The Iridium has confirmed two 'Jam for Japan' midnight charity shows with post-bop pianist Junko Onishi and special guests April 8 & 9.

While The Iridium stage has played a part in launching the careers of countless artists, it may be best known as The Home of Les Paul, who performed there weekly for more than 12 years until his passing in 2009. 'We all think that playing at the Iridium was Les' life-stretching experience,' says Jeff Beck, whose new DVD was filmed at The Iridium last June on what would have been Paul's 95th birthday.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast, the award-winning worldwide smash hit Broadway musical, is coming to Fort Worth as part of Broadway at the Bass.

After The Allman Brothers finish rocking The Beacon each weekend in March, head to The Iridium for midnight sets by some of the band's most celebrated side projects, collaborators, and associates, including Devon Allman's Honetryibe, Col. Bruce Hampton and Pharaoh Gummitt featuring Duane Trucks, and more.

Porn: The Musical won Best New Musical for its run at Theatre503 following a successful stint at Edinburgh 2009, and the Union Theatre's production of Assassins won Best Production and Best Sound Design while its production of Bells Are Ringing, starring Anna-Jane Casey, won Best Choreographer for the work of Alistair David.

The Iridium and The Morrison Hotel Gallery will partner Feb 24 & 25 to present two nights of music and imagery featuring first-call guitar master Danny Kortchmar--who played on seminal albums by Carole King, James Taylor, Warren Zevon, and Harry Nilsson--and rock photographer nonpareil Henry Diltz, who documented Kortchmar and many of the iconic artists he's performed with since the 1960's.

Featuring the extraordinary guitars of John D'Angelico, James D'Aquisto, and John Monteleone, this unprecedented exhibition of approximately 80 musical instruments will focus on the work of these modern-day master craftsmen and their roots in a long tradition of stringed instrument-making that has thrived for more than 400 years and that was first brought to New York from Italy around the turn of the 20th century.
