The  South Florida Jazz Orchestra is a modern Big Band comprising some of the best jazz musicians, studio musicians, and Jazz educators in the southeastern part of the United States. Their eclectic repertoire includes many original compositions by band members, as well as classic charts from such greats as Thad Jones, Charles Mingus, John Clayton, Maria Schneider, Jim McNeely, John Fedchock, and many more, all influenced by their diverse backgrounds and experiences in the South Florida music community. In June of 2006 renowned bassist and composer, Chuck Bergeron gathered a select group of top-notch Miami-based musicians and formed the first professional jazz rehearsal big band in the Greater Miami/South Florida area. On the evening of October 4th this sixteen-piece big band took the stage at the Arturo Sandoval Jazz Club, making their first professional debut as the new South Florida Jazz Orchestra. In a town known more for its salsa music than jazz, this performance marked a bold attempt to fill a long existing void in the local jazz scene. The establishment of a professional orchestra playing traditional big band music in this community is in many ways an historic musical event. 

Lisanne Lyons teaches Studio Music and Jazz at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. She has produced two solo CD’s and two CD’s as lead soprano in the DC-based Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet, with whom she performed at major jazz festivals across the country and abroad. She also performs with “Mad Romance”, a four-voice a capella group. Lisanne is the recipient of several DownBeat awards as a jazz vocal soloist, jazz vocal choir director, and most recently as a jazz arranger. She is in demand as a performer, arranger, adjudicator and clinician. Lisanne has headlined at the Ottawa, Detroit, and Clearwater Jazz Festivals, and La Nuit du Jazz (France). She was the first to perform live the Nelson Riddle arrangements of the George Gershwin Songbook that he wrote for Ella Fitzgerald, who only recorded them. She is currently working on a new show, a tribute to the great vocalists Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, Anita O’Day, Ella Fitzgerald, and others.

The Living Earth Show is excited to present the east coast premiere of Luciano Chessa’s “Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze!” an hour-long theatrical post-minimalist composition based upon the oft-overlooked 94th chapter of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.  Written for The Living Earth Show in 2012, the piece features custom-designed quartertone instruments (a vibraphone and a guitar) to present a warped hour-long etude, interspersed with theatrical staging and textural, performance-based “interruptions.”  “Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze!” explores the distorted soundscapes of Pink Floyd and The Jesus and Mary Chain, the physical and mental endurance of Michael Gordon’s “Timber,” the seemingly indeterminate theatrical events of John Cage’s “Happenings,” and the meditations on the relationships between art and sexuality found in the works Julius Eastman.

Guitarist Travis Andrews and percussionist Andrew Meyerson are The Living Earth Show, a San Francisco-based classical duo, presenting dynamic performances of amplified, electro-acoustic contemporary chamber music.  The Living Earth Show’s upcoming season includes performances of works written for the group by such composers as Samuel Carl Adams, Timo Andres, Adrian Knight, Luciano Chessa, Dan Becker, Chris Cerrone, Nick Vasallo, Andy Akiho, Ken Ueno, Jon Russell, and Damon Waitkus. The season will also feature the United States premiere of Brian Ferneyhough’s Renvoi/Shards, composed in 2008 for quartertone vibraphone and quartertone electric guitar.

In 1966, the Beatles stopped touring. Of course, they kept making records. Really great records. They just never performed them live.

The Fab Faux picks up where the Beatles left off as live performers. The Beatles tribute–heralded as the best in the world by everyone from Rolling Stone to Paul McCartney–performs the Beatles’ latter records as faithfully to the recordings as possible. They leave the wigs at home.

The group is led by Jimmy Vivino of Conan O’Brien’s band and Will Lee of David Letterman’s. Lee is a Grammy winner and has performed with three of the Beatles. The Fab Faux is five piece–a necessity for performing the Beatles’ complex masterpieces–and brings a horn section and a string section to round it out.

It’s been a year and a half since the Fab Faux’s last visit to south Florida. In that time, their live appearances have only generated more buzz. In Los Angeles last year, Gary Oldman made a surprise appearance and introduced the band, while Bill Mayer, Bill Bob Thornton, Jeff Bridges and many more famous Beatles lovers looked on.

At their Parker Playhouse concert, the Fab Faux will perform Magical Mystery Tour in its entirety, followed by a second set of selections from other albums. The Fab Faux is the one band any Beatles fan must see. http://www.thefabfaux.com/

The Young Jazz Leaders Scholarship was established to provide financial assistance to promising young high school and college level Jazz musicians with the goal of inspiring individuals to become high achievers, developing future leaders in the community, empowering the next generation of Jazz musicians, and nurturing young fans of this artform.
 
"The story of Jazz (as is music and art) is a window to the human experience which enables each person to achieve his/her full potential. In that spirit, Jazz has the potential to inspire in the form of creativity, positive self-esteem, overcoming adversity, freedom of expression, leadership, and exceptionalism."

Makes History As The First Global Major Edm Festival To Expand To Two Weekends

Ultra Music Festival has now confirmed it will hold the 15th annual edition of its gargantuan event over two three-day weekends March 15, 16 & 17 and March 22, 23 and 24, 2013 in Miami, FL. This marks the first time ever for a major electronic dance music (EDM) festival to do so anywhere.

Having teased the world with a provocative countdown clock on its YouTube channel just days ago, Ultra Music Festival has today, October 15, shocked fans by revealing this extraordinary news right at the end of an exclusive video on UMF TV, titled “Relive The Ultra 2012 Experience.”

Shrouded in secrecy for months, the team behind Ultra Music Festival–which last year drew over 165,000 fans—is excited to unveil this news. Russell Faibisch, Co-Founder, President and CEO of the 15-year-old event says, "After an extremely successful 2012 edition of ULTRA in Miami, and the continuous overwhelming demand by disappointed fans that were unable to attend because of the early sell-out, we’ve decided to do what ULTRA has always consistently done throughout the years–pioneer and push the EDM movement forward. So we are adding a second weekend of ULTRA. This is a unique concept from anything ever done before in our space, as it will be two weekends…two unique experiences. There are A LOT of incredible plans and surprises lined up for everyone attending our 15th Year Anniversary!"

Adam Russakoff, Executive Producer, Talent Buyer and Director of Business Affairs, adds, "Being the first-ever EDM leaning festival to go two weekends just supports our position as being the preeminent forward-thinking brand in electronica. Although we are already known as having the best and most relevant talent at our events, two weekends allows us to present even more and create two separate and distinct highly unique experiences for our attendees, let alone the impact this will have on the economy in terms of jobs and other ancillary industries like hotels and transportation."

Following a recent study commissioned by Ultra Music Festival and carried out by the Washington Economics Group, which revealed the extent to which the festival boosts the city’s yearly economy, news of the double header weekend won’t solely be music to the ears of electronica fans. In fact, in 2012 alone, the three-day event injected upward of $40 million directly into the Miami-Dale economy ($79 million if factoring in indirect and induced spending). With over 60% of visitors hailing from outside Miami-Dade, the local fiscal benefits that this news brings will be unprecedented.

Tickets for both weekends go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, October 17, exclusively from www.ULTRAmusicfestival.com.

Compositions that paint an afro-cuban face with a transplanted american smile that only finds home in a jaded heart. 1,000 Fuegos presents ancestral sounds entombed by the filter of today’s modern pop perspective. All the way from Hialeah, FL – a concrete melting pot of cultures spanning from the Caribbean, South and Central America and the US- this music transcends our modern concept of diversity.
Currently residing in Portland (OR), this firey movement continues to gather local strength and support through regular performances for more than a year and will be releasing their first official EP in December (2011) including recordings from Miami *Phat Flow ( and Portland. With this EP, 1000 Fuegos will expand by performing throughout the NW and California. Recordings for a full-release begin in late October for a release in March of next year.

Friends of Music Education for Haiti, Inc. Benefit Concert 11/10/12

Friends of Music Education for Haiti, Inc. Benefit Concert
Saturday, November 10, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. SHARP
josephs 2First Presbyterian Church
1530 Hollywood Blvd
Hollywood, FL 33020

Concert tickets are $10 and are available online.

www.friendsofmusicforhaiti.org
786-288-6159/786-258-5289

Featuring the blind Haitian violinist, Romel Joseph, and his children, violinist and violist, Victoria Joseph, and pianist Bradley Joseph, this program showcases works by Chopin, Saint-Saens, Vitali, Moszkowski, Shostakovich, and selected Romel Joseph’s arrangements of traditional Haitian music.

All proceeds from this concert will go towards Friends of Music Education for Haiti’s initiatives to build Haiti’s first professional music conservatory and performing arts center for children. Romel Joseph, the Juilliard-trained Haitian violinist who survived the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, is the Executive Director of Friends of Music Education for Haiti. His remarkable ordeal captivated audiences around the world through numerous media reports in the Miami Herald, the Washington Post, London Times, CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, BBC, and CNN. Legendary musician, Stevie Wonder, honored Mr. Joseph by presenting him with his personal keyboard during a live interview on CNN.

Romel Joseph began his musical studies at the age of 13. In 1985, he was awarded a Fulbright grant to attend the Juilliard School where he received his master’s degree in violin performance. Upon his graduation, he returned to Haiti where he and his former wife later founded what was then “The Victorian School” in 1991. In 1996, he relocated to Miami, Florida, where he founded Walenstein Musical Organization. Travelling frequently between Miami and Haiti, Mr. Joseph remained actively involved in the music and educational community. He later expanded Walenstein Musical Organization, creating Walenstein Symphony Orchestra. On January 12, 2000, The Victorian School was completely destroyed by fire caused by an electrical circuit. Within two years, it opened its doors with a new name — The "NEW" Victorian School. On January 12, 2012, Mr. Joseph was severely injured under The New Victorian School, which was completely destroyed by the notorious Haiti earthquake. This tragedy renewed his sense of mission, resulting in the creation of Friends of Music Education for Haiti. Mr. Joseph currently lives in both Port-au-Prince Haiti, and Miami, Florida, and is the founder of Walenstein Musical Organization, Walenstein Symphony Orchestra, and Friends of Music Education for Haiti. All three institutions are recognized as non-profit by the state of Florida and are 501(c)3 organizations.

