I’m excited for people to see the story of how they got back to the stage to continue performing,” said director Peter Curtis Pardini. “We’re excited to be bringing The Last Band on Stage to audiences worldwide. This funny and informative documentary offers an inside look at how the legendary band Chicago were able to produce content even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Gravitas Ventures’ Acquisition Coordinator, Mackenzie Maguire.

Al Di Meola

Al Di Meola at Fremont

Al Di Meola's ongoing fascination with complex rhythmic syncopation combined with provocative lyrical melodies and sophisticated harmony has been at the heart of his music throughout a celebrated career that has spanned four decades and earned him critical accolades, three gold albums and more than six million in record sales worldwide. A bona fide guitar hero, perennial poll-winner, and prolific composer, he has amassed over 20 albums as a leader while collaborating on a dozen or so others with the likes of the fusion supergroup Return to Forever (with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White), the celebrated acoustic Guitar Trio featuring fellow virtuosos John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia, and the Rite of Strings trio with bassist Clarke and violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. And while his dazzling technique on both acoustic and electric guitars has afforded him regal status among the hordes of fretboard fanatics who regularly flock to his concerts, the depth of Di Meola's writing along with the soulfulness and the inherent lyricism of his guitaristic expression have won him legions of fans worldwide beyond the guitar aficionado set.

Circle Jerks

Circle Jerks at Fremont

Circle Jerks emerged from the punk underbelly of LA's South Bay in 1979. After serving as a co - founder and lead vocalist of Black Flag during the recording of its essential Nervous Breakdown EP, Keith Morris joined forces with former Redd Kross guitarist Greg Hetson to form what would become Circle Jerks, along with bassist Roger Rogerson and jazz drummer Lucky Lehrer. Unlike much of the unapologetic hardcore that seeped through the cracks of American suburbia, the music of the Circle Jerks was thoughtfully steadfast, yet relentless and ferocious in nature. Bringing together a potent, articulate rhythm section with earnest yet oftentimes derisive lyrics and themes, the band was thereafter heral ded as a leader of the pack - and a force to be reckoned with. Plowing forward with a relentless, tooth - cutting work ethic and a rousing stage presence, the band would soon find itself headlining shows at LA's 5,000 - capacity Olympic Auditorium and emblazon ed in cult video classics like Decline of Western Civilization, Repo Man , New Wave Theatre , and The Slog Movie . Over the decades, Circle Jerks would release six studio albums, including the acclaimed Group Sex (1980) Wild in the Streets (1982), Golden Show er of Hits (1983), Wonderful (1985), and IV (1987), where they would become a major headliner during the alternative music explosion of the 80's and 90's. During hiatuses, Morris fronted bands like OFF! and FLAG, while Hetson played guitar in Bad Religion. Bassist Zander Schloss (The Weirdos, Joe Strummer) has been a member since the 1980's and veteran drummer Joey Castillo (The Bronx, QOTSA, Danzig, BL'AST!, Wasted Youth) completes the lineup as its newest member.

JP Saxe

JP Saxe at Fremont

The Toronto-born, L.A.-based multi-platinum singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JP Saxe has mastered the art of not holding back. He lets his words spill out in a way that feels raw and frank, while subtly shaping that highly detailed stream of consciousness into something that resonates universally. His music performs a similar trick, displaying the signs of prodigious talent but going down easy — a mix of hi-fi bedroom pop, piano balladry, breezy soul, and conversational R&B that shifts to meet every emotion. All of which explains how he quietly became a pop phenom, amassing over 3 billion streams and spending much of 2024 criss- crossing four continents via his sold-out headlining tour and (before that) opening for close collaborator John Mayer. Saxe's slow-burn rise began with 2019's unfortunately prescient "If the World Was Ending." The intimate, Finneas-produced Julia Michaels duet became what Apple Music called "the pre-eminent love song of the pandemic," earning 4X Platinum status, a Song of the Year GRAMMY® nod in 2021, and a Breakthrough Artist of the Year JUNO for Saxe. He quickly followed with his debut album, the playfully but accurately titled Dangerous Levels of Introspection, featuring acclaimed singles with Maren Morris and Mayer. The latter returned for 2023's A Grey Area, a sophomore set that found Saxe honing his highly expressive sound and heart-on-sleeve meets tongue-in-cheek approach, not to mention continuing a striking run of TV performances. Last year, he released A Grey Area (Live Sessions) and Live on Stage — love letters to the fans who pack every room he plays. Now, in 2025, Saxe turns the page with Articulate Excuses + Make Yourself At Home, a two-part album, and his most personal and lyrically daring project yet — a bold new chapter from one of pop's most introspective voices.

