Whole Lotta Lubbock Tour feat. William Clark Green w/ Reid Haughton
William Clark Green
In the proudly independent Texas-country scene, it’s not easy to separate yourself – or to evolve once you have. But for almost 15 years, William Clark Green has done both with a nod to his home state itself, both rooted in the past and barreling toward the future.
Boasting sandpaper vocals and country-rock sound at the crossroads of back-alley grit and gravel-road grace, the Flint, Texas, native emerged like many others before – sauntering out from Lubbock’s live music loving college-bar scene. But he has since carved a space that is uniquely his own. Pairing singer-songwriter tradition with a progressive musical mindset, he’s both a troubadour of troubled souls and maestro to lyrical mischief, renowned for underdog anthems filled with sardonic wit, vivid characters and even historical curiosity.
Over five previous albums, multiple Number Ones on Texas Regional Radio have joined iTunes Country Album chart toppers, the respect of critics and peers and a vibrant touring profile anchored on Texas’ biggest stages. But even after so much success, two years of treading water left Green looking to get beyond his comfort zone.
“My whole mentality is that if my voice went out tomorrow, or I lost my arm and my career ended, I’ve got nothing but gratefulness,” Green explains, flashing his signature sense of dark humor.“But in some ways, we wanted to reach and see what else is out there. I think the band is ready, I think I’m ready, and it’s not really about money or anything. It’s about feeling that high again, feeling that new-ness.”
Reid Haughton
Raised in small-town Haleyville, AL, singer/songwriter Reid Haughton caught themusic bug after picking up a guitar one day during church lessons. Haughtoncontinued to hone his craft and develop his own musical style throughout highschool before moving to Auburn, AL in 2017 to attend school at Auburn University.In just a few short months, Haughton quickly became immersed in the collegecircuit, booking gigs and filling rooms in towns throughout the southeast.Haughton made the move to Nashville after graduation in 2021 and signed apublishing deal with River House Artists. Since then Haughton has been writing andrecording new music, all while opening up for artists such as Dwight Yoakam, JonPardi, Chase Rice, and more, across the country.Produced by Sadler Vaden, Haughton is set to bring his country and southern rocksound to life in early 2023.

LITTLE BIG TOWN ANNOUNCES TAKE ME HOME TOUR
KEYBANK CENTER – BUFFALO, NY
NOVEMBER 2, 2024
GENERAL ON SALE BEGINS ON FRIDAY, APRIL 12 AT 10 A.M.
AT LITTLEBIGTOWN.COM

Celebrating their 25th anniversary as one of country music’s most successful groups, multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning four-piece Little Big Town – comprised of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook – joined forces with longtime friends and collaborators Sugarland at last night’s CMT Music Awards to deliver a stunning world premiere performance of their new song “Take Me Home” – listen HERE and watch HERE. The two powerhouse groups are also set to embark on a U.S. tour titled Take Me Home Tour. See more details below.

Little Big Town and Sugarland’s rendition of “Take Me Home,” originally written and released by Phil Collins in 1985, gives the song a fresh new meaning but leaves us with a familiar longing. The performance served as a monumental homecoming for the two country music giants as they last shared the CMTMA stage in 2008 for a rousing rendition of “Life In A Northern Town.”

“Last night felt like a real homecoming for us and a full circle moment. When we toured with Sugarland last, we would all be backstage harmonizing different cover songs to try and surprise the audience every night. There’s something about this song that feels so nostalgic of that time. It really is like coming home,” says Little Big Town. “The Take Me Home tour feels like a celebration of being a band for 25 years and we’re so excited to throw this party with our great friends Sugarland. We’ll both be playing all our biggest hits and then some. Can’t wait to see everyone!”

Fans will hear the newly released single live this fall on the Take Me Home US tour, produced by Live Nation and Sandbox Live, with special guest Sugarland and support from The Castellows. Various ticket pre-sales for the Take Me Home Tour will run throughout the week, ahead of the general sale beginning on Friday, April 12 at 10 a.m. at www.littlebigtown.com. The fall trek includes a stop at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY, on November 2, 2024. The closing night is a special Nashville homecoming for the band as it’ll be their first show in town since 2017’s iconic sold-out 10-night residency at Ryman Auditorium.