Victoria Joseph began her violin studies at the age of three with her father, Romel Joseph. She received her Bachelor’s in Music Performance from the University of Miami and has performed with a number of local music organizations. Ms. Joseph is currently involved with Walenstein Musical Organization, Walenstein Symphony Orchestra, The New Victorian School, and Friends of Music Education for Haiti.

Bradley Joseph began his musical studies on the violin at the age of three in 1995 under the auspices of his father, Romel Joseph. At the age of five, he added the piano to his musical training. Since that time, he has worked with several instructors including Micheline Laudun Denis of the Conservatoire National de Musique de Paris and the Ecole de Haut Perfectionnement Musical. In 2007, Mr. Joseph performed as guest solo artist with Walenstein Symphony Orchestra and in 2009 with the Holy Trinity Philharmonic Orchestra in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Bradley is currently majoring in Economics and Piano Performance at Florida International University.

Friends of Music Education for Haiti, Inc., a non-for-profit organization, was created by Romel Joseph in light of the complete destruction of The New Victorian School in Port-au-Prince, Haiti during the January 12, 2010, earthquake with renewed energy and a new dream — to expand the music section of The New Victorian School into the creation of the first Haiti Performing Arts Center as his legacy to Haiti. FMEH will contribute to the development of music education and performance opportunities for the children, youth, and interested adults of Haiti. It will also help initiate musical training in all private and public schools throughout the country, explore Haiti’s rich traditional music, and manage  the construction of the new Haiti Performing Arts Center.

“Feel the Noize” as Quiet Riot Performs Free at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek’s Nectar Lounge 10/20/12

“Feel the Noize” as Quiet Riot Performs Free at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek’s Nectar Lounge

Coconut Creek, Florida 33073

Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is offering the chance to “feel the noize” and see the rock and roll phenomenon Quiet Riot at Nectar Lounge FREE on Saturday, October 20 at 9 p.m. The Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album Metal Health.

The American heavy metal band, best known for their hit singles “Metal Health” and “Cum On Feel the Noize,” was founded in 1973 by guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Kelly Garni. The original line-up featured Rhoads and Garni with lead vocalist Kevin DuBrow and drummer Drew Forsyth. Their current lineup consists of lead vocalist Scott Vokoun, drummer Frankie Banali, bassist Chuck Wright and guitarist Alex Grossi. Quiet Riot began by regularly opening for Van Halen in several local clubs, before either act had a record deal, and the co-influence can be heard between Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen.

Metal Health’s title track had been released as the album’s first single and reached No. 31 on the charts. The song’s success could be attributed to its appearance in the 1984 movie Footloose, as well as its popularity as a heavily-rotated video on MTV. The album stormed up the U.S. charts, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times over in the process at that time.

In 1983, Quiet Riot’s second single “Cum On Feel the Noize” was released. A cover of the 1973 hit by Slade, the single spent two weeks at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was the first heavy metal song to make the top five on that chart. The success of the single helped carry the album Metal Health to the top of the Billboard album chart, making it the first American heavy metal debut album to ever reach No. 1 in the U.S. To date, the sales of Metal Health have exceeded the 10 million mark worldwide.

Quiet Riot returned to the studio to record 1984’s Condition Critical, which went on to sell over 2 million copies in the U.S. and included another chart-ready Slade cover in “Mama Weer All Crazee Now” and the self-penned “Party All Night.” The group has since gone on to release several successful albums and tour worldwide, and has been ranked on VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.”

The Italian music scene is blowing up, rich with hip, vibrant sounds. Its regional music hubs spark everything from dubbed out reggae to high-energy rock, from electronic shimmer to jazz cool. HIT Week, now in its 6th year, is a great way to enjoy new Italian popular music. Visit HITWeek.it for details about the festival.
 
Maria Germinario, aka Mama Marjas, was born in 1986 and grew up in Apulia. Gifted with a vibrant voice and with a unique low timbre, she started singing when she was 6 years old together with her family orchestra (International Band). Mama Marjas is one of the most important and promising artists of the modern reggae Italian scene. She is very young and extremely talented , self-confident, rooted in reggae culture but, at the same time, versatile thanks to her solid musical culture.
 
BoomDaBash sees the light back in 2002 as a classic jamaican sound system, founded and brought into the world by Blazon, current dj, sound engineer and producer of the quartet. Slowly BoomDaBash outline progressively changes the features, along a path of artistic development that guide him towards the realization of the first official work, "A" (2008 ELIANTO EDITIONS).

Latin funk. Fusion. Jam band. Multicultural cocktail. Afro-Latin-Baby-Makin’-Descarga-Funk. Miami’s Suenalo has been crowned the Miami New Times’ Best of Miami Awards: Best Latin Rock Band in 2005, and most recently Best Latin Band in 2011. Even the lengthy hyphenated description the band came up with themselves falls short of the true breadth of what they represent. If Suenalo’s one of a kind fusion is hard to pinpoint, it’s only because no one’s ever done anything quite like it before.

We’re very excited to welcome Brooklyn’s Rubblebucket to the Funky Biscuit on Thursday, October 25th!  Achieving widespread respect as one of the most hyped bands on the circuit by mixing psychedelic indie rock, upbeat dance and radiant, left-field arrangements, this is a band that must be seen live. The eclectic seven-piece hit the festival scene hard this year including sets at Bonnaroo and Catskill Chill, and made their debut late night TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Catch them now at the intimate Funky Biscuit before they’re filling theaters. The Resolvers will get things started with their unique brand of ‘Big Band Reggae’.

Rubblebucket: Led by the musical couple of front woman Kalmia Traver and bandleader/trumpeter Alex Toth, Rubblebucket has spent the last four years building a reputation as a band that blurs the lines between psychedelic indie rock, upbeat dance, and radiant, left-field arrangements. The band’s 2011 album “Omega La La” marked a milestone for Rubblebucket. Recorded at Plantain/DFA Studios with Producer Eric Broucek (LCD Soundsystem, Cut Copy)) the band dipped into everything from dancey indie-pop arrangements to Fela-Kuti inspired afro-beat stomps. The record has earned a wealth of praise, with Paste Magazine calling it “instrumentally rich but catchy enough to ass-kick Katy Perry off the pop charts (in a just world)—mega-melodic without sacrificing an ounce of atmosphere or creativity. Rubblebucket has graced the stage at Bonnaroo, All Good, High Sierra, moe.down, Catskill Chill, and many other festivals. In June 2012 they made their debut late night TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and they celebrated the release of a new EP “Oversaturated” in September. Video from Jimmy Kimmel Live: http://bit.ly/SAi80h | www.Rubblebucket.com

The Resolvers: Hailing from South Florida, The Resolvers play ‘Big Band Reggae.’ As the name implies, the new sound draws influences from classic Jamaican Reggae, Rocksteady and Ska along with American Rock, Jazz, Funk and Soul. Their live show has been described as explosive with up to ten musicians on stage including five singers and the “Dirty Hamsa Horn Stars”, a powerful four-piece horn section. Each individual member brings their personal influences and inspirations to the collective sound. To brother & sister vocalists Ojay and Sahara Smith, reggae music is a family legacy. Their father, Ernie Smith, is the well-known Jamaican reggae singer who penned classics such as "Duppy Gunman" and “Bend Down”, among others. The Resolvers new album, Big Band Reggae (March 2012) debuted at Number 5 on the Billboard Reggae Charts and completely erases any notion of what you thought reggae music was capable of. The Resolvers have shared the stage with The Wailers, Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, Inner Circle, Yellowman and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry along many other world renowned acts in major International festivals such as Marley Fest, Jamaican Jazz & Blues Fest, SunFest, AURA Music & Arts Festival, Dub Fest and more. www.TheResolvers.com

For nearly 50 years, GILBERTO GIL has invented, innovated and reprocessed music in Brazil.  From the young bossa-nova musician, to the musical groundbreaker of the Tropicalia era, to the artist who made a perfect marriage between Brazil and Jamaican reggae, to the pop star who embraced rock and electronica, Gil’s music has encompassed everything from baião and samba to MPB, reggae, afoxé, and axé. His strength lies in his compositions, voice and guitar mastery. He has been awarded several GRAMMY awards and other major honors for a career that continues to flourish. Gil’s years of activism came to a pinnacle when he was named Brazil’s Minister of Culture in 2003, where he helped moved Brazilian culture into even greater international prominence. This fall, Gil is co-curating "Voices of Latin America" series at New York’s Carnegie Hall.  He celebrates his 70th birthday this year.
 
Gilberto Gil has been an important part of the Rhythm Foundation’s history.  We have presented his captivating performances many times, including our inaugural season in 1988.
 
This special event is presented with major support from Espirito Santo Bank, Baptist Health, and AmericanAirlines.  DJ Da Lua is presented with support from The Sofi Group.  The open bar is presented with support from Kaufman & Rossin PA, and the catering is presented with support from Passport Miami.  Additional support is received from Leblon Cachaca, Heineken USA, Zonin Prosecco, Miami Magazine, Centro Cultural Brasil USA and our members.

2012 Blues Music Awards Winner Tedeschi Trucks Band Headlines The Inaugural Sunshine Blues Festival

Winner of four Blues Music Awards and a Grammy Award for “Best Blues Album” the Tedeschi Trucks Band will headline the inaugural Sunshine Blues Festival in Florida, playing three dates in the state.  Featuring two stages of live bands, the Festival will make its debut at Centennial Park in Fort Myers, Friday, January 18, 2013, with music starting at 12:30PM.  Then, Saturday, January 19, 2013, with music starting at 11AM, it comes to Mizner Park Amphitheater, Boca Raton in South Florida and finally Sunday, January 20, 2013, with music starting at 10:45AM, at Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg in the Tampa Bay Area.

