Additionally\, she’s an acclaimed author\, with her 2010 memoir Composed receiving widespread praise and landing on The New York Times bestseller list. \nA catalyst in the music community\, the singer-songwriter frequently gathers American roots music luminaries for various events and contributes significantly to documenting modern music history. Notably\, in 2021\, Cash made history as the first female composer to receive the MacDowell Medal\, an honor bestowed since 1960 on artists who have made exceptional contributions to American culture.  \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]PROGRAM[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTIST” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbed422-a206″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]One of the country’s pre-eminent singer-songwriters\, ROSANNE CASH has released 15 albums of extraordinary songs that have earned four Grammy Awards and 12 additional nominations. Cash is also an author whose four books include the best-selling memoir Composed\, which the Chicago Tribune called “one of the best accounts of an American life you’ll likely ever read.” Her essays have appeared in The New York Times\, Rolling Stone\, Oxford American\, The Nation\, and many more print and online publications. Her most recent book\, Bird on a Blade (2018)\, was published by the University Of Texas Press\, combining images by acclaimed artist Dan Rizzie with Cash’s lyrics. In addition to regular touring\, Cash has partnered in programming collaborations with Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, SFJAZZ\, the Minnesota Orchestra\, and the  Library of Congress. She served as artist-in-residence at New York University and in 2018 and 2023 she was a resident artistic director at SFJAZZ.  Along with many other honors and awards\, Cash received the 2021 Edward MacDowell Medal\, awarded since 1960 to an artist who has made an outstanding contribution to American culture. She is the first woman composer to receive this prestigious honor. Last month she was elected as an Honorary American member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.  \n“I consider artists to be in the service industry; the premier service industry for the heart and soul. I am curious to a pathological degree and the Sword of Time hangs over me\, and those two things— curiosity and the hourglass— make me feel more urgent than ever to connect\, to find community\, and to create. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks\, it only matters that what is unsaid and what is unseen is given form and has a voice.” \nLate last year\, Rosanne and her husband\, guitarist John Leventhal (6 Grammys)\, also her songwriting\, producing and performing partner\, launched a new record label\, RumbleStrip Records to reexamine and rerelease Rosanne’s early period recordings originally on Columbia/Sony Music. A 30th Anniversary remastered edition of the Cash/Leventhal produced album The Wheel was the inaugural release followed by John Leventhal’s very first solo album entitled Rumble Strip in late January.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbed422-a206″]FacebookInstagramSpotify[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439452038{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).

SUMMARY:Allman Betts Family Revival
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row equal_height=”yes” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column width=”3/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm”]BUY TICKETS BUY SUBSCRIPTION ABOUT POLICIES [vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]\nMcClure\, McClure & Bailey and The Danville Friends of The Allman Brothers\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1716562009469{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”about”][vc_column]ALLMAN BETTS FAMILY REVIVAL[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Featuring Devon Allman\, Duane Betts\, Luther Dickinson\, Cody Dickinson\, Jimmy Hall\, Anders Osborne\, Larry McCray\, Lindsay Lou\, Jackie Greene\, Lamar Williams\, Jr.\, and Alex Orbison\, with special guests John Moreland\, Robert Randolph\, and Sierra Green. \nGet ready for nearly three unforgettable hours filled with the iconic music of Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts! The Allman Betts Family Revival is a live event extravaganza hosted by Devon Allman and Duane Betts. The concert brings together the finest names in blues\, Americana\, country\, and rock to celebrate the timeless catalog of the legendary Allman Brothers Band. Sponsored by Gibson Guitars\, the coast to coast tour has become known as “the jam of the year.” \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”About”][vc_column]PROGRAM[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND” tab_id=”1733843663390-d9b77f71-7bdf”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Individually\, they’re DEVON ALLMAN and DUANE BETTS\, two solo artists and modern-day guitar heroes who’ve both spent years creating their own version of American roots music. \nTogether\, they’re the leaders of The Allman Betts Band\, a supergroup anchored by sharp songwriting\, fiery fretwork\, and an historic legacy. Inspired by the classic sounds of the group’s family tree\, The Allman Betts Band makes timeless rock & roll for the modern world\, blurring the boundaries between blues\, Americana\, and southern soul. Over the course of two critically-acclaimed studio albums\, hundreds of live shows\, and annual performances