CA Newsbites: Enya, Brooks & Dunn, Latin Grammys

Enya, who has never toured as a solo artist—she did as part of Clannad—is planning her first solo tour. Particulars are not known yet, but at least she has made up her mind to tour. As a perfectionist, she always thought that she could not duplicate her intricate, multi-layered recordings on stage. It is not sure if she will tour with an orchestra and choir.

Cledus T. Judd has signed on as court jester (actually emcee) of Brooks and Dunn's Neon Circus and Wild West Show tour. Others acts in the package are Toby Keith, Montgomery Gentry and Keith Urban.

The second annual Latin Grammy Awards will be held Sept. 12 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. Last year, the awards were held in Los Angeles. Miami wanted the show last year, but there was concern over the overall Cuban situation in Miami and what would happen if a Cuban artist won. Apparently, there are no longer those concerns.