“The Blues is where it all began for Modern Music in America,” says Neil Jacobsen, President – Live Nation Florida.  “Putting this show together has been a labor of love and we are very excited to bring a world class Blues Festival to Florida as an annual event.”

It has been an amazing year for the Tedeschi Trucks Band or TTB as their loyal fans prefer to call them.  In February their album Revelator won the Grammy Award for “Best Blues Album.”  Then in July they dominated the Blues Music Awards (formerly the WC Handy Awards) where they won not only Album of the Year, but also took home trophies for Band of the Year, Gibson Guitar Award (Derek Trucks) and Contemporary Blues Female Artist (Susan Tedeschi).  True to Truck’s promise, the album delivered a collection of blues-dipped rockers and heart stirring ballads in which the echoes of so many great traditions flowed together naturally, blending with an entirely original, modern sensibility. Critically acclaimed as a 4 Star “masterpiece” by Rolling Stone magazine and simply “Outstanding” by USA Today, Revelator broke into the Billboard Top 200 chart at #12, bringing both artists to their highest first week sales and charting of their careers. Their second album, Everybody’s Talkin’ is a double live disc recorded on the band’s fall tour last year.

Tedeschi Trucks Band is an 11-member ensemble overflowing with talent and musical familiarity.  In addition to Susan Tedeschi (a six time grammy nominee) and Derek Trucks (who is currently #16 on Rolling Stone’s list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time) the band includes harmony singers Mike Mattison and Mark Rivers, brothers Oteil Burbridge (long time bassist for the Allman Brothers Band) and Kofi Burbridge (longtime keyboardist/flutist  with The Derek Trucks Band), a pair of drummers J. J. Johnson and Tyler Greenwell, as well as trumpeter Maurice Brown, tenor saxophonist Kebbi Williams, and trombonist Saunders Sermons.  “We are thrilled to be a part of these inaugural festivals in our home state of Florida, and share the stage with some great musicians and friends.”-Derek Truck and Susan Tedeschi,

Also highlighting the inaugural bill for the Festival are: contemporary guitar legend Walter Trout formerly with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers; Louisiana slide wizard Sonny Landreth; Allman Brothers drummer Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band; The Wood Brothers, featuring Chris from Modeski, Martin & Wood and his well-known singer/songwriter brother Oliver; award-winning British blues guitarist Matt Schofield; the driving force of urban funk, Big Sam’s Funky Nation; Florida guitar favorite Bobby Lee Rodgers; multiple Grammy and Blues Music Award-winner Joe Louis Walker; the no-frills blend of Chicago, Texas, and Delta blues of guitarist Sean Chambers; and the one and only New Orleans Blues Legend Dr. John (St. Petersburg and Boca Raton only).  At last a real Blues Festival that will become an annual event for the Sunshine State!

Known for his 2011 hit "Bass Cannon", English dubstep producer and DJ Joshua Steele took the name  Flux Pavilion around 2008 when he released the track  "Cheap Crisps" as a digital download.  Steele had grown up in Towcester where his neighbors were like-minded producers Doctor P and  Trolley Snatcha. At the time, all three had been playing in guitar-based bands together, but after downloading some music creation software, they agreed the future was digital and were set on their dubstep paths. Fast forward to 2010 and Flux Pavilion had made a name for himself with plenty of club hits, remixes, and DJ gigs, but that year’s "I Can’t Stop" took his career to another level. Two "fans" Steele met on a tour of America asked to sample the cut for their upcoming hip-hop album, and a year later "I Can’t Stop" became the basis of "Who Gon Stop Me" on  Jay-Z and Kanye West’s collaborative effort Watch the Throne. Flux Pavilion’s hit track "Bass Cannon" arrived that same year, along with a collaborative cut with Doctor P,  "Super Bad."

The Politix – Live at Ricochet Lounge 10/4/12

Emerging Miami Hip Hop Band, The Politix Preforming Live At Ricochete Lounge In Mid Town Miami 
 
After last week’s sell out performance at Bardot, The Politix continue their fall performance schedule next week at Ricochet Lounge in the heart of Miami’s Design District on  October 4th, 2012. The Politix will showcase their signature Hip Hop and Jazz fusion repertoire along with a special guest performance from up and coming Tampa artist Scott Aye. 
 
The Politix are an emerging Hip Hop band based in Miami, FL. The group consists of five young talented musicians that blend their Jazz training with Hip Hop influences to create a new infused sound. In less than 2 years The Politix have become staples on the Miami music circuit, consistently performing at popular venues such as Bardot, The Stage, and Grand Central. Many have compared the group to legendary Hip Hop groups such as De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, and The Roots. The local buzz surrounding the group has been confirmed by club owners such as Brian Basti, co-owner of Grand Central Miami, who stated, “it is only a matter of time until The Politix are in the national spotlight.“

With the release of their debut EP “The Inauguration” in 2011, The Politix have spent the past year working on their first full length self-entitled album, “The Po-lit-tix.” The album is completely self recorded and produced, and is expected to be released in early May in both CD and digital formats. The first single of the album and music video, “Black and Blue,” featuring Raquel Sofia, brought tremendous viral attention to The Politix’s music. It has since been featured on several music blogs including illroots.com, 2dopeboyz.com, and iamashleyoutrageous.com. Popular Hip Hop blogger Ashley Outrageous, praised the debut music video in her review stating, “I’m loving the story line of this visual and the chorus. The whole band plus emcee combo is definitely a plus too. Definitely a group to watch out for.” The Politix intend for this album to be a defining project that will introduce the world to their sophisticated hip-hop sound.

Formed in September 2010, The Politix was the brainchild of the band’s drummer, Aaron Glueckauf and now band manager, Kris Martin. The two took aspiring Miami emcee John Payan and paired him with three other University of Miami Frost School of Music students. The group includes John Payan (emecc/vocalist), Jason Matthews (Keyboard), Patrick Howard (Bass), Nick Tannura (Guitar), and Aaron Glueckauf (Drums). From Philadelphia to Chicago, each member is from a different part of the country and this diversity is at the foundation of The Politix unique sound. After the group formed in September 2011, their first major performance was scheduled for December. This was no ordinary debut performance as they were booked to open for emerging Hip Hop sensation Wiz Khalifa at The University of Miami. With over 5,000 people in attendance, The Politix debut performance propelled them into local stardom along side other popular Miami groups such as Mayday and Artofficial.

With the release of their debut album, {po-’li-tiks}, the group foresees this project as being a groundbreaking point in their career. The Politix plan to tour with the record, going on a Florida college tour this summer and eventually a national tour in Spring 2012. The Politix take pride in being completely independent artists and intend to due whatever it takes for the world to hear their music.

DJ Le Spam & Spam Allstars blend improvisational electronic elements and turntables with latin, funk, hip hop and dub to create what they call an electronic descarga. It’s not a known genre. It’s hard to describe. It attracts many types of people. But as they look out and see people dancing salsa, next to break-dancers, and festival-goers driving for hours to catch a show — they know something very special is going on.

Band’s New Album ‘Music From Another Dimension’ Hits The Streets November 6

“Brad Whitford and Joe Perry are playing better guitar than ever. Steven Tyler is playful, happy, and singing all of those impossible high notes. Joey Kramer has a drum groove like no other. And Tom Hamilton…continues to be the steady anchor to this ship.”
–Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, Loaded) Seattle Weekly, August 10, 2012

Aerosmith ain’t messing around.

America’s greatest rock band delivered absolutely killer sets on the first leg of their triumphant, sold-out The Global Warming Tour this past summer, with critics dropping comments like (we kid you not, see below) “stunning…jaw-dropping…impassioned intensity…seamless swagger…epic rock moments…a wonder to behold…Aerosmith always managed to reinvent itself for the masses without losing its inherent musicality…Make no mistake, Aerosmith remains king.”

They ain’t done yet. More prisoners will be taken when Steven Tyler (vocals), Joe Perry (guitar), Brad Whitford (guitar), Tom Hamilton (bass) and Joey Kramer (drums) return for the second leg of The Global Warming Tour launching November 8. The month-long, 14-city arena tour will take the band to New York City (Madison Square Garden), Los Angeles (Staples Center) and Las Vegas (MGM Grand Garden Arena), and will be making a stop at BB&T Center (formerly BankAtlantic Center) December 9, 2012. They’re fully armed with career-defining hits and blazing songs from their new album Music From Another Dimension, out November 6 on Columbia Records. They’re the only band of their stature with all-original members and who are playing better than ever before.

The Live Nation-produced tour will include support act Cheap Trick. Tickets go on sale Monday, September 24 at 10:00 AM (local time) at www.LiveNation.com . American Express card members can get advance tickets beginning this Wednesday, September 19 at 10:00 AM (local time). For VIP ticket packages, including opportunities to meet band members, backstage tours, great tickets and more, visit www.Aeroforceone.com . In addition, a Facebook pre-sale begins Friday, September 21; fans who visit www.livenation.com/aerosmith  and RSVP to the presale will have early access to tickets.

Music From Another Dimension–recently chosen by People magazine (9-17-12) as one of “5 Must Have Albums For Fall”–marks Aerosmith’s 15th studio album and their first studio album of all-new material in 11 years. There has been a witch’s brew boiling for 10 years, and they’re about to blow the cover off. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and at the band’s studio in Massachusetts; it was produced by Jack Douglas, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, with the exception of three tracks produced by Tyler and Marti Frederiksen. The album abounds with one highlight after another, including “Out Go The Lights,” “Oh Yeah,” “Luv XXX,” “We All Fall Down,” “Street Jesus” and “Can’t Stop Loving You,” on which Tyler duets with Carrie Underwood. The album also includes “Freedom Fighter” which features Johnny Depp on backing vocals. The album’s first two singles have been released simultaneously to radio and are now lighting up the airwaves: “What Could Have Been Love” is now impacting at Hot AC and “Lover A Lot” at Rock, Active Rock, and Classic Rock.

