Billy Gardell currently stars in the CBS series Bob Hearts Abishola, from award-winning creator, executive producer and writer Chuck Lorre. Bob Hearts Abishola is a love story about a middle-aged compression sock businessman from Detroit who unexpectedly falls for his cardiac nurse, a Nigerian immigrant, while recovering from a heart attack and sets his sights on winning her over. Undaunted by Abishola's lack of initial interest or the vast differences in their backgrounds, Bob is determined to win Abishola's heart, in this comedic examination of immigrant life in America. Prior to BHA, Billy Gardell starred in the CBS hit television series, Mike & Molly as Officer Mike Biggs from 2010-2016. Mike & Molly continues to air in syndication to this day. In addition, he starred as Col. Tom Parker in the CMT series, Sun Records and has had a recurring role on another CBS hit series, Young Sheldon. In 2016 he received a daytime Emmy nomination as best gameshow host for Monopoly Millionaires Club. Before Mike & Molly, Gardell co-starred in the critically acclaimed television series Lucky. His other television credits include Yes Dear and Judging Amy, on the Network, My Name is Earl, The Practice, Monk and Gary the Rat. He made his major motion picture debut alongside Anthony Quinn and Sylvester Stallone in Avenging Angelo, and had a memorable scene with Billy Bob Thornton in the Cohen Brother's film Bad Santa. He also appeared in You, Me & Dupree. As a standup, Gardell took the long road to Hollywood, stopping at every small town lounge, military base and comedy club along the way. His comedy act took him to Los Angeles where his dedication to acting, along with touring as a stand-up comedian, allowed him to grow consistently in both arenas. His stand-up show is a powerhouse. His grounded, down-to-earth point of view strikes a strong chord with American audiences. Stories about his rough childhood, wild adolescence and new family life are executed with the skill of a master craftsman. As a standup comic, his comedy specials, Billy Gardell: Halftime, premiered on Comedy Central and Billy Gardell Presents Road Dogs premiered on Showtime. A native of Pittsburgh who currently lives in Los Angeles, Gardell loves Steeler football, stand-up comedy and his wife Patty, and son Will.

May, 1979. It's an ordinary Thursday evening, which means it's time for Top of the Pops. Amidst a zeitgeist of punk and disco, the show suddenly appears to be interrupted by a transmission from the future. A luminous synth riff echoes out, a beat drives on and up steps an otherworldly figure - part robot, part alien - to deliver an enigmatic lyric depicting some kind of android existence in a dystopian future. It's Gary Numan fronting Tubeway Army for their breakthrough hit 'Are 'Friends' Electric?'. Of the millions that are watching, few would've recognised that this moment foreshadows the shape of music to come, from synth-pop to industrial and alt-pop. That, however, can't stop it igniting the imagination of an audience that would swell into a devoted following. Fast-forward to January, 2021. Numan's first single 'Intruder' (from the Intruder album) pulsates ominously as if it's soundtracking an imminent threat. As austere synths loom like shadows and industrial beats are detonated, the beguiling hook towers like a beacon in the darkness. It's visionary and venomous, with a narrative that imagines the Earth growing angry at mankind's actions, and more than willing to fight back. In the accompanying video, Numan looks even more out of time than he did back in 1979, like an intergalactic refugee fighting for his own existence. Those two songs show how Numan has consistently fought against the grain to stick resolutely to his creative vision. In a career that spans over forty years, the music evolves and the themes change. But fans remain fascinated by Numan for the very fact that he's so uncompromising. Any story charting four decades will be a mixed blessing of momentous highs and meagre lows. The achievements are remarkable for someone who never made any concessions to mainstream success. Seven Top 10 singles, including 'Are 'Friends' Electric?' and the debut solo hit 'Cars'; eight Top 10 albums, three of