SUMMARY:Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers @ The Factory
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Williamsburg\, VA\, Hornsby first rose to national prominence with The Way It Is\, his 1986 Grammy-winning debut album with The Range. The title track became the most-played song on American radio in 1987 while Tupac Shakur’s timeless song “Changes” builds on “The Way It Is” and set the stage for many subsequent versions of the track. In 1991 Hornsby collaborated with Bonnie Raitt\, playing on her iconic hit “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Additionally\, Hornsby was a part-time member of the Grateful Dead from September 1990 to March 1992\, performing over 100 concerts in America and Europe. The 13-time Grammy nominee has also solidified his status as a highly sought-after collaborator. Hornsby’s own 23 albums have sold over 11 million copies worldwide\, and he has appeared on over 100 records including releases with Bob Dylan\, Don Henley\, the Grateful Dead\, Stevie Nicks\, Ricky Skaggs\, Bob Seger\, Chaka Khan\, Bon Iver\, Brandon Flowers\, Bonnie Raitt\, Sting\, Mavis Staples\, Willie Nelson and more.

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.”
