Hard Rock International presents
‘Hard Rock Calling’ Line Up for Sat 28th June 2008
with headliner Eric Clapton.
Eric Clapton's career has endured for more than 40 years, resulting in 18 Grammy Awards and he has earned the distinct honour of being the only triple inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Considered one of the world's finest guitarists, Clapton was a member of such seminal rock bands as Cream and Blind Faith as well as being highly recognised for his solo work. His recently released autobiography quickly became one of the best-selling rock memoirs of all time.
Over the course of her career, Sheryl Crow has collaborated with everyone from The Rolling Stones to Kid Rock to Willie Nelson. She has won countless awards (including nine Grammy Awards) and she has sold over 10 million albums worldwide. Sheryl continues writing new music and her latest album Detours (which is also her sixth studio record) comes out on February 18th. ‘Detours’ is lyrically the most politically and personally outspoken record of her career, addressing the current state of the world from different perspectives as well as some of the personal challenges she’s faced over the last few years.
John Mayer is an acclaimed American guitarist and singer-songwriter. His first two studio albums, Room for Squares and Heavier Things, both achieved multi-platinum status. In 2003, he won a Best Male Pop Vocal Performance Grammy for "Your Body Is a Wonderland." Mayer began his career performing mainly acoustic rock and pop, but gradually began a transition towards the blues genre in 2005 by collaborating with renowned blues artists such as B. B. King and forming the John Mayer Trio. The blues influence can be heard on his album Continuum, released in September 2006. Mayer won Best Pop Vocal Album for Continuum and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Waiting on the World to Change" at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards in 2007.
