Coming soon: Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Flo-Rida and more
- Fresno's turning into country music central in the next few months. Rascal Flatts is at Save Mart Center on April 9, we already knew that. But now Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley have announced separate headlining dates at Save Mart Center. According to Underwood's Web site, she'll be at Save Mart Center on May 20 with Josh Turner opening. A tour itinerary released recently for Paisley includes a June 19 Save Mart Center date with Jewel among his openers. No word on ticket prices or on sale dates yet, but check back for updates.
- Another country tidbit: Emerson Drive has been announced as this year's musical act at Clovis Rodeo. That's April 25.
- Radio station Q97 announced the lineup for its Spring Jam concert on April 13 at Saroyan Theatre. It's being headlined by Flo-Rida, of "Low" fame and also includes Ray J., Colby O'Donis, Roscoe Umali and 2 Pistols. Tickets are on sale now.
- For the underground hip-hop folks, Blu & Exile -- who for my money dropped the dopest album of 2007 with "Below the Heavens" -- will perform at Starline on April 16.
- Tickets went on sale today to see girl group Danity Kane, of MTV's "Making the Band," perform on July 11 at the Kings Fair. Tickets cost $25 and are available through TicketWeb.com.
- This should be big: Rock groups Minus the Bear, Portugal The Man and The Big Sleep are performing April 28 at The Exit. Tickets are on sale now.
- The Ringo Starr-headed All Star summer tour is headed to Tachi Palace in Lemoore. The show is July 22 and also includes Colin Hay, Billy Squier, Hamish Stuart and Edgar Winter. No ticket details at this point, but check back.
- More country and more Tachi Palace: Trace Adkins, who we've seen lately on "The Celebrity Apprentice," will perform in Lemoore on Aug. 6.

...hmmm
'Emerson Drive,' at the animal roping fest doth not interest me...
'Emerson, Lake, and Palmer' -unkay, NOW we're talking...
...don't laugh,
from what I understand Bonzo Bonham (of Zep,) was a hardcore farmer, and frequently would be found boarding the tour busses and planes still in his grubbies and with cow poo sometimes on his boots...
sorry to spoil anybody's breakfast...
