He went on to not only play\, but also book such soon-to-be major label artists as Colbie Caillat\, Sara Bareilles\, OneRepublic and Tyrone Wells. Jay then began his own touring schedule that included up to 200 dates a year. Along the way\, Nash developed a following\, putting out a series of indie releases. "Soul soothing music that will calm your inner beast even in bumper to bumper traffic. Jay's music conjures up similarities somewhere between John Mayer\, Johnny Cash\, Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson." - Best Music Live. Chicago based indie\, pop\, rock singer/songwriter Dick Prall comes to his easygoing – and sometimes goofy – manner quite naturally. Prall has said that he relishes the very act of singing. "This guy doesn't toss off underground noise as art nor does he play the kind of mindless twenty-first century synth pop dribble that has become so popular with the mindless masses. Instead\, Dick writes and records smart\, pensive\, articulate pop that recalls some of the truly great artists from decades past." - Babysue / Lmnop.com.

"The unsigned trio (Elizabeth & The Catapult) has built a loyal fanbase via jazzy\, buoyant pop songs and won't be flying under the radar for long." - Village Voice.

As with each series\, Page begins every collection with a concept derived from our world today\, but consciously moves away from any strict linear narrative. Page infuses each of his works with both serious issues and humor in the execution\, and although he begins with a specific concept\, there is always intriguing mystery. ThankYouGoodbye is also the last art exhibit at the current location of Varnish Fine Art. ThankYouGoodbye is a cheery\, blameless epitaph for our planet and ecosystem as we know it. Michael Page depicts global transformations rich in evolving life migrating with purpose into a possible new planetary age. Each painting in the series addresses ecological upheaval without political bent\, revealing new earthly possibilities on a massive scale transformed far beyond the cause. Large numbers of evolved\, crawling undersea plants\, intermixing of tropical and arctic seas\, ocean floors thrust skyward\, and rays from a new horizon are part of our possible future from the vast imagination of an artist happy to have been there first. Michael Page is one of the 200+ artists whom Varnish Fine Art has been proud to exhibit since opening in April 2003. A San Francisco agency\, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA)\, is eliminating at least 33 small\, local businesses\, including Varnish Fine Art\, and numerous residences in order to demolish all properties and later resell land to fund their project. The TJPA is forcing Varnish\, among the first tenants and years before the end of the lease\, to vacate its nearly 100 year old building for demolition. This gallery and wine bar will have to vacate 77 Natoma Street\, but the business’ owners hope to re-establish Varnish Fine Art at a new location soon. Varnish Fine Art is a 21+ only venue.

At first\, the friend was aghast. “I thought\, ‘Who the hell has the audacity to sound this much like the Gin Blossoms?” he told Wilson. Indeed\, the Gin Blossoms' inventive\, instantly appealing smart pop has proven so influential that Wilson's friend can be forgiven for initially thinking that the song might be by one of the band's many imitators. He might also be forgiven for not realizing that after a difficult breakup\, a stirring reunion and a few years of playing live shows together\, the Gin Blossoms had completed Major Lodge Victory\, a new album in stores August 8\, that is both long-awaited and well worth the wait. Accept no substitutes: the Gin Blossoms are back. “We couldn't have learned how to make it work for all of us and still be a band after eighteen years without a lot of blood and history behind us\,” Wilson explains. “But we have a unique sound\, and that's rare. To hear that with new material is really satisfying - and a relief!” The twelve songs on Major Lodge Victory deliver that same signature blend of melody\, mystery and poignancy that Gin Blossoms fans have come to love -- from the band's breakthrough album\, New Miserable Experience through to its powerful follow-up Congratulations\, I'm Sorry and such enduring and memorable songs as “Hey Jealousy\,” “Allison Road\,” “Follow You Down” and “Til I Hear It From You.” Since Wilson\, guitarists Jesse Valenzuela and Scott Johnson and bassist Bill Leen reunited as the Gin Blossoms in 2002\, the idea of recording new songs was something the group thought about but didn't want to force. “I wanted it to happen organically\,” Valenzuela says. “And it did.” Successful tour dates demonstrated that the many fans who cherished New Miserable Experience (which has sold more than four million copies in the U.S.) and Congratulations\, I'm Sorry (which has sold more than one million) were still eager to hear more from the band. So were their younger brothers and sisters. “I didn't even know if we could get back together\,” Leen says. “I didn't know we'd have a fan base. I think it helped that our songs never left the radio.” Truly\, on the radio it was as if the Gin Blossoms had never left\, even as all the band's members moved on to other projects. And getting back together proved satisfying. “A lot of fans came up to us and said\, ‘I loved you guys for so long\, and I was so bummed when you broke up and I never got to hear you play. I'm so glad you're back\,'” Johnson says. “That was gratifying. Now I respond by saying\, ‘You're going to hear us a lot more!” To record Major Lodge Victory\, the band members began working in their native state of Arizona\, but ended up returning to Ardent Studios in Memphis\, where they had made their previous two albums. “It felt like we were going home\,” Wilson says. Drummer Scott Kusmirek\, who had played with the band for a time after it reunited\, joined the group in the studio. Meanwhile\, Valenzuela had been busy writing songs. “I wrote a bunch\, probably around thirty\,” he says\, laughing\, “though there are some types of songs the Gin Blossoms won't do. They're not much for dirges. Not too many blues references either.” “We are addicted to fast tempos\,” Leen admits. Hence the irresistibly catchy “Learning the Hard Way\,” which Valenzuela wrote. “That's a classic Gin Blossoms song\,” Wilson says\, evoking the band's Tempe\, Arizona club roots. Valenzuela also wrote the soaring ballad “Someday Soon.” “I was hesitant to bring that one to the Blossoms\,” he says. “I didn't know if they'd want to do something at that tempo. But I'm glad we did it. It came out really nice.” Wilson brought in the energetic rocker “Come On Hard\,” while the two men collaborated on “The End of the World\,” with its lush choruses and Beatles-style harmonies. The fact is that very little on Major Lodge Victory will surprise fans\, except in the way that great pop music always surprises listeners - by taking familiar elements and making them sound thrillingly new. “I felt it was important to stick to what we do best\,” says Johnson. “We've changed\, obviously. We're a bit older. In the past\, we were young and naive\, and\, instead of dealing with our problems\, we made the classic stupid move and broke up.” “Now we don't take it for granted\,” he continues. “I'm very proud of the Gin Blossoms and our sound and our style of rock & roll. I'm excited about bringing that to the world again.” this will Sting The band has been together since 2003 performing a variety of classic rock and original songs. In early 2008 they started performing a “tribute to Sting” set\, which was so well received that the band decided to form an entire show around it. Thus the new band\, this will Sting\, was born. twS has been performing around Southern California and building and refining their Sting tunes to a high musical level\, and audiences have been marveling at how much like Sting the lead singer\, Michael Bradley\, sounds. The band is comprised of the following members: Michael Bradley: lead vocals Rachel Scott: background and lead vocals Ricky Katz: lead guitar Pat Wilkins: bass guitar\, vocals Thom Salisbury: keyboards\, vocals Richie Rich: drums The songs that Sting has written and performed over his illustrious career transcend all ages and musical tastes\, and this will Sting does an incredible job of paying tribute to this body of work.

