Famed for her mystical chanteuse image, singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks enjoyed phenomenal success not only as a solo artist but also as a key member of Fleetwood Mac. Stephanie began performing at the age of four, and occasionally sang at the tavern owned by her parents. Nicks started writing songs in her mid-teens, and joined her first group, the Changing Times, while attending high school in California. She is best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and an extensive solo career, which collectively have produced over forty Top 50 hits and has sold nearly 120 million albums.
Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 along with her then boyfriend, Lindsey Buckingham. Fleetwood Mac’s second album after the incorporation of Nicks and Buckingham, 1977’s Rumours, produced four U.S. Top 10 singles (including Nicks’ song “Dreams,” which was the band’s first and only U.S. number one) and remained at #1 on the American albums chart for over 30 weeks, as well as reaching the top spot in various countries around the world. To date the album has sold over 33 million copies worldwide.
Nicks began her solo career in 1981 with the album Bella Donna, and she has produced five more solo studio albums to date. After the release of her first solo album, Rolling Stone deemed her “The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll.” She has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards and, with Fleetwood Mac, won the 1977/1978 Grammy for Album of the Year for Rumours. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Some of her solo hits include: “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” (a duet with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), “Leather and Lace” (a duet with Don Henley), “Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove),” “Gypsy,” and “Stand Back.”

Atlantic City, NJ – May 27, 2010; Santana with special guest Steve Winwood will be in the Mark G. Etess Arena at Trump Taj Mahal on Saturday, July 24, 2010. Show time is 8:00 pm, doors open one hour prior. The Carlos Santana Universal Tone Tour 2010 gets underway on June 30 with an initial North American leg running through early August. Carlos and the Santana Band will be joined on the road by special guest Steve Winwood, who will open the dates.
The Universal Tone Tour 2010 will feature hits from Santana’s four-decade-long career, as well as songs from a brand new studio album that Carlos Santana is currently putting finishing touches on. Santana’s most recent release was the 2010 reissue of “Supernatural ” as a 2-CD Legacy Edition — featuring 11 previously un-issued bonus tracks — in celebration of the classic nine-time GRAMMY-winning album’s tenth anniversary.
Carlos Santana became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana , which pioneered rock, salsa and jazz fusion. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. Rolling Stone named Santana number 15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and 3 Latin Grammy Awards. For more information, visit; http://www.santana.com
Steve Winwood will release a multi-disc career retrospective on June 7 entitled “Revolutions – The Very Best Of Steve Winwood.” It is a portrait of one of the most influential British musicians in rock history; a singer-songwriter, peerless vocalist, guitarist and keyboard player.
With track listings personally selected by Steve Winwood from his five decade career, “Revolutions: The Very Best Of Steve Winwood” will be available in two high quality formats: a single CD for the casual fan and a four CD deluxe box set including 60 page book for the connoisseur, with sleeve notes by writer Dylan Jones.
Steve Winwood has written and performed rock, blues-rock and jazz music since his teens. He is a multi-instrumentalist who plays Hammond organ, guitar, bass, and other string instruments. In addition to his solo career, he was a member of the bands the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith. He has won multiple Grammy Awards. In 2008, Rolling Stone ranked Winwood #33 in its 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.
For more on Steve Winwood at http://www.stevewinwood.com
Ticket prices are $121, $86 & $66. Tickets will go on sale Fri., May 28th at noon. Tickets can be purchased by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-736-1420, on line at www.ticketmaster.com or in person at the Taj Box Office. For box office hours and more information call (609) 449-5150.

