Forever's a Long Time

Every Tuesday and Thursday, we'll be posting events that are going on sale during the current week. This Tuesday post only collects the early announcements, so definitely check back on Thursday for the latest ticket news.

"Come to Jesus," the featured hit single of Mindy Smith's debut album, sold 300,000 copies, as well as being featured on numerous TV night-time talk shows and VH1 and CMT. Frankly, with a hit like this, we thought she was a Christian-Pop star. But after listening to her sophomore CD, One Moment More, we've realized that she has crossed many genres and landed in Country, Folk, and even Pop. Time Magazine calls it a "hybrid...

As far as I'm concerned, The Honorary Title should be headlining their own tour, but Friday night at the Theatre of Living Arts they fronted Butch Walker. Obviously most of the audience was there to see Butch Walker. This simple fact had a huge impact on The Honorary Title's performance and attitude.

Tonight, Theatre of the Living Arts presents Butch Walker and the Let's Go Out Tonites with The Honorary Title and Rocket starting at 9PM.

By now you’ve probably heard of Nouvelle Vague, the French band covering songs of the English new wave in the loungey style of Brazilian bossanova. They’re on the stereo at your hipster friends’ parties, they’re showing up on every list as one of the best breakout albums of the summer, and most recently, they’re on the soundtrack for a T-Mobile commercial. And now the band is bound for World Café Live, the Philadelphia stop on their American tour.
