Country music icon Vince Gill has unveiled a more than 30-city summer tour that will include a stop in downtown Minneapolis.
Hennepin Arts will bring the 22-time Grammy winner to the Orpheum Theatre on May 22.
The 67-year-old singer behind "I Still Believe In You" has spent the last eight years as a touring member of the Eagles. Gill's solo tour will kick off shortly after the "Hotel California" band wraps up a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
'I left home 50 years ago to try and become an accomplished musician and perform in front of whoever would show up," Gill said in a statement. "All these years later, it feels as special today as it ever did.'
He'll be joined for the tour by an eight-piece band that includes Tom Bukovac (guitar), Eddie Dunlap (steel guitar), Jedd Hughes (guitar, vocals), John Jarvis (keyboards), Wendy Moten (vocals), Jimmie Lee Sloas (bass), Billy Thomas (drums), and Jeff White (guitar, vocals).

Chiefs documentary delivers expected satisfying ending for the Eagles faithful

Is it strange to state Eagles fans were more pumped for ESPN's The Kingdom than Chiefs fans were? There is only one thing capable of equaling the satisfying feeling of watching the Philadelphia Eagles destroy the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. That's watching the Eagles destroy the Chiefs again in a documentary. Thank Heaven for NFL Films, and thank you to everyone involved in the making of an ESPN original. Most of you know this. The 'worldwide leader in sports' lent its cameras to follow the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. The goal was to gain unprecedented access to their quest for an unprecedented 'three-peat'. There isn't a Birds fan walking who doesn't know how that ended up. The entire series is available for streaming on ESPN+ and Disney+. If you're like most Birds fans, you'll find the most satisfaction in skipping the first five episodes and diving right into the finale. ESPN's The Kingdom offers the Eagles fan base a wildly satisfying and expected ending to a good documentary In The Pursuit, the sixth and final episode of The Kingdom, we find Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and company traveling to New Orleans to face Philadelphia on football's most significant and grandest stage. There isn't a Birds fan in the Delaware Valley or anywhere else on Planet Earth who hasn't seen FOX's presentation of Super Bowl LIX more than once. Still, even with all of that being the case, you have to watch this one anyway. Seeing the annihilation in documentary form is indescribable. ESPN's goal was to capture the Chiefs' pursuit and fulfillment of their destiny. What ESPN had hoped for was an epic commemorating history, but an inspired Eagles team had other plans. Destiny's new darling throttled the champs, the best quarterback of his era, and the man who might be the second most excellent coach of all time. All in all, The Kingdom is a pleasant viewing experience. It doesn't hurt anything that the right team won. It's an excellent watch, but it also leads to two questions. Is it strange to state Eagles fans were more excited about this doc than the Chiefs were? Is it weird to say the upset made for a better and more intriguing ending? The answer to those questions is 'yes' and 'yes'. With that, Philadelphia begins its push for another run at glory as the defending champs, even if they have no interest in being identified as such.

Chappell Roan's New Single Brings Her To Never-Before-Seen Highs

Just a few days after being properly released, Chappell Roan's new single 'The Subway' has turned out to be one of the biggest of her career. The tune is off to a fantastic start across several Billboard charts worldwide and in America, as it seems that there is a serious demand for anything new from the singer-songwriter and current holder of the Best New Artist Grammy. 'The Subway' doesn't just earn a lofty beginning, it helps the pop star climb higher than ever on multiple tallies. Chappell Roan's New Career Peaks 'The Subway' opens at No. 3 on both the Hot 100, America's list of the most consumed songs in the country, and on the Billboard Global 200, which ranks the biggest tracks all around the planet. No. 3 now stands as Roan's all-time career high on both of those rankings. On the Hot 100, she previously stalled at No. 4 with both 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'Pink Pony Club.' Globally, 'Good Luck, Babe!' — which peaked at No. 5 — stood out as her highest-rising title until this frame. Chappell Roan Almost Hits No. 1 for the First Time Roan almost scores her first No. 1 on the Streaming Songs tally, which looks specifically at the tunes that rack up the most plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Tidal, and others in the United States. On that list, 'The Subway' begins its time in the runner-up space, losing out to 'Golden' from the movie KPop: Demon Hunters. Just as is the case on the Hot 100, Roan has seen two tunes peak at No. 4 on the Streaming Songs list, although 'Pink Pony Club' only galloped to No. 6 as both 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'The Giver' worked their way to No. 4. 'The Subway' Launches Inside the Top 10 Everywhere 'The Subway' also enters the top 10 on two other Billboard rankings. The track is new at No. 4 on the Digital Song Sales chart and No. 10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., though those do not mark new peak positions for the rising pop musician on those lists. 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'The Giver' Join 'The Subway' 'The Subway' is the latest single from Roan that continues her global success, which is not featured on her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. That set did produce tracks like 'Pink Pony Club,' 'Hot to Go!,' and 'Red Wine Supernova.' While many of her most famous cuts — including 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'The Giver' — are likely to be featured on a forthcoming project, though Roan has no timetable for when she may finish her sophomore full-length.

