Hawthorne Heights

Hawthorne Heights is a "post-hardcore" rock band from Dayton, Ohio. Amber Pacific is a pop punk band that was started in 2002 as a trio of high school juniors who performed locally in their Seattle hometown just for kicks. Now, they continue to write songs about loss, love and friendship...but from a more grounded, yet still youthful, perspective. The Secret Handshake is the musical project of Luis Dubuc. This self-taught musician writes everything for this band in his room - alone with just his Wurlitzer piano and Apple computer. With one listen you can tell this band stands out from other emo tinged electronic music - The Secret Handshake's got heart and soul. This Las Vegas quintet plays rock, punk, hardcore and emo.
Dave Brubeck
Where: Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
Date: 2008-04-16 20:00:00
Type:
With jazz's first million seller, 'Take Five' in 1959, Brubeck experimented with daring time signatures and a distinctive harmonic approach, launching what would be called "West Coast" or "cool" jazz. The legend was recently introduced to a whole new generation through his appearances on Ken Burns' documentary mini-series 'Jazz.' Lionel Frederick Cole (brother of Nat King Cole) has come out from the shadow cast by his famous brother, although he sounds a bit like Nat. His phrasing is closer to that of Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday than that of his brother and his timing swings a little more. His vocals--suave, elegant, formidable, and articulate--are among the most respected in jazz.
