Las Vegas First Stop on Rodgers Solo Tour
LAS VEGAS - February 26, 2011 - Paul Rodgers, who toured and recorded with Queen from 2004 to 2008 and reunited Bad Company 2008 to 2010 is at long last returning to the US with his solo band for an exclusive concert at the Eastside Events Center at the Eastside Cannery Casino & Hotel April 2nd.
Playing with Queen was brilliant they interpreted my songs on an entirely new level. With Bad Company the musical fire (son of Led Zeppelins late drummer John) works were still there but creating and touring solo is where my heart is says Rodgers, a Grammy® nominated and Platinum selling artist.
Rodgers is playing an exclusive 10 dates in the United States this year and his first stop will be at the Eastside Events Center Saturday, April 2 at 9 p.m. This will be Rodgers first solo show pairing up with drummer Jason Bonham. Other band members include the familiar faces of guitarist Howard Leese (Heart) and Lynn Sorenson (bass).
Rodgers has chosen to rehearse for several days at Eastside Cannery Events Center for his upcoming UK tour prior to his show. His last UK solo tour culminated with the recording of his debut solo DVD Live in Glasgow which charted at #1 in Canada, #2 in Japan, #3 in the US, #4 in the UK and is now Certified Gold.
The singer/songwriter will be performing new songs from his up and coming solo CD, making it 31 album/CD releases since 1968, plus hits from his expansive back catalogue such as All Right Now- Free, Feel Like Makin Love- Bad Company and Satisfaction Guaranteed- The Firm.
Says Rodgers Developing a set-list is always a bit of a balancing act but in the US it will be Bad Company heavy for fans.

Free or Bad Company?
Out of all the guitarists hes played with, whos the best?
How on earth did he end up playing at the Labour Party Conference in 2002?
Send your questions to us by Tuesday, February 15 to [email protected]
The best questions, and Pauls answers will be published in a future edition of Uncut magazine.
Sunshine by Stephen Rodgers
Paul Rodgers has posted the following statement online regarding the passing of legendary guitarist Gary Moore:
GARY MOORE 1952-2011
"Gary was a friend and a truly great man. I respect that he played the game his way... no time for B.S. He was focused and passionate about music and was one of the best.
"The last time that I jammed with Gary, he came on as my special guest at London's Royal Albert Hall and proceeded to take it to another level... the place imploded!
When he played, he was a man on fire."If there hadn't been an ocean between us and Gary didn't mind flying, we absolutely would have created more together.
"We've lost a great British blues man and I am very, very sad ..........PAUL RODGERS.

PAUL RODGERS PLANS ON CONCENTRATING ON SOLO CAREER IN 2011 After focusing on Bad Company in 2010, Paul Rodgers will concentrate on his solo career in 2011.
He tells us that in addition to a U.K. tour in April, he's working on new songs with the hope of recording an album. Rodgers says,
"I want to make it completely an analog album. I just don't like the sound of [digital]... I want to make it like the old days." |
You just have to smile when you see something like this
ATTENTION SINGERS IN THE USA
I saw the potential immediately and have been following its growth ever since. It now appears it may end up being THE PLACE FOR UNDISCOVERED ARTISTS TO LAUNCH THEIR CAREER. In fact, The Voice of America, a highly anticipated singing competition program, scheduled to air on NBC this spring, has given special attention to TalentWatch. Check out the following link on their NBC affiliate page! http://www.nbcthevoice.com
A little info on TalentWatch Theres a few wrinkles that really make this site cool. Besides music videos, every artist uploads a personal video where they tell their story. You get to rate artists on their talent, entertainment AND likeability. In fact, music fans drive this site. Bottom line- every music artist has an equal chance to rise to the top. Every single one. And that's the way it should be. Now don't you think it's time WE decide who deserves to be discovered.... I do.
Back to The Voice of America. You can register to audition for the show at http://www.nbcthevoice.com
Theyll be checking the TalentWatch site as well.
