Originally founded by Don Gaspar Vargas, Manuel Mendoza and two violinists in the town of Tecalitlan, Mexico in 1897, this mariachi group has since starred in more than 200 movies, recorded dozens of albums of pasodobles, valses, bailables, polkas, and danzones, as well as collaborated with various artists including Juan Gabriel and Linda Ronstadt.

Today the group is composed of three trumpets, one harp, one vihuela, guitar, guitarron,  guitara and five violins.

Downing's latest project, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, a "musical trilogy" following his previous "audio novel" Lust, Love and Lies, is Downing's first independent release and will fittingly be delivered in a revived format of yesterday, the EP. So named for its Extended Play, the EP will represent three brilliant four-song releases that will be delivered over the course of a year.

As the name suggests, the first EP, Yesterday, on sale now, is the appetizer focusing on some of Will Downing's favorite re-makes of songs of yesterday. The listener will be treated to an absolute classic RandB set as Downing puts his stamp on The Delfonics' "La La Means I Love You," Smokey Robinson's "Ooh Baby Baby," Angela Bofill's "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" and the project's first single, the Atlantic Starr signature slow jam "Send For Me." In hand-picking these selections, Downing insightfully notes that "each song interprets love from a different point of view."

The main course, Today, will arrive around Valentine's Day 2012, and will showcase Will Downing's well earned status as the Prince of Sophisticated Soul. Dessert will be served in the form of the projected Summer 2012 release of Tomorrow, which will feature Downing venturing slightly outside of the box in which some might expect him to remain.

In 1991, Downing had his first breakout album A Dream Fulfilled, which showcased not only his fine baritone voice, but his excellent song styling's. He deftly handled such diverse songs as War's "The World Is A Ghetto" and Paul Davis's "I Go Crazy" and provided a stunning, definitive version of Angela Bofill's "I Try." Both the "I Try" single and the album hit the Urban top 25, and critical acclaim for the disc abounded. Downing has become a regular at the top of the contemporary jazz charts and released a number of solid albums, including his album of duets with saxophonist Gerald Albright, Pleasures of the Night.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2226.jpg Symphony X / Iced Earth with special guest Warbringer http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2211 The Gove of Anaheim http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2211 Tue, Feb 21 at City National Grove of Anaheim Symphony X / Iced Earth Symphony X / Iced Earth Tue, Feb 21 7:30 PM Fri, Nov 11 12:00 AM City National Grove of Anaheim
New Jersey's progressive metal juggernauts SYMPHONY X will be returning to North America, stopping at City National Grove of Anaheim on February 21, for a co-headlining tour with heavy metal stalwarts Iced Earth. Opening each night will be L.A. thrashers Warbringer.

SYMPHONY X guitarist Michael Romeo checks in from the band's current European tour: "We are very excited about the upcoming North American Tour with Iced Earth. We first met Jon and the guys a few years back and they were really cool. When the idea of a co-headline tour surfaced, we thought it would be awesome. The fans can expect a night of great music from both bands. We look forward to seeing you all real soon!"

SYMPHONY X's innovative mixture of heavy metal and progressive rock has made them a favored staple among prog metal fans for almost 20 years. Iconoclast, the band's eighth studio album, debuted at #76 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in the U.S. and at #105 on the Canadian Soundscan Top 200 chart in June.

"I'm excited to tour with SYMPHONY X," shares Iced Earth founder Jon Schaffer. "They're phenomenal musicians and very cool guys. This co-headliner tour will be a great experience for the fans. It is also way overdue for us to play a proper tour of North America. Get ready!"

Schaffer formed Iced Earth in Tampa, Florida, in 1984. Since then, he has released 10 studio albums, the newest being the highly-acclaimed Dystopia (October, 2011) which debuted at #67 on the Billboard Top 200 one live album, two compilations, three boxed sets, and several DVDs. Thanks to massive worldwide sales -- and rabidly loyal fans Iced Earth has earned a seat in the pantheon of America's most successful heavy metal bands.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2211.jpg Kathleen Madigan http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2193 The Gove of Anaheim http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2193 Fri, Feb 24 at City National Grove of Anaheim Kathleen Madigan Kathleen Madigan Fri, Feb 24 8:30 PM Fri, Oct 21 12:00 PM City National Grove of Anaheim Kathleen Madigan will make a stop on her nationwide "Gone Madigan" tour at City National Grove of Anaheim on Friday, February 24.

In her 22 year career, Kathleen Madigan has never been hotter.  Her new Showtime special, "Gone Madigan," is in constant rotation, and the DVD-CD of the special is at the top of the Amazon and iTunes charts.

Kathleen recently returned from her second Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's USO Holiday Tour of Iraq and Afghanistan where she shared the stage with Robin Williams, Lewis Black, Lance Armstrong, Kix Brooks and Admiral Mike Mullen who hosted the tour. 

