Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: Girl Talk

13 Oct

He was our surprise guest performer at the Life is Beautiful 2014 Lineup Party we held in June at Brooklyn Bowl and rocked a packed house for nearly two hours. In less than two weeks the mash-up maestro will bring the party to Downtown Las Vegas and take the stage for what will surely be a memorable set filled with confetti, balloons, streamers and a whole lot of sweaty dancing fanatics! Girl Talk prior to The Weeknd and Kanye West, yes please!! To add a little bit more ammo to this celebration, Girl Talk will also be celebrating his birthday at the festival. P A R T Y ! ! !

Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: Las Vegas Philharmonic & The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil perform a Tribute to The Beatles

7 Oct

17 days until the second Life is Beautiful festival in Downtown Las Vegas, October 24-26! If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

If there is one performance you can’t miss, it’s this one. I’ m talking about legendary, one time only performance.  In honor of The Beatles’ 50th Anniversary of coming to Las Vegas, I’ve gotten the Las Vegas Philharmonic Orchestra and The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil to join forces for a 40 minute tribute to the Fab Four.  It’s going to break down like this, on Sunday afternoon you are going to want to make your way to the main stage where the Las Vegas Philharmonic Orchestra will perform a 20 minute solo set of Beatles songs before being joined on stage by the cast of LOVE for an incredible performance of acrobatics and dancers meets symphony. Yes you read that correct, this is all going to happen at once, Cirque du Soleil cast members will be flying, Beatles music will be playing and you as a spectators are going to witness an incredible never before seen show.

If I could begin to explain how excited all parties involved are, you wouldn’t believe me.  Everyone is pouring their blood, sweat and tears into this performance and I promise you this is going to be legendary.

Me personally, this performance is the coolest thing I’ve ever had the opportunity to work on. And yes, I realize I work for a festival so I’m not joking when I say how amazing this opportunity is.  Not only is LOVE my favorite show in Las Vegas, I clearly am a fan of The Beatles, Giles Martin working on the arrangement for this performance is just WOW and the opportunity to work with the Philharmonic is such an incredible one (these musicians are uber talented and hearing them in rehearsals gave me chills);  this  magical in so many ways.

Want to read a little more, check out this article from my buddy John Katsilometes who interviewed the great, Giles Martin about the upcoming performance and arranging the music specifically for this show.

Countown to Life is Beautiful 2014: The Preatures

6 Oct

“I’m eighteen and I like it, Yes I like it, Oh I like it love it like it love it, Eighteen eighteen eighteen eighteen and I like it!”  Only 18 days until the second Life is Beautiful festival in Downtown Las Vegas, October 24-26! In anticipation, at DoYouHearTheMusic.com I’ll be running down an artist or two on the lineup! If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

Seriously I can’t believe The Preatures are going to be performing at Life is Beautiful.  If you knew what was good for your music loving soul, you’ll make sure you get to check them out at the festival.  These rocking Aussie’s burst onto the scene in 2013 with their hit single “Is This How You Feel” and just last week released their debut album, Blue Planet Eyes.  Definitely make a point to get down with some 80s/90s pop-rock from today!

Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: Echosmith

5 Oct

We’re in the teens!  Only 19 days until the second Life is Beautiful festival in Downtown Las Vegas, October 24-26! In anticipation, at DoYouHearTheMusic.com I’ll be running down an artist or two on the lineup! If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

I’m not sure there are too many other acts who have been thrust into the spotlight in 2014 as much as Echosmith.  These “Cool Kids” are everywhere right now, are currently on tour with American Authors and are being tabbed my many publications and outlets as the artist to watch.  All of it well deserved and I couldn’t be more excited for this group of siblings.  These kids have such a positive outlook on life and totally embody Life is Beautiful. We’re pumped to have them on the lineup and can’t wait for their performance on Friday, October 24.

It’s exciting to know that a handful of artists are making their first play in Las Vegas at Life is Beautiful and here’s another one, Tycho.  I’ve spoken to several people who are all amped up about finally get a chance to see Tycho live let alone in their hometown.  Currently touring as a four-piece, the brainchild of Scott Hansen has never sounded so good!  I’ve had the lucky opportunity to see Tycho a couple times this year and cannot wait for them descend upon the neon desert for what is sure to be an amazing performance.  Get ready for an instrumental electronic experience and make sure you carve out time to see them perform on Saturday, October 25.

Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: St. Paul & The Broken Bones

27 Sep

The home stretch towards the second Life is Beautiful festival in Downtown Las Vegas, October 24-26. In anticipation, at DoYouHearTheMusic.com I’ll be running down an artist or two on the lineup! If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

Let me lay it down like this.  If you are coming to Life is Beautiful, this is one of your can’t miss performances of the festival, St. Paul & The Broken Bones.  These guys have absolutely blown up in less than two years and 2015 is primed to be massive for this Birmingham, Alabama outfit.  Not only is their album, Half The City, something you should have on repeat but St. Paul & The Broken Bones have delivered one of the best shows I’ve seen in 2014.   They ooze soul and when you hear Paul Janeway’s voice, you may just have a religious experience.
