COMEDIAN BRIAN REGAN

ANNOUNCES SPRING 2016 TOUR DATES

Tickets Go On Sale Monday, September 28, 2015

On Saturday, September 26, Regan Will Star In

Brian Regan: Live From Radio City Music Hall,

Comedy Central’s First-Ever Live Broadcast Of A Stand-Up Special

September 21, 2015 – Comedian Brian Regan announces spring tour dates for his non-stop theater tour going on sale Monday, September 28, 2015.  The spring leg of the tour will visit 38 cities throughout North America including Regan’s return to the 12,500-seat EnergySolutions Arena on March 18.  A list of new tour dates is below.  For more information and links to purchase tickets visit www.BrianRegan.com.

This Saturday, September 26, Regan will make history with the live Comedy Central broadcast of Brian Regan: Live from Radio City Music Hall, the first-ever live broadcast of a stand-up special in Comedy Central’s history.

On May 8, Regan made his final stand-up performance on Late Show With David Letterman, his 28^th appearance and the most of any comic since the show moved to CBS in 1993.

“He is one of my favorite, favorite stand-up comedians.” - Jerry Seinfeld

“No comedian in the world says, 'Yeah, I want to follow Brian Regan.'" – Chris Rock

“Saw Brian Regan last night at the Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara. In a word (or three) Simply the Best!” – Dennis Miller

“You’re one of the rare guys that is universally respected by comics as being one of the most hilarious guys out there at stand-up.” – Joe Rogan

“Honestly, Brian Regan’s the best stand-up working today. Period.” – Patton Oswalt

“You’re the guy people look up to…Brian Regan’s the funniest guy…there’s Brian Regan and then there’s other people.” – Marc Maron

“I’ll take all of that guy you got…Very funny man.” – David Letterman

Regan made a scene-stealing cameo in Chris Rock’s film, Top Five, and he was seen in Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, but it is stand-up comedy that is Brian’s focus visiting close to 100 cities each year, and selling out some of the most beautiful venues on the continent.

TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA TO BRING ROCK OPERA ‘THE GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS EVE’ PRESENTED BY HALLMARK CHANNEL LIVE ACROSS NORTH AMERICA IN 2015   

SCOTTRADE CENTER - SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27

  AT 3:00PM and 7:30PM 

Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) has announced the dates of its 2015 Winter Tour, once again featuring one of the group’s beloved stories performed in its own renowned audio visual manner. This year’s enchanted Yuletide tale is “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve,” which TSO will take to 60 cities across North America to perform 100 shows.  Scottrade Center will host two spectacular shows on Sunday, December 27 at 3:00pm and 7:30pm.  Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday, September 18 at 10:00am with a portion of the proceeds benefitting local charities.    TSO is pleased to announce that each concert ticket bought online will come with a digital copy of the groups highly-anticipated upcoming studio album, Letters From The Labyrinth (Lava Records/Republic Records). Letters From The Labyrnith, which is set to be released November 13, 2015 is TSO’s first full-length album since 2009’s Night Castle, and fans who purchase tickets to the 2015 Winter Tour will be among the first to hear it. Visit www.trans-siberian.com for more details. 

Based on TSO’s multi-platinum DVD and long running PBS fundraiser, the story follows the journey of a young runaway who, on Christmas Eve, breaks into an abandoned vaudeville theater seeking shelter from the cold, and the ghostly visions she experiences from that concert hall’s past. “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” features the best of TSO such asChristmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24, O’ Come All Ye Faithful, Good King Joy, Christmas Canon, Music Box Blues, Promises To Keep, and This Christmas Day. TSO creator, lyricist and composer Paul O’Neill says, “‘The Ghosts of Christmas Eve’ brings me back to TSO’s beginnings. We recorded this TV show before TSO had ever toured and it was almost like our first show. It was filmed in a majestic old theatre in Jersey City and we got to work with the legendary Ossie Davis, Jewel and Michael  Crawford.  

