Bryan Adams hitting the Fox Theatre in April, PBS special to air in March

Adams will be performing a set that will honor not only the 30th Anniversary of 'Reckless’ – a deluxe version of which has been released via UMC/Polydor this past November, featuring exclusive expanded bonus material – but also his endless catalogue of anthemic hits.
Since its release in 1984, ‘Reckless’ has gone 5 times Platinum in the U.S. alone and has sold over 12 million worldwide. It spawned ground-breaking hits such as "Run to You", "Kids Wanna Rock", “Somebody", "Summer of '69", “One Night Love Affair" and "It's Only Love" a duet with the incomparable Tina Turner. 'Reckless' also gave Bryan is first U.S. #1 on Billboard with "Heaven" as well as a Diamond Award for over a million sold in his home country of Canada. The album was the turning point in Adams' career, as his music opened up new countries, resulting in his hugely successful World Wide in '85 Tour.
As Canada's best known ambassador, Bryan Adams has spent the last three decades making music history. He has sold upward of 65 million records, toured six continents and achieved #1 status in over 40 countries around the world. He has been awarded the Order of Canada, has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and has a Star on Canada's Walk of Fame. Adams has been nominated for, and won several Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Grammy's, has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has been inducted into Wembley's Square of Fame.

With his distinctive vocals, Canadian born singer-songwriter Bryan Adams has been one of the most successful international performers in contemporary rock music, selling over 65 million records in a career that has spanned more than three decades.  Adams rose to fame with his Cuts Like a Knife album and became a global star with his 1984 album Reckless.  In 1991, his Waking Up the Neighbours album included the single "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," which went on to become one of the best-selling singles of all time. 
Adams current album, Tracks of My Years, is his first studio release in six years, and features a wide range of musical styles reflective of a time when rock was played alongside pop, country and R&B.   Great Performances captures Adams in peak performance during his current world tour, performing favorites from the new album as well as his own chart-topping hits. The performance – including "Here I Am," "Summer of '69," "Heaven," and "Straight from the Heart" -- was filmed at Toronto's Elgin Theater in July 2014, and marks the singer's PBS debut.
Bryan Adams in Concert will air on THIRTEEN'S Great Performances in March on PBS. (Check local listings.) (In New York, THIRTEEN will air the program on Monday, March 2 at 9:30 p.m.)

Multi-platinum, GRAMMY® Award-winning rock band Imagine Dragons are gearing up for next week's release of their new album Smoke + Mirrors, which is due Tuesday, February 17^th, via KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records. Snippets of each of its 13 tracks are streaming now on the band's website, www.imaginedragonsmusic.com. In an early review, Britain's Q magazine has already called Smoke + Mirrors "a modern pop-rock gem."
The first single from Smoke + Mirrors, "I Bet My Life," is currently Top 5 at Modern Rock radio, while the video has racked up more than 11.6 million views. The band is also premiering a video today for their new track, "Shots" which can be seen HERE on Vevo.  Directed by Robert Hales (Alicia Keyes, Jack White, Gnarls Barkley), the video was inspired by the album artwork created by San Diego based painter Tim Cantor.
Smoke + Mirrors is available for pre-order on iTunes. Those who pre-order the album receive instant downloads of the first single "I Bet My Life" and the songs "Shots" and "Gold." In addition, an exclusive deluxe edition available only at Target, featuring four extra tracks and exclusive cover art, will go on sale in stores and on Target.com on February 17^th. That version is currently available for pre-order on Target.com. Imagine Dragons partnered with Target for a first-of-its-kind broadcast debut of the song "Shots."  Watch it HERE. 
"Sophomore efforts do not often show growth and creative prowess," says Alex Da Kid, Producer/Founder of KIDinaKORNER. "I am proud to say that Smoke + Mirrors accomplishes both and KIDinaKORNER Records is extremely excited for the band as they take on 2015 and beyond."
To celebrate the release of Smoke + Mirrors, Imagine Dragons will make several upcoming TV appearances. They will perform on Good Morning America and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on February 17^th and The Ellen DeGeneres Show on February 20^th.

