The founding members were Glenn Frey (guitars, vocals), Don Henley (drums, vocals), Bernie Leadon (guitars, vocals) and Randy Meisner (bass guitar, vocals). With five number-one singles, six Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards, and six number-one albums, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of their albums, Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) and Hotel California, were ranked among the 20 best-selling albums in the United States according to the Recording Industry Association of America. By 2006, both albums were among the top three best-selling albums in the United States. Back in 2014, Linda Ronstadt recounted how a legendary rock band came to be. Glenn Frey and Don Henley knew each other before they joined Linda Ronstadt's band in 1971. But it was that time together that led to the formation of the Eagles later that year. Upon the publication of her 2014 autobiography Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir – two years prior to the death of Glenn Frey on Monday (Jan. 18) at age 67 -- Ronstadt told Billboard about the adventure of incubating the Eagles. "[Producer] John Boylan was very active in helping me put a band together in those days. He knew all the musicians, and apparently Don Henley had already sent him some songs he had written. He'd heard me sing, he'd heard my records, he wanted to meet me and he came to L.A. hoping he could, and he had written some songs he hoped maybe I'd record. He sent them to John and they didn't turn out to be good songs for me at the time, but I heard him play the drums when I was walking through the room at the Troubadour and I thought he was such a good drummer. He had country mixed with rock in a way that didn't compromise either genre. So I said, 'Let's see if we can get him to play drums,' and John went to talk to him and he said, 'All right.' "So we hired [Henley] to play drums. And then I needed a guitar player. I couldn't take Bernie Leadon because he was working with the Flying Burrito Brothers, so I said 'All right, I'll get Glenn Frey. He can play really good guitar.' I was living with J.D. Souther then, and [Frey] was J.D.'s music partner. They had a group called Longbranch Pennywhistle. They were kind of breaking up; they decided to go their separate ways, but they were still really good friends. So I asked Glenn if he would come on that tour with us. The Eagles Linda Ronstadt Connection continued….. The Eagles Linda Ronstadt Connection continued….. Eagles' Don Henley on Glenn Frey: 'He Was Like a Brother to Me' "In those days we didn't have enough money to put people in separate rooms, so Glenn and Don were rooming together and they each discovered the other could sing and was a great songwriter. Glenn used to call Don his secret weapon. He said, 'I'm gonna do a band with Don. We're gonna do a band together.' I said, 'That's a great idea.' "So we all talked about it. John said, 'I can help you do this. I can help you put this band together, and while you're waiting to get a record deal, you can play with Linda and you can have a gig.' It was one of those kinds of situations where it was in everybody's advantage. So I suggested they get Bernie Leadon to play guitar because I liked Bernie and John suggested that they get Randy Meisner, and that's how the Eagles were formed. "They used to rehearse in my house, where I was living with J.D., because we had a bigger living room than they did. And I remember coming home one day and they had rehearsed 'Witchy Woman' and they had all the harmonies worked out, four-part harmonies. It was fantastic. I knew it was gonna be a hit. You could just tell. They had really strong voices, really strong playing, really strong songwriting ideas and they had an extended pool of songwriters like Jack Tempchin and J.D. Souther and Jackson Browne. It was just an amazing time. There was no way they could miss with all that going for them." Now, Eagles Ronstadt Experience remakes the biggest hits of The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt performed by some of the world’s finest Musicians. This tremendous tribute to the writing, performance, style and sound of the California country, folk, and rock music superstars has been carefully and thoughtfully re-created for the highest entertainment value. Most of these musicians grew up listening, learning, and passionately playing and singing along to what is now truly A phenomenon worth recreating.

RANDY WOOLFORD (electric & acoustic guitars, keys, lead & backing vocals) Randy is a seasoned musician, singer, songwriter and recording artist. An original member of the national act “The Young Dubliners” he performed throughout the world sharing the stage with many well known acts: Jethro Tull, John Hiatt, Chris Isaak, Jonny Lang, Collective Soul etc. Randy’s soulful solo voice, excellent back up vocals, spot on electric and acoustic guitar playing and stage presence are emblematic of Eagles Ronstadt Experience. DAN HILL (bass, lead and backing vocals) Dan’s versatile voice and rock solid bass are a highlight of The Eagles – Ronstadt Experience. His voice convincingly covers the lyrical rasp of Don Henley as well as the dulcet tenor of Timothy B. Schmidt. His rock solid bass drives up-tempo rockers and fills ballads with melodic sensitivity. Dan, originally from Chicago, cut his teeth playing bass and singing lead and harmony vocals in local rock and dance bands. He has performed throughout Southern California with a number of well-known club and tribute acts. RICHARD YOUNG (electric and acoustic guitars, b bender, lap steel, slide, mandolin, banjo, lead and back up vocals) Richard is originally from Ohio. He is an active studio musician, producer, songwriter and music director. Some of the artists/musicians he has worked with include Timothy B.

KIM WOOLFORD (lead and backing vocals, percussion) Kim’s outstanding voice brings authenticity, power, poetry and the rare lyrical sensitivity of Linda Ronstadt to our shows. She excels in all aspects of the Ronstadt repertoire from the nostalgic lyricism of “Blue Bayou;” the rockin’ sass of “Tumblin’ Dice;” the Motown exuberance of “Heat Wave;” the rock truth telling of “You’re No Good.” Her unparalleled back up vocals add a lush resonance to all Eagles songs as well. DAN HALEY (keyboards, lead & backing vocals, acoustic & electric guitars) Dan is an incredibly talented keyboardist- guitarist-vocalist. Dan covers the most notable piano, Fender Rhodes and organ parts with the band. His musical versatility also includes both acoustic and electric rhythm guitar and strong lead and harmony vocals.

