Since their worldwide breakout three years ago, Texican trio Los Lonely Boys - brothers Henry, JoJo and Ringo Garza - have achieved multi-platinum album sales, a Grammy Award (their monster hit "Heaven" won Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group in 2005), and widespread acclaim from critics, fans and other musicians. All those experiences and led them to their commanding, propulsive 2nd album, Sacred, which has garnered rave reviews. In 2007, Los Lonely Boys participated in Amnesty International's "Make Some Noise" project. Their cover of John Lennon's "Whatever Gets You thru the Night" is the second single from the charity album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. The Boys just finished recording their third album, Forgiven in February 2008, which is slated for a July 1st release.

Since they began as Los Lobos Del Este Los Angeles in 1973, Los Lobos has evolved into a respected artistic entity using eclectic musical molds built on the blues, rockabilly, jazz, Latin and their own Mexican-American heritage. The critically acclaimed Los Lobos has thrived for more than three decades. They've released over 15 albums, won the Best American/Mexican Grammy for Anselma in 1984 and, in 1987, their cover of "La Bamba" shot straight to #1 on the Billboard Singles chart where it remained for three weeks. In September 2006, Los Lobos released The Town and the City to much critical acclaim. The album's lyrics deal with vocalist/guitarist/drummer Louis Perez's childhood in East Los Angeles, while the music portrays complex and original soundscapes.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/1268.jpg http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1364 yourcontact@nederlanderconcerts.com http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1364 Fri, Jul 25 at Dreamcatcher at Viejas Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:57:10 PST Chris Botti Chris Botti Fri, Jul 25 8:00 pm Fri, Apr 11 10:00 AM Dreamcatcher at Viejas http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/1364.jpg http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1359 yourcontact@nederlanderconcerts.com http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1359 Fri, Jul 25 at Santa Barbara Bowl Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:57:10 PST MercyMe MercyMe Fri, Jul 25 6:30 pm Fri, Apr 4 12:00 PM Santa Barbara Bowl
With a string of crossover hits on the Christian charts as well as the mainstream AC and CHR charts, MercyMe defines categorization. Since the Texas sextets' 2001 debut, Almost There was certified double platinum, the band has released an additional five studio albums, most recently 2007's All That Is Within Me.

All That Is Within Me has been heralded as the strongest and most deliberately worshipful release in the rock act's career. The album bursts open with the revved-up punch of "Goodbye Ordinary" and "Time Has Come." Blended together into one continuous track, these introductory songs reflect a broad range of musical influences from The Beatles and Tom Petty to U2 and The Killers. The fact that MercyMe can make such a spectrum of styles work together effectively is a testament to the band's sheer musical talent-a sparkling interplay of tasteful abilities that has been singularly hailed by critics.

Multi Dove award-winning David Crowder Band comes from a humble beginning; forming out of necessity to bring together students for worship at the University Baptist Church that Crowder formed in 1996. Since their inception the band has released seven albums, most recently 2007's Remedy which reached #4 on iTunes only one day after its release, and has toured the US extensively, bringing their eclectic mix of musical genres to fans coast-to-coast.

The two-time Grammy winner has garnered 21 nominations in the course of his career, while selling more than 23 million albums worldwide and earning praise from the likes of Time magazine, hailing him as "A Renaissance Man," Rolling Stone (noting "he has no contemporary peer"), and Vanity Fair (claiming "Yoakam strides the divide between rock's lust and country's lament").

Chris Cagle's first two albums (both certified gold) have produced seven hits, four of which were Top 10's. Chris' eleventh single to date, a song entitled "What Kinda Gone", was released to country radio in late 2007. Currently a Top 10 hit on the country music charts, "What Kinda Gone" is the lead-off single to his fourth studio album My Life's Been a Country Song, which was released on February 19, 2008.

George Thorogood and The Destroyers fought their way to the top. They came out of Delaware in the '70s as a jarringly high-energy bunch whose raucous, slide guitar-stoked, blues-rock takes on tunes by Chuck Berry, Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and others helped land them a contract with Cambridge's Rounder Records.  Spanning over 30 years, George Thorogood and the Destroyers have put out a string of hits including the Hank Williams cover "Move it on Over," and the bad-boy staple "Bad to the Bone." Other classic favorites include their cover of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?"

