Steve is also currently touring and selling out venues across the country.

Patti Austin

Patti Austin’s keen interest in being a total entertainer likely started when she was four years old. Then, she stepped onto the stage of the world-famous Apollo Theater in Harlem at the urging of Dinah Washington. During the 1970s Patti reigned as the undisputed queen of the New York session scene. Her 2002 recording Avant Gershwin won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Her recent recordings celebrate the great Ella Fitzgerald in Patti’s unique song storytelling style.

Jim Messina

An undisputed expert in the fine art of making hit music, Jim Messina’s legacy of musical genius spans five decades, three super-groups (Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and Loggins & Messina), a vibrant solo career and scores of producing and engineering credits.

Jack White No Name Tour

Born the youngest of ten children, raised in Southwest Detroit and a resident of Nashville since 2005, Jack White is one of the most prolific and renowned artists of the past 20+ years. When the White Stripes started in 1997, no one, least of all Jack, ever expected that a red-and-white two-piece band would take hold in the mainstream world. With the release of 2001’s White Blood Cells, the band was thrust on magazine covers and captivated audiences through worldwide touring.

Devo: 50 Years of De-Evolution… continued!

One of new wave's most innovative and successful bands, DEVO, was also perhaps one of its most misunderstood. Formed in Akron, OH, in 1973 by Kent State art students Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh, DEVO took its name from their concept of "de-evolution" - the idea that instead of evolving, mankind has actually regressed, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society.
