SUMMARY:Josh Blue - Narrows Comedy Series
DESCRIPTION:Narrows Comedy Series\nThursday\, September 17\, 2026\n$43 Advance | $45 Day of show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nAfter his groundbreaking win on Last Comic Standing in 2006\, Josh Blue has risen through the ranks to become a well-established headliner at venues throughout the world. In 2018\, Josh crushed his set on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In the same year\, he was honored with a performance at the William H. Macy Gala at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal\, Canada. He wrapped up 2018 by recording his fifth hour special\, Broccoli\, at his home club\, Comedy Works in Denver\, CO. In 2021\, following his 3rd place finish on NBC’s America’s Got Talent\, Josh Blue hit the road with his As NOT Seen on TV Tour. Josh does over 200 shows a year\, continuing to spread laughter and break down stereotypes of people with disabilities. His stand-up routine is in a constant state of evolution and his off-the-cuff improvisational skills guarantee that no two shows are alike. \nJosh represented the United States in 8 countries as a member of the US Paralympic Soccer Team. Josh and his team were thoroughly disgraced in the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens\, Greece by not scoring a single goal. He is a single father living in Denver\, CO with his son and daughter. Don’t miss Josh as he travels to a city near you in 2026!\n\nCheck out more at www.joshblue.com

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.

SUMMARY:Los Lobos
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, July 25\, 2026\n$90 Advance | $92 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nIt’s a matter of time. 50 years to be exact. And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work\, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running\, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just at the live shows. In between they’ve recorded 17 studio albums\, 7 live LPs\, 3 compilations\, 2 EPs\, 2 DVDs\, and contributed 40+ guest appearances on their friends’ recordings—all garnering 4 Grammys\, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction\, the ALMA Ritchie Valens Pioneer Award\, NEA and Hispanic Heritage Foundation Honors\, Congressional recognitions\, plus countless “Keys to the City” and “Los Lobos Day” celebrations. And those are just a few of the highlights. But beyond all the hoopla and applause (and the source of it all\, really) is the tremendous heart. Rather\, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others\, working for peace and justice\, penning some of the most literate and important music of their time\, transforming the hard cries from the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope\, tales of common folk finding ways to endure. The young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul\, R&B\, and doo-wop. Were cured through the African-American currents of the blues\, jazz\, and rock ‘n’ roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos\, their songs have always glistened with the distillation from their Mexican and Latin American roots—nourished by Norteña and rancheras\, buoyed by bolero and cumbias\, soaring on the rhythms of son huasteco and son jarocho. Los Lobos have helped spread the rich diversity of cultures across every continent\, throughout the global community. Kids in Antwerp now know about Aztlán. Residents of Luxor and Ghana are crooning Lalo Guerrero. People from Laos and Bulgaria are belting “La Bamba”—all thanks to The Wolves as cultural ambassadors. Talk about a living legacy. Talk about a productive half century. And in the true rebel spirit\, they did it all on their own terms\, against formula. For the ages. To our delight. Quite simply\, they are one of the tightest\, one of the best\, one of the most prolific bands ever. And\, amazingly\, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it\, quite simply: “Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo\, Louie Pérez\, Jr.\, Cesar Rosas\, Conrad Lozano\, Steve Berlin.”

