Summit Grove at Jillians

Las Vegas

June 21, 2008

Summit Grove originated in early December 2007 through a Christian youth program called YoungLife, where Jason Carter and Vincent Rennie met and discussed making music. Vincent had written a song entitled "The One I'm Searching For" (later renamed "Jump Start My Broken Heart") for his Creative Writing class as a make-up assignment for unexcused work. The song eventually caught the attention of Jason when discussing starting the band with Vincent, so the song officially became the first on the bill for the project. After dropping out of the band One Pin Short a year before, Dominic Rennie (Vincent's brother) quickly became the drummer for the no-named band. Before the band would get any further, a name was to be decided .. writing out over twenty names on a white board, nothing had been decided. It wasn't until Brad was heading home that the name Summit Grove popped in his head. Through a telephone call, the name became official.

On February 1st Summit Grove competed and won the Fusion Battle of the Bands at Central Christian sparking new interest from music seekers across the Vegas valley. On April 12 of 2008, Summit Grove was already playing with bands such as Secondhand Serenade, despite only being 5 months old. With promising shows ahead, Summit Grove will be producing new sounds and a highly anticipated EP.

Loggins continued his career in the 1970s. After attracting the attention of fellow singer-songwriter Jim Messina, the two began a duo career as Loggins and Messina. It lasted until 1976. In 1977 Loggins went on to produce his first solo album, Celebrate Me Home, which included the hit "I Believe In Love," originally sung by Barbra Streisand in A Star Is Born. Nightwatch, a popular album released in 1978, included the hit "Whenever I Call You Friend", a duet with Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. He followed this in 1979 with Keep the Fire. Loggins also wrote the song "What a Fool Believes" with Michael McDonald. He is known to have recorded it before the Doobies did. The following year he and Michael McDonald wrote This Is It which helped cure his ailing father. The song earned him a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal. Over the next decade, Loggins recorded many hit songs for movie soundtracks. This began with "I'm Alright" (peaked at #7 in the U.S.), "Mr. Night" and "Lead the Way" from Caddyshack. Hits followed with "Footloose" and "I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)" from Footloose, "Meet Me Halfway" from Over the Top, "Danger Zone" and "Playing With the Boys" from Top Gun.

Although critics have compared her contemporary work less favorably to that of her initial breakthroughs, the critical and commercial success of her innovative multi-platinum albums, music videos and choreography have contributed to Jackson's gloabl success.
Though Jackson is listed by the Recording Industry Association of America as the eleventh top-selling female artist in the United States with 26 million certified albums, Billboard magazine named her one of the top-ten selling artists in the history of contemporary music. She is ranked as the ninth most successful act in the history of rock and roll and the second most successful female artist in pop music history, having sold over 100 million albums worldwide.

In 1981 Grant relocated to Barbados and built the Blue Wave studio complex. Around this time Grant moved Ice Records distribution in Europe to RCA and recorded the album, Killer on the Rampage.

In 1991, Grant was the host of the first annual Caribbean Music Awards at the Harlem’s Apollo Theater in New York.

Bow Wow at Las Vegas House of Blues

2008-06-17T09:07:00.001-07:00

Bow Wow at the Las Vegas House of Blues

August 16, 2008

Bow Wow (formerly Lil' Bow Wow), is an American rapper, actor, and music producer. He released his debut album Beware of Dog at age 13, then under the stage name Lil' Bow Wow, which he carried until his 2003 album Unleashed, under simply Bow Wow. Two more albums followed, Wanted in 2005 and The Price of Fame in 2006. In 2007, he released the collaboration album Face Off with Omarion.

At the age of 13, he released his debut album, Beware of Dog, featuring Snoop Dogg, Jagged Edge, Jermaine Dupri, Xscape, and Da Brat. It spawned the singles, "Bounce With Me", "Bow Wow (That's My Name)" featuring Snoop Dogg, "Puppy Love" with Jagged Edge, and "Ghetto Girls". It sold nearly two and a half million copies.[1] He was also featured on the "Wild Wild West" soundtrack, performing "The Stick Up" with Jermaine Dupri.

In 2001, he released his second album, Doggy Bag. Singles from the album were "Take Ya Home" with Jagged Edge, and "Thank You". It went certified double platinum. Guest appearances include Xscape, Jagged Edge, and Da Brat.

In 2003, he released his third album, Unleashed. He dropped the "Lil" from his name, now calling himself simply "Bow Wow." The first single off the album was "Let's Get Down," featuring Birdman, the founder of Cash Money Records. This single became a success. The second single was then released, "My Baby", featuring Jagged Edge. Unlike his previous albums, this one was not produced under the mentorship of Jermaine Dupri, and solidly earned gold status in spite of Dupri's absence. Guest appearances include Jagged Edge, Birdman, Mario, and Amerie.

