He has since made history as the only male artist whose first seven singles reached the Top 5 on the Billboard charts.    Richard has also written on a No. 1 single in each of the last four decades, an accolade previously only reached by Michael Jackson.

Performing to critical acclaim for nearly 30 years and over 3300 shows, Dark Star Orchestra continues the Grateful Dead live concert experience. The seven-piece band performs shows based on actual Grateful Dead set lists from their 30 years of touring, or creates unique sets from the Dead's extensive catalog. This approach allows fans both young and old to share in the experience while offering a continually evolving artistic outlet within this musical canon. Dark Star Orchestra offers much more than just the sound of the Grateful Dead—they truly encapsulate the energy and experience. It's about that sense of familiarity and contagious energy that creates the complete concert experience fans expect. The band has featured guest performances from six original Grateful Dead members: Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, Vince Welnick, and Tom Constanten, plus longtime Dead soundman Dan Healy. Other notable guests have included Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman of Phish, Warren Haynes, Steve Kimock, and many more. "For us it's a chance to recreate some of the magic that was created for us over the years," explains keyboardist and vocalist Rob Barraco. "We offer a sort of historical perspective at what it might have been like to go to a show in 1985, 1978 or whenever. Even for Deadheads who can say they've been to a hundred shows in the 90s, we offer something they never got to see live."

clipping. at Fremont

The critically acclaimed West Coast-based experimental hip-hop trio, "clipping" is fronted by Tony and Grammy winning actor, rapper and writer, Daveed Diggs along with producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson. They initially rose to prominence with their debut album MIDCITY and follow up, CLPPNG. In 2016 they released their opus, SPLENDOR & MISERY, a science fiction concept album that garnered international critical acclaim, including a Hugo Award nomination for Best Dramatic Presentation. This was only the second time ever a music album was nominated for a Hugo Award, putting them up against the likes of GAME OF THRONES and BLACK MIRROR. Their follow up, THE DEEP, garnered similar attention including another Hugo Award nomination as well as influencing a Simon & Schuster published novel of the same name. Most recently the band diverted from their sci- fi storytelling and released a set of horror-based concept albums, THERE EXISTED AN ADDITION TO BLOOD and VISIONS OF BODIES BEING BURNED. Line of Best Fit's Jack Bray hailed it as "sonically intriguing" and "another successful experiment for the group and one of the eeriest examples of modern hip- hop to date."

Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra

Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra at Fremont

Ottmar Liebert's global success can be attributed to a myriad of things – his creative vision, his determination, and a strong sense of melody. Born in Cologne, Germany, he began playing guitar at 11. Before the age of 19, Liebert had intended to stay in Germany and pursue a career as a designer and photographer. However, while journeying extensively through Asia and playing with other travelers and local musicians, he realised that he could not escape a life of music. After pursuing his dreams of playing rock music in Boston, he settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe was a fresh start for Liebert in many ways and in addition to returning to the acoustic guitar, he remained open to letting the place define the music he made. It was this openness to the local landscape that defined what was to become his musical style, a mix of Spanish, Mexican and World elements, strong melodies tinged with a shade of melancholy, balanced with upbeat rhythms. Liebert founded the first incarnation of his band, Luna Negra, in 1989. His debut album began as a self-produced release called Marita: Shadows and Storms, copies of which local Native American artist, Frank Howell, distributed in his art galleries. After the record made its way to radio stations, it began generating a buzz among programmers and received unprecedented response among listeners. Higher Octave Music picked it up and released a fully remastered version, Nouveau Flamenco. Recorded for less than $3,000 on an old analog machine in a shack beside a gravel pit, this CD became an international sensation, establishing Liebert's unique border-style flamenco, and becoming the best-selling instrumental acoustic guitar album of all time: 2 x Platinum – USA 14 x Platinum – USA/Latin Platinum – Australia Platinum – New Zealand Gold – Canada Gold – Mexico Visual art has always been essential to Ottmar Liebert's world-view and even today he is an avid photographer. "My music is visual," Liebert says. "Santa Fe has great light, that special thing you get in the high desert. Some days you can see for 100 miles, and think you can reach into the sky or walk off a ridge and keep flying. That's how I felt when I recorded Nouveau Flamenco." Liebert has since become one of the most successful instrumental artists of the past decades, entertaining audiences around the world and releasing a catalog of 33 classic albums including live recordings, an orchestral album for Sony Classical, a binaural surround sound recording, remix albums, a lullaby and a flamenco-reggae album. During his career, he has played more than two thousand concerts worldwide. Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra have played two concerts with the New Mexico Philharmonic featuring Liebert's music arranged by bassist, Jon Gagan. These two concerts, to date, have broken attendance records for the New Mexico Philharmonic. Ottmar Liebert has been nominated for five Grammy awards. Of Liebert's thirty-three albums, there are some that stand out. Borrasca (1991) was Grammy nominated, but it is exceptional in Liebert's mind for another reason. Although everyone wanted him to make another Nouveau Flamenco, this album went in a different direction. He added horns and piano, giving the album a different vibe and sound. Solo Para Ti (1992) featured two songs on which Carlos Santana played. Santana's was the first concert Ottmar Liebert ever attended and he was a huge influence on Liebert's melodic playing. The Hours Between Nights + Day (1993), nominated for a Grammy, mixed the Japanese koto, with the flamenco guitar; on this album, Liebert used his electric guitar for the first time since the mid-eighties, and combined programmed drums with live percussion. He also ingeniously layered field recordings with the original music creating a musical odyssey that is dreamy and atmospheric. The album contains the only Spanish language version of the Marvin Gaye hit Mercy, Mercy Me Opium (1996), again nominated for a Grammy, was the first album recorded in Liebert's new studio in Santa Fe. Liebert received many accolades for this album from fans around the world and emails and letters from listeners describing how evocative Opium was. La Semana (2004) was the first album Liebert engineered by himself. It was the first time there was no sound engineer on the "other side of the glass" and Liebert discovered that at first, he played what he had planned but then after he dropped this, it was just "pure play". One Guitar (2006), also nominated for a Grammy, was a milestone album for Ottmar Liebert in that it was his first solo guitar album. Waiting n Swan (2015) is special to Liebert because to him it reconnects two branches of rhythm – tangos flamenco and reggae, proving that there is no such thing as "purity" in music. slow (2016) is an album which Liebert felt it was incumbent upon him to make a statement against the sound of billions of smart phones beeping with the latest news, likes and comments, keeping us in a state of constant alarm. His album is framed around the notion that a slow tempo can change listeners' heartbeats and blood pressure.

#IMOMSOHARD: The Flashback Tour

#IMOMSOHARD: The Flashback Tour at Fremont

#IMOMSOHARD began as a popular web series by real-life best friends, comedians, and moms Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley. One night, over a glass of wine and many tears of frustration, these two friends decided to tell a different kind of story. With a camera, two husbands, a babysitter, and bottomless mimosas, Kristin and Jen decided to speak openly about their fears and failures and to prove that the only way to survive motherhood is through laughter and friendship. The video was a smash hit, sparking an online community of two million of the most engaged followers – confirmation that moms and women everywhere need to laugh and be heard. Kristin and Jen went on to create weekly videos about all things womanhood and motherhood: hemorrhoids, nipple hair, sex after marriage, mom bods, spanks, wedding dresses, and swimsuits. (Yes, they wore them on camera.) The videos have received nearly 300 million views worldwide in just five years, which has led to over 3 million followers, four sold-out national tours, branded deals, a podcast, a New York Times bestseller, and a TV deal. They're now on their fifth original nation-wide tour playing to thousands of fans every night. Both women write and produce the #IMSH series with a common goal – maybe we can make you feel better about the job you're doing, if you see the terrible job we're doing.

