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

SUMMARY:Top of The World - A Carpenters Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Top Of The World is The World’s Premiere Tribute to The Carpenters! \nFronted by singer Debbie Taylor\, her Karen Carpenter vocal resemblance is absolutely astonishing. She is backed by a seven piece band consisting of top-notch\, professional industry musicians who have had amazing careers in their own right. The band members are all multi-instrumentalists and at times use 3 keyboards to recreate the incredibly complex arrangements created by Richard Carpenter. The attention to detail paired with saxophone\, trumpet\, flute and many more instruments complete every song to perfection! \nThis show does not use tracks or pick up musicians like other shows. This is an 8 piece band that travels and performs all shows together. Additionally\, they have a multi-media slideshow which can be seen on their “Live Video” below. \nWho can forget the incomparable music of the Carpenters? The popular brother/sister duo of the 70’s and early 80’s gave us some of the most unforgettable ballads and melodic pop songs of all time. \nThis Carpenters Tribute Band brings the most authentic versions of the Carpenters music to the stage. No doubt\, you will be singing along as they perform hits like; “Close To You”\, “We’ve Only Just Begun”\, “Rainy Days And Mondays”\, “Please Mr. Postman” and “Yesterday Once More”\, to name a few. Debbie captures the warm tones and contralto range that made Karen’s voice so unique. Sit back and enjoy as Debbie and her band take you on a nostalgic journey through the Carpenters greatest hits while sharing some of the backstories behind the music.

SUMMARY:Ana Popovic with Danielle Miraglia
DESCRIPTION:“In the 25 years since the release of her debut record\, Hometown\, tail-gunning blues virtuoso Ana Popovic has proved herself a force of nature with a vintage Stratin hand.” – Guitar World \n“Ana Popovic Melds Rock\, Blues\, and Jazz for Fiery Power” – No Depression \n“A badass with a silver Strat\, she performs the heck out of this song [“Worked Up”]\, owning it with swagger and grace. … “Worked Up” captures her love of funky grooves plus the edginess of rocking guitar power. – Rock & Blues Muse \nLos Angeles-based and critically acclaimed guitarist and singer Ana Popovic is set to release her highly anticipated album Dance To The Rhythm (Electric Heel Records) on September 26\, 2025. Produced by Popovic and Buthel\, the album showcases a groundbreaking fusion of groove\, blues\, funk\, and soul. \nBuilding on the success of her previous work\, Dance To The Rhythm pushes boundaries\, seamlessly blending infectious dance grooves (“Dance To The Rhythm” / “Sho Nuff”) with raw blues guitar and powerful lyrics. From the soulful “Soul’ution” to the funky “Hottest Ticket In Town” and the bluesy “Dwell On The Feeling”\, “California Chase\,” the album weaves a rich tapestry of musical styles\, reflecting Popovic’s masterful versatility. The track “Sisters and Brothers” channels a Steely Dan-like arrangement\, while “Hurt So Good” brings a contemporary mainstream flair. The ultimate jam comes in the form of a clever reimagining of Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.” \nAna says: “One of my biggest strengths on stage is my ability to make people dance. Music should take you to a place where you can let go\, feel the groove\, and move. You want music to grab you\, to have a pocket that you can’t resist. —everything else revolves around it. Blues guitar has never really been part of dance music before\, and in that way\, it’s revolutionary. Guitar plays a central role in these tracks\, breaking down the boundaries created by time\, culture\, and musical traditions. With this album\, I’m pushing those boundaries.” For Ana\, blues guitar is the foundation of everything in her music. Yet\, she masterfully blends genres\, effortlessly shifting from blues to dance\, jam band\, funk\, pop\, and even gospel—it’s all part of her evolving sound.\nA true pioneer\, Ana combines her blues guitar roots with bold experimentation\, redefining the intersection of blues and dance music. Her live performances\, whether with her six-piece or eleven-piece funk band FUNTASTAFUNK\, are electrifying\, blending fierce guitar work with irresistible rhythms that compel audiences to move. \nA multi-award-winning artist\, Popovic has earned recognition from major outlets and industry figures\, including Bruce Springsteen\, who called her “one helluva guitar player.” She’s been nominated for seven Blues Music Awards\, and her latest album POWER hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart. Ana has shared stages with legends such as B.B. King\, Joe Bonamassa\, Warren\nHaynes\, Robert Plant\, and Gary Clark Jr.\, and is an endorsee of Fender\, D’Angelico\, Jim Dunlop\, and DR Strings. \nPopovic’s commitment to her craft and fearless boundary-pushing ensures she remains one of the most dynamic forces in contemporary blues and beyond. \nDanielle Miraglia\nDanielle Miraglia (murr-Ä L e a) comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson\,an infectious stomp-box rhythm\, harmonica and tunes ranging from heart-felt to socially conscious that will move both your heart and hips.

