There are some
great upcoming events for music lovers in 2006. The 2005 Grammy
award winner John Mayer is touring during the early part of the
year. This is definitely not one to miss. John Mayer’s career really
took off in 1999-2000. Working out of Atlanta, he produced his first
solo album, “Inside Wants Out”, in 1999.
Mayer became a
regular draw in the Atlanta club circuit. Then, an appearance in
March of 2000 at the South by Southwest Music Festival equated to a
recording contract with a subsidiary of Columbia Records. He
recorded his major label debut, “Room for Squares”, with producer
John Alagia, who had previously worked with artists like Dave
Matthews and Ben Folds Five. Room for Squares featured electric
funky hooks and Mayer's versatile, smooth voice, which bore a
striking resemblance to the stylistic sound of Dave Matthews.

Speaking of Dave
Mathews, the great South African vocalist/guitarist of the Dave
Matthews Band is doing something unusual and interesting. It begins
in Florida on Friday February 3, 2006 as Sovereign of the Seas sails
from Port Canaveral while, simultaneously, Majesty of the Seas sails
from Miami, each ship carrying fans and Artists on a weekend musical
fantasy trip to the Bahamas. Dramatically, in the Atlantic, these
two sister ships will converge and sail side by side, an event of
rare occurrence in cruising history. Artists scheduled to perform
during the cruise include Dave Matthews & Friends, Bob Weir & Ratdog,
G. Love & Special Sauce, Toots & the Maytals, Ozomatli, North
Mississippi Allstars. Mike Doughty's Band, Soulive, Mofro, Michael
Tolcher. ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra), DJ Logic, Motion Potion,
John Brown's Body, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals and Brett Dennen.
The Dave Mathews Band was formed in Virginia in the early '90s.
Featuring Matthews, Stefan Lessard, Leroi Moore, Boyd Tinsley, and
Carter Beauford. They built up a strong word-of-mouth following in
the early '90s by touring the country relentlessly, concentrating on
college campuses. Rumor has it that the Band is planning a summer
tour for 2006. As for the dates and locations, keep your eyes
peeled.
Out of all the
former Beatles, Paul McCartney by far had the most successful solo
career, maintaining a persistent presence in the British and
American charts during the '70s and '80s. In America alone, he
created nine number one singles and seven number one albums during
the first 12 years of his solo career. Although he sold records, and
is wildly popular, McCartney never attained much respect from the
critics, especially when compared to his former partner John Lennon.
This changed entirely with his release of “Flaming Pie” in 1997. One
momentous live performance given by McCartney was "Good Day
Sunshine" performed for the international space station crew. NASA
astronaut Bill McArthur and Russian cosmonaut Valery Tokarev were
treated to a live wake-up call of the Beatles classic in a
first-ever concert linkup to the space station. Currently, Paul
McCartney is not touring.
Coldplay is a
band destined to be hailed as one of the most creatively sparse and
emotionally artistic to come around in quite some time. The
London-based quartet can comfortably go from stunning stadium
anthems to slow-burning churns and do it with a flair like no other.

Rob Thomas is
just wrapping up his first solo tour. The former singer and main
songwriter for Matchbox Twenty, a Florida based alternative group
that found success with a blend of '70s rock influences and 1990s
grunge crunch. The band broke into major success in 1996 with
"Push". They were then off and running. The album “Yourself or
Someone Like You” went platinum a dozen times over in the U.S.
Ultimately, a song he co-wrote for the Carlos Santana album
Supernatural. "Smooth" launched Thomas to stardom. The track
collected three Grammys including Song of the Year, and Thomas was
selected to People's Magazine "Most Beautiful People" list. Thomas
has only two stops left on his current tour:
2/13/06 Adelaide
Entertainment Centre, Adelaide

Park - Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
The Rolling
Stones are on the Worldwide circuit again. Besides the appearance at
this years Superbowl, the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band has an
extensive whirlwind tour in progress. From the hard driving blues
and rock to the mellow psychedelic pop blends, there is no greater
thrill than seeing the best there is. A Rolling Stones Concert is a
once-in-a-lifetime event (more if you’re lucky).
