With iconography as distinctive as their sound\, ZZ TOP is virtually synonymous with beards\, hotrod cars\, spinning guitars and that magic keychain\, all of which transcend geography and language. The band consists of singer/guitarist Billy F Gibbons\, drummer Frank Beard (a/k/a “The Man With No Beard”) and bassist Elwood Francis\, who stepped up in 2021 after the passing of longtime member Dusty Hill. With the release of each of their albums the band has explored new ground in terms of both their sonic approach and the material they’ve recorded. ZZ TOP is the same but always changing.   \nTheir latest album RAW (Shelter Records/BMG\, July 2022) was recorded at the historic Texas venue Gruene Hall as part of the filming for the 2019 Grammy-nominated documentary directed by Sam Dunn\, aptly titled ZZ Top: That Little Ol’ Band From Texas. Billy\, Frank and Dusty blazed through 12 career-spanning tunes in what their guitarist calls “a satisfying return to our roots and a very special circumstance that we’re delighted to share with the friends and fans who have stuck with us all this time.” The album is issued “in righteous memory” of Dusty\, and in conjunction with their 50+ date 2022 North American RAW WHISKY TOUR. The tour’s title is partially derived from the new ZZ Top Tres Hombres Whisky offered from Balcones Distilling.   \nIt was in Houston in the waning days of 1969 that ZZ TOP coalesced from the core of two rival bands\, Billy’s Moving Sidewalks and Frank and Dusty’s American Blues. The new group went on to record the appropriately titled ZZ Top’s First Album and Rio Grande Mud that reflected their strong blues roots.  Their third\, 1973’s Tres Hombres\, catapulted them to national attention with the hit “La Grange\,” still one of the band’s signature pieces today. The song is unabashed elemental boogie\, celebrating the institution that came to be known as “the best little whorehouse in Texas.” Their next hit was “Tush\,” a song about\, well\, let’s just say the pursuit of “the good life” that was featured on their Fandango! album\, released in 1975. The band’s momentum and success built during its first decade\, culminating in the legendary “World Wide Texas Tour\,” a production that included a longhorn steer\, a buffalo\, buzzards\, rattlesnakes and a Texas-shaped stage. As a touring unit\, they’ve been without peer over the years\, having performed before millions of fans through North America on numerous epochal tours as well as overseas where they’ve enthralled audiences from Slovenia to Argentina\, from Australia to Sweden\, from Russia to Japan and most points in between.   \nFollowing a lengthy hiatus during which the individual members of the band traveled the world\, they switched labels (from British Decca’s London label to Warner Bros.) and returned with two amazingly provocative albums\, Deguello and El Loco. Their next release\, Eliminator\, was something of a paradigm shift for ZZ TOP. Their roots blues skew was intact but added to the mix were tech-age trappings that soon found a visual outlet with the nascent MTV. Suddenly\, Billy\, Dusty and Frank were video icons\, playing a kind of Greek chorus in videos that highlighted the album’s three smash singles: “Gimme All Your Lovin’\, “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs.” The melding of grungy guitar-based blues with synth-pop was seamless and continued with the follow-up album Afterburner as they continued their chart juggernaut. ZZ TOP had accomplished the impossible; they had moved with the times while simultaneously bucking ephemeral trends that crossed their path. They had become more popular and more iconic without ever having to be “flavor of the week.” They had become a certified rock institution\, contemporary in every way\, yet still completely connected to the founding fathers of the genre.  \nThey stayed with Warner for one more album\, Recycler\, released in 1990 and switched to RCA where they debuted with Antenna and followed with Rhythmeen\, XXX and Mescalero. Beyond that\, both a lavish four CD box set compilation\, Chrome\, Smoke & B.B.Q. and a two-CD distillation of that package\, Rancho Texicano\, were released by Warner.  \nIn 2012\, ZZ TOP unveiled LA FUTURA\, their first studio album in nine years.  Produced by Rick Rubin and Billy F Gibbons\, and released on American Recordings\, it reflected the solid blues inspiration that has powered the band since the very beginning with a contemporary approach that underscored the group’s inclination to experiment and explore new sonic vistas.  The album included the widely lauded “I Gotsta Get Paid” that has become both a video and in-concert sensation.  ZZ Top’s rich history became the subject of a box set release the following year.  