Multi-platinum singer/songwriter Jason Mraz has announced plans for a very special North American tour, set to kick off this fall. The multiple Grammy award-winner will be joined by longtime collaborators Raining Jane for the run, dubbed “Ladies & Gentleman, An Evening with Jason Mraz & Raining Jane.” Set to kick off on October 23rd in Modesto, CA, the tour finds Mraz bringing his exuberant live show to theaters and performing arts centers, wrapping with a two night stand at the Chicago Theatre on November 23rd + 24th.

Mraz recently wrapped his global “GOOD VIBES” tour, with stops at arenas and outdoor pavilions throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. “I am thrilled to be returning to intimate venues with Raining Jane,” Mraz explained. “I love the sounds and stories we make as a 5 piece.” Raining Jane echoed these sentiments: “YES! You KNOW we are fired up to play some intimate shows around the US. Excited to share some new tunes we’ve been working on together, and our interpretations of Mraz classics!”

In addition to familiar favorites, “Ladies & Gentleman” will feature new material, including songs from Know. – Mraz’s sixth studio album, released in August 2018. The album became his fifth consecutive studio album to debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and has gone on to amass hundreds of millions of streams, led by the inspiring single “Have It All.”

This past weekend, Mraz hosted the annual LIVE ART event in Richmond, Virginia. Presented by the School of the Performing Arts in the Richmond Community (of which Mraz is an alum), the evening features performances from local youth and benefits SPARC’s mission as an inclusive arts education organization.

Next weekend, Mraz will team up with Cleveland’s Contemporary Youth Orchestra for a sold-out two-night stand at Severance Hall (June 8th + 9th). With a second night added by popular demand, the shows will feature hits and fan favorites backed by the 115-piece Contemporary Youth Orchestra, led by Music Director Liza Grossman, and will mark Mraz’s very first full-length performance with a live orchestra.

Steve Hackett To Play Classic Genesis Album SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND For First Time On Tour

Acclaimed by many to be GENESIS’s finest album, SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND will be performed by Hackett and company in its entirety. Supported by some of the best musicians on the planet, Steve’s unique guitar work remains the fulcrum on which this challenging and exhilarating show is balanced.

STEVE HACKETT is renowned as an immensely talented and innovative rock musician. He was lead guitarist with GENESIS as part of their classic line up with Gabriel, Collins, Banks and Rutherford, that produced acclaimed albums such as SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND (a favorite of John Lennon). With Steve’s extraordinary versatility in both his electric guitar playing and his composing, he involves influences from many genres, including Jazz, World Music and Blues. He is equally adept in his classical albums.

With GENESIS, Steve’s guitar playing produced some of the most memorable moments, from the sensitivity of his acoustic sound on Horizons and Blood on the Rooftops to the dramatic rock guitar solos of Firth of Fifth and Fountain of Salmacis. As he embarked on his solo career he developed his exceptional range, pushing musical boundaries into exciting areas, inventing new sounds and also techniques such as ‘tapping’. His solo career went from strength to strength resulting in the highly successful single Cell 151 in the mid-eighties, as well as the STEVE HACKETT and STEVE HOWE super group GTR, highly successful in America.

GENESIS’S induction into the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME in March 2010 stands as a testament to the enduring qualities of their music. Steve has always held a torch for the classic Genesis music. His GENESIS REVISITED II, a double CD, involved several iconic artists and contains many Genesis favourites. It was released in late October 2012. A Genesis Revisited worldwide tour in 2013 was followed by a Genesis Extended tour in 2014 and has continued to tour his particular brand of GENESIS REVISITED by popular demand, interspersed with the might and majesty of his own solo material.

With the announcement throughout Europe and the UK, of his climactic 2019 tour SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND combined with the 40th anniversary of his inaugural solo album SPECTRAL MORNINGS, Steve has ignited huge interest throughout the world to witness this spectacular show.

Tebey Announces “The Good Ones” Tour For Canada

Today, Canadian producer, hit singer-songwriter and 2019 CCMA Album of The Year nominee, Tebey announced The Good Ones tour, kicking off in Kamloops on January 15th, 2020 and wrapping on February 8, 2020 in Montreal, QC. The pre-sale commences October 1st with an on-sale date of October 4th.

The 20-date tour will be Tebey’s first Canadian headlining tour, showcasing his hit songs including “Denim On Denim,” and “Who’s Gonna Love You”, his biggest hits to date achieving Gold status and 7 million streams and 5 million streams respectively. Tebey’s current single “Good Jeans” recently nabbed the #2 spot on the country radio charts and Tebey has garnered 7 No. 1 songs as a writer (including a Billboard #1 song with “Somebody Else Will” performed by country star Justin Moore) in multiple countries along with a No. 1, three top 5’s, two top 10’s and four top 20 hits as an artist.

“My first-ever headline tour has definitely been a long time coming,” Tebey says. Everyone’s path to success is different, and mine has been a long and winding road filled with #1 single highs and surprising lows. Since 2014 my team and I have gradually built a catalog of hit songs and have watched the fan base grow with it. But only now are we finally getting to see my name at the top of the marquee.”

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. As a headliner the onus is on you to sell the tickets. And we’re going into some big venues on this tour like The Commodore in Vancouver, which is 1,000+. It’s a lot of pressure, but it’s also time to take this exciting step.”

Joining Tebey for the second part of the tour is rising star Matt Lang who recently won the coveted 2019 SIRIUSXM Top of the Country contest. The Quebéc native’s debut national single “Water Down The Whiskey” was the most added song at all Canadian radio formats during its first week of release, a promising start for the songwriter and powerful performer as he brings his music into the English market. His debut single, “Love Me Some You”, has over 1.6 million Spotify streams and 2.7 million all-time streams, kickstarting his Canadian country music career in English Canada.

Joining the tour in Kamloops and Vancouver is choir girl turned country troubadour, Kristin Carter. Born and raised in White Rock, BC, Carter grew up with the modern country vibes of Shania Twain, The Dixie Chicks, and Faith Hill in addition to taking cues from the soulful vocals of Beyoncé. With a country sound infused by pop sensibilities and punctuated by powerhouse vocals and lyrics that inspire confidence, Carter’s country music journey has only just begun. Recently signed to Country superstar, Dallas Smith’s SteelHead Music, Kristin Carter will release her debut single, “Karma” in October.

Tebey’s hot new single “The Good Ones”, was released last week via Jayward Artist Group/The Orchard and features Quebec pop superstar Marie Mai. The song hit top ten on the all genre Apple Music single chart in the first days of release and was added to Spotify’s Wild Country and New Boots playlists among others.
