Simon and Garfunkel Announce North American Tour

Lacy — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:47:41 +0000

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

Lacy — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:04:45 +0000

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.

Martina McBride on Shine All Night Tour

Lacy — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:07:08 +0000

Country music diva, Martina McBride, got a modest start on her rise to stardom. Raised on a farm in Kansas, McBride grew up in a musical household. As soon as she could talk, she was singing along with classic country tunes. By the time she was eight, she was performing on stage with her father’s country band.
McBride moved to Nashville in 1989 with one goal in mind, to make a name in the traditional country music world she had grown to love.
Her first break came while working as a roadie for Garth Brooks. Brooks promised McBride a spot as his opening act as soon as she pulled off a record deal.
McBride did just that. Her debut album, The Time Has Come, was released in 1992. That same year, she opened for Garth Brooks and various other top country acts. Critics praised the album, but it did not receive much commercial success.
McBride took a pop/country approach for her second release, a formula that has continued to work for her through nine albums. With the change in style, McBride has consistently topped the country music charts. She has been named “Female Vocalist of the Year” four times by the Country Music Association.
McBride’s latest record, Shine, is still climbing the charts. Singles from the 2009 release, “Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong” and “Ride” showcase McBride’s soprano vocals, and prove why she has come so far.
McBride will begin her Shine All Night Tour beginning March 12th at Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia. She will make four stops in Canada, with the final show taking place at Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alberta on July 31st.

U2 on 360 Degrees Tour

Lacy — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:11:44 +0000

The concept of U2 and the band itself was formed before the members of the group had much of a grasp on their instruments. In what has become a signature of the band, they realized early on that playing music is more of a platform to convey a message to an audience than it is a display of great talent.
Although they did become exceptional musically, they clung to the idea that they could use their music to spread a message. Over the years, they have donated heavily to an array of charitable groups through benefit concerts and campaigns, using their fame to highlight organizations that try to improve the world.
U2 became popular fairly quickly, but it was nearly a decade after forming that the band went global with their album, The Joshua Tree. U2 gained their fan-base through their performances, but this release earned them the commercial success that was previously amiss. The Joshua Tree has become one of the biggest selling albums ever with over twenty-five million copies sold.
The rest is history. U2 has released twelve albums, won over twenty Grammys, and played to over three million people. They have been named one of the most influential bands of all time.
U2 is currently touring the globe on their 360 Degrees Tour. When they toured in 2009, they played to sold out audiences in nearly every city. Loyal fans camped out near the arenas in hopes for an up-close experience at the front of the crowd.
U2 will wrap up the 360 Degrees Tour with dates in 2010. For a full list of dates, check the listings below. For U2 tickets, visit Ticketmaster.com or ShowTimeTickets.com, where we are never sold out.

Adam Lambert: For Your Entertainment

Lacy — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:59:36 +0000

You may know Adam Lambert as the runner-up on the 2009 season of “American Idol”, but did you know that before he went on the popular TV game-show, he had made a name for himself in Theater?

Lambert started stage acting as a child. He landed various roles over his short career, the highlights of which were performing as Joshua in “Ten Commandments: The Musical” alongside Val Kilmer, and performing as part of the “Wicked” cast in Los Angeles.

Lambert decided to take a chance on “American Idol”, and the gamble has definitely paid off. He recently signed with RCA, and his debut album, For Your Entertainment, was released in late 2009. Lambert collaborated with some big names in the pop music industry including Lady Gaga, Pink, and Linda Perry to write his songs.

For Your Entertainment is doing very well, coming in at number three on the Billboard 200. It sold nearly 200,000 copies in its first week. Songs like “Sleep Walker” and “Broken Open” highlight Lambert’s pop style and high-reaching tenor voice.

Loved for his dramatic style, Lambert does not take himself too seriously. He revels in entertaining, and is having a great time on stage.

Lambert is taking his glam-pop album on the road. He will be performing at Red Robinson Theatre in Coquitlam, BC on April 8th, and at River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, BC on April 9th. For Adam Lambert Tickets, visit ShowTimeTickets.com. And remember to check back with us for information on other upcoming concerts in your area.