Chase Rice

Chase Rice at Vina Robles

PASO ROBLES, Calif. – May 27, 2025 – Chase Rice has added to his Go Down Singin’ International Tour 2025 to include a performance at Vina Robles Amphitheatre, Thursday, September 25. The Diamond-certified songwriter announced the expansion of the tour through the fall of 2025 today, with tickets available via Ticketmaster, Friday, May 30, at 10AM. For more information, please visit, ChaseRice.com. With the tour bringing Rice’s critically acclaimed album Go Down Singin’ to audiences across the globe, the Paso Robles stop sees him joined by fellow singer-songwriter Hannah McFarland. The international run highlights Rice’s widely celebrated artistic evolution in a live setting. As Billboard declares, “his new music leans toward rootsier, raw-rock driven sounds, trading party anthems for introspective lyrical themes,” while “his voice conveys a crackling warmth of self-reflection and an easy-going comfortableness with his new sound.” Rolling Stone highlights the album as “an excellent collection of poignant, often anthemic country,” noting that it finds Rice “trying to do what creative people are supposed to: grow and change,” while Cowboys & Indians proclaims that “maturity and clarity are the reality on Chase Rice's new album…what is sure to be one of 2024’s most well-received country albums of the year.” Rice further showcased this new direction with surprise follow-up project Fireside Sessions, which features all 25 songs from both Go Down Singin’ and prior album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell as live, single-take versions with cowriters including Lori McKenna, Jackson Dean, Hunter Phelps, Randy Montana and more as featured artists. His latest offering, the brand-new Live From Chief’s EP released in March as a surprise for fans, includes Rice’s takes on two songs from his heroes – Eric Church’s “Carolina” and George Strait’s “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” – as well as the previously unreleased original, “Cowboy Goodbye.” Listen HERE. For more information on all things Chase Rice, visit ChaseRice.com and follow on Facebook, Twitter and TikTok @ChaseRiceMusic and on @ChaseRice.>span class="s3"> About Chase Rice With more than 2.6 million albums sold and over 2.8 billion total streams, plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe, Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. With independent album Go Down Singin’ available everywhere now as the follow-up to the critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, and both brought together on the songwriter-forward Fireside Sessions, Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life; from emotional reckoning to an admiration of the American West. The new music serves as a follow up to his three-part project, The Album, which featured his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” and the Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Lonely If You Are.” This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited. The new music builds upon the success of his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, which featured the 3x Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. Lambs & Lions followed Platinum-certified Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; Platinum-certified “Gonna Wanna Tonight” and Double Platinum “Ready Set Roll.” In addition to guesting on sold-out stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours across the U.S. and beyond, with the Go Down Singin’ International Tour underway now.

The Head And The Heart

The Head And The Heart at Vina Robles

PASO ROBLES, Calif. – February 27, 2025 – The Head and the Heart have confirmed a May 9 release date for their sixth studio album, Aperture, which also marks their debut for Verve Forecast. New single “After the Setting Sun” is out today and can be streamed here. The new track follows the release of their own record setting #1 AAA single “Arrow” and a new, separate version of the track featuring Mt. Joy that supports victims of the recent LA fires. Aperture brings the band back to a DIY approach as it’s the first record self-produced by the band since their self-titled debut album in 2011. The band has also announced the “Aperture” tour kicking off on May 31 in Detroit. The tour includes stops at Central Park Summerstage in New York City, the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles, CA, and more. The tour will include stops at Summerfest and Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival this summer. See below for a full rundown of dates. Every ticket sold will add +$1 to donate to the band’s Rivers and Roads Foundation. The foundation, started by The Head and The Heart, raises money for local Seattle-based music programs and initiatives with an emphasis on equitable access to music education, and mental health resources and support for musicians. Tickets for the Vina Robles Amphitheatre show are available via Ticketmaster, Friday March 7, at 10AM. During more than 15 years together, The Head and The Heart have journeyed their way through a lot of different terrain – a critically and commercially revered debut album and follow up on stalwart indie Sub Pop, followed by three albums with big hits on major label Warner Records. But after touring in support of 2022’s Every Shade of Blue tour, they started asking questions. Where have we been and what’s next? Taking their future into their own hands, the band decamped to Richmond, Va., and hit the reset button with a grip of ideas in tow. As they did in their early years, band members handled production duties themselves. Staying true to their own creative vision was paramount, and through a year of sessions in their twin home bases of Seattle and Richmond, The Head and The Heart found their way forward by believing in their power as one. “I believe we’ve made a very great record together and obviously the title is an important aspect of the final product,” says group member Matty Gervais. “For me, Aperture represents the choice we all must make between resigning ourselves to darkness, or letting the light in and recognizing our own agency to do so. It feels relevant to the times, in that we’re literally choosing between authoritarianism vs. democracy. Ignorance vs. enlightenment on a macro scale, and complacency/cynicism vs. hope, empathy and perseverance on the micro scale. To me, it sums up a lot of what each of these songs is grappling with in some form and what we’ve collectively gone through as a band. It’s about choosing hope again and again, no matter how many times it may feel that you have lost it.” As for the title song, Gervais says it is “an invitation to wake up in the present moment recognizing that it is all we have, in all its contradictions of beauty and pain, joy and despair, unfathomable vastness and impermanence.” At early sessions for Aperture, the group instantly tapped into a renewed enthusiasm, with a tide of ideas rippling out in a matter of days. There was a rawness and unfettered energy to these songs. A band that had built a massive audience with meticulous arrangements and studio perfection suddenly found a vim that bordered on punk. Pianist Kenny Hensley sang and contributed lyrics for the first time, and drummer Tyler Williams even sang lead for the first time, boosting an explosive tune from vocalist/guitarist Jonathan Russell called “Cop Car.” Russell previously said the decision for the band to return to self-producing was “a 180 in terms of where we were headed. We really wanted to make our next music our own way, and it was a lot of fun to have all of us in a room together again. When we’d have downtime over the past two years, we’d all fly into either Seattle or Richmond and work in a specific studio in each place. We worked with engineers from our past. All these things went into being able to reimagine how we wanted to approach making music.” Aperture is the follow-up to 2022’s Every Shade of Blue, which spawned hits from its title song and “Virginia (Wind in the Night).” Fans can presave/preorder the new album Aperture and explore exclusive products, including signed copies HERE.

