"In YOUR Hands" Tour 2012 WITH STOP AT the GREEK THEATRE ON MAY 22

Reigning CMA and ACM Vocal Duo of the Year Sugarland will launch their sixth consecutive headlining tour entitled "In YOUR Hands" Tour 2012 with a stop at The Greek Theatre, LA on May 22 with special guests Lauren Alaina and Canaan Smith.  The tour will rely solely on fan interaction and requests to determine the set list played in each city.  Specific guidelines and instructions will be coming soon on www.sugarlandmusic.com.

"This year's tour is based around the concept of putting the show into the hands of the fans," said Nettles. "THEY will make the requests that will help form the set list and guide the show. Through texts, handwritten signs, the Internet (Twitter, Facebook, etc) phone calls made during the show and selections directly from the stage, the fans will become the conductors as well as the audience. If it's on one of our records or if we've played it on a stage it is fair game."

Sugarland has reached over 15 million in worldwide sales and achieved eight #1 singles since exploding onto the music scene in '04 with Twice The Speed Of Life. Enjoy the Ride quickly followed in '06 and Love On The Inside in '08, which skyrocketed them to superstardom. Sugarland has co-written all tracks from all three albums and co-produced the last two. Live On The Inside,a CD/DVD set, and Gold And Green, a holiday collection, both debuted in '09. In 2010 The Incredible Machine was released (also co-written and co-produced by the duo) at #1 on the US Billboard 200 chart and to date has sold over 1.2 million copies. hey've received trophies from the Grammys, AMA's, ACM, CMT and CMA awards. Nettles has performed at the Kennedy Center Honors with musical tributes to Bruce Springsteen and Neil Diamond and the duo has collaborated live with heavy-hitters like Adele, Rihanna and Lady Gaga among others.  They have been seen all over the media spectrum with appearances on Oprah, Good Morning America, Ellen, CNN Heroes, Chelsea Lately and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Sugarland has performed in numerous European countries and have headlined multiple U.S. tours that continue to sell out venues across the country.

Singer/songwriter Canaan Smith will release his debut album via Mercury Records in 2012. His touching debut single "We Got Us" is at radio now. Canaan was one of the cast members of the 15th season of the hit CBS series The Amazing Race and his elimination with then girlfriend, Mika, was one of the most dramatic moments in that show's history. Also, the colonial Williamsburg, Virginian wrote the top 10 single "Runaway," for the band Love and Theft as well as "Me Without You" on the band's debut album, World Wide Open. He also wrote the Billy Ray Cyrus/Amy Grant duet "Stripes and Stars." Craig Morgan recently recorded Canaan's song "Up All Night Down In the South." Furthermore, Canaan was recently named one of twelve artists to watch in 2012 by Country Weekly magazine.

Lauren Alaina, a Rossville, GA native, and the American Idol Season 10 runner up, released her debut album Wildflower in the fall of 2011 and it landed at No. 2 on the Billboard's Top Country Album chart and an impressive No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200. She became the youngest female artist to debut this high on the Billboard charts since LeAnn Rimes' debut 15 years ago and is the best-selling country female debut since 1996.  Lauren is currently on the road with two other Georgia native's Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan as part of the "My Kinda Party" tour.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2255.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2256 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2256 Sat, May 26 at The Greek Theatre WAR / Tower of Power plus special guest Average White Band Sat, May 26 6:30 PM Sat, Mar 31 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre , Hot 92.3 Hot Summer Nights Presents WAR co-headlining with Tower of Power plus special guest the Average White Band at The Greek Theatre on Saturday, May 26.

An American original; WAR was the first and most successful musical crossover phenomenon that forever fused rock, jazz, Latin, and RandB, while transcending racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic line-up; a musical melting pot and an enduring influence that has sold nearly 25 million records to date. WAR has been honored with 17 gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards which include the triple platinum The World Is A Ghetto, double platinum Why Can't We Be Friends? and Greatest Hits, just to name a few. Today, WAR is a permanent part of America's pop cultural landscape.