The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, interactive Little Big Town coffee book, limited edition and autographed tour poster & more. VIP package contents vary based on offer selected.

About Little Big Town:
Little Big Town was formed in 1998 in Homewood, Alabama by members Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook.
The group’s contributions include:

Induction into the Grand Ole Opry in 2014
The band’s second album, 2005’s The Road To Here, went platinum, with “Bring It On Home” their first Top 5 entry on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
The band earned their first GRAMMY win for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Pontoon” from their 2012 album Tornado. They made their GRAMMY stage debut performing “Girl Crush” at the 58th GRAMMYS in 2016.
Schlapman founded The Dogwood Project charity to send a floral arrangement or Dogwood tree to children struggling through the grieving process of losing a parent.

About Sugarland:
Sugarland is an Atlanta, Georgia country music duo composed of singer-songwriters Jennifer Nettles (lead vocals) and Kristian Bush (background vocals, lead vocals, mandolin, acoustic guitar). Sugarland was founded in 2003 by Bush and Kristen Hall (acoustic guitar, background vocals), and became a trio when Jennifer Nettles was brought in as lead singer. Sugarland was signed to Mercury Nashville Records in 2004.
About The Castellows:
Neo-Traditional Country music trio, The Castellows, are bringing a literal meaning to the phrase, “family tradition.” The band comprised of sisters Ellie (lead guitar), Powell (banjo) and Lily (vocals), hail from small rural Georgetown, Georgia, but now call Nashville home. The Castellows’ sound is traditional, yet modern. Authentic, yet harnessed. The common thread among the trio, other than their DNA, is their masterful three-part harmonies which blend together to create one singular, almost angelic, voice. The Castellows’ craft as songwriters is as robust as their voices, which is evident across the trio’s debut EP, A Little Goes A Long Way, releasing February 9, 2024. The band wrote/co-wrote six of the seven songs that make up the project, with the promise of much more music to come. The band began turning heads of music industry insiders in January 2023. When spring arrived, The Castellows had signed a record deal with Warner Music Nashville & Warner Records, collectively. Wasting no time on pleasantries, The Castellows immediately got to work writing, recording, and performing live. Tapping veteran producer Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow, Nanci Griffith, Queens of the Stone Age), the first fruits of labor to be harvested from 2023 is the debut A Little Goes A Long Way. One year later, the three sisters from a cattle farm in Georgia are still turning heads, landing on multiple 2024 ‘Watch Lists’ including CMT ‘Listen Up,’ Pandora, Country Now, and Nashville Lifestyles’ ‘Five Groups You Need To Know,” as well as announcing a 21-city tour that will begin eight days after the release of A Little Goes A Long Way….and they’re just getting started.

Dizgo w/ Grub & Solar Circuit
Dizgo
“DIZGO has one of the most operative names in the jamband scene, evoking a transcendence of genre: a dizzier disco, filled with a hodge-podge of genres, styles, and technical influences while still, at it’s core, a dance party.” -> Space Tapes
Dizgo redefines the live experience by blending jamtronica with funk, deep-groove soul, and psychedelic rock, taking the audience on a musical journey that includes intricate compositions and extended improvisation. The result is something both danceable and introspective: soulful vocals ,interweaving analog synths, and shredding guitar all which join forces under the banner of Dizgo.
The band has played stand out performances at festivals such as Peach MusicFestival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Resonance Music Festival, Werk Out MusicFestival, Sonic Bloom Music Festival, and much more and has supported acts suchas Goose, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Papadosio, The Main Squeeze, Aqueous, Lespecial, and more.

