$65 General Admission (Standing) / $85 Balcony Seated (Limited Seating Available) / $75 DOSCreativity is like a fire in a fireplace: You have to tend it or it will go out. For nearly two decades, Matisyahu has kept his creative spirit aflame by evolving his sound, melding genres, and testing the limits of the musical traditions that have inspired him. His latest release, Hold The Fire, and its leadoff single “Fireproof” takes inspiration from a fire dream inspired by Matisyahu's Old Testament religion, which has meant so much to his spiritual and creative life since his recording career began in 2004 and his breakout track "King Without a Crown" blasted into the Billboard charts in 2005. In a roundabout way, those same Old Testament roots springboarded Matisyahu's music career.Growing up outside New York City, the young Matthew Miller followed jam bands like Phish and the Grateful Dead. Then, in Bob Marley and reggae, he found that the messaging of Rastafarianism was sourced in part from that same Old Testament. The sound that emerged on his first albums—including his first two studio releases as well as 2005's Gold-certified Live at Stubb's—embraced both the spirit of reggae and his spirituality and roots in Judaism. Buoyed by hits like "King Without a Crown," albums like the Grammy-nominated and Billboard No.1-ranked Youth in 2006, and the Gold-certified 2009 antiwar hit "One Day" (streamed over 150 million times on Spotify alone), he toured extensively through the second half of the aughts with a high-energy stage show that has since grown to include more improvisation. All the while his music expanded into a shapeshifting collision of reggae, hip-hop, alt rock and boldly inventive pop. Today, he continues to be inspired by evolving musical trends, finding linkages and loops between eras and genres. Matisyahu's spirituality has evolved in parallel with his music, though his Jewish heritage remains a central theme throughout his life and music. The new EP, Hold The Fire (out February 2024), also finds him reflecting on celebrity and artistic success. For Matisyahu, “the unbelievable and miraculous feeling of being connected to our people” is what keeps the creative fire alight.Duvbear is a 18 year-old artist whose music captures the essence of his life experiences. His songs delve into personal struggles and the ways he overcomes them, all while weaving in his deep connection to Jewish spirituality. As the son of Grammy-nominated reggae artist (Matisyahu) and having an older brother (Laivy) following in his footsteps. Duvbear is carving out his own path, declaring his independence and committing to a unique musical identity.

$15 General Admission / $20 DOS***All seating is first come first served***Shadow Circus Presents A Live Hard Rock &amp; Metal Tribute to the Music of The Nightmare Before ChristmasFirst emerging onto the progressive rock scene in 2006, Shadow Circus established themselves as a uniquely macabre group, with a harder edge and darker themes than others in the genre. Their name and first album are inspired by Ray Bradbury’s horror classic, Something Wicked This Way Comes. Subsequent releases such as 2012’s Project Blue paid homage to Stephen King’s The Stand. Their latest original album From the Shadows delves into deeper and darker metal-driven realms of horror-inspired rock, and features top prog metal players Ryan Van Poederooyen on drums (Devin Townsend Project) and Gustaf Hielm on bass (Meshuggah, Pain of Salvation).Taking a queue from holiday-themed groups like Trans Siberian Orchestra, Shadow Circus set out to do a darker holiday rock tribute to unite Christmas with the far more fun Halloween season. In guitarist John Fontana’s own words, “what if Krampus was in charge of the holiday instead of Santa? I mean, we have to start looking at Christmas things as early as August, so maybe we should hang onto Halloween a little longer”. And so, the band set out to produce a tribute to Danny Elfman’s timeless music from The Nightmare Before Christmas.According to Shadow Circus, “Danny Elfman wrote a doom and prog metal masterpiece. He just forgot to put heavy guitars and drums on it.”Finishing out the set with equally entertaining macabre rock classics from artists such as Alice Cooper, Ghost, and Rocky Horror Picture Show, among others, along with some of the band’s best original material, Shadow Circus has set out to perform a one-of-a-kind heavy and macabre rock tribute that we hope will become an annual tradition.&nbsp;

The band's name is an acronym of the first letter of each member's name.Known for their harmonies and guitar-driven melodies, BBMak's sound has been likened to The Beatles and Oasis. Their music style blends melodic pop with rock and roll influences, making it appealing to fans of both genres.The group's debut album, "Sooner or Later" (2000), propelled them to commercial success with hit singles such as "Back Here" and "Still on Your Side," selling over a million copies worldwide and peaking in the top 40 of the Billboard 200 chart.Their sophomore album, "Into Your Head" (2002), may not have been as successful as its predecessor but still garnered critical acclaim and included fan-favorite tracks like "Out of My Heart (Into Your Head)" and "Staring Into Space."Following the release of "Into Your Head," BBMak took a hiatus to focus on their individual projects. However, the band made a comeback in 2018, announcing their reunion and releasing their third studio album, "Powerstation" (2019), which showcased their evolution in sound with electronic and dance influences.BBMak has shared the stage with high-profile artists like *NSYNC and Britney Spears and made appearances on notable television shows such as "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," “Good Morning America” and "Live with Regis and Kelly."BBMak's songwriting skills have been praised for producing catchy pop songs with meaningful lyrics, creating a lasting impact on the pop/rock genre, and maintaining a dedicated fanbase worldwide.They were one of the few bands during the pop explosion of the early 2000s to play their own instruments and write their own songs.

