Rob Thomas, "Something To Be Tour - Live at Red Rocks" Coming to DVD

       MUSIC NEWS-   Rob Thomas announces the release in his first-ever live performance DVD.  Captured in High-Definition and mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound for the acclaimed PBS music series Soundstage, the 18-song concert features seven songs not aired on the original 2007 TV broadcast plus the music video for “Streetcorner Symphony.”  Rob Thomas and Matchbox Twenty fan can rejoice, ROB THOMAS: SOMETHING TO BE TOUR – LIVE AT RED ROCKS arrives in-stores simultaneously with Thomas’ new solo album (our on Emblem/Atlantic Records), cradlesong, produced by Matt Serletic , both on June 30, 2009.

In 2005, Rob Thomas’ first solo album, Something to Be debuted at #1 on the Billboard album chart and sold over 3 million copies, and produced the break-out single “Lonely No More”.  In June 2006, Rob Thomas reached a new peak (literally and figuratively) when his “Something To Be Tour” made a stop at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.  The setting proved an idyllic backdrop for Thomas’ set, which mixed Matchbox Twenty hits such as “3 AM” and “Bent” with tracks from his solo career including “This Is How A Heart Breaks” and “Ever the Same.”  The incredible performance also includes a special acoustic arrangement of “Smooth” and a cover of the David Bowie classic “Let’s Dance.”

In 2004, the Songwriters Hall of Fame presented Thomas with its premiere “Starlight Award” – created to recognize a songwriter in the early years of his or her career who has already made a lasting impact.  Thomas has written and performed a remarkable string of hits, including Matchbox Twenty’s #1-charting “Push,” “3AM,” “If You’re Gone,” “Bent,” “Disease,” and “Unwell,” plus such favorites as “Real World,” “Back 2 Good,” “Mad Season,” and “Bright Lights.”  His smash collaboration with Santana, the Thomas-penned “Smooth,” earned Rob three Grammy Awards and ranks #1 on Billboard’s “Top Hot 100 Rock Songs” chart and #2 on the magazine’s “Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs.”  He has also worked with the likes of Willie Nelson, Mick Jagger, Marc Anthony, and Bernie Taupin, among many others.
