THE AMERICANA AT BRAND

* AUG. 5 at 8 p.m. - Known for her smash hits "A Thousand Miles" and "Ordinary
Day," three-time Grammy nominee Vanessa Carlton will kick-off the summer concert
series at The Americana at Brand. The talented musician exploded onto the scene
in 2002 with "Be Not Nobody" and received Grammy nominations for Record of the
Year, Song of the Year and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist.
Her latest album, "Heroes and Thieves," showcases the maturing talents of the
26-year-old singer/songwriter/pianist.
* AUG. 12 at 8 p.m. - Ashley Tisdale, from the mega-hit High School Musical
franchise, will make her debut at The Americana at Brand performing songs from
her new album, "Guilty Pleasure." The album, released by Warner Bros. Records on
July 28, has an edgy, guitar-driven pop-rock sound, a creative and mature leap
forward for this appealing young singer and songwriter. The young star recently
received a 2009 MTV Movie Award in the Breakthrough Performance, Female category
for her role in High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

THE GROVE

* AUG. 19 at 8 p.m. - Grammy Award-winner and four-time nominee Michelle Branch
has captivated audiences for years with her distinguished vocals and heartfelt
guitar playing. The musician won critical acclaim when she teamed up with
Santana to record the mega-hit "The Game of Love" which won a Grammy Award for
Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals as well as for her first country smash hit
album "Stand Still, Look Pretty" by The Wreckers that was nominated for both a
CMA Award and a Grammy. Her most recent effort is the compelling "Everything
Comes and Goes."
* AUG. 26 at 8 p.m. - Gavin Rossdale will rock The Grove performing songs from
his debut solo album "WANDERlust," including his hit single "Love Remains the
Same." Gavin Rossdale is best known as the singer/songwriter/guitarist for the
British post-grunge rock band Bush. The band`s hit debut album "Sixteen Stone"
produced chart-topping singles such as "Glycerine," "Comedown" and
"Machinehead," leading Bush to the forefront of modern rock in the mid-90s.

Palm Pre, the first phone running the new Palm webOS platform, brings together
your important information from where it resides - on your phone, at your work
or on the web - into one logical view(1). Palm Synergy, a key feature of webOS,
pulls your contacts and calendars from places like Outlook, Google and Facebook,
so everything is right there for you when you need it. Palm Pre also lets you
flip back and forth between all the things you have open at once-instead of
opening and closing them-so you can flow easily between activities without
losing your place. Palm Pre`s exquisite design includes a touch screen and a
physical keyboard that slides out only when needed. More information about Palm
and the new Palm Pre may be obtained by visiting online at www.palm.com.
