Troubadour
2026-06-26 - 2026-06-27
8pm-12:30am
Armed with a mix of polished, modern country and a high energy live show, Troubadour became one of the Midwest’s top drawing club and festival acts. Although new in name, the members of the group are no strangers to the dancehalls, honky-tonks and beer joints that line the highways across the United States. Having worked together musically since 2005, founding members Romyn Hanks (guitar/vocals) and Rick Schroeder (steel guitar/vocals) enlisted the help of two close friends and former band mates, Rick Runde (bass guitar/vocals) and Kory Werlinger (drums/vocals) to form Troubadour. In July of 2011 after Kory’s retirement from the group, the powerhouse drumming and percussion skills of Jesse Schmidt (drums/percussion/vocals) were added to ring in a new, and exciting era for the band.
With an extensive touring schedule since 2010, Troubadour has since played America’s Premiere Country Music Festival; “We Fest”, and have shared the stage with many national acts throughout the region.

Starship
2026-06-26 20:00 - 21:30
Mickey Thomas is the owner of the soaring voice that propelled STARSHIP through the decade of the 80’s. With his soulful and compelling vocals, Mickey has established himself as one of Rock Music’s most recognizable stars.
Mickey made his mark in 1976 as lead vocalist on the mega-hit “Fooled Around And Fell In Love” with The Elvin Bishop Band. In 1979, Mickey joined Jefferson Starship as the lead vocalist, after the departure of Grace Slick and Marty Balin, and recorded a string of hits including “Jane”, “No Way Out”, “Find Your Way Back”, “Stranger”, and “Layin’ It on the Line”.
The group was renamed STARSHIP in 1985 and went on to record three #1 hit songs including “We Built This City”, “Sara”, and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”, from the film, Mannequin, which also was an Academy Award nominee. Their hit “It’s Not Over ‘Til It’s Over” became Major League Baseball’s theme in 1987. Mickey’s stellar voice and video charisma on STARSHIP’s video classics such as “We Built This City” and “Sara” became staples on MTV and VH1.
One can expect to hear hits from STARSHIP and Jefferson Starship at STARSHIP’s live performances, as well as a few selections from Jefferson Airplane as a nod to both band’s beginnings

Jackson Dean
2026-07-10 20:00 - 21:30
With his strong gravel-toned vocals, wayward spirit, intentional songwriting and overall mystique, the fast-rising singer/songwriter Jackson Dean has earned a reputation for his impressive live show and thought-provoking, lyric-driven music. The young talent burst on the scene in 2022 with his atmospheric, musically-forward debut album Greenbroke that featured his PLATINUM debut single, “Don’t Come Lookin’,” which cemented Jackson as the youngest solo male Country artist to reach the top of the charts with a debut, and his GOLD certified follow up single “Fearless (The Echo).” His live show stand out and No. 1 single “Heavens To Betsy” marked the lead track from his “..near-perfect follow-up” (American Songwriter) sophomore album On The Back Of My Dreams, released in 2024 via Big Machine Records. The textured, experiential body of work is built on transcendental, swelling songs and Dean’s bone-shaking vocal performance, delivered with striking swagger. The demand for Jackson skyrocketed after landing a coveted spot on artist to watch lists by Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and CMT, as well as an ACM New Male Artist of the Year nomination in 2023. A vocalist who thrives on stage (as evident in his Live At The Ryman album), the Maryland native has leaned hard into touring, building a passionate fanbase that connects on a deeper level – both on his headlining runs and as support for superstars including Toby Keith, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Brantley Gilbert, Kane Brown, Brooks & Dunn, Lee Brice, HARDY and Brothers Osborne. Ever evolving and expanding into new territory both sonically and lyrically, Dean released new tracks “Be Your Man” and “Make A Liar” in 2025, and his track “Turn On The Lights” was used for T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights 2025 competition. He just wrapped a highly successful run of his headlining On The Back Of My Dreams World Tour in Australia and New Zealand and closed out 2025 opening on select dates of Brad Paisley’s Truck Still Works Tour.

Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters
2026-08-07 20:00 - 21:30
The Boxmasters release 21st Album “In The Bay” and announce “2026 Morro Rock Tour”
In conjunction with the release of their newest album on June 12th, The Boxmasters will
follow by kicking off a tour of the United States in June. This marks their 21st release as the
ever-prolific J.D. Andrew and Bud Thornton showcase their love as always for the sounds of the
sixties and the inspiration of their heroes on an album of called ‘In The Bay.’
Formed in 2006, The Boxmasters have recorded an impressive and diverse catalogue of
music that touches on their love of a wide array of influences, but most importantly, the rock and
roll of the 1960’s. Listening to The Boxmasters, one can hear obvious odes to the Beatles, Byrds
and Beach Boys, but also important to The Boxmasters are The Mothers of Invention, The
Allman Brothers, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine and Big Star.
As a touring band, The Boxmasters have cultivated a rabid cult fanbase across the United
States, Canada and now Europe and the United Kingdom. In 2025, The Boxmasters opened for
one of the top 3 bands in history, The Who, on their “The Song Ends Tour” in Sunrise, FL and
Newark, NJ. In Sunrise, manager Bill Curbishly told Bud that only 3 bands had received a
standing ovation as the opening act in The Who history. The Boxmasters were the third.
On April 25, 2026 The Boxmasters will make their Stagecoach Festival debut playing
along with a huge lineup of Rock and Country artists.
Opening for the likes of The Who, ZZ Top, Steve Miller, & George Thorogood, The
Boxmasters have proven to win over large audiences. As a headliner, frequent stops in Kansas
City at “Knuckleheads”, Los Angeles at “The Troubadour” and in Sellersville, PA at the
“Sellersville Theater” have shown dedicated yet still growing audiences. Two appearances at
Levon Helm’s “Midnight Ramble” in Woodstock, New York were highlight performances for the
band, as well as the “Ramble at The Ryman” that Levon hosted in 2008. Other highlights
include The Boxmasters performing on “The Grand Ole Opry” in 2015, and in 2023 The
Boxmasters fulfilled a life-long dream of playing The Cavern Club in Liverpool.

The Beach Boys
2026-08-21 20:00 - 21:30
You can capsulize most pop music acts by reciting how many hits they’ve had and how many millions of albums they’ve sold. But these conventional measurements fall short when you’re assessing the impact of The Beach Boys. This band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. But its greater significance lies in the fact that The Beach Boys’ songs have forever changed the musical landscape, profoundly influencing countless performing artists to follow.
The band is led by Mike Love, who, along with musical director Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago, John Wedemeyer and Chris Cron continue the legacy of the iconic band. Grammy-winning songwriter Bruce Johnston joined The Beach Boys in 1965, replacing Glenn Campbell, who filled in for Brian Wilson, on vocals/bass, when he retired from touring. Highly regarded in his field, Johnston’s vocal work with such legendary artists as Elton John and Pink Floyd firmly established him among rock’s elite artists.
The current lineup continues to honor and expand upon the band’s iconic live performance legacy. This dedication is evident in their rigorous touring schedule, which brings them to a wide range of venues worldwide every year—from sun-drenched amphitheaters to intimate performing arts centers and major global events. On one day alone—July 4, 1985—they played to nearly two million fans in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. They’ve also taken the stage at Live Aid, the Super Bowl, the White House, multiple Farm Aids, and the Statue of Liberty’s 100th Anniversary Salute.
In 2012, The Beach Boys marked their 50th anniversary with a reunion tour featuring the surviving original members and the release of That’s Why God Made the Radio, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts—their highest chart position in 37 years and an unprecedented milestone. This resurgence highlighted the band’s continued relevance and their ability to resonate with both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
That momentum continued in the years that followed. Their discography includes enduring milestones like the triple platinum-certified Sounds of Summer and its companion The Warmth of the Sun, which helped spark renewed interest in the 2000s and beyond. Despite having numerous opportunities to retire at the height of their success—after the release of the groundbreaking Pet Sounds in 1966, the chart-topping concept album Endless Summer in 1974, the Golden Globe-nominated and chart-topping “Kokomo” in 1988, or their 1988 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame—The Beach Boys have continued to tour and share their music with the world.
In 2016, they celebrated the 50th anniversary of “Good Vibrations”—widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of rock and roll—with the 50 Years of Good Vibrations tour. That same year, Mike Love released his memoir GOOD VIBRATIONS: My Life as a Beach Boy, which became a New York Times Best Seller.
Over the past decade, the group has remained in the spotlight, honored in 2023 with the CBS tribute special A Grammy Salute to the Beach Boys, which featured performances from Beck, Brandi Carlile, Michael McDonald, Pentatonix, St. Vincent, Weezer, Norah Jones, John Legend, and Mumford & Sons. In 2024, The Beach Boys documentary premiered on Disney+, celebrating the band’s revolutionary sound and iconic California aesthetic. Directed by Frank Marshall and Thom Zimny and written by Mark Monroe, the film features never-before-seen footage and interviews with band members and music luminaries including Brian Wilson, Mike Love, and Lindsey Buckingham, offering a definitive look at the group’s legacy.
Mike Love’s role as the band’s frontman sometimes overshadows his stature as one of rock’s most prolific and influential songwriters. Mike co-wrote an extraordinary catalog of timeless hits including “Surfin’,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “Help Me, Rhonda,” “California Girls,” “Warmth of the Sun,” and the Grammy-nominated “Good Vibrations.” Years later, Love co-wrote “Kokomo,” which became the band’s best-selling single ever.
Continuing to bring new, creative projects to fans, Love has released several solo albums in recent years including Unleash the Love, Reason for the Season, and 12 Sides of Summer. In 2025, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, honoring a career defined by culture-shaping lyrics and enduring melodies.
The Beach Boys found in their music the key to unfading youth—and they made copies for everyone. To them, the beach isn’t just a place where the surf comes to play—it’s where life is renewed and made whole again.

