November 18, 2009 - The history of music at sporting events dates back at least to the 19th Century, when the Spiros Samaras-penned Olympic theme was performed at the 1896 games in Athens. More than 110 years later, music and sport continue to share the spotlight. Witness the New York Yankees' adoption of Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" as their theme song on their recent championship run. Not only did Jay-Z and Alicia Keys perform the track live at Yankee Stadium before Game 2 of the World Series--the MC offered a reprise performance (with Bridget Kelly pinch-hitting for Keys) a week later at the Yankees' victory parade.
August 17, 2009 - Like many artists of his generation, Virginia native Jason Mraz finds inspiration from a myriad of genres--from jazz, reggae and pop, to hip-hop and folk.
February 2, 2009 - Alt-rockers The Presidents of the United States of America will hit the road this spring for another round of headlining dates in support of the band's album from last year.
