Getting A New Band Started

By Danny Reade

Joining a band could be really a challenge for each musician or group of musicians that are planning to have a band. I am currently part of a jazz quartet named "jazzology" and the way I made this band was talking with some friend that often we have been practicing and rehearsing since several months ago.

I personally recommend that the best way you can start joining a band is firstly determining the kind of music you are able to do. If you don't have a clear vision of the type of music you are going to do it will be really difficult join a band.

Joining a band is something that requires of a leader who can have a clear vision of the past, the present (the things we currently have and the resources we have) and a vision of the future. This is basically the first thing you need before start calling people to be member of a band.

The second thing you need to start joining a band is looking for people that have passion for the music in the genre you want to make music. You should also determine if you are going to have commercial purpose or you just want joining a band for enjoy the music or only for practice your art and express what you are and the things you want.

I personally think that if you are planning that music is going to be your career, not your hobby, you are going to require a good advisory so that you band can last for a long time.

If you want to know more about this you only have to read about the story of those remarkable bands that are today legends as The Beatles and other important bands that are currently active in our days. - 18423

Kenny Chesney To play Charleston Concert

By Jane Stamp

Kenny Chesney is a country music superstar, although his first release, titled "In My Wildest Dreams", was released to lackluster sales in 1994 on independent label Capricorn Records. However, singles from the album proved that there was a fan base for Kenny's music, and his subsequent albums have proven this.

The success of Kenny's music is remarkable. Of the first thirteen albums he released, eleven were certified gold or higher by the RIAA. His debut may not have sold record numbers on Capricorn Records, but the independent label's release spurred two singles, "The Tin Man" and "Whatever It Takes" that garnered enough success to prove that Kenny had star potential. Capricorn Records decided to discontinue publishing country music later that year, but Kenny was destined for bigger things.

Today, Kenny Chesney has released more than thirty top ten country hits, and that includes seventeen that made it all the way to the number one spot. With four consecutive AMC Entertainer of the Year Awards under his belt and six CMA awards, there's no doubt he's a country music powerhouse. In 2007, his summer tour was the top grossing country music tour of the year.

During the 2007 summer touring season, his tour was the highest grossing country concert series of the year.

Making his way to Nashville, which is just north of his hometown and east of his collegiate home, Kenny Chesney worked the music scene in the famed Music City, looking to capture a piece of his dream of a career in music.

Kenny Chesney worked to land a record deal in Nashville and eventually signed with BMI and Opryland Music Group in 1992.Despite his youth, he'd already worked in front of audiences and been immersed in music enough that record producers saw his potential.

After venturing to Nashville when he graduated from college, he worked to get in front of music producers and publishers. In 1992, he achieved his first real success with a deal with Opryland Music Group and BMI. Despite his youth, Kenny's experience playing for live audiences no doubt showed his potential.

The 2009 tour includes a show on September 12 in Charleston, South Carolina, at the North Charleston Coliseum. This tour is one of the mega tours of the country music summer season with tour dates all across the United States and Canada.

This year's Kenny Chesney tour has been dubbed the Sun City Carnival Tour, in support of his most recent album, Lucky Old Sun, which was released in the fall of 2008. The album had already had a number one single by the time it debuted, titled "Everybody Wants to go to Heaven".

Despite the slow start to his career, he's made up for it with incredible success during the first two decades of releasing hit country music. He is truly one of country's modern music superstars, with two greatest hits albums already available. - 18423

Get Set For The Explosion Of Michael Jackson Books

By Jenna Landers

As with most true megastars, Michael Jackson has provided food and drink to authors and leading publishers the world over. In death too, this culture is set to continue, and indeed increase for many years to come, as a host of Michael Jackson books start appearing in bookstores.

For the millions of loyal supporters, UK publisher Harper Collins will become the biggest house to launch its effort. Delivered from concept to print in just 3 weeks, "Michael Jackson - Legend, Hero, Icon", is set to go straight to the top of the bestsellers as it hits UK markets Friday July 17.

With a subtitle of, "A tribute to the King of Pop", the tone of the book is reflective on the successes of Jackson's career as the best entertainer the world has ever witnessed. Mindful that many thousands of fans are still coming to terms with the loss; particularly with the timing just weeks before his "This Is It", tour, this is unsurprising.

Whilst Harper Collins pulled out all the stops to get the book to print, (hiring a freelance author to write 10, 000 words of new material in just 48 hours), it is not the first of new Michael Jackson books made available.

A book long in the making, "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson", was originally scheduled to go to print the day after the creator of the Moonwalk's death. It was delayed for a week as a mark of respect to the grieving family. Though respect did not seem to be much of an issue when the book was originally conceived and written; being rich in conjuncture and rumor.

The delay in printing, said to be out of a mark of respect to the Jackson family, also allowed Halperin to close his book more conclusively than even he could have imagined.

The first completely new book since his untimely death is most likely to be found in China. Appearing in stores from Saturday July 7, two writers worked tirelessly over a 48 hour period to deliver the copy.

Unlike Halperin's effort, "Moonwalk in Paradise" is the work of two dedicated Michael Jackson fans, and is clearly a celebration of his life. One of the authors, Jiang Xiaoyu, does admit it may contain a few errors however; pointing to the time constraints they worked under, and their personal approach to research.

These Michael Jackson books may well be the first to hit the shelves, but there will be more. Whilst the book industry has not been damaged as severely as other industries throughout this recession, this boost to sales will be a welcome shot in the arm. - 18423
