Elvis Costello Tickets:
Elvis Costello, born Declan Patrick MacManus, on August 25, 1954, is an English singer-songwriter of Irish heritage. He rose to prominence as an early participant in London's pub rock scene in the mid-1970s and became associated with the punk/New Wave genre. Costello is known for his broad vocabulary and the steep word play used in his lyrics. His music has drawn on many diverse genres with one critic describing him as a "pop encyclopedia." Costello was in several bands before signing to Stiff Records as a solo artist. His first single was "Less Than Zero," released in 1977, along with his debut album, "My Aim Is True." Stiff's records were initially distributed only in the UK, which meant that Costello's first album and singles were initially available in the U.S. as imports only. In order to change this, Costello was arrested for protesting outside a London convention of CBS Records executives that no US record company had seen fit to release his records in the United States. He signed to CBS's Columbia Records label in the US a few months later. Over his 30 plus year career, Costello has released over 30 studio albums as a solo artist and with the Attractions, the Imposters, and others. He has also released five live albums: "Live at the El Mocambo," "Deep Dead Blue," "Costello & Nieve," "My Flame Burns Blue," and "Live at Hollywood High." There have also been numerous compilations, box sets, and reissues by labels such as Rykodisc, Demon, Rhino, and Universal Music Enterprises. He has also collaborated with such artists as Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, Kid Rock, Brian Eno, Lucinda Williams, and Ruben Blades. He has written several articles for the magazine Vanity Fair, contributed to two Grateful Dead tribute albums, and covered Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter tunes such as "Ship of Fools," "Friend of the Devil," "It Must Have Been the Roses," and "Tennessee Jed" in concert. Costello also appeared in documentaries about singers Dusty Springfield, Brian Wilson, Wanda Jackson, and Memphis, Tennessee-based Stax Records. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #80 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
