;dives headfirst into the depths of human struggle and redemption with his explosive new single&nbsp;\u201cIn Deep,\u201d&nbsp;featuring the unmistakable&nbsp;Josh Todd&nbsp;of Buckcherry.
