Steve Miller Band Tours for Bingo!
Steve Miller Band Tours for Bingo!
The Steve Miller Band is currently touring in support of a new record, Bingo!, due out June 15th. The band will tour through the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Six Canadian stops are scheduled along the tour, as well as two dates in the U.K.
In a video released on the band’s website, Steve Miller talks about the making of Bingo!. He reminisces about experiences on stage with established musicians like Otis Redding during his early days in the Chicago music scene. The Chicago blues scene had a major impact on Miller as a musician, and in Bingo!, he has recreated his own versions of his favorite blues classics.
Bingo! is the first release from the group since Wide River in 1993. In Miller’s own words, “It’s a record to get out and dance and have a good time.”
Sonny Charles of the Checkmates has joined the group amid the untimely death of thirty-three year vocalist and harmonica player for the band, Buffalo Norton, who died late last year.
The Steve Miller Band is known best for songs like “The Joker,” “Rock n’ Me,” and “Take the Money and Run.” They had a number one hit in 1982 with “Abracadabra.”

Navy Pier
Navy Pier
Built in 1916 as part of the city development plan, the Navy Pier is a mixed-purpose public infrastructure. Primarily used for cargo facilities, the pier also provided docking space for steamers used for passenger excursions. The outermost tip of the pier was used as a cool spot for public gatherings and entertainment in the pre-air conditioning days. Sometime ago, the Navy Pier even had a streetcar and was known to be a little lovers’ getaway in the city. The Navy Pier is 3300 feet in length and spreads alongside the Chicago shoreline of Lake Michigan.

Cinco De Mayo – Tequila, Mariachis, Chiles, Oh My!
Cinco De Mayo – Tequila, Mariachis, Chiles, Oh My!
It is party time in the United States with the Cinco de Mayo fiestas around the corner. So raise your tequila glass and rock out Mexican style to celebrate the holiday that commemorates Mexicoâ??s victory over the French.
Cinco de Mayo is one of the most celebrated Mexican national holidays in the United States, where many U.S. businesses and restaurants are decorated in green, white and red, the colors of Mexicoâ??s flag, to observe this important day in traditional Mexican fanfare. Although Cinco de Mayo celebrates the determination of Mexicans to remain free from foreign control, it is not Mexicoâ??s Independence Day.
HISTORY
Following the devastating loss of the Mexican-American War in 1848, Mexico was both financially and morally defeated. In 1861, president Benito Juarez issued a moratorium in which all foreign-debt payments would be suspended for a period of two years. Furious and eager to collect payment, England, France, and Spain invaded Mexico.

General Motors Place Event Tickets – Music Galore Hits Vancouver This Spring
General Motors Place Event Tickets – Music Galore Hits Vancouver This Spring
Winter snows will soon melt into blossoming springs, and so it is in Vancouver, where the Canadian city is still reeling off the grandeur of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The calm of the winter will soon pause for the first signs of springtime, and the city of Vancouver offers plenty of events for residents and visitors to partake in while waiting for the summer months to make a cameo in Canada.
Venues such as General Motors Place, home of the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks, as well as the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts are top places to be in Vancouver this spring, and as hockey season comes to a close there will be plenty of excitement in the city to fill the lull – namely, live music tours. Several top performers will be infiltrating the Vancouver music scene this April and May to play a slew of concerts, and two of the top outfits soaring into Canada are Buddy Guy and the Eagles, both longtime heroes on the music scene.
Buddy Guy, a world-renowned blues singer and guitarist, will bring his famed act to the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts this April for a live performance in the city, and music fans are jumping on the chance to get tickets from <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://www.stubhub.com/”>StubHub</a> to the upcoming gig. Guy is an iconic jazz and blues musician recognized in the same vein of heavyweights like Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix, and on April 18 he will jam in Vancouver, drawing all kinds of music fans to the Centre for an epic performance.
Guy first rose to fame as a Chicago blues musician in the late ’60s, debuting on the music scene in 1967 with the MCA Records-released album I Left My Blues in San Francisco. The Louisiana native successfully conquered the Chicago blues circuit before blowing up on the mainstream scene, and songs like “Let Me Love You Baby,” “No Lie” and “Stone Crazy” became initial fan favorites at concerts. Guy has gone on to win four Grammy Awards (and counting), and the acclaimed musician is touring this year in support of his upcoming album Broken Hearted Blues, which will drop later this spring.
