NEW YORK – Lighting a coheadline tour can, at times, be a tricky proposition, especially when one of the acts wants to build its show around a car wash theme, complete with a sawed-off Corvette on stage, while the other opts for a more romantic setting.

NASHVILLE – “I’m ready to get back out and feel the nights come alive,” Jason Aldean said when announcing this summer’s 34-city Rock N’ Roll Cowboy tour.

MIAMI – I enjoy the music of the language,” 17-time Grammy winner Sting said of Spanish. “It’s an emotional quality that it gives me.” That emotional quality was there for all to enjoy on the evening of Thursday, February 24, when the English-born legend performed his single “For Her Love” in Spanish as part of Univision’s […]
