Celebrated American singer/songwriter Todd Snider is now touring in support of his 12th album, Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables. Deemed 'America's sharpest musical storyteller' by Rolling Stone, Snider uses his Americana/alternative country/folk style to paint a world where begging turns to mugging, investment turns to ruin, babies grow into felons, and honesty is blunt trauma. The result is something disconcerting, cracked, and wholly original.

Although Townshend and Daltrey are now in their late 60s, the Quadrophenia tour shows the Who are just as powerful and relevant as they were in 40 years ago.

THE WHO, one of rock's legendary and defining bands, have announced a major North American arena tour where they'll perform their iconic 1973 double album QUADROPHENIA in its entirety, along with a selection of WHO classics. The critically acclaimed QUADROPHENIA marked the British band's second rock opera (after Tommy), raised the bar for rock albums as an art form and hit #2 on the U.S. Billboard album chart. The tour will stop in Las Vegas at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino tonight, February 8, 2012, at 7:30 p.m.