For over 40 years, Tower of Power has been creating their own kind of soul music. Since 1968, Tower of Power has delivered their unique brand of music to their fans, appearing before sold out crowds as they tour the world each year. Tower's sound can be hard to categorize, but the band's leader and founding member, Emilio Castillo, has labeled their sound as "Urban Soul Music." With hits such as "So Very Hard to Go," "What is Hip" and "You're Still a Young Man," Tower's rhythm section lays down a groove like no other band. The band's horn driven sound is unique, and the way they approach everything, from writing and arranging to mixing and performing, is totally their own.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2256.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2257 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2257 Sat, Jun 2 at The Greek Theatre Chris Botti Plus special guest Dave Landau Sat, Jun 2 7:30 PM Sat, Apr 21 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre Impressions onColumbia Records (in stores now), popular trumpeter Chris Botti will perform at The Greek Theatre, LA on Saturday, June 2nd.  Opening the show will be Dave Landau.

Impressions is a collection of songs and compositions expressing his love for rich, evocative melodies and showcases Botti among a high profile group of featured guests, including pianist/composer Herbie Hancock, tenor Andrea Bocelli, country star Vince Gill, rock star Mark Knopfler, composer/pianist David Foster and violinist Caroline Campbell.

Melody has always been at the heart of Botti's music.  Whether applying the lush sounds of his trumpet to the long, lyrical phrases of a familiar ballad or the arching, rhythmic lines of a jazz improvisation, his solos tell evocative stories, finding their way into the very heart of a song.

Impressions offers all that and more. Since the release of his 2004 critically acclaimed CD When I Fall In Love, Chris Botti (pronounced boat-tee) has become the largest selling American instrumental artist. His success has crossed over to audiences usually reserved for pop music and his ongoing association with PBS has led to four #1 Jazz Albums, as well as multiple Gold, Platinum and Grammy Awards.  Over the past three decades, he has recorded and performed with the best in music; including Frank Sinatra, Sting, Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, John Mayer, Andrea Bocelli, Joshua Bell and Aerosmith's own Steven Tyler.  Hitting the road for 250 plus days per year, Chris and his incredible band have performed with many of the finest symphonies, at some of the world's most prestigious venues, including performances at the World Series and Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony. ]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2257.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2258 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2258 Wed, Jun 6 at The Greek Theatre The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Wed, Jun 6 8:00 PM Fri, Apr 6 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre A DREAM COME TRUE EXPERIENCE FOR VIDEO GAME FANS and MUSIC LOVERS: NINTENDO'S "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: SYMPHONY OF THE GODDESSES" TOUR PLAYS THE GREEK THEATRE, LA

The unprecedented concert tour will perform at The Greek Theatre, LA on June 6th.

The name "Symphony of the Goddesses" refers not only to the concert program but also to the new four-movement symphony recounting the classic storylines from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time™, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker™, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess™, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past™. The concert also will highlight orchestral renditions of music from other series games, including The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening™ and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask™.

The band will play The Greek Theatre, LA on Friday, June 8 with hometown favorites, Fishbone..

In conjunction with the tour, ATO Records will release a limited edition 10" single, with live versions of "Jilly's On Smack" and "Eyes of the Squirrel." The vinyl, which will be wrapped in a green naugahyde sleeve, will be available at independent record stores in late April. More details on this release will be available at ATORecords.com.

Green Naugahyde was produced and engineered by Les Claypool in his personal studio, Rancho Relaxo, in Northern California, and features Claypool, long-time guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Jay Lane. Lane was in an early lineup of the band, and was also in Sausage, a 1994 reunion of the 1988 Primus lineup. Green Naugahyde expands on Primus' incomparable sound and also sees them bringing it into the next millennium. It is a cerebral and complex album that, like all of the band's output, is teeming with the band's signature blend of whimsy and underlying darkness.