of the Allman Betts Family Revival\, The Allman Betts Band has established its own legacy of music and brotherhood. \nDevon and Duane first met as children in 1989\, when their fathers — keyboardist Gregg Allman and guitarist Dickey Betts\, both co-founders of The Allman Brothers Band — brought their boys on tour for the group’s 20th anniversary tour. “When you grow up on tour like that\, it connects you at a young age\,” Duane says. “From that point on\, we knew we were family. Even though we never lived in the same city\, we always had that bond.” \nIn late 2017\, Devon and Duane found themselves onstage at the Fillmore in San Francisco — a performance that would birth not only The Allman Betts Family Revival tradition\, but also The Allman Betts Band itself. “That night would’ve been my father’s 70th birthday\,” Devon recalls\, “so I put together a one-off concert to celebrate his life and his music. Duane joined me for some songs. Our families had been intertwined for years\, and we always knew we might form a band at some point in our lives. That show proved we had the chemistry to do it.” \nThe musical chemistry grew throughout 2018\, while the two songwriters played more than 100 shows across the world. Along the way\, they began writing new songs in hotel rooms and tour bus lounges\, creating their own version of the soulful\, guitar-fueled music they’d grow up loving. Flush with material\, The Allman Betts Band recorded its debut album\, Down to the River\, at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. The guys tracked the record live\, recording to two-inch analog tape without the use of computers or digital editing. Down to the River was released in 2019\, reaching Number 1 on the iTunes Rock Chart and cracking the Top 10 on multiple Billboard charts. \n“We built a fanbase very quickly\,” Devon says. “I think there was a need for our kind of music\, especially for people who loved bands like The Grateful Dead\, the Allman Brothers\, and the Rolling Stones. Those fans were excited to hear a newer band doing music in an old-school vein.” \nTo support the album’s release\, The Allman Betts Band launched a world tour on March\, 2019 — an historic date that marked the 50-year anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band’s first jam session in Jacksonville\, Florida. As the seven-piece band toured the world\, the musical connection between Devon and Duane grew deeper. They wrote new songs during the short breaks between shows. They collaborated on the third-annual Family Revival. They even found time to return to Muscle Shoals Sound Studios with producer Matt Ross-Spang\, with whom they recorded Bless Your Heart over a week’s time. \nWhen a global pandemic threatened to prevent The Allman Betts Band from touring behind Bless Your Heart\, the guys got creative\, playing socially-distanced gigs in cow pastures before launching an extensive drive-in tour. They hit a new stride in 2021\, when they played nearly 120 shows — including multiple performances with the Family Revival\, which they turned into a \ntraveling festival featuring an all-star lineup of guests. Artists like Robert Randolph\, Jimmy Hall\, Donovan Frankenreiter\, and G. Love joined them that year\, and when the Family Revival returned in 2022 for another run of shows\, the guys were joined by Luther Dickinson\, Maggie Rose\, and others. \n“The Family Revival started as a celebration of my father\, but it evolved into a Last Waltz-style reunion of players from our generation\, as well as up-and-coming talent\,” Devon explains. “It’s become a chance for all of us to come together\, play this precious catalog\, and galvanize our own generation of musicians. It’s something my Dad would’ve been proud of. I know that Duane’s dad is proud of it\, too.” \nMeanwhile\, The Allman Betts Band took some time off in 2022 and early 2023. During the hiatus\, Duane recorded and released Wild & Precious Life — his full-length debut as a solo artist — while Devon toured the country with Donavon Frankenreiter\, setting a new world record for playing 50 shows across all 50 states in 49 days. By the summer of 2023\, The Allman Betts Band had returned to the road\, ready to start a new chapter. The group expanded its lineup\, too\, with Allman and Betts now joined by guitarist Johnny Stachela\, bassist Justin Corgan\, keyboardist John Ginty\, percussionist/saxophonist David Gomez\, and drummers John Lum and Alex Orbison. \n“We’re keeping the tradition alive\,” says Duane. “The Allman Betts Band is an original band\, and our albums are the foundation of what we do\, but we’re also happy to include a couple tips-of-the-hat to my dad and Gregg Allman during our sets\, too. They’re part of our influences. They’re part of our history.” \nHistory\, indeed. There’s a rich lineage to The Allman Betts Band\, whose two leaders are carrying the musical torch once held by their fathers. This is a group of musicians who proudly live in the present\, though\, not the past. They make music for today\, creating a new soundtrack for the American South\, blurring the lines between genres along the way. There’s a bluesy Americana band with a teeth. They’re a rock & roll band with soul. They’re first-rate songwriters and top-shelf guitarists\, always searching for a new song to sing. They’re The Allman Betts Band.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbed6fa-69cc”]FacebookInstagramSpotify[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439953151{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).

