Justis began his musical career in northern Louisiana after leaving the US Army in 1971 He started by singing covers of country artists Waylon Jennings, Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie Nelson, David Allan Coe, and others in the “outlaw” genre One can refer to the song “Folksinger’s Lament” on the new CD for a tongue-in-cheek history of how it all began It wasn’t until Mike moved to northern California in 1978 that he began the process of becoming a singer/songwriter During this time, Mike was listening to a lot of John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young, all of whom have had a strong influence on his songwriting Mike partnered up with musician friends Steven Mclane and Kathy Barwick to form “Poetic Justis”, an enduring folk/blues/country group that played in and around the Sacramento area for over 25 years

"'Chicago' still glitters hypnotically" -- Ben Brantley, The New York Times

There's never been a better time to experience "Chicago," Broadway's razzle-dazzle smash This triumphant hit musical is the recipient of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands of standing ovations A sensational tale of sin, corruption and all that jazz, it's no surprise that "Chicago" has wowed audiences from Mexico City to Moscow, from Sao Paulo to South Africa And now it's returning to Sacramento

If you're looking for your first Broadway musical, "Chicago" has everything you could want: knockout dancing, an edge-of-your-seat story and one showstopper after another If you loved the Academy Award-winning film, nothing beats the live show, and if you are already intimately acquainted with the musical, experience that sizzle again "Chicago" always delivers

Come on, babe! Head to "Chicago" We're hotter than ever

Hoy Hoy, FeatstersThe legendary guitarists from Little Feat, Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett return! After three sold-out shows in Northern California last February, the legendary guitarists from Little Feat, Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett are returning for a four date mini-tour

The acoustic duo, just back from Little Feat’s annual Jamaican sojourn, will perform songs from the vast and popular Little Feat catalog plus other guitar/Americana music Additionally, Fred and Paul did a month (Nov 16 - Dec 12, 2008) in Scotland, Spain, the Netherlands, Wales and England and have a new live recording from their UK tour of 2008 The new CD will be available at these shows, as well as a specially designed highly collectible poster designed by the equally legendary Fillmore poster artist, Stanley Mouse

Little Feat's unconventional signature of earthy, organic appeal and polished, first-rate musicianship wrapped around eclectic and memorable songs--clearly delivered as an authentic labor of love--has been a lasting fixture on the musical landscape since 1969 As American as apple pie--and rock ‘n roll itself--Feat’s music transcends boundaries, a freewheeling fusion of California rock and Dixie-inflected funk-boogie In the mix as well are strains of folk, blues, rockabilly, country and jazz, inventing a hybrid sound that is truly Little Feat’s own

Barrere and Tackett, in their acoustic setting, give their own songs plus select songs by Dylan (Tackett was Dylan's guitarist), The Band and Woody Guthrie the warmest front porch vibe in this "all that you dream" concert Sacramento favorites, Kate Gaffney & Steve Randall open

Initially formed as an acoustic string band, seven years of constant touring has transformed Hot Buttered Rum into a plugged-in, percussive powerhouse that wows critics and fans alike Their left-coast rock reveals an access to jazz, country, and world music that few groups can match While the band's music belies simple categorization, its songwriting and stage chemistry delights listeners at every turn

Hot Buttered Rum is just as comfortable plugging in at a large-scale rock festival as it is inviting the audience to enjoy its quieter repertoire at an acoustic folk session Perhaps this is why the band has enjoyed success at such diverse festivals as the Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo, Grey Fox, High Sierra and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival HBR has managed to do all of this without the use of drums, opting instead to channel their music through the guitars, mandolins, fiddles, banjos and string basses of traditional bluegrass These, along with their occasional flutes, accordions, and other sundry instruments, are amplified with both electric pickups and microphones, giving them the volume and punch to carry through even the largest sound systems

The Black Eyed Peas just announced their first tour since 2006 The 100-date trek, called The END World Tour 2010, kicks off in February

The tour will be produced by AEG Live According to the press release, the tour will have several "green" elements, in addition to a charitable element, that will be announced in the future

"AEG Live has always been a company that likes to execute out-of-the-box ideas Our newest clients, the Black Eyed Peas, have defined that concept like no other group in contemporary music and culture," Randy Phillips, president and CEO of AEG Live, said in a statement "We expect our first hundred shows together to be a roller-coaster ride that will redefine the live entertainment experience as only the Peas can"

The band released their chart-topping, single-spawning album The END in June At the time, the band said the album's club-banging sound was influenced by the time WillIAm spent shooting "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" in Australia

"He would always go to those clubs and get influenced by electronic music," Taboo said "All four of us are back, for the people that are wondering if Fergie is coming back Of course WillIAm is back, ApldeAp and myself, so it's gonna be much more uplifting It's a dance album It's for people around the world"

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Elvis Costello, hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time,” makes his Mondavi Center debut Singer and songwriter Elvis Costello has had a singular career following his musical curiosity Originally perceived as a part of the British punk/new wave scene of the late 1970s, Costello has matured and expanded over the years to such an extent that he’s now widely recognized as one of the greatest singers, songwriters, and performers of his generation His music has ranged far beyond rock, touching upon and drawing from such disparate styles as country, jazz, soul, pop, classical, opera, and R&B

Elvis Costello was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 (with his original band, the Attractions) His other awards include an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for “Scarlet Tide” (from the film Cold Mountain), a couple of Grammys, and several other awards He hosts the popular television series Spectacle on the Sundance Channel and has appeared in several films, including Delirious, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Talladega Nights