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.  His style has influenced some of rock n roll's greatest artists such as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn and The Rolling Stones.  Clapton once stated, "Buddy Guy is by far and without a doubt the best guitar player alive.  If you see him in person, the way he plays is beyond anyone. Total freedom of spirit, I guess.  He really changed the course of rock and roll blues" and Hendrix exclaimed, "Heaven is lying at Buddy Guy's feet while listening to him play guitar."]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/1269.jpg http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1317 yourcontact@nederlanderconcerts.com http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1317 Fri, Aug 1 at Santa Barbara Bowl Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:57:10 PST James Taylor James Taylor Fri, Aug 1 7:00 pm Sat, Mar 15 12:00pm Santa Barbara Bowl James Taylor returns to the Santa Barbara Bowl on Friday, August 1 in support of the fall release of his upcoming covers album.

After breaking the Billboard Top 40 with no support from radio or MTV with the release of their latest album Koast To Koast, California hip-hop hybrid, Kottonmouth Kings quickly embarked on sold out tours through the US and Japan. As a result, they landed on the cover of High Times Magazine, and scheduled a headlining performance at this year's Cannabis Cup.

Ignored at large by mainstream media outlets, the Kings' popularity continues to thrive and defy odds, making them a massive independent success story. In a time where the music industry is desperately flailing in a downward spiral, the Kings continue to rack up impressive ticket and record sales and cultivate one of today's most dedicated grass roots following.

For their pro-cannabis efforts, the Kottonmouth Kings were recently awarded "The Golden Lung Freedom Fighter" Award by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws in March 2006. To add icing to the cake, High Times Magazine named the Kottonmouth Kings their 2006 "Band of The Year" and put the group on the cover of their November 2006 issue.

In its 10th incarnation, the All Starrs will continue to inspire audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

As Ringo said in a recent interview, "My live shows are a peace-and-love fest. That's my main promotion, really." Since 1989, Ringo and His All Starr Tours have rocked sold out venues with great musicians who love to play.

"We can't wait to hit the road for our 'Backwoods Barbie' tour. We're anxious for you to see our new show and play you some of the new songs. Look forward to seeing you soon," said Dolly.

An internationally renowned superstar, the iconic and irrepressible Parton has contributed countless treasures to the world of music entertainment, penning classic songs such as "Jolene," "Coat of Many Colors," and her mega-hit "I Will Always Love You." With 1977's crossover hit "Here You Come Again," she successfully erased the line between country and pop music without noticeably altering either her music or her image. "I'm not leaving country," she said at the time, "I'm just taking it with me."

Dolly Parton is the most honored female country performer of all time. Achieving 25 RIAA certified gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, she has had 25 songs reach number 1 on the Billboard Country charts, a record for a female artist. She has 41 career top 10 country albums, a record for any artist, and she has 110 career charted singles over the past 40 years. All-inclusive sales of singles, albums, hits collections, paid digital downloads and compilation usage during her Hall of Fame career have reportedly topped a staggering 100 million records world-wide.

George Thorogood (born December 31, 1951) is a blues-rock and rock performer from Wilmington, Delaware. Thorogood cut his debut album entitled Better Than the Rest in 1974, and released it that same year. In the autumn of 1976 he recorded his second album, the eponymous George Thorogood with his band, The Destroyers (sometimes also known as The Delaware Destroyers) and issued the album in 1977.

Belinda Carlisle (born on August 17, 1958 in Hollywood, California) is the lead vocalist and a founding member of the all-female New Wave band Go-Go's as well as a successful solo artist.

THE HUMAN LEAGUE
The Human League are an English synthpop band formed in 1977. Originally a minimal post-punk synthesiser-based group from Sheffield, UK, they became one of the most successful new wave acts of the 80s. The only consistent band member is vocalist and songwriter Phil Oakey.

The Human League are still touring as of 2007, most recently with a UK live tour of their Dare! album combined with other hit singles from throughout the band's history.

ABC
ABC is the present vehicle for Martin Fry, originally formed as a four-piece, and were one of the major players in the New Wave movement of the early 1980s. They could perhaps also be credited with creating the short-lived pigeonhole of 'Sophisti-Pop' - smart suits, clever lyrics and elaborate synth-based melodies.

DEAD OR ALIVE
Dead or Alive is an influential New Wave band from Liverpool that rose to popularity during the 1980s. They are best known for the hit singles You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) and Turn Around and Count 2 Ten.

