Saturday, Sept. 18 at 8 p.m.

Los Temerarios will indulge its audience with an exceptional live performance and continue the festivities to honor the 200 year anniversary of Mexico’s independence.

Los Temerarios is a vibrant musical force that epitomizes admiration and prestige in the Latin music world. With a career that spans three decades, the band has dedicated its life to music. The music is best described as innovative and versatile, ranging from signature ballads, to rhythmic anthems and the originality of appreciation of Mexican music. The end result is a remarkable musical evolution with an international world-wide appeal.

All this and much more has become Los Temerarios’ passport to earn gold and platinum level sales, awards, countless radio hits and sold out tour dates in the United States, Mexico as well as Central and South America. Among those awards: ‘Latin GRAMMY®’, ‘Premio Billboard’, ‘Premio Lo Nuestro A La Música Latina’ as well as numerous certified gold, platinum and diamond records for global sales of over 30 million.

The Black Crowes take flight like never before with their first-ever double album of all acoustic material, Croweology. Due out Tuesday, Aug. 3, their new album features new arrangements of their best-loved songs and catalogue picks.

Croweology spans The Black Crowes’ revered catalog with acoustic renditions of 20 songs from their two decades of cosmic rock ‘n’ roll.  Commemorating the 20 year anniversary of their landmark multi-platinum debut, Shake Your Moneymaker, Croweology gives listeners an intimate retrospective. The new album strips away these fan and band favorites like “Jealous Again,” “Remedy,” “She Talks To Angels” and “Wiser Time” to their very essence through brand new recordings.

Friday, July 16 at 8 p.m.

The tour will make a stop at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Friday, July 16.

In a review of the tour with Muse, the San Jose Mercury News hailed: “As good as [Silversun Pickups] is on record, the group showed in Oakland that it can achieve even greater heights on the live stage…where the Pickups’ brand of jammed-out alt-rock truly shines.”

Silversun Pickups are touring in support of their critically acclaimed second album, Swoon, which has so far yielded the #1 Modern Rock smash, “Panic Switch.” During this cycle, the band has appeared on Late Show with David Letterman, the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

ESPINOZA PAZ *this weekend*
Saturday, July 17 at 8 p.m.

Right after a recent and very successful sold out show at the Los Angeles Nokia theater in conjunction with prestigious live entertainment company AEG, the need emerged for the first Espinoza Paz tour throughout various cities in the united states: “Nace una Estrella.”

Espinoza Paz has not only been able to captivate hundreds of thousands of fans around the American Union and Mexico, but he has also gained the respect and admiration from important names in the regional Mexican genre (Jenni Rivera, Banda Cuisillos, El Coyote y su Banda Tierra Santa, La Arrolladora Banda el Limón de René Camacho, Duelo, Sergio Vega, Montéz de Durango) and even, some pop idols like David Bisbal y Thalía to name a few.

JACKSON BROWNE
Tuesday, July 20 at 8 p.m.
(Special guest David Lindley)

LYLE LOVETT AND HIS LARGE BAND
Saturday, July 24 at 8 p.m.

One of the all-time great American singers/songwriters, Lyle Lovett, will be coming to The Joint this summer. Lovett is a four time Grammy winner and has led a remarkable career which includes 14 albums and over four million records sold.  Lyle Lovett and his Large Band will perform at The Joint on Saturday, July 24.

In concert, Lyle Lovett and his Large Band are able to present a musical breadth that very few artists can deliver. The Large Band is a formidable musical collective. It’s a swinging Texas big band one minute; an R&B unit the next; an uptown jazz orchestra the one after that; and then a righteous, gospel outfit. Subtract a few players for a minute and the Large Band becomes a small one, perfectly suited for subtly enhancing the most intimate and understated songs from Lovett’s deep catalog.

One of the most beloved punk-inspired bands in the world will be bringing their live show to The Joint at the end of summer 2010.

As evidenced by the explosive, uncompromising and downright brilliant album-opener, “Famous For Nothing” and the set bowing, optimistic roar of Never Forget, The Meanest Of Times is book-ended in top form and captures among its fifteen tracks what founding bassist Ken Casey calls “themes of childhood, growing up and family”.

Over the course of his twenty-year career, he has headlined comedy festivals across the Globe and gained a devoted following, he has performed sold out tours of China, South Africa, Australia, the UK, Singapore, Sweden, Norway, Lebanon, Bahrain, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and India.

CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH Friday, June 4th at 8pm

Tickets start at $46 On Sale Now

The legendary trio Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN)—David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash—will tour the western United States in late spring, making a stop at The Joint.

Most recently, CSN was a featured part of the all-star tribute to Neil Young – their longtime partner in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – at NARAS’ 2010 Person of the Year gala honoring Young that kicked off this year’s GRAMMY® weekend festivities.

In October 2009, CSN played at historic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City. CSN was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. David Crosby has also been previously inducted for The Byrds, and Stephen Stills with Buffalo Springfield; at this year’s 2010 ceremony, Graham Nash will be dual-honored as well when The Hollies join the fold.

Also in 2009, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash were inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame at a June 18 ceremony in New York City. That same month marked Rhino Records’ release of Demos. Featuring 12 previously unreleased tracks recorded between 1968 and 1971, Demos spotlights destined-to-be-classic songs later heard on CSN’s group and solo titles.

CSN’s music immediately became a cornerstone of rock ‘n roll with the group’s self-titled 1969 debut LP, now one of Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” That same year, they were honored with the GRAMMY award for Best New Artist. 1970’s Déjà Vu—another “500 Greatest”—followed, the first album from the group’s four-man line-up with Neil Young (CSN&Y). Ever since—through changing times and various configurations—Crosby, Stills & Nash have continued to tour and record as “three together.”

Tickets start at $42.50 On Sale Now

Tracy Morgan, star of NBC’s Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning “30 Rock,” will be bringing his live stand-up show to The Joint this summer.

As a stand-up comic who has headlined across the country, Morgan was first introduced to television audiences in his role as “Hustleman” on the hit comedy series “Martin.” He went on to join “Saturday Night Live” in 1996 where he appeared for seven seasons and created such memorable characters as “Astronaut Jones” and “Brian Fellows.” After leaving SNL, Morgan went on to star in his own comedy series “The Tracy Morgan Show” and voiced “Spoonie Luv” on Comedy Central’s “Crank Yankers.”

Morgan currently stars on “30 Rock” along with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin as “Tracy Jordan,” the unpredictable star of Lemon’s (Fey) hit variety show, “TGS with Tracy Jordan.” This year Morgan received his first Emmy Nomination for this role, in the Supporting Actor category; he has in three past years also been nominated for a Supporting Actor NAACP Image Award. The “30 Rock” cast won in 2009 the Screen Actors Guild Award for “Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.”

This upcoming year will be a busy one for Morgan. First up is Kevin Smith’s COP OUT. In the dark feature, he stars with Bruce Willis as two cops given the grim tasks of locating a stolen baseball card to pay for a wedding, rescuing a kidnapped woman, and combating gangsters whose main goals are laundering money and elevating the death count in Brooklyn. In April, Morgan will star in the comedy DEATH AT A FUNERAL for Screen Gems. The film, a remake of the 2007 British movie of the same name, also features Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Zoe Saldana, and Danny Glover. The independent romantic comedy feature NAILED (from David O.
