Buckethead is the masked, inverted KFC bucket wearing, &quot;mutant guitar virtuoso&quot; that stunned audiences during Primus&#39;s set at OzzFest &#39;99, toured the world with Praxis and GR2, and graced many a movie soundtrack/score. His major label debut as a member of the avant-funk outfit Praxis in 1992 opened ears and minds to his unique character and musical stylings. He has since released several solo albums (under his name and Death Cube K) and participated in many group settings (most notably the Deli Creeps, Praxis, Zillatron, Giant Robot, Giant Robot 2 and Cobra Strike) and performed/recorded numerous collaborations with other adventurous musicians and artists.<br /><br />

    <title>Aug 10, 2008: Music at the Mission/Cabrillo Festival/Maestra Alsop at Mission San Juan Bautista</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Four composers new to the Festival, each with voices rooted in cultures far from our own, will be honored in the storied setting of the Old Mission sanctuary on a program aptly titled To the New World. <br /><br />
Born in Taiwan, Chiayu will join audiences first for the World Premiere of Feng Nian Ji (Harvest Festival), which she has written expressly for the Festival. Based on the traditional harvest festival of Taiwan&#39;s largest aboriginal tribe, her music follows the progression of this dramatic ceremonial occasion. <br /><br />
Born in Belarus and now a U.S. citizen, Alla Borzova is well suited to articulate the immigrant experience. In To the New World which receives its U.S. Premiere today, Borzova tells of an imaginary ship that brings immigrants to the shores of America during the waves of immigration that began in the mid-19th-century. <br /><br />
MacArthur Fellow and Grammy Award-winning composer Osvaldo Golijov grew up in an Eastern European Jewish household in Argentina, surrounded by classical chamber music, Jewish liturgical and klezmer music, and the new tango of Astor Piazzolla. Last Round for string orchestra was written in memory of Piazzolla after a stroke killed him in 1992 at the peak of his creativity. With its white-hot passion and crisscrossed choreography of bows, Last Round is a sublimated tango dance. <br /><br />
Avner Dorman has quickly risen to become one of Israel&#39;s most successful and renowned composers. His Variations Without a Theme is described as &quot;sophisticated music that cleverly explores both Eastern and Western sonic worlds&quot; and &quot;calls to mind the bustle of an Arab bazaar.&quot; The composer joins audiences for its West Coast Premiere. <br /><br />
Maestra Marin Alsop, the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, Chiayu, Borzova, and Dorman, bring the 2008 Festival season to a resounding close in the splendor of Mission San Juan Bautista. <br /><br />
$35.<br />

    <title>Aug  9, 2008: Riffs &amp; Refrains/Cabrillo Festival/Maestra Alsop/Bharat Chandra at Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The definition of &quot;thrilling&quot;: being 19 years old and having Marin Alsop conduct the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra in your newest work, presented on the same program as your mentor John Adams! And so goes the life of Matthew Cmiel, a Bay Area composer/performer who grew up coming to the Cabrillo Festival and was invited by Alsop to write an orchestral work to receive its World Premiere tonight. In titling this concert opener, Cmiel quotes Alsop&#39;s own sage advice to him, Sneak in a Window-a direction to seize whatever openings you can to make your dreams come true. <br /><br />
Next, the Festival&#39;s own principal clarinetist Bharat Chandra, praised for his &quot;superb phrasing and creamy tone,&quot; takes center stage as soloist for the U.S. Premiere of Mark Anthony Turnage&#39;s Riffs and Refrains, a work said to &quot;exploit the full range and color of the instrument.&quot; <br /><br />
Then John Corigliano&#39;s The Mannheim Rocket takes us on an imaginary journey to the heavens and back atop an 18th century wedding-cake-rocket commandeered by the great Baron Von Munchausen. <br /><br />
The concert closes with the West Coast Premiere of John Adams&#39; new Doctor Atomic Symphony, a 25-minute, one-movement symphonic score adapted by the composer from his 2005 opera about the physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project. This is a piece considered by some critics to be &quot;a significant leap forward for Adams as a composer.&quot; The work includes passages from the overture, Oppenheimer&#39;s Baudelaire soliloquy, the electrical storm music, &quot;Batter my heart,&quot; and the culminating &quot;Countdown&quot; music. And according to the New York Times &quot;invites you to hear the elusive music-driving passages with pounding timpani, quizzically restrained lyrical flights, bursts of skittish fanfares-on its own terms, apart from its dramatic context.&quot; An evocative and explosive evening awaits! <br /><br />
$26-41.<br />

