FREE CONCERT! NO TICKET REQUIRED! Jeremy Vasquez (6:00 PM): High energy Chicago blues, mix of funk/swing but blues based John-Alex Mason (6:45 PM): John-Alex Mason attributes his love of music to two central people from his childhood in Colorado. First, his older brother, Stephen, who rocked out to music of the 60s and 70s - Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix and the Allman Brothers Band. And second, his godmother, Viola Marigna, who introduced him to Baptist moans and gospel through her own voice, mass choir concerts and church performances. I remember the exact moment Stephen played Led Zeppelin II for me and how powerful the smell of heavy perfume and anticipation was at Violas church, says Mason. It was not long before Mason discovered blues music and the bridge between praising and rocking. ]]> Feb 15, 2010 http://www.springsguide.com/community/DisplayEvent.asp?id=748 In the midst of his first college tour, promoting his latest #1 album The Blueprint 3 and his recently released video game sensation DJ Hero: Renegade Edition, the unstoppable JAY-Z confirms North American tour dates for 2010's BP3 tour - including a stop on March 22 at Pepsi Center.
