Yes:
Rolling Stone recently raved that Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White of YES "sounded as majestic as ever" during their performance just last month at New York City's Hammersmith Ballroom, adding that the band's stand-in vocalist Benoit David was able to "expertly mimic the impossibly high-pitched vocals of original singer Jon Anderson." Now, that's some high praise. This may not be exactly the traditional YES line-up, "but it's close enough," raved Rolling Stone.

YES concerts have always been very special events, and this winter's "In the Present" tour, which began in November and December, and will resume February 5 and 6 for two shows in Mexico City before hitting a total of 16 U.S. cities in November and December, lives up to those expectations. Band members Howe, Squire and White, along with David and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman, son of YES' Rick Wakeman, will play selections from hit albums like Fragile, Close to the Edge, Tales from Topographic Oceans and 90125 along with audience favorites like "Roundabout," "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "I've Seen All Good People," some of the enduring classics that have made YES one of the most influential and groundbreaking groups in rock & roll.

Griffin House:

Up and coming singer/songwriter GRIFFIN HOUSE has announced a 6-week headlining tour staring January 15 in Boulder, CO. House, who released his sophomore album FLYING UPSIDE DOWN earlier this year, appeared on "etown" for the first time on November 24 alongside Sarah McLachlan and is currently on a Christmas themed tour as part of the acclaimed Nashville pop/rock collective Ten out of Tenn.

Last week, House released a new video for "The Guys That Says Goodbye," a track from Flying Upside Down that gained noticeable attention during his recent run of sellout U.S. tour dates. His live performance of the song's rhythmic chorus and heartfelt lyrics had audiences spontaneously and enthusiastically singing along (and many ladies swooning!). "The Guy That Says Goodbye" also caught the attention of late night TV; House performed it on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson a few months back.

State Radio:

Punk rock reggae trio STATE RADIO have announced an early 2009 US tour that kicks off on January 14 in Tucson, AZ and wraps on February 21 in Providence, RI. The socio-politically conscious band has been on the road since early 2008 supporting their sophomore studio album Year Of The Crow (Ruff Shod/February 08), which Metro NY described as "a biting collection of 13 tracks taking aim at, among other things, U.S. detention facilities in Guantanamo Bay and policies in South America, not to mention Halliburton and the current state of affairs in Darfur."
State Radio will play their last show of the year on December 26 at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, and are calling it an early "welcome to the neighborhood" party for President Elect Barack Obama.

Steve Winwood:
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Steve Winwood, recently named one of Rolling Stone magazine's "100 Greatest Singers of All Time," will ring in the New Year with a series of East Coast concert performances in January. Winwood's upcoming East Coast concert dates mark the first U.S. headline tour since 2007 for the legendary rock superstar, who last toured the states with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers in the summer of 2008.

Winwood is currently enjoying the success of his most recent album, Nine Lives, which entered the Billboard 200 at #12 last May, bringing the artist his highest chart debut, and best first week's sales, of the SoundScan era. Eric Clapton, Winwood's former bandmate in Blind Faith, rock's original "supergroup," lent his signature guitar work to "Dirty City," the album's first single, which held the #1 added single spot for three weeks in a row and peaked at the overall #2 spot on AAA Radio.

Slightly Stoopid:
Riding the wave of success with "2AM," their hit single currently on alt/rock radio charts across the country, Slightly Stoopid will kick off their Winter 2009 tour on February 5 in Tucson, Arizona. Providing support on this 13-date, southern U.S. trek will be the legendary bad boys of reggae music, Inner Circle. In addition to this southern run, Slightly Stoopid has been confirmed as one of the headliners at the Langerado Festival to be held at Bicentenial Park in Miami, Florida on March 6, 7 and 8. Stoopid's exact play date will be announced shortly, but the band will share the stage with artists such as Death Cab for Cutie, Snoop Dogg, Cold War Kids and Ryan Adams.

This first leg of Slightly Stoopid's 2009 tour dates will be in support of Stoopid's most recent CD, "Slightly Not Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid," which was released last July on the group's own newly formed label, Stoopid Records. Several of the CD's songs - "No Cocaine," "Sensimilla," "Circle House Blues," "False Rhythms," and "The Fruits" - were recorded in collaboration with the Inner Circle guys at their Circle House Studios in Miami, so fans should expect some serious on-stage jamming over the course of these dates.