    <title>Aug  3, 2008: In the Blue Room with cellist Matt Haimovitz at Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium</title>
    <description><![CDATA[&quot;Matt Haimovitz may be the coolest cellist of our time,&quot; according to the Boston Herald. &quot;Classically trained but keenly attuned to the possibilities of electronica, composer Mason Bates is making waves in both the club scene and the orchestra world,&quot; Symphony magazine states. And so these two mavericks will come together with a common conception about how a classical recital can be quite an uncommon experience. Haimovitz will present a solo cello recital including works by Ned Rorem, Osvaldo Golijov, David Sanford, and Gilles Tremblay; while Mason Bates (well known in the trip-hop scene in the Bay Area and beyond as DJ Masonic) will create an electronica soundscape between pieces. Introduced during this Cabrillo Festival experience, two brilliant talents-Haimovitz and Bates-will come together for the very first time in an evening that promises to explode the audience&#39;s notion of a traditional cello recital. <br /><br />
$20-27.<br />

    <title>Aug  2, 2008: Triple Play/Maestra Marin Alsop/percussionist Evelyn Glennie at Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Three remarkable composers join the audience for three new works, each promising to hit it out of the park!<br /><br />
The program opens with the World Premiere of composer Dorothy Chang&#39;s Strange Air. A work inspired by the beauty and intensity of the Pacific Northwest&#39;s natural environment, it was commissioned by Festival patron Russ Irwin as the first project of the Women&#39;s Philharmonic Commissioning Initiative of Meet The Composer. <br /><br />
Mason Bates returns to the Festival to once again perform on electronica with the orchestra in a work titled Liquid Interface. Bates became consumed with the idea of water as the influence of a musical endeavor when he experienced living on Berlin&#39;s enormous Lake Wannsee. &quot;Over the course of barely two months, I watched this huge body of water transform from an ice sheet thick enough to support sausage vendors, to a refreshing swimming destination heavy with humidity.&quot; Liquid Interface begins with glaciers and moves through all the forms of water, inhabiting an increasingly hotter world in each of its four progressive movements. The work is dedicated by Bates to his mentor and friend, John Corigliano. <br /><br />
So how appropo that Academy, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Corigliano should be present for Bates&#39; West Coast Premiere, as well as the West Coast Premiere of his own Conjurer, a percussion concerto featuring soloist Dame Evelyn Glennie. A work for string orchestra and percussionist, Corigliano&#39;s Conjurer is in three movements, each restricted to a particular type of percussion: wood, metal, and skin. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review said of the Pittsburgh Symphony&#39;s premiere, &quot;[Conjurer] proved to be one blessed by the full dimension performance by soloist Dame Evelyn Glennie, conductor Marin Alsop and the orchestra.&quot; <br /><br />
A Talkback Session with Marin Alsop, guest artists, and composers follows the concert. <br /><br />
$29-44.<br />

