Fantastic Negrito
ALL AGESSTANDING ROOM ONLY FANTASTIC NEGRITO 3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Fantastic Negrito releases his highly anticipated new album, Son of a Broken Man, on October 18 2024 via his own Storefront Records. The new album sees Fantastic Negrito encapsulating his inimitable style, from hard-hitting guitar riffs to expressive ballads, with the unexpected twists that have become his trademark. It stands as one of his most personal works to date, exploring family, deception, and the human desire to hide the true self as he dives deep into the struggle between father and son. Born Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz, Fantastic Negrito’s story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of music. By now much has been made of Negrito’s unique story – growing up in an orthodox Muslim household, a doomed major label deal, the near-fatal car crash that permanently damaged his guitar playing hand—as well as the remarkable redemption arc that began in 2015, when he won the first-ever NPR Tiny Desk Contest. He has since earned three GRAMMY® Awards for “Best Contemporary Blues Album,” and shared stages with everyone from Sturgill Simpson to Chris Cornell to Bruce Springsteen. He’s collaborated in the studio with the likes of Sting, E-40, and Tank and The Bangas, performed on countless headline world tours and at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, Newport Folk, and WOMAD, and founded the Revolution Plantation, an urban farm aimed at youth education and empowerment.
Austin Meade: Happier Alone Forever Tour
ALL AGESSTANDING ROOM ONLY AUSTIN MEADEThanks to his metal- and classic-rock loving dad, Meade got to see bands like Judas Priest and worshipped Whitesnake. In junior high he related to the intense emo-rock of Paramore and Fall Out Boy, and the power of songwriters like John Mayer. Yet, thanks to plainspoken but deep heartland songwriters like Tom Petty, and cutting his teeth touring in the Texas and Oklahoma Red Dirt scene, Meade’s music overflows with wide-open soulfulness. He was a drummer for years, even teaching to pay the bills, but Meade found his true voice when he began playing guitar as a teen in his pastor-father’s church. Those experiences lend both a gravitas and rebelliousness to Meade’s songs and self. Now the frontman of his own band slinging guitar licks withexpert precision, his music rolled out with two releases in 2014, his first EP “Long Ways To Go” followed by his first full-length album “Chief Of The Sinners.” His next EP “Heartbreak Coming” came in 2016 with a couple of singles to announce his commencement on the Texas Music Chart, followed by his second full-length album “Waves” in 2019. In 2021, Meade introduced his third LP ‘Black Sheep’ including the hit tracks “Happier Alone,” “Cave In,”‘Dopamine Drop,” and “Deja Vu.” Meade released his fourth LP ‘Abstract Art Of An Unstable Mind’ fall of 2022, further showcasing his abilityto seamlessly blend genres into a groovy yet piercingly fresh sound of rock ‘n’ roll. Now comes for a new era ushering in Meade’s latest rock EP ‘Pretty Little Waist’ featuring singles “Blackout,” released with Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, Stoner Fantasy, and “Insignificant Other” featuring Sam Canty and Lance Vanley of Treaty Oak Revival. COLE BARNHILL Hailing from what he calls “The music capital of the world,” Cole Barnhill began his Music career in Lubbock, TX playing local bars with his band at the age of 17. Over the past five years, his Texas Rock sound has garnered millions of streams on multiple platforms and steadily grown a large and loyal fanbase throughout Texas and its surrounding states. Cole and his boys pride themselves on putting on a high-energy, engaging rock show that no one will soon forget. Cole packs a punch with his striking melodic vocals and heavy guitars that are sure to get any crowd moving. Cole brings a refreshing sound and energy to an oversaturated music scene whose show leaves everybody wanting more. Cole is currently in the midst of release a 10 song album with the first of the releases “Daydreams” featuring Treaty Oak Revival, being an instant hit and a preview of what is to come in early 2025. DEVORA Raised in the desert of Arizona, Devora draws inspiration from her roots, growing up around desert creatures in a western town, experiencing the sinister lawless side of desert life, and the characters she’s met along the way. In her modern goth-western vignettes she conjures images of ghost towns, dark rodeos, the haunted desert, abandoned motel rooms, skylines on fire, the open road and reckless tales of love and loss in a modern wild west. Her sound bridges Alternative Country melodies with dark pop and rock hooks drawing you into her surrealist western world.
The Get Right Band & Supatight: Summer in the Winter BEACH BASH!
ALL AGESSTANDING/DANCING ROOM ONLY BEACH ATTIRE ENCOURAGED! THE GET RIGHT BAND The Get Right Band is a psychedelic indie rock group committed to relentlessly following their muses to honest self-expression, to whatever excites them and pushes them into unexplored territory, to capturing some version of truth. American Songwriter writes that the Asheville, NC based group, “filters 60’s/70’s psychedelia and 90’s alternative rock through a modern lens–as if Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Nirvana co-wrote an album produced by Danger Mouse and Dan Auerbach.” The Get Right Band formed in 2011, built around the musical brotherhood that guitarist/singer/songwriter Silas Durocher and bassist Jesse Gentry have formed playing music together since middle school. Durocher, who is a trained composer and has been commissioned to write for symphonies and chamber groups, has guitar chops that can soothe or rage, with a charismatic swagger as frontman and singer. Gentry’s virtuosic bass playing “catapults from elastic to nasty” (The Mountain Xpress). Completing the team is drummer extraordinaire Jaze Uries, who is also a singer, songwriter, producer, photographer, and DJ, and keys legend Chuck Lichtenberger, whose incredible playing has been a staple of the Asheville music scene for years. GRB has defined their sound through constant evolution, building to the hook-driven, synth-heavy pop/rock/psych band they are today. The Huffington Post writes, “their songs are infectious and take you immediately to a place. The lyrics are smart and bear weight.” The Get Right Band has shared the stage with Dr. Dog, Everclear, Cracker, UB40, Rusted Root, Smash Mouth, and Lifehouse; been featured on NPR’s World Cafe, Paste Studio, and WTF with Marc Maron; and performed at major venues and festivals including The Fillmore, Brooklyn Bowl, Theatre of the Living Arts, The Orange Peel, FloydFest, Bristol Rhythm & Roots, and Riverbend Fest. They have released four studio albums and a live album, and their latest LP, iTopia, dropped on April 7, 2023. The Get Right Band has been compared to other modern indie rock bands with a psychedelic bent such as The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket, Gorillaz, Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and MGMT.

