I love new music Tuesday and today is a great one as O.A.R. release “Heaven,” the first single off their upcoming album King. Thrilled the fellas are back with not only a great new song but their seventh studio album which drops August 2. Check out THIS link for the making of King.
And if you find yourself in Vegas this weekend, check them out at Red Rock Casino, performing quasi-poolside.

Arguably one of the most talented musicians around, Warren Haynes is simply an ace in the hole; whether it be fronting Gov’t Mule, jamming with the Allman Brothers Band, pulling double duty with The Dead or riding solo (among too many more collaborations to list) you are in for a thrilling ride seeing him live. Relentless touring and righteous jamming has made Haynes not only a commodity in the music industry but a legend among fans. That sweet southern rock sound will be one of the Bonnaroo 10th Anniversary highlights.

In what has become a rarity so to speak in recent years, getting to see a String Cheese Incident show is something to savor. With each member having a side project, catching a show is no easy feat anymore and the fact that they are playing Bonnaroo next week is something very special that everyone attending should look forward to. One of the bands on the original billing for the inaugural Bonnaroo, this late night set will be one of the top five shows to catch. To this day, a three night run at the Backyard in Austin to see String Cheese Incident is one of the best and most memorable concert experiences I have had.

A five year hiatus didn’t do anything to diminish his reputation in the music game. If anything it only made Eminem come back stronger to claim his stake as one of the all time elite in hip-hop. Fast forward three years, two new albums albums and now a total of 13 Grammy Awards to date and Slim Shady has an arsenal of material to drop at Bonnaroo. As one of the headliners, expect the performance to be an intense 90 minutes. Perhaps a guest spot by Weezy while we’re at it?

Since winning a Grammy for Album of the Year with Suburbs, Arcade Fire has been spreading like a wildfire as headliners for just about every festival in 2011, an honor that is well deserved. The first time I ever heard Arcade Fire was at VEGOOSE in 2005 after they had release Funeral (which was nominated for a Grammy) and I remember being impressed but not knowing too much. This year at Bonnaroo I am well aware and can’t wait to see the performance which should be an epic one for sure.

Here we go, one week from today the 10th Anniversary of Bonnaroo commences. The best thing to come out of Akron isn’t Lebron James but The Black Keys. It took a while but Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney finally hit it big with last year’s Brothers and have been riding a high since. I’ve seen the duo twice already this year and the gritty rock riffs from Auerbach and Carney’s wailing on the drums left me craving more both times.

I don’t think I’d purchase a ticket to his concert but the simple fact that he’s performing at a festival, yeah I’ll check out Lil Wayne. I’m actually getting excited to see his late night set because I’m sure he’ll put on one heck of a performance, he has a grip of songs that I think everyone knows and more than anything, he’s part of the Cash Money family and was part of the Hot Boys. I also think since it’s the grand stage of Bonnaroo, Wayne has some surprises in store, maybe Drake? Wayne did show up at Drake’s gig in Vegas over MDW in Vegas…..

Last weekend I had the opportunity to check out San Diego based Little Hurricane at Chandelier Bar at Cosmopolitan. In the fairly short amount of time I had listened to their music prior I was impressed but after seeing CC and Tone live, I’m now a huge fan. Their sound of dirty blues/rock just works and I can’t picture the music with more than just the duo on stage. Between Tone’s raw voice and skills on the slide guitar and CC providing solid beats (and also easy on the eyes), Little Hurricane are a force to be reckoned with. Big things are in their future, get onboard now; pick up their album Homewrecker while you’re at it and see them live.

Oh what a day it is, we are single digit days away from Bonnaroo!
Robert Plant, the name says it all. As vocalist for one of the greatest rock outfits every formed, Plant is not only an icon in the world of music but still going strong and pumping out new tunes. Touring with his current Band of Joy consisting of Patti Griffin, Buddy Miller, Darrell Scott, Byron House and Marco Giovino, the festival stage should be rocking with this talented group of musicians. Also with Alison Krauss performing at Bonnaroo as well, I’d say chances are likely the duo who won Album of the Year at the 2009 Grammy Awards have a little something planned.
Now if you are around my age, you never had the chance to see Led Zeppelin live (one of those bands on a short list of if I could see any band/artist today) but the opportunity to see and hear the voice and lyricist who helped pave a soundtrack to my music influences, I’ll take that any day.

I have seen more concerts than I can remember and Mumford & Sons definitely put on one of the best live performances I’ve been witness to. The sheer excitement and energy the entire band projects when on stage is magical and they take folk music to a whole new level. They have risen to stardom in the US rapidly and well worth it as anyone who has seen a live performance can testify to. Mumford & Sons are one of those bands who play with so much passion each and every night that it’s virtually impossible not to be infatuated with them. Mixing in a few new songs into the set should be expected (“Lover Of The Light,” amazing) as they take Bonnaroo and play in front of their largest audience yet.