The controversial radio host who is currently completing studies in Engineering Management\, has been welcomed by Simon Cowell\, who admits he won't put up with any "funny business"\, and not consider Shum's previous success in the comedy industry. "It's not a laughing matter"\, Cowell says\, "but if he can sell\, we'll have him". Executives of American Idol 2010 look forward to a huge and successful year. Jeremy Shum has not yet indicated which song he is going to sing\, but it is unlikely he will be doing the usual parody from his Miley5! Weekly show. Jonas Brothers\, Miley Cyrus\, Demi Lovato\, and Alyson Stoner songs seem to be apart of his consideration\, but we won't know until the auditions. more information about Jeremy Shum: http://www.jeremyshum.com/ http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_is_Jeremy_Shum http://www.jeremyshumofficial.com/ http://bestuff.com/stuff/jeremy-shum http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jeremy%20Shum http://www.openpr.com/news/54647/Jeremy-Shum-and-Miley-Cyrus-hit-supe... http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/740233 http://loadingvault.com/index.php?q=Jeremy+Shum http://demilovatofansite.wetpaint.com/page/JEREMY+SHUM+-+I+Propose+on... http://www.vimeo.com/1742322 http://www.rockyou.com/helpspace/myspace/Jeremy_shum http://jeremyshummusic.com/ http://www.6lyrics.com/music/jeremy_shum/lyrics/step_up_2_miley.aspx http://www.miley5.net/ http://www.myspace.com/miley5weekly/ URL;VALUE=URI:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2294644/ UID:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2294644/ DTSTAMP:20090329T220226 LAST-UPDATED:20090329T220226 CATEGORIES: ORGANIZER;CN=:X-ADDR:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/628825/ LOCATION;VENUE-UID="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/151/":Cow Palace @ Geneva Ave & Santos St\, San Francisco\, California 94134 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VVENUE X-VVENUE-INFO:http://evdb.com/docs/ical-venue/draft-norris-ical-venue.html NAME:Cow Palace ADDRESS:Geneva Ave & Santos St CITY:San Francisco REGION;X-ABBREV=:California COUNTRY;X-ABBREV=:United States POSTALCODE:94134 URL;X-LABEL=Venue Info:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/151/ END:VVENUE BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20250101T200000 DURATION:PT0S TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SUMMARY:Midnight Madness DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/228658/ ] URL;VALUE=URI:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/228658/ UID:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/228658/ DTSTAMP:20070803T210233 LAST-UPDATED:20070803T210233 CATEGORIES: ORGANIZER;CN=:X-ADDR:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/4/ LOCATION;VENUE-UID="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/78734/":Lehigh University - Stabler Arena @ 124 Goodman Dr\, Bethlehem\, Pennsylvania 18015 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VVENUE X-VVENUE-INFO:http://evdb.com/docs/ical-venue/draft-norris-ical-venue.html NAME:Lehigh University - Stabler Arena ADDRESS:124 Goodman Dr CITY:Bethlehem REGION;X-ABBREV=:Pennsylvania COUNTRY;X-ABBREV=:United States POSTALCODE:18015 URL;X-LABEL=Venue Info:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/78734/ END:VVENUE END:VCALENDAR