Mannequin Pussy

Mannequin Pussy at Fremont

Mannequin Pussy's music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins "Bear" Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and Marisa Dabice (guitar, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. "There's just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act ," says Dabice. "The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together." Their latest I Got Heaven, which is out March 1 via Epitaph Records, is the band's most fully realized LP yet. Over 10 ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It's a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive. Following the 2019 release of their critically acclaimed third album Patience, Mannequin Pussy returned in 2021 for their EP Perfect. They toured that release relentlessly and added guitarist Maxine Steen to the band's official lineup. Where the band members' personal lives were in transition with breakups, changing living situations, and periods of self-reevaluation, their time together on the road was a grounding and clarifying force. "There was so much going on in our lives that it was the perfect opportunity to recalibrate who we were as people and musicians," says Regisford. The band changed their entire formula, choosing to write together in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton over slowly crafting tracks at home. "When I've written songs, it's usually a very solitary process," says Dabice. "So this was shedding a lot of those hermit-like qualities to do something intensively collaborative. Your best work comes when you allow other people into it." By December 2022, the band had 17 new songs written with Congleton in Los Angeles. "Everyone felt empowered to speak up about their own ideas to make this thing the best it could possibly be," says Regisford. New member Maxine Steen, who has made music with Dabice for years including their side project Rosie Thorne, was especially essential to the writing sessions. The album opener "I Got Heaven" initially started as one of Steen's demos. "When she showed it to me I knew it was going to be fun because the verses have this hard-hitting and aggressive approach but the chorus allows for a really soaring melody," says Dabice. The result is electric. Over walloping guitar riffs, Dabice defiantly yells, "And what if I'm an angel? Oh what if I'm a bore? And what if I was confident would you just hate me more? The song with its righteous lyrical blending of the sacred and profane is an unapologetic look at Christian hypocrisy. "I don't think there's ever been anything in need of a spiritual revolution more than modern-day Christianity," says Dabice. "It sickens me the way that people use it as a way to do the worst things imaginable, say the worst things imaginable, and pass the worst imaginable legislation that directly harms people." Instead of judgment, greed, and avarice, the songs on I Got Heaven ask what it really means to genuinely care about the people around you and help your communities in ways you can. "The world that we live in is heaven," says Dabice. "We live on the most beautiful planet in the solar system, just by a chance and we are continuingly destroying it." This sentiment is mirrored by the album's cover art: a figure and a pig in nature. There's an intentional ambiguity there that makes you wonder if this person is leading the animal to slaughter or its protector. "We should really be the shepherds and the protectors of everything that we have and the world we live in," says Dabice. I Got Heaven is an album that understands the stakes of its message: there are countless references to fire, hunger, and holiness. Here, teeth gnash and bodies are temples that ache with desire. On the yearning single "Nothing Like," which is anchored by a dancey, shuffling drum beat from Reading, Dabice's voice eventually morphs from a coo to a roar as she sings, "Oh what's wrong with dreaming of burning this all down?" Even when the songs on I Got Heaven don't deal with fundamental human questions about how to live, Mannequin Pussy still finds ways to add urgency and resonance. Just take the buoyant and playful single "I Don't Know You," which slowly builds to a hair-raising peak with Reading's brushed percussion, Steen's enveloping synths, and a thoughtful groove from Regisford. "On that song, I changed the tuning last minute which transformed the song but everyone instinctively knew what to do," says Dabice. "It was really cool to watch a song come alive in real-time. It's such a gift to meet other people who are creatively on the same wavelength as you, where there's no judgment in sharing ideas." The lightness of this track pairs perfectly with the rest of the tracklist, even when it's snarling rock like "Loud Bark" or punishing hardcore punk with Regisford sharing lead vocal duties on "OK? OK! OK? OK!" "If you're a Mannequin Pussy fan, you know that we're going to have some rippers," says Regisford. "We're gonna have something that's going to be in your face. But we're also going to give you something that's going to be light to the touch with its own version of aggression." The loud and uncompromising single "Of Her," finds Dabice screaming, "I was born / Of her fire / Of sacrifices That were made / So I could make it." It's a song about living life without regrets and understanding the sacrifices that you and your parents, especially your mother, made to allow you to live the life you want. I Got Heaven is a visceral and stunning album for people who aren't content with the status quo, made by people who challenged themselves and got out of their comfort zone. "We're supposed to be living in the freest era ever so what it means to be a young person in this society is the freedom to challenge these systems that have been put on to us," says Dabice. "It makes sense to ask, what ultimately am I living for? What is it that makes me want to live?"

