BIOSteve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders, and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his record, Guitar Town, which shot to number one on the country charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. Subsequent releases like The Revolution Starts...Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007), and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. Restlessly creative across artistic disciplines, Earle has published both a novel and collection of short stories; produced albums for other artists such as Joan Baez and Lucinda Williams, and acted in films, television (including David Simon’s acclaimed The Wire), and on the stage. In 2009, Earle appeared in the off-Broadway play Samara, for which he alsowrote a score that The New York Times described as “exquisitely subliminal.” Earle wrote music for and appeared in Coal Country, a riveting Public Theater play that dives into the most-deadly mining disaster in U.S. history, for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Mr. Earle was recently inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

BIOBuddy is a musical celebration of the legendary singer/songwriter Buddy Holly, who shot to stardom in&nbsp;1957, only to die in a plane crash two years later alongside 17-year-old Ritchie Valens and J.P.&nbsp;Richardson – ‘the Big Bopper’. Starting out as a Country &amp; Western singer in Lubbock, Texas, Buddy and his two friends from ‘The&nbsp;Crickets’ and with the support of local radio DJ, ‘Hipockets’ Duncan, they start to carve out a career in&nbsp;music. After an inauspicious start at Decca Records in Nashville, Buddy &amp; the Crickets sign a contract with&nbsp;innovative up-and-coming record producer Norman Petty. Within hours of meeting they start to record&nbsp;Buddy’s biggest hit, “That’ll Be The Day” at Petty’s studio in Clovis, New Mexico, which rockets up&nbsp;the chart and reaches number one within weeks. Buddy Holly &amp; the Crickets suddenly became the&nbsp;hottest act in the country, performing at home and abroad and becoming the first white act to win over&nbsp;the notoriously hard-to-please crowd at Harlem’s Apollo Theatre. Now successful, the Crickets start to record in New York, where Buddy meets and proposes to Maria&nbsp;Elena Santiago, the Puerto Rican receptionist of his record publisher, after a courtship which takes all of&nbsp;five hours. Newly married and ambitious, Buddy completely shifts his focus to New York and the&nbsp;inevitable rift develops between him and the Crickets. After a declaration of home truths during a&nbsp;recording session in Clovis, the band split and Buddy unexpectedly finds himself having to pursue a solo&nbsp;career. ‘The Winter Dance Party’ of 1959 is a tour travelling by bus through the Midwest, quenching the teenage thirst for this ‘new music called Rock &amp; Roll’. The tour is hard work, the weather conditions&nbsp;appalling and the performers are alternating between sleeping in the luggage racks and dropping into&nbsp;hospital to be treated for frostbite. On February 3rd 1959, after a concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, Buddy breaks his&nbsp;promise to his pregnant wife not to fly as he and the other two headliners (Ritchie and the Bopper) board&nbsp;a small plane and fly off into the night for the next leg in Moorhead, only to crash shortly after take-off&nbsp;into a ploughed field. There are no survivors. This was a tragedy that shocked the world. In Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, the&nbsp;accident snatched away three of the most dynamic talents the world had known, and as the legend says,&nbsp;it was “the day the music died...” Buddy Holly’s brief life has become the stuff of legend. Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story is a celebration&nbsp;of that legend and catches that unique mixture of innocence, determination, humour and charm that was&nbsp;Buddy Holly, and wraps it into a package that truly deserves the billing: “The World’s Most Successful Rock &amp; Roll Musical”