$25 Advance / $30 DOS“Castro is one of the brightest stars in the blues-soul genre. Voracious blues energy and ultimate soul power...impassioned vocals and pure inventiveness in his stellar guitar solos.” –Blues Music Magazine“Sizzling, slow-burning, gritty blues and rock...shimmering, swampy, downright funky vibes drenched with Castro’s stinging, pure and crisp lead runs and fluid, jet-fueled solos.” –Living Blues“Soul-baring, roadhouse-meets-church, Memphis guitar licks...gritty voice...Southern colors and rootsy textures.” –Washington Post“The hardest thing to do,” says internationally beloved soul-blues rocker Tommy Castro, “is be yourself, take some chances and bring your fans along with you.” Throughout his long, constantly evolving career, guitarist, singer and songwriter Tommy Castro has always remained true to himself while exploring, growing and creating new music, and he has taken his thousands of devoted fans right along with him. Since his solo debut in 1994, he’s made 16 albums—the last seven for Alligator—each its own unique chapter in the book of Tommy Castro. Ranging from horn-fueled R&amp;B to piping hot blues to fiery, stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll, each release is solidly built upon Castro’s unshakable musical foundation—a dynamic mix of 1960s-influenced guitar-fueled blues, testifying Memphis-soaked blue-eyed soul and Latin-tinged East San Jose funk, all driven by Castro’s grab-you-by-the-collar vocals and passionate guitar work. Blues Revue declared, “Tommy Castro can do no wrong.”&nbsp;For Castro’s new album, a roots music odyssey entitled Tommy Castro Presents A Bluesman Came To Town, he tells a timeless story. This special project was composed by Castro along with Grammy Award-winning producer Tom Hambridge. Through its 13 songs, A Bluesman Came To Town tells the tale of a young man working on his family farm who gets bitten by the blues bug. He masters the guitar and heads out on the road seeking fame and fortune, only to find what he’s left behind is the treasure he’s been looking for. Each memorable song—from the blistering title track to the pleading Child Don’t Go to the hopeful I Caught A Break to the emotional Blues Prisoner—stands on its own, as well as contributing to the larger story.&nbsp;“I like to keep things fresh and interesting,” says Castro, “Tom and I have talked about making a record together for a long time. Collaborating with him was even better than I imagined. I had an outline for the story and then Tom and I talked it out and the songs just started to organically grow out of each other.” Castro continues, “A Bluesman Came To Town isn’t a story about me. It’s pulled from some of my friends’ and my experiences though. I’ve seen first-hand for a lot of years what it’s like out there on the road.”&nbsp;The road has always been Castro’s home away from home. He’ll instantly ignite a crowd, turn them into loyal fans and then keep those fans coming back for more. He has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles and performed thousands of gigs, leading his bands at clubs, concert halls, and festivals all over the world. Famed guitarist Joe Bonamassa says, “Tommy has always been top of the heap among blues guitar players. He always puts on a great show.”&nbsp;Born in San Jose, California in 1955, Tommy Castro first picked up a guitar at age 10. He fell under the spell of Elvin Bishop, Taj Mahal, Mike Bloomfield and other blues artists of the day. Almost every major rock and soul act, from Ike and Tina Turner to Janis Joplin to the J. Geils Band to Tower Of Power, toured through the area, and Castro was at every show. He saw John Lee Hooker, Albert King, and Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at the same local blues bar, JJ’s, where he often jammed, dreaming of one day busting out. Mixing the blues and rock and roll he loved and the soul music he heard blasting from lowriders in his neighborhood Tommy started to create his own personal sound and style. He honed his guitar skills and intense, gritty vocals, learning how to capture an audience as he performed on San Francisco’s highly competitive club scene. As his reputation spread, Tommy played in a variety of Bay Area bands, soon making a name for himself as a hotter-than-hot live artist bursting at the seams with talent. In 1985, he was recruited to become lead singer and guitarist for the regionally popular blues band NiteCry, gigging regularly throughout Northern California. Castro joined Warner Brothers’ artists The Dynatones in the late 1980s, performing all over the country. He formed the first Tommy Castro Band in 1992 and has not stopped touring since. In 1995, soon after releasing his first album on Blind Pig Records, The Tommy Castro Band was selected as the house band for three seasons on NBC Television’s Comedy Showcase (airing right after Saturday Night Live). The show brought him in front of millions of viewers every week and cemented his reputation as a not-to-be-missed, nationally touring live performer.