SUMMARY:SWEET // PRESCOTT NILES' THE KNACK
DESCRIPTION:THE SWEET: The late great Steve Priest came out of retirement in 2007. Priest along with drummer Richie Onori\, and keyboardist\, vocalist Stevie Stewart assembled a group of top caliber national act musicians which Priest could proudly hail to be on the same equal footing and adeptness as the original lineup. For well over a decade his group entertained millions of music fans across the globe delivering high-quality performances every single night. His handpicked band with an unparalleled chemistry continues to forge ahead with the same vigor\, intensity & enthusiasm as always\, delivering the “Sweet” brand onward into the 21st century\, thus keeping Steve Priest’s vision and “Sweet’s” legacy fully intact!  Today\, the band consists of Stevie Stewart (Bass\, Keyboards & Co- Manager)\, Mitch Perry (Guitar)\, Richie Onori (Drummer & Co-Manager)\, Paulie Z (Front man) and Dave Schulz (Keyboardist).  Hear legendary songs including “Ballroom Blitz”\, ” “Fox On the Run”\, ” Love Is Like Oxygen”\, “Little Willy”\, Hell Raiser” and so many more! \nPRESCOTT NILE’S THE KNACK: Prescott Niles is the founding bassist whose unmistakable playing helped define The Knack’s signature sound—lean\, melodic\, and relentlessly propulsive. Long before the band’s meteoric rise\, Niles built a deep musical foundation\, recording with Hendrix associate Velvert Turner and later spending formative time in London\, where he hobnobbed with the likes of George Harrison. Those experiences sharpened a sensibility that would become central to The Knack: classic pop economy delivered with the punch of a seasoned live unit.  The Knack became a cultural surge powered by “My Sharona\,” propelled by Niles’ phenomenal bass march—its staccato pulse and locked-in momentum as iconic as the riff itself. “Good Girls Don’t\,” and deeper cuts \, “Let Me Out\,” “Your Number or Your Name\,” and “Maybe Tonight”—revealed a band fluent in dynamics\, melody\, and timeless songcraft\, with Niles’ musical pedigree and bass-first instincts shaping the snap\, swing\, and clarity of the arrangements. With the passing of several members and the retirement of another\, Prescott Niles now carries that legacy forward as the driving force behind “Prescott Niles’ The Knack”—an authentic continuation celebrating the sound that made the band essential. For longtime fans and new listeners alike\, it’s an opportunity to experience the classic songs with the founding bassist often credited as the band’s signature sound\, while also hearing new music composed by Niles himself—proof that the spirit of The Knack is not only preserved\, but still thriving and evolving. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:LOS LONELY BOYS with SPECIAL GUEST JAIK WILLIS
DESCRIPTION:For Los Lonely Boys—brothers Henry\, Jojo\, and Ringo Garza—family has always been at the heart of their music. After years of touring\, the trio took a break in 2019 to focus on their families\, returning to the road in 2022 reinvigorated and even opening for The Who. Hailing from San Angelo\, Texas\, the Garzas created their own bluesy “Texican rock & roll” sound and turned it into a global sensation. Their breakthrough came when Willie Nelson’s nephew discovered their demo; Willie soon booked them for Farm Aid and recorded with them at his studio. Their 2003 debut album\, Los Lonely Boys\, re-released by Epic\, featured the No. 1 hit “Heaven\,” which earned them a Grammy and spent 76 weeks on the Billboard Top 200\, selling over two million copies. They’ve collaborated with legends like Carlos Santana and Willie Nelson\, played iconic venues\, and supported global causes. Their journey\, chronicled in the documentary Cottonfields and Crossroads\, has seen both triumph and hardship—most notably Henry’s serious stage accident in 2013\, which led the band to refocus on what matters most: family and music. Now back in stride\, Los Lonely Boys continue to write\, record\, and tour with renewed passion. Their 2024 release\, Resurrection (BMG)\, blends their signature Texican rock & roll with elements of soul and roots music\, earning critical acclaim and energizing live audiences. More than two decades after their debut\, they remain a vital force in music\, proving their story is still unfolding. \nJaik Willis is a strumming & drumming One Man Band\, a wild fire-breathing freakshow; playing an 11-piece drum set with his feet while playing guitars / bass / & harps; while sing and beatboxing simultaneously\, live with no looping or electronics. Jaik Willis has shared bills with artists such as Willie Nelson\, Snoop Dogg\, Wilco\, Bela Fleck\, MMW\, Del McCoury\, NIN\, Big Brother & the Holding Company\, Leftover Salmon\, Justin Townes Earle\, Digital Underground\, Blueground Undergrass\, Garaj Mahal\, EOTO\, The Schwag\, Ekoostik Hookah\, Tea Leaf Green\, Split Lip Rayfield\, and performed on stage with acoustic blues dynamo\, Corey Harris\, and Chicago blues legend Billy Branch as well.\n\nBuy Now

