Due to the success of the 2011 world tour celebrating the 35th Anniversary of Peter Frampton’s multi-platinum selling live album Frampton Comes Alive!, the tour has been extended into 2012.

The three-hour show features a complete performance of Frampton Comes Alive! that the Montreal Gazette describes as “a highly-spirited and expertly-played recreation of the live album.” Frampton will also perform other highlights from his catalog, including his Grammy® Award-winning instrumental album, 2006’s Fingerprints. Of the tour the Los Angeles Times says “…the British virtuoso is still making sweet music” while the Santa Barbara Independent describes Frampton’s set as “pleasing those who came to hear the hits and impressing the musicians in the crowd with his still-smoking guitar chops.”

Most artists with over 12 years in the music industry lose their initial fire, but Chevelle’s burns brighter than ever. The underdog spirit has characterized the Chicago alternative hard rock trio since its independent debut, 1999’s Point #1. Shortly after bursting onto the scene, the group made its major label breakthrough on the platinum-selling Wonder What’s Next in 2002. The album spawned chart-topping hits “Send the Pain Below” and “The Red,” leading to high-profile tours like OZZfest.

Meanwhile, their next effort, 2004’s This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In, exceeded gold status and the follow-up Vena Sera bolstered their prominence even further. Most recently, the band scored its highest entry into the Billboard Top 200 with Sci-Fi Crimes in 2009 debuting at #6. “We play music because it’s what we love,” states Sam Loeffler (Drums). “It’s been that way since the beginning. We’re going to continue to ride this wave and see where it goes.” Continue Reading…

Along with his famous guitar, Lucille, King has revolutionized and reinvigorated blues music and brought inspiration to musicians and fans of every style. His lifetime of musicianship was honored in 1987 when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him at number three on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.

Over the course of his career, King has been the recipient of multiple awards and recognitions. In 1970, he claimed the Grammy for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his seminal recording, “The Thrill Is Gone.” Since then, he has won several more Grammy awards for his recordings “There Must Be a Better World Somewhere,” “Blues ‘n Jazz,” and “My Guitar Sings the Blues,” among others.

B.B. has mixed traditional blues, jazz, swing, mainstream pop and jump into a unique sound. His singing is richly melodic, both vocally and in the “singing” that comes from his guitar.

Kottke, an innovative acoustic guitar virtuoso, absorbed a variety of musical influences as a child. He first learned to play the trombone and violin, before switching to the 6 and 12-string guitars, where he has become known for his mostly instrumental, and unique finger-picking style.

Kottke avoids claiming any one style of music when it comes to his guitar-playing, saying there’s “no description except to say it’s very rhythmic,” and that he writes all of it.

Kottke produced two duet albums, “Clone” and “Sixty Six Steps” with Phish bassist Mike Gordon, and said they have ideas for another one. He’s also thinking about a new solo album. “I’m always working. It’s fun for me to write,” Kottke said. “When you get enough you go into the studio. “As long as I’m writing I’m happy” Continue Reading…

Since 1995, Blue October has been a refuge for its members and fans worldwide. Over the course of five albums, achieving platinum sales with singles like “Hate Me” and “Into The Blue October Ocean,” and non-stop touring has solidified the band’s presence in the music world. The jarringly frank “Hate Me,” is one of many reasons that this modern rock outfit Blue October evolved from an intensely beloved cult band to mainstream radio conquerors.

They’ve had high-profile film and TV placements on The Sopranos, Saw III, and NCIS to name a few. Lead Singer Justin Furstenfeld was also featured in a unique tour alongside Twilight author Stephanie Meyer in 2008. Plus, they’ve played to fans in nearly every corner of the world. However, it all simply set the stage for their new album, Any Man in America. Continue Reading…

Maryland rockers CLUTCH are teaming up with HELLYEAH for a North American Co-Headlining Tour this Spring with a Tuesday, May 1st date in Springfield, MO at the Gillioz Theatre. Tickets are on sale Friday, February 24th and are $27.00 in advance. Both bands will play full headlining sets.

Clutch is one of the most consistently inventive riff factories in heavy music. Early salvos focused on sludgy, hardcore-fueled ferocity, but the band’s sound has evolved to embrace psych, blues, gritty funk, and Southern-rock swagger. Guitarist Tim Sult’s crafty six-string pugilism and the brutal grooves of bassist Dan Mainesand with drummer Jean-Paul Gaster provide the perfect platform for frontman Neil Fallon’s Pentecostal fire.

The only formula that Clutch will ever subscribe to is one of progression-on stage and off. Live, Clutch still own every stage they stomp onto. They remain a highlight at major festivals and music events worldwide from the UK’s Download and Australia’s Meredith Music Festival to Bonnaroo in the States. They were also a top act at the renowned Austin City Limits Festival in 2009. No matter what the forum, Clutch have cultivated a live show that can’t be stopped.

“The live show has stayed very true to form,” explains Neil. “Our overall approach and attitude is no different than it was 15 years ago. We want people feel to like they saw a rock concert. We’re not adding a lot of bells and whistles. It’s just amps, microphones and the crowd. It’s like an event or gathering and it’s developed a party atmosphere.”

HELLYEAH is an American heavy metal supergroup, consisting of Mudvayne vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett, Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell, Damageplan bassist Bob Zilla, and former Pantera and Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul.

Every night is a Friday night for HELLYEAH and their fans. No matter what the situation, HELLYEAH’s mission is singular: to provide fans with good time, spirit-lifting hard rock. When you are at a HELLYEAH show or listening to their music, everything else takes a backseat to feeling good and focusing on living in the ‘here and now.’ Because that’s what real life is all about.

Switchfoot’s roots can be traced back to the beaches of San Diego in the mid-’90s, when they connected as surfers. Though they competed in national surf championships on weekends and earned product endorsements from equipment companies, the real bond came from a common love of music. They decided to form a band and chose the name Switchfoot, a surfing term. They then put themselves through months of sweaty garage band workouts, and then hit the road. After just 20 gigs, they signed a deal and released Legend of Chin in 1997, then released three more albums before making their major label debut in 2003. Switchfoot has released four more studio albums since that time, including the latest Vice Verses, which include the singles “Dark Horses” and “Restless.” Continue Reading…