&nbsp;After a series of successful releases on the Blind Pig, Telarc and 33rd Street labels, Tommy Castro joined Alligator Records in 2009. His label debut, Hard Believer, was released to massive popular and critical acclaim. With the album, Castro won four of his six career Blues Music Awards, including the coveted B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year Award (the very highest award a blues performer can receive). In 2012, Castro stripped his music down to its raw essence, creating a high-energy, larger-than-life sound with the formation of The Painkillers. Tommy Castro &amp; The Painkillers’ initial release, The Devil You Know, was embraced by his legion of fans and discovered by hordes of new ones. With the current version of The Painkillers (bassist Randy McDonald, drummer Bowen Brown and keyboardist Michael Emerson), Castro released Method To My Madness in 2015, Stompin’ Ground in 2017, and the irresistible Killin’ It–Live in 2019, with critics shouting praise and admirers cheering the group’s every move. The band has coalesced into one of the telepathically tightest units Castro has ever assembled, making them one of the most in-demand live roots music acts performing today, delivering soul-shaking, muscular music.&nbsp;Castro’s relentless road-dog approach—gig after gig, night after night—has won him loyal, lifelong fans everywhere he plays. The Washington Post says Castro is “phenomenal and funky” with “soulful vocals and inspired blues guitar.” The San Francisco Chronicle describes Castro’s music as, “funky Southern soul, big city blues and classic rock...silvery guitar licks that simultaneously sound familiar and fresh.” No Depression says “Castro plays gritty, string-bending blues like a runaway train...a glorious blend that rocks the soul and lifts the spirits.”&nbsp;Upon release of A Bluesman Came To Town, Castro will hit the road with The Painkillers, performing fan favorites as well as songs from the new album. “I’ve made seven albums for Alligator,” Castro says, “and I’ve never made the same record twice. I will always try to be my most authentic self. I give it all I’ve got every time we hit the stage!”TOMMY CASTRO ON ALLIGATOR RECORDS2021&nbsp; A Bluesman Came To Town 2019&nbsp; Killin’ It — Live 2017&nbsp; Stompin’ Ground 2015&nbsp; Method To My Madness 2014&nbsp; The Devil You Know 2011&nbsp; The Legendary Rhythm &amp; Blues Revue — Live! 2009&nbsp; Hard Believer

$20 Reserved Seating / $18 General Admission (Standing Room Only) / $25 DOSHailing from Kansas City, Missouri, Danielle Nicole has spent her life making music and pleasing fans, domestically and abroad. Her stunning new album, The Love You Bleed on Forty Below Records, comprises twelve heartfelt tracks exploring themes of love, loss and perseverance. The new album was produced by Tony Braunagel (Taj Mahal, Eric Burdon, Robert Cray) and co-produced by Nicole, with John Porter (B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Bryan Ferry) mixing. The tight knit quartet on the songs features Danielle on bass guitar and vocals; Brandon Miller (electric, acoustic, pedal steel, mandolin, and 12-string guitar), Damon Parker (keyboards); Go-Go Ray (drums), and Stevie Blacke (violin and cello). Nicole was initially influenced by her parents. She recalls seeing her father playing blues guitar and her mother singing with the group Little Eva. With her two brothers, she became a member of Trampled Under Foot, which found initial popularity in the Midwest. Danielle embarked on her solo career with Wolf Den (2015), which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Blues charts and amassed 7.5 million Spotify streams. Cry No More (2018) followed, the record was nominated for a Grammy in the contemporary blues category and debuted at number one in the Billboard Blues Charts – it also boasts over Spotify streams in excess of 10 million. Nicole has been inducted into the Kansas City Hall of Fame and has been the recipient of seven Blues Music Awards. She recently did a duet with Dion on the upcoming song "I Aim To Please," and recorded the opening track in the forthcoming Peter Hutchings film "Which Brings Me To You." There has been no shortage of praise; Guitar World stated, "Danielle Nicole has won respect and admiration throughout the American blues scene for her soulful, inventive playing and tireless work ethic." Blues Music Magazine effused, "Nicole brings it, bakes it, and serves it up blazing on a silver soulrocking platter." The Kansas City Star declared, "Blues and soul vocalists tend to improve as they age. Bettye LaVette is among the artists who became increasingly believable as she matured. Danielle Nicole appears to be following in her footsteps." And the legendary Koko Taylor gets right to