Everything We Know About Steve Lacy's New Album ‘Oh Yeah?'

Rolling Stone's September cover star Steve Lacy is getting ready to release Oh Yeah? his follow-up to 2022's Gemini Rights. The Grammy-winning musician best known for the smash hit 'Bad Habit' says that on this album, he's focused on being as transparent as possible, which means letting fans in on more of his personality. Today, he dropped 'Nice Shoes,' a single that he describes as a 'trailer' for his upcoming album. The track hints at some new sonic territory for Lacy, featuring a fast-paced jungle-inspired breakbeat. He maintains the elements of his classic sound, however, towards the song's end, which segues into a slow-rolling guitar melody that's classic Steve Lacy. 'I feel safe enough and close enough to start talking about it now, and get the title out and just get the energy in the air,' Lacy says of his upcoming album. 'I've never worked where I kind of announce it while I'm still working on it. I feel like rappers work until the last minute.' More from Rolling Stone Steve Lacy Shares Album Merch and a New Single 'Nice Shoes' Steve Lacy Is One of Modern Pop's Most Unique Talents. Just Don't Make a Big Deal About It Fousheé Announces First-Ever 'Pointy Heights' U.S. Tour Here's everything we know about Steve Lacy's upcoming album Oh Yeah? He started working on the record shortly after It's been three years since Lacy's Grammy-winning album Gemini Rights. He says he started work on this next album shortly after. 'I just kind of got in the studio right away. I'm always making things. It's just what I do to hang out. I just make beats.' What about that title? As for what inspired him to call his album Oh Yeah?, all Lacy says in his cover store is, 'the question's important.' His new single, 'Nice Shoes' is a 'trailer' for the album On Friday, Lacy dropped 'Nice Shoes,' his first new release since 2022. With lyrics that volley between playful and insightful (Lacy at one point muses on a 'romantic boner,' as he describes it), the track leans on a fierce breakbeat that serves as a backdrop for Lacy's specific brand of songwriting. 'Crazy how you could be sad and not notice,' he sings. 'All I need is my guitar and serotonin.' He's thinking more about lyrics than he has in the past Despite being best known for infectious hooks, Lacy says he approached lyrics far more intentionally on this new album. 'When I first started making shit or producing stuff with the Internet, I would always make the beat, make a hook, and just give it away,' he says. 'That was my process for a while, so words were always just kind of secondary. I'm like, 'If my beat hard, this bass line hard, the chords hard, what else do we need?' But now I'm like, 'OK, I want to say shit how I would say shit.' ' According to the Internet's Matt Martians, the album sounds like pop classics from an earlier time Matt Martians of the Internet, the experimental R&B where Lacy got his start, says he's heard some songs from the album and compares it to the pop standards of yesteryear. 'When I heard the album, I said, 'You really made a pop album. And not pop in the sense of current-day pop, but pop what it used to be as far as greats,' ' Martians says. 'He is getting into areas that I feel like are very reminiscent of a pop of yesteryear, which is very good.' Lacy digs into electronic influences One of the more surprising elements of the songs on Oh Yeah is how Lacy incorporates synthesizers and other electronic sounds. Lacy says he developed an interest in collecting synthesizers. 'I have a good amount of synthesizers. I actually spent a lot of money trying to get the famous vintage ones,' he says. 'I got the Juno, but I end up mostly using one that cost me about 900 bucks. I use the cheaper one the most. It's all over the album, and I won't say what that is because got to gatekeep that.' He recorded parts of the album in Paris Lacy, an L.A. native, spent time in Paris recording his album.'I just love it,' Lacy says of the city. 'I love the color of all the beiges and the lights and how old everything is, even the lighting at night. It's just the vibe.' The city inspired his sense of directness on the album. He goes on to say, 'I think it inspires me based on the clarity that I have being here.' The album will be out soon While Lacy remains cryptic about when exactly Oh Yeah is set to drop, all signs indicate it'll be here in the near future Best of Rolling Stone Sly and the Family Stone: 20 Essential Songs The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked Solve the daily Crossword
