Following the fervent reception of their previous tour in summer/fall of 2010, Grammy award-winning singer-songwriters Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs are hitting the road again this summer as "The Dukes of September Rhythm Revue."  To the delight of fans, the three hit-making artists will appear on-stage together as one band, to perform a show consisting of their signature mix of blue-eyed soul, rock, jazz and R&B.

After more than 40 years in the music business, British soul singer Joe Cocker is still one of teh msot 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."  In short, he's a legend.  Most recently Cocker released his first album for Columbia Records, "Hard Knocks."  Joe lives on teh Mad Dog Ranch in Crawford, Colorado.  

k.d. lang, who has won four Grammy awards, celebrated the 25th anniversary of her recording debut last year and found herself being pulled back to square zero, yearning to hear country music at sound checks, and longing for the richly collaborative experience that comes from being part of a band.  "I love going where I"m not supposed to go.  I love being the underdog, I've always loved being the underdog.  I love feeling like I'm starting at square zero again.  I thrive on it," says k.d. lang.  She's talking about touring with her new band, the Siss Boom Bang Band, and the prospect of playing in some fresh settings.  But the sentiment could just as well describe teh making of "Sing It Loud," her first record made entirely with a band of her own since the pair of albums with the Reclines that launched her career.

Since the release of his 2004 critically acclaimed CD When I Fall In Love, Chris botti has become the largest selling American jazz instrumental artist.  His success has crossed over to audiences usually reserved for pop music and his ongoing assocaition with PBS has led to four #1 Jazz Albums, as well as multiple Gold, Platinum and Grammy Awards.
