The trek kicks off April 6 and runs through a April 28 show in Chattanooga, TN, that will also feature Alice in Chains. Jennings and Alice in Chains hook up three other times during the outing; details are included at right. "Black Ribbons," Jennings fourth studio set, surfaced earlier this month. The concept album features narration by author Stephen King, who portrays a late-night talk-radio host who is in the "last hour of his final broadcast before the airwaves are overtaken by government-approved and regulated transmissions," according to Jennings' publicist. King's character plays music by Jennings and Hierophant between his increasingly paranoid rants. The set trades in Jennings' trademark alt-country sound for a harder-edged psychedelic/industrial-rock atmosphere. "I wanted to make a different kind of record--a new adventure," Jennings said in a press release. "I know some folks may be surprised at how different this record is compared to my previous works, but I'm sure once they dig in they'll find something that speaks to them. After all, it's the twisted road that matters, not the destination." "Black Ribbons" follows Jennings' 2008 release, "Waylon Forever," on which he and producer Dave Cobb resurrected and re-created music that Jennings and his father, late country music star Waylon Jennings, first began working on when Shooter was 16-years-old. Cobb, who has worked with Chris Cornell and Jamey Johnson, also produced "Black Ribbons." _[Editor's note: This story was edited on 3/13 to correct errors resulting from incorrectly transcribed itinerary_ [Note: The following tour dates have been provided by artist and/or tour sources, who verify its accuracy as of the publication time of this story.

The Telluride Town Council on Tuesday (3/9) cleared the way for the jam band to play the back-to-back shows in Town Park by resolving to exempt the concert co-producers from a deadline that would have required them to notify the town of the proposed shows by May 2009, according to The Telluride Watch . The decision completed the final step in a three-step approval process required by the Town Council for the concerts to take place. However, several other conditions must be met by the band before the shows can go forward, according to The Watch. Concert co-producers Telluride Bluegrass Festival and AEG Live reportedly must reach a legal agreement to insure that the longstanding Telluride Jazz Celebration--scheduled to run Aug. 6-8, is not negatively impacted the Phish shows. A second condition reportedly requires the band to cover a portion of law enforcement costs for the event, which have been estimated to be at least $55,000. Additionally, a minimum of 1,500 tickets reportedly must be made available for purchase only at local retailers to ensure that locals have access to the Phish shows. If the band and concert promoters meet the conditions, the Telluride shows can go forward.

The Atlanta-based outfit continues to support last year's self-titled effort, informally known as "Rabbit," the band's eighth studio set and first since 2007's "Afterwords." The 11-track album, which marked the group's debut for the Loud & Proud/Roadrunner label, is the band's first to feature songs--"You" and "Understanding"--written by all the members of the group. "Everybody just really took a big step, dug in, and worked together as a band. It was really nice," lead singer/guitarist/keyboardist Ed Roland said in a press release. "It made everything smoother and that's why I think it's the best work we've done in years." The multi-platinum rockers have had several tracks make it to the big screen in recent months. "Hollywood," a cut from the band's 2007 release "Afterwords," was featured on the soundtrack to the tween blockbuster "Twilight," while season-seven "American Idol" winner David Cook performed the rockers' 1995 hit "The World I Know" near the season's end. Roland subsequently collaborated with Cook on his eponymous debut, which surfaced in 2008.

The set, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album, includes "Whatever You Like," a parody of the hit T.I. song of the same name. "The songs on 'Internet Leaks' will all show up again on my next full album release, whenever that is," Yankovic posted last summer at his blog . There is still no confirmed title or release date for the forthcoming set. Last fall, Yankovic also unveiled "The Essential 'Weird Al' Yankovic," a two-disc, 38-track collection, which contains some of his biggest hits, including "Eat It," "White & Nerdy" and "Smells Like Nirvana," among others. In January, Yankovic revealed in a blog posting that he had signed a deal with Cartoon Network. "Without going into too much detail, the folks at Cartoon Network decided that they liked me and wanted me to provide some content for them--series, features, animation, live-action...they were open to anything," Yankovic explained. "The first thing I'm on track to do for them is, in fact, a live-action feature film." No further details about the project have been released.

Demme's first Young film, "Heart of Gold," is similar only in that it, too, was shot over two nights--at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. The new film, which screens in the US beginning March 19 but does not yet have a Blu-Ray/DVD release date, has a far greater stylistic mix and less of a unifying theme as a hook. Young's tour at the time was for "Chrome Dreams II," an album of electric and acoustic songs that had its roots in a shelved album the mid-1980s; "Heart of Gold" drew a throughline from Young's biggest hit and more mellow, recent acoustic works. "Trunk Show" is a guitar film. The songs, save for "Cinnamon Girl," "Like a Hurricane" and "Cowgirl in the Sand," are largely obscure, and a few--"Sad Movies," "Kansas" and "Mexico"--even had longtime Young fans befuddled when they made their way into set lists on the tour. There's little time spent with backstage or travel scenes; this is about the performance from the perspective of the front row, the drum kit and the stage hands. Demme holds shots for lengthy periods, adding extra focus on the performance. Shows on that tour were divided between acoustic and electric sets; the film mixes and matches to hold the viewer's interest.

O'Brien will premiere "The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour" April 12 in Eugene, OR, eventually working his way from the West Coast to the East Coast. In all, the event will stop by 28 North American cities before wrapping up June 14 in Atlanta.