In 2005, Bow Wow released his fourth album, Wanted. The first single was "Let Me Hold You", featuring Omarion. This song became a hit. Then Bow Wow released his second single, "Like You", featuring Ciara. After the single release, Bow Wow and Ciara began dating, but after a few months, they broke up. Wanted's third single, "Fresh Azimiz", features J-Kwon and Jermaine Dupri. The album was certified double platinum. Guest appearances include J-Kwon, Jermaine Dupri, Omarion, Ciara, Snoop Dogg, and T. Waters.

In 2006, Bow Wow released his fifth album, The Price of Fame. Like Busta Rhymes and Ludacris, Bow Wow shaved off his cornrows for a new look. His first single was "Shortie Like Mine", featuring Chris Brown. This became a hit. Then there was a conflict between choosing a second single. He wanted "I'm a Flirt" to be the single, but at the last minute changed it to "Outta My System", featuring T-Pain, which became a success. R. Kelly then used the song and created a remix which features T.I. and T-Pain, and made this his debut single for his album Double Up. This reached #12 on the billboard chart and Bow Wow shared credit. This went platinum only. Guest appearances include Chris Brown, T-Pain, Lil Scrappy, Lil Wayne, Short Dawg, Pimp C, Da Brat, R. Kelly, and Khleo Thomas.

Bow Wow and Omarion released a collaborative album on December 11, 2007, Face Off. The first single was "Girlfriend," which peaked at #33 on the Billboard Top 100. The second single is "Hey Baby (Jump Off)." Guest producers include T-Pain, Nitti, The Neptunes, Scott Storch, Timbaland, and Rick Rubin.

Bow Wow is currently working on his seventh studio album entitled H.I.M.(History In Making). The album is slated to be released in late 2008 and feature production from Swizz Beatz, Lil Ronnie, Jermaine Dupri, Soulja Boy, and DJ Khaled. Guest appearances include Soulja Boy, Swizz Beatz, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Young Jinsu, and others. Several tracks like "Pole In My Basement", "Shake It", and "Stunt When I See U" have been leaked on the internet.

He recently was featured in Paula DeAnda's first single "Doin' Too Much" from his debut album Paula DeAnda.

Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly

Las Vegas Hilton

August 8 and 9, 2008

Maze a soul / quiet storm band, was established in San Francisco in the early 1970s. The band can more or less be considered as the project of former The Butlers, and later Raw Soul, member Frankie Beverly; being songwriter, record producer, arranger, singer, keyboardist and guitarist.
Frankie Beverly’s smooth, distinct voice is instantly recognized, and Maze’s laid-back, bass driven musical arrangements differ a lot from other soul acts. Their signature sound is especially vivid on the classic "Live in New Orleans."

Their most acclaimed recording is Live in New Orleans (three quarters of which was recorded at the Saenger Theatre, on November 14-15, 1980). By that time, the band had a reputation as one of the best live acts in American soul music, also enjoying a following in the United Kingdom with considerable promotional support from British DJ Robbie Vincent. In 1989, they released the hit album Silky Soul, plus Back to Basics in 1993, and the live recording at London's Hammersmith Odeon in 1994.
In October 2004 Twilight appeared in popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on Funk radio station Bounce FM.

Hootie and the Blowfish to perform at Star of the Desert Arena

August 23, 2008

Hootie & the Blowfish is an American rock band that enjoyed widespread popularity in the second half of the 1990s. It was originally formed in 1989 at the University of South Carolina by Darius Rucker, Dean Felber, Jim Sonefeld, and Mark Bryan. The band has recorded seven studio albums to date, and has charted sixteen singles on various Billboard singles charts. Their debut album, Cracked Rear View, is tied for greatest selling debut album, going 16x platinum.