ZZ Top: The Complete Studio Albums 1970-1990 offered no fewer than 10 of the band’s most lauded albums all with the original mixes restored.   \nZZ TOP’s career retrospective The Very Baddest surfaced in 2014. It spans the entire course of their London\, Warner Bros. and RCA years. Listeners can follow the evolution of the band’s sound from the early ‘70s into the ‘00s on either a 40 track double CD or a 20 track single CD. That same year Eagle Rock Entertainment released Live at Montreux 2013 on both Blu-ray and DVD formats\, showcasing their live act\, leaving no doubt as to why they have been such a huge concert draw for the last several decades. When it comes to the live experience\, they’ve still got it.  \n2016 saw the release of ZZ TOP’s Live! Greatest Hits From Around The World album on Suretone\, consisting of 15 songs recorded live in 13 cities across three continents. Guitar legend Jeff Beck joins the band on stage in his native London for two songs – “Rough Boy\,” and a cover of Tennessee Ernie Ford’s “Sixteen Tons\,” the latter of which was inspired by a hoax YouTube video claiming to be ZZ TOP and Jeff Beck playing that very song. Their rendition matches the hoax video\, in what Billy describes as “a mega meta kinda thang.”     \nThe elements that keep ZZ TOP fresh\, enduring and above the transitory fray can be summed up in the three words of the band’s internal mantra: “Tone\, Taste and Tenacity.” Of course\, the three members of the band have done their utmost to do their part in assuring that ZZ TOP prevails. As genuine roots musicians\, they have few peers. Billy is widely regarded as one of American finest blues guitarists working in the rock idiom. His influences are both the originators of the form – Muddy Waters\, B.B. King\, et al – as well as the British blues rockers who emerged the generation before ZZ’s ascendance. In his early days of playing\, no less an idol than Jimi Hendrix singled him out for praise. Part mad scientist\, part prankster\, he’s a musical innovator of the highest order and a certified “guitar god.” He also had a recurring small screen presence in the hit TV series Bones in which he played a bearded\, gruff\, rock guitarist. No type casting problems for Billy.   \nFrank has also been keeping the beat in that great tradition.  As both a roots and progressive drummer\, he has been acknowledged as key to the band’s powerful on-stage and in-studio presence. He and Dusty\, in their early years together\, served as Lightnin’ Hopkins’ rhythm section which\, as Frank tells it\, was a life changing experience.  Frank\, despite his last name\, is the guy in the band without a beard.  But when you’re with him\, you’re with a Beard.  He’s a rockin’ paradox who provides the pulse of ZZ TOP.  \n Elwood has been part of the ZZ Top family for the better part of three decades as the band’s guitar tech. In July 2021\, when Dusty took a temporary leave to deal with a chronic hip injury\, Elwood was asked to step in for Dusty until his return\, which unfortunately was not to be. Dusty’s untimely passing opened the way for Elwood to become ZZ’s permanent bassist. Although the absolute legend that is and always will be Dusty Hill can never be replaced\, Elwood’s exceptional musicianship more than qualifies him to take over as the band’s bass player.   \nZZ TOP’s music is always instantly recognizable\, eminently powerful\, profoundly soulful and 100% Texas American in derivation.  The band’s support for the blues is unwavering both as interpreters of the music and preservers of its legacy.  It was ZZ TOP that celebrated “founding father” Muddy Waters by turning a piece of scrap timber than had fallen from his sharecropper’s shack into a beautiful guitar\, dubbed the “Muddywood.” This totem was sent on tour as a fundraising focus for The Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale\, Mississippi\, site of Robert Johnson’s famed “Crossroads” encounter with the devil.  ZZ TOP’s support and link to the blues remains as rock solid as the music they continue to play.  They have sold millions of records over the course of their career\, have been officially designated as Heroes of The State of Texas\, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (by Keith Richards\, no less) and have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms and are true rock icons but\, against all odds\, they’re really just doing what they’ve always done. They’re real and they’re surreal and they’re ZZ TOP.  \n  \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE SUMMIT” tab_id=”1727184715487-f49bc988-47ad”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Spawned out of Southern Ohio\, THE SUMMIT has rapidly risen to become one of the country’s most sought-after touring bands having toured with legendary acts like ZZ Top\, Collective Soul\, and REO Speedwagon of the past few years.