Carlos Mencia: The Liberated Tour

Carlos Mencia: The Liberated Tour at Fremont

Comedian Carlos Mencia is best known for his raw and unfiltered style of comedy, which he has showcased to great success on comedy stages, and in television shows and movies.  He has recently gone back to his comedic roots on his LIBERATED comedy tour, sharing his newest material with smaller, more intimate audiences, and has a residency twice-weekly at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club in Las Vegas as part of the "Stars of Comedy" series.  As a comedian who finds the hilarious irony in both the day-to-day and the newsworthy events, Carlos is never lacking in material; his current stand-up special "Here I Am" is streaming digitally now.    Carlos will also reprise his role as Felix Boulevardez in Disney+'s "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder," the revival of the groundbreaking animated series "The Proud Family."  The show is heading into its second season. Mencia comes from a humble background, born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the 17th of 18 children. His parents sent him to the United States when he was three months old, where he was raised in the Maravilla Projects in Los Angeles by his aunt and uncle. In his early teens, Mencia moved back to Honduras.  When Mencia returned to Los Angeles, he showed such educational prowess that he pursued a career in engineering.  But an amateur night at the world-renowned Laugh Factory comedy club would change his path, and a career in comedy began.  He became a regular at The Comedy Store, performing nightly. After he found success on the Los Angeles comedy circuit, Mencia was named International Comedy Grand Champion from Buscando Estrellas (the Latin version of Star Search), eventually landing on shows such as "In Living Color," "The Arsenio Hall Show," and "An Evening at the Improv." Mencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining stand-up tours and starring in stand-up TV specials. In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special. Comedy Central soon took notice and the show "Mind of Mencia" went into development. Created by Carlos and comedy producer Robert Morton, the comedy series featured Carlos and his crew with their merciless mix of up-close stand-up, unconventional street interviews, and shocking commercial parodies.  The show was an instant hit, and propelled Mencia to the comedy elite.  After the first season, Comedy Central signed Mencia back for an original stand-up special, "Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached," the first Comedy Central Stand-up Special DVD to achieve Platinum sales status. Throughout the four seasons of "Mind of Mencia," Carlos never stopped performing live, headlining shows across the country and internationally.  "Comedy is my art, and fans are my passion," he has said.   Always looking to give back to those fans, Mencia has entertained troops serving overseas for USO tours in Turkey, Kirkuk, Baghdad, Qatar, Afghanistan, and many other countries. Later, Mencia went on to star on the big screen.  He starred opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in "The Heartbreak Kid," and in the family-comedy "Our Family Wedding," alongside America Ferrara and Forrest Whitaker. Carlos Mencia presently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons.

Two Feet: The Next Steps Tour

Two Feet: The Next Steps Tour at Fremont

Two Feet Zachary William "Bill" Dess, known by his stage name Two Feet, is an American singer, songwriter, and producer from New York City. A multi-instrumentalist, Dess is one of the few artists today who writes, plays, sings, and produces all his own music in his studio. Reviewers have called his music "mesmerizing" and noted his "silky vocals, low-key beat." He is a blender of genres and makes some of the most raw and original, emotionally alive music today. Two Feet's songs are atmospheric and moody due to spacious arrangements and muscular hip-hop-tinged beats. Dess combines a soulful electric guitar with floor-rattling bass to create his unique sound. Blues and jazz accents add backbone and exacerbate the mournful undertones of Dess' smoky, conspiratorial voice that knows of heartbreak, anxiety, and uncertainty. In early 2018, Two Feet released his third EP, A 20 Something F*CK, which contains I Feel Like I'm Drowning, his breakthrough song that hit No.1 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. Following this EP, he released the albums A 20 Something Fuck (2018), Pink (2020), Max Maco Is Dead Right? (2021), and Shape & Form (2022). His fifth studio album Drunken Fits of a Modern Age will be released in early 2026. Two Feet's songs have more than a billion streams across Spotify, YouTube, iTunes, and SoundCloud. He's performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He has headlined U.S. and international tours to sell-out audiences. With over 8.2 million monthly listeners (2.56 million million followers) on Spotify (with a conversion ratio of 26.6%), 1.7 million subscribers on YouTube, 784,000 followers on TikTok, and 275,000 on IG, he is one of the most watched and listened to alternative, independent artists working today.

