SUMMARY:Machine Girl
DESCRIPTION:The Machine Girl project infiltrates every type of freak; ravers\, punks\, noisers\, footworkists\, metal fans\, gamers\, h/c kids\, goth/industrialists and everything in between. Infamous for their cathartic\, unpredictable performances and genre-agnostic catalog\, the project’s vitriolic\, organic following has developed through a sense of sonic maximalism and anime/B-horror visual flair. Machine Girl lore juxtaposes whether the picture painted is that of reality\, a fantastical escape\, or a jarring future. \n\n\n\n \n\nLightning Bolt\nBridging the worlds of technical playing and noise chaos with a color and imagination unlike any other band\, Providence\, Rhode Island duo Lightning Bolt began their hypnotic pummeling in the mid-’90s and grew to become one of the most powerful and unique entities in the indie scene. Barely recognizable bass tones and unrelenting drums played in telekinetic lockstep defined the band’s sound on albums like their 2003 high-water mark Wonderful Rainbow. \nLightning Bolt first took shape in 1995 as a three-piece art school project. Initially\, Brian Chippendale‘s explosive\, nonstop drumming\, Brian Gibson’s Contortions-like basslines\, and Hisham Baroocha’s vocals propelled them into a fury of volatile noise and orgiastic tribalism. The group helped found Fort Thunder\, a music and art collective\, and recorded a self-titled album that was issued through Load in 1999. By 2001’s Ride the Skies\, Baroocha had departed (he eventually formed Black Dice). This left the vocal duties to Chippendale\, who jammed the microphone into his mouth as he drummed. Lightning Bolt played a series of tours with bands like the Locust\, Arab on Radar\, Orchid\, and Melt Banana\, some of which were the focus of band documentary The Power of Salad\, a 2003 film directed by Peter Glantz and Nick Noe. \nTheir next studio album\, Wonderful Rainbow\, embraced a more demented approach to traditional rock forms. The record did very well in underground music circles and set up the release of 2005’s Hypermagic Mountain. Lightning Bolt toured frequently\, but didn’t return to the studio until 2009’s Earthly Delights\, which was followed in 2012 by mini-album Oblivion Hunter\, comprised mainly of archival recordings unearthed and cleaned up for release. Though they were still touring sporadically\, both Gibson and Chippendale were busy with various other projects\, ranging from Gibson’s involvement with doom metal band Megasus to Chippendale‘s growing art career and prolific solo project Black Pus. \nLightning Bolt returned in 2015 with sixth album Fantasy Empire\, their first new material in over five years and their first music recorded in a fully functional\, high-end recording studio. After a similarly lengthy four-year break\, the duo released their seventh LP\, Sonic Citadel\, in October 2019. ~ Daphne Carr\, Rovi \n\n\n \n\nKill Alters\nThe dense compositions of NYC-based trio Kill Alters crash into you as a glorious mess of hyperactive vocal lines\, pulsing electronic textures\, and interwoven percussion patterns. Primary composer and producer Bonnie Baxter leads the band with her impassioned vocal performances\, pummeling drum machine beats\, and peals of chaotic synthesis. In addition to Kill Alters\, Baxter has released solo albums and is 1/2 of the duo Prolaps alongside Machine Girls’ Matthew Stephenson. In Kill Alters\, Nicos Kennedy serves as the project’s co-producer/mixer\, sound engineer\, and synthesist\, both shaping their sound in the context of performance and rendering their final recorded output in all its overloaded detail. Hisham Bharoocha (formerly of seminal US underground projects Lightning Bolt and Black Dice\, and a solo artist under the Soft Circle moniker) provides his signature battering ram drum performances\, which collide with electronic percussion elements to animate the band’s ballistic compositions both on record and in the context of their live shows. \nBaxter and Kennedy started the Kill Alters project as an outlet to recontextualize the audio from an archive of home-recorded tapes made by Baxter’s mother\, which date from the 1970s through the 1990s. The care and the vulnerability with which Kill Alters infuses their music with these archival recordings recasts the trauma and confusion documented within them as a source from which to draw power and achieve a new sense of clarity.

SUMMARY:Sixpence None the Richer
DESCRIPTION:Sixpence None the Richer began taking shape in New Braunfels\, Texas in the early ‘90s\, when guitarist Matt Slocum met vocalist Leigh Nash at a church retreat. The group recorded a demo before eventually signing with R.E.X. Records. Their debut LP\, The Fatherless & the Widow\, appeared in 1993 and their sophomore effort\, 1995’s This Beautiful Mess won a Dove Award and was followed by the Tickets for a Prayer Wheel EP. \nIn 1997\, Sixpence None the Richer released their self-titled album and two years later exploded globally when the track “Kiss Me”\, from that album\, was released as a single. The song has been featured in countless movies and TV shows and catapulted Sixpence None the Richer’s starpower into the mainstream\, earning airplay in more than ten different countries. \nAccolades continued as the band’s rendition of the La’s “There She Goes” also became a major hit. In fall 2002\, Sixpence None the Richer returned to form with Divine Discontent. The band’s cover of the Crowded House classic “Don’t Dream It’s Over” pushed Sixpence None the Richer’s name back into the charts in early 2003. Although the group quietly disbanded in 2004\, they remained active as individuals and continued to release music periodically\, including the albums Dawn of Grace and Lost in Transition. \nFast forward to 2024 and all-original members (Leigh Nash\, Matt Slocum\, Dale Baker\, and Justin Cary) have reunited and are writing and recording new music and preparing for a world tour. As a taste of the new music\, you can hear “The Tide” released in late 2023 as Leigh Nash + Sixpence None The Richer\, which has already amassed over 2 Million views and streams across platforms. Curb Records is also celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the band’s self-titled (Kiss Me) album by re-releasing it in a collectible vinyl series that also features the new track\, “The Tide”. \nSixpence None The Richer has helped shape the musical landscape across generations and are gearing up for an exciting road ahead. \n\n\n\n \n\nMcKenna Esteb\nMcKenna grew up in Snoqualmie WA\, where her love for music began\, performing in talent shows\, at coffee shops and restaurant around the greater Seattle area. Throughout her career she has called both Austin\, TX and Boise\, ID (where she currently resides) home. \nHer vocal style is heavily influenced by the likes of Aretha Franklin\, Etta James and Amy Winehouse. The roots of her music have soul and funk influences mixed into a nice cocktail of pop/modern rock. With songs ranging from “cry in the bathtub w/ a pint of Ben & Jerry’s” to “10 lb’s of sass in a 5 lb bag” she is guaranteed to keep her music vulnerable\, fun & keep you on your toes.