    <title>Aug  1, 2008: Cabrillo Festival Opening Night with Maestra Alsop and Matt Haimovitz at Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Opening Night of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, with Maestra Marin Alsop and the acclaimed Festival Orchestra. Composer Stephen McNeff of the U.K. will be in the audience for the U.S. Premiere of Sinfonia, a fast-paced concert opener commissioned and premiered by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Marin Alsop. Twenty-eight year old composer Eric Lindsay will return to his hometown of Santa Cruz for the World Premiere performance of his newly revised Darkness Made Visible.<br /><br />
Renowned cellist Matt Haimovitz has become a legend in the music world for pushing beyond conventions-be it performances in surprising venues or collaborations with unexpected partners around unpredicted genres. For his Festival debut, he&#39;ll perform in composer David Sanford&#39;s Scherzo Grosso, a &quot;classical-funk-jazz-bebop-hip-hopping&quot; work originally composed for cello and big band, and then rescored for full orchestra. The evening ends with a Festival milestone: the World Premiere performance of the third in a series of recent Festival commissions, Pulitzer-prize winner Christopher Rouse&#39;s Concerto for Orchestra. Among the most respected composers of his generation, Rouse is one of Marin Alsop&#39;s favorites. <br /><br />
(The 2008 opening night begins with an outdoor Pre-Concert Talk by Marin Alsop and a special ticketed dinner served alfresco at the Civic Auditorium. Reservations required.) <br /><br />
$26-41.<br />

    <title>Sep 20, 2008: Enrique Iglesias and Aventura at American Airlines Arena</title>
    <description><![CDATA[You would think that Enrique Iglesias has nothing left to prove. After all, the Madrid-born, Miami-raised singer has sold 40 million albums in little over a decade, becoming one of the most successful artists in the history of popular music. Then again, Enrique is not your average pop star. Consider this: the singer has spent the past three years crafting his latest album. Three years of non-stop traveling, writing, recording, pressing the ’delete’ button, only to begin all over again until he’s 100% sure that his vision is perfectly realized. Now, it finally has.

About Aventurea: It may certainly be said that Aventura “Broke the Rules” – in almost every way! They are the first “Bachata-boy band,” the first band to fuse the essence of bachata with R &amp; B and hip hop and other traditional American music styles, the first band to perform in English, Spanish and “Spanglish.” Aventura is also the first bachata group to feature songs that address serious life situations and to delight fans in the process.

She proved a sensation at the &#39;John Lennon Northern Lights Festival&#39; in Scotland: &quot;Canadian angel Alison Crowe gave one of the weekend&#39;s most magical moments,&quot; says The Scotsman, Scotland&#39;s national newspaper.<br /><br />
Festival Director Mike Merritt describes Crowe as &quot;awesome&quot; and &quot;spine-tingling&quot;, noting her performance in the Highlands &quot;put hairs on the back of your neck! She brought the house down.&quot;<br /><br />
&quot;Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with. She is from Vancouver Island in Canada, descended from Scottish, Irish and Manx stock. She&#39;s exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that&#39;s just what she&#39;s doing,&quot; says London&#39;s &#39;Record of the Day&#39;.<br /><br />
Since 2003 Crowe has released six critically and commercially successful CD albums. Her songs and music videos online enjoy an audience numbering in the millions. Grassroots touring each year across Canada and Europe has earned a reputation for exciting live shows that stir together original songs with much-loved interpretations from the popular songbook in an organic blend of rock, jazz, folk, Broadway, gospel and soul. It&#39;s a joyous sound that one music critic describes as &#39;Elton John meets Edith Piaf&#39;.<br /><br />
&quot;Ever wonder what it would have been like to listen to a gifted singer/songwriter from Saskatchewan in a small, intimate hall before she became Joni Mitchell? Don&#39;t fret the missed opportunity. There&#39;s no need to turn back the clock. Check out Allison Crowe,&quot; ~ The Record (Canada)<br /><br />
&quot;Treat yourself to one of the mightiest talents on the singer-songwriter scene today.&quot; ~ Bob Muller, JoniMitchell.com (USA)<br /><br />
&quot;Her version of &#39;I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)&#39; would give Aretha Franklin goose-bumps.&quot; ~ Robert Moyes, Boulevard (Canada)<br /><br />
&quot;The most honest, heartfelt, and directly intimate concert in my entire life.&quot; ~ Ross Hocker, WGTE/NPR Radio (USA)<br /><br />