Naked Eyes
Naked Eyes was an Eighties synthpop duo, best known for their first single, a cover of the Burt Bacharach / Hal David standard "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" (Bacharach himself has cited the cover as a personal favourite). The song reached number one in the UK in 1964 for Sandie Shaw. Their second and third singles, "Promises, Promises" and "When the Lights Go Out", were also hit singles. ]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/1338.jpg http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1357 yourcontact@nederlanderconcerts.com http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1357 Thu, Aug 7 at Grove of Anaheim Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:57:10 PST Boz Scaggs Boz Scaggs Thu, Aug 7 8:00 pm Sat, Apr 5 12:00 PM Grove of Anaheim Boz Scaggs' return to its stage on Thursday, August 7th. Scaggs grew up in Texas immersed in rhythm and blues, soul music, early rock 'n' roll and raw Delta and Chicago blues. In high school, he played in a band with classmate Steve Miller, before striking out on his own. After a few years of traveling around Europe in the "dharma bum" tradition, in 1967 Scaggs headed to San Francisco, where he joined the Steve Miller Blues Band and took part in the Bay Area scene that was helping to revolutionize American rock 'n' roll. After two albums with Miller, he made his U.S. solo debut for Atlantic Records. The album, Boz Scaggs, was cut with the famed Mussel Shoals rhythm section, and featured the young guitarist Duane Allman on the blazing thirteen-minute blues workout "Loan Me a Dime."

Scaggs moved to Columbia records on 1971 releasing records such as, Moments, Boz Scaggs and Band, My Time that increasingly explored his love for rhythm and blues music. In the early 1990s, he signed with Virgin and made the Grammy-nominated blues collection Come On Home and the critically acclaimed 2001 release Dig. On his own Gray Cat label, Scaggs has released Greatest Hits Live, a two-disc live collection that spans his entire career. He also made But Beautiful, in which he tackled the Great American Songbook accompanied by a jazz quartet. Rolling Stone commented, "Boz Scaggs is hardly the first rock star to turn toward the classic American songbook, but few have ever done it with the soulful ease he does on But Beautiful."]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/1357.jpg http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1383 yourcontact@nederlanderconcerts.com http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1383 Thu, Aug 7 at Santa Barbara Bowl Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:57:10 PST Steve Miller Band With Special guest Joe Cocker Steve Miller Band With Special guest Joe Cocker Thu, Aug 7 6:30 pm Sat, Apr 26 11:00am Santa Barbara Bowl Steve Miller Band with special guest Joe Cocker will play the Santa Barbara Bowl on Thursday, August 7.

Steve Miller Band is one of the seminal rock bands of the 1970's and the group and its songs have continued to resonate with fans new and old. The group's first record, The Joker, released in 1973 went Platinum and resulted in a #1 single. However, it was Fly Like an Eagle, released three years later that confirmed the band's position at the top of the rock charts. Originally released in May 1976 against the backdrop of America's bicentennial celebration, Fly Like an Eagle proved to be a career-defining album for Steve Miller Band. With over four million albums sold to date, Fly Like an Eagle is the band's biggest selling studio album. It spent nearly two years on the Billboard 200, peaking at #3 and yielding the Top 40 singles "Rock 'N Me," "Fly Like an Eagle" and "Take the Money and Run." Joe Cocker found breakout success in the US with the groundbreaking rearrangement of "With a Little Help from My Friends" and with his performance at the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival. Since then he has had many hits including "Up Where We Belong," "Unchain My Heart" and "Have a Little Faith In Me."]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/1383.jpg http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1361 yourcontact@nederlanderconcerts.com http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/events/event_info.asp?ID=1361 Fri, Aug 8 at Broomfield Event Center Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:57:10 PST Professional Bull Riders Professional Bull Riders Fri, Aug 8 7:30 pm Tue, Apr 1 10:00 AM Broomfield Event Center Broomfield Event Center with a two-day bull riding event on Friday and Saturday, August 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. MT.andnbsp; The Broomfield PBR Enterprise Tour Open presented by Enterprise Rent-A-Car features 80 of the best up-and-coming PBR riders battling some of the rankest bucking bulls in the industry. andnbsp;The Enterprise Tour offers young bull riders the opportunity to compete in PBR sanctioned events while earning money to qualify for the PBR's elite Built Ford Tough Series Tour.