Silversun Pickups

Silversun Pickups at Fremont

Silversun Pickups' sixth album Physical Thrills came together as a serendipitous accident during a dark time. The LA band began 2020 by touring in support of their record released the previous year, Widow's Weeds. But the pandemic halted those plans, with the members including guitarist and singer Brian Aubert, bassist Nikki Monninger, drummer Christopher Guanlao, and keyboardist Joe Lester, finding themselves stuck at home. In that resting period, Aubert wasn't focused on Silversun Pickups; instead, he channeled his energy into taking care of his son, Nico, while his wife Tracy worked. But as much as his focus initially shifted from the band, he couldn't escape the new melodies germinating in his head. "I would sneak off and start writing these songs, and I didn't know what they're for because I didn't really think about Silversun on any level. I was just doing it to keep myself calm and keep myself company," says Aubert. The songs were so different from what he'd previously written for Silversun Pickups that he initially thought he was writing a musical. There were "dream shanties," gentler vocals, horror-inspired sounds, and other exciting new elements coming to mind. The band finally was able to gather in person for a live-streamed acoustic performance on Halloween for The Dark Zone Network's virtual music festival Queen Mary, and it was there that Aubert revealed the new material to his bandmates. They readily embraced the new direction—and so did producer Butch Vig. The band reunited with Vig, who first worked with Silversun Pickups on Widow's Weeds, recording the record at the famed producer and Garbage member's home. When Aubert first reached out to Vig, he wasn't sure if the band was making an EP or a full record; Widow's Weeds was still fresh for Silversun Pickups. But once Aubert made plans to visit Vig and play him what he had, the music began pouring out. He immediately began recording with Vig, later having the rest of the band join. Once the band began working on Physical Thrills together, they made some of Silversun Pickups' most stunning songs yet. The record doesn't depart drastically from the sound the band's fans know and love, but rather enhances it with previously-unexplored fixtures at play. Physical Thrills was colored by the pandemic, but isn't meant to be solemn; instead, Aubert explores his own comfort in the temporary, newfound isolation. There's a juxtaposition of playfulness with angst from having so much time to process untapped emotions. That's something that comes through in the album's instrumentation, too, with wide-ranging sounds that transform according to the weight of the lyrics. There are tracks with shoegaze-infused distorted synths and guitar, like opener "Stillness (Way Beyond)"; bouncy, pop-tinged danceable tunes ("Empty Nest," "Hereafter (Way After)"); pared-down ballads ("Alone On A Hill"); and a collection of "dream shanties," as Aubert refers to them. The titles of those shanties call back to "Dream At Tempo 119" off the band's 2006 debut record, Carnavas, tying the band's beginnings with the current, evolved iteration of Silversun Pickups. But, this time, the instrumentation matches the lyrics. Aubert forgoes the heavy guitars to instead create magical lullabies: "Dream At Tempo 050," "Dream At Tempo 310," and "Dream At Tempo 150." Each carries a secret code in the title with numbers personal to Aubert. With such an exploratory record, the band members felt free to traverse new ground. Guanlao, who usually shies away from fills on drums, took inspiration from The Beatles documentary Get Back, throwing some into Physical Thrills, influenced by Ringo Starr's work on Let It Be. Whereas for Monninger, this record allowed her to showcase her vocals at the forefront more than in previous work. Joe also took a larger role in composition on this record, writing the piano part for "We Won't Come Out," which became the backbone for the song. The making of Physical Thrills also allowed for whimsical moments, including Aubert creating a distinct tapping noise by incorporating the sound of drumsticks hitting Vig's Grammy in "Hidden Moon," and playfully pelting balloons at Monninger while she played "Hereafter (Way After)" on bass to create less tension. While this record features such an eclectic mix of melodies, each song is interconnected with each other, meant to be experienced as a whole body of work. "All of our records are designed for people who want to listen to them all the way through and hopefully stick around with it," says Aubert. "After a while, maybe you'll catch on to the little things—not just the [pattern of] the dream songs, but maybe you'll hear that, and you'll hear a melody from the first song in the last song. There are crossover things happening." Lester says, "Physical Thrills is exactly the record that we wanted to make, which I'm really stoked about because sometimes you look back and think, 'Well, that's maybe not exactly how we would have done it' when you go back and listen to it years later.' But I feel really proud of this one. I think the songs that Nikki sings on are like the best ones we've done for her to sing on. The lyrics are better than they've ever been." Monninger adds, "We've been together for twenty-two years; it's really interesting that we still love doing this. We know that we're fortunate to still be together after all these years, seeking out the silver lining. I feel like we still have many more things to say, and we're so happy with how this album turned out."

Nick Lowe

Nick Lowe at Fremont

Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello-Graham Parker-Pretenders-The Damned), songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart, short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians' musician. But in his current 'second act' as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. Starting with 1995′s 'The Impossible Bird' through 2024's Indoor Safari' Nick has turned out a fantastic string of albums, each one devised in his West London home, and recorded with a core of musicians who possess the same veteran savvy. Lowe brings wit and understated excellence to every performance, leading Ben Ratliff of the New York Times to describe his live show as "elegant and nearly devastating."

Gary Numan

Gary Numan at Fremont

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.

An Evening with Emerson, Lake & Palmer

An Evening with Emerson, Lake & Palmer at Fremont

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...

