About One of These Nights - The Songs of The Eagles:
https://www.eaglescoverband.com/

The time… the early ’70s.
The place… a dark desert highway.
The setting… the famous Hotel California which according to the legend is the place “you can never leave.”

Of course, you will never want to leave as the familiar chart-topping music of The Eagles: Henley, Frey, Schmit and Walsh fills the room with the songs loved by generations for more than 40 years.
Inside the Hotel California you will find the Tequila Sunrise Ballroom where a six piece band performs to perfection. The Eagles greatest hits such as, “Take It Easy” to “Get Over it.” The male vocalist will “Take You To The Limit,” with his dynamic version of “Witchy Woman” and “Heartache Tonight.”

With five number one singles and four number one albums, The Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970’s. At the end of the 20th Century, two of those albums, “Eagles: Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)” and “Hotel California,” ranked among the ten best-selling albums ever, according to the certifications of the Record Industry Association of America.

Though most of its members came from outside of California, the group was closely identified with a country- and folk–tinged sound that initially found favor in and around Los Angeles in the late '60s, as played by bands such as, ‘The Flying Burito Brothers’ and ‘Poco’, which both contributed members to ‘The Eagles.’ The band also drew upon traditional rock n’ roll styles and in their later work helped defined the broadly popular rock sound, eventually referred to as Classic Rock.  This helped The Eagles to achieve a perennial appeal among the generations of music fans who continued to buy their records many years after they had split up, which inspired the reunion they mounted in the mid-'90s. The Eagles were inducted into the Hall of Fame in January 1983.

The Eagles released their first album in 28 years in October 2007 and the new touring schedule to promote this album is guaranteed to spark a resurgence in The Eagles music.

Sit Back, close your eyes and feel the years drop away as you experience a musical journey that will transport you to the very best of times!

About Pato Banton:
https://officialpatobanton.com/

Pato Banton is a grammy nominated reggae legend that has recorded and toured the world with The English Beat, Steel Pulse, UB40 & STING! (just to name a few) . During the year 2000, while in the midst of a global trek with Peter Gabriel’s WOMAD organization, that combined huge festivals with music outreach programs to poor and underprivileged communities, Pato learned that two of his sons had been shot in a drive-by shooting! He immediately put his career on hold and turned his sorrow into the impetus for community & educational initiatives that would consume the next six years of his life.

Pato created an organization called “Musical Connections” and in partnership the Community Safety Team, provided tuition and counseling for “at risk” young people in 16 different communities across his city of Birmingham, UK. This project was so successful that Pato was approached by the West Midlands Police Department to tackle the ongoing problem of gun crime in some of the poorest neighborhoods. Within a few years this partnership greatly reduced gun crime across the entire city and Pato was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the BBC and entered into the British Music Hall of Fame during the same year.

In 2006, after feeling that he had planted enough seeds of progress within his home community, Pato decided to relocate to Southern California and embark on the second phase of his musical journey, taking with him the years of experience in the field of Loving Service. Since then Pato has recorded many albums and collaborated with artists all over the world. His most recent albums Love Is The Greatest & The Words Of Rastafari were released on Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong Records International.

Pato Banton’s four-decade public presence has increasingly transcended music to convey a positive & uplifting message of global peace and love for humanity. Now based in Southern California, he continues to record and tour the world extensively with his band The Now Generation, while simultaneously serving as a Teacher, Minister, Counselor and Mentor to his Fans, Friends & Family worldwide!

Having just celebrated their 30th year in existence in 2018, Sony recording artists Led Zepagain have become highly regarded as the most accurate and authentic replication of Led Zeppelin in the world today.

With well over a million downloads on iTunes to their credit, Led Zepagain’s popularity has also seeped into pop culture by having been mentioned on the network TV shows “The Gilmore Girls”, “Chicago Fire” and “Bad Judge” !

In January of 2004, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page himself attended a Led Zepagain show at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. He was absolutely astonished at the bands accuracy stating “It’s amazing how much you sound like us. You must have grown up on this because you were inside the music, and you paid attention to detail in your presentation…I can tell you guys really love our music!”

This encounter led to the members of Led Zepagain attending Led Zeppelin's 2007 Reunion Concert at London's O2 Arena by invitation of Mr. Page as well as a surprise visit from Jason Bonham in March of 2009 as he sat in with the band on their encore performance of the song "Rock and Roll".

Led Zepagain was honored to have been featured on AXS TV’s “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands” in 2014, and were asked to come back for an encore performance in March of 2017 to perform the iconic Led Zeppelin lV album in it’s entirety.

Having played nationally and internationally in such places as Japan, Russia, Ireland, Panama, Alaska, Germany, Chile, Bosnia, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Canada, Paraguay, Kosovo, Mexico City and Guam, Led Zepagain regularly performs to packed houses all over the world. We guarantee that from the sound and the look, to the vintage equipment and costuming, Led Zepagain will be the closest thing that you will ever see to a live Led Zeppelin performance! Come on out and see what Jimmy Page was talking about.

Led Zepagain will prove that although the band members may be different, The Song Remains The Same.

At a young age his favorite things to do were going to the Rodeo, listening to country music, singing and playing guitar. Soon enough, Brodie formed and fronted a southern rock band and had the good fortune of touring the country opening up for big artists in front of sold out arenas. His band even charted on Billboard. With his southern rock roots, Brodie returned to what he loved the most, "country music". While writing songs for his own album, Brodie also wrote and produced songs for various other artists such as "Sweet Isabel" recorded by Enrique Iglesias for his (Interscope Records) Release entitled "Insomniac". Shortly after placing Sweet Isabel with Enrique, Martin Kierszenbaum (President of Cherrytree/Interscope Records) signed Brodie to a song/production deal to the label. Quickly following, Brodie signed a publishing deal with (Warner Chappell Music Publishing). Since that time Brodie has written and produced several tracks for various artists.

Currently 100% of Brodie's attention is on his country music endeavor. On his debut album "Born American", Brodie teamed up with guitarist/producer/ songwriter "Adam Shoenfeld" (Jason Aldean, Tim Mcgraw, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Jake Owen, Big and Rich, Florida Georgia Line and many more..) to co-produce and play on the album along with several  top players,including working with one great engineer "Aaron Chmielewski" in Nashville. In addition to gearing up promotion for his "Debut Album" - Brodie's "high octane show" has been touring the Western States.

The Seger signature sound represents the honest and best of what rock and roll can be. One of Michigan’s finest, Seger soaked up the muscular rock and roll and seductive soul for which Detroit remains famous and defines a musical voice for the American heartland.

There isn’t any music more classic or Americana than that of San Francisco’s own Creedence Clearwater Revival. Cranking out hit after hit, their southern rock style sensibility made them possibly the most popular band in America with chart topping success and CCR’s music is still a staple of US radio today. CCsegeR captures the sound and recreates what the music was all about leaving you dancing and singing along to every song.
