Kevin Ross
Wednesday, April 22
$25/$28/$32/$35
Kevin Ross is a multi-faceted singer, songwriter, and producer who quickly went from performing once every three months to opening for R&B/Soul legend
Maxwell five times a week. In 2012, the Washington, D.C. native signed a major recording deal with Motown Records and released his first major project, Dialogue in the Grey (EP), two years later. Known for his soul-drenched, buttery, smooth vocals, he was named AOL's "Best New Artist of 2014" and landed a national holiday campaign with Glade that brought joy to American households across the country.
Ross released his long-awaited debut full-length album The Awakening in March of 2017. The album's first single, "Long Song Away" peaked at #1 on Billboard's Adult R&B Song chart and at Urban Contemporary
Radio with the follow-up single "
Don't Go" cracking the Top 15. The chart-topping success of The Awakening led to Ross receiving several award nominations: Best New Artist (Soul
Train Awards), Outstanding New Artist (NAACP Image Awards), and New R&B Artist (iHeart
Radio Awards) and headlining his first national tour. In
September of that same year, he released his third studio project, Drive (EP).
Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes
Monday, May 11
$55/$65/$68/$75
Southside Johnny and the Asbury 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. Just last year, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes released the highly-acclaimed Soultime!, their first new studio album of all original material in five years, on Leroy Records. Soultime! celebrates the transformative power of '70s soul music and represents a return to-as Southside sings-"just letting the music take us away". This latest release encapsulates everything that fans cherish about Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. The pattern of horns plus rhythm-each song painted with catchy choruses, top-notch string arrangements and gospel charged vocals-keeps on coming.
With a decades-long successful career, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes continue to deliver their soul-searing brand of raucous blues and R&B, with material mined from their many albums, featuring hits like "I Don't Want To Go Home," "Love On The Wrong Side Of Town," "The Fever," "This Time It's For Real," "
Talk To Me" and their definitive fun-time cover of "We're Having A Party."
Chris Knight
Thursday, May 21
$25/$28/$32/$35
For the past 20 years, Chris Knight has only made music his own way. He's released eight acclaimed albums, played thousands of electrifying live shows and built generations of fervent fans from
Texas honky-tonks to Manhattan rock clubs. He's been hailed as "the last of a dying breed...a taciturn loner with an acoustic guitar and a college degree" (The New York Times) and "a storyteller in the best traditions of Mellencamp and Springsteen" (USA Today). He's hard-earned his reputation as one of America's most uncompromising and respected singer-songwriters. And now with his newest album,
Almost Daylight, Knight delivers the most powerful-and unexpected-music of his career.
Delbert McClinton
Friday, August 7
$58/$65/$68/$72
It's been a big year for Delbert McClinton, as he has earned the Americana Association's Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance, celebrated the 26th annual
Sandy Beaches Cruise, and is riding the wave of his fourth Grammy. For more than five decades, McClinton has performed country, blues and honky-tonk music. The
Texas blues rocker is touring with fresh material from his most recent studio CD, The Early Years, released in 2016. McClinton is a 2011
Texas Heritage Songwriters' Hall of Fame inductee known for "Giving It Up for Your Love," "Livin' It Down," "Old Weakness," "Leap of Faith," "
I Wanna Love You" and The Blues Brothers' "B-Movie Box Car Blues."
