Kid Rock has a unique ability to genre-hop, marking his territory everywhere.  He hosted last years CMT Awards and performed at events ranging from the Grammy's to the VMA's, EMA's and CMA's to the Hip Hop Honors.  He has performed for and visited troops overseas numerous times, and remains one of entertainments most vocal supporters of our soldiers abroad.  His philanthropic efforts through his own Kid Rock Foundation, have expanded greatly over the last year as well.  

His latest release, "Born Free," is in many ways a transformational album for Kid Rock.  While there is still the edge, wit and swagger of previous albums, he doesn't rap, there's no metal - there isn't even a parental warning sticker.  Says Kid Rock, "The catalyst for this record was Detroit, and my thoughts on the world through the lens of Detroit.  Watching everything go downhill over the past few years, the economy, the loss of jobs everywhere, I wanted to make a record that reflected the times but that still had soul." 

Despite winning multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM awards - and selling more than 8 million records - the country music duo of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush is embracing a creative rebirth, a musical awakening that permeates their adventurous fourth album, "The Incredible Machine."

What they have created is a dynamic masterwork.  Co-written and co-produced in full by Jennifer and Kristian, The Incredible Machine is a soaring album elevated by ski-high choruses, ringing guitars, and pulsing drums that recall the beating of the album's titular engine, the human heart.  A country record, a pop record, an anthem record, a ballad record, but above all, an authentic record. 

The Steve Miller Band has become one of the centerpiece attractions of the summer rock concert season, playing sixty or more shows every year.  He is the Gangster of Love.  Some people call him Maurice, the Midnight Toker or the Space Cowboy.  And with his latest release, "Let Your Hair Down," a masterpiece album by one of the greats, Steve Miller shows he still speaks of the pompitus of love.

"Let Your Hair Down," includes some of the finest guitar playing Miller has ever recorded, alongside the last recordings by harmonica virtuosa Norton Buffalo, Miller's "partner in harmony" for thirty-three years.  

One of rock music's all-time greats, the Steve Miller Band has sold more than 30 million records in a career spanning more than 40 years.  His trademark blues-rock sound made him one of the key artists in class rock radio.  The Steve Miller Band is a brand name rock that millions have come to trust. 

Since the release of their Grammy-nominated 2010 debut album, "Backatown," Trombone Shorty and Orleans Ave. have grown creatively while winning hordes of new fans performing nonstop on five continents.  Their new album, "For True," offers substantive proof of their explosive growth, further refining the signature sound Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews has dubbed "Supafunkrock."

The band - Mike Ballard on bass, Pete Murano on guitar, Joey Peebles on drums, Dwayne Williams on percussion, Dan Oestreicher on baritone sax and Tim McFatter on tenor sax - stirs together old-school New Orleans jazz, funk and soul, laced with hard-rock power chords and hip-hop beats, and they've added some tangy new ingredients on "For True" as they keep pushing the envelope, exploring new musical territory.
