		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Bruce Springsteen </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><b>Jon Bon Jovi</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are set to appear in </span><b>Music America:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The Songs That Shaped Us, a two-night concert event scheduled for June 4 and 5 at the OceanFirst Bank Center on the campus of Monmouth University in New Jersey. The event is being presented in connection with </span><b>America’s 250th anniversary and is curated by the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The announced lineup also includes Gary Clark Jr., Public Enemy, Kenny Chesney, Rosanne Cash, Jackson Browne, Dropkick Murphys, Darlene Love, Nils Lofgren, Stevie Van Zandt, Mavis Staples, and Dion. Organizers say the performances will spotlight landmark songs from across American music, with blues, bluegrass, rock, hip-hop, folk, jazz, country, and gospel all represented.</span><b> The Disciples of Soul will serve as the house band.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robert Santelli, executive director of the Springsteen Center and executive producer of the concerts, said the shows are meant to reflect the breadth of American music and its connection to the country’s shared cultural history. The concerts will take place just ahead of the center’s planned June 7 opening. General public ticket sales for both shows begin April 21 at noon Eastern, with each night sold separately.</span></p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Joe Perry </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">said </span><b>Aerosmith </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">is still discussing future plans, but a return to touring is not currently in focus. The update comes after the band canceled its farewell tour following </span><b>Steven Tyler’s vocal injury.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In recent comments, Perry said Tyler has only recently started feeling comfortable singing again after a long recovery period. He made clear that the band is not announcing a tour, but said members are still in contact and looking at what might be possible beyond full-scale live dates.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That leaves </span><b>Aerosmith’s next step uncertain.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Any future activity would likely depend on Tyler’s continued recovery and what the band feels is realistic. Perry did not point to a specific project, timeline, or format, but his remarks suggest the group has not fully closed the door on doing something together.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For now, the main development is that Aerosmith remains in discussion, even if touring is not part of the immediate plan.</span></p>