She holds the record as the only comedian in the history of NBC's "Last Comic Standing" to go unchallenged by any other comedian--meaning no other comedian would say they were funnier than her.  Madigan was a finalist in season 2 of "Last Comic Standing" and a judge on season 5. "It was fun to judge it once, but never again. I just can't think of 2000 ways to tell someone they're not funny without turning into a full blown alcoholic."

Madigan has won the American Comedy Award for "Best Female Comedian" and the Phyllis Diller Award for "Best Female Comedian."  She has released four CDs and two hour long DVDs.

Born in St. Louis, she now lives in Los Angeles but spends, as she puts it, "an inordinate amounts of time," with her 6 siblings and parents who live in the Midwest where she hangs out on her farm and on a raft in a lake. After 22 years of 300 nights on the road, her goal remains to move to Ireland and drink Guinness while feeding her sheep herding dogs.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2193.jpg Adam Ant http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2214 The Gove of Anaheim http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2214 Sat, Feb 25 at City National Grove of Anaheim Adam Ant Adam Ant Sat, Feb 25 8:00 PM Fri, Nov 18 10:00 AM City National Grove of Anaheim http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2214.jpg 311 plus special guest DJ Trichrome http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2220 The Gove of Anaheim http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2220 Tue, Feb 28 at City National Grove of Anaheim 311 311 Tue, Feb 28 8:00 PM Fri, Dec 9 12:00 AM City National Grove of Anaheim http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2220.jpg Merle Haggard http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2228 The Gove of Anaheim http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2228 Wed, Feb 29 at City National Grove of Anaheim Merle Haggard Merle Haggard Wed, Feb 29 8:00 PM Fri, Jan 13 12:00 PM City National Grove of Anaheim Merle Haggard returns to City National Grove of Anaheim on February 29, hot off the heels of his latest Vanguard release, Working in Tennessee.

Working in Tennessee features a collection of self-penned Haggard riches, plus a couple of classics made famous by Johnny Cash, as well as a new version of Merle's stalwart "Working Man Blues" featuring Willie Nelson and his son Ben Haggard. The album is another in a long line of stellar discs filled with Haggard's honest and candid observations of the world in which we all live, as well as life on the road and at home with backing by his longtime band The Strangers, plus a number of veteran studio cohorts.

Whether fugitive, troubadour, misfit or crusader, he's explored each perspective with a critical acuity, a hard-won skill that's allowed him to score no less than 40 number one country hits. Immediately embraced by country fans, Haggard also earned the respect of his peers. He has won just about every music award imaginable, both as a performer and as a songwriter, and in 2010 he was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors in recognition for his lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts. His body of work easily places him beside Hank Williams as one of the most influential artists in country music.

Over a distinguished fifty year-plus career that's taken him from a drastically misspent criminal youth to solitary confinement in San Quentin to the Country Music Hall of Fame, Haggard has memorably portrayed, in song, myriad archetypal characters. After being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2008 and having part of his lung removed, Haggard shows no signs of the disease returning and continues to produce songs and perform live at the age of 74 with more energy and enthusiasm than many a younger man or woman. ]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2228.jpg OC Music Awards http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2237 The Gove of Anaheim http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2237 Sat, Mar 3 at City National Grove of Anaheim OC Music Awards OC Music Awards Sat, Mar 3 8:00 PM Tue, Jan 31 10:00 AM City National Grove of Anaheim

The Green 17 Tour was born in 2004 as a countdown to St. Patrick's Day with a performance and celebration in each city leading to the holiday.

2011 has been an amazing year for Flogging Molly. The band launched Borstal Beat Records (their own independent label) and released their highly acclaimed fifth album, Speed Of Darkness. The album was written in Detroit and was inspired by the US economic crisis, with the Motor City as its focal point. The result was the group's most socially conscious and musically ambitious work to date, and the reaction spoke volumes. Speed Of Darkness debuted in the Top 10 (#9 overall) and received critical praise from such press outlets as The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone.com, Alternative Press, Associated Press, USA Today, Parade Magazine, Huffington Post and many more. Flogging Molly made their debut appearance on the acclaimed PBS program Austin City Limits and was the subject of a story on the CBS Evening News http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7377632n.

Flogging Molly has created a body of work that blends traditional Celtic sounds, hard-edged punk and thoughtful, socially conscious lyrics.

The birth of Straight No Chaser's life in the spotlight is a story of talent, drive, and some very good luck.  In the fall of 1996, Indiana University student Dan Ponce hand-picked ten friends to create the campus's first a cappella group and it wasn't long before the group was headlining concerts.  Within two years, they were touring nationally.  In April 2006, Indiana University hosted a reunion concert for the original members and posted clips from one of their 1998 concerts on YouTube to share with the other founding members. The concert footage that was nearly a decade old, with no promotion, received more than seven million views in December of 2007 alone, becoming the hottest viral video of the season.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/2222.jpg Avalanche Tour featuring Shinedown Plus special guests Adelitas Way / New Medicine http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2236 The Gove of Anaheim http://www.citynationalgroveofanaheim.com/events/event_details.asp?id=2236 Tue, Mar 27 at City National Grove of Anaheim Avalanche Tour featuring Shinedown Avalanche Tour featuring Shinedown Tue, Mar 27 7:00 PM Fri, Feb 3 12:00 PM City National Grove of Anaheim SHINEDOWN READY TO ROLL ON 2012 AVALANCHE TOUR;