    <title>Sep 13, 2008: KAWEH Live  CD/DVD Release Concert at Illusions Super Club</title>
    <description><![CDATA[KAWEH - LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO CD/DVD COMBO RELEASE<br />
The long anticipated live album with an international all star line up of musicians and dancers has come to fruition with an added live multi camera DVD.<br /><br />
Fans of all walks of life, at every show ask, &quot;what album is that song on?&quot;  &quot;When will it be released?&quot; Songs like &quot;Marina&quot; by Rocco Granata, &quot;Parla Piu Piano&quot; (from the movie &quot;Godfather&quot; by Nino Rotta), Cumbanchero (Rafael Hernandez) and Cancion del Mariachi (from the movie &quot;Desperado&quot; by Cesar Rosas) have long been anticipated. <br /><br />
It has been seven years and four albums since Kaweh released a vocal track. In this live release Kaweh sings in Spanish and Italian and he captivates the audience with his fast rasgueado, his combination of picado and western picking and his sweet melodies, which people whistle and hum after the concert.<br /><br />
Internationally acclaimed Belly Dancer &quot;Sandra&quot; and Israely educator percussionist Dror Sinai mesmerize the audience with a one of a kind performance as KAWEH opens up the concert with &quot;Persia&quot; from the &quot;Play Spanish&quot; album. Sandra and Dror return mid set to give yet another powerful mystifying performance on the songs &quot;Sahhra&quot; and &quot;Play Spanish&quot; that leave the audience chanting.<br /><br />
The international all star line up of musicians include MACSA Latino Hall of Fame nominee, congero, Edgardo Cambon from Uruguay who gives a fiery performance on &quot;Cumbanchero&quot; and vocalist/guitarist Kenia Rodriguez from Havana Cuba who sings the group&#39;s new vocal track &quot;Guajira&quot;. <br /><br />
Drummer/percussionist Louie Flores Jr. from Mexico and bassist Mark Kraft from Morgan Hill, CA together with Kaweh celebrate their 5th year performing together. Their tight and diverse rhythms can best be described as Rumba Flamenca, Mediterranean &amp; Latin.<br /><br />
Join the full group and various special guest Flamenco dancers at Illusions in Palo Alto on Saturday September 13 at 9:00PM as they release this exciting long awaited album. <br /><br />
$18 General admission, $25 reserve seating, $60 VIP Seating + Appetizers.<br />

    <title>Aug 26, 2008: Sondre Lerche at Great American Music Hall</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Tickets: On Sale Sunday, June 22<br />
$21 General Admission<br /><br />
On Phantom Punch Sondre Lerche &amp; The Faces Down deliver music brimming over with unrestrained youthful energy. 11 powerful tracks, several recorded live in only one take, don&#39;t forsake Lerche&#39;s well renowned melodic gifts, but its concise solos and vigorous ensemble playing show us a band at the top of their game. “These songs are cut to the bone, not a second longer than they have to be,” Lerche explains.  “And I didn&#39;t want to be subtle this time around, I wanted every song to jump out of the speakers – punchy, concise pop songs, played with restless spirit.”<br /><br />
“I toured with Elvis Costello last year,” Lerche recalls. “The way he interacted with his band made me start writing songs with my band in mind. Duper Sessions was about the swing, but Phantom Punch is about capturing the physical energy of four musicians playing together in a room, and the joy of music”<br /><br />
Phantom Punch is sparked by Lerche&#39;s initial musical exposure, paying tribute to a wide range of sounds anywhere from 80s pop to Brazilian music. There are sharp edgy rockers like “Face The Blood” and “The Tape;” bright melodic pop tunes like “Say It All” and “She&#39;s Fantastic;” the psychotic disco-waltz of the addictive title track, the acoustic introspection of “Tragic Mirror” and “John, Let Me Go”, a surrealistic tune with a quirky yet infectious bossa nova rhythm.<br /><br />
Producer Tony Hoffer (Beck, Belle &amp; Sebastian, Phoenix, Supergrass, Marianne Faithful) was chosen by Sondre to get a brighter more aggressive sound. “They&#39;ve been with me for over six years now so we&#39;re a fairly dynamic group,” Lerche says of his Faces Down trio - guitarist Kato Ådland, drummer Ole Ludvig Krüger and bass man Morten Skage. “Hoffer helped us get that intensity on tape. We tried to do a song a day, with me singing live on every take, just like in concert, searching for that one special take.”<br />

