Vince Gill
Where: Harrah's Rincon Sky Theater
Date: 2007-05-11 20:00:00

Vince Gill is the ambassador of country music. This isn't his official title, of course, but it's the role he occupies whether he's picking bluegrass with his boyhood heroes backstage at the Grand Ole Opry or trading jazz licks with the house band on The Late Show with David Letterman. Gill's prodigious talent, legendary compassion and quick wit have made him the face that country music likes to show the world. In an unmatched outpouring of virtuosity and energy, Vince Gill has created a 4-CD set of 43 new and original songs that MCA Records will release Oct. 17 under the title These Days. The collection is an artistic tour de force that displays Gill’s mastery of lyrics and musical styles, ranging from traditional country and bluegrass to jazz and rock. To accompany him on this ambitious undertaking, Gill turned both to artists he knew and had worked with before and to those whose music he admired at a distance. “I never try to fill up my records with famous people,” Gill says. “I try to fill them up with the most talented people I can find on the face of the earth.” By the time the project was completed, that group included Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Diana Krall, Rodney Crowell, Phil Everly, the Del McCoury Band, Emmylou Harris, John Anderson, Lee Ann Womack, Jenny Gill, Amy Grant, LeAnn Rimes, Gretchen Wilson, Guy Clark, Trisha Yearwood, Bekka Bramlett, Michael McDonald, steel-guitar master Buddy Emmons and many other musical standouts.

Lily Allen
Where: House of Blues
Date: 2007-09-06 19:00:00
Type:
British singer/songwriter Lily Allen exploded onto the UK pop scene after posting demo tracks on her MySpace page in early 2005. That started a chain reaction of publicity that included thousands of friends on MySpace, airplay on BBC Radio 1, and record deal later that year. First out the gate was the single 'LDN,' followed by 'Smile,' both cracking the UK Top Ten. Embracing such influences as Blondie, The Specials, Lee Dorsey, The Slits, Happy Mondays, Kate Bush and T-Rex, Allen's wise beyond her years songwriting crosses many musical boundaries. Despite a sharp tongue and some above-average tabloid moments, her debut album 'Alright, Still' has endeared her to fans and is making new ones with every gig.
