SUMMARY:Sabbath - Long Live Ozzy! @ Wildey Theatre

SUMMARY:Big Head Todd & The Monsters @ The Pageant
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this show is rescheduled to Saturday\, October 10th. All previously purchased tickets will be honored at the new date.  \nMessage from the band:\n“Unfortunately\, due to an ongoing medical issue with Brian Nevin\, our drummer\, we will be postponing all BHTM dates now through March. All dates from April onwards will go on as planned. We will be announcing postponement dates and refund options very soon. Thank you everyone for all your support.” \n  \nIn this life\, very few friendships withstand the test of time. Naturally\, people go their separate ways and chase their own dreams. As rare as it may be for friendships to last a lifetime\, it might be even rarer for a band to stick together for the long haul. For close to four decades\, the members of Big Head Todd and The Monsters—Todd Park Mohr [vocals\, guitar\, keys\, sax\, harmonica]\, Brian Nevin [drums]\, Rob Squires [bass\, vocals]\, and Jeremy Lawton [keyboards\, lap pedal/steel guitar\, vocals]—have continued to both throw down in the studio and light up stages worldwide. Rallying around a core vision\, the platinum-selling Colorado quartet kick out the kind of blues-drenched rock ‘n’ roll bangers that make you want to rev the engine a little louder\, sing along like no one’s looking\, and live a little freer. \n\n“We work very hard at being a great band\,” Todd leaves off. “We’re also a group that cares for each other. We’ve been together for almost 40 years. Our audience has made it all possible\, and we’re grateful and determined to keep playing.”

SUMMARY:JJ Grey & Mofro @ Atomic
DESCRIPTION:Top of the World Tour\nFrom his early days playing cover music behind chicken wire at a west side Jacksonville juke joint while still working at a lumberyard\, to playing sold-out shows at some of the largest venues and music festivals in the world\, JJ Grey has always delivered his soul-honest truths. Since his first album\, ‘Blackwater’\, back in 2001\, Grey has been releasing deeply moving\, masterfully written\, funkified rock and front porch Southern soul music. \nNow\, with ‘Olustee’ – his tenth album and first in eight years\, and the first he has self-produced – Grey is back\, singing his personal stories with universal themes of redemption\, rebirth\, hard luck\, and inner peace. With his music\, Grey also celebrates good times with friends\, oftentimes mixing the carnal with the cerebral in the very same song. Fueled by his vividly detailed\, timeless original songs spun from his life experiences\, Grey’s gritty baritone drips with honest passion and testifies with a preacher’s foot-pounding fervor. \nWith ‘Olustee’\, JJ Grey has once again pushed the boundaries of his own creative musical\, lyrical and vocal talents\, delivering an instant classic. Many of the songs are steeped in the mythical Southern stories of his ancestral Florida home and filled with people from JJ’s life. The songs are told through the eyes of a poet and sung with pure\, unvarnished soul. Grey’s message is simple and strong – respect the natural world and always try to live in the moment. And never forget the importance of having a good time! \nAtomic Block Party – This is a rain or shine event.

SUMMARY:Tom Rush @ Wildwood Springs Lodge
DESCRIPTION:Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer\, whose shows offer a musical celebration…a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been\, can be\, and will become. His distinctive guitar style\, wry humour and warm\, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific storytelling\, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues. \nRush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s\, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone\, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes\, but also one of my main influences.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences. Rush has long championed emerging artists. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell\, Jackson Browne and James Taylor\, and in more recent years his Club 47® concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own reputations.

SUMMARY:Son Volt @ Delmar Hall
DESCRIPTION:Son Volt is an American rock band formed in 1994 by Jay Farrar after the breakup of Uncle Tupelo.  The band’s current line-up consists of Jay Farrar\, Andrew DuPlantis\, John Horton\, Mark Patterson\, and Mark Spencer.  In addition to playing alternative rock\, the band is considered a staple of the alternative country rock movement of the 1990s.  The band’s sound also is rooted in folk rock and Americana. The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2001\, before reforming in 2004. \nSon Volt’s latest record\, Day of the Doug\, revisits the music of legendary Texas troubadour Doug Sahm. But it’s much more than fond remembrance and colorful tribute. It is a summoning and a celebration of a songwriter and performer whose work forged country\, Tex-Mex\, rock\, rhythm and blues\, folk\, and psychedelia into an utterly unique American sound. \nDay of the Doug steps confidently on the trails Sahm blazed. Like any journey to find a grail\, Day of the Doug also seeks out all the things that make young artists fall in love with making music in the first place: adventure\, youth novelty\, and a chance to snatch a bit of immortality. \n“It’s like reconnecting with a hero\,” says Son Volt founder Jay Farrar. “And getting back to the same kind of perspective I had when I was starting out as a younger musician. I think it’s just important to step back from what you normally do. Take stock. Take inspiration. And see where it leads from there.” \nJesse Farrar will be with Son Volt for this show.  Jesse Farrar is a bassist\, vocalist\, producer\, and songwriter for progressive bluegrass group Old Salt Union.

Their catalog pairs instrumental virtuosity with emotional storytelling\, an exploratory spirit\, and a deep connection to the American West.
