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.

SUMMARY:CHRISTONE "KINGFISH" INGRAM & SAMANTHA FISH with SPECIAL GUEST DYLAN TRIPLETT
DESCRIPTION:CHRISTONE “KINGFISH” INGRAM: Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a rare 21st century guitar hero and the undisputed future of the blues\,” Christone “Kingfish” Ingram stands at the crossroads of history and innovation\, channeling the spirit of the Delta while boldly reimagining what comes next. Now\, with his new album\, Hard Road\, Kingfish looks back at his extraordinary GRAMMY® Award-winning journey thus far by lighting out for previously unexplored musical territory\, infusing his signature sound with a genre-blurring approach fraught with creative urgency and heretofore untapped emotional range. Hard Road is Ingram’s most sophisticated and musically ambitious collection yet\, one which renews the long tradition of the blues by welding it to multiple strains of contemporary Black music. Songs like “Nothin’ But Your Love” and the fiery “Voodoo Charm” see Kingfish effortlessly uniting classic blues licks with hard rock\, no-holds-barred funk\, soulful pop\, and velvety R&B\, all with resounding immediacy and astounding eloquence. With each album\, Kingfish has upped his already prodigious game\, not only in his breathtaking guitar playing but in the increasing strength of his deeply personal songcraft and vocals marked by a depth of expression well beyond his 26 years. Kingfish’s six-string prowess first turned heads when he was still but a teenager. Though steeped in the tones of  B.B. King\, Albert King\, and Buddy Guy\, what set Ingram apart was how he expanded the form\, blending in funk\, soul\, rock\, pop\, and jazz to create what has proven an evolving body of work that has drawn accolades\, acclaim\, and honors from all corners of the globe. 2019’s debut album\, Kingfish\, topped Billboard’s “Blues Albums” for an incredible 91 weeks and earned him his first GRAMMY® Award nomination\, plus three Blues Music Awards\, including “Album of the Year.” Kingfish followed up with 2021’s 662\, titled after his hometown MS area code\, which won both the GRAMMY® Award and Blues Music Award for “Best Contemporary Blues Album.” In 2023\, the incendiary Live In London received yet another GRAMMY® Award nomination as well as his second Blues Music Award for “Album of the Year” and third consecutive triumph in the “Best Contemporary Blues Album.”  \nSAMANTHA FISH: One of the most formidable guitarists of her generation\, Samantha Fish deals in her own unmatched brand of bravado\, bringing both mind-blowing power and extraordinary emotionality to everything she creates. Since first introducing the world to her larger-than-life talent\, the multi-award-winning festival headliner has built a triumphant career whose latest milestones include earning a Grammy nomination for Death Wish Blues (her 2023 collaboration with rocker Jesse Dayton) and opening for The Rolling Stones on their final 2024 U.S. tour date. On her new album Paper Doll\, Fish offers up nine powerhouse songs that hit with an unstoppable force\, each delivered with an exquisite dose of illuminating insight\, soul-soothing empathy\, and—above all—newly heightened clarity of vision. “It’s taken me years to finally find my voice in a studio setting\,” Fish admits. “But with this record I took everything I had and slammed it right on the table.”  A consummate music obsessive who lists such eclectic artists as Prince\, Leonard Cohen\, and Black Sabbath among her influences\, Fish found herself especially fascinated with Delta blues heroes like Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside in the writing of Paper Doll.  AS a born performer who got her start by thumbing through the phone book and cold-calling local bars for gigs in her mid-teens\, Fish crafted every song on Paper Doll with an eye toward her incendiary live show. “The main goal is to make great songs that tap into whatever I’m feeling at the moment\, but at the same time I’m asking\, ‘How is this going to feel live?’” she says. “I’m always thinking about how to add to our arsenal of songs and put together an amazing show for when we’re back out on the road.” \n\nDYLAN TRIPLETT: Dylan Triplett\, an emerging blues musician from St. Louis\, has made a significant mark in the thriving blues scene with his soulful voice and raw emotion\, he has captivated audiences across the country and around the globe. A 2023 Blues Award winner\, Dylan seamlessly combines classic blues elements with his unique style\, creating a sound that’s both timeless and contemporary. His electrifying performances\, whether delivering heartfelt ballads or energizing the crowd with upbeat tunes\, showcase his genuine talent undeniable charisma.\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nBuy Now
