SUMMARY:LINGER: THE CRANBERRIES TRIBUTE
DESCRIPTION:The Legacy Lives On: LINGER – The Premier Tribute to The Cranberries Born from a deep-seated love for the legacy of Dolores O’Riordan\, LINGER is the first and most active tribute to The Cranberries in the United States. Based in Denver\, Colorado\, this project began in April 2022 with a singular mission: to fill the void left by the band’s final\, unfinished chapter and keep their timeless Irish rock spirit alive. We don’t just play the hits; we recreate the atmosphere\, we tell the stories. From the grunge-heavy grit of “Zombie” and “Salvation” to the ethereal\, haunting beauty of “Dreams” and “Linger\,” our show is a high-energy journey back to the peak of 90s alternative rock. Having graced legendary stages like Seattle’s El Corazon—the same floor once trodden by Nirvana— and many important venues and events all around the US\, we bring a professional\, touring-grade experience to every city. Fans who saw the real Cranberries live often leave our shows in tears\, telling us: “I never thought I’d hear this music live again”. Led by the powerhouse vocals of Amanda Vonholtum—widely recognized as one of Colorado’s elite performers—LINGER is backed by a collective of seasoned musicians with over 25 years of stage experience. Together\, they deliver a masterclass in nostalgia\, capturing the haunting vulnerability and raw alternative power that defined a generation. Whether you’re a die-hard “Cranberry” or a 90s rock enthusiast\, LINGER invites you to relive the magic of the music that changed the world. Experience the nostalgia. Feel the energy.

SUMMARY:TODD RUNDGREN: DAMNED IF I DO TOUR
DESCRIPTION:Considered by many to be the “Ultimate Rock Cult Hero”\, Todd Rundgren has maintained a legion of fans through four decades. A pop savant who fastidiously avoided easy categorization throughout the course of his career\, Todd Rundgren straddled the gap separating a mainstream star from a cult figure. It was in the late 1960s when Todd’s searing guitar work reached a nationwide audience\, in his role as lead guitarist for the blues-psychedelic band Nazz. He wrote and arranged almost all of the work that went into the three albums the group produced. Their music ranged from Southern blues to hard rock to heavily orchestrated symphonies. Nazz broke up in the early 1970s and Todd released two solo albums under the name of Runt. His first big solo success was in 1971 with “We Gotta Get You a Woman” and in 1973 from the double album “Something/Anything?” he scored big on the charts with “I Saw the Light” and a revision of a Nazz song\, “Hello\, It’s Me.” In the late 1970s and through the 1980s Todd formed the group Utopia\, each member an accomplished musician and vocalist. Rundgren toured in late 2019 with Micky Dolenz\, Jason Scheff\, Christopher Cross and Joey Molland of Badfinger in celebration of the Beatles’ White Album on the “It Was Fifty Years Ago Today – A Tribute to the Beatles’ White Album”. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021. \nBuy Now\n\nVIP MERCHANDISE PACKAGE IS ALSO AVAILABLE.  CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE.

Not that Edwin’s music ever slows down. “American Idol” and “The Voice” contestants still turn to Edwin’s ballads year after year to help them win over judges and fans. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:TED NUGENT
DESCRIPTION:Ted Nugent started “beating on my first guitar” around the age of five. Strongly influenced by Chuck Berry and Bo Diddly\, he knew he wanted to pursue that type of sound and attitude. Early bands paved the way for the Amboy Dukes\, and it was a feisty cover of the Dukes’ psychedelic Journey to the Center of the Mind that kicked Young Ted’s career into hyper drive. The axe maniac broke out as a solo artist\, signing with the legendary Epic Records\, where the guitarist’s prodigious talent\, earshattering volume and over-the-top stage antics quickly earned him the moniker of Motor City Madman. Cranking out hits like Cat Scratch Fever\, Just What the Doctor Ordered\, Free for All and the iconic Stranglehold\, Nugent garnered international acclaim earned a permanent place in rock & roll history as the ultimate guitar-shredding showman\, selling more than 40 million albums and performing over 6\,900 high-octane live shows. Ted Nugent has been named Detroit’s Greatest Guitar Player of All Time by readers of MLive. \nBuy Now

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
