About
Social Distortion has been doing it their way for over 40 years—fusing punk, rockabilly, blues, and outlaw country into a sound that's all their own. Led by frontman Mike Ness, the band has built a legacy on raw honesty, gritty storytelling, and relentless energy. From being invited onstage by Bruce Springsteen to charting at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 with Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, they've turned personal trials into timeless anthems.
Shaun LaBelle’s producing career has been filled with legendary groups. For example, David Pack (Ambrosia), Everette Harp, Jeff Kashiwa, and Steve Reid (Rippingtons.) Bobby Lyle, one of the most versatile keyboardists on the music scene, continues to evolve his artistry. He has been musical director for Al Jarreau, Bette Midler, the late Phyllis Hyman, and Anita Baker. He also toured with Wayne Henderson and the Jazz Crusaders, Gerald Albright, Ronnie Laws, and George Benson.
Mick Sterling presents a powerful and unforgettable tribute to one of Bruce Springsteen’s most beloved albums and tours.
Backed by a dynamic 13-piece band featuring strings, banjo, mandolin, accordion, a three-piece horn section and a rock-solid rhythm section, this performance brings to life Springsteen’s heartfelt homage to the legendary folk songs of Pete Seeger—alongside reimagined versions of his own iconic songs.
A tribute to prolific American singer-songwriter, Lionel Richie, who rose to fame in the '70s as a lead singer in the popular funk band, The Commodores. In the '80s he wrote some of the best-selling singles of all time. Don't miss it!
Featuring Pamela Helmer McNeill, Mary Jane Alm & Jeff Engholm