SVDDEN DEATH
svddendeath.com
In a scene that is consistently changing, Bay Area native Danny Howland, better known as SVDDEN DEATH has taken a spot at the forefront in this new age of dubstep. Finding inspiration through legends within bass such as Noisia, 16BIT, and Skrillex, Danny has managed to formulate a hybrid of textured rhythms and sub-wrecking bass-lines that are of his own maniacal sound.
From releasing his first EP through the well-known Never Say Die: Black Label to now becoming one of the largest independent acts in dance music, his project continues to expand at unstoppable rates. Selling out world famous venues such as the Hollywood Palladium and Red Rocks Amphitheater.
The dropping of his heavy hitting VOYD alter ego was a movement within itself. With the VOYD project came multiple highlighted moments in electronic music history, such as the first live play of the hit song “Behemoth” which has easily become a staple that is guaranteed to be repeated throughout the festival circuits, the moment he was lifted into the air at his SOLD OUT Hollywood Palladium being the first DJ to have to taken flight during a performance, as well as being the first DJ to play at the infamous Caverns in Tennessee where he later hosted his own multi-day music festival, “Summoning of the Eclipse.” It is clear that SVDDEN DEATH has made his mark within the scene and will continue to level up while doing it.

“Runnin’ Outta Time Tour” Featuring Lily Rose w/ Payton Smith
2024-11-08 20:00 | Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St, Buffalo, NY, 14203, United States
“Runnin’ Outta Time Tour” Featuring Lily Rose w/ Payton Smith
Lily Rose
Atlanta, Georgia native Lily Rose burst onto the scene with her viral hit “Villain,” instantly propelling her into the national spotlight almost overnight. Signed to Big Loud Records / Back Blocks Music / Mercury Records, Lily toured with Country’s hottest stars as she hungrily chased down her dreams and married her wife Daira in 2023. Amidst the whirlwind of success, Lily felt a tug to reassess her priorities and find balance between her career aspirations and personal fulfillment. Out of that period of reflection comes the long-awaited EP and Lily’s first batch of new music since 2022, Runnin’ Outta Time, out now. A co-writer on each track, it’s Lily at her most personal and honest, bundling her beliefs and contradictions into six new songs that explain who she is, where she came from and where she’s heading. It’s the perfect soundtrack for the intense push and pull in Lily’s life and a potent reminder of how important it is to take a breath and focus on the things that matter most. In this new chapter, Lily embodies the classic dichotomy between Saturday-night energy and Sunday-morning contemplation.
Lily has been on multiple tours with fellow stylistic maverick Sam Hunt and opened shows for Country-pop icon Shania Twain, and even experienced her own global pop moment when she sang on Diplo’s 2023 EDM-Country banger “Sad in the Summer” as she introduced herself to a whole new group of fans through performances on NBC’s The Voice and ABC’s Good Morning America. She’s already been nominated for ACM Best New Female Artist and took home GLAAD’s Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist Award in 2022, and now, she emerges with a crisp, edgy new sound and a renewed understanding of what matters most to her. It’s obvious that her dedication to authenticity and personal growth shines through in every note, “I really wanted to achieve and keep achieving and came to realize that it’s not the most important thing,” Lily says. “What I need to achieve most is to be a good wife and a good daughter and a good friend — that will keep fueling the fire for the rest of my career.”

The Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus adds its voices to the rich tapestry of sound. Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 closes the night, a work of profound emotional range that explores themes of joy, despair, and tranquility. This concert not only honors the past but looks forward to the future of music-making in Buffalo.

Fireside Collective w/ Special Guests
Fireside Collective
A quartet who cheerfully disregards every kind of one-dimensional label that might be attached to their music, Fireside Collective has been on a roll since emerging seven years ago from the fertile roots music scene of Asheville, North Carolina. In quick order, the progressive bluegrass group released its debut album, won the 2016 Band Contest at MerleFest, earned an International Bluegrass Music Association Momentum Band of the Year nomination, and embarked on an ambitious touring schedule that’s earned an enthusiastic reception from traditional bluegrass to wide-ranging, eclectic music festival audiences alike.
Blending the characteristic interplay of bluegrass instrumentation and harmonies with strong original material and exuberant energy, Fireside Collective has drawn on folk, blues, funk and a wide variety of bluegrass sounds to create a distinctive body of work that’s all their own.
Each member—Joe Cicero (guitar); Jesse Iaquinto (mandolin); Tommy Maher (resonator guitar) and Carson White (upright bass)— brings a strong, original voice to his instrument, and the unique contributions of different lead and harmony vocalists complement the variety in the group’s many original songs. “Depending on where you come from and your experience with folk music, you may think we’re very traditional, or on the other hand, consider us a progressive act,” says Iaquinto. “We appreciate both ends of the spectrum and may lie on a different end on any given night.” But whether they’re bringing the classic sound of bluegrass or exploring new musical territory, Fireside Collective delivers a fresh, energetic approach and a blast of enthusiastic creativity that’s electrifying audiences across the country.