Coconut Creek, FL 33073
www.seminolecasinococonutcreek.com
 
The legendary Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang are bringing the blues to The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek at 7 p.m. on Sunday, November 11. Guy’s music can vary from the most traditional, deepest blues to a creative and unpredictable gumbo of the blues, avant rock, soul and free jazz that morphs at each of his performances.
 
Ranked 30th in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," Guy is known for his showmanship on stage – playing his guitar with drumsticks or strolling into the audience while playing solos. Fans  at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek can expect to hear favorites like “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Damn Right I’ve Got the Blues,” “Mustang Sally,” “Feels Like Rain” and "Stone Crazy," which was ranked 78th in Rolling Stone’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time.”
 
Critically acclaimed, Guy is a pioneer of the Chicago blues sound and has served as an influence to some of the most notable musicians of his generation, including Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. In the 1960s Guy was a member of Muddy Waters’ band and was a house guitarist at Chess Records. He can be heard on Howlin’ Wolf’s "Killing Floor" and Koko Taylor’s "Wang Dang Doodle" as well as on his own Chess sides and the fine series of records he made with harmonica player Junior Wells.
 
Jonny Lang is a Grammy Award-winning American blues, gospel and rock singer, songwriter, guitarist and recording artist. Lang’s music is notable for both his unusual voice, which has been compared to that of a 40-year-old blues veteran, and for his guitar solos. His solo patterns have especially been noted for his frequent use of wide vibratos.
 
In more than ten years on the road, Lang has toured with the Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy, Aerosmith, B.B. King, Blues Traveler, Jeff Beck and Sting. In 1999, he was invited to play for a White House audience including President and Mrs. Clinton. Lang also made a cameo appearance in the film Blues Brothers 2000 as a janitor. In addition, Lang appears regularly as a part of the Experience Hendrix Tour along with many other well-known guitarists to pay tribute the deceased guitar legend Jimi Hendrix.

¡Suénalo! (sweh-nah-low) verb
1. To sound, slap, or play upon a
musical instrument, object, or person.
Latin funk. Fusion. Jam band. Multicultural cocktail. Afro-Latin-Baby-Makin’-Descarga-Funk. Miami’s Suenalo has been crowned the Miami New Times’ Best of Miami Awards: Best Latin Rock Band in 2005, and most recently Best Latin Band in 2011. Even the lengthy hyphenated description the band came up with themselves falls short of the true breadth of what they represent. If Suenalo’s one of a kind fusion is hard to pinpoint, it’s only because no one’s ever done anything quite like it before.

But as they look out and see people dancing salsa, next to break-dancers, and festival-goers driving for hours to catch a show — they know something very special is going on.

Dancehall superstar Sean Paul began scoring hit singles in Jamaica and steadily began attracting international attention, eventually breaking into the pop mainstream with the album Dutty Rock. He began as a DJ after he started writing his own songs, patterning his style largely after Super Cat and finding a mentor in Don Yute; he also found contacts in several members of the reggae-pop band Third World, which helped open up business connections. Paul released his debut single, "Baby Girl," with producer Jeremy Harding; it proved a significant success, leading to further Jamaican hits like "Nah Get No Bly (One More Try)," "Deport Them," "Excite Me," "Infiltrate," and "Hackle Mi." Sean Paul then started to make inroads into American audiences; he was first commissioned to collaborate with fellow dancehall hitmaker Mr. Vegas on a production for rapper DMX; titled "Here Comes the Boom." Also, Paul scored a Top Ten hit on the Billboard rap charts with "Hot Gal Today." Dutty Rock followed by The Trinity were extremely successful with both albums peaking in the Top Ten of the album chart and featuring a handful of mainstream smashes. A little known fact about Sean Paul was that he was also a skilled athlete, excelling in swimming and especially water polo, playing for the Jamaican national team.

Friends of Music Education for Haiti, Inc. will present a benefit concert in Gusman Hall located in the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. The concert will feature violinist, Victoria Joseph, and pianist, Natasha Stojanovska, who will perform the violin and piano repertoire’s top three sonatas – Edvard Grieg’s Sonata No. 2 in G, Cesar Franck’s Sonata in A, and Richard Strauss’s Sonata in E-Flat.

All proceeds from this concert will go towards Friends of Music Education for Haiti’s initiatives to build

Haiti’s first professional music conservatory and performing arts center for children. Romel Joseph, the Juilliard-trained Haitian violinist who survived the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, is the Executive Director of Friends of Music Education for Haiti. His remarkable ordeal captivated audiences around the world through numerous media reports in the Miami Herald, the Washington Post, London Times, CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, BBC, and CNN. Legendary musician, Stevie Wonder, honored Mr.

Joseph by presenting him with his personal keyboard during a live interview on CNN.

Tickets to the concert are $10 and are available online at www.friendsofmusicforhaiti.org .

Victoria Joseph began her violin studies at the age of three with her father, Romel Joseph. She received her Bachelor’s in Music Performance from the University of Miami and has performed with a number of local music organizations. Ms. Joseph is currently involved with Walenstein Musical Organization, Walenstein Symphony Orchestra, The New Victorian School, and Friends of Music Education for Haiti.

Natasha Stojanovska began her piano studies at the age of eight. She received her Bachelor’s in Piano Performance from Lynn University. Ms. Stojanovska has performed and won many awards and competitions in the US and abroad. She is currently obtaining her Master’s in Piano Performance at Indiana University.

Friends of Music Education for Haiti, Inc., a non-for-profit organization, was created by Romel Joseph in light of the complete destruction of The New Victorian School in Port-au-Prince, Haiti during the January 12, 2010, earthquake with renewed energy and a new dream — to expand the music section of The New Victorian School into the creation of the first Haiti Performing Arts Center as his legacy to Haiti. FMEH will contribute to the development of music education and performance opportunities for the children, youth, and interested adults of Haiti. It will also help initiate musical training in all private and public schools throughout the country, explore Haiti’s rich traditional music, and manage the construction of the new Haiti Performing Arts Center.

During the week of Art Basel Miami Beach, Steinway & Sons Miami will present Pop-Up Piano Miami 2012, a public arts project that premiered during Art Basel Miami Beach 2011. With the continued support of Steinway & Sons Miami and new participating sponsors, this year the program is set to launch on a significantly larger scale by not only supporting local music and arts programs but also joining a global initiative.

Steinway & Sons Miami, a factory-owned retail location for Steinway & Sons, maker of the world’s finest pianos, has donated eight pianos that will be strategically placed by Wynwood Shipping across Downtown Miami, Midtown Miami, Wynwood, and Design District areas.

The Mixed Media Collective and PrintHouse USA are providing maps and other marketing materials. They will be popping up in several art-centric Miami locations in the coming months.

Each of the eight pianos will be crafted by artists at one of Miami’s iconic mixed-use arts complexes, Miami Iron Side. Miami Iron Side will also host a Pre-Art Basel Mixer where media and the community can view the almost completed pianos and meet the artists while savoring special delights such as tea tastings by Steep City Teas and sweets by Patty Cakes Cupcakes. Pearl Paint, the largest art supply store in the world that began on Canal Street, New York in 1933 as a family-owned company, will be supplying all the artistic materials for the following artists to create their masterpieces on the pianos:

  • Alex Mijares (mijaresart.co/category/alexander-mijares-2/)
  • Desiree Kawass (desireekawass.com)
  • Federico Carosio III (federicocarosioiii.com)
  • Ivan Roque (allhailtla.com/Home.html)
  • Rodrigo Gaya (rgayaphoto.photoshelter.com)
  • Ross Von Rosenberg (rossvon7design.com)
  • Ruben Ubiera (urbanpopsoul.com)
  • Waseone (iamwaseone.com)

Surprise locally acclaimed musicians will have “pop-up” performances that will be announced via social media outlets throughout the duration of the project. Art Basel week spectators will have access to tickle the ivories between scheduled performances by these talented musicians.

Nationally acclaimed musicians will have “Pop-Up” performances that will be announced via social media outlets throughout the duration of the project. Art Basel week spectators will have access to tickle the ivories between scheduled performances by these talented musicians. The performers are planned to be announced on October 9, 2012.

PUPM will host an opening fundraiser event in collaboration with the Friends of the New World Symphony on Wednesday, December 5. The event will feature a performance by a renowned, possibly Steinway-signed musician. The event will also host a silent auction of unique treats and donated gifts from partners. Funds that are raised from the auction and event tickets will be donated to Central Africa’s only symphony orchestra, Kimbangus Symphony Orchestra, located in Kinshasa (the heart of the Congo) to help them meet their goal of building a music school particularly for the Street Children which is Kinshasa’s leading issue.

Maestro, conductor, and founder of the symphony, Armand Diangienda states “my house became a music school because we don’t have another place. It’s a big project for the future to find a place where we can build more rooms for the orchestra to practice as well as the street children, giving them a place of refuge from the streets…giving them hope for a life.”

After Art Basel Miami Beach week, the pianos will be donated to local charities. PUPM will also work to expand, develop and implement specially designed music programs and workshops at some of the charities where the pianos will permanently reside.

