Briefly: Dixie Chicks, Scott Weiland, 'Uncle Junior,' Hookah Brown, Boyd Tinsley
The Dixie Chicks postponed their planned June 1 appearance at Cleveland's Gund Arena, reportedly because lead singer Natalie Maines came down with a sore throat. The show has been rescheduled for June 11, and tickets for the June 1 performance will be valid on the new date.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that the postponement was announced only 15 minutes before the sold-out show's scheduled 7:30 p.m. start time.
Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland , who was arrested last month after police allegedly found heroin and cocaine during a traffic stop, pleaded not guilty on Monday (6/2) to charges of drug possession.
Weiland, who was released on $10,000 bail, also told the judge that he plans to again enter a drug rehabilitation program, according to published reports.
Dominic Chianese, who plays the role of Uncle Junior on the HBO television series "The Sopranos," releases a new album titled "Ungrateful Heart: The Ultimate Italian Collection," on Tuesday (6/3).
Among the album's tracks are "Core 'n Grato," which Chianese performed on the third-season finale of "The Sopranos," "Parla Piu Piano," "Mamma" and the original "Song a Napoletano."
Hookah Brown, a group that formed last year and featured Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson, has called it quits.
"Due to some personal and business issues that we were unable to overcome, Hookah Brown is no more," Robinson said in a statement posted at the Hookah Brown website. "I thought we were becoming a really good band, but sometimes life gets in the way of people being able to make music together.
Boyd Tinsley --best known as the violinist with the Dave Matthews Band--releases his solo debut, "True Reflections," on June 17. Tinsley wrote or co-wrote most of the album's 11 tracks.
Among the guests who contributed to the release were guitarists Doyle Bramhall II and Chris Bruce; drummer J.J. Johnson; singers Lisa Germano and Toshi Reagon; keyboardists Patrick Warren and Dave Palmer; and bassist David Piltch.