There was a magic we captured and I think that’s why it was so successful as a fundraiser for PBS. The special features some of the best songs from our catalog at the time. We want to keep the spirit of the story alive and weave it together to encompass the best of the Christmas Trilogy that fans of all three stories can enjoy. The band always gets excited when they get to do something new and now that we are finished up with “Letters From The Labyrinth” there is going to be lots of new music and twists for our fans on this tour.”   This year’s tour follows the massive success of The 2014 Winter Tour, which grossed more than $51 million in just 52 days, played to nearly 1,000,000 fans.  

In total, TSO has played in excess of 1,600 shows for more than 11 million fans cementing itself as one of the world’s biggest arena rock acts.  Trans-Siberian Orchestra has consistently ranked in the Top 10 for attendance and grosses according to Pollstar, the touring industry trade publication, and was named among the “Top Touring Artists of the Decade” by Billboard (in 2009). This ongoing success is due to Paul O’Neill’s vision. O’Neill has melded the sound and fury of rock with the storytelling of Broadway to create a unique amalgamation he calls “rock theater” that leaves crowds of all ages speechless. With new fans being introduced to the wonder presented on stage everyyear, and TSO constantly striving to provide a new experience, audiences can be assured the best is yet to come in 2015.   

As in all previous years, a portion of all ticket sales will go to benefit select national and local charities.  To date, TSO has donated approximately $12 million to worthy charities.   TSO will unveil exciting news about “Letters From The Labyrinth” (Lava Records/Republic Records), the group’s first full-length release since 2009’s Night Castle, shortly. Visit www.trans-siberian.com  for more details.   Reserved Tickets start at $39.00!  Tickets go on sale Friday, September 18 at 10am at LiveNation.com, the Live Nation Concerts App, The Ford Box Office at Scottrade Center, all Ticketmaster Retail Outlets, and charge by phone at 1-800-745-30000.

The Late Late Show airs at 12:37am / 11:37am CST on CBS (check local listings).

 

Royal Blood's blistering summer included a remarkable interview and performance on the Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM, crowd-winning performances at the Sasquatch, Bunbury, Bonnaroo, and Governor's Ball festivals, and arena dates supporting Foo Fighters. The band will spend the fall playing headlining dates with Bass Drum of Death and will also appear at the Life is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas, NV and Austin City Music Festival in Austin, TX. See below for a complete list of upcoming dates.

* w/ Bass Drum of Death

 

Royal Blood is 24 year-old vocalist/bassist Mike Kerr and 27 year-old drummer Ben Thatcher. The duo's sound is a result of a lineage that stretches from present day heroes Queens of the Stone Age to the influential Led Zeppelin, and all the way back to early blues pioneers... yet this huge wall of sound emerges from just two men and two instruments. The band's ferocious approach to the drums and bass have led them to be hailed as one of the most exciting forces in live music. Entertainment Weekly praised the band's "muscle-car riffs and bluesy snarls", while Rolling Stone proclaimed "the band is surely well on its way to becoming a household name." Pitchfork noted the band's "crushing, contorted groove" and "telepathic sense of connectivity". USA Today declared them "the biggest breakouts in rock this year."

KENNY CHESNEY GEARS UP FOR 2016

Miranda Lambert to Anchor Stadium Dates

 

Sam Hunt and Old Dominion Flesh Out Core Stadium LineUp

​Nashville, Tenn. - (Sept. 15, 2015) The dust hasn’t even settled from Kenny Chesney’s record-smashing Big Revival 2015 Tour – closing with 120,206 fans played to over two nights at Foxboro, Massachusetts' Gillette Stadium – and the man The Wall Street Journal has deemed “The King of the Road” is ready to kick-off 2016. As is always his way, he’s looking to make his stadium shows the best day of the summer.

​“People count on having a great day when they come out to see us,” Chesney explains. “And I think it’s important that we give them the best show we can from the moment they hit the gate until the final encore song’s been played.”

