SAC_ThreeGirlsBuddy.jpgIt's an evening of music and friendship as four talented performers join forces at House of Blues on May 29th at 9 pm in the House of Blues.

Emmylou Harris has a string of country successes to her credit, including the popular, collaborative (with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt) "Trio" album, as well as favorites like "To Know Him is to Love Him," "Sweet Dreams" and "If I Could Only Win Your Love."

Patty Griffin is a singer-songwriter who was named "Artist of the Year" by the Americana Music Association in 2007, and her pop, country and folk songs have led to a Grammy Award nomination and a passionate following.

Shawn Colvin learned to play the guitar at age 10, and her Joni Mitchell-influenced sound has brought her acclaim, including her single, "Sunny Came Home," reaching the U.S. Top Ten and winning Grammy Awards for Song and Record of the Year.

The multi-talented Buddy Miller is a singer, musician, producer and consummate songwriter, and has racked up awards throughout his prolific career, including Album of the Year from the Americana Music Association, and Song of the Year for "Worry to Much."

Individually, these artists are some of the most sought-after and influential in their chosen field. Together, they make magic.

Strength, versatility and a spunky sense of adventure are qualities more often associated with literary heroines than successful country singers... but then there's nothing typical about Sara Evans. Whether dominating country radio airwaves with one of her many hit singles, or attracting a new legion of fans with her spirited turn on "Dancing with the Stars", Evans' drive, talent and determination have placed her in an elite class of artists who transcend musical genres to become a household name.

Sara has won numerous accolades, among them the Academy of Country Music's Female Vocalist of the Year and the Country Music Association's Video of the Year for "Born to Fly". She was named 2006 Female Vocalist of the Year in the R&R Reader's Poll and has been celebrated as one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People".

uha_lewis_black_websote.jpgOn Saturday May 16th at Horseshoe Hammond, Lewis Black will be yelling and raging for your amusement!

Lewis Black is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sold-out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and The United States. He is one of few performers to sell out multiple, renowned theatres, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre and New York City Center. In August 2007, he was the first stand-up comedian to ever perform in concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

Lewis' live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. Lewis yells so they don't have to. He is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world. For more information on Lewis Black, click here.

UHA_chevelle_300x225.jpgOn Friday May 15th at 8 pm at Horseshoe Hammond

Inspired by the lurching riffs of Helmet and the soft/loud vocal styling of Tool, Chicago-based trio Chevelle's aggressive, heavy sound is all about mounting tension exploding into raw guitar bursts. Formed in 1995, Chevelle comprised brothers Sam, Pete, and Joe Loeffler, the last of whom joining up after he played better than the gang's original bassist. In 1999, Chevelle released their Steve Albini-produced debut album, Point #1, on Squint Entertainment. Three years later, the band had inked a deal with Epic and issued Wonder What's Next, released in August 2002. The album went platinum by the next summer and their second single, "Send the Pain Below," was a number one hit on modern rock and mainstream radio. Main stage dates with the annual Ozzfest tour followed that summer, and 2003 brought a concert album, Live from the Road. Chevelle returned in the fall of 2004 with their third full-length, This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In).  In 2005, Joe left the band to be replaced by Dean Bernardini, brother-in-law to the other members.  With the new member came a newfound energy and optimism that replaced the internal bickering of the past, and the guys carried that spirit into the recording of their next album, April 2007's Vena Sera.