The concept of Pop-Up Pianos was inspired by the New York City organization Sing for Hope. Sing for Hope mobilizes professional artists in volunteer programs that benefit schools, hospitals and communities. Sing for Hope’s Pop-Up Pianos celebrate the vision of arts accessibility for all. The inspirational project motivated the Co-Founders of The Black Key Group, Whitney Lykins and Isabella Acker, to bring Pop-Up Piano to Miami with the support of Steinway Piano Gallery of Miami and committee members Patricia Baro (Mixed Media Collective); Gaudi Castro (HEARD.); Meris Thomas (Freelancer – Event Production); Arnaud Pages (Macias Advertising); Daniel Rivero (WLRN); and Jessica Wade Pfeffer (Jessica Wade Inc.).

Stay tuned for musician, sponsor, and piano location announcements as well as event details. For more information, visit www.PopUpPianoMia.com. To keep track of piano locations, artists, and musicians, please follow Pop-Up Piano Miami on Twitter and Facebook.

Los Mesoneros es un quinteto de Rock de la ciudad de Caracas, Venezuela. El sonido se nutre de la fusión de líneas melódicas interesantes, progresiones de acordes sugestivos y la implementación del sintetizador, formando así parte del distinguido género Rock Alternativo. Juntos desde el año 2006 han logrado captar la atención de los medios, y de un público general por la madurez y el poder de sus composiciones con tan corta edad.
En el año 2008 resultaron ganadores del Intercolegial Nuevas Bandas, y otros festivales, méritos que impulsaron a la banda a establecerse en la escena musical caraqueña.
A comienzos del 2010 la banda lanza su primera corta producción discográfica titulada “Los Mesoneros EP” y logra afianzar los sencillos “No Puedes Ver”, “El Incrédulo” y “Ciclos” en los top 5 de las carterelas de Record Report.
 
“Indeleble”, es el nombre que recibe la primera larga duración, que se lanzó en Julio del 2011. Un disco que recorre una trayectoria personal, reflejada en las letras y en la música. Un álbum donde la melancolía y el deseo de soltarse se ve reflejado. Y una producción donde la honestidad de las letras y la madurez de la música ha logrado marcar rápidamente en el público venezolano. Indeleble fue producido y mezclado por Hector Castillo, venezolano radicado en New York, quien anteriormente había trabajado con Gustavo Cerati, David Bowie, Roger Waters, Bjork, y Caramelos de Cianuro, entre otros artistas de gran prestigio mundial y fue masterizado por Dave McNair en Sterling Sound NY. El primer sencillo del disco fue “Un Segundo” y logró un gran número de descargas en la primera semana del lanzamiento. Tanto el tema anterior como “Cuando Llega El Momento” también lograron permanecerse varias semanas en los primeros cinco, de la cartelera Pop y Rock del R
ecord Report de Venezuela.
 
Actualmente la banda se encuentra promocionando su tercer sencillo “Indeleble” y tiene como planes futuro internacionalizar el trabajo de la agrupación.

The band creates the driving force behind their music with their uninhibited blending of styles and creativity. With their musical roots ranging from jazz, ska, and polka the band produces a surprisingly smooth mixture of progressive Gypsy/Parisian/Circus-vibe/Swing/ World Beat tunes.

Miami, Fl 33130
http://www.paxmiami.com
 
Hamilton de Holanda was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1976 and shortly thereafter his family moved to the capital, Brasilia.
I was five years old and my grandfather gave me my first mandolin.
My father was my first maestro. In 1982, Hamilton was six years old. He and his eleven-year-old brother, Fernando César, who played the seven-string guitar, formed the duo called Dois de Ouro.
Since there wasn’t a mandolin professor I had to take the violin course as it was the most “similar” instrument, or at least one with the same tuning.
Hamilton studied at the Brasilia School of Music from 1983 to 1992.
His education continued with a Diploma in Composition from the University of Brasilia, where he won the “Award for Best Work of Scientific Initiation in Music” – PIBIC – for his composition of a concert for mandolin and orchestra.
His composition “Destroçando a macaxeira” won second place and later entitled the first Dois de Ouro CD. Published in 1997, both the public and critics alike received this CD with great attention.
In October 1998, the Dois de Ouro duo published the album entitled “A nova cara do velho Choro” (The New Face of Old Choro). The daily Correio Braziliense elected it as the MPB disc of the year. And Dois de Ouro won the Prêmio Candango de Cultura award given by the Secretaria de Cultura do Distrito Federal (Secretary of Culture of the Federal District).
Also in Rio, in 1999, Hamilton joined guitarist Marco Pereira and Zélia Duncan on the Grandes Encontros project at the Leblon Theater and then with Marco Pereira and Dois de Ouro at the Clube do Choro in Brasilia with the “50 anos de Brasileirinho” concert.
They ranked third at the “1st MPB Visa Awards”. This result was considered unfair and was contested by the audience present at the Cultura Artística Theater in São Paulo.
In February 2000, he toured with Marco Pereira in the south of France.
He played as a soloist with the Cláudio Santoro National Theater Symphony Orchestra, the Brasilia Philharmonic Orchestra, the State of São Paulo Jazz Symphony Orchestra and with the Brasilia School of Music Orchestra.
In 1999, 2000 and 2001, he taught bandolim (mandolin) at the Brasilia School of Music and the Raphael Rabello Brazilian School of Choro (Rabello was a great guitar player who died prematurely). This was the first school of this kind in Brazil and Hamilton went on to become its coordinator.
In September 2000, Dois de Ouro published its third album entitled simply “Dois de Ouro”. Next, in early 2001, came the album “Luz das Cordas” with guitar player Marco Pereira.
A “historic” concert was the 15th Edition of the Free Jazz Festival in Rio de Janeiro and then in São Paulo. He also performed at the Arts Alive International Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Paris Music Festival, the Vienna Jazz Festival and at the Brazilian Music Festival in Istanbul.
More recent group work has included the Brasília Brasil Trio, formed with guitarists Rogério Caetano and Daniel Santiago. The trio has already won the Rumos Musicais Itaú Cultural award for its original “sound.” It published a CD entitled “Abre Alas” in 2001 on the Caravelas label.
On December 4, 2001, he unanimously won the Icatu Hartford de Artes 2001 award for Best Instrumentalist in Brazil. This allowed him to live a year in Paris in the Cité Internationale des Arts.
In June 2002, he performed concerts in various Brazilian cities to present his first “solo” CD entitled “Hamilton de Holanda”, recorded on the Velas label. The album was dedicated to the four masters of the mandolin: Jacob, Luperce, Joel and Armandinho.
In July 2002, he was a guest at two important festivals in Corsica: Les Nuits de La guitare with Marco Pereira and the first ever International Mandolin Festival of Corsica, of which he is now the “Official Godfather.”
In September he played before an audience of 10,000 people at the São Luiz International Music Festival. He then went back to Paris, where he met resounding success at the La Cigalle Theater at a show of Márcio Faraco, a Brazilian with deep roots in France.
Shows then followed at the Paris Clube do Choro, the La Vieille Grille Theater and the Baiser Salé Jazz Club.
He was once again on tour in France, with his brother Fernando César on the seven-string guitar. He was called the “Prince de la mandoline” by the Parisian periodical Nova Magazine. He returned to France in 2003, this time with his Brasília Brasil group.
With Marco Pereira, he toured in Italy and Switzerland for the first time in November, with 12 concerts including these cities: Milan, Genoa, Verona, Siena and Bellinzona.
In April, he took off for a tour in the USA, playing at university campuses in Florida with Marco Pereira and in Los Angeles with the Brazilian Modern Choro Ensemble, receiving renewed acclaim from audiences and critics alike.

FRENCH HORN REBELLION are Robert and David Perlick-Molinari, two brothers born and bred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, currently residing in Brooklyn, NY. In 2007, younger brother Robert, found himself going down a career of classical French Horn performance. Standing at a crossroads, and fundamentally frustrated by the demands of mastering such an instrument (that he knew was almost impossible), he finally asked his brother David to rebel with him, and together they embarked on a life-long creative journey.
 
Conceived in and birthed from Austin’s steamy underground houses of Rock, AUTO BODY is live Electro Fusion. Fueled by their shared bloodlust for sonic divinity, and armed with a war chest of synthesizers, samplers, rattlesnakes, and a bass guitar, Tibaut Bowman (DJ Thibault) and Felix Moreno (Future Rock), crusade the universe in search of the electronic Holy Grail.

Multi-Platinum Selling Rock Band TESLA Coming to Seminole Casino Coconut Creek 10/4/12

Seminole Casino Coconut Creek – The Pavilion
5550 NW 40th Street
Coconut Creek, FL 33073
www.seminolecasinococonutcreek.com
Tickets start at $30* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply
 
Multi-platinum selling rock band TESLA will take the stage at The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. TESLA’s line-up consists of four of its original members: vocalist Jeff Keith, guitarist Frank Hannon, bassist Brian Wheat and drummer Troy Luccketta, plus new guitarist Dave Rude who has brought a fresh energy and creativity to the band.
 
Formed in Sacramento in 1985, the group named itself after the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered the alternating current on which radio was based. Their debut album Mechanical Resonance, produced the crowd favorites “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi,” reached the Top 40 on the album charts and eventually went platinum. Their second album The Great Radio Controversy helped solidify the band’s growing reputation and fan base. Its first single “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” was a hit that set the stage for their second single sensation, a classic ’80s power ballad titled "Love Song," which pushed the album into the Top 20 and double-platinum sales figures.
 
The following year TESLA released Five Man Acoustical Jam, a live album featuring acoustic renditions of hits such as "Comin’ Atcha Live," "Gettin’ Better," "Modern Day Cowboy" and "Love Song." The album also featured a number of covers, most notably a version of "Signs," which became the band’s highest-charting single. Not only did the album reach the Top 20 and go platinum, it helped to inspire MTV’s Unplugged series, which included artists such as Eric Clapton, Nirvana and many others following suit with live acoustic albums.
 