Hinder

Hinder at Fremont

Hinder's story begins in 2001, when Cody Hanson (drums), Joe "Blower" Garvey (lead guitar), and Mike Rodden (bass) met and activated their musical chemistry.

Hinder emerges from the storm more focused and resilient than ever. With a renewed sense of purpose and drive, and still never afraid to take risks, Hinder is poised to continue forging its legacy as one of rock's most enduring and dynamic bands.

BROOKS NIELSEN (of The Growlers)

BROOKS NIELSEN (of The Growlers) at Fremont

Brooks Nielsen, celebrated frontman of The Growlers and now a critically acclaimed solo artist, has firmly established himself as one of the most distinctive voices in independent music. As the frontman and creative force behind The Growlers, Nielsen helped define and popularize the Beach Goth movement—a genre-blurring, countercultural wave that left an indelible mark on modern rock. Over more than a decade, The Growlers built a fiercely dedicated international following, performed at major festivals, and sold out venues around the world. Their celebrated discography and electrifying live shows cemented them as one of the most influential underground bands of the 21st century. In addition to their music, The Growlers also founded and curated the Beach Goth Festival, a groundbreaking event that brought together a wildly eclectic mix of artists—from Patti Smith and Bon Iver to Doja Cat and Mac DeMarco—making it a defining moment in the cultural landscape of the 2010s. Now, as a solo artist, Nielsen continues to push boundaries with the same fearless spirit. Since launching his solo career in 2022, he's released four records—three of them in 2024 alone. His latest, A Ride I'm Waiting For, features the haunting duet "Without Eyes" with Sierra Ferrell and has been praised for its cinematic scope and emotional depth. On stage, Nielsen delivers an experience unlike anything else. Backed by a powerhouse band—Growlers drummer Richard Gowen, keyboardist Cole Riddle, and guitarists J.D. Carrera and Elyadeen Anbar—Brooks crafts a set each night that's entirely its own. Drawing from his extensive solo catalog, deep cuts, Growlers classics, and unreleased material, his shows are long, loose, and alive. With no opening acts and performances stretching two and sometimes three hours, fans are invited into a world that feels as spontaneous as it does deeply curated. This Fall 2025 run is Brooks's most ambitious solo tour to date, featuring first-ever solo plays in small towns, Aspen and Fort Collins, CO; Carrboro and Asheville, NC; Madison, WI; Ferndale, MI; New Haven, CT; St. Louis, MO; Boise, ID; Tulsa, OK; and Nashville, TN. There's also a rare and intimate upstate New York show at the newly revived Bearsville Theatre in Woodstock—a venue rich with music history. In New York City, Nielsen will headline the legendary Webster Hall for the first time, marking hisbiggest solo show in the city yet—and in Chicago, he'll play the iconic Metro, a rite of passage for generations of boundary-pushing artists. The 28-date tour wraps with the now-iconic Helloween shows at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on October 30 and 31—two surreal, sweat-soaked nights that have instantly become a rite of passage for Nielsen's most devoted fans. Every year, Beach Rats from across the country—and around the world—make the journey for this once-a-year celebration of the strange and the sacred. It's more than just a show: it's a Mecca for the hardcore fanbase, a chance to mix with fellow travelers, share stories from the past, and revel in a night of music, mystery, and magic. If you know, you go.