Tommy Emmanuel, CGP

Tommy Emmanuel, CGP at Fremont

Guitar icon Tommy Emmanuel C.G.P. is no stranger to iconic stages from Nashville's Ryman Auditorium to London's Royal Festival Hall and Paris' L'Olympia. The legendary entertainer has dazzled audiences across the world. But there is something truly magical about the Sydney Opera House, and the magic of Tommy's performances there has finally been capture on his new album Live at the Sydney Opera House. "The moment and power in these hours spent playing music, is perfectly preserved here on this record." Tommy says. "I hope you can feel the intensity of our musical and spiritual relationship… a bond built on a life freely given to all". Tommy performed two spellbinding shows on the Concert Hall stage in May 2023, with the best of both performances represented here. The setlist showcases the most beloved songs of Tommy's career – classic compositions like "Tall Fiddler," "Mombasa" and "Country Wide," recent fan favourites like "Fuel" and "Sail On" and his now iconic arrangement of "Classical Gas" and his thrilling "Beatles Medley." Tommy has a Grammy Award, multiple ARIA Awards and countless accolades, but nothing means more to Tommy than the three letters Chet Atkins designated at the end of Tommy's name: C.G.P. The title of Certified Guitar Player was the highest honor Atkins could bestow on another player – a signifier that the recipient had not only mastered the instrument but taken it to new vistas and become a guiding light for the next generation of pickers. Like Tommy, Chet had never gone to a university, and the C.G.P. was his version of a PHD or a Doctorate of the guitar. He gave the honor to Tommy and only five other handpicked players. As a songwriter and a performer, Tommy is a melting pot of influences across genres, form pop to bluegrass and jazz to rock n' roll. To him, music is rhythm and emotion, all other distinctions are meaningless. Anyone who has seen Tommy play will tell you, the vocalist is there, as is the drummer, the bass player and the rhythm and lead guitarists. In a way that must often be seen to be believed, Tommy plays all the parts of a full band simultaneously, his fingers dancing around the fretboard with a dexterity and speed that would seem impossible if you weren't witnessing it. Tommy's determination to entertain and move audiences through the power of music, remains undimmed as he closes in on his seventh decade as a performer. He can turn a jazz café into a cathedral or a radio station performance into the Ryman. But there is still something that a truly iconic venue like the Sydney Opera House – a mecca for music; that brings out the best in him. To have witnessed the pin drop silent audience hanging on every note of "Sail On," the propulsive rhythm of "Classical Gas," the impossible bluegrass speed-picking on "Tall Fiddler" and the delicate wringing of melody out of Paul Simon's immortal "American Tune," is to experience the communion of music at its most pure. That is Tommy Emmanuel, Live at the Sydney Opera House.

The title of Certified Guitar Player was the highest honor Atkins could bestow on another player – a signifier that the recipient had not only mastered the instrument but taken it to new vistas and become a guiding light for the next generation of pickers. Like Tommy, Chet had never gone to a university, and the C.G.P. was his version of a PHD or a Doctorate of the guitar. He gave the honor to Tommy and only five other handpicked players. As a songwriter and a performer, Tommy is a melting pot of influences across genres, form pop to bluegrass and jazz to rock n' roll. To him, music is rhythm and emotion, all other distinctions are meaningless. Anyone who has seen Tommy play will tell you, the vocalist is there, as is the drummer, the bass player and the rhythm and lead guitarists. In a way that must often be seen to be believed, Tommy plays all the parts of a full band simultaneously, his fingers dancing around the fretboard with a dexterity and speed that would seem impossible if you weren't witnessing it. Tommy's determination to entertain and move audiences through the power of music, remains undimmed as he closes in on his seventh decade as a performer. He can turn a jazz café into a cathedral or a radio station performance into the Ryman. But there is still something that a truly iconic venue like the Sydney Opera House – a mecca for music; that brings out the best in him. To have witnessed the pin drop silent audience hanging on every note of "Sail On," the propulsive rhythm of "Classical Gas," the impossible bluegrass speed-picking on "Tall Fiddler" and the delicate wringing of melody out of Paul Simon's immortal "American Tune," is to experience the communion of music at its most pure. That is Tommy Emmanuel, Live at the Sydney Opera House.

