Jason Mraz Tickets on sale tomorrow July 23

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Everyone’s favorite I’m Yours! singer just announced his fall North American Tour. Jason Mraz tickets go on sale beginning Friday, July 23.

His tour is sure to be a nice mix of your favorites and even some new tunes. Just this week on Twitter, Mraz said: Working on the new album: Uptempo trax sound like a mix between Wham and Prince. Perchance I’ll dub the new genre “Wince!”

Mraz will hit 20 different cities with performances at multiple festivals. The tour kicks off September 11 in Bangor, ME and wraps up October 8 in Santa Barbara.

In addition to his headlining spots, Mraz will also open for Dave Matthews Band’s Chicago shows. Dave Matthews tickets with Jason Mraz went on sale earlier this month.

Jason Mraz’s first album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, was released in 2002. While it was considered a success, it was nothing like what was ahead for the singer. In 2008 he released his 3rd album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., featuring the hit “I’m Yours.” The song reached #6 in the Billboard Hot 100 and drove strong sales for the album. It was also nominated for Song of the Year at the Grammys.

Dave Matthews Band Summer Concert Tour 2010- Thoughts From a Longtime Fan, and Where To Score the Best Tickets

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Music, for me, starts and ends with Dave Matthews Band. My parents gave me “Crash” for my ninth birthday, and although I probably didn’t understand it at the time, this was the first album that I ever truly appreciated. It was also the album that sparked my love and passion for music. However obscure my musical tastes have been over the past twelve years, DMB continues to be the number one band I listen to.

I remember playing the drums as a kid, trying (but always failing) to match Carter Beauford’s sound. I was intrigued by the fact that this guy (as well as the rest of the band) almost NEVER plays the same thing twice. The first time I saw DMB live in 2004, Tim Reynolds jumped on stage and played a guitar solo with his teeth at the Journal Pavilion in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At another concert, after the release of “Stand Up” in 2005, the Dave faithful and I stuck it out through 50 mile an hour winds in the dusty New Mexican desert. I saw the band play again at the Pavilion in 2009, the spring after original band member Leroi Moore tragically died in an ATV accident and just before the release of “Big Whiskey and the Groo Grux King.” And although these shows and albums were all different in their own way, one common factor has stayed with the band throughout their history: they play great music, simply for the sake of playing great music.

To me, there is nothing better than a Dave Matthews Band concert. I have seen him a handful of times, and plan to see him again this summer when their summer concert tour hits Dave’s current home state of Washington (at the Gorge Amphitheater). So whether or not you are a long time fan like me, or just a music fan in general, be absolutely sure to check out Dave Matthews Band this summer.

Coachella vs Sasquatch vs Lollapalooza vs Bonnaroo Tickets

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Some of the bigger festivals are coming up and wanted to get a feel for which weekend shidig fans would be most excited for.

L.A. Times Releases Decade’s Ultimate Top 10 Recording Artists

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

The L.A. Times released the top artists of 2000-2009. The numbers were calculated based on album sales and concert tickets. Celine Dion’s stint in Las Vegas was huge for her ticket sales and propelled her to the top of the list. If that trend holds, look for Garth Brooks to top this list in 2020.

The Ultimate Top 10 of the Decade:

1. Celine Dion (tickets), $747.9 million. Dion pulled in $522.2 million in concert-ticket sales for the decade. Adding $225.7 million worth of album sales during those same 10 years.

2. Kenny Chesney (tickets), $742 million. His total includes $455.6 million in concert ticket sales and $286.4 million in album revenue.

3. Dave Matthews Band (tickets), $737.4 million. Matthews’ decade concert total of $529.1 million put him first on the list of top North American live music attractions of the decade, as calculated by the concert-tracking publication Pollstar. The band posted $208.3 million in album sales.

4. The Beatles, $627.3 million. Although the quartet disbanded 30 years before the decade began, the Beatles still managed to generate $392.3 million from sales of 30.2 million albums (using an average of $13 per album). The $627.3 million includes ex-Beatle Paul McCartney ($221.4 million) and Ringo Starr ($13.6 million), given that their concert audiences consist in large part of Beatles fans. The Fab Four also logged the single bestselling album of the decade, the “1″ hits collection, with 11.5 million copies.

5. U2 (tickets), $609.7 million. The Irish rock quartet brought in $391 million at the box office and $218.7 million in album sales.

6. Toby Keith (tickets), $591.9 million. The second of three country acts in the Top 10, the Oklahoma singer and songwriter logged $273.8 million on the concert trail, $318.1 million from album sales.

7. Bruce Springsteen, $588.3 million. On the road, both with the E Street Band and his various non-E Street tours, the Boss brought in $444.3 million. His album take: $144 million.

8. The Rolling Stones, $569.6 million. The Stones also benefited heavily from touring, earning $426.9 million at the box office in addition to $142.7 million in album sales. Rolling Stones tickets

9. Tim McGraw (tickets), $550.7 million. Strictly as a solo act, the country singer-songwriter ranks No. 14 on the list. But he toured several times with his wife, Faith Hill, during the decade. California being a community property state, we are awarding him half the revenue those outings generated. So his total includes $322 million in album sales, $133.7 million from his own tours and $95 million for his half of the McGraw-Hill shows.

10. Britney Spears, $494.3 million. Despite a rocky decade personally and professionally, Spears pulled in $195.7 million at the box office and sold $298.6 million worth of albums for the 10-year period.

The L.A. Times created the same list for artists in 2009. Here is the list. Check the L.A. Times for the details.

  1. U2 — $137.3 million ($123 million box office, $14.3 million albums). U2 tickets
  2. Springsteen — $102 million ($94.5 million box office, $7.5 million in albums)
  3. Michael Jackson — $100 million in album revenue
  4. Brittney Spears — $89.5 million ($82.5 million in concert ticket sales and $7 million in album revenue)
  5. Elton John/Billy Joel — $88 million at the box office Elton John/Billy Joel tickets
  6. AC/DC — $83.8 million ($77.9 million in concert tickets, $5.9 million in album sales). AC/DC tickets
  7. Taylor Swift — $83.2 million ($25.5 million at the box office, $57.7 million in album sales). Taylor Swift tickets
  8. Kenny Chesney — $81 million ($71.1 million in concert, $9.9 million in album sales). Kenny Chesney tickets
  9. Jonas Brothers — $77.9 million ($69.8 million in concert revenue, $8.1 million in album sales) Jonas Brothers tickets
  10. Dave Matthews Band — $69.8 million ($56.9 million in concert tickets, $12.9 million in album sales). Dave Matthews Band tickets