For the past 27 years, Primus have followed in the footsteps of boundary-pushing artists like Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd to create some of the most original and inventive music in existence. Green Naugahyde is a Primus record with all of the magic and mystery that phrase entails-and while no one can say for sure what the future will hold in store for the band, the most important thing is that the album exists and will inevitably hold its own in the band's impressive cannon of music.

Celebrating 25 groundbreaking years Fishbone has been trailblazing their way through the history of American Ska, Funk, Punk, Rock Fusion and (so-called) Black Rock since starting their professional career in Los Angeles' burgeoning, Alternative Rock music scene of the mid-1980s. Their sound has often been imitated, but never duplicated. They have toured worldwide with such bands as the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Roots, Les Claypool/Primus, Fela Kuti, George Clinton, The Dead Kennedys and many more. Angelo Moore's ability to combine thought-provoking, humorous social commentary with FISHBONE's frenzied, up-tempo music and frantic, euphorically entertaining stage show has cultivated their undisputed reputation as one of the best live acts in music history.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2259.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2260 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2260 Sat, Jun 9 at The Greek Theatre The Summer Soul Jam featuring The Stylistics, Brenton Wood, Chi Lites, Emotions, Manhattans, Barbara Mason and Friends of Distinction Sat, Jun 9 6:30 PM Sat, Apr 14 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre THE SUMMER SOUL JAM

For nearly 15, The String Cheese Incident (SCI) have been building a massive, devoted fan base eager to follow the band throughout an entire tour and collect recordings of each of the band's concerts, or "Incidents," as they've called them. Breaking away from the path taken by the vast majority of artists, SCI drew upon their pioneering spirit to construct their own business model, effectively rethinking the manner in which artists interact with their fans and redefining the live music experience by absorbing multiple artistic concepts into their total presentation.

Today's SCI  - Bill Nershi, guitars and vocals; Michael Kang, mandolin, violin, guitar and vocals; Keith Moseley, bass; Michael Travis, drums and percussion; Kyle Hollingsworth, keyboards and accordion; and Jason Hann, percussion - fuses together the most durable and inviting aspects of the jam band world with cutting-edge electronics and the multisourced Americana on which they were founded.   "Keeping the circular energy going" is how co-founder Nershi puts it, and as it turns out, that circle is not yet complete.

Don't miss the Barefoot Boys when they perform live on Friday, July 13th under the stars!

Meanwhile, her new single "Give Your Heart a Break" has been downloaded over 200,000 times and is cruising up the Top 40 radio charts while the music video has reached over 10 million YouTube views.

The Reverend Al Green's extraordinary voice became known to the world through a string of legendary hits in the early 1970s, classics including "Tired of Being Alone," "Let's Stay Together," "I Can't Get Next to You," "I'm Still in Love With You," "Call Me" and "Love and Happiness." Green bridged the gap between smooth Philadelphia soul and gospel.  In the mid-'70s, he joined the ministry and by the '80s, was solely a gospel performer.  Green returned to soul in the early '90s and has since joined Blue Note Records.  His latest album, Lay It Down, garnered two Grammy awards and had Green collaborating with younger stars including the Roots' ?uestlove, who co-produced the album.  Spin said of the release, Lay It Down (with tasty guest spots from John Legend, Anthony Hamilton, and Corinne Bailey Rae) makes it clear that Green's devotion to the primacy of his music's groove has only deepened with age."

Allen Stone has shot up the RandB / Soul charts on iTunes, peaking at the number 2 spot, and hit #29 and #62 on the Billboard Heatseekers and RandB / Hip Hop Album charts, respectively.  He has garnered national praise and USA Today called him a "pitch-perfect powerhouse," all without any support of a label, publisher or publicist.  Stone's self-titled sophomore album has pushed his sound and lyricism to a greater level of noted individually. His music is notable for his finely crafted evocative songs and fresh, smooth, soul-filled voice-one that certainly belies his age.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2264.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2265 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2265 Fri, Jul 20 at The Greek Theatre Alan Jackson plus special guest Ashley Monroe Fri, Jul 20 7:30 PM Sat, May 5 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre Alan Jackson takes his tour to The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Friday, July 20.

