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

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.

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.

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.

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.

BP: That Mexican OT is making sure Texas has a seat secured at the rap table. The Bay City, Texas rapper has burst onto the scene with his unique mix of exuberant, confidence-filled bars and the truck-rattling sensibilities of prime southern rap, mixed with the experimentation of DJ Screw's signature sludgy chopped-n-screwed sound. He flaunts a sound that plays just as well globally as it does at the parking lot kickback. The Tejano rapper rose to fame off his legendary linkup with Houston royalty Paul Wall on "Johnny Dang" (300 Million+ Streams), which Pitchfork honored as one of the best 100 songs of 2023. He parlayed that success into his breakout mixtape Lonestar Luchador, which was heralded by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, HipHopDX, The Houston Chronicle, Passion Of The Weiss, and more. Notching tens of Millions of streams on hits such as "Hardest Ese Ever," "Cowboy Killer," and "Hit List" solidified him as one of the most exciting southern rappers on the come up. With his latest album, Texas Technician, That Mexican OT delivers on the fun and raucous sound that made him, while also showing off a meticulous desire to expand his range. Long Form: Born in Bay City, Texas, Virgil René Gazca learned quickly that he would have to make something of himself to get through his difficult upbringing. Gazca was always drawn to music, listening to a mix of the in-your-face classic rock of AC/DC, the pulsating nu-metal of Slipknot, and the vivacious southern parking lot pimping music of Slim Thug, Lil Keke, Sauce Walka, and the rappers who ushered in the mid-00s Southern rap takeover. He always gravitated towards music, but after losing his mother early in life, and dealing with his dad being in and out of jail, Gazca faced a crossroads in seventh grade as he pondered how to change his circumstances. "Being a rapper is damn near impossible," Gazca says. "With the luck that I got, I know I'm not making. What am I going to do in life? I couldn't see myself doing anything else, so it just had to happen." With that realization, Gazca got to work, spending as much time in his uncle's makeshift studio as possible and entering into rap battles around the city. But issues with self-esteem pushed him off the path in a bad way. Scared of repeating the mistakes of his other family members, Gazca re-dedicated himself to his craft around junior year of high school, continuing to hone his rapping with his uncle and his cousins. After locking in and releasing his first project, Southern Texas Project, in 2020, Gazca got the attention of Greg Gates, who offered to manage him. Gates changed Gazca's life, pushing him to learn to make songs, rather than focus purely on rapping. "La Muerte'' was the lightbulb moment for Gazca, a rapid tempo, Mexican guitar-influenced banger that acted as a template to the charismatic trunk rattlers Gazca would go on to make. From there, Gazca stayed in the studio, dropping projects and songs at a furious pace such as 2021's 1 Double O and 2022's Nonsense and Mexican Shit. But 2023 would be the year everything fell into place, starting with his breakout track "Johnny Dang," which saw the Tejano rapper link up with Texas staple Drodi and the "Sittin Sidewayz'' legend Paul Wall for a melding of Texas' storied past and bright future. The track served as a perfect primer to his album, Lonestar Luchador, which meshed his love of wrestling, comedy and hard-hitting bars into a raucous album that showcases his limitless ambition and knack for worldbuilding. In 2024, he continued that momentum, being named to the newest XXL Freshman class and finding success with his follow up project, Texas Technician. The new project forgoes the conceptual approach of Lonestar Luchador in favor of paying homage to the state and sound that made him. Linking with fellow Texas titans such as Z-Ro, Paul Wall, Slim Thug and Le$, while also finding contemporaries to match his energy such as DaBaby, Fredo Bang and MoneyBagg Yo, Texas Technician is a coming-of-age story best heard on the biggest subwoofers in the parking lot. "I like when people hand out CDs in the back of the slab," Gazca says. "You see that trunk and it's glowing with the lights and the speakers, and bumping their music. That's the feeling I wanted to bring to this tape, it just falls back to me loving the hustle and the grind of being a Texas Technician." Tracks such as the eerie, Screw-influenced flex fest with MoneyBagg Yo "Twisting Fingers," show off That Mexican OT's natural ability to bring his features into his world, sounding like a late night, dirt road rager in Texas. While more introspective tracks such as the heartfelt "Muchos Gracias" reveals his somber side, remembering everyone who helped him get to this point. Texas Technician shows all sides of Virgil Rene Gazca, the man inside, and the outlaw, slick-tongued persona of That Mexican OT. With his Texas Technician tour in full swing, new singles like the Denzel Curry vivacious team up "Black Flag Freestyle," and a new project he says has some of his most eclectic music to date, That Mexican OT has all the support and momentum to ascend to Southern rap royalty, and position himself as a new leader for Texas rap, and beyond.

"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'.

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

#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.

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.
