Kim Wilson, the legendary harmonica virtuoso and frontman of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, is preparing for what may be his most personally meaningful tour yet. The upcoming "A Tribute to Chicago Blues" tour represents a homecoming of sorts for Wilson, who cut his teeth playing alongside the very architects of the Chicago blues sound during the genre's golden era.
The "Tribute to Chicago Blues" tour will feature a mix of classic chestnuts and deeper cuts from the Chicago blues catalog. "There will be a lot more traditional songs in the set," Wilson explains. "We haven't decided exactly how we're going to mix it up yet, but I'm hoping I can do this for a little while, to be honest with you."
However, Wilson will maintain his traditional approach of not using set lists. "I prefer to let the energy of the crowd and the performance dictate the evening's direction.”

The Kings of Queen are the hottest Queen tribute in the country, if not the world. Given that he’s been dubbed as the reincarnated Freddie Mercury, frontman Emo Alaeddin is quite the spectacle.
Although there may be others, no other Queen tribute comes close to The Kings of Queen.
Equally important to sounding like Queen, the frontman Emo Alaeddin has a striking resemblance to Freddie Mercury.
Get ready, Frankfort...It's time for a Holly Dolly Christmas!
This year's theme, "A Holly Dolly Christmas," celebrates the one and only Dolly Parton and her spirit of kindness, imagination and giving. Think pink, rhinestones, big hair, country music, butterflies, and a whole lot of holiday sparkle inspired by the one and only Dolly.
Even better, a portion of every parade registration fee will benefit Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, helping put free books into the hands of children and inspire a lifelong love of reading.
One December, not long after Over the Rhine began recording and touring, we were invited to
perform some seasonal songs on a public radio station. We worked up a few carols and
traditional tunes. It actually felt really good and conjured up an unusual mix of feelings from
childhood: innocence, loss, wonder, joy, sadness. I think we were surprised.
People must have tuned into the radio broadcast, because we began receiving inquiries as to
whether we had recorded any of our Christmas songs. In December of 1996 – can it really be
30 years ago? – we recorded and released our first song cycle of some of the Christmas carols
that still haunted us. We included a few original tunes and called our wintry mix The Darkest
Night Of The Year. Folks began snatching up copies and seemed to agree that they hadn’t
heard anything quite like it.
A decade later, in 2006, we released our first full collection of original Christmas/holiday songs
called Snow Angels. What is it about Christmas music and the undeniable gravitational pull it
exerts on some songwriters? So many Christmas songs have already been written. I think we
remain genuinely curious about the ones that haven't yet been written.
A Doublewide, Texas Christmas is an outrageously funny, fast-paced holiday comedy play written by the popular playwright trio Jones, Hope, and Wooten. It centers on the eccentric residents of the tiniest town in Texas as they fight to save their community from county double-crossing while preparing for a disaster-prone nativity contest.
Steve Fossen and Michael Derosier, bassist and drummer for the band Heart during the 1970s and early 1980s, are now touring as Heart By Heart. "Our mission is to perform the classic Heart music as faithfully as we can," Fossen says. The band features vocalist Somar Macek, guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Lizzy Daymont and guitarist Chad Quist. Heart By Heart presents a powerful, dynamic show that includes all the favorite Heart hits as well as deep album cuts that fans will love.
Fossen and Derosier are the powerful driving engine behind Heart's classic hits like “Barracuda”, “Straight On”, “Crazy On You”, “Magic Man”, “Even It Up”, “Dog & Butterfly”, “Heartless”, “Kick It Out”, and more. First formed by Steve Fossen in 1969, Heart went on to release six top-10 albums and landed 20 hit singles on the Billboard top 40 chart. In recognition of their contributions to these iconic recordings, and to Heart’s first seven years of national and international touring, Fossen and Derosier were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the rest of the original Heart lineup in 2013.