Terry Fator ~ Pure Imagination
2026-08-28 20:00 - 21:30
Legendary Las Vegas headliner Terry Fator has created a new road show to kickoff his 2025-2026 tour. Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice is a 90 minute spectacular, featuring the incredible impressions, comedy and ventriloquism that has made Terry and his characters a must see show for fans across the nation.
“Pure Imagination is a totally different concept than my road shows in the past,” Fator said. “I found that throughout my life my imagination had spawned countless characters, song parodies and comedy skits and I compiled them all together to give my audience a fun look into my creative psyche.”
The show features the classic characters Terry has made famous over the years: Winston the Impersonating Turtle; Country Star Walter T. Airdale; Apollo Theater legend Julius; perpetual slacker and stoner Duggie; Vikki the Cougar and the world’s greatest Elvis impersonator, Maynard Tompkins.
“One idea I had is to add in characters and impressions based on real-life stars people around the world know and love,” Fator said. “So you can look forward to seeing and hearing Willie Nelson, Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, plus a few surprise ‘guests’”.
Simply put, Pure Imagination is Pure Entertainment for audiences across the country

Slaughter
2026-09-11 20:00 - 21:30
Over Three decades of Rock and Roll 1990 – 2020
1990 SLAUGHTER hit radio, MTV and the U.S. touring circuit like a tornado- coming seemingly out of nowhere to roll through
everything in its path and turn it upside down. Touring the world with bands that they loved, Kiss, Ozzy, and others meant the
good times were just a song away, and their first hit single, “Up All Night” certainly fit into that mold, their second chart-topper,
“Fly To The Angels” was more representative of the spirituality and awareness that goes into most of the band’s music and
lyrics. But never were SLAUGHTER more accurately represented that live onstage in front of their legions of devoted fans over
the last ten years. The above two hits are the start of their top then follwed by :

Spend My Life
Mad About You
The Wild Life
Eye to Eye
Real Love
Loaded Gun
Burnin’ Bridges
Desperately

For the past decade SLAUGHTER has continued to tour, performing 40 – 50 shows per year at casinos, fairs, festivals
and biker rallies all across the US to record breaking audiences. SLAUGHTERs have furthermore enjoyed successful
festival shows in Sweden, Japan, Mexico & Germany.
SLAUGHTER has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent, a band can survive and win over the support of fans,
regardless of what others may say about the quality of their music. What’s most important is that their music is still
here and the vast majority of critics who panned them in the past are not, and that’s as good as gold.

Jo Dee Messina
2026-09-25 20:00 - 21:30
Most albums reflect a season. Jo Dee Messina’s new album, Bridges, is 10 years worth of seasons rolled up into one. The love, the life, the pain, the fight, the learning — and the living through it all.
“It’s not about a full transformation,” Messina says. “It’s about what I’ve gone through and how I’ve gotten through it all. But I’m not done living yet. There’s still a lot more to learn.”
And that’s where we find Messina now — at the start of a new chapter. At a turning point, but firmly moving forward. And what a path it’s been so far. The road behind her is littered with accolades: nine number-one hits, 16 Top 40 songs, and awards and nominations from the ACM, CMA, AMA, Billboard, and the Grammys. A true icon, Messina has become a North Star in the music world, carving a path for artists and inspiring the younger generation. See Lainey Wilson’s recent CMA shoutout, Cole Swindell’s ode to “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” plus Sierra Ferrell and Nikki Lane’s cover of “Lesson in Leavin’.” She’s not just a country legend — her influence spreads across multiple generations and genres.
Over the past decade, though, Messina — like all of us — has encountered road bumps both minor and heartbreaking: loss, struggle, and sicknesses that might have wrecked someone without glimmers of light to hold onto. Her music. Her children. Her faith. And all of it is woven throughout Bridges, coming June 5, 2026.