Tickets for all shows, which are shown at right, are on sale now via Ticketmaster. The revue, which O'Brien's website describes as "a night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence," will also feature the comedian's longtime sidekick Andy Richter and the band from his eight-month run on the "Tonight Show."

The Beastie Boys [ tickets rapper made a public appearance March 5 at the Film Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles to support nominated films "The Messenger" and "Treeless Mountain," both of which were distributed by his company, Oscilloscope Laboratories; Woody Harrelson won Best Supporting Male for his role in "The Messenger." At the event, Yauch told Entertainment Weekly that he and the other Beastie Boys are planning to give their album "Hot Sauce Committee Part 1" a final once-over to make sure they are satisfied with the recording. The album's release was delayed from last September due to Yauch's cancer diagnosis. "It was really disappointing to have to hold the record and postpone the tour, but doctor's orders," Yauch told EW. "We finished the record over a year ago, so we want to take a look at it and re-evaluate and make sure it is what we want to put out there and that we are still happy with it," he said. "I don't think we will change it up too much." Yauch said the band may release the album in September, depending on his health. "We want to but we have to play it by ear," he said. Yauch told EW he is feeling better following the cancer treatment. "It was touch and go there for a while, but I am finally getting my energy back," he said.

The Los Angeles-based band will kick off the run with an April 1 performance in Anaheim, CA, followed by three more shows throughout the state. The trek then moves east, visiting theaters and clubs in 14 cities before wrapping up June 30 in Milwaukee. The full itinerary is shown at right. "Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love & Hate," the follow-up to POM's 2007 release, "Famous," surfaced in December. The group recorded the album in Vancouver and Los Angeles with producers Brian Howes, John Kurzweg--both of whom helped on previous albums--and Brian Virtue. Petro Papahadjopoulos created the video for the album's lead single, "Spaceship," which included guest appearances by Nitro Circus, a.k.a. action-sport legends Travis Pastrana, Jolene Van Vugt, Jim DeChamp, Andy Bell, Erik Roner, "Streetbike" Tommy Passemante, Jeremy Rawle, Gregg Godfrey and Hubert Rowland. Puddle of Mudd recently contributed a track entitled "Shook Up The World" to the Team USA Winter Olympics soundtrack, which is currently available for download via iTunes. Proceeds from the track went to Team USA. "Being a part of this collection of great artists in support of Team USA is inspiring," frontman Wes Scantlin said in a statement posted at the band's website . "But the greatest reward is knowing that our contribution will help athletes achieve their dreams of Olympic Gold now and into the future."

The massive production gets underway May 13 in Estero, FL, continuing on through the South and into the West before concluding with a June 17 performance in Reno. The road trip includes shows in 17 major markets. Details are shown at right. Tickets for the spring concerts go on sale Saturday (3/13) via Ticketmaster. The two-hour performance, which made its world premiere last year in London, combines music from John Williams' "Star Wars" scores--performed by a full symphony orchestra and choir--with specially edited footage from the films on a massive high-definition LED "super-screen." Anthony Daniels, the actor who portrayed C-3PO in the six-part saga, narrates each evening. "We've taken the key themes from the music and cut together all the images that fit with each theme, so you can really get a sense of how the music played into the images," creator George Lucas explained in a press release. Along with the multi-media experience, fans get an up-close look at exclusive exhibits of full costumes, props and production artwork typically housed at Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. "This event has been crafted to present 'Star Wars' from many points of view," touring producer Spencer Churchill said in a press release. "For the first time, the full dramatic sweep of Williams' iconic scores can be heard performed live in one evening. The show is a new way to experience the epic scope of the saga."

The event, dubbed "NPR On Location with Roseanne Cash," will be hosted by NPR's Michele Norris of "All Things Considered." The centerpiece of the show will be a conversation between Cash and Norris during which the singer/songwriter will shine a light on her life, her writing, her family and the music that ties it all together, according to a press release.

The album, Cash's first collection of cover tunes, features 12 songs she selected from a list of "100 Essential Country Songs" that her father gave her when she was a teenager. During her performance, Cash will be accompanied by her husband and producer, John Leventhal. The evening will close with Cash answering questions posed by members of the audience. Cash also explores her famous family, interesting upbringing, her development as an artist and her current life in an upcoming memoir, "Composed," which will hit stores Aug. 10.

John's full-band outing kicks off April 9 in Lubbock, TX, and runs through a May 1 show in Youngstown, OH. Full ticketing information, including John's overseas itinerary, can be found at the singer's website. Following months of postponements and cancellations involving dates on last year's joint Face 2 Face Tour, John and Joel have since been making good on many of the missed gigs. The longtime musical pals will make one more appearance--tonight (3/11) in Albany, NY--before bringing the curtain down on the arrangement for the foreseeable future. "As far as I know, there will be no more Billy and Elton shows after the Albany show in New York on March 11th," John said during an interview last month with WGN-TV in Chicago. "It's not my decision, it's Billy's," John said. "He has decided to take a year off. It doesn't gel with my plans but he's a friend. And as an artist, you have to respect his decision." Joel later told Rolling Stone that rumors about a 2010 summer tour were apparently leaked by insiders at venues where booking agents had inquired about available dates for a possible Joel/John show. Joel insisted there is no bad blood between him and John, and said the successful Face to Face tour would probably pick up again in the future. However, he did not say when. The recent outing, which kicked off last spring, was the third time the two men have toured together, following similar jaunts in 1994 and 2003.
