MARC BROUSSARD
with support from
CRISTINA VANE
-
Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Marc Broussard is a unique performer who embodies the essence of American soul and has forged his own distinct musical style. The son of Louisiana Hall of Fame guitarist Ted Broussard of "The Boogie Kings," he nurtured his musical gifts at an early age in the vibrant Lafayette, Louisiana, music scene. After releasing a highly successful independent EP at age 20, Broussard made his major-label debut with Carencro. The album featured the breakout hit "Home" and propelled him into the international spotlight. That album and the others that followed revealed Broussard as a Southern soul singer with a rarefied talent and an innate stylistic and emotional authenticity that has made him one of the most indelible artists of his generation. The Louisiana-born and raised artist has created a wide range of music in his career. Carencro laid the groundwork with unequaled style, illustrating his knack for modern soul music and setting the stage for his long and distinguished career. NPR cited, "His music radiates soulful Louisiana blues, but his songs blend those influences with raucous rock 'n' roll to create unique and infectious music." Washington Times noted, "Few modern voices are as powerful as Marc Broussard's soulful, Bayou-bred baritone."

ADAM CAROLLA
ADAM CAROLLA is best known as a comedian, actor, radio personality, television host and NY
Times best-selling author. He currently hosts THE ADAM CAROLLA SHOW, which holds the
Guinness Book of World Records for “most downloaded podcast." Adam started THE ADAM
CAROLLA SHOW podcast from his home office in Feb. 2009. The podcast now receives more
than 30 million downloads a month and has been featured in Fast Company Magazine,
Entrepreneur, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.
After years “digging ditches and swinging hammers” on construction sites throughout Southern
California led to a job rebuilding a boxing gym, Adam traded on that for an opportunity to coach
boxing. Little did he know this would lead to a fateful meeting with Jimmy Kimmel which would
officially put him on the path to comedy stardom. After joining Kimmel on KROQ's hit morning
show Adam launched his national comedy career on the syndicated radio program LOVELINE
with Dr. Drew Pinsky. MTV developed a television version of the show, which was co-hosted by
Adam and Dr. Drew for five seasons (1996-2000). With Jimmy Kimmel (and their partner Daniel
Kellison) Adam created and starred in two hit Comedy Central shows, THE MAN SHOW
(1999-2003) and CRANK YANKERS (2002‐2005). He later took that construction acumen into
the television world with TLC’s THE ADAM CAROLLA PROJECT, which saw him and old
construction buddies remodeling and flipping his childhood home, Spike TV’s TO CATCH A
CONTRACTOR where he busted shady contractors and made them fix their shoddy work, and
ADAM CAROLLA AND FRIENDS BUILD STUFF LIVE where he coached celebrity guests on
various DIY challenges.
Adam became a New York Times best-selling author when his book, IN 50 YEARS WE’LL ALL
BE CHICKS, topped the charts for ten weeks. The audio version went straight to the #1 position
on iTunes. He has since written five more books including New York Times Best Sellers NOT
TACO BELL MATERIAL and PRESIDENT ME. Adam also co-wrote, produced and starred in
two independent feature length films: THE HAMMER (2007) and ROAD HARD (2015), a
crowd-funded comedy that raised over a million dollars in a single month. Through his venture
Chassy Media he produced the inspirational documentaries WINNING: THE RACING LIFE OF
PAUL NEWMAN, UPPITY: THE WILLY T. RIBBS STORY and THE 24-HOUR WAR, which
documents the battle between Ford and Ferrari in the 1960’s for racing dominance at Le Mans.
Along with hosting his daily podcast, Adam headlines Clubs, Theaters and Casinos nationwide
as a stand up comic touring his particular brand of common sense comedy that will air as his
first Stand Up special on Fox Nation in the Winter of 2025.

Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, and now based in Los Angeles, Dani Offline is a songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist making analog R&B for the 21st century. Inspired by jazz and the classic "Quiet Storm" radio of the '70s, her sound is at once sensual and introspective, combining poetic lyricism, ethereal vocal improvisation, and retrofuturist sensibilities. That vision comes fully into focus on her debut album, Lover's Discourse, released this September via Eulipion Arts. Primarily analog and entirely sample-free, its twelve songs set Dani's floating vocals above lush, jazz-inspired, and deeply collaborative instrumentation. The record has earned features from The Line of Best Fit, Ones to Watch, COLORS, and MTV UK, placements on Spotify's Feelin' Good and Fresh Finds R&B, and co-signs from the likes of SZA and Questlove.
Alongside her recorded work, Dani has built a reputation as a compelling live performer. She recently supported rum.gold on his U.S. tour, sold out headline shows at SFJAZZ, and has shared stages with artists including Venna, Braxton Cook, Kiefer, Luke Titus, Madison McFerrin, and Louis Cole. This fall she takes Lover's Discourse Live on the road, with stops including Ronnie Scott's (London), Nightclub 101 (NYC), and Gold-Diggers (LA). Whether onstage or in the studio, Dani's work is defined by her rich musicianship and her commitment to music that feels deeply personal and endlessly expansive.

LUCIUS
Rooted in mirrored kinship and a captivating vocal blend, Lucius — the Grammy-nominated indie-pop duo of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig — are songwriters of rare emotional precision, building one of contemporary music’s most enchanting, harmonic sounds. Their voices, described by the Los Angeles Times as “otherworldly,” move in perfect tandem: two instruments so attuned they read as one. Rolling Stone called their most recent album, 2025’s self-titled “the best album of their career” — a distinction earned through hard-won vulnerability, as Wolfe and Laessig turn inward to explore motherhood, relationships, and the quiet complexities of a life shared. The New Yorker wrote that the record “reaches the pinnacle of a vibrant, harmonic enterprise.”
The arc of their catalog is one of continuous, confident evolution. Their debut, Wildewoman, announced a singular voice — dual lead vocals wrapped in retro charm, which The New York Times praised the live show that year as “the best musical performance of any kind.” Good Grief introduced a sleeker, synth-driven palette, while Second Nature — produced by Brandi Carlile and Dave Cobb — was celebrated by the Los Angeles Times with its “lush synths and sleek disco grooves under the women’s laser-guided vocals.”
Throughout their career, Lucius has brought their mesmerizing live show to some of the world’s most celebrated stages and screens, including Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Later! with Jools Holland, and Austin City Limits. Wolfe and Laessig have also become two of the most sought-after collaborators in popular music, a testament to the rare, transportive quality of their sound. The duo have lent their singular harmonies to an extraordinary range of artists — among them Joni Mitchell, The War on Drugs, Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, Jeff Tweedy, Roger Waters, The National, Harry Styles, and Ringo Starr.

AMIGO THE DEVIL
[SOLO]
with
NATE BERGMAN
In the vast realm of modern folk and alternative rock, Amigo The Devil is an artist who channels a voice of unsettling beauty and raw truth. Splicing alarming honesty with personal realizations, his narratives carry weight, wisdom and wit. With a brilliant mind, full soul and a penchant for the obscure, Amigo the Devil’s songwriting harkens back to a more brutal state of songwriting, influenced by the honesty of Leonard Cohen, the creativity of Tom Waits and the ruthlessness of Chavela Vargas. Rather than imitate, he identifies with their authentic disregard of consequences when it comes to songwriting and releasing music. Amigo the Devil is not polished or clean – he’s all heart, with reckless abandon, choosing to embrace one’s flaws instead of trying to change them.
The son of a Greek father and Spanish mother, Amigo the Devil – otherwise known as Danny Kiranos – is a first-generation American from South Florida. He came of age in downtown Miami during the mid-1980s and spent significant portions of his earlier career embracing an almost nomadic lifestyle, absorbing tales from the underworld and penning songs about other wandering or lost souls. These stories found their way into his lyrics and gained a steady fellowship of fans along the way. His first full-length album, Volume 1, gave birth to ballads including “Hell and You,” “I Hope Your Husband Dies” and “One Kind of People,” followed by 2018’s Everything is Fine, which brought forth songs like “Hungover in Jonestown” and “Cocaine and Abel.”
This evolution came fully into focus with Born Against (2021), released under his independent label Liars Club Records, which garnered critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Consequence, No Depression and American Songwriter, which described Amigo the Devil as “an artist who gives full reign to intrigue and intellect in equal measure.” The next chapter continued with the February 2024 release of Yours Until the War is Over, a songwriter’s record that proves this whole Amigo the Devil thing isn’t some true crime niche. Similar to Waits and Cohen, Amigo the Devil embodies the truest form of an artist, letting the music speak for itself while reminding listeners of the power of storytelling and music’s role in narrating human emotion.