The 2012 Avalanche Tour celebrates Shinedown's much-anticipated new album, "AMARYLLIS," which arrives in stores and at all digital retailers on March 27th.  The album is highlighted by the explosive new single, "Bully," which is available now at all DSPs.  Shinedown's first new music since all six singles from 2008's "THE SOUND OF MADNESS" ascended to #1 at Rock radio, the track is already a top 10 sensation at Rock radio outlets nationwide after having immediately been declared the format's #1 Most Added.  A companion video clip for "Bully" is currently in pre-production, while an official lyric video is streaming now at Shinedown's official YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/ShinedownTV.

Currently poised to begin a major European tour, Shinedown will herald the release of "AMARYLLIS" with a visit to ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!  Slated for Monday, March 26th, the appearance will see Shinedown performing "Bully" live for the first time on national television on the show's outdoor stage (check local listings).

"AMARYLLIS" sees Shinedown joining forces once more with multiple Grammy Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo (Kid Rock, Green Day), who previously collaborated with the band on the record-breaking "THE SOUND OF MADNESS."  Recorded at Cavallo's Lightning Sound studios outside of Los Angeles and a pair of Hollywood landmarks, Ocean Way Recording and Capitol Studios, the album was recently named among "This Year's Best Bets" by Billboard, which noted the inventive addition of synths, a 27-piece orchestra, and a 10-piece horn section to the band's powerful hard rock.

"I've always seen Shinedown as its own entity," says Shinedown frontman Brent Smith, "this living thing that's been growing and developing and evolving over the past 10 years.  During the recording, the vision of what Shinedown is and where it's going became completely clear.  'AMARYLLIS' is the manifestation of that vision, the centerpiece of what Shinedown is.  It reflects on everything we've done and where we're heading.  It's a message of empowerment, perseverance, and inspiration that I think speaks to fans that have been with us since the beginning as well as those who are just learning about who we are and what we're about.  I can't wait for the world to hear it."

Shinedown will reveal the "AMARYLLIS" cover art with an interactive fan experience beginning on January 30th at www.shinedown.com/amaryllis.  In addition, album pre-orders will be available in a variety of bundles.  A pair of packages will be on offer, comprising an array of exclusive extras: the "Deluxe Early Entry Bundle" features one General Admission ticket to the 2012 Avalanche Tour show of the customer's choice with early entry, while the limited edition "Premium Meet and Greet Bundle" will include one General Admission ticket to the 2012 Avalanche Tour show of the customer's choice, admission to a very special meet-and-greet with the band, and a screen-printed poster signed and numbered by Shinedown themselves.  Both bundles include a CD copy of "AMARYLLIS," a Shinedown rubber bracelet and T-shirt, one-year membership (or renewal) in the Shinedown Nation Fan Club, a full album stream one week before street date, and an instant MP3 download of "Bully."

"THE SOUND OF MADNESS" proved Shinedown's mainstream breakthrough, debuting at #8 on the Billboard 200 before spending 120 consecutive weeks on the chart.  The album made rock music history, with each of its six singles reaching #1 on the airplay rankings.  Among them are such hits as "Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)," "Devour," "The Sound of Madness," "The Crow and The Butterfly," the gold certified "If You Only Knew," and the double-platinum certified crossover smash, "Second Chance" all of which rose to the top of the airplay charts, marking a genuinely stunning streak of rock radio classics.

Shinedown supported "THE SOUND OF MADNESS" with a wide range of live TV appearances, including performances on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Today Show, CBS' The Early Show, and the 2010 NHL Awards show.  In 2009, the band received an American Music Award nomination for "Best Alternative Rock Band."

Shinedown's unprecedented ascendancy over multi-format rock radio initially began with their RIAA platinum certified 2003 debut "LEAVE A WHISPER" and its gold certified 2005 follow-up, "US AND THEM."  Together, both albums yielded seven consecutive top 5 radio hits, including "Fly From the Inside," "45," "Simple Man," "Burning Bright," "Heroes," "I Dare You," and of course, the #1 blockbuster, "Save Me," which dominated Active Rock radio for a remarkable 12 successive weeks.

Kittie have never been for the faint of heart, but on their latest release, I've Failed You, the quartet redefines the scope of their heavy metal vision. "This is a very sad album and it's a very heavy album, it's something I had to get out," says frontwoman Morgan Lander. "The last two years between In the Black and now have been extremely difficult, and a lot of things have impacted the lyrical content. We've pretty much gone through an entire life upheaval and a lot of changes, and these songs tell a story it's the downfall of a relationship, coming to terms, and finding the strength to move on."

The new release is the band's second album for label eOne Music, third featuring guitarist Tara McLeod and bassist Ivy Vujic, and sixth studio release overall.
