SUMMARY:Jontavious Willis
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 14\, 2024\n$30 Advance | $32 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nJontavious Willis is resolved in his mission: to reinvigorate today’s Blues with the spirit of the past. Inspired by a time when the Blues were plentiful and rhythm reigned supreme\, Jontavious leverages his unique sound—a synthesis of his Georgia heritage and reverence for traditional Blues—to get the world dancing again. A Grammy-nominated musician and songwriter\, Jontavious performs original\, toe-tapping tunes in the style of Delta\, Piedmont\, Texas\, and Gospel Blues. Dynamic vocals\, technical prowess\, and an abundance of Southern charm keep Jontavious sending jolts of vitality through the Blues community.\nJontavious was born and raised in rural Georgia\, an environment with deep cultural roots that provides the inspiration he has continuously drawn upon to create his unique sound. He spent much of his childhood singing Gospel music at the Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church with his grandfather\, which provided him his first setting to perform for an audience. An early phenom\, his passion for the Blues was sparked at age 14 when he came across a YouTube video of Muddy Waters playing “Hoochie Coochie Man.” He achieved widespread acclaim when living legend Taj Mahal invited Jontavious to accompany him onstage in 2015\, with Taj describing him as his “Wonderboy.” Jontavious was invited to open for Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’ during their joint TajMo tour in 2018\, giving him an opportunity to present his work on a national stage. \nBlue Metamorphosis\, his acoustic debut album released in 2016\, garnered rave reviews in Living Blues and Blues & Rhythm and won the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge 2018 Award for Best Self-Produced CD. His Grammy-nominated sophomore album\, Spectacular Class\, sees Jontavious survey an array of Blues styles with lively ensemble performances. \nHis upcoming album\, signed with Strolling Bones Records\, is a testament to his love for songwriting. With solo tracks as well as duo\, trio\, and full band works\, he articulates a totally original take on traditional Blues. \nJontavious features prominently in shows and festivals across the world\, sharing his unique blend of time-honored yet modern\, intellectual yet danceable Blues with all.

SUMMARY:1776 the Musical
DESCRIPTION:It’s the summer of 1776\, and the nation is ready to declare independence… if only our founding fathers can agree to do it! 1776 follows John Adams of Massachusetts\, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia as they attempt to convince the members of the Second Continental Congress to vote for independence from the shackles of the British monarchy by signing the Declaration of Independence. \n​The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the men behind the national icons: proud\, frightened\, uncertain\, irritable\, charming\, often petty and ultimately noble figures\, determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation.

SUMMARY:The California Honeydrops
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 5\, 2026\n$65 Advance | $67 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \n“The California Honeydrops…evoke the greasy rumble of Booker T and channel the spiritual ecstasy of Sly and the Family Stone.” –Rolling Stone \nFormed in the subway systems of Oakland\, retro-soul outfit The California Honeydrops are an electrifying group that defy convention at every turn. They’ve become a mainstay at festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest (Australia)\, Outside Lands\, Monterey Jazz\, Lightning In A Bottle\, and touring with B.B. King\, Dr. John\, Bonnie Raitt\, Buddy Guy\, and Allen Toussaint. Led by the enigmatic and energetic frontman\, Lech Wierzynski\, and percussionist Benjamin Malament\, each member of the band is a virtuoso in their own rite — Yanos “Johnny Bones” Lustig on saxophone\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards/guitar\, Beaumont Beaullieu on drums\, Miles Blackwell on bass\, and regularly accompanied by Oliver Tuttle on trombone\, Leon Cotter on saxophone/clarinet\, and Miles Lyons on trombone/sousaphone — navigating through a vast repertoire of original songs and timeless classics every night. But what truly sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to the art of improvisation – a skill so finely honed that they have completely abandoned the use of set lists and no two shows are ever the same. Off stage\, their music has been streamed more than 200 million times\, and placed in a variety of TV and films\, including “Dead To Me\,” “Alaska Daily\,” “Black-ish” and more. Their new album Redwood Highway was released August 8\, 2025.
