Kenny Chesney - The Man Behind the Music

By Matt Ryan

Kenny Chesney is one of those names that everyone has heard of, and the majority of people have heard one or two of his songs. In 2008, he received the Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year award, which is yet another achievement for his greatness. His laid-back appeal, along with his amazing music, makes his shows realistic and worth take a few hours to see!

His career began back in 1993. Since then he has released 13 albums, 11 of which have been certified Gold or higher. Over 30 of his songs have made it to Country's top 10 list, and continue to stay there. Not only is this guy full of charm, but his songs reflect reality that anyone can relate to.

Mr. Chesney was born in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1968. When he was 5-years old, his parents had given him his first guitar. You might think this is where his career started, but he quickly put the guitar down as it "hurt his fingers". Later in life he played, as a receiver, on the Gibbs High School football team.

After high school, Kenny Chesney went to East Tennessee State University. He was involved in a Bluegrass Program during his term here. At this point in his life, Kenny Chesney had started saving for a new guitar. Once he had bought one, and graduated, he followed his dream to Nashville.

Shortly after his arrival, in 1992, BMI and Opryland Music Group signed him. He had two top hits, right of the bat, "In my Wildest Dreams" and "All I Need to Know". Each of his songs tells a story about a piece of his life, as each one tells of his emotions and during particular events that he has experienced. This personalization is one of the many reasons audiences adore him.

Aside from singing - like many other stars today - Chesney has decided to begin a new venture. Rather than create his own clothing line or patent his own scent, he is planning to create his own Rum. Being the caring person he is he will not do so without consulting his fans. He surveyed his fans - from his site - to find out what they would like to see in this new Rum. Fans from all over are dying to get their hands on it.

Still performing, tickets to his most recent show in Boston, didn't last more than 10 minutes. Normally this would not be a huge accomplishment, but due to the weak economy, ticket sales for entertainment purposes are down, yet his shows are not! Fans find comfort in his music and his performances.

Kenny Chesney has won an exuberant number of awards, some of which include 1997 ACM New Male Vocalist of the Year and 2008 Entertainer of the Year. Many others, such as single of the year, best video, and best male country artist line his bookshelves!

His charismatic personality and touching lyrics will capture audiences for years to come. Should he tour near you, don't miss the chance to see the most real country performance of your life. - 18424

Jonas Brothers Tickets - Enjoy a night of family fun now!

By Matt Ryan

It has been a long time - if ever - that we have seen a young band as pure and innocent as the Jonas Brothers. They are not only passionate about what they do - sing and play music - but about their beliefs and how they are being raised; all of which comes out clearly in their performances and songs. They are still called "another American boy band", but typically by those who have not followed their performances or success. Their talent and passion have driven them quickly to the top, which will continue to take them to unbelievable places.

The Jonas Brothers are just that - three brothers who formed a band. They have been raised with Christian values, which come out in their expressive music. Kevin plays guitar, Joseph is the lead vocalist, and Nicholas does rhythm and guitar. Kevin took lead on the band and was the key to their first CD - "Jonas Brothers". Joseph, on the other hand, wanted to be a comedian - not a musician. The youngest, Nicholas, is just happy to be along for the ride - and just as talented as his brothers.

The Jonas Brothers have made quite a name for themselves in the few years they have been around. In 2005, they were noticed by Columbia executives because of a song that Nick Jonas and his father had done - and this is where it all began. Columbia quickly signed with the band and helped them to release their first album - "It's About Time" - the following year (2006). The band had help from amazing talent like Desmond child of Aerosmith and Billy Mann of Destiny's Child.

Hollywood Records signed with the Jonas Brothers and helped them with the production and release of their second album. This next album had a song called "Kids of the Future" which got the band a lot of attention and began to captivate fans. "I Wanna be Like You" was another song, on their second album, and was one of their Disney cover songs as well.

It was their third album that changed their lives! Songs like ""Burnin' Up", "Pushin' Me Away", "Tonight", and "A Little Bit Longer" were number one hits on iTunes - and other places - for long stretch of time. After the release of this third album, ticket sales began to increase immensely. This was a turning point for the Jonas Brothers and there was no turning back - they are on their way to stardom!

The Jonas Brothers make appearances - yes while on tour - but in other venues as well. They have been known to make guest appearances on many Disney shows like "Hannah Montana". The Jonas Brothers also appeared on Disney's original movie "Camp Rock". They didn't play as themselves, in the movie, but they did play as a band of three who were sent off to music camp for the summer.

In their short existence as a popular band they have already won a number of awards and honors. They won American Music Awards "Breakthrough Artist" award two short years after being founded - in 2008. That same year they were nominated for a Grammy for "Best New Artists". They have also acquired awards from MTV - Europe Music Awards "New Act" - and Nickelodeon - Kid's Choice Award "Favorite Music Group".

The Jonas Brothers are very talented individuals, and will continue to be a success. Whether you are looking for a night out with the family, a treat for your kids, or even a gift for a niece - tickets to a Jonas Brothers show would fit the bill! This is one show that is safe for the whole family, and that the entire family will enjoy! - 18424

What brought Nickelback to the top?

By Matt Ryan

Nickelback is a rock band, originating from Canada, that is made up of 5 stunningly talented musicians. The mix of personalities and the obvious skill creates music that is nothing short of energetic. Their energy and passion attracts fans - of all ages - continuously, hit after hit. If you enjoy music, and welcome a good show, attending a Nickelback performance should be on the top of your list for the year.

Nickelback began their career in the mid to late 90's - originally inspired by a band known as "Creed". They; however, had a passion and drive that pushed them to be more successful than their inspiration. Their venture was not an easy one, nor one that happened overnight, they faced many struggles and bumps on their journey to the top. Today; however, it does seem as if they began right where they are - at the top.

Chad Kroeger - lead singer of Nickelback - had perfected his musical talent by performing with many small bands in his hometown of Hanna. He, like many other musicians, knew he would have to go bigger if he ever wanted to make a name for himself. He, and his brother Mike, went off to Vancouver where they could hopefully begin to get noticed.

In 1996, two more musicians joined Chad and Mike on their adventure - Ryan Vikedal and Ryan Peake. This is when the group decided to call themselves Nickelback. (Nickelback was a clever name, devised from a catch phrase Mike would say to his customers when he worked at Starbucks.)

One thing that these musicians had was heart, and this shined through in every song and performance. In the beginning, they could not afford professional advertising so they had to do their own. They approached club owners, radio station DJs, created a YouTube website, and advertised their own performances with homemade posters and advertisements. Later, this same year, the released a few songs and began to tour.

The year 2000 opened new doors for the band. Canadian radio stations were looking to showcase only local bands this year, which gave Nickelback their window of opportunity. "The State" was their most recent release, and was the song that began to catch the attention of many - including recording artists. Canadian and U.S. recording firms signed contracts with the band for distribution rights of "The State".

In 2005 Ryan Vikedal was replaced by Daniel Adair. This did not; however, put a halt to their fame. The same year their released "All the Right Reasons". This album sold over 7-million copies, and stayed on the top 30 charts for two years - and these are only the stats for the United States.

The passion that drives Nickelback is what makes them so special and what captivates thousands of audiences each year. Their music is beyond phenomenal, and their shows are even better. (They actually entice audiences to participate in their shows!) Their energy quickly spreads throughout the entire audience; you cannot help but enjoy your time at one of their performances. Their 2009 tour is in full swing; get tickets now while you still have a chance! - 18424
