READ STORY HERE ->Essence Music Festival: Stars command the stage – USATODAY.com

The Essence Music Festival is one of the big summer events that many people attend. This year's line-up of performers is super including the return of D'Angelo to the stage after years out of the music spotlight.

From this read, it sounds like R&B singers Tank and Mary J. Blige brought it to the fans. Plus, neo-soul  Ledisi has gotten great reviews. Gospel duo Mary Mary always uplifts the crowd with their music and positive message.

Beyonce preparing for Revel

Beyonce is getting ready for her 'Revel' concert and this video shows some of that preparation. It's been awhile since the singer has toured after giving birth to baby girl Blue Ivy. Head over to the hip music site, Singersroom for all the latest in music news, videos, and more.

Yep, another music video ~Rock On!

I told myself this morning that today was going to be pure fun in whatever I planned for the day and weekend. In keeping with that thought and hoping all of you are enjoying a fun weekend too, jam to the Dave Matthews Band performing one of my favorite songs off their last album "Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King." By the way, DMB will be in Atlanta next Tuesday, May 22. The venue will be rocking all their hits and comfortable shoes are a must because no one will be sitting down for this one.

Yep, another music video ~Rock On!

Birthday Quote ~ Bono

Today is U2 frontman Bono's birthday. My blog readers are probably getting tired of these birthday videos, but this one is extra special. I'm a huge fan of U2 and just couldn't pass on posting this fave song, "Beautiful Day." I bet it's one of your favorites too. Please bare with me on yet another music video;-)

Here's that birthday quote ->"As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both." ~Bono

This is Kool

Hey, this is Kool! I bet the concert goers will enjoy the two different music genres from R&B/funk to Rock. Van Halen is a rockin' band and frontman David Lee Roth knows how to work the crowd. The fans are in for a great show from both performers.

St. Vincent: Queen of Indie Rock

St. Vincent: Queen of Indie Rock - Studio 360
Just stumbled across this concert review. It's so worth a read and has some cool pics from St. Vincent's performance. If any of you have listened to her music, I think you will agree that the reviewer of this piece is spot on about her Indie Rock sound.
