SUMMARY:The Wailers
DESCRIPTION:In 2026\, The Wailers celebrate 50 years of Rastaman Vibration\, marking a defining moment in reggae history and honoring one of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ most influential albums. \nThis special tour\, 50 Years of Positive Vibrations\, highlights select cuts from Rastaman Vibration alongside the timeless classics that continue to unite audiences across generations. \nReleased in 1976\, Rastaman Vibration was a pivotal album that carried reggae’s message of resistance\, spirituality\, and hope onto the global stage. Songs like “Positive Vibration\,” “Roots\, Rock\, Reggae\,” and “War” remain as relevant today as ever — powerful expressions of music as both a cultural force and a call for unity. \nUnder the leadership of Aston Barrett Jr.\, son of legendary bassist Aston “Familyman” Barrett\, The Wailers continue to honor their roots while carrying the music forward with purpose and authenticity. Joined by Mitchell Brunings\, whose soulful vocals and commanding stage presence have captivated audiences worldwide\, the band delivers performances that embody the enduring spirit of reggae — uplifting\, conscious\, and deeply human. \nIn a unique crossover into film\, Aston Barrett Jr. portrayed his father in the 2024 biopic Bob Marley: One Love\, directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and starring Kingsley Ben-Adir. His portrayal added rare authenticity\, grounded in lived experience and a deep personal connection to the legacy. \nAlongside honoring the past\, The Wailers remain firmly rooted in the present. Their recent albums One World and Evolution — both Grammy-nominated — reaffirm the band’s creative vitality. Evolution\, produced by Grammy Award-winner Emilio Estefan Jr. on Crescent Moon Records\, blends classic roots reggae with contemporary global influences\, with songs like “Love Should Be Free” resonating worldwide for their positive and socially conscious message. \nAudiences can expect a soul-stirring setlist that weaves together the revolutionary spirit of Rastaman Vibration\, the band’s classic anthems\, and select modern highlights — all delivered with the same authenticity\, musicianship\, and heart that made The Wailers a cornerstone of global music. \n50 Years of Positive Vibrations is more than a tour — it’s a celebration of music with meaning\, a living connection between reggae’s golden era and its continuing power to inspire unity\, resilience\, and hope.

SUMMARY:Third World
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:00pm\nShow 7:30pm\n21+\, Positive ID Required\nPremium Seating with cocktail service: $59.50 + $6.95 service fee\nStandard Seating with cocktail service: $54.50 + $6.95 service fee\nGA Standing: $30 + $6.95 service fee \n+ $5 Day of Show \nCelebrating 40 years\, ‘Reggae Ambassadors’\, THIRD WORLD is one of the longest-lived Reggae bands of all time\, and one of Jamaica’s most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. Mixing in elements of R&B\, funk\, pop\, and rock and\, later on\, dancehall and rap\, Third World’s style has been described as “reggae-fusion”. Singer Bunny Rugs described the band’s sound: “Strictly a reggae band\, no. Definitely a reggae band\, yes.” Guitarist Cat Coore said of their music: “The hybrid of various types of music is a natural thing because\, by growing up in Jamaica\, we know the direct roots of reggae and ska. At the same time we live in a country where you get to hear Chuck Berry\, Fats Domino and all the R & B artists.” Bassist Richard Daley said\, “We took roots reggae music and put branches on top of it”. \nThe genesis of Third World was originally formed in 1973 by guitarist/cellist Steven “Cat” Coore\, keyboardist Michael “Ibo” Cooper\, drummer Carl Barovier and singer Milton “Prilly” Hamilton all of Inner Circle\, along with bassist Colin “Oliver” Leslie. Tomorrows Children bass guitarist\, Richard Daley soon replaced Colin Leslie and Leslie teamed up with Darren Green to manage and organize the group. After a few months\, Barovier was replaced by Cornell Marshall\, and the group made its live debut that year at Jamaica’s independence celebration. They played in and around the Kingston club scene and on the hotel scene island wide\, making a name for themselves as one of the few fully self-contained bands around.\nWith 10 Grammy nominations and catalogue of charted hits spanning four decades\, Third World accolades include\, the 1986 United Nations Peace Medal\, 1992 and 1996 Jamaica Music Industry Awards for Best Show Band\, New York City Ambassador Award in November 2009 at Brooklyn Academy of Music (“BAM”)\, 2011 Excellence in Music at the Atlanta Caribbean Festival\, numerous awards and accolades from Martin’s International Reggae and World Music Awards\, in 2012 William Clark was awarded Ambassador at Caribbean American Heritage Awards in Washington DC\, “The Art of Reggae Music” award for 40 years of quality music and dedication at the 2013 staging of Jamaica Jazz and Blues in Montego Bay\, the Keys to the Cities of Atlanta and Key West\, National Black Arts Award of Merit 2013 and more.

