After more than twenty off and on years, recording popular music, Bonnie Raitt achieved belated commercial success with her 10th album, Nick of Time. Released in 1989, Nick of Time went to the top of the U.S. charts, her first of two No 1 albums, and won three Grammy Awards. At the same time, she walked away with a fourth Grammy Award for her duet "In the Mood" with John Lee Hooker on his album The Healer. In March 2000, Raitt was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Robert Cray (born 1 August 1953, Columbus, Georgia) is a blues musician, guitarist and singer. After several years of regional success, Cray was signed to Mercury Records in 1982. His third album release, Strong Persuader, received a Grammy Award, while the crossover single "Smokin' Gun" gave him wider appeal and name recognition. Charlie Daniels, 38 Special and Shooter Jennings - June 1st In 1974, Daniels organized the first in a series of Volunteer Jam concerts based in or around Nashville, Tennessee. Except for a three-year gap in the late 1980s, these jams have continued ever since. In 1975, he had a top 30 hit as leader of the Charlie Daniels Band with the Southern Rock self-identification anthem "The South's Gonna Do It Again". "Long Haired Country Boy" was also a minor hit in that year. Daniels won the Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance in 1979 for "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", which reached #3 on the charts. The following year, "Devil" became a major crossover success on rock radio stations, after its inclusion on the soundtrack for the hit movie Urban Cowboy. 38 Special is an American rock band named for the .38 Special bullet. The band was formed by neighborhood friends Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zant in 1975 in Jacksonville, Florida. Donnie's older brother Ronnie was lead singer for the band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Another brother, Johnny, is now the lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd Among 38 Special's best-known songs are "Caught Up In You" (1982) and "If I'd Been the One" (1983), both of which hit #1 on Billboard magazine's album rock chart, and "Second Chance" (1989), a #1 hit on Billboard's adult contemporary chart, and sung by former member Max Carl who is now a member of Grand Funk Railroad. Other hit singles include "Hold on Loosely" (1981) and "Back Where You Belong" (1984). Waylon Albright "Shooter" Jennings (born May 19, 1979) is an American Country/Southern Rock singer, and the only child of country music legends Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. His middle name comes from his father's drummer, Richie Albright. His father nicknamed him "Shooter" after he urinated on a nurse shortly after birth (as the elder Jennings wrote in his 1996 autobiography). Camila and Belanova - June 21st Crosby, Stills and Nash - June 23rd Initially formed by the trio of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, the genesis of the group lies in two 1960s rock bands, The Byrds and The Hollies, and the demise of a third, Buffalo Springfield. The trio's first album, Crosby, Stills, & Nash, was released in May of 1969 and was an immediate hit, spawning two Top 40 hit singles and receiving key airplay on the new FM radio format. The release of “Ohio” following the Kent State shootings in 1970 marked the boldest musical statement made to that date regarding the Vietnam war, calling out Richard Nixon by name and voicing the counterculture's rage and despair at the events. Between "Ohio", their appearance in both the festival and movie of Woodstock, and the runaway success of their two albums, the group found themselves in the position of enjoying a level of adulation far greater than experienced with their previous bands. Intocable with Horoscopos de Durango - June 27th Boston with Styx - June 29th Boston is an American rock band from Boston, Massachusetts that achieved its most notable successes during the 1970s and 1980s. Centered on guitarist, songwriter, and producer Tom Scholz, the band is a staple of classic rock radio playlists. Boston's best-known works include the singles "More Than a Feeling," "Peace of Mind," "Foreplay/Long Time," and "Don't Look Back." They have sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Styx (pronounced "sticks") is an American rock band that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s, with such hits as "Blue Collar Man, Fooling Yourself, Come Sail Away and Lady." Styx is the first band to have four consecutive albums certified multi-platinum by the RIAA. Journey and Cheap Trick - July 19th Journey is an American rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 1973. The band has gone through several phases since its inception by former members of Santana. The band's greatest commercial success came in the late 1970s through the early 1980s with a series of power ballads and songs such as "Don't Stop Believing", "Any Way You Want It", "Faithfully", "Open Arms", "Separate Ways", and "Wheel in the Sky." Journey has been eligible for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame since 2000, but as of 2008, they have yet to be inducted. Gregg Rolie is currently the only member of Journey who has been inducted into the Hall of Fame, as a member of its parent band Santana. Cheap Trick has created a substantial fan base through a hard-edged yet melodic pop sound that combines the tunefulness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of punk rock. Their biggest hits to date include "Surrender", "I Want You to Want Me", "Dream Police", "Voices", "Stop This Game", "If You Want My Love", "Don't Be Cruel" (a cover of Elvis Presley's hit), "Ghost Town", and "The Flame." Steely Dan - July 22nd Los Lonely Boys with Los Lobos Sheryl Crow, James Blunt and Toots and the Maytals - August 18th Alan Jackson - September 11th Alan Jackson will be rescheduling his concert at AVA Amphitheater for Sept. 11th! All tickets will be good for the changed date. Thanks! Alan Jackson (born 17 October 1958 in Newnan, Georgia) is an American country singer-songwriter who has sold over 40 million records. He was influenced by the new traditional country of the 1980s, and he was one of the most popular country singers of the 1990s, blending both honky tonk and mainstream country sounds and penning many of his own hits. His success continued into the 2000s and his music became increasingly counterposed with that of more mainstream country acts that were moving toward a more pop music sound. He is the recipient and nominee of multiple awards. www.alanjackson.com UPCOMING EVENTS Event Date & Time Venue   Bonnie Raitt with Robert Cray Band - May 16th Bonnie Raitt Friday 5/16/2008 8:00 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Charlie Daniels, 38 Special and Shooter Jennings - June 1st Charlie Daniels Sunday 6/1/2008 7:30 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Camila and Belanova - June 21st Camila and Belanova Saturday 6/21/2008 8:00 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Crosby, Stills and Nash - June 23rd Crosby, Stills and Nash Monday 6/23/2008 7:30 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Intocable with Horoscopos de Durango - June 27th Intocable and Horoscopos Friday 6/27/2008 8:00 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Boston with Styx - June 29th Boston with Styx Sunday 6/29/2008 7:30 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Journey and Cheap Trick - July 19th Journey Saturday 7/19/2008 8:00 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Steely Dan - July 22nd Steely Dan Tuesday 7/22/2008 7:30 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Los Lonely Boys with Los Lobos Los Lonely Boys Sunday 7/27/2008 7:30 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Tickets go on sale on 5/17/2008 at 10:00 am PST Sheryl Crow, James Blunt and Toots and the Maytals - August 18th Sheryl Crow Monday 8/18/2008 7:30 pm PST AVA Amphitheater Tucson, AZ Tickets go on sale on 5/17/2008 at 10:00 am PST 1 2 Next > Last >> Copyright © 2008 AVA Amphitheater, All Rights Reserved.