Cris Jacobs
From Baltimore comes Cris Jacobs — an unexpectedly gritty soul-blues singer and guitarist with outlaw country ethos. Blending a variety of musical traditions, Jacobs creates a distinctive voice and sound of his own punctuated by emotive songwriting and explosive guitar playing. Equally at home playing heartfeltAmericana ballads or funky blues rockers, Jacobs is known for his mesmerizing live shows, where his improvisational guitar playing, powerhouse band, and deep reservoir of songs make each night a unique experience.
Named one of Rolling Stone’s “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know” in 2017, Jacobs has collaborated with the Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh and Dumpstaphunk’s Ivan Neville, and earned opening slots on tours with Sturgill Simpson and Steve Winwood.
With three solo albums to his name, a collaborative record with Ivan Neville aptly titled “Neville Jacobs”, songwriting credits that include bluegrass artists Audie Blaylock and Frank Solivan, New Orleans funksters Dumpstaphunk, and gospel legends Blind Boys of Alabama, Jacobs continues to evolve and display his wide range of writing and performing prowess. “No matter the song”, he says, “I just like to keep it soulful and let the music speak for itself”.

Will Downing will appear with his full band (not the BPO)

Celebrating an insane 35 years in the “bizness” and with 27 records to his credit, Grammy-nominated R&B | Smooth Jazz singer Will Downing will not be stopped! Flexing on his international appeal, lead single “What Part of My Love” from his new record Soul Rising shot to the top of the UK Soul Chart Top 30 and parked there. With recordings for Island, Mercury, Verve, Motown, Sophisticated Soul, and Shanachie Records, Downing is an industry veteran whose silky baritone has been compared to Luther Vandross and Brian McKnight.
About Will Downing
Career highlights include the #1 R&B chart-topping album After Tonight (2007) and Classique (2009), which peaked at #22 on the Billboard 100. Downing’s collaborators include a Who’s Who of R&B | Soul | Jazz headliners: Jennifer Holliday, Kool & the Gang, Gerald Albright, Billy Ocean, Regina Belle, and Maysa, among others.
Will Downing was born and raised in a working-class family in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. His father was a skycap at a local airport and his mother was a schoolteacher. As a teen, Downing was a member of a school choir. At age 16, he sang publishing house demos for songwriters who couldn’t sing well, earning $50 each.
In 1988, he signed a recording contract with 4th & B’way Records and released his first solo album Will Downing. It included a cover version of the John Coltrane classic, “A Love Supreme,” which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs record chart. Downing switched to Island Records for his second release, Come Together as One (1989).
Downing moved to Mercury Records for his fourth outing, Love’s the Place to Be (1993). All the Man You Need, released on Motown Records, received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Traditional R&B Album in 2000. It included “When You Need Me,” a duet with Chante Moore. In 2002, Downing received the International Association of African-American Music Diamond Award.
In 2023, Will suffered a soul-crushing loss, with the unexpected passing of his daughter Aron Siobhan Downing in January. As a father, he was devastated…heartbroken. As an artist, he sought solace and comfort through his craft, facing the hurt head-on, exploring multiple themes of love to begin healing. Persevering through the pain, Downing’s soul is rising…literally! The Prince of Sophisticated Soul is proud to share his 7- song masterclass of triumph over tragedy, Soul Rising! Although not a “concept” album, the pieces of Soul Rising fit together beautifully as a single statement in honor and celebration of his eternal love for Siobhan.