Psychotic Supper was released in 1991 and it quickly became yet another platinum success and spun off the greatest number of singles of any TESLA album with “Edison’s Medicine,” “Call It What You Want,” “Song and Emotion” and the classic hit “What You Give.” TESLA followed up with Bust a Nut in 1994, selling over 800,000 copies and serving as a testament to the loyal fan base they cultivated.
 
After a break of six years, the band reformed in 2000 and soon after completed a full American reunion tour which also included recording the double live album Replugged Live at various cities. In 2004, TESLA released Into The Now and gave proof that the band from a previous decade was plunging forward into a new era of music and producing a sound that could compete with modern music. The group has since gone on to produce several additional hit albums and tour worldwide.

When legendary percussionist Sammy Figueroa (Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Brecker Brothers, Mariah Carey, David Bowie and countless others) arrived in South Florida in 2001 he discovered a vibrant Latin jazz scene, where players from Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Haiti, Colombia and Argentina create a simmering mix of multi-cultural jazz collaboration.  With the support of producer Rachel Faro and Dr. Ron Weber of South Florida Jazz, Sammy put together a band of the best players in town, making their debut at the Hollywood Jazz Festival in November 2002.

How time flies!  Since then Sammy and the band have released three critically acclaimed albums (two of which have received Grammy Nominations), toured throughout the world and developed a large, devoted fan base. Although the personnel has changed throughout the years the sound of this band has remained remarkably consistent: sophisticated jazz fusion mixed up with a lot of rice and beans.

Whether you’re in the New York area or South Florida come help Sammy celebrate his 10th Anniversary as leader of one of the premier bands in Latin Jazz today!

SoFlo Based J6 Entertainment Launches ‘Forever R&B’ Concert Series with Kelly Price, Carl Thomas, Dru Hill, and Shirley Murdock.

South Florida based J6 Entertainment taps into the valuable 25-54 demographic bringing to the stage rhythm and blues icon Shirley Murdock who in the late 80’s peaked on the R&B top ten with the hit ‘As We Lay’, followed by years of memorable chart toppers and an acclaimed acting and gospel line-up of respected work. Heart-throb vocalist Carl Thomas adds to the roster promising an impressive return for a bevy of fans anticipating a night of ‘Summer Rain’ and ‘So Emotional’ — hits that secured Thomas’ spot in R&B history. Headlining the show is 4 time Grammy nominee Kelly Price, who since 1992 has graced the airwaves with beautiful songs full of amazing lyrics sealed in the memories of music lovers domestic and abroad.

Undoubtedly the most intriguing highlight of the show is the re-emergence of New Jack Swing super group Dru Hill featuring lead singer, Sisqo, who took a break from the group to deliver the solo hit ‘Thong Song’, only to return 8 years later uniting the group once again, much to the delight of R&B fans.

These iconic artists kick-off the ‘Forever R&B’ Series of specialized adult contemporary rhythm and blues concerts across the U.S., with the first installment on Saturday September 22nd at BankUnited Center on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables.

“J6 has built its reputation on promoting quality targeted events rendering effective results. Forever R&B was designed with a specific South Florida demographic in mind…adults who still love and appreciate real rhythm and blues” commented Devaris Laster, CEO of J6 Entertainment.

Before heading out on another East Coast tour with stops in Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Massachusetts, New York and Ohio, The Heavy Pets are playing a hometown show at The Funky Biscuit in Boca Raton on Wednesday, August 29th. This also marks bass player Tony D’Amato’s first Florida performance since joining the band, which has fans very excited.

www.TheHeavyPets.com | www.Facebook.com/TheHeavyPets | Twitter: @TheHeavyPets

The Heavy Pets (THP) are an American rock band whose contagious vibe blends rhythm and blues, jazz-funk, nu-disco and reggae fusion with rock and roll. Called “a living, breathing, force of nature” by Relix, THP are known for powerhouse live performances and infectious dance songs framing catchy smart lyrics. The group became an instant Sirius radio sensation in 2007 with the release of their double-disc debut album, Whale, driven by hit tracks “Operation of Flight” and “Sleep.” First embraced by the jam scene for their raw talent, their cross-over sound that is showcased on their self-titled album and was dubbed a “Top 10 Album of 2010” by The Huffington Post, propelled them into the periphery of mainstream music. Returning to their acoustic roots on Swim Out Past the Sun (2011), THP’s guitar duo set aside their electric axes for a more organic approach. Featuring a three song sit-in by longtime Jerry Garcia collaborator David Grisman, the album presents a fresh perspective from the ever-evolving quintet. Swim Out Past the Sun was produced and recorded by multi-platinum, Grammy and Oscar Award-winner Scott Mathews and mastered by Grammy Award-winner Vlado Meller. Major festival darlings, THP have taken the stage at JamCruise, Bonnaroo, High Sierra, Gathering of the Vibes, moe.down, Summercamp, All Good, Wakarusa, Bear Creek, Mountain Jam and their namesake PetZoo.

DJ Le Spam & Spam Allstars blend improvisational electronic elements and turntables with latin, funk, hip hop and dub to create what they call an electronic descarga. It’s not a known genre. It’s hard to describe. It attracts many types of people. But as they look out and see people dancing salsa, next to break-dancers, and festival-goers driving for hours to catch a show — they know something very special is going on.

Spam Allstars were formed by Andrew Yeomanson, a/k/a DJ Le Spam, who was raised in Toronto, Bogota and London, and has called Miami home since 1993. He got his start by playing guitar in Haitian band Lavalas, and recording and touring with Miami based artist Nil Lara. Along the way he added to his vinyl collection, and when off the road he would DJ locally. These DJ gigs evolved into collaborations with live musicians, performing on an internet radio show, recording in his home studio, and the first of many residencies combining his samplers & DJ skills with a live band.

In 2002, Spam Allstars began a weekly residency at Hoy Como Ayer in Little Havana, which continues today. In 2003 they started monthly residencies in New York City, Gainesville, Tampa, Atlanta, and New Orleans, and playing nationally wherever people would host them. Today they perform 200+ shows, and average 56,000 miles each year.

Under the guiding hand of mastermind George Clinton, Parliament/Funkadelic established funk as an heir to and outgrowth of soul. If James Brown is funk’s founding father, Clinton has been its chief architect and tactician. Over the decades, he’s presided over a musical empire that’s included Parliament/Funkadelic, plus numerous offshoots, solo and aggregates. The pioneering work of Parliament/Funkadelic in the Seventies—driven by Clinton’s conceptually inventive mind and the band members’ tight ensemble playing and stretched-out jamming—prefigured everything from rap and hip-hop to techno and alternative. Parliament/Funkadelic virtually defined the melting pot known as funk: a melding of rhythm & blues, jazz, gospel and psychedelic rock. With them, Clinton has purveyed larger-than-life characters and concepts from the stage, culminating in such theatrical milestones as the Mothership, a mock flying saucer from which the black space “aliens” of Clinton’s musical entourage alighted onstage. Though his musical productions have been typified by danceable grooves and driven by a laser-sharp sociological wit, Clinton’s ultimate goal is serious: “I am intent on making the word funk as legitimate as jazz and rock and roll.”

The group first caught on in 1994 when it played at the Snug Harbor Jazz Club and at concerts at Loyola and Tulane Universities, and it has been popular ever since. The members of Oriente have played and recorded with such notables as Mongo Santamaria, Cachao, Willie Nelson, Jaco Pastorius, Celia Cruz, Candido, Babatunde Olatunji and even Yma Sumac. Oriente has recorded three CDs so far (most recent is Ten Spaces in Time). They have performed at such festivals as the St. Lucia Jazz Festival, TwiRoPa and Jeff Fest, MOJA Pan-African and Piccolo Spoleto Festivals, the Caribbean Soul Celebration and the South Florida Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Tickets start at $15* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply

One of the seminal figures of rock’s new wave of romanticism, Adam Ant, is set to “Stand and Deliver” his hits alongside The Good, The Mad and The Lovely Posse at The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Friday, September 28 at 8 p.m. This will be their only concert in South Florida, and music lovers will get even more variety with the Brothers of Brazil performing an opening act at the show.

Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard) is an English musician who gained fame as the lead singer of new wave/post-punk group Adam and the Ants. The band formed in 1977 and released its debut album Dirk Wears White Sox in 1979, then saw their popularity soar with Kings of the Wild Frontier in 1980. Driven by a relentless rhythmic drum beat and charming melodies, it quickly became a hit in the UK, launching three Top 10 singles, including “Ant Music” and “Ant Rap.” On the heels of this success, Prince Charming was released in 1981 and became an instant fan favorite with two #1 singles, “Stand and Deliver” and the title track “Prince Charming.”

Ant was also a star in the United States where he was once voted sexiest man in America by the viewers of MTV and received a “Best New Artist” Grammy nomination in 1982. His first solo album Friend or Foe brought continued success in the U.S., featuring the #1 single “Goody Two Shoes” and “Desperate But Not Serious” as well as delivering three top 20 hits on the Billboard Top 100. In 1983 he appeared on NBC’s Motown 25 Special alongside Michael Jackson, and throughout his career has also appeared in over two dozen films and television episodes.

In 2008, Adam was presented with the Q Music Icon Award placing him alongside fellow recipients Paul McCartney and Bryan Ferry. This rekindled recognition resulted in a series of low key, spontaneous gigs in 2010 which enabled him to select a new band and to perform several sell-out shows in London. Adam Ant and The Good, the Mad and the Lovely Posse played to thousands of people last year, and after the recent successful tour of Australia are bringing the raw, raucous show across the U.S.

The Brothers of Brazil started when the brotherly duo of Supla and Joäo got a job hosting their own national variety show in Brazil called “Brothers” on Rede TV. Afterwards they began making some of the most original songs around by combining elements of traditional Brazilian music, such as Bossa nova and samba, with rock and funk to create a unique sound that’s won over countless fans.