Who's Bad: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience
Who’s Bad was born from fandom, fueled by obsession, and built on respect.
Founded in 2003, Who’s Bad has spent over two decades honoring the music, movement, and spirit of Michael Jackson — not by imitation, but by re-creating the feeling of his legendary live performances. What began as a passion project has grown into a globally touring concert experience that has united audiences on nearly every continent through the timeless power of MJ’s music.
With more than 2,500 performances worldwide, Who’s Bad has earned its reputation the hard way — night after night on stages across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and beyond. From sold-out runs in the United Kingdom, including London’s O2 Arena, to landmark tours through China, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Canada, Germany, and more, the message has been universal: Michael’s music still brings people together. At home in the U.S., Who’s Bad travels relentlessly, packing theaters, clubs, festivals, and the House of Blues nationwide. Every show is a celebration — of the songs, the fans, and the energy that made Michael Jackson a once-in-a-lifetime artist.
The show’s power lies in its details. Every groove, every vocal inflection, every gravity-defying dance move is studied, respected, and performed live by a cast of world-class musicians and dancers with backgrounds ranging from Broadway to Super Bowl halftime shows. Fronted by the velvety vocals and pinpoint choreography of Taalib York, the band delivers a performance with soul, precision, and an undeniable emotional charge.
Who’s Bad has shared stages with icons including Aretha Franklin, The Backstreet Boys, The Four Tops, Boys II Men, and Pitbull. Industry leaders have taken notice — Live Nation’s Anthony Nicolaidis calls the band “the real deal,” while Michael Jackson’s longtime manager Frank DiLeo famously said after seeing the show, “Michael would have been proud.” Whether you grew up with the Jackson 5, fell in love to Human Nature, or learned to moonwalk to Billie Jean,
Who’s Bad offers more than a concert — it offers connection. As the lights go down and that unmistakable silhouette appears, audiences don’t just watch the show… they become part of it. This is not nostalgia. This is not a costume act. This is a living, breathing celebration of the King of Pop — performed with love, integrity, and the kind of energy that only comes from true believers.

GUY MARTIN & FRIENDS
-
Ventura guitarist, and songwriter Guy Martin has spent decades developing a musical identity rooted in blues and rock, built around expressive guitar playing, and the energy of live performance.Martin began playing guitar as a teenager, forming his first band, The Threads, while attending Ventura High School. After high school came Rude Mood—a nod to one of his strongest early influences, Stevie Ray Vaughan—and several years immersed in the music of Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and the blues-rock tradition that helped shape his approach to the guitar.
That evolution eventually became the Guy Martin Group, a power trio that remained active for more than a decade, combining original material with Martin’s interpretations of the artists who influenced him. Today, that lineage continues with the Guy Martin Band, while Martin’s musical palette has grown well beyond those early influences.
Over the course of his career, Martin has shared the stage with an extraordinary range of artists, including B.B. King, Gregg Allman, Slash, Little Feat, Jeff Healey, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Junior Brown and Dave Mason.
Original music has remained an important part of Martin’s musical identity throughout his career. His songwriting draws mostly from his blues and rock foundation. Martin continues to write and record new material today, allowing the music to develop on its own timeline.
Martin has also maintained a strong connection to the Ventura music scene and community while remaining selective about his hometown appearances. In 2012, he independently produced and headlined a Jimi Hendrix Experience Night at the Ventura Theater, drawing approximately 800 people for the one-night event.
Away from the stage, Martin is also a producer and recording engineer, and operates BlackCouch Studio in Ventura. His work on both sides of the glass has broadened his musical perspective and continues to influence his songwriting, guitar playing and approach to live performance.
Guy Martin & Friends brings those different chapters together for a special hometown show at Ventura Music Hall—built around Martin and his band and joined by a hand-selected group of musical guests and collaborators. Rather than a traditional multi-band bill, the evening is conceived as one continuous, curated live experience celebrating songs, musicianship, collaboration and the guitar-driven music that has been at the center of Martin’s musical life from the beginning.

