Tour de Friday

It's almost time for festival organizers to start unveiling their initial artist rosters. The folks at Consequence of Sound has the 411 on rumors and early confirmations. You can check it out here. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
The Allman Brothers Band recently announced their annual residency in NYC this March. This time they will be calling the United Palace Theater home. Due to a scheduling conflict, the band will not be able to hunker down at the Beacon Theatre,which has usually hosted the band during the residency. The band has eight shows confirmed (March 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20). Last year the band celebrated their 40th anniversary in style. Guests included Eric Clapton, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Buddy Guy, Levon Helm and many more. Check out the video below showcasing the United Palace Theater.

As the Chicagoland area braces for up to 9 inches of snow tomorrow, here is some news to help you over the Wednesday hump.
In light of the Soundgarden reunion announcement, I thought I would post this video. Enjoy!

Monday Morning Coffee Break

I had a great trip to St. Louis except for the fact that we had to take a flight back because our train broke down before even getting to St. Louis.
It didn't take long for Chris Cornell to make news in 2010. At the stroke of midnight, Cornell tweeted that Soundgarden is back! Matt Cameron, who is Soundgarden's drummer currently drums for Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam is scheduled to headline the NOLA Jazz & Heritage Festival and has some summer European shows line up. It will be interesting to see if Pearl Jam keeps Cameron as their drummer. Superunknown is one of my favorite albums from the 90's and I can't wait to see these guys live. There is no word on an album or tour dates, but check out Soundgardenworld.com for updates.
