Richman is one of America's most unique and dynamic songwriters, cultivating an intimacy that is almost extinct in modern music.

"Buy tickets early. Buy tickets often. This is just good general life advice, but even more so when you're talking about Jonathan Richman. Don't get denied at the door, don't leave things up to chance: You will regret it." — Nashville Scene

"Richman has spent decades removing barriers between himself and his audience, cultivating an intimacy that is almost extinct in modern music." — Nashville Scene

"The music we're doing now works well in quiet places like theaters and performing art centers. We still don't use a program or a set list so we don't know what we'll do until we do it. Please do not expect old songs. It's mostly stuff made up in the last 3 and 4 years. One last thing, my idea of a good show has nothing to do with applause. It's about if all the songs I sang that night were ones that I felt." — Jonathan

Eddie Roberts (The New Masterminds)
Stanton Moore (Galactic)
Robert Walter (The Greyboy Allstars)

When three modern groove masters of funk and soul-jazz converge, sparks are bound to fly. The Breaks brings together guitarist Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds), drummer Stanton Moore (Galactic), and organist Robert Walter (The Greyboy Allstars) — three musicians whose collective groove has shaped the sound of contemporary funk for over two decades.

Rooted in the tradition of late-'60s organ trios and hard-hitting boogaloo, The Breaks pushes the sound forward with deep-pocket rhythms, tight arrangements, and fearless improvisation.

From sweaty club sets to major festival stages, The Breaks deliver a sound that's both deeply rooted and constantly evolving — a raw, joyful celebration of rhythm and musical conversation.

DakhaBrakha is a music quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine. Their "ethno chaos" sound spans years of performances prior to Russia's 2022 invasion, but war is in everything now. They masterfully blend Ukrainian traditional music with influences from around the world, resulting in an unexpected new music.

DakhaBrakha uses Ukrainian polyphony as its foundation, interweaving complex rhythmic and melodic structures from India, Arabia, Africa, and Australia. Their music features distinctive percussive heartbeats, thumping bass lines, distorted electric guitars and influences of jazz, spoken word, rap and even punk.

They are troubadours, activists and educators. DakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art "DAKH." They have played hundreds of concerts at major international festivals including Bonnaroo, WOMAD, Roskilde, and the main stage at Glastonbury. In 2020, they won the Shevchenko National Prize for Musical Arts — Ukraine's biggest award in contemporary art.

In definitive innovator fashion, jazz legend Stanley Clarke reimagines the genre with his 2026 double album Last Train to Sanity, which he created as a gift for his fans. Last Train to Sanity marks the bass player-band leader-composer-arranger-producer's latest studio project, encompassing music Clarke has been sharing around the world with his newest band Stanley Clarke N•4EVER.

Originally formed out of a desire to pay tribute to Clarke's longtime friend and collaborator Chick Corea, 4EVER has quickly become a fusion force all its own, furthering the tradition of cultivating the cutting edge. True to the evolution of jazz fusion, 4EVER brings a powerful combination of jazz harmony and improvisation with rock, funk, R&B, hip-hop and electronic music influences.

Akin to Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Last Train boasts a personnel list of jazz's next wave of heavy hitter virtuosos, including standout performances by saxophonist-composer Emilio Modeste, guitarist Colin Cook, and Herbie Hancock Competition winner Jahari Stampley, as well as drummer Jeremiah Collier, piano virtuoso Beka Gochiashvili, bassist Armand Sabal-Lecco, tabla master Salar Nader, and violin virtuoso Evan Garr.

Last Train to Sanity will be released on two CDs and vinyls, with a deluxe package that features collectors' items including a large format art booklet with liner notes. Created as a gift for his fans, the record will also be released in conjunction with an exclusive coffee-table book filled with rare clippings, photographs, and stories from Stanley's illustrious journey in music to date.

It's no longer a secret that California-based Jerry's Middle Finger (JMF) delivers the best Jerry Garcia Band tribute experience in the world — performing and celebrating the music of JGB with unparalleled sound and energy.

Humbly formed in 2015 by a group of professional musicians passionate about Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, JMF started honing its one-of-a-kind sound at LA speakeasies and beachside dive bars. Audiences of all ages instantly fell in love and soon JMF was playing to packed rooms from legendary stages throughout the western United States — dazzling new fans on the scene and pulling even the most discerning Jerry fanatics out of their seats for the first time in decades.

The magic all starts with lead vocalist and guitarist Garrett Deloian. As a seasoned veteran of the blues circuit, he channels his lifelong love for the work of Garcia into every lick with his incomparable mastery and tone. Drummer/founder Rodney Newman, a student of The Dead/JGB since his youth, leads the band's reliable and relentless rhythm section. Rodney's kick shares the bottom end with the steady and inspired bass playing of the multi-talented Son Vo. Rounding things out are two powerhouse vocalists, Halina Janusz and Lisa Malsberger, and veteran pianist and organ champion Jon Gold.

The future looks bright for JMF as they get ready to take their heartfelt magical dance parties to further points across the country. So whether you saw Jerry 500 times or were born after his time on earth, this much is true: JMF will make you feel like he's still here.

Steep Canyon Rangers arrive at a moment of renewal and reaffirmation with Next Act, their 15th studio album set to be released May 22, 2026. The record represents a conscious tightening of focus: a return to the bluegrass foundations that first bound the band together, approached with the confidence and emotional range earned through years of collective evolution. It is an affirmation that bluegrass still contains endless expressive possibility.

Formed in North Carolina and shaped equally by the Appalachian Mountains and the Piedmont, Steep Canyon Rangers have long occupied a singular space in American roots music. From their earliest recordings, the band demonstrated an unusual ability to honor traditional bluegrass forms while allowing contemporary songwriting, literary influence, and regional storytelling to seep naturally into the music.

Over time, this balance earned them both bluegrass credibility and broader Americana acclaim, culminating in a Best Bluegrass Album GRAMMY Award for 2013's Nobody Knows You, additional nominations for Rare Bird Alert (2012) and North Carolina Songbook (2020), and an induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.

Steep Canyon Rangers is made up of Graham Sharp on banjo and vocals, Mike Guggino on mandolin/mandola and vocals, Aaron Burdett on guitar and vocals, Nicky Sanders on fiddle and vocals, Mike Ashworth on drums, dobro, percussion and vocals, and Barrett Smith on bass, guitar, and vocals.

An uncanny tribute to beloved master singer/songwriter/performer, American pop icon Neil Diamond — Super Diamond has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, CNN, VH1, Fox News, and Comedy Central, and has been featured in publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine, The New York Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle.

For three decades, San Francisco's Super Diamond has become one of the most popular live shows at major nightclubs, theaters, ballrooms, festivals, and public events throughout the United States.

Super Diamond delivers a glittering, powerful show that performs Neil Diamond's hits with a rock edge and unrestrained enthusiasm. It is pure entertainment — classic music combined with fun, energy, and passion!

Neil Diamond (the man himself) has sung his songs on stage with Super Diamond at their shows. Don't let anyone tell you Neil Diamond doesn't "ROCK!"
