Mr. Jimmy

Mr. Jimmy at Fremont

MR. JIMMY (Akio Sakurai) has dedicated his life to honoring Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page. For 40+ years, he recreated vintage and historical Zeppelin concerts note-for-note in small Tokyo clubs, until the real Jimmy Page stopped by one night and Akio's life changed forever. Inspired by Mr. Page's ovation, Akio would quit his "salary man" job, leave behind his family and move to L.A to try and make it in America. Now touring the world as Jason Bonham's guitarist and promoting his documentary, Akio continues to help cary the torch of Led Zeppelin's music for fans around the world and future generations to come! Join us Friday October 17th at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo as we celebrate the 50 year anniversary of Led Zeppelin's 1975 U.S Tour. This show is a live recreation. The setlist, the outfits, the stage gear and the improvisation all reflect the time period in an effort to transport the audience back to 1975! Watch the MR. JIMMY documentary streaming on Apple TV, Youtube, Google Play and Amazon Prime Video!

Ziggy Marley & Burning Spear

Ziggy Marley & Burning Spear at Vina Robles

PASO ROBLES, Calif. – March 31, 2025 – Reggae icons Ziggy Marley and Burning Spear are set to perform at Vina Robles Amphitheatre, Saturday, October 18, as part of their Do The Reggae Tour. The tour also includes a stop at another Nederlander Concerts-operated venue The Backyard in Sacramento. Tickets for the Vina Robles Amphitheatre performance are available via Ticketmaster, Thursday, April 3, at 10AM. Ziggy Marley is a nine-time Grammy winner, Emmy winner, musician, producer, activist and humanitarian who has cultivated a legendary career for close to 40 years. After two decades as the driving creative force behind the Melody Makers, a band he formed with his siblings, Ziggy’s first solo tour came in Summer 2002 where he released his first album. Ziggy has hewed his own path as a musical pioneer, infusing the reggae genre with funk, blues, rock and other elements through mindful songcraft. Equal parts master storyteller and motivational guide, he deftly explores issues from environmental awareness to self-empowerment, social injustice to political inequity, while returning again and again to the transformative power of love. Since 2017, Marley has been the lead producer and force behind the Bob Marley: One Love biopic released February 14, 2024, breaking Valentine’s Day box office release records. The film was heralded as reviving box offices following the writer / actor strikes and is quickly becoming one of the top grossing music biopics of all time. Paramount to his music and entertainment focus, Marley transforms his success to champion political and philanthropic causes. Ziggy initially served as a Goodwill Youth Ambassador for the United Nations and participated in Bob Marley Foundation initiatives worldwide. He later expanded his ambitions by founding his own charity, U.R.G.E. (Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightenment), a non-profit organization whose mission ranges from building new schools to operating health clinics, supporting beneficiaries including Food for the Poor, Health Care International, the Chepstowe Basic School in Jamaica and HOLA (Heart of Los Angeles). LEARN MORE ABOUT URGE at www.urgefoundation.org. Burning Spear’s impact on reggae music is profound. A true legend, Spear’s legacy through his music is one of self-reliance and self-determination for the African diaspora. Also known as Winston Rodney, his career spans over six decades. Burning Spear has won two Grammy Awards for Best Reggae Album; one at the 42nd Grammy Awards in 2000 for “Calling Rastafari,” and one for 2009’s “Jah Is Real.” He has been nominated for a total of 12 Grammy™ Awards. He was awarded the Jamaican government’s Order of Distinction for outstanding services to music in 2007. Burning Spear’s legacy as a reggae legend is everlasting, and his music continues to inspire and uplift audiences around the world. His influence can be heard in the work of countless artists who have followed in his footsteps, and his message of love and unity remain as relevant today as ever. Lastly, special Guest Bam Marley has also been added to the show's lineup.

The Hip Abduction

The Hip Abduction at Fremont

Sometimes inspiration strikes from the immersion of living in a far away place. The view of the ocean. The sound of a rainforest at sunrise. The smell of an open-air market. The embrace of the wild human experience. However, maybe the nostalgia for a certain place might be attributed instead to a feeling, or a time, or even a person. Sometimes, inspiration stems from a place that everyone can relate to, but maybe no one's actually been. This is the music of The Hip Abduction, the vibrant St. Petersburg, FL-based collective that formed over a mutual appreciation for West African and early Jamaican reggae/dub music.