SUMMARY:W.A.S.P. - 1984 TO HEADLESS with SPECIAL GUEST KK'S PRIEST
DESCRIPTION:W.A.S.P.: Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love\, the hate\, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning\, in the small venues of Los Angeles California\, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live\, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations\, Local City Councils\, Parliaments\, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played. The band’s founding member\, frontman Blackie Lawless\, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual\, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades. Hear favorites including “I Wanna Be Somebody\,” “L.O.V.E. machine\,” “Blind In Texas\,” ” Wild Child” and so many MORE! \nKK’s Priest: You can’t keep a heavy metal legend down… Although it’s been over a dozen years since guitarist and songwriter K.K. Downing departed Judas Priest\, the iconic band he co-founded and played with for 40 years\, he was never really going to retire. It was only a matter of time before he reclaimed the spotlight. K.K. Downing has had metal coursing through his veins from the beginning\, starting in the Midlands region of England where Judas Priest was born. He compellingly chronicled his life odyssey in his 2018 autobiography\, and his recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame further secures his legacy as a pioneering musician\, songwriter and guitarist.\nAs a founding member of the classic Judas Priest line-up\, Downing helped lay the foundation for the heavy metal genre as a whole. His distinct style of playing is easily identifiable\, he was part of a six-string duo that complemented and contrasted each other\, and they would progress to new levels of excitement. He has taken that ethos and applied it to KK’s Priest with impassioned results. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD: LEDBETTER HEIGHTS 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago\, a Fender Strat-wielding teenager from Shreveport\, Louisiana by the name of Kenny Wayne Shepherd brought the blues back to the mainstream. It was 1995\, the era of furrow-browed grungesters\, when a sandy-haired guitar prodigy unapologetically celebrated a genre often pushed to the margins. With his fiery fretwork\, pop-rock hooks\, and reverence for the blues\, Shepherd’s arrival was a much-needed palette-cleanser from the existential dread of the times. Now\, three decades later\, Shepherd is as vital as ever. No longer the child prodigy\, he has ascended to master.  Still touring\, recording\, collaborating\, and evolving\, he’s returned to where it all began\, Ledbetter Heights. Shepherd’s latest is a re-recording of his landmark first album\, in honor of its 30th anniversary. In early 2026\, he and his band will launch a national tour celebrating the milestone’s anniversary. \nIn a short time\, Shepherd rocketed from small clubs to cracking the Top 10 with his debut album. Ledbetter Heights was an unequivocal success\, earning critical praise\, industry accolades\, a highly engaged fanbase that continues to this day\, and the respect of blues and rock heavyweights across generations. The album went Gold within months and was certified Platinum by early 1996. That same year\, Guitar World ranked Shepherd No. 3 blues artist behind only B.B. King and Eric Clapton. \nUp next\, Shepherd and his band will be hitting the road for the Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour. The shows will include a performance of the full 12-track album\, along with another set featuring highlights from his 30-year career. “Revisiting this album put me back in touch with the wonder and excitement of those days. I didn’t know what lay ahead at the time\,” he reflects\, “But I’m very grateful for what came from it.” \n  \nBuy Now