Annuals:

Annuals just wrapped up an awesome, and hugely successful tour with Minus the Bear, and we're super excited to announce that new dates have been added to their 2009 headlining tour.
Support includes Jessica Lea Mayfield and friends What Laura Says, who are signed to Annuals' label, Terpsikhore. We're talking about two drum kits, six members, loads of instruments and performances packed with unmatchable energy. So if you haven't seen Annuals live yet, here's your chance.

The new album, Such Fun, embraces a vast landscape of musical richness, combining frontman Adam Baker's accomplished songcraft with an instrumental palate that is even more colorful than their debut album, Be He Me. Add in cover art that's a painting by Bob Ross and an amazing video for first song "Confessor" by Terry Gilliam's right-hand man Daniel Auber, and you've got yourself something pretty spectacular.

The Live Nation produced tour will feature special guests Hinder, Theory of a Deadman and The Last Vegas. The tour kicks off February 2nd in San Diego, CA with 29 shows throughout North America, including a date at Madison Square Garden, with the final stop in Portland, ME. Tickets are on sale now at www.livenation.com and www.motley.com.

"It's great to go back out on a tour like this where the bands are all about returning rock to the forefront of music today," says Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe. "On top of it, we get to introduce a new band who jumped the line to arenas through the Guitar Center: On Stage contest. Just like Ozzy gave us a chance and took us on tour at the start of our career, we're looking forward to taking The Last Vegas on the road and giving them the same opportunity."

Hinder front man Austin Winkler said, "Mötley Crüe is a massive influence on us, and an inspiration on so many levels for what we do! Mick even played on the title track for our new album. It will be an honor and privilege for us to tour with one of the greatest rock bands ever! And we can't wait to party our asses off with them!"

Femi Kuti:

Femi Kuti has confirmed a U.S. tour that will see the Afrobeat legend play venues from coast to coast in January 2009 in support of his new album Day by Day, his first studio recording in seven years.
Femi’s album is the first release from the new Downtown Records imprint Mercer Street Records. Femi launched back onto the public stage this fall when he was featured on emerging artist and label mate, Brett Dennen’s hit, “Make You Crazy.”
Not content to merely follow in the footsteps of his famous father, Fela Kuti, Femi continues to expand his musical palette with his latest studio release, Day By Day, a hybrid of Afro-pop, jazz and urban influences. Femi is world renowned as a gifted songwriter and performer who continues to push the boundaries of Afrobeat rather than resting on his legacy. He has toured America with alt-rock band Jane’s Addiction, sang on Rachid Taha’s Made In Medina album and reached out to the American hip-hop community connecting with artists such as Mos Def, D’Angelo, Nile Rodgers, Erykah Badu and the Roots.

Jimmy Eat World:

Jimmy Eat World will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its classic Clarity by playing the album in its entirety for 10 one-time-only shows beginning February 23 in New York City and concluding March 7 in the band's native Arizona.

Released in 1999 to virtually no fanfare, Clarity gradually became the single most influential record of a generation: A recent SPIN article polled members of 17 bands ranging from Fall Out Boy to Yellowcard, all of whom cited Jim Adkins' writing and performance on the record as a primary influence, while ALTERNATIVE PRESS noted "Clarity would later become one of the most beloved emo albums of the '90s." Ironically, it was Clarity's initial failure that put Jimmy Eat World on the path to their eventual success: Left to its own devices after being dropped by Capitol, the band built up a base via relentless touring which funded the recording of their 2001 breakthrough Bleed American, which went on to sell 1.5 million copies.
Reuben's Accomplice will support Feb. 23-Mar. 4. No Knife will support Mar. 5-7.

Pre-sale for the Clarity x 10 Tour will begin this Thursday, Nov. 13. For details, see JimmyEatWorld.com. General on sales begin Saturday Nov. 15, with the exception of San Francisco, which goes on sale Sunday Nov. 16, and Boston, which will go on sale at a later date to be announced.