Since their early days in the 1990s San Diego scene, the Allstars have created a sound all their own: West Coast Boogaloo, named after their landmark debut album with funk icon Fred Wesley. That record, West Coast Boogaloo (1994), was a defining statement—deep, danceable, and drenched in soul—and helped spark the West Coast’s acid jazz and funk revival. Their follow-up, A Town Called Earth, expanded the band’s scope, layering cosmic jazz influences and cinematic textures onto their already formidable funk foundation. Both albums remain touchstones of modern groove music—sampled, revered, and referenced by DJs, beatmakers, and next-generation jazz artists the world over.

THE BROTHERS COMATOSE
Don’t let the name fool you—The Brothers are anything but Comatose. From day one, the band's ethos has always been simple: "You're here, we're here, let's party!" Now, as the stages and audiences have grown, nothing has changed; only the parties are much, MUCH bigger. Bursting with relentless energy, lightning-fast picking, and a crowd-first attitude, the genre-blending outfit has turned their brand of high-octane acoustic music into a must-see movement.
Hailing from Cailfornia, the band has had a long-held reverence for the traditions of bluegrass music. But being in their own ecosystem, so far away from the epicenter of bluegrass, they haven't been constrained by these same traditions. The result has been the emergence of "GOLDENGRASS," a term the band has fully embraced and used to describe this unique style of music, born out of bluegrass, but with the undeniable freedom and rock n' roll attitude of California.
At the heart of the band are brothers Ben and Alex Morrison, whose songs incorporate the best aspects of modern Americana music: poignant lyrics sung in close, blood harmony that create compelling, memorable melodies and conjure up images of well worn highways and and the vast American experience. The recent addition of the band's first "sister," Addie Levy, rounds out their rich blend with her clear, Appalachian-soaked high harmonies and a driving mandolin chop steeped in bluegrass . Soaring above it all is the controlled mayhem of Philip Brezina's violin, whose improvised, blistering solos bring the rawness and rebelliousness of a rock n' roll guitarist. And underneath it all is Steve Height on upright bass, whose unwavering, workman-like thump will make you swear (or wish!) you were at a back porch hootenanny drinking out of a jug.
From down-home bluegrass/folk festivals, to mainstream pop/country festivals, to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, the Brothers Comatose have earned their reputation as the go-to for folks who want to kick up the dirt and bask in the good vibes of their live shows- an experience that proves bluegrass isn't just a tradition to be preserved, but a celebration meant to be blown wide open.

UMPHREY'S McGEE
Umphrey’s McGee once titled an album Local Band Does O.K. It’s a characteristically understated joke that says plenty about how seriously they’ve always taken the idea of not taking themselves too seriously.
Nearly three decades later, the overachieving local band is still here and doing just fine. With distinctly Midwestern stubbornness, UM has built one of American rock’s great independent endurance stories: nearly 3,000 live shows, 15 studio albums, hundreds of millions of streams and a fiercely loyal community around the world.
From the beginning, Umphrey’s built its own lane, pairing progressive-rock precision with the risk of nightly improvisation. Songs stretch, collapse and rebuild themselves. Genres are less rules than ingredients.
That same spirit has fueled decades of fan-first innovation, from UMLive and Headphones & Snowcones to UMBowl, destination events and Blueprints, which transformed fan-selected live improvisations into fully realized compositions.
Through lineup changes, detours, and a constantly shifting world, the essential impulse remains intact: get in a room together, make something that feels alive, and follow it wherever it leads.
The past is worth celebrating. What comes next is the reason to keep paying attention.