The Police Announce Final Concert of their Reunion Tour to be Held at Madison Square Garden Aug. 7 <br /><br />
Tickets Only Available Through New York Public Television Stations <br /><br />
Concert Set to Be Biggest Fundraising Event in History of Public Television <br /><br />
Tickets Became Available To the Public Beginning June 14 on Thirteen, WLIW21 and ThirteenHD <br /><br />
Kicks Off &quot;Public Television Rocks!&quot; - New Initiative from Thirteen and WLIW21 to Bring Excitement to Public Television Nationwide <br /><br />
The Police, in conjunction with New York public television stations Thirteen/WNET and WLIW21, have announced that after fourteen months of a record-breaking tour, their much anticipated final concert, will take place on Thursday, August 7, 2008, at Madison Square Garden, featuring special guests the B-52s. In a groundbreaking partnership, tickets to the concert will only be available through a pledge to Thirteen/WNET and/or WLIW21. The concert is expected to be the largest single fundraising event in the history of public television. <br /><br />
Tickets to the final Police concert will be available in pairs to supporters of Thirteen and WLIW21 as thank-you gifts for contributions at various gift levels ($750, $500, $350, $150) on Saturday, June 14. The stations will celebrate The Police with a historical look at Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, featuring classic concert footage and interviews. This will air simultaneously on Thirteen, WLIW21, and Thirteen HD, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Later that same evening, WLIW21 will rebroadcast at 9 p.m. <br /><br />
A limited, once-in-a-lifetime experience including VIP access to the band&#39;s sound check for their final concert, dinner for two and a special souvenir gift is available at the $5,000 contribution level. There are also a limited number of V.I.P. Seats available at the $2,000 level that includes prime seating and a private pre- show reception. Ticketmaster will oversee ticket fulfillments, whether viewers pledge online or via phone, and in the spirit of the event, they will donate their service charge to the stations. Madison Square Garden is also pleased to donate a portion of their fees to benefit the invaluable and rich efforts of public television. <br /><br />
The Police, who kicked off their first American tour in 1978 at NYC&#39;s legendary CBGB&#39;s, have come full circle with the decision to perform the final show of their reunion tour in the City as a benefit for New York Public Television. <br /><br />
&quot;We are honored to partner with public television and have a deep respect for their commitment to arts and culture,&quot; said The Police at a May 6th press conference with New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, where the band announced their own pledge to the city of $1 million towards the Mayor&#39;s MillionTrees initiative to plant 10,000 new trees and help reforest 2,000 acres of New York City. <br /><br />
The band&#39;s partnership with public television kicks off &quot;Public Television Rocks!&quot; -- a new campaign initiated by Thirteen and WLIW21 that will combine events and programming to expand public television&#39;s appeal to a wider audience and will become available to public television stations across the country for their own fundraising efforts. <br /><br />
&quot;This historic concert event will benefit Thirteen and WLIW21 in general but, more specifically, enhance the arts and culture programming that these two stations provide to New York and America,&quot; says Neal Shapiro, President and CEO of the Educational Broadcasting Corporation, the licensee of Thirteen/WNET and WLIW21. &quot;This is an exciting kick-off to the Public Television Rocks! campaign,&quot; which will help public television &quot;engage with a new generation of audience and hopefully become a new model for future fundraising.&quot; <br /><br />
Beginning June 8th, Thirteen and WLIW21 launched a microsite for &quot;Public Television Rocks!&quot; at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.publictelevisionrocks.org">http://www.publictelevisionrocks.org</a> with sneak-peek interview footage, webisodes and information about the August 7th final Police concert. The site will be accessible directly or through links at Thirteen.org and WLIW.org.<br />

