SUMMARY:THE LETTERMEN
DESCRIPTION:The world may define harmony as a combination of musical sounds considered to be pleasing; The Lettermen define harmony as Lettermenizing- Since the groups inception\, The Lettermen have always taken a current song of the day and put their 3-part harmony to it which is called Lettermenizing a song. Donovan Tea\, Bobby Poynton and Rob Gulack\, each of whom are entertainers in their own right\, have kept the meaning of harmony alive with their soft\, romantic\, harmonic-blend of music which is as popular with their fans today as it was in 1961\, when The Lettermen recorded their first hit\, “The Way You Look Tonight”. While always honoring their roots\, modern audiences are showing a resounding love for the “Letterminized” new arrangements of “Never Enough” from the mega-hit The Greatest Showman\, “Sugar” Medley (“I Can’t Help Myself”\, “Sugar”\, “How Sweet It Is”) and “Happy” Medley (“Happy”\, “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy”\, “Happy Together”). These talented individuals interestingly play with the harmonies on songs like “Suspicious Minds”\, “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” and “Over The Rainbow” as their amazing vocals continually swoop over one another\, mesmerizing audiences all over the world. The one constant of The Lettermen that has remained through the years is the unique three-part harmony as only they can achieve. Though musical tastes have changed over the years\, The Lettermen legacy continues. Harmony will always endure the true test of time – just as The Lettermen have stood the test of time\, cementing them as the most romantic singing group of a generation. \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:THE HIGH KINGS - THE ROCKY ROAD TO DUBLIN - 2026 TOUR
DESCRIPTION:Ireland’s leading folk group\, The High Kings\, are set to excite fans once again with the announcement of their Rocky Road Tour 2026. As global ambassadors of Irish heritage and storytelling\, The High Kings have consistently brought the timeless tradition of folk music to audiences worldwide\, earning them chart-topping success and\nwidespread acclaim. With their signature blend of classic tradition and modern edge\, The Rocky Road Tour promises to be a vibrant showcase of Irish culture\, energy\, and musicality. It was their inclusion on the soundtrack of Sinners—the current #1 movie worldwide\, starring Michael B. Jordan and directed by Ryan Coogler—that marked a defining moment in their global recognition. The film’s soundtrack\, already topping international streaming charts\, was curated by Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer\, The Mandalorian\, Black Panther)\, a long-time admirer of The High Kings’ distinctive vocal blend and musicianship.\nAfter attending their sold-out show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles earlier this year\, Göransson selected two tracks—“The Rocky Road to Dublin” and “Go Lassie Go”—to feature prominently in the film’s score. \nThe Rocky Road Tour 2026 will build on this global success\, offering audiences a high-energy live show that reinforces The High Kings’ place at the forefront of Irish folk. With a renewed focus on storytelling\, musicianship\, and connection\, the tour reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to honoring Ireland’s folk legacy while pushing creative boundaries. \nBuy Now