THE EXPENDABLES
The Expendables have proven anything but in their nearly 25-year career since starting out as a spirited party band in high school performing surf-rock covers for birthdays and family gatherings. A quarter-century later, elementary school buddies Raul Bianchi, Adam Peterson and Geoff Weers, along with bassist Ryan DeMars, who joined in 2000, have forged a unique soundborn in the laid-back beach life in their hometown of Santa Cruz, CA. The Expendables’ infectious hybrid of ska, surf-rock, punk, reggae and metal can be heard in their latest streaming track, “Surfman Cometh,” a spaghetti-western meets “Pipeline” twang that could easily form the soundtrack to the latest Quentin Tarantino film. The song is the first release from the group’s newand improved Band Room, their longtime rehearsal space in a 1,100 square foot warehouse and former wine cellar on Coral Street, where Adam Patterson took charge of the final mix to great effect. The band’s previous studio album of original material, 2015’s Sand in the Sky, was followed by The Expendables’ second release featuring acoustic reworkings of past material, Gone Raw, 2019’s follow-up to 2012’s Gone Soft. The Expendables continue wood shedding until they can get back out on the road. Their 2017 Moment EP, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae chart, showed the band starting to move into different musical directions, a set featuring collaborations with reggae crooner HIRIE, rapper Tech N9ne, Eric Rachmany, and Micah Peuschel

Attention Humans! This is HENGE.
We are not from this world.
We bring you music from distant planets.
We offer this gift for the edification of humankind… so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space.
Extra-terrestrial joymongers HENGE have been delighting audiences across the UK and Europe since landing on Planet Earth over a decade ago. Their scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act’ at the Independent Festival Awards. With four acclaimed albums and their own comic book series expanding the HENGE mythos, they continue to spread their message of unity and joy wherever they touch down.
Their latest album, Journey to Voltus B, expands their intergalactic mythology with a conceptually ambitious release that features a novel twist - a double-groove vinyl pressing that offers two possible endings, depending on where the needle lands. The album has received glowing reviews, sold out headline shows across the UK and Europe, and earned radio support from BBC 6 Music tastemakers including Stuart Maconie, Deb Grant, and Craig Charles.
The music escapes definition, but occupies a space between rave and prog rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic, subversive and invigoratingly playful, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’. Ultimately, HENGE are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures.

BOOGIE BELGIQUE
Boogie Belgique brings the sound of forgotten jazz and swing records into the present. What began in 2012 as the bedroom project of Antwerp producer and visual artist Oswald Cromheecke grew into a band with an audience all over the world, and a sound that is melancholic, nostalgic and warmly human. The music has passed 100 million streams and is often compared to Bonobo, Wax Tailor and The Cinematic Orchestra.
In 2027 Boogie Belgique tours with Arcade, the new album, out in spring 2027. The album revolves around a fictional building inspired by the Maison du Peuple in Brussels: the people's house of the Belgian workers' movement, an Art Nouveau landmark in iron and glass by Victor Horta, which was a café, concert hall and meeting place at once, until it was demolished in 1965. Arcade is a tribute to the people who build a community, and to the love for craft and culture that connects them. It also asks what we lose when such places disappear.
Musically the album covers the full range of Boogie Belgique, from its electro swing roots through hip hop and trip hop to breakbeat and film music. In a time when more and more is made by machines, Boogie Belgique chooses music made by people: played by real musicians, with artwork and visuals that Oswald creates himself. On stage, the band is known for improvisation, interplay and immersive visuals that Oswald controls from the stage.

Hanging By A Heartstring Tour

Across eight studio albums, Mat Kearney has built a career defined by honest songwriting, genre-blurring production, and an unmistakable voice. The multi-Platinum songwriter and producer has topped multiple Billboard charts, landed four songs on the Hot 100, and amassed more than 2.6 billion global streams.
His latest album, Hanging by a Heartstring (October 9, 2026), marks a new chapter for Kearney. Part love letter to Nashville and part reflection on the road behind him, the record explores enduring love, family, self-reflection, and the balance between chasing a dream and holding on to what matters most.
Kearney has performed on TODAY, Ellen, The Tonight Show, Letterman, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, with praise from USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, People, Billboard, PARADE, and Marie Claire. A seasoned touring artist, he has shared the road with John Mayer, Lady A, Train, NEEDTOBREATHE, Judah & the Lion, Mutemath, and Owl City, while building an extensive headline touring career of his own.
