Carly Simon to Finally Play Europe, Manilow Resigns with Arista, more
-
Artist:
Carly Simon has never been one to play to the masses, especially when it includes long plane flights over large bodies of water. The singer suffers both stage freight and fear of flying, so Europe has always been out of the question.
Simon told Reuters on Thursday that she's putting that behind her and will play a tour of small venues in Europe starting in January. She told reporters "I like to play small places, because I'm much better in an intimate setting than I am in a large hall where I can't see everybody. I really like to see the people that I'm singing to."
Also look for her on everything from the Today Show and Good Morning America to David Letterman and the Colbert Report promoting her new album Never Been Gone. The LP will be out October 27.
Barry Manilow has resigned with Arista Records and will release The Greatest Love Songs of All Time in January for the Valentine's Day shopping season. The singer also has In the Swing of Christmas coming next Tuesday and will end his five-year run at the Las Vegas Hilton on December 30.
Manilow has been with Arista most of his career except for releasing his first two albums initially on Bell and a five year period from 2000 to 2005 after Clive Davis was removed from the label.
Donovan has told Bang Showbiz that he would like to collaborate with Lily Allen along with taking her along on tour. The singer/songwriter said "Lily Allen I like, yeah sure, all the young boys and girls that are coming up with their own songs. Singer songwriters I love. It would be great to play live with her."
Aerosmith is back. They will be playing a private corporate concert next week for Oracle in San Francisco. The group has been down since Steven Tyler took a spill off off a stage two months ago.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex in New York City will be free on October 9 and 10 as a tribute to what would have been John Lennon's 69th birthday. Included in the Annex is a Lennon exhibit, put together with the cooperation of Yoko Ono, which includes rare artifacts and New York based items related to Lennon.
Steve Ferguson, one of the founding members of NRBQ, passed away Wednesday after a long battle with cancer at the age of 60. Ferguson was with the group for their first two albums, NRBQ and Boppin' the Blues, before going off to other projects.
Michael Martin Murphey has signed a multi-album deal with Rural Rhythm Records and plans to release Buckaroo Blue Grass 2 in February. Included on the new album is a remake of his hit Wildfire.
John Drake of Harmonix talked about why it may take time to get new downloadable content for the Beatles: Rock Band game. "Every time we do one song, it’s not like Rock Band where we wait for the masters to come in and just author them… its like, send people to Abbey Road, use the original tape, separate them out… it costs thousands of dollars. We’re waiting to see how things sell. We’re waiting to see how the albums do. If they sell well, we’ll have a lot more content."
Finally, here's the cover for the upcoming Paul McCartney live album Good Evening New York City.