A world-wide sensation since the 1970s, the Jacksons unveiled their line-up of U.S. tour dates, which includes a stop at the iconic Greek Theatre, LA on Sunday, July 22nd.  The extraordinary reunion tour marks the first time siblings Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito Jackson have toured together since their groundbreaking Victory Tour in 1984.

Beloved by millions of fans across the globe for their soulful, sunny sound, contagious stage presence, and unforgettable roster of hits, the Jacksons first achieved international superstardom with their late brother Michael-- becoming the first group ever to have their first four singles hit #1 on the Billboard Charts. Throughout their four-decade long career, the group revolutionized music and pop culture, getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. The Unity Tour 2012 will be yet another milestone for the Jacksons, bringing the most famous family in music back together for a historic series of shows.

"This is a dream coming true," said Jackie Jackson of the tour. "I can't believe this is finally happening. There's nothing like having all the brothers on stage at the same time. This will be exciting for our fans around the world-- and I know at each concert, MJ's spirit will be in the house with us."

Honoring Michael's memory and bringing the fans all the timeless hits they know and love is also paramount for Jermaine Jackson. "I am so happy and excited to perform again onstage with my brothers," he said. "I can't wait to sing all the songs that were so much a part of all of our lives. We are ready and committed to keep the family's legacy alive and perform once again with the highest level of excellence, creativity, and most of all, integrity.

A dynasty unlike any other, the Jackson family's impossibly catchy brand of pop-funk changed music forever. With their record-shattering catalogue of hits, they remain the biggest-selling family in music of all time. Don't miss your chance to witness music history firsthand this summer when the world-renown Jacksons reunite for the Unity Tour 2012.  ]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2317.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2335 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2335 Sat, Jul 28 at The Greek Theatre Gladys Knight and Natalie Cole Sat, Jul 28 7:30 PM Sat, May 5 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre GLADYS KNIGHT
The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last fifty years have matched her unassailable artistry. This eight-time Grammy winner has enjoyed #1 hits in pop, Randamp;B and Adult Contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television and live performance. She will bring her live show to The Greek Theatre on July 28th with co-headliner Natalie Cole.

andldquo;Natalie is from Royalty, not only has she grown up and embraced her fatherandrsquo;s music, so have I. Her fatherandrsquo;s andldquo;Too Youngandrdquo; won me the Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour when I was 7. She is a consummate professional and she is my sister. Iandrsquo;m excited about us sharing a stage,andrdquo; said Gladys Knight.

Knight, known as the andldquo;Empress of Soul,andrdquo; a longtime Las Vegas resident, returned to the Strip this past year to the famed Tropicana Hotel for a special engagement that ran in the newly named Gladys Knight Theater, making her the first African-American performer to have a venue named after her in Las Vegas.  Last fall she was honored with the andldquo;Legend Awardandrdquo; at the 2011 Soul Train Awards and most recently she competed on ABCandrsquo;s hit show andldquo;Dancing with the Stars.andrdquo;  This spring Knight will release her newest album featuring the hit andldquo;I Who Have Nothing.andrdquo;

A women of many talents, Knight has recorded more than 38 albums over the years, including four solo albums during the past decade:  andldquo;Good Womanandrdquo; (1991); andldquo;Just for Youandrdquo; (1994); the inspirational andldquo;Many Different Roadsandrdquo; (1999); and andldquo;At Lastandrdquo; (2001).  andldquo;At Lastandrdquo; showed the world that she still has what it takes to record a hit album, employing the talents of contemporary producers like Randy Jackson, Gary Brown and James D.C. Williams III, Jon John, Jamey Jaz, Keith Thomas, Tom Dowd.