All previously purchased tickets will be honored on the new date. PASO ROBLES, Calif. – March 31, 2025 – Trailblazing regional Mexican band Eslabón Armado is confirmed to perform at Vina Robles Amphitheatre, Friday, June 20 Saturday, October 11. The sierreño act, has been on a meteoric rise since 2020, while simultaneously firing up the música mexicana movement. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster, Friday, April 4, at 10AM. The band, which was formed in 2017, blends elements of norteño, corrido, and banda music, and are known for their contemporary twist on traditional Mexican sounds, merging modern styles with traditional instrumentation, such as the use of the accordion, bajo sexto, and tuba. Their catchy beats and relatable lyrics, often dealing with themes of love, relationships, and life in the Mexican-American community, have earned them a dedicated younger audience fanbase. The group made history in 2022, when their album Nostalgia became the first top 10-charting regional Mexican album ever on Billboard 200. This was followed in 2023 when “Ella Baila Sola” a collaboration with Mexican powerhouse Peso Pluma, became the first regional Mexican song to reach the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and was crowned song of the summer. Recently frontman and songwriter Pedro Tovar signed a worldwide publishing deal with Kobalt to administer his future songs globally. Eslabón Armado consists of brothers Pedro Tovar Jr. (vocals) and Brian Tovar (bass), alongside Damian Pacheco (requinto guitar) and Ulises Gonzalez (acoustic guitar). Some of their biggest hits include songs like "Yo Ya Te Olvidé," "La Mejor de Todas," and "Con Tus Besos." The band is also known for collaborating with other artists in the regional Mexican genre such as Junior H, Grupo Frontera and Gabita Ballesteros.

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.

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.

"The California Honeydrops...evoke the greasy rumble of Booker T and channel the spiritual ecstasy of Sly and the Family Stone." -Rolling Stone Formed in the subway systems of Oakland, retro-soul outfit The California Honeydrops are an electrifying group that defy convention at every turn. They've become a mainstay at festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest (Australia), Outside Lands, Monterey Jazz, Lightning In A Bottle, and touring with B.B. King, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, and Allen Toussaint. Led by the enigmatic and energetic frontman, Lech Wierzynski, and percussionist Benjamin Malament, each member of the band is a virtuoso in their own rite — Yanos "Johnny Bones" Lustig on saxophone, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards/guitar, Beaumont Beaullieu on drums, Miles Blackwell on bass, and regularly accompanied by Oliver Tuttle on trombone, Leon Cotter on saxophone/clarinet, and Miles Lyons on trombone/sousaphone — navigating through a vast repertoire of original songs and timeless classics every night. But what truly sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to the art of improvisation - a skill so finely honed that they have completely abandoned the use of set lists and no two shows are ever the same. Off stage, their music has been streamed more than 200 million times, and placed in a variety of TV and films, including "Dead To Me," "Alaska Daily," "Black-ish" and more. They are currently touring North America in support of their new album, 'Keep On Diggin'.

The Frights

The Frights at Fremont

A couple of months after graduating from high school, Mikey Carnevale (vocals/guitar) and Richard Dotson (bass) got together as The Frights to play a one off 30 minute set as sort of a joke. The feeling they got from the crowd in their hometown of San Diego inspired them to become a "real" band almost in spite of themselves. Along the way, they recruited Marc Finn (drums) and released You Are Going To Hate This (produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR) in February 2016. Jordan Clark (guitar) added to the band's musical prowess in the ensuing year of touring around North America. The Frights signed to Epitaph in early 2018 and got to work on Hypochondriac. Like You Are Going To Hate This, the band's third full-length was produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR (who's also produced albums for SWMRS and Dune Rats). But for Hypochondriac, Carnevale took a more deliberate and exacting approach to his songwriting, resulting in The Frights' most nuanced work to date. After a sold out show at The Observatory North Park in their hometown of San Diego the same date as the release of the album, the band embarked on the Hypochondriac headline tour that is documented on their upcoming live album.   www.thefrights.com facebook.com/thefrights instagram.com/thefrights youtube.com/thefrights https://open.spotify.com/artist/2HSEdXKVq1WWtBbsIeNjRX?si=gvfUebE-S3STZ4dLzDsBjA https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-frights/788762537

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.
