Reba McEntire Hits the Road in March

Reba McEntire

As the most successful female country music artist ever, it is easy to understand how Reba McEntire gained the nickname “Queen of Country.” Over her thirty-three year career, Reba has sold more than fifty million albums, had fifty-seven top ten singles, and received the “Top Female Vocalist” award from the Academy of Country Music seven times.

Reba has seen success as an actor, author, and singer, but asserts that fame hasn’t changed her. She still sees herself as the same country girl who grew up in a rodeo family, and remains true to her roots.

In an interview, Reba said. “It is real life with me. I am not the glamorous person people may think I am. People who know me know I’m not… One of the reasons my music has lasted as long as it has is because I am a person that they can relate to and my music is what they can relate to.” Read More

Martina McBride on Shine All Night Tour

Martina McBride

Country music diva, Martina McBride, got a modest start on her rise to stardom. Raised on a farm in Kansas, McBride grew up in a musical household. As soon as she could talk, she was singing along with classic country tunes. By the time she was eight, she was performing on stage with her father’s country band.

McBride moved to Nashville in 1989 with one goal in mind, to make a name in the traditional country music world she had grown to love.

Her first break came while working as a roadie for Garth Brooks. Brooks promised McBride a spot as his opening act as soon as she pulled off a record deal.

McBride did just that. Her debut album, The Time Has Come, was released in 1992. That same year, she opened for Garth Brooks and various other top country acts. Critics praised the album, but it did not receive much commercial success. Read More

U2 on 360 Degrees Tour

U2

The concept of U2 and the band itself was formed before the members of the group had much of a grasp on their instruments. In what has become a signature of the band, they realized early on that playing music is more of a platform to convey a message to an audience than it is a display of great talent.

Although they did become exceptional musically, they clung to the idea that they could use their music to spread a message. Over the years, they have donated heavily to an array of charitable groups through benefit concerts and campaigns, using their fame to highlight organizations that try to improve the world.

Tim McGraw

Country music megastar, Tim McGraw, is hitting the road this month in support of his newest effort, Southern Voice.

In what is being called one of McGraw’s best albums yet, Southern Voice, debuted at number two on the charts. Released in 2009, it is McGraw’s tenth original record in his seventeen year career.

McGraw moved onto the country music scene in 1993 with a self-titled debut album, but it was his second album, Not a Moment Too Soon that gained recognition from the music industry. He topped the charts with songs like “Down on the Farm” and “Don’t Take the Girl.” Read More

Lacy

Blues-rock guitar legend, Eric Clapton, will be launching an international tour beginning in February at the O2 Arena in London. He will be performing with Jeff Beck of the Yardbirds while touring in North America, and Roger Daltrey of The Who while in the U.K.

At an early age, Clapton became engrossed in Blues music. Inspired by musicians like Robert Johnson, he studied the history, learned the art, and became an expert. In an interview with BBC, he describes an emotional attachment he feels to the genre.

“The Blues are what I’ve turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.”

In his forty-plus year career, Clapton has become a multi-platinum artist with eighteen Grammys and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame status. He is considered one of the most influential guitarists of all time.