  • Desperado Set to Fill Hht…
    PRESS RELEASE – February 23, 2017 DESPERADO SET TO FILL HHT...AGAIN The band DESPERADO has a reputation for an amazing recreation of the classic sound of THE EAGLES. If you close your eyes, you would swear you were listening to one of your favorite LPs from the 70's. On Saturday March 4th at 7:00 pm you can experience that feeling too. In 2015, DESPERADO was the first group to sell out their performance at the fledgling Historic Hemet Theatre. Last year, their return visit was one of only two concerts that filled the auditorium to capacity. Now that the theatre is filling the house regularly, this appearance will certainly be no exception. With five lead vocalists and instrumentalists who have honed their musical skills in a variety of professional projects, "DESPERADO" is truly a cut above -- performing with all live sound (no backing tracks). Singing the Eagles soaring harmonies while executing the guitar parts and rhythm track to perfection, "Desperado" challenges the listener to tell the difference between what is being played live and the original versions of the songs. Leader and founding member Aaron Broering spent years putting together just the right combination of musicians to fulfill his dream of performing these well-crafted songs with the highest of skill. Recruiting performers who have traveled the world performing with The Beach Boys, David Ruffin of the Temptations, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, and with Eagles Timothy B Schmit, Don Felder, and J.D. Souther, Desperado truly is "The Premier Eagles Tribute." Tribute to The Eagles is the third in the 2017 "Tribute Mania" concert series that is helping bring the Historic Hemet Theatre back to life.

    NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 Copyright © 2017 The Nielsen Company 1 Welcome to the annual Nielsen Music Year End Report for Canada, providing the definitive 2016 figures and charts for the music industry. And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, George Michael ... the list goes on. And yet, despite the sadness of these losses, there is much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall consumption of album sales, song sales and audio on-demand streaming volume is up 5% over 2015, fueled by an incredible 203% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business. 2016 also marked the highest vinyl sales total to date. It was an incredible year for Canadian artists, at home and abroad. Eight different Canadian artists had #1 albums in 2016, led by Drake whose album Views was the biggest album of the year in Canada as well as the U.S. The Tragically Hip had two albums reach the top of the chart as well, their latest release and their 2005 best of album, and their emotional farewell concert in August was something we’ll remember for a long time. Justin Bieber, Billy Talent, Céline Dion, Shawn Mendes, Leonard Cohen and The Weeknd also spent time at #1. Break out artist Alessia Cara as well as accomplished superstar Michael Buble also enjoyed successes this year.

  • Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (Guest Post)*
    “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (guest post)* The Eagles In 1971, the arrival of The Eagles signaled a major shift in popular musical tastes in America. If Woodstock was the funeral for both the music and the culture of a decade of drugged out, hippie, free love and cultish idealism, the Seventies was the decade of blatant decadence, political cynicism, sexual distrust, and rampant narcissism. No band represented both the rejection of the Sixties and the celebration of the Seventies more than its crown princes, the Eagles. Songs like “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Witchy Woman,” “One of These Nights,” and “Already Gone,” filled with spirited playing, close harmonies and an overlay of the Eagles’ war between the sexes, comprise four of the ten selections included in the initial compilation of Eagles’ hit songs from their first four albums, “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975).” Ironically, although the Eagles’ laid-back sound was bright and natural as Southern California sunshine, none of the original four members were Golden State natives (Don Henley, vocalist, lyricist, drummer, was from Texas, bred on bluegrass and country music; Glenn Frey, vocalist, lyricist, rhythm guitar, pianist, came from the streets of Detroit, influenced by the music of Motown and mentored by Bob Seger; Randy Meisner, on bass, was a veteran bar band night sider out of Nebraska; Bernie Leadon, guitar, mandolin, banjo, was a Minnesotan who loved and loved to play classic country). Each migrated separately to Los Angeles, like lemmings, to The Troubadour, the musical and cultural ground zero club on Santa Monica Boulevard, owned and operated by Doug Weston, who favored putting on his stage country-rock bands and female vocalists.

Med låtar som ”Hotel California”, ”One of These Nights,” ”Desperado”, ”Take It Easy” och ”New Kid In Town”är amerikanerna inte bara countryrockens största band genom tiderna – gruppen har gjort ett antal album som tillhör de bäst säljande alla genrer räknade. Eagles bildades 1971 av Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Bernie Leadon och Randy Meisner, som alla då spelade i kompbandet bakom sångerskan Linda Ronstadt. Debutalbumet “Eagles” släpptes den 1 januari 1972. Med ”One of These Nights” kom 1975 det stora internationella genombrottet. Med ”Hotel California” befästes positionen som fixstjärnor. I Sverige kom listgenombrottet 1976 med samlingen ”Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975” respektive nämnda ”Hotel California”. 1977 framträdde man i Sverigedebuten på Gröna Lund i Stockholm inför en publik som inkluderade ABBA:s alla medlemmar. 1979 nåddes den första svenska listettan, med ”The Long Run.” Bandet splittrades 1980 varefter i synnerhet Don Henley gjorde succé som soloartist. Först 1994 återförenades bandet och den följande turnén resulterade i livealbumet “Hell Freezes Over.” “Long Road out of Eden” blev i oktober 2007 bandets första studioalbum på 27 år, det följdes 2008 av två utsålda Globenföreställningar i Stockholm. 2009 framträdde man på Malmö Stadion, 2011 följdes det upp med en spelning inför 20 000 på Norrporten Arena i Sundsvall.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.