The group independently released two cassette demo EPs in 1991 and 1992. In 1993, they pressed 50,000 copies of a self-released EP, Kootchypop, which was named after a reference to female genitalia in a stand-up comedy act by What's Happening co-star Shirley Hemphill.[citation needed] Their mainstream debut album was Cracked Rear View (1994). It was an instant success, ultimately going platinum 16 times in the U.S. and becoming the best-selling album of 1995. The album was propelled by four hits, "Hold My Hand" (U.S. #10), "Let Her Cry" (U.S. #9), "Only Wanna Be With You" (U.S. #6), and "Time" (U.S. #14). In 1995, Hootie and the Blowfish and Bob Dylan reached an out-of-court settlement for the group's unauthorized use of Dylan's lyrics in their song "Only Wanna Be With You." Miami Dolphins' Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino appeared in the band's video for the song "Only Wanna Be With You", along with several other athletes.
The band won the "Best New Artist" award at the 1996 Grammy Awards. Hootie & the Blowfish appeared on MTV Unplugged on the eve of the release of their second album, 1996's Fairweather Johnson. Though sales began promisingly, and it contained the hit single "Old Man and Me" (U.S. #13), the album quickly ran out of steam, having sold four million copies in the U.S. Hootie & the Blowfish has since released three more studio albums: Musical Chairs, Hootie & the Blowfish, and Looking for Lucky. They also released a B-sides and rarities compilation in 2000 entitled Scattered, Smothered and Covered. This album is named in tribute of Waffle House, a popular Southern chain of all-night diners. Specifically, the title refers to an order of hash browns covered with diced onions and melted cheese.
In 1995, Hootie & the Blowfish contributed the song "Hey Hey What Can I Do" to the Encomium tribute album to Led Zeppelin. Their cover of Canadian group 54-40's "I Go Blind", originally released on the soundtrack to the TV series Friends in 1995, did not appear on Cracked Rear View or Fairweather Johnson, but nevertheless became a surprise hit at radio in 1997 after three singles from Fairweather Johnson had been released. Both "Hey Hey What Can I Do" and "I Go Blind" were later released on the collection Scattered, Smothered and Covered.
The band currently has an extensive touring schedule, including an annual New Year's Eve show at the Silverton Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

By January 2003, Lyfe had showcased his talent to a nation-wide audience on "Showtime In Harlem" (The Apollo). He received a standing ovation for his acoustic performance of original material, and made his mark by winning the amateur competition five times. "I felt blessed just knowing that at least somebody appreciated my struggle, my experience and my life." During his success at the Apollo, Lyfe began to independently sell his EP "What Is Love". Two songs from the EP, "What Is Love" & "She Got Kids" , garnered regular spins at local radio, which aided in the sale of thousands of EPs. To add to Lyfe's success, calls began to pour in from countless agents, promoters and record labels, which prompted the Ohio native to move to NYC to make his dream come true. Soon after Lyfe arrived in New York, he wrote and co-produced a song for a major label, made a cameo in a music video, appeared in publications and performed many solo shows and opening acts for major recording artists, including the most memorable opener in front of a sold out crowd @ Radio City Music Hall for Hip-Hop star Nelly, and his spontaneous serenade to New Yorkers during the October 14th blackout @ The Cafeteria in Chelsea. Other noteworthy venues and events include 2003 NBA All-Star events, NAACP Convention where he performed "Thank God for the NAACP" (an anthem he wrote for the organization), world famous B.B. King's Lounge & Grill, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Tennessee State University and a host of clubs and schools.
After much success with his debut, Lyfe begin to work on his second album. Lyfe became a mainstream artist and it showed with the well known producers and features that he had on his album. The name The Phoenix, refers to the Greek mythology Phoenix, symbolizing a rebirth, resurrection, or renewal. The anticipation of his new album led to many TV appearances, including Good Morning America. He is a good friend of Young Buck. Buck appeared on Lyfe's album on a song called "Slow Down" and in return, he appeared on Young Buck's album "Buck the World" on self-titled song.
Lyfe's newest album is "Lyfe Change" which was released earlier this year.

Toad The Wet Sprocket

Las Vegas House of Blues

August 31, 2008

Toad the Wet Sprocket is an American folk rock band consisting of singer Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning, and drummer Randy Guss.

Toad the Wet Sprocket was formed in 1986 at San Marcos High School just outside of Santa Barbara, California, when singer/songwriter Glen Phillips was only 14 and a freshman; the other members were 17 and juniors. The band drew its name from the Eric Idle monologue "Rock Notes" on Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album from 1980, although the name is featured in a parody of The Old Grey Whistle Test on Rutland Weekend Television in 1975. The band's first public appearance was at an open-mic talent contest in September 1986. The band lost the competition.
Toad the Wet Sprocket's first album came out in 1989. Bread & Circus was self-financed through their label, Abe Records. The album spawned the singles "Way Away" and "One Little Girl," which made the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, but did not receive much attention.
The follow-up to Bread & Circus, Pale, was released in 1990 and saw their sound mature. During the recording of the album, Toad signed to Columbia Records while declining the opportunity to re-record Pale, but negotiating to have Columbia Records reissue Bread & Circus. Featuring the singles "Jam" and the Modern Rock Chart hit "Come Back Down," the album was still not a success; but the singles received heavy airplay on college radio stations.