Rock-and-Roll Hall of Famer Bill Medley joins forces with one of the most versatile vocalists in America\, Bucky Heard\, to bring the Righteous Brothers back to the stage! \nThe Righteous Brothers Lovin’ Feelin’ Farewell Tour promises a captivating musical odyssey\, spanning the early days of rock and roll and as far-reaching as the movie Dirty Dancing. From heartwarming ballads to energetic rock anthems\, every performance is a testament to the enduring power of The Righteous Brothers’ music and their connection to fans across the globe. \nTake a journey through decades of timeless hits that have defined a generation\, including “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin\,'” “Unchained Melody\,” “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life\,” “Soul and Inspiration\,” “Ebb Tide” and “Rock and Roll Heaven.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]PROGRAM[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”HISTORY” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe631b-46bd”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS are back! 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).

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.

The group’s albums and DVD releases have been consistent multi-platinum best-sellers\, and its concert tours continue to touch the hearts of a devoted audience that spans the globe. \nBoth an accomplished recording ensemble and a world-class performing collective\, Celtic Woman celebrates Ireland’s rich musical and cultural heritage\, while continuing its remarkable 16-year legacy of introducing some of Ireland’s most talented singers and musicians onto the world stage. \nCeltic Woman’s fresh fusion of traditional Irish music and contemporary songcraft celebrates Ireland’s history while reflecting the vibrant spirit of modern Ireland. The group’s repertoire encompasses Irish classics\, contemporary songs\, classical favorites and stirring originals. The lineup of performers has evolved in the years since the group’s inception\, but the signature sound of Celtic Woman has remained consistent\, showcasing the members’ individual and collaborative talents. \nCeltic Woman is comprised of four young Irish women whose performing skills bring centuries of musical and cultural tradition to life. In concert\, their angelic voices and instrumental virtuosity are accompanied by a robust ensemble that includes Irish dancers\, bagpipers and a full band playing an array of traditional Celtic instruments\, including bodhran\, tin whistle\, bouzouki and Uilleann pipes. \nCeltic Woman has sold over ten million CDs and DVDs\, making it the only all-female act to achieve multi-platinum success in the classical crossover and world music genres during the past decade. Named Billboard’s #1 World Music Artist of the Year six times\, twelve of the studio CDs have debuted at #1 on Billboard’s World Album chart. Celtic Woman has also scored two Top 10 debuts on Billboard’s influential album chart and five Top Five DVDs on Billboard’s Top Video chart\, as well as achieving platinum-level sales in nine countries. Their 2016 album release\, Destiny\, was nominated for a Grammy award in the category of Best World Music Album\, marking the group’s first-ever Grammy nomination. \nCeltic Woman continues to perform its sonically and visually stunning concerts in front of capacity crowds around the world\, having racked up cumulative ticket sales of over four million and performing for adoring crowds in 23 countries on six continents. \nNamed Celtic Woman to represent the essence of a Celtic female performer\, the group made its American television debut in early 2005 with a self-titled PBS concert special\, which captured a sold-out performance at the Helix in Dublin. Immediately thereafter\, Celtic Woman’s eponymous debut CD reached #1 on Billboard’s World Music Chart and occupied the top slot for an unprecedented 81 weeks. It remained there until the release of Celtic Woman’s second album\, 2006’s A Christmas Celebration\, which cemented Celtic Woman’s spot at the top for a total of 112 consecutive weeks. \nAlthough initially intended as a one-time-only event\, Celtic Woman’s music was so warmly received by the public that the group immediately followed with its first concert tour in the United States. Since then\, the group has maintained a strong presence on U.S. public television\, where its Emmy-nominated concert specials regularly dominate the audience-supported network’s viewer pledge drives.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeaa91-017b”]FacebookInstagramSpotifyYoutube[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h2″ css=”.vc_custom_1689884969418{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1689884027118{background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus” color=”#000000″]\nThank you to our 2023/2024 Season Partner G&J Pepsi. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1686325566538{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPANBPHEjwo”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” el_id=”accessibility”][vc_column]ACCESSIBILITYPlease note that the Norton Center is a historic venue with limited accessible seating.