SUMMARY:Gregorian - Pure Chants World Tour
DESCRIPTION:For almost 25 years\, GREGORIAN have thrilled millions of people worldwide with their choreographed shows and their ability to switch seamlessly from classical chorales to pop and rock songs. Their concerts have set new standards. With over 2\,000 shows in 35 countries and more than 10 million albums sold\, GREGORIAN are the most successful choir in the world. In November and December 2024\, GREGORIAN will continue with their PURE CHANTS World Tour in Canada and in the USA. Frank Peterson\, the creator and producer of GREGORIAN says: “Our Pure Chants concerts bring the most popular GREGORIAN classics in an atmospheric and tranquil sound environment. Pure Chants concerts are extremely peaceful\, yet spectacular and unite the audience with the most beautiful melodies in the world.” The idea for GREGORIAN was born when Frank Peterson visited the royal monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spain in 1989. Wandering through the medieval monastery and castle complex and listening to contemporary music on his Walkman\, he found the inspiration for the sound experiment of mixing ancient Gregorian music with modern music. Peterson first realized his idea with Michael Cretu and the worldwide sound phenomenon “Enigma”. Their first album “MCMXC a.D.” was released in 1990 and quickly became a worldwide success. “MCMXC a.D.” was number 1 in 41 different countries and went 57 times platinum and 45 times gold. It is considered as the most successful German album of all time worldwide. \nThis gigantic success paved the way for GREGORIAN to take the musical idea one step further and to establish it as an independent music act. In 1999\, with the start of production on the first album “Masters Of Chant”\, Frank Peterson seamlessly built on the success of “Enigma”. In the following years\, GREGORIAN has sold over 10 million CDs and 7 DVDs worldwide and achieved gold and platinum status in 24 different countries. At the end of 2024 and thus in time for their Anniversary World Tourin 2025\, Frank Peterson will release a new GREGORIAN album. The album will include new songs as well as re-recordings of some wellknown GREGORIAN classics. Frank Peterson has been involved in various musical projects and international productions for over 30 years. He has worked as a producer with Sarah Brightman\, Enigma\, Justin Timberlake\, Andrea Bocelli\, Paul Stanley (Kiss)\, Backstreet Boys\, Alannah Myles\, José Carreras\, Tom Jones\, Plácido Domingo\, Errol Brown\, Ofra Haza\, Sandra\, Josh Groban\, Marky Mark\, I Muvrini\, Florent Pagny and Ricardo Cocciante\, among others. In addition to GREGORIAN\, Peterson has also been working as a show producer for Sarah Brightman and other top stars since 2005. Together with the world star\, he produced the album and cinema production “Sarah Brightman – Hymn”\, which was acclaimed by critics worldwide.

SUMMARY:90’s Country Christmas
DESCRIPTION:90’s Country Christmas\n\nJohnny Rogers is returning for his 90’s Country Christmas.  Considered to be the best years for country music. Johnny will sing artists like George Strait\, Alan Jackson\, Johnny Cash\, Tim Mc Graw and Brad Paisley \nFeaturing the Rocking Horse Medicine Show Band \nTier 1 tickets come with a meet & greet \nAbout Johnny Rogers\nJohnny Rogers was born in Jackson\, Tennessee to parents who were born in the southern states of Kentucky and Tennessee. His father was a radio personality in the late 40’s and early 50’s\, who crossed paths with some of the biggest legends of music history: Elvis\, Johnny Cash\, Hank Williams Sr.\, George Jones\, Lefty Frizzell\, Marty Robbins and Conway Twitty\, to mention a few. When he was very young his father gave him his first guitar. He had no interest in playing\, until he heard Buddy Holly for the first time.  The song was Rave On. \nHe said it was like someone or something turned a switch on inside of him. From that moment on he knew what he wanted to be in life and that was someone like Buddy. His father showed him a few basic chords. That was all he needed to get started playing. \nWhile Johnny was in high school\, he tried starting his own band\, but finding kids his own age with the same taste in music seemed to be impossible. So\, he began to look for older guys that grew up listening to the music. He started sneaking into the honky tonks with his father’s help and a fake ID. But he wasn’t there to drink he was there to learn about becoming an entertainer.  \nJohnny’s father was very good friends with a Chicago honky tonk legend by the name of Jimmy Nichols. Johnny’s father had given Jimmy his start in the late 50’s and now Jimmy would return the favor. Johnny started playing lead guitar for Jimmy Nichols at the age of 15. He was self taught and learned all styles of music. Johnny made his debut on stage at the Off Broadway Lounge. Immediately he was a big draw. People would come from miles around to see the kid with horn rim glasses and lightning guitar licks. Johnny continued playing guitar for the Chicago legend until he was 21 and it was time to start his own band and his own show.