The band finally achieved fame with their third album, fear. The album was released in 1991, and saw the singles, "All I Want" and "Walk on the Ocean" reaching the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100. The album became the band's first RIAA-certified platinum album.
In 1993, the Mike Myers feature film So I Married an Axe Murderer included the song "Brother" on its soundtrack. "Brother" later appeared in the In Light Syrup compilation album, as well as on the 2004 release of the live album Welcome Home: Live at the Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara 1992.
In 1994, after years of heavy touring, the band released their follow-up to fear, Dulcinea. This album spawned the hit singles "Fall Down," which reached #1 on the US Modern Rock charts, as well as #5 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and "Something's Always Wrong," which also charted. Like fear, this album was certified platinum by the RIAA.
A compilation album of b-sides and rarities, In Light Syrup, was released in 1995; it included the singles "Good Intentions," which was featured on the soundtrack for the television show Friends, as well as the aforementioned "Brother." The compilation was certified as a gold album in 2001.
The release of Coil in 1997 acted as the proper follow up to 1994's Dulcinea. Featuring a more electric, rock sound, it featured the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock hit "Come Down," as well as the singles "Crazy Life" (previously featured on the soundtrack for the film 'Empire Records') and "Whatever I Fear."

Face to Face Performing at House of Blues
Las Vegas
November 15, 2008

Face to Face is a punk rock band from Victorville, California formed in 1991 by frontman Trever Keith.
Originally known as "Zero Tolerance", Keith had been the only constant member of the band during their years of touring and recording albums. The group was initially signed by Dr. Strange Records and were then signed to Fat Wreck Chords. Face to Face rose to fame with their 1995 second album Big Choice, featuring their radio hit "Disconnected", which was first played by KROQ and appeared in the movies Tank Girl and National Lampoon's Senior Trip. The band declined in popularity after the departure of founding drummer Rob Kurth, who left in 1998.

During their initial twelve year run, Face to Face became one of the seminal and influential punk rock bands to come out of California, along with Green Day, The Offspring (the latter of which current drummer Pete Parada would eventually join), Bad Religion, Social Distortion, Rancid, NOFX, Pennywise, No Use for a Name, Lagwagon, The Vandals, Guttermouth, and many others.
Face to Face split up in November 2003, because of musical differences. Since then, all the members of the band had played in a number of post-Face to Face projects, including Legion of Doom, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, The Offspring and Saves the Day. In April 2008, Face to Face performed together for the first time in five years at The Glasshouse in Pomona, California. The band has continued to perform numerous live venues since, but they have not expressed plans for a new album.

Rehab at House of Blues

Las Vegas

August 5, 2008

Rehab is an American rap/rock group formed during the late 1990s in Atlanta, Georgia. Rehab has released two major albums so far; four other discs are also in existence.

Rehab's music is a mixture of southern rock, dirty south rap, reggae, alternative and the popular 90s rap/rock style (made famous by bands such as Limp Bizkit). Three pressed albums have been released: "To Whom It May Consume" (1999), "Southern Discomfort" (2000) and "Graffiti the World" (2005). Previously obtainable only online, "Cuz We Can" (2002) became available on CD in the early months of 2007. Following the release, Rehab had this to say, "Although this may not have been officially what the label intended to put out, it’s the best work we could find and put together as a comprehensive volume to give to the fans."
Rehab was originally formed as a trio: Steaknife,Danny Alexander, and Brooks Buford. Early on, they released their first album "To Whom It May Consume" produced by Steaknife and Brooks Buford. Soon after, Epic/Sony offered a record deal.
Rehab's major label debut, Southern Discomfort, hit stores in October of 2000. With band members Danny Alexander and Brooks, hailing from the city of Warner Robins, south of Macon, Georgia (they dedicated a song to their hometown called "This Town"). Their debut album starts with a skit of them breaking out of a rehabilitation facility. The album went on to sell over 140,000 units, and produced such hits as "Sittin' At A Bar", "It Don't Matter" (Modern Rock Top 20), "Rattle My Cage", and featured such guests as Cee-Lo, Goodie Mob, Steaknife, and Cody Chestnutt.
After 2 years on the road supporting the Vans Warped Tour and playing with bands such as Linkin Park, Danny called it quits over a difference in creative view points.
Part of Danny Boone's appeal to his greatest fans is his love for his home town and regular reminders of it on both his apparel, fore arm tattoos and mentions during many different lyrics of the groups music.
"That's where I grew up and I've lived there most of my life," Boone says. "I always wanted to represent Warner Robins, but I didn't know how because nobody really cared."
When asked about how the group came up with the name "Rehab," Danny is quoted as saying, "You know, we all went through some really bad times in our lives as a group and individually. Some of us didn't make some really wise decisions and got into some pretty bad stuff. We had to go into rehab to get straightened back out. And I got to thinking, since I'm sure we're not the only ones in this situation, and just so people who have been through what we have can relate to it, that's the name we picked: Rehab. Not that we advocate or encourage anyone using anything, but for those who do, you know, maybe we can be a positive influence somehow. 'Cause we've been there."