which topped the charts; and huge critical acclaim, most notably with the Inspiration Award at the prestigious Ivor Novellos. Naturally, there were times when Numan was very much not in vogue. Sure, there would be ripples of rediscovery but there were years when his increasingly conceptual albums were primarily embraced by hardcore fans. He wasn't troubling the charts, but audiences were still flocking to see him perform - almost every UK tour would include a sold-out show at the 5000 capacity Hammersmith Apollo. Gradually, though, praise from Nine Inch Nails, Prince and David Bowie led to a reappraisal of his work. And that has been magnified in recent years with Kanye West, Lady Gaga and Dave Grohl citing him as an influence. And so, a new narrative emerged. An unlikely icon returned to the top while making music that was darker, fiercer and more inventive than ever. 'Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)' set the ball rolling by peaking at #20 in 2013, its precise, post-industrial sound delving into Numan's experiences with depression. He started a new deal with BMG in 2017 and released 'Savage (Songs From A Broken World)', an album which depicted earth as a barren wasteland in which humanity and culture had been largely crushed by the effects of global warming. 'Savage' hit #2 in the UK charts. His next album, 'Intruder', presented a fresh but complementary narrative. It's a philosophical examination of a potential future apocalypse: the planet can only survive by purging its inhabitants. 'Intruder' also hit #2 in the UK charts. Numan explained: "'Intruder' looks at climate change from the planet's point of view. If the Earth could speak, and feel things the way we do, what would it say? How would it feel? The songs, for the most part, attempt to be that voice, or at least try to express what I believe the earth must feel at the moment". The planet sees us as its children now grown into callous selfishness, with a total disregard for its well being. It feels betrayed, hurt and ravaged. Disillusioned and heartbroken it is now fighting back. Essentially, it considers human kind to be a mistake, a virus attacking the planet. Climate change is the undeniable sign of the Earth saying enough is enough, and finally doing what it needs to do to get rid of us, and explaining why it feels it has to do it." Partially written and recorded during lockdown, it's no surprise that current circumstances have been assimilated into its themes. It's especially evident in 'The Gift', which evolves from a sparse introduction into a resonant Middle-Eastern sonic motif. It imagines Covid-19 as the first weapon that the planet deploys in order to eradicate mankind and once again flourish. While anger and vengeance rage in its opening chapters, 'Intruder' charts a wider spectrum of emotions. 'Is This World Not Enough' and 'A Black Sun' exude regret and then despair that this fate could've been avoided. The finale presents a black-hearted double-bill to bring the curtain down on the tale. First 'Now And Forever' offers a hope of eternity in the end days during its theatrical intensity, before the sparse, sorrowful 'The End Of Dragons' ends on the chilling reminder that what's broken can't always be fixed. Collectively the album proves that Numan's creative spark shows no sign of being extinguished. Numan toured the Intruder album at over 130 shows around the world, finally ending in mid 2024 when he toured the US with Ministry. Since then he's been back in the studio writing and recording his next (and 23rd) album, due out in early 2026. This one looks at a near future world where humanity lives or dies based on the whims of an AI controlled system. He did take a few weeks out of the studio to play a major UK tour in the Fall to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of his 'Replicas' and 'The Pleasure Principle' albums, both UK Number 1's when first released. That's just a snapshot of the tale behind one of music's most singular talents. The full story can be found in Numan's critically acclaimed autobiography '(R)evolution', which The Observer described as an, "exhaustive, entertaining and often poignant life story." What comes next will surely be just as intriguing.