SUMMARY:The Robert Cray Band - 2026 ALL AMPED UP Tour
DESCRIPTION:Blues icon. Soul man. Rock and roller. Robert Cray is all these things – and more. \nThe Georgia born\, Washington-raised musician first picked up a guitar after seeing The Beatles on TV then\, having witnessed Jimi Hendrix perform in Seattle\, determined that his destiny would also follow a similar path. And so he has: across the past half century Robert Cray’s developed into one of American music’s most singular artists. \n“I guess you’d have to say that we were lucky\,” reflects Cray on his life in music\, “because\, growing up in the 1960s\, the different music played on the radio really opened us up. I mean\, we even had Albert Collins play our high School graduation party.” \nFrom forming a teenage garage band\, through to striding the stage alongside several of the world’s greatest guitarists\, Robert Cray’s story is one of struggle and commitment. Struggle and commitment that led to Cray enjoying phenomenal success – selling millions of albums and countless concert tickets\, winning five Grammy Awards\, being inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame\, recipient of the Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award\, designing two signature model Fender guitars – yet for Robert what’s always mattered most is the music. Every note he plays counts\, every song he sings is delivered as if it is his last: integrity and intensity are what has guided Cray’s musical career. He has never cheapened his output or delivered a substandard performance. Indeed\, his commitment to making music of the highest standard has won Cray both a loyal audience and the respect of many of popular music’s most legendary figures. \nThink about it: Robert Cray has shared stage and/or studio with the likes of John Lee Hooker\, Muddy Waters\, B.B. King\, Buddy Guy\, Chuck Berry\, Albert Collins\, The Rolling Stones\, Eric Clapton\, Tina Turner\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, the Memphis Horns and Hi Rhythm Section. Cray’s stinging guitar playing and soulful voice\, his skills as a band leader and performer\, mark him as keeper of the flame for American roots music\, an artist who never fails to deliver. \n“We were so lucky just be able to see them\,” says Cray of trading guitar licks on stage with legends of blues\, rock and soul\, “let alone share the stage with them – what an experience!” \nCray’s rise to the top was\, like his music\, a slow burn\, he first building a following in small towns across the Pacific Northwest. Even before Cray had a record deal he enjoyed local hero status – so much so in 1978 he was cast (as a musician) in Animal House\, the blockbuster comedy that made John Belushi famous. 1978 was also the year Cray recorded his debut album\, Who’s Been Talkin’\, although Tomato Records’ internal problems held up Talkin’s release until 1980. And then\, just as Talkin’ was winning great reviews\, Tomato collapsed into bankruptcy. Got the blues? Young Robert certainly could have claimed he had them. But Cray isn’t given to complaining\, instead he persevered\, committed then\, as he is now\, to taking his music to the people. \nAfter Tomato\, Cray and his band – today consisting of Richard Cousins (bass guitar – there since high school days)\, Dover Weinberg (keyboards) and Les Falconer (drums) – used the momentum the album gave them to play further afield. By now Cray was buddies with a young guitarist from Texas: Stevie Ray Vaughan. \n“We played in 1979 at the San Francisco Blues Festival\,” recalls Cray\, “and I watched Stevie’s show and he’s just smoking. Afterwards Richard and I went up and chatted with him and we just hit it off. Stevie was great – if we were in Austin he’d always come and join us on stage.” \nSigning to Hightone\, Cray’s 1983 album Bad Influence established him internationally: he was invited to play Carnegie Hall\, toured Europe\, later finding Eric Clapton recording Bad Influence’s \ntitle track. 