Hy-Vee, Inc. and David Joseph Benefit Wounded Soldiers




Hy-Vee, Inc. and David Joseph Launch Promotion to Benefit Wounded Soldiers and Their Families through the National Fisher House Foundation


Proceeds from CD promotion raise funds for military family support program. Hy-Vee, Inc. and Nashville recording artist, David Joseph, have joined forces to raise funds for the National Fisher House Foundation (Fisher House). Similar to the Ronald McDonald House, Fisher House provides housing for military families so they can be with their loved ones during hospitalization.

Hy-Vee, Inc. and Nashville recording artist, David Joseph, have joined forces to raise funds for the National Fisher House Foundation (Fisher House). Similar to the Ronald McDonald House, Fisher House provides housing for military families so they can be with their loved ones during hospitalization. With a March-April promotion in place at nearly 200 Hy-Vee supermarket stores, a portion of the proceeds made from the sale of Joseph's eleven song CD, "I'm Coming Home," will go directly to Fisher House. Hy-Vee has included a $2 coupon for Joseph's military tribute CD in their monthly coupon book, which has a distribution of one million people. With a 40 second in-house commercial playing in many Hy-Vee store locations plus extensive promotional materials and display units to showcase the CD/DVD two pack, Joseph feels confident that Fisher House will experience increased revenue from this promotion.

David Joseph visiting the Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. Joseph gave away 100 DVD Players and several hundred DVD's to some of our nations most severely injured soldiers.

Joseph has always been passionate about his support for the military. After 80 performances at 40 military bases across the country and over 25,000 free DVD's distributed to the troops and their families, Joseph wanted to affect the lives of this community more directly. Fisher House provides comfort homes for injured or ill soldiers on major military bases and VA medical centers at no cost, enabling friends and families to be with their loved ones during treatment. It was clear to both Joseph and Hy-Vee that Fisher House was one of the best ways to contribute to the military community in a meaningful way.

"It was after a performance at the Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC), a trauma one facility in San Antonio, Texas, that I had the opportunity to meet some of our nation's most severely wounded heroes," says Joseph. "The experience had a deep, moving effect on me. BAMC showed me just how important it is for soldiers and their families to be together during the long road to recovery. Fisher House gives these folks exactly what they need and doesn't ask for a dime. I wanted to contribute to that beautiful gift and Hy-Vee was generous enough to work with me on this promotion."

Hy-Vee's $2 coupon can be redeemed as late as April 15, but Joseph will contribute proceeds indefinitely. More information about Joseph can be found at www.DavidJoseph.org.

About The National Fisher House Foundation:

The Fisher House™ program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. The program meets a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. The Fisher House program serves more than 10,000 families annually and has made nearly 2.5 million days of lodging available to family members since the program originated in 1990.

Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction at Pearl




Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction to perform
at The Pearl Concert Theater


Monday, May 18, 2009, 8:00 p.m.

Tickets On-Sale - Saturday, March 21 at 1:00 p.m.

Tickets are $89, $129 and $154, plus any additional service fees

Rumors were put to rest earlier this year when Nine Inch Nails front-man Trent Reznor posted on his website that NIN would tour in 2009 with the reunited Jane’s Addiction. The first wave of the North American Tour includes a stop in Las Vegas at the intimate Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort on Monday, May 18, 2009 at 8:00 p.m.

NIN, the most popular industrial name to make the cross-over to mainstream success, was created by front man Trent Reznor and has experienced success with fans and critics throughout the ’90s and 2000s.

Following the 1989 release of Pretty Hate Machine, Reznor, along with a backing band, began touring with acts like Skinny Puppy, the Jesus and Mary Chain and Peter Murphy. By touring with more rock acts versus industrial bands, NIN expanded their fan base quickly, even receiving airplay of “Down In It” in dance clubs, helping it to reach Billboard’s dance and modern rock charts. In 1991, NIN joined the inaugural Lollapalooza tour where the band first joined forces with Jane’s Addiction, that year’s headliners.

NIN’s second full-length release, The Downward Spiral (1994), was a concept album that brought fans a new sound and preceded the group performing at that year’s Woodstock anniversary. The double CD release The Fragile followed in 1999, debuting at #1. Touring and additional releases followed and in 2008 Reznor released an instrumental album Ghosts I-IV, followed several months later by The Slip which were both released on the Null Corporation independent label.