    <title>Aug 10, 2008: Kenny Loggins to Perform in Catalina&#39;s Legendary Ballroom at Avalon Casino Ballroom</title>
    <description><![CDATA[In a creative journey that&#39;s encompassed over three decades of hit singles and more than twelve albums exceeding platinum status, Kenny Loggins has found his way Back to Avalon for the very first time...Avalon, Santa Catalina Island.<br /><br />
On Sunday, August 10, 2008, Kenny Loggins and his band will be performing for the first time in the legendary Casino Ballroom, a 1929 Art Deco masterpiece that sits on the edge of beautiful Avalon Bay on Santa Catalina Island.<br /><br />
Raised in Southern California, Kenny has followed his musical path up and down the West Coast beginning in the 1970&#39;s.  Originally a part of the duo Loggins and Messina, he has continued to perform and record as a solo artist and has written hits for many other artists.<br /><br />
Highlights throughout his career include Danny&#39;s Song, A Love Song, Celebrate Me Home and another signature song, Whenever I Call You &#39;Friend&#39;, a duet with Stevie Nicks.  Throughout the &#39;80&#39;s and &#39;90&#39;s, Kenny has also reigned as one of the most successful movie theme song composers of his era, with massive hits including I&#39;m Alright (Caddyshack), Danger Zone (Top Gun), Nobody&#39;s Fool (Caddyshack II), the Oscar\u0017nominated Footloose (Footloose) and For The First Time (One Fine Day).<br /><br />
On his latest album, 2007&#39;s How About Now, the two-time Grammy Award winning superstar comes home to the soulful, roots-centric singer-songwriter tradition that first made him a household name.  Through his music we can enjoy the ongoing flow of life with loved ones of all ages -- as expressed by one of contemporary music&#39;s most emotionally perceptive singer-songwriters.  Kenny&#39;s music is an experience to be celebrated on any and every occasion.<br /><br />
All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges. <br /><br />

The Hipwaders are a showcase for the kid-friendly songwriting of Tito Uquillas.  In 2005,  the band received a Parent&#39;s Choice Award for their first album, &quot;The Smile Project&quot;.  The Hipwaders&#39; official self-titled debut album also won a Parents&#39; Choice Award in 2006, and the band was nominated by XM Satellite Radio as one of the best new kid&#39;s&#39; music acts for 2005.<br /><br />
In 2007, The Hipwaders released the album, &quot;Educated Kid&quot;, and performed at the Lollapalooza Festival, in Chicago.

The title track went to #1 on the XMKids Radio and the band was invited to perform live at XM Satellite Studios.<br /><br />
The band continues to perform their &quot;Hip Music for Kids&quot; and families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and have had their music heard on PBS, Discovery Health, MTV, Bravo, Superstation, TLC and The Travel Channel. <br /><br />
&quot;The Hipwaders extol the virtues of reading, geometry, and the Dewey Decimal System, but their danceable New Wave-ish pop and lighthearted lyrics keep their messages fun&quot; - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY<br /><br />
&quot;...brilliantly fun and surprisingly hip songs extolling the touchstones of childlike glee...&quot; - SF BAY TIMES<br /><br />
&quot;...fresh, infectious and insanely danceable...sound(ing) like a cross between the Beatles and Devo&quot; - PARENTMAP.COM<br /><br />