They also scored a number one hit when they they were asked to recreate Queen’s harmonies for “The Real Life” with Fatboy Slim. \nBy now\, they were in demand in European arenas playing Ahoy\, where the now reformed Queen would be performing only a few months later. They were delighted to sell out Forest National Arena where Queen filmed the concert set piece videos such as Hammer To Fall and Don’t Stop Me Now. \nKiller Queen then joined forces with Bjorn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a Waverley Stadium show in Edinburgh. It was this performance that led to the band being selected to represent Queen in a re-staged tribute LiveAid concert held by Sir Bob Geldof. They performed with him at his arena charity concert to raise funds for the homeless. \nKiller Queen set their sights on America including the awe inspiring Red Rocks Arena in Colorado – one of the countries most prestigious venues. The Beatles\, Springsteen\, U2 have all played there and the band are delighted it’s become a regular sell out fixture on Killer Queen’s tour sheet. \nDuring 2020 the band released a single in the style of Queen written by Patrick. “We’ll Fight Again”delighted Queen fans all over the world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”PHOTO GALLERY” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeccd7-0993″][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”SOCIAL LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeccd7-0993″]FacebookInstagramYoutubeRSS[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h2″ css=”.vc_custom_1689884969418{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus” color=”#000000″]\nThank you to our 2023/2024 Season Partner G&J Pepsi. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1686325566538{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/QU3a0iOc5ZY”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” el_id=”accessibility”][vc_column]ACCESSIBILITYPlease note that the Norton Center is a historic venue with limited accessible seating.

Their sophomore release\, Pale\, was recorded independently in 1989. Both records were released by Columbia Records\, in 1989 and 1990 respectively. \nToad’s third studio album\, “Fear\,” followed in 1991 and included their multi-format iconic hit singles “All I Want” and “Walk on the Ocean”\, was certified RIAA Platinum and further solidified the band’s popularity and mainstream success. \nIn 1994 the band released “Dulcinea\,” which included songs “Something’s Always Wrong\,” and “Fall Down\,” both staples at alternative and mainstream radio\, that helped Toad to earn their second RIAA certified Platinum Album and make Toad the Wet Sprocket a household name. In 1995 Toad released In Light Syrup\, a collection of rarities that included the hit “Good Intentions”\, which was featured on the Platinum-selling Friends soundtrack. \nThe band took a break in the late 1990s\, with the members pursuing solo projects. However\, they reunited in 2006 and have continued to perform together ever since. In 2013\, they released their first album in 16 years\, “New Constellation\,” which was funded by their fans as one of the most successful music Kickstarter campaigns in history. The album includes fan-favorite tracks “The Moment”\, “California Wasted” and “Enough” that showcase the bands growth and versatility. The album received critical acclaim and was followed by a successful tour. \nToad’s most recent studio album “Starting Now” (2021) marked a return to form for the band\, with its catchy melodies\, introspective lyrics\, and signature harmonies. It well-received and showcased the band’s signature sound while also exploring new sonic territories. Songs like “Transient Whales”\, “Starting Now” and “Hold On” serve as core performance tracks at live shows and as fan favorites. \nThroughout their career\, Toad the Wet Sprocket has remained humble and grateful for the support of their fans. Lead vocalist Glen Phillips has stated in interviews that the band is amazed by the loyalty of their audience and is honored to continue creating music that resonates with them. \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”] \nWith a reputation for spectacular live performances\, the genesis of multi-platinum artist THE VERVE PIPE can be traced back to the early 90s when the principal members of two rival Michigan bands joined forces. After releasing two independent albums\, I’ve Suffered A Head Injury and Pop Smear\, the group quickly garnered a regional following for its textured rock songs distinguished by innovative arrangements\, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. \nIn addition to their success on radio\, TV and film\, sold-out concert dates throughout the U.S.\, Canada\, Europe and Australia\, features in Spin and Rolling Stone and videos on MTV and VH1\, the band have made numerous television appearances\, including ‘The Tonight Show With Jay Leno’ and ‘Late Night With David Letterman.’ \nAfter an eight year hiatus\, The Verve Pipe were approached to submit an original song for a compilation album of children’s music. That session inspired A Family Album\, their critically acclaimed introduction to the world of children’s music\, as well as their follow up release\, Are We There Yet?. Both albums contain music intended for the entire family\, with fun and inventive lyrics set to the memorable melodies the band is known for. \nThe Verve Pipe continue to tour\, performing both rock and kids shows throughout the U.S.\, including special appearances at Lollapalooza\, Austin City Limits Festival\, Hangout Music Festival\, SummerStage in Central Park\, and many more.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”PHOTO GALLERY” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeb5b9-27da”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”SOCIAL LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbeb5b9-27da”][vc_column_text text_align=”center”]Toad the Wet Sprocket[/vc_column_text]FacebookInstagramYoutubeRSS[vc_column_text text_align=”center”]The Verve Pipe[/vc_column_text]FacebookInstagramYoutubeRSS[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h2″ css=”.vc_custom_1689884969418{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus” color=”#000000″]\nThank you to our 2023/2024 Season Partner G&J Pepsi. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ el_id=”toadseatmap”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]\nPlease click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).