EXTC – XTC’s Terry Chambers & Friends
ALL AGESSTANDING ROOM ONLY EXTC – XTC’S TERRY CHAMBERS & FRIENDS North American Cushty Tour 2025 TERRY CHAMBERS – drums STEVE HAMPTON – lead vocals, guitar TERRY LINES – bass guitar, vocals For almost four decades XTC fans could only dream of witnessing the sensational XTC classic songbook played live. That dream has now become a reality. XTC’s legendary drummer Terry Chambers is back on the road with his band EXTC (named and approved by XTC frontman, Andy Partridge). Emerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s XTC experienced global success touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. The band put their hometown of Swindon UK on the map. They achieved huge success in North America and Japan. Sadly their legions of loyal fans would be left in limbo when in 1982 XTC stopped touring becoming a studio-based entity.Fast forward to 2017 Terry returned to the UK from Australia and reconnected with XTC bandmate Colin Moulding. The two would go on to collaborate on new venture TC&I releasing an EP and live album. Sadly the project was short-lived with TC&I disbanding in early 2019. By now the flame inside Terry had been reignited. His time with TC&I made him realise he wanted to continue doing what he does best. His love and passion for playing music and performing live gave him the idea for his new project EXTC. Born in early 2019 EXTC would set out to achieve its goals of performing to audiences who had waited so long to hear the EXTC back catalogue performed live only to be bought to a standstill in 2020 due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.Terry was keen to get on the road with EXTC with a tour of the United States scheduled for autumn 2020. Unfortunately this would be postponed due to covid restrictions still in place the tour being rescheduled for the following year. The band eventually began gigging again in 2021 with sold-out dates around the UK. This would include the Isle of Wight Festival and gigs in Terry Chambers and XTC’s hometown of Swindon. The band would go on to do further successful tours of the United States and Canada with EXTC also heading to Japan in early 2023.EXTC has kept much of the original fan base from XTC’s glory days of the late 70s and early 80s as well as gaining a new following of fans in their own right. Enthusiastic fans have lapped up the chance to see Terry and EXTC perform all those classics live once more.Alongside Terry the EXTC line-up features frontman Steve Hampton (lead vocals & guitar – Joe Jackson, The Vapors and Dead Crow Road) and Terry Lines (bass & vocals – The Rams and Dead Crow Road). Originally a four-piece EXTC band members have changed frequently over recent years. EXTC announced in November 2022 that they are now moving forward as a three-piece. Terry Steve and Terry will bring you the full EXTC experience with their mesmerising and engaging live performances as you relive the heyday of XTC. With new material already in the works EXTC is a band on an upward trajectory. With their popularity gaining momentum and international tour schedules increasing it is clear the sky is the limit for Terry Chambers and EXTC!

TICKET PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT THE RIVER ARTS DISTRICT’S (RADA FOUNDATION) RECOVERY AND REBUILDING EFFORTS. **previously purchased tickets for the originally scheduled David Shaw show will be honored!!** ALL AGESSTANDING ROOM ONLY LIMITED QUANTITY OF VIP MEET & GREET EXPERIENCE TICKETS AVAILABLE (details below) THE REVIVALISTS The strongest bonds never bend, break, or burst. Such a bond forms the bedrock of anything worth fighting for, whether it be a family, a friendship —or a band. The Revivalists retain this union 15 years into their impressive career as they prepare to unleash their strongest material yet. Standing together, this eight-piece rock ‘n’ roll collective has made the journey from hole-in-the-wall marathon gigs to sold-out shows at hallowed venues a la Radio City Music Hall and Red Rocks Amphitheater, multiplatinum success, numerous national television performances, and more than 800 million streams. “Music, art, and creativity are a rallying point,” Andrew observes. “That’s what our band name and songs try to speak to. Being in communion with other people is what this is all about. That we can share this experience with others through music is something that we are so grateful for.” DAVID SHAW Following widespread success, sold out tours, and critical acclaim as frontman of multi platinum band The Revivalists, New Orleans-born singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist David Shaw introduced himself as a solo artist with his self-titled debut, David Shaw, in 2021. Beyond generating tens of millions of streams, it incited unanimous critical praise. Billboard hailed the single “Got Me Feeling Good” as “an uplifting, sing-along style anthem,” and NOLA.com applauded how “the album has a range of feel-good styles: fiery rock ’n’ roll, soul, funk, rhythm and blues and more. And there’s a staunch optimistic streak throughout.” American Songwriter christened the record “a bold break-out.” Between solo material and his output with The Revivalists, his songs have notably been played over 1 billion times and counting to date. During 2024, he takes the next step on his journey as he returns to the road and releases his new single “Take A Look Inside”. CROWE BOYS