NATALIE COLE
Nine-time GRAMMY award winning singer, songwriter and performer Natalie Cole has proven to be one of the most beloved performers of all time. On July 28th, she will co-headline with Gladys Knight at The Greek Theatre.

andquot;I'm so happy to be working with my Big Sister, the Legendary Gladys Knight...this is going to be fun,andquot; said Natalie Cole.

Natalie Cole rocketed to stardom in 1975 with her debut album, Inseparable, earning her a #1 single, andldquo;This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)andrdquo; and two Grammy® awards for Best New Artist, as well as Best Female Randamp;B Vocal Performance. More hit singles followed, including 1976andrsquo;s andldquo;Sophisticated Lady (Sheandrsquo;s A Different Lady),andrdquo; 1977andrsquo;s andldquo;Iandrsquo;ve Got Love on My Mind,andrdquo; 1978andrsquo;s andldquo;Our Loveandrdquo; and 1980andrsquo;s andldquo;Someone That I Used to Love.andrdquo; In 1987, she released Dangerous, which sold over two million copies in the U.S. and garnered her three hit singles: andldquo;Jump Start,andrdquo; andldquo;I Live For Your Loveandrdquo; and a remake of Bruce Springsteenandrsquo;s andldquo;Pink Cadillac.andrdquo;

In 1991 Natalie Cole took a bold leap that would change her life and career forever. Already a highly successful Randamp;B artist, she amazed everyone when she recorded Unforgettable...With Love, an album of standards from the American Songbook that included a duet with her late father-Nat King Cole-on the title track. The album spent five weeks at #1 on the pop charts, earned six Grammy® awards (including Song, Record and Album of the Year) and sold more than 14 million copies worldwide.

Cole released her second book andldquo;Love Brought Me Backandrdquo; in November 2010 chronicling her path to a kidney transplant in 2009.  She currently tours the world and hoping to release a Latin flavored record later this year. ]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2335.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2267 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2267 Tue, Aug 7 at The Greek Theatre Buddy Guy /Jonny Lang Plus special guest Quinn Sullivan as a special guest to Buddy Guy Tue, Aug 7 7:30 PM Sat, Apr 28 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang will perform together live at The Greek Theatre on August 7. 

Any discussion of Buddy Guy invariably involves a recitation of his colossal musical resume and hard-earned accolades. He's a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a chief guitar influence to rock titans like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, and Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago's fabled West Side sound, and a living link to that city's halcyon days of electric blues. If that wasn't enough, he has received 6 Grammy Awards, 23 W.C. Handy Blues Awards (the most any artist has received), the Billboard magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone has even ranked Guy in the top 30 of its "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."

Every major guitar player without exception gives a nod to Buddy Guy.  With a career spanning over 50 years, he has blazed his trail of energetic blues and blues rock, releasing over 60 albums,' mingling the most deepest of blues with a creative, unpredictable and radical gumbo of the blues, rock, soul and free jazz that morph's at every performance. And there have been many performances.

Grammy winning Jonny Lang is a former prodigy instrumentalist, who topped the Billboard New Artist chart with his first album at age 15.  Today he stands as a mature creative force, made more sensitive yet also toughened by life's adventures. Lang has learned what it means to rise above hard times and to find meaning where chaos seemed to rule.

His latest release Turn Around is considered the pivotal album of Jonny Lang's career to date a passage that links the triumphs of his past to the promise of his future. The guitar is still there, whispering sometimes, occasionally even screaming. Now, though, it's just one voice in a chorus of sounds the tight band, the passionate singing, and lyrics that conjure beauty as well as pain and speak the truth, all at the same time.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2267.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2268 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2268 Sat, Aug 11 at The Greek Theatre Neil Diamond Hot August Night 40th Anniversary Sat, Aug 11 8:00 PM Mon, Mar 5 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre THE WAIT IS OVER!