SUMMARY:Big Richard
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 23 2026\n$28 Advance | $31 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm\nOpener: Eric Royer \nBluegrass band Big Richard makes music for the 21st century’s twisted cultural unease. Their latest album Pet\, is a fierce\, provocative\, rejoinder to what troubles them and the world right now\, which was recorded live to tape in order to capture the fervor of their live shows. \n“Big Richard is so much about our energetic delivery\, and so I think it’s been really important for us as a group to figure out how to do that for a record\,” says mandolin and guitar player Bonnie Sims. \n“We made the album all on tape and did it all in these single-shot performances\,” cellist Joy Adams adds. “The collection of songs\, we wanted to take our most hard driving\, heavy hitting songs\, we wanted to craft a banger set list. Like\, if we had a 30-minute set\, what would we put on there that says the most\, and makes people feel the broadest bunch of feelings? And it was all these songs.” \nAdams and Sims both studied music and toured and played extensively before (and outside of) joining Big Richard\, as did the other members of the band: Adams has three degrees in cello\, toured with Darol Anger and Nathaniel Rateliff\, and has recorded for television and film (including the Queen’s Gambit); Sims\, who grew up playing music with her family\, has a degree in commercial music\, with a vocal specialization in yodeling\, toured and recorded extensively with her husband\, Taylor Sims (including a platinum-certified record); fiddler Eve Panning\, who also grew up playing with her family\, studied violin performance and music education\, taught orchestra\, and played in bluegrass bands\, including touring widely with classical group Barrage; and bassist Hazel Royer started out playing music with her dad Eric Royer in the Boston\, MA folk and rock music scene\, and studied at the Berklee College of Music. \nPet\, the band’s sophomore studio album\, was engineered by Mark Anderson and produced by the Big Richard members\, will be released February 5\, 2026 on Signature Sounds. Anchored by staples from the band’s live sets\, the album includes their urgent\, vociferous version of Dave Olney’s anti-capitalist anthem\, “Millionaire\,” and an equally-vehement rendition of the anti-gun violence treatise\, “Red Fox Run\,” written by Cecelia and Andy Thorn (of Leftover Salmon). Both songs are emotionally potent at shows\, and the audience’s anger often palpable; feeling it together as they play is cathartic\, Sims says. \nBig Richard opens Pet full force\, with a blistering medley of Sims’ song\, “It’s Gonna Fall” and the Bill Monroe fiddle tune\, “Old Daingerfield”: “Our air has turned to poison and our water catches flame / You know we’re blowing out the ground under our beds in which we lay / And we’re digging holes we’ll never fill\, the ground shakes to protest / But we just close our minds and eyes and ears\, there ain’t no stopping progress\,” Sims sings about her despair at the destruction of the natural world through fire and flood\, and the fracking wells she sees springing up in Colorado. (At shows\, the band also jibs at Monroe’s infamous habit of claiming credit for all songs written by his band members\, by joking that Sims wrote both tunes.) \n“A lot of the time in our sets\, we like to follow a heavy-hitting song with an instrumental that meets that energy\,” Panning says of tacking “Old Daingerfield” onto the end of “It’s Gonna Fall.” “It feels good to reflect on something for a moment\, or keep going with it\, and keep that energy somewhere.” \nThe band applied the same pressure release system on Pet\, which features two entirely instrumental tracks written by Panning. Comparatively gentle\, “K’s March\,” inspired by a musical phrase Panning’s roommate used to sing around the house\, follows “Millionaire” with a wholesome old-time jam track that lets audiences blow off steam after being wound tight; and later in the album\, “Circus Jerk” (double entendre intended)\, hints at the band’s raunchy stage banter and bluegrass music’s reputation for showoff solos (by giving each band member her moment to rip). \n“We’re in the most musically locked spot we’ve been in thus far\, since I’ve been in the band\, and this album feels like a really good reflection of that\,” says Royer\, who joined in 2023. \nUnapologetically outrageous and provocative\, the band’s name is a wink to the ‘big dick’ energy Big Richard is reclaiming from male bluegrass bands. They’re intent on making audiences laugh and feel a little uncomfortable\, for the sake of making them think\, as well. To that end\, the album’s cover portrays the band dressed in deranged clown outfits and crouching on railroad tracks in front of an oil refinery. And its title track “Pet\,” delivered like a slightly demented circus sound track and written by Adams\, is a rich paean for the people society too often lets fall through the cracks. \n“I wrote it thinking about people who are stuck in circumstances outside of their control\, whether they were born into it or not. That might be childhood trauma or poverty or a chronic health problem\, or something that they didn’t choose\, and they’re just hauling it around with them\,” Adams says. “I think in a deeper sense\, the song is reflective of how many people get lost in the big turning of the world right now.” It’s a sentiment and a sound she doubles down on later on the album with the spooky music box track\, “Holy Holy\,” about religious/childhood trauma and growing up with an addict in the house. \nBig Richard’s power to deliver emotionally evocative music derives in part from their rare make up. Though the album also employs toy piano\, banjo\, and octave mandolin\, the band primarily performs on bass\, mandolin and guitar\, fiddle\, and with Adams on cello\, which adds an extra sonic dimension for bluegrass (though Adams\, who wrote her doctoral dissertation on the history of cello in fiddle music\, says the cello actually predates the bass in string bands). \nStill\, among the strife and intensity\, Pet leaves room for a little sweetness. First with “Alaska\,” a yearning love-song Royer wrote about a crush when she was 16\, and then with a cover of Hank Cochran’s “Make the World Go Away\,” which concludes the album\, and often their live show\, too. At concerts\, the band’s four members descend from the stage\, and play the song clustered together in a clearing in the crowd\, a final act of gathering after an intense show. \n“Our live performances are so raw and so gritty\, and I think that our sound never really flourished in that digital landscape.” Adams says. “[Recording live to tape] we were all in the same room together\, very close together\, with a lot of mic bleed\, etc. And the energy was insane. It felt so good to record this way. Even on the first day\, we were like ‘wow\, this sounds like our band.’ And to do something that’s very real and gritty and has little mistakes in it just feels alive and human.” \nAbout the Opener: Eric Royer \nEric Royer has performed as Royer’s One-Man Band since 1993. After building his one-of-a-kind\, self-made mechanical contraption—The Guitar Machine—in Tucson\, AZ\, he has recorded and toured extensively. The device allows him to play acoustic guitar\, bass\, and drums with his feet while picking banjo with his hands\, singing\, and playing harmonica. No looping or digital effects involved. \nRoyer won a Boston Music Award for Best Roots Act as the banjo player in his band The Resophonics\, and he has played and recorded with many local bluegrass bands.
