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.

After a long ride on a wave created by recording two of the biggest love songs in the history of music (“I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask For More”)\, and producing and starring in a tv series (Flippin’ Ships on Animal Planet); Edwin slowed his road schedule to dedicate more time to his primary roles as husband to his wife and father to their three young teenagers. His hit songs\, authentic spirit and surprisingly affable sense of humor keeps everyone coming back time and time again. The kids are grown-ish and Edwin’s fans are still clamoring for more. 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: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.

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.

A little bit of history—after Al’s family moved to Hawthorne\, California\, in the mid-50’s\, he met Brian\, Carl and Dennis Wilson along with Mike Love\, to form the band in 1961. Al played guitar\, arranged and produced many songs and sang lead on the No. 1 hit “Help Me\, Rhonda.” In 1988\, Al was inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Beach Boys and in 2001\, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy. \nIn 2026\, Al Jardine and The Pet Sounds Band perform the classic hits and rarities in a tribute to the late Brian Wilson—it’s a show that promises to keep the good vibes and beautiful harmonies of The Beach Boys’ timeless music alive for many more years! \nBuy Now