From the instantly catchy sound of “Samba Around The Clock” to the rockabilly vibe of “Paparazzi,” their self-titled debut album, Brothers of Brazil, takes the band’s diverse group of influences and juxtaposes them into a very listenable brand of music that has as much emphasis on storytelling as it does songwriting.

WMC is a time of year when Miami gets to experience an influx of talent from the international dance community. Unfortunately, barring the occasional resident DJ set, it usually doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for the 305’s local heroes — until now. Carving a niche for themselves in this year’s festivities are three members of two-time Latin Grammy-nominated Locos por Juana, in their newest incarnation, Afro Kumbe.

The side project is an effort to delve into their Colombian roots, blending them with electronic sounds and making them more accessible. “We’ve been jamming with electronics for a long time, but the idea came from wanting to do a Locos DJ set,” says vocalist Itagui, who, along with LPJ bandmates Mark Kondrat and Javier “Lakambra” Delgado, makes up Afro Kumbe. “It’s something cool and different, and a chance for us to experiment with different instruments.”

The energetic singer claims his vocals will comprise primarily chants and tantra; meanwhile, he’s looking forward to playing instruments he doesn’t normally get to touch while fronting the band — such as the congas. “We want to revive those traditional Colombian sounds by giving them an electronic vibe,” he says. “L.A.’s got it with Palenke [Soultribe], and we want Miami to have that too. And this is an opportunity to share our music with people who prefer electro to live bands.”

The connection comes when you turn it up, and you’re transported to a funky, soulful, urban island in the middle of paradise. Miami-based group Elastic Bond mixes traditional Latin, Soul and Afro grooves, with modern electronic sounds. With a solid foundation of organic songwriting, melodic vocals and good vibes, Elastic Bond delivers music even your mom would like. Venezuelan producer Andres Ponce and Honduran singer-songwriter Sofy Encanto formed the band in 2006, and soon after guitarist Buffalo Brown and trumpet player David Burgos joined forces to expand its unique sound. Their latest release “Frecuencia Natural EP” solidifies Elastic Bond’s inventive fusion of styles that enchants listeners as diverse as the city they call home.

Led by singer Johnny Aguilo, Conjunto Progresso is considered one of the finest “keepers-of-the-flame” orchestras in the states. The conjunto sound, replete with tres finesse (Jose Elias), with powerful sones and deep-groove descarga jams, is alive and well. This is down-and-dirty stuff, close your eyes and you can almost smell the grit of a smoke-filled club reeking of rum and coke, and the sweat of people dancing, having a great time.

Every last Thursday, South Florida’s favorite Brazilian singer Rose Max and her amazing guitarist Ramatis Moraes fire up the dance floor at PAX with an authentic night of classic samba music inspired by the nightclubs of the Lapa neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Accompanied by a pulsating band and an amazing percussion section, Rose and Ramatis will make you dance, sing and smile all night long.

Rose Max comes from a family of acclaimed musicians from Rio de Janeiro. Her great-grandfather was famed composer and conductor Cupertino de Menezes and her grandfather Manuel de Menezes played guitar with samba legend Noel Rosa. Along with her husband and guitar player Ramatis Moraes, Rose Max moved to Miami in 1993. Over the past 19 years she has earned several Miami New Times “Best of” awards as well as three Brazilian International Press Awards. Known for their exquisite renditions of Bossa Nova classics by Antonio Carlos Jobim, this event at PAX features only samba – the other, more energetic, have to dance genre of Brazilian music. This is the only authentic, monthly samba party in Miami where you will hear the popular hits from the Rio de Janeiro samba schools.

¡Suénalo! (sweh-nah-low) verb
1. To sound, slap, or play upon a musical instrument, object, or person.

Latin funk. Fusion. Jam band. Multicultural cocktail. Afro-Latin-Baby-Makin’-Descarga-Funk. Miami’s Suenalo has been crowned the Miami New Times’ Best of Miami Awards: Best Latin Rock Band in 2005, and most recently Best Latin Band in 2011. Even the lengthy hyphenated description the band came up with themselves falls short of the true breadth of what they represent. If Suenalo’s one of a kind fusion is hard to pinpoint, it’s only because no one’s ever done anything quite like it before.

Venezoniks is a one of a kind musical collective that blends Venezuelan folkloric rhythms such as tambores, parranda, joropo and instruments like the cuatro and the cumaco drums, with electronic sounds.

Venezoniks strives to create a seamless fusion of preserving popular culture and innovating through the use of multimedia technology.
Cuero Trancao is Miami’s premier tambor group formed in 2002, and pioneers of Venezuelan culture in the city. They have performed and recorded alongside Oscar d’Leon and have a constant presence in Venezuelan festivals in different cities such as Miami, Houston and Atlanta.

In 2005 Jimena Fama, an extremely talented vocalist, musician, composer and producer journeyed to her native country, Argentina to explore her musical roots and to capture the heart and soul of Tango. Understanding that both tango and dub had a subdued and deep sound, she decided to combine the genres. The result would be Electro Dub Tango, with a brilliant collaboration of renowned Tango musicians released in October 2005. The first branded album of a collection produced by MaktubRecords for Graziano’s Gro
up.

With overwhelming response and popular demand, this project gave birth to her band…“Tango Conspiracy”. A talented plot of Miami and New York based musicians including Jimena Fama (Composer/Producer/Vocals/ Dj set / Guitar), Leo Barbosa / Juan Pablo Jofre Romarion (Bandoneon), Anibal Berraute / Maurizio Najt (Pianist), Jorge Carlos Oviedo (Violinist), Cedric Munch (Bassists) and Christopher Whitman (VJ) . Tango Conspiracy sets out to explore the deepest realms of this Argentinean folklore music by enhancing its subdued and intense mood with electronic dub undertones.

In January, 2007 Jimena wrote, produced and released the second album of Electro Dub Tango Collection. Electro Dub Tango meets Bossa Nova. A total inovative creation. It continues the trip to Buenos Aires making some stops in Rio. It’s Funk, it’s Lounge, it’s Tango, it’s Dub and it’s Bossa Nova.

Electro Dub Tango meets Europe is the third release! (2009). Mixing the Electro Dub Tango sound with old and new European influences was born this cool piece for the collection.

June 2010 World Cup Times …Fama’s conspiration and another album for the Electro Dub Tango Collection.

Tango and Fútbol (soccer), pop culture, unbridled passion. From the deepest beat of the Argentine heart, moving people, touching lives.

“Electro Dub Tango meets the World”, celebrates the euphoria of the new edition of the World Cup 2010, with subtle influences of the world of soccer and its African context.

Prepare to experience this unique and innovative sound!

Los Rakas (MIAMI Debut)
Two cousins who grew up in Panama before spending their teens in Oakland, California, Raka Dun and Raka Rich put a distinctive “Panabay” twist on hip-hop and reggae, bridging the streetwise sounds of the places they’ve called home. Los Rakas make music born of migration and tradition, critique and celebration, joy and pain. They make New World music. American music. Panamanian Jamaican Californian music. Music for b-boys and rude boys, dancers and romancers, mainlanders and islanders
and isthmus folk alike. All their music can be heard here: http://losrakas.bandcamp.com/

“Si alguna vez pensó que ya no había nada nuevo bajo el sol en lo que a música urbana se refiere, ahí llegan Los Rakas para hacerle cambiar de parecer.” – Sun Sentinel (Miami)

“Oakland-based Raka Dun and Raka Rich represent some of the best in Spanish-language rap coming out of the US, with a classic flow married to beats that draw from dancehall, future bass and good ol’-fashioned boom-bap.” -AOL Spinner

Lynyrd Skynyrd at Hard Rock Live
October 25, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.
Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
1 Seminole Way
Hollywood, FL 33314

Tickets are $47.50, $62.50, $77.50 and $92.50* all seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets online at www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone: 1-800-745-3000. Doors open one-hour prior to show start time. *Additional fees may apply

Southern rock’s Lynyrd Skynyrd will bring Last of a Dyin’ Breed, their new release due out August 21 (Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records), along with decades of their classic hits to Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

With a catalog of over 60 albums, sales beyond 30 million worldwide and their beloved classic American rock anthem “Sweet Home Alabama” having sold over two million ringtones, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remain a cultural icon that appeals to multiple generations. Fans can expect to hear new material as well as time-honored classics including the iconic “Free Bird,” “Simple Man,” “Saturday Night Special,” “Gimme Three Steps,” What’s Your Name” and many more.

Having survived enough tragedy and just plain hard miles for 10 bands, Skynyrd is, remarkably, at this stage of their career, on a roll. Their last release, God & Guns (2009), debuted at #18 on the Billboard Top 200, giving the band their highest debut since 1977.

Led by core members Gary Rossington (guitar), Johnny Van Zant (vocals) and Rickey Medlock (guitar), Skynyrd continues to build on the legacy that began over 35 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida. Joining them in the studio and on the road are new bassist Johnny Colt (Black Crowes, Train) guitarist Mark “Sparky” Matejka, keyboardist Peter Keys, drummer Michael Cartellone and backing vocalists
Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase.

In a tragic tale oft-told, the Skynyrd story could have ended in a Mississippi swamp with the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members, including Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines. Since then, the band has lost vital players in Billy Powell, Ean Evans, Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson and Hughie Thomasson, yet here Skynyrd is very much alive and ready to throw down.

Last of a Dyin’ Breed, their newest release on Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records due August 21, is rock ‘n roll for the times. It is the kind of record guaranteed to feed the needs of the multi-generational Skynyrd Nation, and continue the renewed vigor the band exhibited with their last album, 2009’s God & Guns. While not as overtly political as its predecessor, Breed focuses on the struggles of the working class, with songs like the reverb-drenched “Poor Man’s Dream” and the blue-collar powerhouse “One Day at a Time.” The triple guitar assault has never sounded more on point, with passionate musicality, expert harmonics and of course, plenty of attitude to burn. From the raging guitars of the title track and the pounding, funky homage to local talent in “Home Grown” to the mind-blowing “Honey Hole,” Lynyrd Skynyrd sound like young bucks having one hell of a good time.