Fronted by charismatic lead singer Perry Farrell, alternative rockers Jane’s Addiction, with members Dave Navarro (guitar), Eric Avery (bass) and Stephen Perkins (drums) caused a stir in the mid-’80s with their blend of influenced rock. The group released the aptly-titled Nothing’s Shocking (1988) which spent 35 weeks on the charts. In 1990 the band’s follow up studio album Ritual de lo Habitual gave Jane’s Addiction commercial success, reaching Top 20 and gold status. Farrell went on to create Lollapalooza as mentioned above and headlined the festival as a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction. After disbanding, members kept active, performing with other groups and creating side projects before reuniting several times in the ’90s and early 2000s, but never with the original lineup. Completing the tour line-up and reuniting for the first time with all four original members, Jane’s Addiction is set to hit the stage for this 2009 tour.

This event is presented by Andrew Hewitt and Live Nation. The Pearl Box Office is open from noon – 7 p.m. daily. Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and show time is 8:00 p.m. The Pearl is home to Miller Lite Live, presented by Cricket Wireless and sponsored by Citi; for more information on upcoming concerts, please call 702-942-6888.

No drama, just a lot of hits on Fleetwood Mac tour
10 March 2009
Reuters

Early in the fourth show of Fleetwood Mac's Unleashed tour at Auburn Hills , Mich. , on Sunday, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham referenced the group's "fairly complex and convoluted emotional history," drawing a laugh from the crowd and even some knowing smiles from his bandmates.

But can there be a Fleetwood Mac without the drama?

The Unleashed outing makes a case that there certainly can. For the group's first tour in five years there's no new album and therefore none of the tension that comes when introducing fresh material. Everyone is reportedly getting along well these days. And the group has had even more time to adjust to life without Christine McVie, now 11 years (but only one tour) removed from Fleetwood Mac.

What that leaves the Mac and its audience with is hits -- an abundance from one of the most successful catalogs in rock history, more than enough to keep the two-hour and 20-minute show airborne from start to finish. The Fleetwood Mac that's trotting around North America now is comfortable in its position and is cheerfully celebrating its legacy, and the warm familiarity of its 23-song greatest hits set is likely just what its fans -- particularly those paying $80 or $150 for their tickets -- want.

The parade began with "Monday Morning" before sliding into "The Chain" and "Dreams," each in their usual No. 2 and 3 positions on the set list. "Gypsy," "Rhiannon," "Sara," "Landslide," "Gold Dust Woman," "Go Your Own Way " and "Don't Stop" had everyone singing along. And the group still managed to deliver a few surprises including "Tusk," album deep cuts such as "I Know I'm Not Wrong" and "Storms," the return of "Second Hand News," and a rendition of McVie's "Say You Love Me" with Buckingham and Stevie Nicks trading verses.

But more than ever, the Unleashed show underscored the fact that in McVie's absence, Fleetwood Mac has become the Buckingham and Nicks show -- which does not minimize the continuing strength of drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie as a rhythm section or the six additional musicians' role in bringing a studio-quality sheen to the songs. It gave the night two distinct flavors -- Nicks' ethereal cool and Buckingham's manic edge.

It's an equation that gives a dominant edge to Buckingham, with his fluid, finger-picked guitar styles and aggressively inventive melodies such as "Go Insane" and a solo acoustic rendering of "Big Love." He delivered a spirited take of the original Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well (Part 1)," then tore the roof off with a searing solo at the end of the slow-burning "I'm So Afraid" that made it as much a highlight as any of the set's bigger hits. Nicks did rise to the occasion with her 1983 solo hit "Stand Back," and had the night's last word with "Silver Springs," but even she seemed respectful of, and perhaps resigned to the sheer force of her former boyfriend's musical personality.

Buckingham noted during the concert that "every time we get together again it's always different, always a sense of forward motion, and we always have more fun." The Unleashed show is more like a holding pattern, but few in the audience would deny there's fun in hearing all those hits.

POISON & SPECIAL GUEST CHEAP TRICK





In what is sure to be the biggest rock event this summer, Britain ’s greatest arena rock band Def Leppard will join forces with Poison and special guest Cheap Trick for a 40-city North American Tour set to hit MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, September 5. Tickets will go on-sale on Saturday, March 14 at 10am.

The tour, which kicks off on June 23rd in Camden , N.J, promises an unprecedented night for those in attendance. The show will highlight three decades of music from three of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest bands for a four-hour interactive concert experience that will begin the moment that the doors open. It will feature Bluetooth technology and delivery, text communications prior to and during performances and a host of interactive offerings. This in addition to an arsenal of nearly 60 Top 40 hits including Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Unskinny Bop,” “Ride the Wind,” “Somethin’ To Believe In,” and “Nothin’ But A Good Time,” as well as Cheap Trick’s “I Want You To Want Me” and “Surrender.”