the point: "That girl gets down to the nitty gritty!" At the beginning of the The Love You Bleed recording sessions; Danielle Nicole knew this new album would be different from those in the past. "Maybe that's because over half the songs are about falling in love and not falling through the destruction of it," she says. The album is full of love, loss, will, determination, and all the other things that go together with love. "Make Love" is about consciously pushing past the pain, choosing love, family, and community in life's difficult moments. It uplifts the message of love and togetherness in the face of hardship." "How Did We Get to Goodbye" with its raw and honest lyrics, document a soured love that bears no hero or villain, asking how you get to such a place of disrepair without even knowing it. And Love On My Brain, is a potent hybrid of vintage R&amp;B and driving blues, begins as a flirty feeling inside and turns to an overpowering need and deep desire. Right By Your Side is a vintage soul/R&amp;B ballad about never making the mistake of watching "the one" walk away again. The Love You Bleed gives Nicole a solid place that music has always provided in dealing with love and loss. "It's been a difficult relationship listening to music outside of professional reasons since the passing of my brother Kris," she says. "But just being honest in my writing and direction, I find when I'm the truest to myself, that's when the magic happens. Not trying to find perfection in it so much, but engulfing myself in every moment and being there with the audience is when fun things can happen inside and out." Many of those feelings are captured in all the songs on the album. There is a powerful sense of self in The Love You Bleed, taking the new songs to the place Nicole envisioned they could go. "I want to consciously move forward in the natural evolution of my songwriting and singing," she says. And as I grow as a person, a woman, a mother.” Danielle Nicole Awards and Accolades *2023 Blues Music Award Recipient: Instrumentalist - Bass *2023 Blues Music Award Nominee: Instrumentalist - Vocals *2022 Blues Blast Music Award Recipient: Bass Player of the Year *2022 Blues Music Award Recipient: Instrumentalist - Bass *2022 Blues Music Award Nomination: Contemporary Blues Female Artist *2021 Blues Music Award Recipient: Instrumentalist - Bass *2019 Grammy Nomination: Contemporary Blues Album - “Cry No More” *2019 Blues Music Award Recipient: Instrumentalist - Bass *2019 Blues Music Award Recipient: Contemporary Female Blues Artist *2019 Blues Music Award Nomination: Instrumentalist - Vocals *2018 Inductee Canada South Blues Society Hall of Fame *2018 Independent Blues Award Recipient Contemporary Album - “Cry No More” *2018 Independent Blues Award Recipient Contemporary Song - “Cry No More” *2018 Independent Blues Award Recipient Music Video - “Cry No More” *2018 Blues Blast Music Award Recipient - Contemporary Blues Album - “Cry No More” *2016 Blues Blast Music Award Debut Artist Trampled Under Foot *2017 Inductee: Kansas Music Hall of Fame *2014 Blues Music Award - Bass Player of the Year *2014 Blues Music Award - Contemporary Blues Album *2014 Blues Blast Music Award - Rising Star *2014 Blues Blast Music Award - Band

$28 General Admission / $35 Reserved Seating / $35 DOSWith a guitar slung over his shoulder and the amps turned up full tilt, Anthony Gomes electrifies blues and rock at a 21st century crossroads of his own. The Canadian vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and producer wails with all the force of a hurricane in the Mississippi Delta and enough fret-burning fireworks to leave his strings in flames. Over the years, he’s toppled the Billboard Blues Chart at #1, earned the endorsement of legends such as B.B. King, tallied tens of millions of streams, and packed shows on multiple continents. In 2022, he makes his Rat Pak Records debut with High Voltage Blues, amplifying his soul and spirit like never before. “I’ve learned how to embrace my voice as a guitarist and as a singer,” he states. “I understand who I am, and I use my strengths to my advantage. I have a blues soul and a rock ‘n’ roll heart. I love to jump back and forth between both with a modern day approach. When I play rock, it’s got a little more dust to it. I just try to be the best me I can be. So, I’m the best Anthony Gomes impersonator out there,” he grins. Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, he fell in love with music as a kid, listening to everyone from Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix to Jeff Beck and Eddie Van Halen. At 14 years old, Anthony gravitated to the guitar and his relationship with the instrument was born. After grinding it out, his chops caught the attention of B.B. King’s bus driver at a jam night. Blown away, the driver introduced him to B.B. who invited him to open up a string of tour dates in 2005. Gaining invaluable knowledge from “The King,” he went on to share the stage with the likes of Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, Joe Bonamassa, Heart, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and more. Along the way, his concert attendees have included Academy® Award winner Morgan Freeman, John Goodman, and Vince Vaughn as well as Eric Clapton, to name a few. 2018’s Peace, Love &amp; Loud Guitars vaulted to #1 on the iTunes Top Blues Albums Chart and #1 on Amazon Music’s New Release Blues Chart. Meanwhile, Guitar World readers voted him one of “The 30 Best Blues Guitarists in the World Today” in 2019, and the publication noted, “Gomes is another power player who is at his best when his gear is in the scorched earth between blues and rock.” After seven consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Blues Albums Chart, Containment Blues marked his second #1 on the respective chart in 2020. During 2021, he signed to Rat Pak Records and assembled High Voltage Blues, re-recording fan favorites from previous releases and cutting three new tunes. On five tracks, Ray Luzier of Korn and Billy Sheehan [Mr. Big, David Lee Roth, The Winery Dogs] handled drums and bass, respectively. Co-produced by Anthony and Peter Carson, sessions went down in St. Louis and Nashville. “We had a lot of fun rocking these songs up,” he observes. “As an artist, it was great to circle back to some of my past work and look at it from a different perspective. Billy and Ray really pushed the way I play guitar, and they added a whole new element with a little insanity. When people ask me what I sound like, I say, ‘If B.B. King was in AC/DC, that’s what it would be’. That’s High Voltage Blues in a nutshell.” In the end, Anthony Gomes is just the kind of guitar hero we need for today. “I’m either the last of a dying breed or the start of a new revolution,” he smiles. “I still believe in a world of guitar heroes. I strive for a world where you don’t have to be 19 years old to sell a lot of records and tickets and to make a statement. I’m one of those people who doesn’t think rock, or the blues is dead. I’m looking for fresh ways to bring them together. I’m at the table rolling the dice all in the name of blues and rock ‘n’ roll. I know there’s never been a more exciting time for music, and I’m here for the journey.”

DOOM DOGS is a supergroup bringing together three imaginative, innovative musicians who improvise freely in real time. Reeves Gabrels, Jonathan Kane, and Jair-Rohm Parker Wells draw on their collective backgrounds in jazz, rock, blues, experimental and world music and more. By listening intently to each other and responding instrumentally, they create musical conversations unique to each performance. Reeves Gabrels (Guitars): Reeves Gabrels is an electric guitar virtuoso recognized by musicians and audiences alike for his expressive range and power. He is known for his creative collaborations with David Bowie during the '80s and '90s, co-writing, co-producing and adding his innovative guitar work to a half-dozen acclaimed studio albums in addition to extensive touring. His favorite of the Bowie albums he co-produced is Earthling (1997). Since 2012, Gabrels has been a member of the iconic post-punk band The Cure, with whom his artistry continues to captivate audiences worldwide. With Reeves Gabrels on lead guitar for Doom Dogs, sonic brilliance is a hallmark of the band's performances. Jonathan Kane (Drums): Jonathan Kane, the heartbeat of Doom Dogs, was a founding member of the influential band The Swans, has worked extensively with Minimalist godfather La Monte Young, was the only drummer for Rhys Chatham's orchestra of 100 electric guitars, and leads his own trance-blues band Jonathan Kane's February. His drumming style is characterized by a powerful and hypnotic presence, driving the band's improvisations with precision and intensity. Kane's vast experience as a drummer and composer contributes to the band's ability to create spontaneous and enthralling musical moments that leave audiences in awe. Jair-Rohm Parker Wells (Basses): The foundation of Doom Dogs' mesmerizing sound lies in the hands of Jair-Rohm Parker Wells, a true legend in the world of experimental rock and jazz. Aside from being a founding member of the avant-rock band Machine Gun, Parker Wells was also a member of the seminal German experimental rock band Embryo during the 1970s. His NS Design electric upright and bass guitar prowess adds a rich and dynamic depth to Doom Dogs' spontaneous compositions, pushing the boundaries of experimental rock and jazz. Jair-Rohm's artistic sensitivity and expertise make him an indispensable part of Doom Dogs' sonic exploration.Gail Ann Dorsey, a guitarist, bassist and vocalist, is a musically adept and long-trusted bandmate of the late David Bowe; she toured the world and recorded with Bowie between 1995 and 2013.