SUMMARY:Flamenkora
DESCRIPTION:By sensitively and skillfully interweaving improvised trumpet and flamenco guitar with traditional mandinka kora and vocals from Senegal\, FlamenKora creates timeless and enchanting multicultural music; a welcome balm in these troubled times. Volker Goetze’s evocative trumpet lines dance gracefully with the soulful vocals and kora of his newest duo partner\, the esteemed master of traditional Mande music – Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko. Up-and-coming Rio de Janeiro and Madrid based flamenco guitar maestro Roberto Monteiro is the newest band member\, adding authentic Spanish flair with driving rhythms and subtle\, imaginative colors. As the group’s founder and producer\, Goetze brings a special wisdom to FlamenKora\, acquired not only through decades of devotion to West African Mande music\, but also through a deep mastery of jazz composition and arrangement and a recent deep dive into the melodic and rhythmic traditions of flamenco. In 2025 FlamenKora spent June in residence at the Manship Artists Residency\, developing new compositions and deepening the project’s fusion of flamenco\, kora traditions\, and jazz. \nAli Boulo Santo Cissoko kora\, vocals A virtuoso kora player\, singer and modern griot\, Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko carries forward the legacy of grandfather\, the legendary “King of the Kora\,” Soundioulou Cissokho. Renowned for his inventive style\, Cissoko seamlessly blends Mandingo traditions with Senegalese and Western influences\, creating thrilling music that is both timeless and innovative. He has collaborated with global luminaries such as Youssou N’Dour\, Angelique Kidjo\, Omar Sosa\, Tony Allen\, and Piers Faccini\, expanding the reach of the kora – enchanting sound. As a cultural ambassador\, Cissoko’s music preserves the rich oral traditions of the Mandingo people while pushing the boundaries of contemporary world music. “Ali Boulo Santo’s style of playing the kora is outstanding because of his perfect mastering of this ancient instrument as well as his willingness to innovate.” – Frank Bessman\, Musique Afrique \nVolker Goetze trumpet & flugelhorn An award-winning trumpeter\, composer\, and filmmaker\, Volker Goetze is celebrated for his ability to fuse jazz with global musical traditions\, creating transcendent works that promote cultural connectivity. His collaborations with Senegalese kora master Ablaye Cissoko—including the acclaimed album Sira and the documentary Griot—have been hailed as masterclasses in cross-cultural dialogue. Their album Amanke Dionti was named “Best World Music Album of 2012” by NPR’s The World and has garnered over 35 million streams worldwide. Goetze’s latest project\, Little Big Top (Motema\, 2024)\, is a collaborative journey with legendary accordionist\, Guy Klucevsek\, through musical landscapes where echoes of the ballroom\, barroom\, bordello\, circus\, and concert hall intermingle with jazz and folk from around the world. His prior release FlamenKora (2023)\, bridges West African kora\, Spanish flamenco\, and American jazz\, earning international acclaim and sold-out performances in Europe. A multimedia artist\, Goetze’s film “The Griot” and innovative his innovative Sonic Gates project in Staten Island\, New York —the city’s first Sound Sculpture Walk—are examples of his commitment to integrating music\, art\, and community.

Volker Goetze has been traveling the world in search of that ecumenical sound ideal that enables him to play on all fronts and in all tones… to go even further and find a form of expression rooted in the soil of a people to make the colors even more vivid and shimmering. – RFI (Radio France International) \nROBERTO MONTEIRO flamenco guitar This rising guitarist born in 1987 in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, began his studies in classical guitar at the age of 16 at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, where he also studied flamenco guitar with Mara Lúcia Ribeiro (one of the first flamenco guitarists in Brazil\, a disciple of Entri de Cañorroto). From then on\, he dedicated himself entirely to flamenco accompanying famous dancers such as Carmen La Talegona\, Domingo and Inmaculada Ortega soon settling in Madrid\, formalizing his studies in flamenco guitar at the Arturo Soria Conservatory. He is currently working in tablaos in Madrid\, being the artistic director of Sala Temple; he accompanies renowned singers of the Spanish pop scene such as Lola Indigo\, María Pelae and Vicente Navarro and the dance company Matices. His participation in FlamenKora is a gift to all who have the chance to experience his moving and dedicated artistry. International Press Quotes: “This is beautiful\, reflective\, soulful music resulting from the confluence of their traditions… a delicate and exquisite work.” –London Jazz News (UK) “Magique ” –Jazz News. (FR) “Wonderously Playful” –NDR (DE) “An on-stage exchange imbued with grace and gentleness… The Senegalese singer’s songs complete this journey to the furthest reaches of serenity.” – Télérama (FR) “Flamenkora exudes a remarkable sense of cultural diversity… showcasing an uncanny ability to listen and respond to one another\, resulting in an exquisite musical beauty.” –JAZZIZ (US)