A Grammy Award-winning artist, Neil Diamond has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriter's Hall of Fame, is a recipient of the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award and was a 2011 Kennedy Center Honoree.

Produced by Bird, Break It Yourself was recorded at his barn in Western Illinois near the banks of the Mississippi River. Paired with the album's deluxe CD package is the DVD Here's What Happened. The thirty-minute performance film was shot at Bird's barn during the recording of the album and captures the energy of the room in which the new release was conceived. Footage from Here's What Happened of Bird performing the track "Eyeoneye" can be viewed at http://bit.ly/GNr9gi.

Chicago-based film score composer, multi-instrumentalist and lyricist Andrew Bird picked up his first violin at the age of four and spent his formative years soaking up classical repertoire completely by ear. As a teen Bird became interested in a variety of styles including early jazz, country blues and gypsy music, synthesizing them into his unique brand of pop. Since beginning his recording career in 1997 he has released 11 albums, his first solo record Weather Systems coming in 2003. Bird has gone on to record with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and perform at New York's Carnegie Hall. Most recently Bird composed his first ever film score for the movie Norman (hailed as "a probing, thoughtful score" by The New York Times; available now on Mom + Pop), contributed to the soundtrack of The Muppets and collaborated with inventor Ian Schneller on Sonic Arboretum, an installation at New York's Guggenheim Museum and Chicago's

Museum of Contemporary Art.

Over the course of releasing three full-length albums celebrated by fans and critics, alike  Because I Was In Love (Language of Stone; 2009), epic (Ba Da Bing; 2010), and now Tramp (Jagjaguwar, Feb. 2011), the Jersey-bred/Brooklyn-based Sharon Van Etten has affected a multitude of hearts and minds over the past couple of years. Tramp, a stunning album nuanced in a language of striking rock, minimal beauty, and pious strength, showcases an artist in full control of her powers. Over the last several years, Van Etten has opened the Pitchfork Music Festival, played Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, The Hollywood Bowl, Radio City Music Hall, sung on new albums by Beirut and Ed Askew, collaborated with Justin Vernon and Megafaun. ]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2328.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2270 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2270 Tue, Aug 14 at The Greek Theatre Regina Spektor Plus special guest Only Son Tue, Aug 14 8:00 PM Sat, Apr 28 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre What we Saw From The Cheap Seats, on Sire/Warner Bros. Records (in stores on May 29), Regina Spektor will perform at The Greek Theatre, LA on August 14 with special guest Only Son.

The much-anticipated new studio album reunites Spektor with production partner Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Fiona Apple, Dr. Dre) and is her first album of new material since 2009's far. What we Saw From The Cheap Seats was launched with the first listen track "All The Rowboats" and followed with the single "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)". The album digital deluxe pre-order and the videofor "All The Rowboats" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CZ8ossU4pc) are available now. Spektor also just released an exclusive 7" of two Russian cover songs, "The Prayer Of François Villon (Molitva)" and "Old Jacket (Stariy Pidjak)," for Record Store Dayon April 21.

Of working with Spektor, Elizondo says "Regina Spektor is that rare artist that continues to surprise. Just when you think you have her figured out, she knocks you out with something completely different. It's that spirit that drives this record. Each song takes you on a journey that only Regina is capable of providing. She has truly outdone herself."

Spektor studied classical piano and garnered a loyal live following in New York before self- releasing two albums. Her breakthrough album Soviet Kitsch was released by Sire Records in 2004 followed by Begin to Hope in 2006. The album included worldwide fan favorites "Fidelity," "Samson," "On The Radio" and "Better" and is certified gold in the U.S. Spektor followed up with far (2009) and Live from London (2010), which was recorded at the Hammersmith Apollo Theater during the far tour.