Dylan Gossett is a 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas. Gossett began writing and recording music during his early teen years using Garage Band on his mother’s computer. Throughout high school, college at Texas A&amp;M, and a job at Formula 1 Racing, music remained Gossett’s true passion. Inspired to finally release music by a new generation of singer-songwriters he saw emerging online, Dylan began posting videos of his songs in April 2023 — immediately, his music struck a chord with a global audience. &nbsp; Gossett released his first single “To Be Free” (entirely self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) in June 2023. Shortly thereafter, he teased a snippet of what would become his next song and breakout viral hit “Coal.” The video instantly took off, gaining over one million views within the first week. He quickly got back into his bedroom and created the song from scratch before releasing it in July 2023. Since its release, “Coal” has garnered over 400 million global streams, received Platinum Certifications in the United States, Australia, Canada and Ireland, debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and the Official Singles Chart Top 100 in the U.K., reached the Top Five on the Country Radio Chart in Australia, and climbed the Spotify U.S. Top 200. The New York Times called “Coal” “one of the year’s best country songs,” and Billboard declared, “‘Coal’ and ‘To Be Free’ position Gossett as a formidable, heart-on-his-sleeve singer-songwriter with immense potential.” &nbsp; In October 2023, Gossett released his highly anticipated debut EP No Better Time (also self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records. The EP received a slew of critical acclaim from The New York Times, Billboard, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Grammy.com">Grammy.com</a>, Atwood Magazine, MusicRow, Holler, Country Central, and more. He then followed it up with his widely praised 2024 EP, Songs In The Gravel, which he wrote and self-produced, while also teaming up with notable producers Eddie Spear and Ian Fitchuk on a few tracks. On the touring front, this fall Gossett embarked on his headlining The Back 40 Tour. Last spring, his first-ever headline (and international) tour, dubbed the No Better Time Tour, sold-out immediately upon on-sale. Gossett has supported Noah Kahan in arenas across Australia, and Morgan Wallen at Houston’s Minute Maid Park, as well as opened for Wyatt Flores and Brent Cobb on their fall 2023 tours. This year, Gossett’s festival trek includes debuts at SXSW, CMA Fest, Hangout Music Festival, Tortuga Music Festival, Two Step Inn Festival, and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;

BIOChicago’s eclectic rock band Umphrey’s McGee has been keeping fans on their toes for nearly 27 years now. Though often pigeonholed into “jam band” circles, Umphrey’s doesn’t fit that traditional mold; and their fans don’t either. Is it prog rock? Song-forward, Beatles-esque arrangements? Be careful, they might hit you with some metal riffs mid-set, too. Amongst 2,500+ gigs and 300 million+ tracks streamed, you-had-to-be-there moments include the band’s performance at the first-ever Bonnaroo and selling more CDs (remember those?) than any other act on the bill. A leader in the live music world, Umphrey’s McGee became the first group to launch its own single-artist streaming service with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://UMLive.net">UMLive.net</a>, which houses recordings of every gig since 2005. The service has since grown and now lives on through <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Nugs.net">Nugs.net</a>, which is used by the likes of Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, and more. Beyond intimate backstage encounters and ski trips with their most diehard fans, Umphrey’s McGee instituted the groundbreaking “Headphones &amp; Snowcones” program, granting fans access to professional headphones and a soundboard-quality mix to listen wirelessly at shows. At their UMBowl, they empowered the audience to vote on the setlist in real-time and choose favorite improv themes via text message. In 2017, they stepped into another realm altogether by integrating themselves into the VR Platform Endless Riff. All of the above has earned the band status as kings of the live music scene with standing yearly engagements at iconic venues, their own events in Iceland (Rockjavick) and Mexico (Holidaze), and co-hosting Chillicothe, IL’s long-running Summer Camp festival. In April 2025, Umphrey’s McGee will lead their faithful fans on another bucket list musical adventure: Morockshow will feature three nights in Marrakech, Morocco, marking another signature event in an exotic location. Umphrey’s McGee’s latest release Asking For A Friend showcases more evolved songwriting and thoughtful arranging from a band continuing to grow and mature with their droves of die-hard, longtime fans.