Created by Carl Palmer and his management, the show will be presented with the full cooperation of the Estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE ACT- THIS IS THE REAL THING.  Through modern technology they will reunite the band: Carl with his two bandmates, playing together along with Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, who both passed away in 2016. The show combines video performance of  Emerson and Lake from a legendary sold out ROYAL ALBERT HALL ELP show from 1992 with live on  stage performances of Carl Palmer with his own ELP Legacy band (Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick). . All the musicians play together in sync to present a complete and authentic Emerson, Lake & Palmer show. Emerson, Lake & Palmer (informally known as ELP) was an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of the Nice, Greg Lake of King Crimson (vocals, bass, guitar, producer), and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster (drums, percussion). With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide, they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson's flamboyant use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group). The band became prominent after performing at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. In their first year, the group signed with E.G. Records (who distributed the band's records through Island Records in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in North America) and released Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1970) and Tarkus (1971), both of which reached the UK top five. The band's success continued with Pictures at an Exhibition (1971), Trilogy (1972), and Brain Salad Surgery (1973, released on ELP's own Manticore Records label). After a three-year break, Emerson, Lake & Palmer released Works Volume 1 (1977) and Works Volume 2 (1977). After Love Beach (1978), the group disbanded in 1979. The members played in various solo and partial reunion combinations during the 1980s. In 1991, the original trio re-formed and released two more albums, Black Moon (1992) and In the Hot Seat (1994), and toured between 1992 and 1998. Their final performance occurred in 2010 at the High Voltage Festival in London to commemorate the band's 40th anniversary. Emerson and Lake died in 2016, leaving Palmer as the only surviving band member. In 2022, Palmer and his manager developed and launched the show initially as THE RETURN OF EMERSON LAKE & PALMER show, again with the full cooperation and involvement of both the Keith Emerson and Greg Lake estates.  The show has been re-branded for 2025 as AN EVENING WITH EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER.   Here are some links to videos that highlight various details about the show (click links to view videos): Welcome Back - The Return of Emerson, Lake & Palmer - 2023: Return of ELP Sizzle Reel The Return of ELP - How the show was created Carl Palmer explains the separate audio tracks used for The Return of ELP Both fans and critics have been raving...

PROG MAGAZINE "A groundbreaking multimedia tour/experience geared around the 50th anniversary of the legendary musical trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer."

Hawaiian superstar Maoli brings his signature island sound to Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Saturday, April 18, 2026. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster, beginning Friday, December 19 at 10AM (local). The new show follows an unveiling of a fully reimagined version of his acclaimed album Last Sip of Summer. Last Sip of Summer (Island Vibe Edition) breathes new life into each track while staying true to his island roots. Listen to/share The Island Vibe Edition HERE. “Last Sip of Summer was always about capturing a feeling—now the whole album breathes island air,” says Maoli. “We didn’t just remix the album—we reimagined it. Last Sip of Summer was born in the sun, but now it’s soaked in reggae. Every track hits warmer, heavier, and closer to where we come from.” He recently wrapped up his successful Last Sip of Summer U.S. headline tour, with major stops including Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, two nights at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena, Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena and more. Maoli’s musical journey began in seventh grade, when he learned to play the ukelele. However, it wasn’t until years later that he fully returned to music, with some encouragement from his uncle. His now storied 15-year career is marked by a series of albums and singles, including covers of hits like Brett Young’s “Mercy” (25+ million Spotify streams) and “In Case You Didn’t Know” (10+ million Spotify streams). Last year, Maoli and Young collaborated on a new song, “Broke Heart Break.” Breaking into the mainstream with his unique mix of island reggae and country soul, Maoli aims to put his people on the map like they’ve never been before, revealing the common bonds between country folks and island lifers. In 2018, Maoli rediscovered his country roots, having seen the similarities between his music and modern country, from the melodies and strong rhythms to the tradition of simple-life storytelling. In 2010, his sophomore LP, Rock Easy, landed in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Reggae charts with three #1 singles: “Breaking My Heart,” “Whisper” and “Rock Easy.” In 2020, Maoli won Group of the Year and Album of the Year for the record, Sense Of Purpose, at iHeart’s Island Awards, followed by Album of the Year and Song of the Year in 2021. In 2023, the band embarked on their “Maoli Music Overload (MMO)” tour, selling more than 45,000 tickets across four cities in Hawaii, in addition to selling 11,500 tickets on the MMO US tour plus several Festival appearances including Cali Roots and Holo Holo Fest Sacramento.