Only Son is the music of NYC-based songwriter Jack Dishel (former lead guitarist for The Moldy Peaches.) Only Son's sophomore record, Searchlight, is an expansive, diverse collection of songs; much like a late Beatles album, each song fleshes out a different side of his musical sensibilities.  Searchlight features standout tracks like "Magic" and "It's a Boy" as well as guest appearances by Regina Spektor and members of The Strokes and Of Montreal.  It was co-produced with Dishel's lifelong friend Eddie "Pull" Frente of the band kHz.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2270.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2280 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2280 Wed, Aug 15 at The Greek Theatre Joe Cocker / Huey Lewis and the News Wed, Aug 15 7:30 PM Sat, Apr 21 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre Joe Cocker and Huey Lewis and The News will co-headline at The Greek Theatre on August 15th.  These hit-making artists will perform fan favorites and signature classics for one night only, under the stars in the heart of Los Angeles.

After more than 40 years in the music business, Joe Cocker is still one of the most successful and popular artists worldwide. Many of his 21 studio albums and 4 live albums have achieved multiplatinum status around the world. His releases have received Grammy Awards, Golden Globes, and Academy Awards. In 2007 he was handed the "Order of the British Empire (OBE)." In short: he's a legend.

The British soul singer parlayed Ray Charles-type vocals and an eccentric stage presence into a string of late-'60s hits, suffered in the mid-'70s, and went from tragic figure to well-respected interpreter in the '80s and '90s. With hits such as "Come Together," "With A Little Help From My Friends," and "Up Where We Belong," among others, his gritty, powerful voice remains one of the most distinctive in rock and roll today. 

"Heart and Soul", the title of one of their hit songs, also explains the enduring appeal of Huey Lewis and The News. For over thirty years they have been making and performing music that resonates with people at their core. Whether it is their singing about the daily grind in "Workin' For A Livin'" or lamenting a troubled relationship in "If This Is It", this is a band that connects with people on a gut level.

In addition to commiserating over life's rough spots, they have also given their millions of worldwide fans a soundtrack for the celebration of life's great moments. The driving rhythm of "Heart of Rock and Roll" sings the praises of the great music being made across the US, while "Stuck With You" offers a love song with a tongue-in-cheek turn of phrase and amazing harmonies. Meanwhile "The Power of Love", which the band wrote for the hit film "Back To The Future", not only went to #1 on the Billboard singles chart, but also was nominated for an Academy Award.  

As great as their recordings are, there is something extra special about the Huey Lewis and The News live shows.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2280.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2269 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2269 Thu, Aug 16 at The Greek Theatre Neil Diamond Hot August Night 40th Anniversary Thu, Aug 16 8:00 PM Mon, Mar 5 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre THE WAIT IS OVER!

Since 1994, Pink Martini has been drawing inspiration from music from all over the world crossing genres of classical, jazz and old- fashioned pop.  Featuring 12 regular musicians, the "little orchestra," Pink Martini has performed with more than 50 orchestras around the world.

Pink Martini's debut album Sympathique was released independently in 1997 on the band's own label Heinz Records (named after Lauderdale's dog), and quickly became an international phenomenon, garnering the group nominations for "Song of the Year" and "Best New Artist" in France's Victoires de la Musique Awards in 2000. Pink Martini released Hang On Little Tomato in 2004, Hey Eugene! in 2007 and Splendor In The Grass in 2009. In November 2010 the band released Joy To The World-a festive, multi-denominational holiday album featuring songs from around the globe. Joy To The World received rave reviews and was carried in Starbucks stores during the 2010 holiday season. All five albums have gone gold in France, Canada, Greece and Turkey, and have sold well over 2.5 million copies worldwide.

