Simon and Garfunkel Announce North American Tour

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

The legendary duo, Simon and Garfunkel, have announced an exciting North American tour beginning in April, covering eight dates in Canada. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel began collaborating in grade school, writing their first tunes together during the doo-wop era. They formed the band Tom and Jerry, and had a hit called “Hey, Schoolgirl” in 1957.
Little did they know that the harmonies they were crafting then would eventually carry them into the prolific sixties as frontrunners of the folk phenomenon. Songs like “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Scarborough Fair,” “Mrs. Robinson,” and “Sounds of Silence” placed Simon and Garfunkel in the forefront of public consciousness, and brought success on a massive scale.
The celebrated Simon and Garfunkel have received much recognition as artists, including numerous Grammys. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and received a lifetime achievement award in 2003. With a timeless collection of enduring songs, Simon and Garfunkel are considered a cornerstone of American music.
Simon and Garfunkel will begin their tour at Jazz Fest in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 24th. They will play eight dates across Canada, concluding their tour at Bell Centre in Montreal on May 15th.
Don’t miss your chance to see the iconic folk duo live! For Simon and Garfunkel tickets, visit Ticketmaster.com or ShowTimeTickets.com, where we are never sold out.

Reba McEntire Hits the Road in March

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

As the most successful female country music artist ever, it is easy to understand how Reba McEntire gained the nickname “Queen of Country.” Over her thirty-three year career, Reba has sold more than fifty million albums, had fifty-seven top ten singles, and received the “Top Female Vocalist” award from the Academy of Country Music seven times.
Reba has seen success as an actor, author, and singer, but asserts that fame hasn’t changed her. She still sees herself as the same country girl who grew up in a rodeo family, and remains true to her roots. In an interview, Reba said. “It is real life with me. I am not the glamorous person people may think I am. People who know me know I’m not… One of the reasons my music has lasted as long as it has is because I am a person that they can relate to and my music is what they can relate to.”
Reba’s newest album, Keep on Loving You, has a contemporary sound, yet continues a theme from previous releases. Reba has always chosen to record songs that tell a story about the struggles and hardships of everyday women, and connects with her huge fan-base as she offers a message of hope to the disappointed.
Reba will be touring for Keep on Loving You beginning March 17th at South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, BC. She will play five dates in Canada, before wrapping up at the Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion in Gilford, New Hampshire on August 21st.