By Mike Vagnoni
Had the chance to meet up with Jimmie Lee the Bad Boy of Country Rock. We had a luncheon and meeting him was kind of cool, He’s one heck of a talent and gifted music writer. His been writing songs all of his life. He has the passion to be doing what he’s doing – and you will be finding out more and about this new country artist as he is set to be going on Tour sometime at the end of the summer.
OOT – How long have you been writing songs?
Jimmie Lee – “Been writing since 1991 and have about 150 plus songs to date. I have been blessed with this gift. I can write the music first and lay in some lyrics or I can come up with the lyrics and then marry the music to the words. It’s just a process that happens. You might work on something for days and days…and then there are times where the song and melody just pop right out of you . You know in the lyrics Dept. I have a co -writer by the name of Chirs Baile who also helps inspire me with some great lyrics. He is a very gifted person also and I am so glad that we work together he also serves as head of security on all of our shows.”
OOT – Your new CD is very Impressive and your song LET’s GO is the title track -where did you cut this project at?
Jimmie Lee – “It was a Labor Day weekend a couple of years ago, and I happen to meet up with David Ivory who is one of the top record producers on the east coast. I told him how I was a music writer and performer and that I wanted him to hear my music and see what could be done. He says to me, look I don’t take on new artists but let me hear some of your stuff and take it from there. So I made sure he did get my package and did keep on calling him and then he gets back to me and says” Your so into this, I’m going to take you on. Well he did and the rest is history now and we have a very impressive CD – The CD was mastered by Peter Humphreys.” I have to say shouts out to my music director Joe Lam he does a super job with the band and our live arrangements”
OOT - You did hit the road and where are some of the places you took your tour to?
Jimmie Lee-” We toured in Las Vegas and played to a sold our concert in front of 17,000 people also have played the House of Blues and the Hard Rock Cafes. We even did a show over at Prospectors. Right now we are working on a big tour at the end of the summer and there are talks going on that we might be opening up for ZZ TOP at the HOUSE OF BLUES in AC. We should know more about this very soon.”
OOT- You just completed a video shoot over at Whiskey Tango – how did this go over?
Jimmie Lee - “We contacted George Manney and did a video shoot of Let’s Go last week. This went over real well and we can’t wait to get this out and up on TV and up online for all to see…George is an award winning music video producer and we are so glad to see him work on our project. This is going to be a real good presentation of our song Let’s Go.”
OOT - What makes your live shows so unique?
Jimmie Lee – “:We are so powerful up on stage we can ignite any audience – we are the new breed of Country rock and this is such an exciting time to be in the music business. When you come to one of our concerts – you’ll be standing and dancing all thru the show. I am telling you right from the beginning of the show to the end…you will love what we do since it is all about the music and the songs, we also have the lights and the sirens going off..it’s just so electrifying and exciting.”
OOT - Thanks for taking the time to chat with me Jimmie, and we wish nothing but the best for you – the new bad boy of county rock.
Jimmie Lee – ” Thank You Mike”
So that ended our talk and I just highlighted some of the points that I feel would get you interested into
finding out more about this soon to be country star. He is the bad boy of Country rock and the is the new breed of country music. Jimmie Lee is a must see – check him out online and be sure to get out and see him in concert when you can. To find out more go to:

LOS ANGELES – March 15, 2010 – Lady Gaga, one of the most exciting and innovative new artists in recent history, has announced her highly anticipated return to North America on the heels of her sold-out European tour. The 2010 North American leg of The Monster Ball Tour, presented by Virgin Mobile, will begin on June 28 at Montreal’s Bell Centre, taking her spectacular show to 31 top arenas and a host of new cities in the U.S. and Canada throughout the summer and fall.
In keeping with Lady Gaga’s flair for the theatrical, as well as her innovative and creative spirit, the second leg of the tour promises to push the limits of the live concert experience, bringing fans a spectacle even more eye-popping than what they experienced during the thrilling first leg of The Monster Ball.
“It’s still called Monster Ball, but it’s more of a musical and less of a concert,” Lady Gaga said in a February interview with KIIS-FM’s Ryan Seacrest. “It has a New York theme, it’s a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we’re going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost.”
Critics around the world raved about the first leg of The Monster Ball Tour, which Gaga described as “the first-ever pop-electro opera.” The Sun called it “breathtaking stuff” and “the best live show you will see this year,” while London’s Independent wrote: “Gaga’s got it, which is why, right now, the whole pop world wants to take a ride on her disco stick.” Writing about her show at Radio City Music Hall, the New York Times noted that “her Monster Ball tour always provided something worth a snapshot: a sci-fi tableau, perhaps, or a skimpy, glittery costume. The more her image gets around, the better Lady Gaga does.”
Live Nation Global Touring is the International tour promoter and producer for The Monster Ball under the direction of Arthur Fogel, CEO Global Touring and Chairman – Global Music Live Nation who said: “Lady Gaga has set out to revolutionize pop music and with her new production she continues to do exactly that. We’re thrilled to take The Monster Ball to fans around the world.”
Lady Gaga is touring in support of The Fame Monster, which was released on November 18, 2009, by Streamline/Konlive/Cherrytree/Interscope. The album is the follow-up to 2008’s Grammy Award-winning album The Fame, which spawned the No. 1 singles “Just Dance” and “Poker Face.” Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 10 million albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga’s five singles, “Just Dance,” “Poker Face,” “Lovegame,” “Paparazzi,” and “Bad Romance,” have sold in excess of 30 million copies total. The video for “Bad Romance” has racked up more than 125 million online views. Lady Gaga recently premiered the video for her new single “Telephone,” featuring Beyoncé, on the E! television network and entertainment website VEVO.
Tickets (general admission floors and reserved seating in the stands) for The Monster Ball go on sale in select markets including New York, Vancouver, Toronto, San Jose, Los Angeles, and Boston beginning March 19th at LiveNation.com.
Virgin Mobile customers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, March 16 at 10am local time. “We are excited to take our partnership with Lady Gaga and The Monster Ball Tour to another level,” said Bob Stohrer, VP of Marketing for Virgin Mobile USA. “We’ll also build on our partnership around combating youth homelessness and continue to enhance the tour experience for fans and our customers.” For details visit www.virginmobileusa.com.

