VNUE, Inc. will be recording shows from the upcoming "Stars Align" tour with legendary vocalist Paul Rodgers — and making the recordings available for download within minutes after the last note each night via VNUE's set.fm mobile content delivery app and web site. A portion of the sales proceeds will benefit Willows Animal Sanctuary, a charity supported by Paul and his wife Cynthia Rodgers. The shows being recorded begin July 24 in Houston, Texas, and continue through August 26 in Tampa, Florida. Grammy-nominated Rodgers is a musical innovator who has successfully reinvented himself over the course of a five-decade career, in the legendary bands BAD COMPANY, FREE, THE FIRM, and the live collaboration QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS. Ranked as one of the greatest singers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, Paul is a multi-faceted creative force in the genres of rock, blues and classic rock. Paul is joining forces with fellow rocker Jeff Beck, co-headlining the "Stars Align" tour, with Ann Wilson of HEART also appearing. Opening the shows will be Deborah Bonham. "I had the pleasure to work with Paul and BAD COMPANY on their 40th-anniversary tour a few years ago with my DiscLive team," said Zach Bair, CEO of VNUE. "Paul's performance is nothing less than amazing and his voice and his swagger are just as amazing as it was back in the FREE days. We are completely stoked to be once again capturing the emotion of his performances and allowing fans to take home their experience with them." "VNUE's set.fm gives my fans the opportunity to relive the concert they attended again and again, and relive their special night with me forever," said Rodgers. "I'm very glad that by working with VNUE I'm able to offer this innovative way for my fans to take my show home with them!" Fans may pre-purchase the shows now by downloading the set.fm app from the Apple app store or Google Play.