With a string of #1 classics\, including the most played song in radio history\, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin\,'” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield topped the charts in four decades. After Bobby’s death in 2003\, Bill Medley continued to perform to sold-out crowds around the world\, but fans and friends pleaded with him to keep The Righteous Brothers alive. Says Medley\, “No one could ever take Bobby’s place\, but when I caught Bucky Heard’s show it all came together — I found the right guy to help me recreate the magic.”  \nThe Bill Medley/Bucky Heard pairing came as something of a happy accident. Medley says it just seemed right.  \n“I’d been friends with Bucky for years\, but when I caught his show he just killed me! The next day it hit me — that’s the guy\, someone I could sing hard with\, laugh hard with\, love and respect — on and off stage. He fits The Righteous Brothers live performance show perfectly. And\, we’ve even recorded some new material together\, I’m really excited!”[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTISTS” tab_id=”1729518214874-e6aaee0c-d061″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”] BILL MEDLEY is truly one of the iconic figures in American music history. His instantly recognizable baritone voice has anchored some of the biggest recordings of all time. He’s won a Grammy\, an Oscar\, a Golden Globe\, and an American Music Award.  \nThe Orange County\, CA native began writing songs as a boy and had his breakout as a songwriter and singer when\, in 1963\, the Medley-penned Little Latin Lupe Lu became a regional hit for Bill and Bobby Hatfield\, as their first release as The Righteous Brothers. Other regional hits followed: “Justine\,” “Koko Joe\,” and “My Babe\,” which led to a regular spot on ABC-TV’s national Shindig! broadcast. Shindig‘s smash success coincided with The Righteous Brothers opening for both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones on their first US tours.  \nSoon\, The Righteous Brothers caught producer Phil Spector’s attention and he signed them to record what would become\, according to BMI\, the most played song in the history of American radio — the Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil classic\, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin.'” A string of top hits followed until 1968 when Medley and Hatfield agreed to part ways to pursue solo efforts. Medley soon scored with top ten hits\, “Peace\,” “Brother\,” and “Brown-eyed Woman.” In 1974\, Bill and Bobby re-united and within a few weeks had yet another monster hit with Rock and Roll Heaven.  \nFrom then until Bobby’s passing in 2003\, The Righteous Brothers never stopped performing to packed crowds. During that period\, Bill also recorded the chart-topping duet with Jennifer Warnes\, “The Time of My Life\,” for the movie Dirty Dancing. It went on to sell over 32 million copies worldwide. In 2003\, shortly before Bobby passed away\, Righteous Brothers fan Billy Joel inducted the pair into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a glowing 7-minute speech.  \nAlways active and stretching his creative talents\, Medley has also sung on the soundtracks or performed the theme songs for 33 movies and TV shows and\, in 2014\, released his memoir\, The Time of My Life\, published by Da Capo Press.  \n  \nBUCKY HEARD is an Alabama native and Auburn University alum. He’s been one of the most popular and versatile performers in America for several years\, headlining countless shows in major venues. His reputation as a gutsy rock and roll singer\, with an incredible vocal range\, has garnered much critical praise and a legion of fans.  \nHe’s been hand-selected to share the concert stage with legends\, like Andy Williams and Glen Campbell\, and honored as “Male Vocalist of the Year” by entertainment publications. Credited with being one of the hardest working and in-demand performers\, Bucky has rocked his way across America with his 10-piece horn band\, and also starred in numerous national production shows. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe631b-46bd”]FacebookYoutubeSpotify[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722440155231{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).