Formed in 2009 and featuring lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman, Imagine Dragons earned a grassroots following by independently releasing a series of EPs. After Alex Da Kid signed them to his KIDinaKORNER/Interscope label, the band made its major-label debut with the release of Continued Silence, a 2012 EP featuring the 2x platinum breakthrough single "It's Time." Night Visions arrived later that year and Imagine Dragons found themselves on a skyward trajectory that saw the album debut at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, sell nearly four million copies worldwide, and became the No. 1 album on Spotify Worldwide for 2013. Night Visions' second single, the 9x-platinum "Radioactive," hit No. 1 on the Billboard Rock chart and earned the band a 2014 Grammy for "Best Rock Performance." It is the best-selling rock song in U.S. digital history. The third single, "Demons," hit No. 1 at Alternative and Top 40 radio, and has sold 3.9 million copies in the U.S. The band has sold more than 24 million tracks worldwide and has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.

	Steely Dan, Elvis Costello & The Imposters book Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre show
	February 12, 2015 — The Steely Dan ROCKABYE GOLLIE ANGEL TOUR kicks off in April with seven western shows bracketing two weekends at 2015's Coachella Festival. Then the tour explodes into summer as Special Guest Elvis Costello & The Imposters joins the bill for 23 U.S. dates running July 6 - August 12. [ Full Tour Schedule ] Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Walter Becker and Donald Fagen will bring Steely Dan to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 10 and April 17. A fortnight of area shows — including an added second show in San Diego — rounds out The Dan's spring ramp-up to a smoking summer schedule. Said schedule consists of 23 U.S. dates running July 6 to August 12, reaching north, south, east, and west. When Special Guest and fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Elvis Costello ( & The Imposters) join up for all the summer dates, audiences will enjoy a full evening of masterly musicianship and songwriting nonparei; truly, a music-lover's dream of a double bill.

See steelydan.com for the full touring schedule (which is also below) and ticketing information. All events will also be posted on Steely Dan's Facebook page. Becker and Fagen's long-standing supporting ensemble has earned the reputation of perhaps the finest touring band on stage today. The Santa Barbara Independent concurs: "... one of the greatest recording groups of the late 20th century looks set to also be remembered as one of the best touring acts of the 21st." Joining Fagen on vocals and keyboards, and Becker on guitar, eight individual virtuosos come together to animate selections from The Dan's extraordinary four-decade catalog, serving up the tight, irresistible grooves and the swinging, sleek aural richness of one of the most iconic repertoires in modern popular music. The Dan's inimitably sly, subversive lyrics over rich ensembles, blazing solo work, and soulful vocal harmonies; they all add up to sets "distinguished by ... muscularity, finesse and chopsmanship." (Toronto Globe & Mail) — and they also add up to still more audiences blown back in their seats — when they're not up dancing — by astonishing musical power and the psychosonic joy of hearing their favorites brought to life. These superb supporting musicians are: Keith Carlock on drums, Freddie Washington on bass, Jim Beard on keyboards, Jon Herington on guitar, Michael Leonhart on trumpet, Jim Pugh on trombone, Roger Rosenberg on baritone saxophone, Walt Weiskopf on saxophone, with La Tanya Hall, Carolyn Leonhart, and Cindy Mizelle offering up the sublime vocal harmonies emblematic of that utterly unique "Steely Dan sound".

PREVIEW THE MAVERICKS’ MONO ON NPR: FIRST LISTEN  NOW

 

Musical Comrades Release “Timeless” New Album (2/17) &
Launch Mono Mundo Tour (2/19) Next Week
 

 

Album Cover Art Courtesy of The Valory Music Co.

Nashville, TN ) – In anticipation of THE MAVERICKS’ album release next Tuesday, February 17, NPR: First Listen is previewing MONO (The Valory Music Co.) for fans a full week in advance. Esteemed critic Ann Powers claims, “Music this seductive earns the title timeless." Listen now via http://www.npr.org/2015/02/08/384056172/first-listen-the-mavericks-mono.

"Mono begins with a salsa workout, the sexy ‘All Night Long,’ and travels to the band's long-favorite Tejano territory for ‘Nitty Gritty.’ The fluidity of Latin music infuses the whole album, even when the flavor is Caribbean (‘When I'm With You’), heartaches-by-the-number country (‘Out The Door’) or Big Bopper rock (‘Stories We Could Tell’),” explains NPR’s Powers. "Their weapons are consummate skill, the clarion charisma of singer Raul Malo, and the wisdom to know that fun is what wins in the end.” 

