Night Ranger
Night Ranger truly epitomizes the sound of the 80s while at the same time transcending it. Since their reunion in 1996, they have brought their guitar-crunching, melodic brand of hard rock into the 21st century with unparalleled talent, energy and creativity.
Night Ranger’s legendary hits "Sister Christian", "(You Can Still) Rock in America" and "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" are songs that have each significantly impacted popular culture and expanded their ever-growing fanbase since the band’s inception thirty years ago. Night Ranger’s contributions are featured in multiple entertainment realms, including the Broadway musical “Rock of Ages” and hit videogame series "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero”. The band has also been recognized in such significant films and television shows as Boogie Nights and American Dad. To date, Night Ranger has sold 17 million units worldwide and boasts several platinum- and gold-certified albums. Night Ranger is Jack Blades (bass guitar, vocals), Kelly Keagy (drums, vocals), Brad Gillis (lead & rhythm guitars), Joel Hoekstra (lead & rhythm guitars) and Eric Levy (keyboards).

Lorrie Morgan
Lorrie Morgan was barely a teenager when she made her first major appearance in 1975 singing “Paper Roses” with her dad, country star George Morgan on the Grand Ole Opry. Since that fateful night, Lorrie has never looked back. Her whirlwind life and career has engrained in her a confident sense of self that shines through on her latest recordings like the late afternoon sun glows through the stained-glass windows of the Ryman Auditorium.
When her father passed away in 1975, Lorrie didn’t miss a beat in carrying on his legacy. She took to the road with her dad’s band and toured the country, keeping his memory alive and winning countless fans along the way. The music industry soon recognized that Lorrie’s star was on the rise and in 1984 she made history when at age twenty five she was the youngest person ever to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. It wasn’t long before she was offered a recording contract with RCA and later with sister label BNA, and a string of hits began. Timeless country standards like “Five Minutes”, “Something in Red”, “Watch Me” and “What Part of No” established Lorrie as a bona fide country star.
Lorrie Morgan’s trophy room is adorned with reminders of milestones that include 14 top ten hits, 12 albums, seven of which have gone gold and platinum and four Female Vocalist of the Year awards. Her duet partners have included the likes of Frank Sinatra and The Beach Boys. With all these accomplishments, it would be easy for her to rest on her laurels. But that’s just not Lorrie. Lorrie Morgan has a lot left to do. In addition to her new recording projects, she maintains a rigorous touring schedule is currently at work on several new business endeavors. She’s living up to her reputation as one of country music’s premiere singers, and she’ll be entertaining us all for a long time to come.

George Thorogood and The Destroyers
2120 South Michigan Avenue, home of Chicago’s Chess Records, may be the most important address in the bloodline of the blues and rock ‘n’ roll. That address – immortalized in the Rolling Stones’ like-named instrumental, recorded at an epochal session at Chess in June 1964 and included on the band’s album 12 X 5 – serves as the title to George Thorogood’s electrifying Capitol/EMI salute to the Chess label and its immortal artists.
Thorogood has been essaying the Chess repertoire since his 1977 debut album, which included songs by Elmore James and Bo Diddley that originated on the label. He has cut 18 Chess covers over the years. On 2120 South Michigan Avenue, he offers a full-length homage to the label that bred his style with interpretations of ten Chess classics.
Chess’ studio spawned timeless ‘50s and ‘60s recordings by Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and Howlin’ Wolf, which served as inspiration for the Stones and their blues-rocking brethren, and then lit a fire under their successors George Thorogood and the Destroyers. Over time, Chess’ catalog and artists became the sources of Thorogood’s higher education in music. “That was my school, the college that I had to learn my trade in,” he says. “I had to figure out how these people did these things.”
Through the entire project, Thorogood and the Destroyers attempted to put their own distinctive spin on the Chess material while maintaining fidelity to the originals’ attack. “When you do Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when you play Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, there’s no experimenting,” Thorogood explains. “That’s a religion, and you’ve gotta do it right.”
See George Thorogood and the Destroyers perform some hits from this latest album as well as classics like “Bad to the Bone”, “Move It On Over” and “I Drink Alone”.

Jimmie Vaughan
When Jimmie Vaughan says “I have the best job in the world,” he isn’t kidding. For more than four decades, the guitar-slinging Texan legend has been earning his living rockin’ the blues, and nothing makes the man happier.
Vaughan’s love affair with blues and rock ’n’ roll goes back to his childhood in Dallas. He began playing around the Lone Star State with a series of bands, most notably the Chessmen, who opened once for a hotshot new guitarist named Jimi Hendrix. Then, in 1974, Vaughan hooked up with vocalist and harmonica player Kim Wilson and the Fabulous Thunderbirds were born. In 1979, the band released their debut album and their fan base grew steadily from there. Even as rock music morphed around them—with trends such as punk and hip-hop making their grand arrivals—the Fab T-Birds stuck with the high-octane blues-rock formula that earned their music the tag “Blue Wave” in the media.
The T-Birds reached their peak of popularity with the 1986 release of Tuff Enuff, a classic of the genre that still sounds as monstrous today as it did nearly a quarter-century ago. Jimmie stayed with the group another four years after that, and his first move following his exit from the group was to cut an album with his kid brother, not a bad little guitar picker himself: Stevie Ray Vaughan. Family Style was a huge hit upon its release in the fall of 1990, but its success came with a huge price tag: Stevie Ray’s death in a helicopter crash just weeks after the album’s completion.
It took Jimmie a few years to come to grips with Stevie Ray’s untimely passing, and only then was he able to launch his own solo career in earnest. Strange Pleasure (1994), his solo debut, included Dr. John among its cast of players, working out on a set mostly comprised of original Vaughan compositions. The same formula was utilized for 1998’s Out There, while Do You Get the Blues? (2001) found Vaughan more fully embracing the rootsy down-home Texas blues sound he grew up with. It took nine years before Jimmie Vaughan returned with a new album, but Blues, Ballads and Favorites was welcomed by his old fans and countless new ones—the album was nominated for Best Traditional Blues Album at this year’s Grammy awards.
For Jimmie Vaughan music has always been about one thing: having a good ol’ time. “It’s 120% American and I just love it,” he says. “It’s fun.”