In Fall 2011 the band released two albums A Retrospective, a collection of the band's most beloved songs spanning their 17-year career, which includes eight previously unreleased tracks, and 1969, an album of collaborations with legendary Japanese singer Saori Yuki. 1969 has been certified platinum in Japan, reaching #2 on the Japanese charts with the Japan Times raving "the love and respect Saori Yuki and Pink Martini have for the pop tradition shines through on every track."]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2329.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2273 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2273 Sat, Sep 22 at The Greek Theatre Bonnie Raitt plus special guest Mavis Staples Sat, Sep 22 7:30 PM Sat, May 12 10:00 AM The Greek Theatre Bonnie Raitt will perform at The Greek Theatre on Saturday, September 22nd, with special guest Mavis Staples.

2012 is shaping up to be the year of Bonnie Raitt with her latest release 'Slipstream' (Redwing Records) which debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200, marking the nine time GRAMMY-winner's highest charting album and best sales week in nearly two decades. The album came in at #1 on the Billboard Independent Album Chart, #1 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart, and #1 on the Billboard Internet Album Chart. The album's title is very significant for Bonnie -Slipstream isn't just a beautiful sounding word, but an indication of her place in the music community. "I'm in the slipstream of all these styles of music," she says. "I'm so inspired and so proud to continue these traditions, whether it's reggae or soul or blues. I'm in the slipstream of those who came before me, and I'm leaving one for those behind me. I'm holding up the traditions of the music that I love."

NPR praised 'Slipstream' as "vital and fresh... beautiful," a sentiment echoed by Rolling Stone, who in a 4-star review called the album "mood music with a razor edge." Entertainment Weekly raves, "Superb... she slips her purring voice into every song like a letter going into an envelope addressed just to you." Raitt's reinvented version of Gerry Rafferty's hit "Right Down The Line," is the first single from 'Slipstream' and has "just the right note of rueful worldly wisdom - and on her guitar solo, she shreds" (Rolling Stone). Raitt will be accompanied by her longtime touring band of James "Hutch" Hutchinson (bass), Ricky Fataar (drums), and George Marinelli (guitar), with the new addition of Mike Finnigan (Joe Cocker, CSN, Etta James, Jimi Hendrix) on keyboards.

A lifelong activist, Raitt also provides benefit tickets for charity at every concert, and as well invites local non-profit organizations to share information about their work with concertgoers. For more information on Special Benefit Seating, go to www.guacfund.org.

For the first time in Amon Tobin's career, he is now capable of delivering a truly groundbreaking visual experience that matches the scale of his renowned musical explorations. The avant-garde producer has officially stepped away from previous DJ-centric performances, and developed an entirely unique large-scale live show that expands on the concepts behind his most recent body of work: his seventh full-length studio album, 'ISAM'. Re-drawing and blurring the lines between psychedelia and sci-fi, between art and entertainment, between sound design and melody, with 'ISAM' Tobin created his finest, most intense work yet, a crowning achievement in the process that he describes as "re-ordering the things around me."

An all-encompassing visual onslaught - abstract narrative, subtle and bombastic - ISAM Live uses projection mapping, generative/audio reactive real time and pre-rendered elements combined with custom software to control the show. The visual elements have been synched to the 'ISAM' album to create an interactive, next level HD experience.

The show features a stunning 25' x 14' x 8' multi-dimensional/ shape shifting 3-D art installation that surrounds Tobin, enveloping both him and the audience in a beyond 3-D experience. Amon conceptualized the show as a projection mapped "visual score" to the music from 'ISAM.' Situated within the installation, Tobin performs the music as a navigator of a large craft through a surreal visual epic.

ISAM Live, the spectacular audio-visual experience that stunned the world in 2011 will return in 2012 with an even more ambitious and stimulating global tour, starting with Coachella (April 20, 2012) and a prestigious run throughout North America this Autumn. In-between, ISAM Live will make its way back to London at the Brixton Academy in May. Additionally, ISAM Live shows have been announced at the world famous Sydney Opera Houseand#8203;- with two performances on June 2nd. This marks Tobin's first appearance in Australia since 2006.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2277.jpg http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2278 yourcontact@greektheatrela.com http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2278 Sun, Oct 28 at The Greek Theatre EEK!
