HIGHLIGHTS FROM VIDEO:

“Everything that I’m trying to be with music and now somehow television, Glen Campbell was the inventor of that in Country music in my eyes,” says Blake Shelton.

See Paul McCartney meet Glen Campbell backstage at the 2012 GRAMMY Awards where he humorously sings “Rhinestone Cowboy” to the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Winner.

“We always kind of fight for respect a little bit as Country players. And here’s a guy that played on these records that, he could stand toe to toe with anybody,” says Brad Paisley.

“He’s left his mark in the music industry time and time again and will continue to and he’s continuing to do it now, again, in the latter part of his life…. I find that to be so inspiring. Musicians like Glen, it’s magical, what they did. It’s magic,” says Chad Smith (Drummer, Red Hot Chili Peppers).

EUROPE’s place as a legendary classic rock band was platinum-stamped early in their career, having enjoyed an explosive period of worldwide success in the ‘80s, under-pinned by their hit album and single The Final Countdown, before going on hiatus between 1992 and 2003. They reunited and quickly settled into a period of re-establishment which has seen them re-enforce their reputation worldwide as one of the premier purveyors of blues-tinged classic rock with an edge and some kick. Their last album, 2012’s Bag of Bones, saw EUROPE hit the UK top 40 rock album charts and debut at #2 on the Swedish national charts.

 

War of Kings is set to take full advantage of the global groundwork EUROPE have put in over the last few years.

 

 

EUROPE is:

Joey Tempest – lead vocals, acoustic & rhythm guitar, keyboards

John Norum – lead & rhythm guitars, backing vocals

John Leven – bass, backing vocals

Mic Michaeli – keyboards, piano, backing vocals, rhythm guitar

Ian Haugland – drums, percussion, backing vocals

Electric Trio Score ACM Nod for Vocal Event of the Year
 

Photo Credit: Brian Tipton

Nashville, TN – THE CADILLAC THREE have taken over in the latest installment of CMT LISTEN UP. Recently filmed in the trio’s native Nashville, the live taping highlights the buzz Jaren Johnston (Guitar & Lead Vocals), Kelby Ray (Bass Steel Guitar, Dobro, Acoustic & Vocals) and Neil Mason (Drums, Percussion & Vocals) are creating across the country. Dubbed Best New Band at the UK’s 2014 Classic Rock Awards and labeled as one of the 10 New Artists You Need to Know: Summer 2014 by ROLLING STONE, TC3’s self-described “country fuzz” sound is showcased throughout these exclusive videos. Starting tomorrow, February 21, fans will be able to watch the achingly raw “White Lightning” on CMT and CMT Pure. All songs and a behind-the-scenes interview from the event are online now.

In their post-show interview, CMT’s Samantha Stephens noted, “This may be one of the most energetic, best Listen Ups we’ve ever experienced.” Playing to a packed house, the band’s rollicking set included one-of-a-kind favorites “White Lightning” and “The South” as well as new tunes “Thank God for the Radio” and “Leave It at the Bar”.

On the heels of two GRAMMY nominations for Jaren’s writing and producing efforts, The Cadillac Three will vie for ACM Awards Vocal Event of the Year with “The South” featuring Florida Georgia Line, Dierks Bentley and Mike Eli (Eli Young Band).

Currently on their headlining AVIATORS AND RADIATORS TOUR, TC3 has brought their raucous energy down the East Coast with stops in Virginia Beach, Winston-Salem, Washington D.C. and Buffalo, NY. They will once again join Eric Church on the road this spring for THE OUTSIDERS TOUR.

An Evening With

David Sedaris

The Best-Selling Author, Humorist and Contributor to

This American Life

Live at the Peabody Opera House

On April 21, 2015

 

 

KWMU is pleased to present An Evening with David Sedaris, author of the previous bestsellers Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and regular National Public Radio contributor who will be appearing for one night only at the Peabody Opera House on Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at 7:30pm.

 

Celebrating the June 3, 2014 paperback release of his latest title, #1 New York Times Bestseller, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls, author David Sedaris comes to St. Louis for an evening of engaging recollections and featuring all-new readings.

 

Tweaking the familiar until it warps, David Sedaris mines poignant comedy from his peculiar childhood in North Carolina, his bizarre career path, and his move with his lover to France. Including his recent releases, the New York Times’ bestselling books When You Are Engulfed in Flames and Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary, David Sedaris’ wickedly witty observations of the ordinary-bizarre are always sure to deliver insights and laughs. One of six children in a second-generation Greek family, he grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina.  In 1977, he dropped out of Kent State University to hitchhike around the country.  Aside from working as an elf, Sedaris has worked a number of charmingly quirky jobs such as a house painter, an apple picker, an aide in a mental hospital, a creative writing teacher at the Art Institute of Chicago, and an apartment cleaner.

 

Sedaris made his comic debut recounting his strange-but-true experiences of being a Macy’s elf, reading his Santaland Diaries on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition in 1992.  His sardonic humor and incisive social critique have made him one of NPR’s most popular and humorous commentators. In 2001, he was named Humorist of the Year by Time magazine and received the Thurber Prize for American Humor.

 

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, February 27th at Noon. Reserved tickets priced from $40 to $55 may be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com, by phone at (800) 745-3000, or visiting the Ford Box Office at Scottrade Center.