While in the studio the band realized that their songs required a different approach and the idea of creating an album without relying on stereo tricks of modern recording – in mono – was born. But it wasn’t the process alone that solidified the album title; with MONO, the band embraces cultural and musical diversity.

“When we went in to record this record, we were very resolved: we’d been through the time on the road, making the last album, living together as friends and as a band...We have nothing to lose, and only the music to gain,” says Malo, who along with his musical comrades believe in bringing people together – often in the name of good times and great music – which is the most universal language of all.

From their garage band roots in Miami Beach, The Mavericks have had a skill for melding a wealth of musical influences and getting people to groove. Industry awards, platinum albums, world tours, breakups and reformations later, The Mavericks recorded their critically-acclaimed album IN TIME and re-introduced music lovers to the band’s genre-defying music in 2013.

With the new release of MONO, The Mavericks find themselves making the most relevant music of their career, and according to NPR, “became great by cutting through the din in smoky rooms where studio tricks didn't factor in — only a killer voice, indelible hooks and the ability to draw in even the most distracted listeners.”

"The experience of making this record was quite unique. We had the luxury of a very finely tuned band and the energy from the last two years of touring under our belts. We all believed that it was going to be special and I think we would all agree that, our record MONO best represents what our band does live,” expresses guitarist Eddie Perez.

On February 19, The Mavericks will kick off their Mono Mundo Tour with headline dates domestically in Boston, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, Houston and internationally in London, Paris, Cologne, Hamburg, among others.

Now, the San Francisco-based band and its striking front woman with a girl-next-door demeanor step out with Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers, a luminous, heartfelt patchwork of California folk-rock, brisk Americana and show-stopping soul, punctuated with fresh four-part harmonies, crisp rock guitar and Nicki’s soaring, nuanced vocals that some critics say remind them of Linda Ronstadt.

Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus LIVE! is more than just the book. 

 

After beginning in Paris in 2007, Men are From Mars–Women are From Venus LIVE! has been seen by more than one million people around Europe. It debuted in the United States in February 2013 in Raleigh, North Carolina and will be playing to audiences around the United States and Canada throughout the year.

 

This hysterical show will have couples elbowing each other all evening as they see themselves on stage. Sexy and fast paced, this show is definitely for adults, but will leave audiences laughing and giggling like little kids!

 

Starring in this theatrical comedy is PETER STORY. Peter has appeared in primetime shows on all three major networks--some of his favorite credits include CSI (directed by Quentin Tarantino), Without a Trace, Ugly Betty and recurring roles on Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show and Rob Lowe’s The Lyon’s Den.  He stars opposite Steve Guttenberg in the cheesy horror film, Cornered, and can be seen opposite Weed’s Elizabeth Perkins in the hilarious short, Le Chat Est Mort. 

 

He is a proud alum of the New Harmony Project and an avid storyteller with The Moth.  

 

Peter's story of how he and his wife won a dream wedding competition was just featured nationally on NPR’s The Moth Radio Hour, a show featuring the country's best storytellers.

 

Commenting on the show, Peter said, “It's a great recipe for a night out: a little storytelling blended with some comedy and a dash of sage wisdom from the book. A delicious evening of entertainment.”

 

When Mars and Venus collide, the adventures are earth-shatteringly hysterical.

 

 

Since being published in 1992, John Gray’s “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus,” exploring the differences between the sexes, has sold in excess of 50 million copies, been translated into 40 different languages and is one of the most recognizable titles in the world. Gray has written 17 books and become one of the most trusted relationship authors today, appearing on the national lecture circuit and on such TV shows as “Good Morning America,” “Oprah” and “Larry King Live.”

 

Producer, St. Louis based Emery Entertainment has produced or promoted thousands of events around the globe, including superstar attractions Blue Man Group, David Copperfield and James Taylor.

 

The talented team assembled for this production continues with the award winning playwright Eric Coble, direction by Broadway veteran Mindy Cooper, and animation & video production by the talented animators at Bazillion Productions.
