SUMMARY:MICHAEL SCHENKER–”MY YEARS WITH UFO” USA TOUR 2025 with SPECIAL GUEST JARED JAMES NICHOLS
DESCRIPTION:MICHAEL SCHENKER: Guitar legend Michael Schenker is bringing his iconic UFO classics back to the stage! Experience a night of rock history as he performs songs from his legendary years with UFO\, celebrating the release of “My Years with UFO”. The world of rock guitar has always been illuminated by a few virtuosic stars who shine brighter than the rest\, and among them\, Michael Schenker stands out as a comet blazing across the night sky. His tenure with the British hard rock band UFO during the 1970s remains one of the most celebrated periods in the annals of rock\, elevating UFO from underground sensations to rock legends. Now in 2025\, Michael Schenker is set to celebrate those glory days with his new album ‘My Years with UFO’ alongside today’s rock elite. Produced by Michael Schenker and Michael Voss\, the new album marks the 50th anniversary of Schenker’s era with UFO\, spanning from 1972 to 1978. Touring the globe as a teenager\, Schenker became a driving force behind some of UFO’s most loved tracks\, such as ‘Doctor Doctor’\, ‘Rock Bottom’\, and ‘Only You Can Rock Me’. The first single off the new album\, ‘Mother Mary’\, breathes new life into this classic\, bringing together Michael Schenker’s and Slash’s unmatched guitar work with Erik Grönwall’s soaring vocals. \nJARED JAMES NICHOLS: You can’t teach the blues. It’s not something that can be codified in music books or learned on YouTube. It goes much deeper than that and it comes from the inside. It’s about the way the guitar strings are bent\, and the sound gets transmuted directly from a player’s soul. It’s simple at the end of the day. Either you’ve got it\, or you don’t. JARED JAMES NICHOLS has definitely got it. The Wisconsin-born\, singer\, writer and guitarist’s channels blues grit and gusto through bombastic arena-size rock ‘n’ roll. It’s raw\, raucous and righteously real. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:THE ORCHESTRA starring ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA and ELO PART II MEMBERS
DESCRIPTION:The Story Began in 1970… \nThe story starts in 1970 in Birmingham\, England\, where the Electric Light Orchestra began their journey as one of the world’s most popular rock bands. Their music was characterized by a fusion of Beatlesque pop\, classical arrangements\, and futuristic iconography. Mik Kaminski joined the band in 1973 with his legendary blue violin. The classic lineup of ELO solidified in 1974 with the addition of bassist/singer Kelly Groucutt and orchestrator Lou Clark\, who augmented the band’s unique orchestral rock sound with his inventive classical arrangements. Mik\, Lou\, and Kelly played their way onto an astonishing library of hit records that sold more than 50 million copies. The albums include Eldorado\, Face the Music\, A New World Record\, Out of the Blue\, Discovery and Xanadu.\nAfter the original line-up of ELO broke up in 1986\, drummer Bev Bevan created ELO Part II in 1988 with English guitarist Pete Haycock\, American keyboardist and songwriter Eric Troyer\, and ELO former members Kaminski\, Clark\, Groucutt\, and cellist Hugh McDowell. The band later recruited English guitarist Phil Bates to fill out the lineup. Groucutt\, Bates\, and Troyer were all accomplished lead and harmony singers which provided an abundance of vocal riches that pushed the band’s classic sound into fresh sonic territory. Phil Bates left ELO Part II in 1998 and was replaced by American singer\, songwriter\, and guitarist Parthenon Huxley. In late 1999 drummer Bevan retired and was replaced with American drummer Gordon Townsend. The band began touring as THE ORCHESTRA in 2000. The new lineup released a brilliant album called No Rewind. The album features original songs by Kaminski\, Troyer\, Huxley\, and Groucutt\, as well as a stunning interpretation of “Twist and Shout.” Nine years later in 2009\, THE ORCHESTRA bassist and congenial front man\, Kelly Groucutt\, suddenly passed away the day after performing a concert with the group in Berlin\, which was a devastating shock to the band and to class rock fans around the world. His boyhood home features a plaque honoring Kelly’s accomplishments with ELO. THE ORCHESTRA recruited occasional ELO Part II member and former Styx bassist\, guitarist\, songwriter\, and singer Glen Burtnik to fill Kelly’s spot center stage. While Lou Clark’s multi-talented son\, Louis Clark Jr.\, worked with ELO Part II in the 90s\, he became a permanent band member with THE ORCHESTRA in 2015. The father and son team lived the dream of performing together onstage around the world until 2021 when Louis Clark Sr. passed away. Louis Jr. now carries on in his late father’s role as orchestral keyboardist and symphonic conductor\, along with the occasional romp on cello and guitar. These days multi-instrumentalist Cliff Hillis joins the band on select shows and brings an extra layer of vocals\, guitar\, and sometimes bass to THE ORCHESTRA’s dynamic sound. In 2024\, the documentary No Rewind: The Orchestra Starring ELO Former Members was released\, providing rare behind-the-scenes band footage\, stories of life on the road\, and performances of each song from the album No Rewind. Edited together in a music video style\, the film is a fast-moving reveal of how this iconic band has earned its place in rock and roll history. Over the years the members of THE ORCHESTRA have played ELO’s greatest hits to millions of fans in over fifty countries. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:THE LENNON PROJECT – A BEATLES TRIBUTE
DESCRIPTION:SoundTracks Of A Generation is proud to present the songs and the life of John Lennon in a chronological soundscape starring Jay Goeppner.  This 100-minute retrospective begins in 1966 when the Beatles made the momentous decision to stop touring and concentrate solely on music composed in the studio which led to albums like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band\, Rubber Soul\, Revolver\, The White Album\, Abbey Road\, and the rooftop concert for Let It Be\, as the Beatles’ final performance. The second half of the show showcases Lennon’s solo career from The Plastic Ono Band\, to his signature album Imagine\, to Sometime In New York City\, Mind Games\, Walls & Bridges and Rock & Roll. The show concludes with selections from John and Yoko’s final recording\, Double Fantasy\, released prior to his death on December 8\, 1980. Goeppner and his crack Soundtracks band intertwines these songs with multimedia images to create the monumental musical and emotional impact that John Lennon brought to the world. \nBuy Now
