The summer tickets race is heating up as the weather gets warmer. TicketLiquidator remains as ever a fabulous source of Cheap tickets to shows, and they can even help you Sell tickets if you have extra. This summer, there are some class performers going on the road. See Tim McGraw and Faith Hill with Soul2soul tickets , or go watch their good friend with Kenny Chesney tickets .

One of the best concerts I ever saw was Leon Redbone. Redbone is a mysterious character, and nobody seems to know his true identity, but this only succeeds in ramping up the atmosphere at his gigs, which are always legendary. They say he was born in Cyprus to Armenian parents, but like everything else about him, this fact is unverifiable. The artist himself usually mounts the stage, using an ornate southern gentleman's cane, wearing a cream-colored suit, a straw boater and a pair of very dark glasses, thereby obscuring any attempt from curious fans to discern his inscrutable features. Rumors once spread that Redbone was in fact Frank Zappa, and there are those who once claimed he was actually legendary comic Andy Kaufman, both very plausible but sadly the deaths of those two performers ended the attendant rumors.

This year I saw a lot of concerts, I was lucky enough to travel around the country a bit and follow some of my favorite performers, seeing some of them more than twice!

Barbra Streisand is a hit, you have to see this show. Babs is back and better than ever.

Justin Timberlake is headed out, as is pop sensation Christina Aguilera. Both of them have rockin' new albums, so these tours should really sizzle.
