The summer season kicks off with a little Latin-inflected, rock n’ roll on Independence Day as three sizzling acts take to the stage: Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys and Alejandro Escovedo. Los Lobos – comprised of four East L.A. friends plus a saxophonist/keyboardist who came on board in the early ’80s – is still that authentic, smokin’ hot wolf pack of its early days. While pushing musical boundaries and resisting the siren call of commercial whims, the band has earned a fistful of Grammys and a chart-topping hit (a 1987 remake of Ritchie Valens’ “La Bamba”). Unplugged or not, the quintet dips into a vast ocean of genres – folkloric, blues, ...

“Part overgrown kid, part artistic maverick – and seldom, if ever predictable…” (The Chicago Tribune), Bruce Hornsby brings lyrical, laidback charm and extraordinary musicianship to the stage. Despite his breezy demeanor, the Grammy winner writes songs with depth. And though Hornsby’s solo career has included a slew of hits – “The Way It Is” and “Mandolin Rain” for starters – he also plays well with others, most notably as the ’90s piano man for The Grateful Dead. Rockin’ acoustic-roots-Americana band, Railroad Earth, teams up with Bruce Hornsby & the Noisemakers for the “Noise of the Earth Tour.” Show Details & Tickets: Monday, July 15, 2013 Deer Valley Resort's Snow Park Amphitheater Gates open ...

The August 4 concert grew out of two profound, musical films that rocked Sundance Film Festival this past January. The faces and voices from “Twenty Feet from Stardom” and “Muscle Shoals” lend their rich, melodic stories to a groundbreaking, live concert.

A natural entertainer, she comes to the stage with guitar, poetry, a pure – sometimes haunting – voice and a delightful sense of humor. And as The New York Times put ...

Wrapping up the summer season with R&B-tinged pop that rocks, OneRepublic brings “All the Right Moves” to the coolest of right places.

OneRepublic front man, Ryan Tedder, has written chart-topping songs for Beyoncé (“Halo”), Kelly Clarkson (“Already Gone”), and Leona Lewis (“Bleeding Love”), but it’s his group’s multi-platinum single “Apologize” that garnered the “most popular download in American history” distinction.

Armed with nothing but a stool, a microphone and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula's ability to create humor on the spot has become the stuff of legend.