The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton

The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton at Vina Robles

AVTT/PTTN – Scott and Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton, legendary frontman of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle – unveiled their new self-titled album, out via Thirty Tigers, Ramseur Records and Ipecac Recordings. Alongside the release, the group announced a major 2026 US tour, which will make stops in Nashville, Austin, Boston, Brooklyn, and more — including the band’s festival debut at Big Ears in Knoxville, TN, on March 28, 2026. This tour will bring AVTT/PTTN to Paso Robles, CA on May 9, 2026, with a performance at Vina Robles Amphitheatre. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 5 at 12PM via Ticketmaster. Written by the Avetts and Patton, and produced by Patton, Scott, and GRAMMY-winning engineer Dana Nielsen (Metallica, Rihanna), the album represents more than just “one of the most unexpected collaborations of this (or any) year” (Consequence) — it’s a true full-circle moment. “Mike’s part of our DNA, like the fabric of our youth,” says Scott. “Literally, we studied him. He’s a dear friend now, but when we were younger, I was imitating him.” Patton adds, “My peculiar challenge in this was to become a long distant cousin. A brother that was orphaned. Maybe they kept him in the chicken coop or some shit. They brought him out years and years later.” The album opens with the gentle acoustic guitar of “Dark Night of My Soul,” where Patton’s seasoned croon merges with the Avetts’ voices for a rich three-part harmony. Elsewhere, the scuzzy stomp of the folk classic “The Ox Driver’s Song” and the driving fuzz of “Heaven’s Breath” push the Avetts into new sonic terrain, while showcasing Patton’s trademark dynamic range. Lead single “Eternal Love” flourishes as a meditation on the universal pull of love, capturing both its enduring beauty and the weight it can carry. Each track reflects the unusual way the record was built — songs sketched by Scott, reshaped by Patton, and then reimagined again with Seth — a process that gave the music its distinct character and balance. The unanticipated trio might not quite remember how they all first came into contact, but call it serendipity that their casual exchange of admiration grew into a genuine creative partnership. As the group traded songs and ideas across coasts, AVTT/PTTN came to fruition, showcasing Scott, Seth, and Mike at their most adventurous. “This is what art is,” Scott reflects. “This is what making is supposed to be: in secret and with no ambition.” About The Avett BrothersFour-time GRAMMY Award nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their critically acclaimed 2009 major label debut, I and Love and You. In 2012, The Carpenter hit #4 on the Billboard 200, followed by Magpie and the Dandelion in 2013, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200. The 2017 documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers (co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio) chronicles the process of writing 2016’s True Sadness, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums, #1 on Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200, and scored two Grammy nominations. The film was released theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews and is available on DVD/BluRay/VOD. In 2019, the band released their tenth studio album Closer Than Together featuring the single “High Steppin’” which reached #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. The Third Gleam came out amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, #1 Rock Albums, #1 Vinyl Albums, and the single “Victory” hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. This year saw the release of The Avett Brothers, an album that is as much untitled as it is self-titled: a collection of songs that revealed themselves naturally over time. Swept Away - a musical inspired by & featuring the music of The Avett Brothers - recently debuted on Broadway. The Avett Brothers have been inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and have earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association. They are currently on tour throughout the US. About Mike PattonMike Patton is a Renaissance man in the truest sense of the word. From his time spent with genre-defying alternatives acts like Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, to his multitude of collaborations including the deconstructed-pop of Peeping Tom, the rock-centric Tomahawk, and the Italian language orchestral classics he covered with Mondo Cane. His career has also ventured in film composing for movies such as Crank: High Voltage and A Place Beyond The Pines, voice acting in I Am Legend and multiple video games, and starting his own record label, Ipecac Recordings, showing there is no limit to what Patton can do.

