Sirius is kicking off a new feature across multiple music channels with the creation of Sirius Music News. Featuring their own music news gathering team, Sirius Music News will provide exclusive interviews, timely news and insight in the world of music.

Daily reports will be available on SIRIUS Hits-1, The Pulse, Hair Nation, Shade 45, Hip-Hop Nation and New Country.

The legendary NYC rock club, CBGB, is hosting its final performance ever and SIRIUS Satellite Radio is broadcasting it live on SIRIUS Disorder (ch 24). Patti Smith who first played CBGB in February 1975, will be aired live on Disorder at 9pm ET, on Sunday October 15th.

The famed club is closing following unsuccessful rent negotiations with its landlord. News of its demise prompted worldwide press coverage and sparked several campaigns to save the musical landmark. Tickets to the October 15 final show with Smith were sold out in 8 minutes, according to CBGB’s founder and owner, Hilly Kristal. 

For over 33 years many thousands of music lovers have flocked to the Bowery bar that became famous as the birthplace of American punk music. Originally intended to present country, bluegrass and blues music shows (which is what CBGB stands for), the club became known for pioneering performances by New York rock and punk acts including Smith, Television, Blondie and The Ramones, to name a few.

Jimmy Buffett will be previewing his upcoming new album, Take the Weather With You, on SIRIUS Satellite Radio's Radio Margaritaville (ch 31), this Wednesday, October 4th at 6pm ET.

Some of you Buffett fans might have actually heard a few of the new songs during his 2006 concert tour, because every show was covered live on SIRIUS.

Replays of Jimmy's album preview will be on October 6th at 12pm ET, October 8th at 3pm ET, October 10th at 9pm ET and October 11th at 5pm ET.