Tennessee-born troubadour Larry Fleet grew up on a stack of records spanning Merle Haggard, Otis Redding, Willie Nelson, and Marvin Gaye. A thoughtful songwriter with a knack for a one-liner, an ear for a sturdy hook, and a powerhouse voice that strikes like a match, Fleet was working blue-collar jobs to make ends meet long before landing his recording contract with Big Loud Records. Seven years in, the devout family man and father-of-two is turning heads with his albums as the UK’s Holler notes, “Fleet is firmly on the upward curve as one of Music City’s hottest talents to watch.” With 2021’s tribute to the music that raised him, Stack of Records, his aptly titled 2019 debut, Workin’ Hard, and his most recent 2023 release, Earned It, out now, Saving Country Music puts it simply: “If you’re looking for the future of traditional country music, then look no further than...Larry Fleet.” A road-tested live show standout, Fleet recently wrapped his headlining The Earned It Tour in addition to crowd-winning opening slots supporting Darius Rucker, Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson, Morgan Wallen and more. Fleet notched his first No. 1 single as a songwriter — the Wallen and Eric Church “Man Made A Bar” — earlier this year and just extended his current headlining tour including a sold-out night at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium before joining Jon Pardi’s Mr. Saturday Night Tour ahead of a string of European dates this fall.

This band is a force like no other. Creating a party wherever they go. Followed by a ravenous fan base. Every song will leave you singing along and begging for more. The area's premier party band. You have heard it all before. Most band biographies are as trite as dating website profiles and equally filled with empty promises and broken dreams. The issue here is that The Pork Tornadoes fit the mold of all the cliche statements but are reluctant to use them.Their live show does the talking for them; the shroud of mystery surrounding the band, the terribly-poor choice in band name, and the head-scratching, enormous amount of video views (14 million views on all platforms) and fans on every social media website (90,000 followers) are enough to bring curious music lovers out to a show to see what all the fuss is about.The Pork Tornadoes are a powerful party band that has played all around the Midwest at the best and biggest bars, venues and festivals. Having played more than 600+ shows in the last 12 years, this band has perfected their live show into an experience you won’t find anywhere else. The band is led by singer Mason Greve, whose is arguably one of the best vocalists in the State of Iowa and was one of 100 finalists on a Not-To-Be-Mentioned television singing program in 2014. Putting their own spin on an eclectic mix of songs from Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift to Lizzo, The Killers, Coolio and Phil Collins, they are truly one of the most versatile bands around. Their debut EP peaked on the Apple iTunes Pop charts at #20 and was streamed over half a million times in 2020. They recently achieved viral success with the 5th-most viewed cover of 'Tennessee Whiskey' on Youtube and a impromptu performance of 'In the Air Tonight' with a drum line that was featured in Rolling Stone. Regularly setting attendance records and shattering bar sales numbers, this band is a force like no other, creating a party wherever they go for their ravenous fan base, who sing along and beg for more!

The Reverend Horton Heat, a vibrant American psychobilly band hailing from Dallas, Texas, originally formed in 1985 in the Deep Ellum neighborhood, blending elements of country, punk, swing, and rockabilly into a high-energy "Country-fed punkabilly" sound. Fronted by the charismatic Jim Heath, who took on the stage name Reverend Horton Heat, the band features Heath on guitar and vocals, Jimbo Wallace on upright bass, and Scott Churilla on drums. Heath’s journey began in Corpus Christi, where he played in a cover band before attending the University of Texas at Austin. After a brief stint with the touring band Sweetbriar, he returned to his musical roots, spurred by the punk rock scene and memorable encounters like a transformative show by The Cramps. Despite a brief hiatus from the rock-and-roll lifestyle, Heath's return to music, driven by his passion and a goading from Deep Ellum’s Russell Hobbs, led to the formation of the Reverend Horton Heat. The band quickly made a mark in the local music scene, drawing crowds with their dynamic performances and securing their place as a beloved underground act. Heath’s personal struggles and creative resilience are reflected in their music, including the poignant track “Where In The Hell Did You Go With My Toothbrush?”, inspired by his own life experiences.
