Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - For Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes “comfortable” has never been a word associated with their brand of raucous, roots-tinged rock and bluesy reverie. The Jukes have more than 30 albums on their resume, thousands of acclaimed live performances across the globe, and a vibrant legacy of classic songs that have become hits to their large and famously-dedicated fan base. “With the Jukes, you’re out there every night leading this great rock n’ roll circus, giving it everything you’ve got,” says Southside Johnny Lyon.

Jim Breuer: The New Normal - With over 20 years of stand-up comedy experience, Jim Breuer remains one of today’s top entertainers and continues to win over audiences with his off-the-wall humor and lovable personality. He was named one of Comedy Central’s 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time. Breuer came to national attention during his years on Saturday Night Live and the cult classic film Half Baked with Dave Chappelle. He’s spent time opening for Metallica as part of their World Wired Tour, in addition to performing his own shows to sold out crowds across the country. He can also be heard on “The Jim Breuer Podcast.”

Dead on Live: Grateful Dead Tribute – Songs to fill the air! - With their unique approach of recreating all instruments, as well as the lush and complex vocal harmonies heard on the classic recordings of the 1970’s, Dead On Live has quickly become recognized as one of the top tribute acts around. Multi-instrumentalist, touring and recording veteran, Marc Muller (Shania Twain, Tommy Shaw, Bruce Springsteen) has assembled a cast of world class musicians to jam out with some good old Grateful Dead hits. 

Almost Queen - THE most authentic QUEEN live show since the days of QUEEN themselves. A deliberate four-piece band, Almost Queen delivers a live performance showcasing signature four-part harmonies and intricate musical interludes. Donning genuine costumes, Almost Queen recaptures the live energy and precision that is the ultimate Queen experience.
