In 2008, she recorded a duet with Jason Mraz, “Lucky,” which won a Grammy. In 2009, Caillat released her second album, “Breakthrough,” which was nominated for two Grammy Awards. She has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide and more than 10 million singles. Her new album, “All of You,” has already garnered two top-10 hits with “I Do” and “Brighter Than The Sun,” which hit No. 1 on March 24. GAVIN DEGRAW’S debut album “Chariot” was released in 2003, sold more than 1 million copies and featured his first No. 1 hit, “I Don’t Want to Be,” along with “Chariot” and “Follow Through.” DeGraw’s second album, self-titled “Gavin DeGraw” was released in 2008 and debuted at No. 1 on the digital sales chart.

Most recently, millions of viewers watched DeGraw compete this year in ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

Joe Walsh LB DAY COMCAST AMPHITHEATRE JOE WALSH has been a member of three commercially successful bands: the James Gang, Barnstorm, and one of the most successful rock acts of all time and America’s biggest band, the Eagles. He also has experienced success as a solo artist and prolific session musician, especially with B.B. King, Dan Fogelberg, Warren Zevon, The Beach Boys, Steve Winwood, Bob Seger and Lionel Richie. In 1975, Walsh joined the Eagles as lead guitarist, vocalist and keyboard player, writing or singing lead vocals on some of their biggest hits, including “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Pretty Maids All in a Row,” “In The City,” “Last Good Time In Town,” “One Day at a Time,” “Life’s Been Good” and “All Night Long.” Walsh recently released his 10th solo album “Analog Man.”
Friday, Aug. 31
Jeff Dunham LB DAY COMCAST AMPHITHEATRE JEFF DUNHAM, “America’s favorite comedian,” is a ventriloquist and standup comedian who also has appeared on numerous television shows, including “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Comedy Central Presents,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “Sonny with a Chance.” He has four specials that run on Comedy Central: “Jeff Dunham: Arguing with Myself,” “Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity,” “Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special” and “Jeff Dunham: Controlled Chaos.” Dunham has been credited with reviving ventriloquism and doing more to promote the art form than anyone since Edgar Bergen. Dunham is the top-grossing stand-up act in North America and among the most successful acts in Europe as well. He has sold more than 10 million DVDs, sold millions in merchandise sales and received more than 350 million hits on YouTube (his introduction of Achmed the Dead Terrorist in “Spark of Insanity” was ranked as the ninth-most-watched YouTube video at the time). “Very Special Christmas Special” was the most-watched telecast in Comedy Central history, with its DVD going quadruple platinum (selling more than 4 million copies) in the first two weeks.

Demi Lovato with special guest
Hot Chelle Rae LB DAY COMCAST AMPHITHEATRE
DEMI LOVATO is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, musician and actress who has won 24 awards, including Teen Choice, People's Choice and MTV Music Awards. As an actress, she became well known for her starring roles in the “Camp Rock” movies, as Sonny Munroe in the Disney sitcom “Sonny with a Chance” and as the star of the 2009 movie “Princess Protection Program.” As a solo musical artist, Lovato released her debut album “Don’t Forget” in 2008. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, selling more than 500,000 copies. Her second album, “Here We Go Again” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Album Chart. Her third studio album, “Unbroken,” was released Sept. 20, 2011, and contained her highest career debut the top-10 hit single “Skyscraper.” She is now working on her fourth album and has released a new single, “Give Your Heart A Break.” Lovato also is involved in philanthropic activities through charity work and various social and environmental causes. HOT CHELLE RAE was named after a MySpace stalker who provided the band with a rather entertaining era of online activity until her false identity was brought to light. The first single from Hot Chelle Rae’s album, “Whatever,” was released in 2011; “Tonight Tonight” was a huge hit that sold more than 2 million copies and made it all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Pop charts. The band’s next single, “I Like It Like That,” featuring New Boyz was a top-20 hit, and it debuted in Billboard’s chart with the new single “Honestly.” In summer 2007, the band hit the road and opened a sold-out concert for rapper Lil Jon. Most recently, Hot Chelle Rae has been opening concerts for Taylor Swift in her world tour, “Speak Now.” The band also has performed on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” with Ryan Seacrest and this year’s Pro Bowl ceremonies. With more than 844,000 “likes” on Facebook, the band’s well on its way to the million mark.

In 2011, Owen achieved his first No. 1 on the country charts with the title track to his third album, "Barefoot Blue Jean Night," and has followed that up this year with the multiweek No. 1 hit song “Alone With You.” Owen has also toured with some of the biggest country acts, including Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Little Big Town, Sugarland and Keith Urban.
