Sharleen Spiteri releases her debut solo album ‘Melody’. Best known for her role fronting multi-platinum selling guitarband Texas, Spiteri has a familiarity about her voice that has remained since she first appeared on the music scene. Taking influence from a spectrum that includes Nancy Sinatra, Johnny Cash and Motown, the Glaswegian’s music leaps into a new direction. Her vocal range is sharper than ever and is perfectly complimented by brass sections and dreamy, dramaticmusic. Singles include ‘All The Times I Cried’.
Melody has gotten raved reviews as most people would give this album 5 out of 5 stars.

Very different from Texas, but she found a great new style.
Swing is back with Michael Buble. Through his grandfather, Michael buble was introduced to the music of the swing ear. Swing has stuck with him ever since. The sounds of the Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform. With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands.
Later on while still a teen, Michael Buble won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster and signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records.
If you are into swing then you can’t miss Michael Buble when you comes to your town. Get your tickets today.
Byan Adams is a Canadian musician who has been performing as a solo artist since the late 1970s.
During the early to mid 1990s, he became one of the most successful musicians in the world. Hit singles like Summer Of 69, Can’t Stop This Thing We Started, Please Forgive Me and When You’re Gone all contributed to making him a rock superstar.
Famed for his energetic live performances, the Wakin’ up the World tour was one of the biggest stadium rock tours of all time. A talened songwriter, Bryan has been involved in the themes for hit movies including Robin Hood: Prince Of Theives and The Three Muskateers. He also recently wrote the score for the animated film Spirit: Stallion of The Cimarron.
Comedy Standup at its Finest. Lee Evans a comedy genius rose to fame in the 1990s in his home country of Avonmouth, Bristol, England, becoming noted for his loud, hot, sweaty, energetic on-stage performances, mastery of humorous voices, and very physical, observational alternative and brilliant comedy. His comedy routine is akin to a Norman Wisdom–style of slapstick comedy acting, and in many respects has taken on Wisdom’s role for a later generation.
His show is high energy and will definitely keep you in laughing from beginning to the end.
The Essential Leonard Cohen is arguably the greatest singer-songwriter of modern times. At his induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, he was recognized by Lou Reed as, “Without question one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater mystery and depth as time goes on.”
A celebrated and much lauded singer-songwriter, he first emerged as a major and influential talent in the early ’60s. Albums like Songs Of Leonard Cohen (1967), Songs Of Love And Hate (1970) and I’m Your Man (1990), right up to 1992’s The Future, 2001’s Ten New Songs and 2004’s Dear Heather are rightly considered classics. Uniquely for a revered musician, Cohen’s literary plaudits rival those for his music.
His songs have been famously covered by the great and the good, each version a fascinating attempt to move closer to Cohen’s enigmatic muse. From Judy Collins’ “Suzanne” to Jeff Buckley’s seminal rendition of “Hallelujah,” Cohen’s songs have travelled as far and wide as their author. U2, R.E.M., Sting, Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright and the late Johnny Cash are among other famous devotees. It is estimated that his songbook has been covered over 1,330 times by other recording artists.