To realize this goal, Chesney tapped six-time Female Vocalist and four-time Album of the Year winner Miranda Lambert, currently up for four 2015 CMAs including Entertainer and Female Vocalist of the Year. Known for hits including “The House That Built Me,” “Kerosene,” “White Liar,” “Baggage Claim,” CMA Song of the Year “Over You” and the current “Smokin’ And Drinkin’,” TIME hails the Texas firebrand for “packing heat and heart in equal measure.”

​“Miranda is the real deal,” Chesney says. “She’s a songwriter, first, and a real vocalist. She’s puts it all out there when she’s on stage, and I loved touring with her so much in 2009, I can’t believe it’s taken us this long to get her back out here – because I love every single thing about who she is as an artist and a person.”

Joining them will be Sam Hunt, the Cedartown, Georgian who’s already scored three consecutive Platinum-selling #1s with “Leave The Night On,” “Take Your Time” and “House Party” from his debut album, Montevallo. In addition to his own hits, he wrote Chesney’s #1 “Come Over” and Keith Urban’s “Cop Car.” With his distinct country sound, Hunt has surpassed 450 million streams across all digital platforms – far more than any other country music newcomer.

​“The second I heard Sam’s demo for ‘Come Over,’ I knew he was onto something very unique,” says the man who gave Hunt his first cut. “Watching him develop as an artist, seeing his songwriting evolve – and knowing how he brings it when he gets onstage makes him a perfect act to come out with us. He’s fun, alive and all about the music.”

​And reprising their kick-off position -- but getting a longer set -- is Old Dominion, the songwriter’s group who’ve written hits for Dierks Bentley (“Say You Do”), Tyler Farr (“A Guy Walks Into A Bar”), The Band Perry (“Better Dig Two,” “Chainsaw”) and Chesney (his current “Save It For A Rain Day”). The five-man band with ties to Virginia will release their RCA debut Meat And Candy on Nov. 6.

​“Old Dominion had a tough job this summer, and they got it done,” Chesney says of his stadium opener. “They’re hit songwriters, but they’re also guys who’ve played in a lot of clubs – and know how to connect with people. I mean, not only are their songs solid, they’re great guys.”

​Setting or breaking records in Minneapolis’ Target Stadium, Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ’s Met Life Stadium, Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field, Green Bay’s Lambeau Field, as well as putting 55,000 in the Rose Bowl, there’s a reason he’s the only country artist on Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years. With this line-up, he will give the No Shoes Nation another stellar summer on the road.

ERIC CHURCH TOPS CMA AWARDS NOMINATIONS WITH FIVE NODS
 

Singer’s breakout year now includes nominations for top honor Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year at the 49th annual awards

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn.  – An already amazing 19-month run got even better Wednesday morning when Eric Church learned he was nominated for a leading five CMA Awards, including top honor Entertainer of the Year.

It’s Church’s first nomination in that category, and one earned through tireless work, innovation and old-fashioned entertaining. He’s also up for Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year for “Like a Wrecking Ball,” Single of the Year for “Talladega” and Musical Event of the Year for “Raise ‘Em Up” with Keith Urban.

It’s the EMI Records Nashville recording artist’s first nomination for Entertainer of the Year, an award given to the performer who has proven to be a recording, radio and touring star as well as an ambassador for the genre.

Church’s February 14, 2014, release The Outsiders was that year’s top-selling country album and has continued to surge in 2015. Church logged another No. 1 from the Grammy Awards-nominated album  with “Talladega” and set a number of venue records around the nation on The Outsiders Tour, including a stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. He also opened Nashville’s new Ascend Amphitheater with a pair of critically acclaimed, sold-out nights that showcased Church’s ability to hold a crowd of thousands in rapt attention with just an acoustic guitar, his songwriting abilities.