Snoop Dogg Tours for Malice in Wonderland

Lacy — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:48:26 +0000

American rapper, Snoop Dogg, got his start alongside Dr. Dre in the 1992 album, The Chronic. His work on the album provided Snoop with instant fame. In a genre where the front man usually carries a bold voice, Snoop’s soft-spoken melodic style has given him staying power, and over his long career, made him a household name.
Snoop launched his debut album, Doggystyle, in 1993. The record went quadruple platinum featuring songs like “Murder Was the Case” and “Gin and Juice.”
Snoop Dogg is no stranger to controversy. Often entangled in legal issues, Snoop’s image as a hard-knock criminal turned many off, and set the violent content of his music at the center of censorship arguments. “Gangsta Rap” changed the appearance of mainstream music. Over time, the industry adapted as similar rappers emerged and became popular.
Snoop has produced over a dozen albums in his near twenty year career. His newest, Malice in Wonderland was released in late 2009.
Snoop Dogg goes on his Malice in Wonderland tour this month. He will play the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on March 7th. For Snoop Dogg tickets, visit ShowTimeTickets.com.

Canada Date:
Vancouver Snoop Dogg Tickets: Mar. 7 – Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, BC

Other Dates:
Mar. 4 – Roseland Annex, Portland, OR

Tim McGraw Goes on the Road

Lacy — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:14:24 +0000

Country music megastar, Tim McGraw, is hitting the road this month in support of his newest effort, Southern Voice. In what is being called one of McGraw’s best albums yet, Southern Voice, debuted at number two on the charts. Released in 2009, it is McGraw’s tenth original record in his seventeen year career.
McGraw moved onto the country music scene in 1993 with a self-titled debut album, but it was his second album, Not a Moment Too Soon that gained recognition from the music industry. He topped the charts with songs like “Down on the Farm” and “Don’t Take the Girl.”
Hugely popular McGraw has obtained a massive fan-base over the years. He has experienced numerous number one hits, sold over forty million albums, and been named “Top Vocalist of the Year” multiple times by the Academy of Country Music.
Tim McGraw goes on tour beginning March 6th at Dodge Arena in Hidalgo, Texas. He will make four stops in Canada, and wrap his tour on August 15th at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The Black Eyed Peas: The E.N.D. Tour

Lacy — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 19:27:31 +0000

On the heels of six Grammy nominations, The Black Eyed Peas are at the top of their game, touring through June in promotion of their fifth album, The E.N.D. The American hip-hop group formed in 1995, and after adding Fergie to the mix, went from relatively underground to widely renowned.
After two globally successful albums, band members, Fergie and Will.i.am produced solo albums, which had many speculating a possible end to the Peas. According to band member, Taboo, the title for the 2009 release is a tongue and cheek reply to all the rumors about a break-up. It is an acronym for ‘The Energy Never Dies.’
The band is definitely unified, and are more popular than ever. The E.N.D. produced two singles, “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling,” that shared the top two spots on the billboard for twenty-six weeks. “Boom Boom Pow” was also the top selling song for iTunes in 2009.
This is the first time the band will tour as headliners, and they are pulling out all the stops. For a dance-oriented band, they see this as an opportunity to make over arenas into giant club parties. As the main act, the stage is bigger and the set is longer. Fans are guaranteed to see a tremendous show.
The tour kicks off today at Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. For Black Eyed Peas tickets, visit Ticketmaster.com or ShowTimeTickets.com, where we are never sold out.

Bon Jovi Kicks Off World Tour

Lacy — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:23:16 +0000

For two and a half decades, Bon Jovi has been reaching the top of the charts. Known for their rock anthems, Bon Jovi has yielded such hits as “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.” They have renewed their sound over time, changing their musical format enough to stay on pace with the contemporary rock scene. With that, the American rockers have experienced continuous popularity since their start in the eighties.
The band proved their staying power with the energized 2000 effort, Crush. The album went double-platinum, and produced the very popular single, “It’s My Life.”
Their newest album, The Circle, was released in late 2009. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and sold 163,000 copies in its first week in the U.S. Band members call it “a return to rock,” following their country inspired, Lost Highway, released in 2007.
This, their eleventh album, consists of some heavy rock tracks, reminiscent of past hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer.”
You will not want to miss Bon Jovi, as they make their way to your city beginning this month. The Circle World Tour kicks off today at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California.