What snaps with a crack that makes the world crumble into exciting new shapes? What’s crisp as a c-note hot off the presses, slick as a suit from a Saville Row haberdasher, more fun than a barrel of funky monkeys and as out-and-out wow as now can get without losing its sense of timing? Krisp, that’s what — and that’s who.

If you don’t happen to know all that yet, it’s a cinch you soon will. Why? Because the Miami-based outfit is set to unleash its debut EP Mamani Vice at Bardot on Saturday August 18, that’s why. And if there’s a more anticipated racking rockin’ ‘round town right this minute we don’t know what it is. .

Already a regular on Magic City stages and a staple of MIA sound, Krisp is quickly proving to be the contenders to the crown we’ve all been eagerly awaiting. Descendents of the New New Wave, Krisp takes what’s best of the original and brings it up to the moment, then they push it well past a place where limits don’t exist. The lads are less a remake than they are a remodelling of the house of sound itself; one that’s so complete you’d think its origin began with tomorrow.

It’s a tomorrow that’s sure to see Krisp through to eternity, where the next big thing becomes a household word. Until then though, us lucky Miamians can boast in the knowing that we all knew the band when. And how many times in your wild life do you get to say that?

Revered Brits Joe Cocker and Dave Mason will make sure South Florida audiences are “Feelin’ Alright” as they bring decades of classic staples and chart-topping rock anthems to Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for two shows on September 28 & 29, 2012 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale, Saturday, August 11 at noon.

British soul singer Joe Cocker parlayed Ray Charles-type vocals and an eccentric stage presence into a string of late-’60s hits, suffered in the mid-’70s, and went from tragic figure to well-respected interpreter in the ’80s and ’90s. His gritty, powerful voice remains one of the most distinctive in rock & roll today.

After leaving school early to become an apprentice gas fitter in Sheffield, England, Cocker joined his first group in 1959, the Cavaliers. When he moved to lead vocals in 1960, the band changed its name to Vance Arnold (Cocker’s stage name) and the Avengers. In 1961, he released his first single, a cover of The Beatles’ “I’ll Cry Instead” with a new band, Joe Cocker Big Blues.

But, it wasn’t until 1969, at Woodstock, that he entered the big time with another Beatles song, the groundbreaking rearrangement of “With a Little Help from My Friends” featuring lead guitar from Jimmy Page, and an explosive performance. That’s same year he was featured on The Ed Sullivan Show and This is Tom Jones.

His onstage physical intensity -, flailing his arms, playing air guitar and occasionally giving superfluous cues to his band – led to a key Saturday Night Live moment when, while performing the hit “Feelin’ Alright,” cast member John Belushi joined Cocker onstage doing his famous impersonation of the singer.

“Delta Lady,” Cocker’s next big hit was penned by Leon Russell who also helped make the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour a success in 1970. It resulted in a #2 live double album that yielded a pair of hits – “The Letter” and “Cry Me a River” plus a film. Five years later, Cocker had one of the biggest hits of his career with the achingly tender Billy Preston-penned #5 hit, “You Are So Beautiful.”

In 1982, Cocker re-emerged with a #1 duet with Jennifer Warnes, “Up Where We Belong,” from the movie An Officer and a Gentleman. Since then, several other Cocker songs have graced films, including his version of Randy Newman’s “You Can Leave Your Hat On” (91/2 Weeks, 1986) and Bryan Adams’ “When the Night Comes” (An Innocent Man, 1990).

Earlier this year Cocker released an album titled “Hard Knocks,” and he recently completed a new record “Fire It Up,” which is scheduled to be released in November.

Cocker was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in the Queen’s 2007 Birthday Honours list for services to music. Cocker also appeared that year in Across the Universe with a cameo as the lead singer on another Beatles hit, “Come Together.”

At age 18, Worcester, England-native Dave Mason teamed up with Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood to form the legendary band Traffic whose profound influence over rock music remains unquestioned, even today.

At 19, Mason penned the song “Feelin’ Alright.” First recorded by Traffic, this song has since become a rock and roll anthem and recorded by dozens of artists, including tour partner Joe Cocker.

In 1969, Mason pursued a solo career. A prolific artist, Mason has penned over 100 songs. He struck gold with the album Alone Together, which is considered a rock classic. This was followed by five albums including Dave Mason and Mariposa De Oro, four of which received gold albums. Let It Flow, which has gone well over platinum, contained the Top 10 single “We Just Disagree.”

In addition to performing to sold-out audiences, Mason performed is linked with and has performed on a number of albums including The Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet; George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass; Paul McCartney’s Listen To What The Man Said and Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland. One of the songs from Electric Ladyland, “All Along the Watchtower,” featured Mason playing acoustic guitar. This song, written by Bob Dylan, remains a favorite in Mason’s live show.

Mason was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of the group Traffic, and is considered an important figure in American music history. With a career spanning nearly 50 years, Mason is hailed as one of the most talented songwriters and guitarists in the world.

Mason is a tireless supporter of philanthropic causes including Work Vessels for Vets, Yoga Blue, and Kids Rock.

The AP Tour Fall 2012 is back and featuring a lineup handpicked by the AP staff. Metal rockers Miss May I will headline with main support from California heavy hitters The Ghost Inside. Melodic metal act Like Moths To Flames, Australia’s modern metal quintet The Amity Affliction and technical metal up-and-comers Glass Cloud will round out the lineup.

AP has enlisted the mighty Ohio brethren Miss May I to throw it down hard on this year’s Tour. Their third album, the Machine-produced At Heart, is a full-on paint-peeler that’s as empowering as it is energizing. They promise that when you hear those songs live, you’ll have no choice but to feel the heat or taste the floor.

The Ghost Inside have pretty much beaten you senseless with their latest album Get What You Give. The El Segundo, California, unit have developed a charged chemistry that’s made them worthy contenders. It’s obvious they aren’t dicking around, and they’re easily going to separate the men from the mollusks on the 2012 AP Tour Fall.

The B-52s 35th Anniversary Tour at Hard Rock Live 8/22/12

The B-52s, The World’s Greatest Party Band, is set to bring its fun favorites and offbeat chart-toppers in a whirlwind 35th Anniversary Tour to Hard Rock Live. Tickets go on sale Saturday, August 4 at 1pm.

With 35 years and over 20 million albums sold highlighting their career, there can be no doubt as to why they remain one of rock music’s most beloved and enduring bands.

Any mystery concerning the band’s longevity and ongoing appeal is immediately solved when exposed to a B-52s concert experience. From groundbreaking songs like “Rock Lobster,” “Dance This Mess Around” and “Private Idaho“ to chart-topping hits like “Love Shack” and “Roam” and “Deadbeat Club” to their thrilling reemergence on the pop scene with their 2008 CD Funplex, the B-52s’ unforgettable dance-rock tunes start a party every time their music begins.

Formed in 1976 in Athens, GA, the band played their first gig at a friend’s house on Valentine’s Day 1977. Naming themselves after Southern slang for exaggerated ‘bouffant” hairdos, the newly-christened B-52s (Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, Cindy Wilson and Ricky Wilson) began weekend road trips to New York City for gigs at CBGBs and a handful of other venues. Before long, their thrift store aesthetic and genre-defying songs were the talk of the post-punk underground. A record deal soon followed and their self-titled debut disc, produced by Chris Blackwell, sold more than 500,000 copies on the strength of their first singles, the garage rock party classic “Rock Lobster,” and “52 Girls.” The B-52s began to attract fans far beyond the punk clubs of the Lower East Side — galvanizing the pop world with their ‘stream-of-consciousness’ approach to songwriting and outrageous performance.

With the release of their second studio effort, Wild Planet (1980), the B-52s proved their success was no fluke with hits with “Private Idaho,” “Give Me Back My Man” and “Strobe Light.” In just two albums, the B-52s created a lexicon of songs, styles, phrases and images which would set the standard for the development of the ‘alternative music scene’ for the next decade. The success of Mesopotamia (1982), and Whammy! (1983) positioned the B-52s as MTV regulars as well as alternative radio staples.

At the time of their greatest achievements, however, they suffered their greatest tragedy — the death of guitarist Ricky Wilson from AIDS. Wilson’s passing in 1985 came just after the sessions for Bouncing Off the Satellites (1986). The album, dedicated to Wilson, had taken nearly three years to complete but was worth the wait, serving up the fan favorites “Summer of Love” and “Wig.”

After a period of mourning, the band re-emerged with the Don Was/Nile Rodgers co-produced Cosmic Thing (1989). The album proved to be the greatest commercial achievement for the group, and its success propelled the band to international superstars. Cosmic Thing soared to the top of the Billboard Album chart, sold five million copies and yielded their first-ever Hot 10 hits — “Love Shack” and “Roam” and a Top 40 hit with “Deadbeat Club.”

Soon after, Cindy Wilson amicably departed. As a trio, Fred, Keith and Kate re-enlisted the tag team of Was and Rodgers to produce the energetic Good Stuff (1992) with its popular title cut and concert favorite “Is That You Mo-Dean?” Wilson returned in 1998 for Time Capsule followed by the two-disc collection Nude on the Moon: the B-52s Anthology (2002).

In 2008 the B-52s released their first new album in 16 years, the aptly titled Funplex.

The band celebrated its 34th anniversary in 2011 with a triumphant return to their hometown of Athens, GA. The concert was recorded and filmed for a CD and DVD release entitled The B-52s With the Wild Crowd! Live in Athens, GA.

As they take their party-music revolution into the 21st century, the B-52s show no signs of slowing down serving up their own unique blend of music and showmanship to millions of fans around the world.