Church is tied for the nominations lead with Little Big Town, a vocal quartet with which he coincidentally shares producer Jay Joyce. The North Carolina native has now been nominated for 17 CMA Awards with one win, 2012 Album of the Year CHIEF. The 49th Annual CMA Awards will be broadcast live on ABC on Nov. 4 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

RANDY HOUSER NABS CMA NOMINATION FOR SONG OF THE YEAR

 
Nomination for “Like A Cowboy” comes as Houser preps for We Went Tour featuring Frankie Ballard and Craig Campbell
  NASHVILLE, Tenn. – ) – When powerhouse country vocalist Randy Houser released ballad “Like A Cowboy,” it was dubbed by Taste of Country as "a pure, unencumbered vocal showcase [...] for country fans who just like to hear a great vocalist at his best." The powerful single, released on his third album How Country Feels, garnered Houser his third career nomination earlier today (Wednesday) for the 49^th Annual CMA Awards.

“I’m just so honored and humbled,” Houser said following the announcement this morning. “As an artist you don’t get into this for anything except your love for music, so to get to this point is kind of surreal. When you give it everything you’ve got and make sacrifices, to be recognized by fans, the industry and fellow artists, it really means the world. I grew up watching the CMAs and looking forward to those performances every year. It was the Super Bowl of music in a way for me. So I feel blessed to be at this point.”

“Like A Cowboy,” which Houser wrote with Brice Long, highlights the Stoney Creek Records recording artist’s epic voice and sense of drama. The soaring ballad was the fourth in a run of four Top 5 singles from How Country Feels, with the first three – “How Country Feels,” “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight,” and “Goodnight Kiss” -- scoring consecutive No. 1 titles.

“Song of the Year honors the craft of songwriting, which is the foundation of what we do as country artists, so it’s really special to be recognized,” Houser added. “This song means a lot to me personally. It’s one of my favorite songs that I have ever written. It’s a song that I’m proud of and made a huge impact on the live show. And I owe that to country radio for getting it out there for fans to hear."

The song immediately caught the attention of critics when it was released, evoking a long-ago time in country music but doing it in a thoroughly modern way. Taste of Country touted that “Like A Cowboy” is “for country fans who just like to hear a great vocalist at his best. The song is a pure, unencumbered vocal showcase.”

Houser’s latest single, “We Went,” is climbing the charts and has a smokin’ fun video that features car chases, romantic moments and a little Robin Hood action. It is the first taste of new music from a forthcoming album, which will be his fourth overall and second for Stoney Creek Records.

Houser will kick off his first headlining arena tour, aptly called the We Went Tour, with Frankie Ballard and special guest Craig Campbell in mid-November after a summer spent on a star-making turn opening for Luke Bryan to universal praise. The We Went Tour tour will kick off Nov. 20 in Corbin, Kentucky.

Current dates for the We Went Tour are as follows:
Friday, Nov. 20 – The Arena - Corbin, Ky.
Saturday, Nov. 21 – Hobart Arena – Troy, Ohio
Friday, Nov. 27 – Dow Events Center - Saginaw, Mich.
Saturday, Nov. 28 – Old National Events Plaza - Evansville, Ind.

About Randy Houser
With an inimitable voice the New York Times describes as “wholly different, thicker and more throbbing, a caldron bubbling over,” Randy Houser racked up three consecutive No. 1 hits and more than four million in singles sales to date with his Stoney Creek Records album, How Country Feels. He topped the charts with the title track, “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and “Goodnight Kiss” (also his first No. 1 as a songwriter) and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash, "Like A Cowboy."

THE BAND PERRY RECEIVES 2015 CMA AWARDS NOMINATION FOR 'VOCAL GROUP OF THE YEAR' 

NASHVILLE, TN - SEPTEMBER 10, 2015 - Grammy® Award-winning superstar sibling trio THE BAND PERRY have been nominated for a 2015 CMA Award for "Vocal Group of The Year" - marking the group's sixth consecutive year to receive a nomination. The 49th Annual CMA Awards will be hosted for the eighth time by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood and broadcast live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Wednesday, Nov. 4 (8:00-11:00 PM/ET) on the ABC Television Network (check local listings).