Dates announced today include: June 9 at Red Rocks in Denver; June 15 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles; July 17 and 18 at Chicago’s renowned Ravinia Festival. Sting will also perform in New York, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Portland, Seattle and Washington and return to Canada, with stops in Toronto and Montreal. Additional North American cities, venues and on-sale dates will be announced in the next few weeks, with other territories throughout the UK and Europe to follow soon.
Never afraid to blaze the path of new musical territory, Sting’s foray into the classical realm began with the crossover success of his No. 1 album Songs from the Labyrinth, a lute-based interpretation of the music of 16th century composer John Dowland, released in 2006 on Deutsche Grammophon. After completing the enormously successful Police reunion world tour, Sting returned to pursue his passion for uniting musical genres with his most recent release If On A Winter’s Night… which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s classical chart and remains there.
Sting’s interest in collaborating with an orchestra began in 2008 following an invitation to perform with the legendary Chicago Symphony Orchestra. After reworking selections from his expansive catalog, he and several members of his longtime band joined the orchestra in a performance that left an indelible mark on Sting. Eager to explore the possibilities of further symphonic collaboration, Sting was excited when the Philadelphia Orchestra asked him to join them in commemoration of the 153rd anniversary of the Academy of Music.
“Performing with both the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Philadelphia Orchestra was truly a highlight of my career. I’m delighted by this new opportunity to tour with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and reinterpret the songs I’ve been playing for many years.” commented Sting.
The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra has previously performed with internationally-renowned artists ranging from opera luminaries Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Renée Fleming, Kiri Te Kanawa and the late Luciano Pavarotti to popular cultural icons including Burt Bacharach, George Benson, Michel Legrand, Diana Krall, Tina Turner and Randy Newman. The 45-piece orchestra will be featured on all North American concert dates of the tour.
Sting will also be joined by a quartet comprised of Dominic Miller (Sting’s longtime guitarist), David Cossin (a multi-percussion specialist in new and experimental music and featured member of the Bang on a Can All-Stars), Jo Lawry (vocalist) and Ira Coleman (bassist).
The tour is promoted by Live Nation and produced by RZO Entertainment, Inc. in association with Universal Music Classical Management & Productions.

LAS VEGAS, NV — Jimmie Lee, The Jersey Outlaw recently ignited Las Vegas on fire with his huge sold out show which punched his career into the “Stratosphere”. This Live Show will be made into a live CD that will hit stores early spring 2010. This is one Jimmie Lee CD that you don’t want to miss!!
The Jersey Outlaw delivers powerful shows, and performs live as though his life depends on it. No entertainer on earth has ever been more powerful in front of the crowd, and Jimmie Lee needs nothing more than his music! Every new concert for Jimmie is a new test, a new challenge and the stage becomes his proving ground. Jimmies trademark country horse powered sound is still intact in each song , and our boy delivers.
The bad boy of country rock opened the show with “LETS GO”, a killer ‘in your face’ country rock extravaganza that’s an audience favorite!!
Jimmies concert included favorites as Kickin Ass, Crazy Bitch, Forever 29, and he reached into the attic for some songs from his early albums. Our boy kicked it like nobody’s business with an encore of his best, Gimme A Holler, Cross Country 4 Wheel Drive, and closed the show with his theme song, Country Rocker. A meaningful set ending piece with the jive band groove and evangelical exhortations. The Jersey Outlaw rides again, with an uplifting, exhilarating phenomenal show!! 5 Stars, Baby!!!
Jimmie has played last year to sold out crowds at the House Of Blues, Atlantic City; Hard Rock Cafe, Philadelphia; Prospectors Saloon and many more!!
Most recently, The Jersey Outlaw has teamed up with HighRollerClothing to create the Jimmie Lee Special Collector T-shirts. They are available at www.highrollerclothing.com and at all Jimmie Lee shows.
Expect big venues this year as The Jersey Outlaw Road Tour hits the ground running. Our boys on fire and better than ever. It’s a show you must see!