Alabama-bred and Nashville-based, comedian, actress, and content creator, Danae Hays represents a fresh, new female voice in the comedy, acting, and music worlds. Her cast of zany southern characters and parody country music songs have pushed her to the top of the Spotify and Apple Music charts, earning her a cumulative following of 3.6M+ followers and nearly 2 billion views. Danae's debut Country/Comedy single "Rode Hard" peaked at No. 5 on the Country Global iTunes Charts, No. 8 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales, No. 22 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales, and No. 34 on Billboard's Emerging Artists. True to her multi-hyphenate nature, Danae's passion for acting landed her a role in "Mother Nature and the Doomsday Prepper" (which she just returned from filming in the spring of 2024) and "Summer Camp". Additionally, Danae has co-and-guest starred alongside many of the most notable names in entertainment including Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard, Tanya Christiansen and Josh Peck.

Bronco

Bronco at Vina Robles

PASO ROBLES, Calif. – July 28, 2025 – Iconic Mexican grupero Bronco returns to Vina Robles Amphitheatre as part of their Dejando Huella Tour, Saturday, October 25. The highly anticipated tour kicked off at the Bésame Mucho Festival in Austin, Texas earlier this spring and is set to wrap in San Diego in November. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster, Friday, August 1, at 10AM. Hailing from Apodaca, Mexico, Bronco is one of the most legendary groups in Mexican music history. Now they’ve thrown on their cowboy boots and spectacularly embroidered jumpsuits and hit the road with their mix of traditional norteño sounds with elements of pop and modern instruments. Bronco began drawing crowds with their modern take on regional Mexican music in the 1980s and 1990s. Band members José Guadalupe Esparza, Ramiro Delgado, Javier Villarreal and José Luis "Choche" Villarreal began blending the traditional norteño sounds of accordion and bajo sexto with pop elements and modern instruments like the keyboard. The group paired their popular sound with eye-catching jumpsuits, and fans couldn't get enough. Bronco released their debut album Te Quiero Cada Día Más in 1980, but it was their 1989 album, A Todo Galope, that gained them international attention. The album's popularity resulted in a tour across the United States, Puerto Rico, Spain, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, and many other countries. In 1990, Bronco even appeared in the movie Bronco La Película (Bronco: The Movie). They achieved further fame on the small screen in 1993, when the members provided the theme song for and starred in the Televisa soap opera “Dos Mujeres, un Camino” (Two Women, One Road) with Erik Estrada. In 1997, the group released La Última Huella as a farewell album when group member José Guadalupe Esparza announced the band would break up so he could pursue a solo career. Luckily, the hiatus was only temporary because, in 2003, Bronco finally reunited, but this time under the nickname their fans had given them, El Gigante de America. They intended to use the name Bronco but couldn't in Mexico due to a copyright dispute with their ex -manager. The group's 2004 return album Sin Riendas went straight to No. 1 on both the Latin Albums and Mexican Regional Albums charts. The band was able to reclaim their original name in 2017, and they have been legally playing as Bronco in Mexico since. Bronco has released dozens of albums, sold more than 12 million copies and has placed 16 albums in the Top 10 on the Mexican Regional Albums chart. The group has had quite a prolific career outside of music as well, lending their name to a comic strip, cartoon, a line of boots, perfume, and even a clothing line.

Yung Gravy

Yung Gravy at Fremont

Only the best things get better with age — wine, cheddar, 401ks, the list goes on. It turns out Yung Gravy gets better with age too. When you think about it, the name Yung Gravy says a great deal. It's perpetually youthful, and it oozes "sauce." As such, Yung Gravy uses his own special recipe to bring originality and positivity to make his one-of-a-kind impact on the genre. Gravy flexes his passion for soul music and oldies in his production, sampling a wide range of musical styles dating from the 1940's to the present-day. Nostalgic and often-jubilant melodies paired with heavy trap drums form the usual canvas for his signature baritone voice — reminiscent of Barry White. Showcasing effortless flows and endlessly quotable lyrics, Yung Gravy paints something truly unique while clearly having a good time doing so. In the span of six short years, Gravy has transformed from Soundcloud stalwart to platinum powerhouse. To date, his accolades include four platinum and five gold singles as well as 10 sold out tours across North America, Europe, and Australia. He has collaborated with his self-proclaimed musical heroes, including Lil Wayne, Chief Keef, Juicy J, T-Pain, and the late Young Dolph. Gravy became the soundtrack, and unofficial second mascot, of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and was given an honorary Stanley Cup Ring. He starred in a worldwide commercial campaign with Martha Stewart, and weeks later performed for the VMAs and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Not to mention, he partnered with Audible, Venmo, Samsung and Jimmy John's for campaigns. Tallying 6 billion streams and selling 5 million units thus far, he's notched four entries on the Billboard 200, two in the Top 30 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart, and two on the Top 20 of the Top Album Sales Chart. For all of the swagger and style he exhibited upon his arrival, he managed to become even smoother since his introduction in 2016. After streams in the billions, packed venues, and "side missions" with Martha Stewart, he decided to lock himself in the studio and load up a plethora of certifiably saucy bangers lined up for release in 2025.
