Maryland rockers CLUTCH are teaming up with HELLYEAH for a North American Co-Headlining Tour. Clutch is one of the most consistently inventive riff factories in heavy music. Early salvos focused on sludgy, hardcore-fueled ferocity, but the band's sound has evolved to embrace psych, blues, gritty funk, and Southern-rock swagger.

Switchfoot's roots can be traced - back to the beaches of San Diego in the mid-'90s, when they connected as surfers. They decided to form a band and chose the name Switchfoot, a surfing term. After putting themselves through months of sweaty garage band workouts, they hit the road. After just 20 gigs, they signed a deal and released Legend of Chin in 1997, then released three more albums before making their major label debut in 2003. Switchfoot has released four more studio albums since that time, including the latest Vice Verses, which include the singles "Dark Horses" and "Restless." -

Franz Joseph Haydn’s oratorio The Creation is considered his greatest work. Depicting and celebrating the creation of the world as described in the biblical book of Genesis and in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the oratorio has three parts: first, devoted to the elements; second, to animals and man; and third, to an earthly paradise. Composed for soloists – personifying Archangels in the first two parts, Adam and Eve in the third – a four-part mixed chorus and large classical orchestra, this performance of Haydn’s masterwork, directed by Dr. Guy Webb, will feature the Missouri State University Music Department’s combined choirs; soloists Carol Chapman (soprano), Sean Spyres, (tenor) and Chris Thompson (bass); and the MSU Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Robert Quebbeman.
