SUMMARY:THE MUSIC OF CHICAGO WITH DANNY SERAPHINE (ORIGINAL DRUMMER OF CHICAGO) AND CTA
DESCRIPTION:In the beginning\, there was Chicago Transit Authority. Danny Seraphine\, along with his bandmates set out to change the face of Rock and Roll by creating a rock band with horns. During his tenure with Chicago\, they scored 20 top 10 hits\, (5 reaching #1) and 10 Grammy nominations. He is considered the father of jazz rock drumming. In 2006\, Danny came full circle\, forming California Transit Authority (CTA). They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery\, evidenced by all the Chicago cover bands out there. Why settle for an imitation when you can have the real deal??  This show features top hits from three decades including “Saturday In The Park”\, “You’re The Inspiration\,” “Make Me Smile\,” “Just You and Me\,” “Hard For Me To Say I’m Sorry” and so\, so many more! \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:PETER BARON'S TRIBUTE PETER FRAMPTON
DESCRIPTION:Peter Baron first met Peter Frampton when he opened for Leslie West’s Mountain. He was 17 and playing 2nd guitar with Leslie. He was still in high school\, and needless to say\, it was quite an adventure going from church dances to baseball stadiums overnight. After the tour’s first leg\, Frampton asked Baron to play guitar with him but\, asked if he could play keyboards too (which he still can’t to this day). After a few failed attempts to play together\, Baron started the Tribute to Peter Frampton band with Frampton’s bass player of 32 years\, John Regan\, andngineer/producer Eddie Kramer [Led Zeppelin\, Jimi Hendrix\, Kiss\, “Frampton Comes Alive\,” etc.]. Unfortunately\, John passed away suddenly right before playing their first show. John is surely missed\, and\, in his honor\, the show must go on. How cool is it to have both Frampton’s bass player and his former studio/live sound engineer working with Baron on this tribute? Frampton knows what they are doing\, and the band is are looking to making him proud! \n\n  \n  \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:TED NUGENT with SPECIAL GUEST KURT DEIMER
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. \nRising rock musician\, actor\, songwriter\, and film producer Kurt Deimer is launching a thrilling new chapter in 2026. He’s got his ambitious second LP\, A Grog Is Born\, which touches on everything from bruising hard rock to epic balladry\, dropping May 8; his standout character The Grog in the upcoming Paul Boyd film Scared to Death (out March 13); and the expanded universe of videos\, songs\, and live events that ties all of these wild projects together. A Grog Is Born – featuring the Top 40 Active Rock radio single “In Deep” featuring Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd – was produced by five-time GRAMMY-winning producer Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day\, Breaking Benjamin)\, who also produced Deimer’s first official solo debut\, And So It Begins… (2025)\, and features contributions from Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X. A Grog Is Born is a more expansive and cinematic collection that overtly connectsDeimer The Singer and Deimer The Horror Star under the Grog moniker. The new 12-track album\, available via his own Bald Man Records\, finds Deimer taking a major leap as a vocalist and bandleader\, stretching out his instrument beyond distinctively low speak-singing into a more robust melodic style. His more confident and colorful delivery\, elevated by years on the road—including a run opening for rock giants Buckcherry and Steel Panther as well as tours with Sebastian Bach\, Tesla\, and Drowning Pool—allowed him to explore an even more impressive range of styles. Deimer flexes his creepiest muscles on his newest single “Scared to Death\,” a haunted-house rocker that also appears in Boyd’s upcoming irreverent horror comedy of the same name. “Scared to Death” is where all things Deimer converge. But A Grog Is Born never lingers in one space for too long – it has\, as he puts it\, plenty of fascinating “twists and turns.” One of its centerpiece moments is a gorgeous reinvention of Queensryche’s 1990 prog-metal anthem “Silent Lucidity\,” featuring guest vocals from that band’s Geoff Tate. A Grog Is Born also shows Deimer’s progression as an all-around multi-talent. The music\, the movies\, the videos – it’s now all intertwined\, with much more on the horizon. This is the moment of connectivity\, both literally and figuratively\, that Deimer has been waiting for. \nBuy Now