 

The Band Perry released their roaring new anthem "Live Forever" on Friday, August 14th.  The track, produced by RedOne and Dann Huff, is the first taste of new music from The Band Perry's forthcoming album due for release later this fall by Big Machine Label Group.  "Live Forever" is available for purchase at all digital retailers.

 

The Band Perry performed "Live Forever" for the first time on national television - as well as other fan favorites - on Friday, August 14th when they make their first-ever appearance at Central Park's famed SummerStage in Rumsey Playfield as part of Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series.  

The music video for "Live Forever" made its world broadcast premiere on CMT's Hot 20 Countdown, CMT Artists App and CMT.com. The clip was directed by Collin Tilley and features both narrative and performance by the all-American band in a new and unique performance space called THE CUBE.  To watch now, click HERE.

The band learned of their nomination as they boarded a plane to Europe to participate in "Celebrity Fight Night in Italy," a seven-day experience hosted by legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli.  Celebrity Fight Night is an annual event held in both Phoenix and Tuscany benefitting multiple charities including Bocelli's foundation and the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. The event will also feature guests Reba McEntire, Tony Bennett, David Foster, Sharon Stone, Zubin Mehta, and Ronnie Dunn.  From the airport they responded to the news - "We were so thrilled to hear about our CMA nomination and are grateful to be recognized by our musical peers. It's hard to believe it will be our 6th trip to the CMA Awards!  We are honored to be representing country music across the globe, and we will be sure to toast the Country Music Association and our fellow nominees from Tuscany!"

ABOUT THE BAND PERRY

 

Grammy® Award-winning sibling trio The Band Perry have proven an unstoppable presence in music, matching their major critical acclaim with massive mainstream success. Within just years of making their platinum-selling self-titled debut, frontwoman Kimberly Perry and her brothers Reid and Neil have already shown the history-defying power of their colossal appeal, playing sold out shows around the world.

 

Along with introducing the group as a dynamic new force in music, 2010's The Band Perry delivered five hit singles: the sextuple-platinum chart-topper "If I Die Young" (whose video's now Vevo-certified for reaching 100 million plays), the platinum-selling "You Lie" and "All Your Life" (a #1 single), "Hip to My Heart," and the gold-certified "Postcard from Paris." For their gold-certified 2013 follow-up Pioneer, The Band Perry delved deeper into an edgy, rock-and-roll-inspired sound while staying true to their Southern roots, offering up the platinum-selling #1 singles "Better Dig Two" and "DONE." (a first for Reid and Neil as songwriters) as well as smash hits "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" and "Chainsaw." Kicking off the WE ARE PIONEERS WORLD TOUR in late 2013, the trio quickly established themselves as an incendiary live act and global powerhouse, playing hundreds of venues from Seattle to Sweden.

 

Throughout 2014, The Band Perry built on that momentum by making appearances on major TV and award shows, became ACM Vocal Group of the Year, picked up a CMT Award for their "DONE." video, and marked their first USO tour stop with a performance for American troops at Royal Air Force Lakenheath in the United Kingdom. Later in the year, The Band Perry released a spirited rendition of country legend Glen Campbell's "Gentle On My Mind" (featured on the soundtrack to the James Keach-directed documentary Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me) and - in February 2015 - won the Grammy® Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Having also earned multiple awards from the likes of The Country Music Association, CMT Music Awards, the American Country Awards, and the Academy of Country Music, The Band Perry have received multiple nominations from the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, People's Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and The American Country Countdown Awards as well. The band is currently nominated for a 2015 CMA Award for 'Vocal Group of the Year'. 

 

With their recent honors including being named ambassadors for Teen Cancer America (a charity founded by The Who's Roger Daltrey), The Band Perry are currently gearing up for the release of their third studio album due out for release later this year by Big Machine Label Group. The band's anthemic new single "Live Forever" and its accompanying music video are out now. For tour dates and more on TBP, visit www.thebandperry.com.