1985 saw Cray’s False Accusations album increase his standing as the foremost singer of blues noir songs\, while that year’s Showdown! – a sizzling collaboration with guitarists’ Albert Collins and Johnny Copeland – won Robert huge acclaim from blues musicians and fans: the new guy’s the real deal! Signing to Mercury Records\, Cray’s 1986 album Strong Persuader ensured he became the first blues/soul musician to breakthrough in the MTV era. \nStrong Persuader won Cray rave reviews from pop and rock critics\, topped charts worldwide\, saw Cray grace the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and winning the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Recording in 1988. Strong Persuader\, with its songs of infidelity\, guilt and unease\, while not in any sense conventional Top 40 music\, proved so strong an album it broke through barriers\, sold millions of copies and would prove extremely influential (2026 being the 40th anniversary.) Cray’s \nbreakthrough allowed both young and older blues and soul musicians to gain wide attention and radio play: John Lee Hooker’s career resurrection came soon after with The Healer\, and Robert plays on that seminal album. \n“It was great to be able to travel around the world\,” says Cray of Strong Persuader’s success. “It afforded us a lot of great opportunities that we were lucky to experience.” \nCray’s being modest here: suddenly he found himself the hottest guitarist working – Tina Turner invited Robert to support her huge European tour (every night\, after playing with his band\, Cray would join Tina on stage to play A Change Is Gonna Come)\, then Keith Richards called\, requesting Cray join the band backing Chuck Berry for Taylor Hackford’s celebratory feature length documentary Hail Hail Rock ‘N’ Roll. Here Cray not only got to play with the mercurial Berry (+Linda Ronstadt and Etta James\, amongst many notable artists)\, he also formed a friendship with Steve Jordan\, then drummer for the project and Richards’ solo band. \nNow internationally famous\, Cray found himself in intense demand: he toured with The Stones and played with B.B King\, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton. Headlining in noted music festivals – these included Glastonbury in the UK and Crossroads Guitar Festival in the US – and kept developing his sound over a selection of strong albums across the 1990s. Cray’s songwriting has addressed ageing\, love\, loneliness\, domestic turmoil and US politics. \nAs an artist Robert Cray’s aged like fine wine – his voice has developed a greater range and expressiveness\, this he’s put to use on masterful interpretations of such Southern soul standards as I Forgot To Be Your Lover (William Bell)\, Your Good Thing Is About To End (Mable John) and Nobody’s Fault But Mine (Otis Redding). At the same time\, Cray’s guitar playing now possesses an additional depth\, a growl that can hint at a caress then signal emotional upheaval. \nHis recent run of albums – 2014’s In My Soul\, 2017’s Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm and 2020’s masterful That’s What I Heard (all produced by Steve Jordan: now the Stones’ drummer) – are amongst the very finest he’s made. Every song here is deeply felt\, whether an agonised song of loss\, an angry protest number\, or a dance tune that gets audiences pumping (My Baby Likes To Boogaloo is great funky fun). \nAcross five decades Robert Cray has created a richly inclusive American music\, revitalising both blues and soul while rocking hard with the very best. To achieve 50 years in the music industry and still be as fresh and committed as when starting out is an achievement few can boast of but Cray can: he has released 19 studio albums\, every one replete with his extremely distinctive songs\, won five Grammy Awards and continues to make music that sounds like no one but Robert Cray. “All these years we have been fortunate to do what we love doing\, playing the music we love playing\,” says Cray with a smile. “I couldn’t ask for anything more. \nVIP Merchandise Package Includes:\n-Premium Concert Ticket \n-Exclusive T-shirt -Autographed 8×10 Photo \n-Exclusive VIP Merch Item