Panchiko

Panchiko at Fremont

Panchiko is beginning to settle into rockstar life. It's different from how the UK band imagined it when they were teens, crafting ethereal, at times cosmic bits of heart-forward rock music to little outside interest, playing shows to nearly empty rooms. They set aside their hopes of becoming full-time musicians and pursued other careers. Their high school artistry became a distant memory. But that all changed in 2016 when an internet user discovered Panchiko's discarded 2000 demo CD, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, in a Nottingham charity shop and posted it to 4chan to intrigue and fanfare. It took four years for Panchiko's legions of dedicated fans to find the people behind the music, but when they did, Panchiko's long let-go-of dreams became an imperative to pursue. Millions of curious listeners were swaying to their adolescent creations; it was time for them to meet their moment. Panchiko — which reformed in 2021 with original members Andy Wright (keyboardist and producer),  Owain Davies (vocalist and guitarist), and Shaun Ferreday (bassist) alongside new members Robert Harris (guitarist) and John Schofield (drummer) — pursued their new path with vigor. Upon discovering their own virality in 2020, they toured the world and wrote, recorded, and released their first album in 20+ years, 2023's Failed At Maths. But after the thrill of the whirlwind came a new question. What comes next when your dreams come true? The answer is Ginkgo, a 13-track project that finds the band making some of their most introspective, cinematic, and moving music yet. "The whole production has gone up ten-fold," says Wright of the new album. They were finally able to quit their day jobs and dedicate themselves to music full-time, which changed their process completely. "If you have a bit of time, you can make something really great." Plus, the band got their own studio in Nottingham, which they refer to as their "teenage dream." With time and space, making Ginkgo became a very different, slower process than the creation of Failed at Maths, which they recorded while balancing their nascent music career with day jobs — alongside the stuff of life, like the birth of Wright's child. You can hear the result of this slower approach on tracks like "Chapel of Salt," where the lyrics have a gravelly wisdom. "Obsolescence, greatest lessons/ You can't afford to miss/Don't go quietly in the night see/You're too good for this," sings Davies in a steady register, before the music veers towards the stars. Here too, the music feels bigger than Panchiko's earlier work which was colored by a bedroom intimacy. The sonic and lyrical scale is grander, but maybe a bit more weary and lived-in as well. The lessons of experience were on the band's mind. After touring the world with songs they had written as teenagers, Panchiko was beginning to craft music that reflected their current, more adult reality, like on "Lifestyle Trainers," a drifty swirl of guitar plucks and synth pads that finds the band reflecting on the winding road of long term commitment. But even as Panchiko explored the particulars of middle age, the teenage versions of themselves (the versions that wrote D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L) were still floating in their minds, especially given the fact that Panchiko's fans skew younger themselves. That's clear on album standout "Shandy In The Graveyard" (featuring billy woods) which Davies shares "came from [him] reconnecting with the feeling of being the age of the audience that comes to see [them]." That youthful spirit can be felt in the song's sonic world, as its production genre shifts between trip-hop and orchestral folk. Woods's inclusion is fitting given that American artists and the experience of touring throughout the States has made an indelible impression on Ginkgo. Most of Panchiko's fans reside in the States, a place they had little connection to before their virality. "We don't normally do a lot of shows in England, because nobody likes us there," jokes Wright. "We were too ahead of the time." Seeing the expanse of a foreign country brought out new sounds and textures for the crew. It's apt then that the album opener is titled "Florida." "I was playing around with some samples in the van whilst we were driving through Florida," remembers Davies of creating the track. "Writing on the road is cool because you don't have all the toys in your toy box. You're using what you got."  That makes sense given that "Florida" is marked by a diverse set of sounds and musical leaps, a vast landscape of guitar flourishes, and almost alien sonic textures. New places, a new generation of listeners, a whole new life — the shock of their circumstances often leads Panchiko to reflect on the youth they've lost since they recorded their high school demo. "We had to delete 'My Mortgage Repayments Are Going Up,'" laughs Wright, offering a sarcastic song title. And while they decidedly did not record an album about the tedium of adult living, they did make a record that truthfully reflects their grounded station in life. That was bolstered by the fact that Panchiko made the record largely at home in Nottingham. With that, the simple promises of home are evoked in every moment of the record, and on the cover — a picture of Wright's young daughter that she took herself. "She had just turned two at that point. She ran off with my phone and our album cover was done," Wright shares. Even though they paid an artist a hefty advance to make original artwork, they decided to forgo that art for the picture. It said it all. "It's pure," adds Davies. "It's not contrived in any way." The cover is an invitation to consider the expanse of Panchiko's experience, from adolescence and teenage artistry onward. The same wrenching honesty that attracted legions of fans to their teenage demos is the same truthful ethos that keeps them listening to new material. That full-hearted ethos may be most audible on the title track, "Ginkgo." On it, Davies sings "You command the leaves to fall/The Ginkgo bends at will." A rumination on the limits of control, collaboration, and fate, the song is an apt meditation for a band whose resurgence came about through a mix of luck, artistry, and then clear-eyed energy. They couldn't "command the leaves to fall" when they were teens trudging up the improbable hill of rock star success, and they still can't. But like the Ginkgo tree itself, their roots grow deep, which makes the going all the easier.
