BIG UNEXPECTED NEWS! A once in a Renaissance lifetime event!!

Message From Annie Haslam – “This is where the BIG news started, in Edwardsville, Illinois originally last October and the last two shows on our In Gratitude Farewell tour. Memorable shows, lovely enthusiastic audience and beautiful intimate theater – The Wildey! Then, moving forward to August 2025, I was approached by an Edwardsville/St Louis promoter to return to the Wildey Theatre for a ‘one woman” show! After many phone calls, it was decided to go ahead but with some music added… and then it just grew a lot bigger from there, that now included Renaissance. These will be once in a lifetime shows, presenting a format I would never have dreamed up myself. Kudos to the promoter who talked me into this. It brought me together again with my old friend and founder of Renaissance as well as the The Yardbirds, Jim McCarty to partner up to discuss the history of Renaissance. It will be followed by Jim along with Renaissance (including me) performing several of his songs, then Renaissance will take the stage. An evening of the best Symphonic Rock music ever, no doubt we really have come full circle!”

There will be two shows at the Wildey Theater, Edwardsville, Illinois, on November 21st and 22nd.

Wishbone Ash @ Wildey Theatre
2025-11-23 19:30 | Wildey Theatre, 252 N. Main St., Edwardsville, IL, 62025, United States
Half a century spent touring while continually releasing live and studio albums, Wishbone Ash is now gearing up for their “Wishlist Tour” featuring Argus, an evening of requests gathered from their fans on social media.
“I love the interactive element of this,” says Andy Powell, founding guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. “We have so many chapters, lineups and flavors in our music. There’re more than 500 songs, and we continue to write new ones. It is fun to let the fans decide.”
“In some ways our career is like a smaller but global version of the Grateful Dead’s, where radio was not the primary path where people discovered our music. Many of our fans came on board through word of mouth and exposure to our fan community. With such a long and varied history, fans have followed us closely through certain eras during which they might have come of age musically speaking. They’ll have their favorite songs that they’ll ask us to play. So, we decided to give them the show they want!”
Continual touring has kept the band in top shape, and kept fans engaged to share their concert experiences with their friends, which continues to bring more fans, even through the pandemic period.

The St. Louis area-based ensemble known as Al Holliday & The East Side Rhythm Band has begun their journey with a prolific decade, working all along the way to articulate a message, interpretation and reflection of American humanity and music; into an earth-shaking vision that stands tall – with roots that run deep – from Early R&B and Soul, through Americana and songwriting tradition, always inspired and always with a feeling, telling a heartfelt perspective in music, often examining the experiences, trials and tribulations, we can only describe altogether as: uniquely American.
The band has earned its reputation amongst their storied region’s premier original performing and recording acts, weaving together the very fabrics on American music into a potent, useable, relevant form that is as authentic as it is funky, all from the vantage point of a true, overlooked home of the Blues, Soul, and original “Rock & Roll” on the Mississippi River, bringing along our specifically Midwest swing, intensity, and “low-down” piano sound.

Rum Drum Ramblers @ The Focal Point
2025-11-30 19:00 | Focal Point, 2720 Sutton Blvd, Maplewood, MO, 63143., United States
For over a decade, Rum Drum Ramblers have bridged the gap between pre-war string band country blues and post-war city blues, with a blend of deep-welled influences, instrumental prowess, and raw feeling. Mat Wilson (guitar, vocals), Ryan Koenig (harmonica, washboard, mandolin, fiddle, vocals), and Joey Glynn (upright bass) have recorded two studio albums and have become one of St. Louis’ most celebrated roots outfits through their dynamic, feel-good live performances.
Since forming in 2006, the Rum Drum Ramblers have been honing their original St Louis string band blues in barrooms, clubs, street corners, listening rooms and festivals. Powerful dual lead vocals by Mat Wilson and Ryan Koenig and the ever-stylish slap bass of Joey Glynn weave through a tapestry of syncopated resonator guitar, screaming harmonica, mandolin, fiddle, bones and washboard. This trio of multi-instrumentalists have a refreshing groove that swings at a perfectly danceable pace.
The Rum Drum Ramblers have netted local awards such as “Best Blues Band” and “Best Blues Album” over the years. One of the final protégés of Henry Townsend, guitarist Mat Wilson is a living link to the origins of St. Louis blues. Their road-warrior chops shine through in their playing, and their songwriting glistens with the depth of experience. Their music is both timeless and exciting, and the band plays with sincerity and respect to the original blues forebearers.

Spafford @ Old Rockhouse
2025-12-04 20:00 | Old Rock House, 1200 S 7th St, St Louis, Missouri, 63104, United States
On New Year’s Eve in 2009, guitarist Brian Moss and bassist Jordan Fairless joined up to play a show in their home state of Arizona and ring in a new decade. Moss and Fairless had been playing the same open mic nights and after their first successful joint effort decided to team up and officially form a band: Spafford. After playing shows in their home state, the pair found themselves on the hunt for a new partner to help them round out their group. They found keyboard player Red Johnson, and on the following New Year’s Eve asked him to voyage out to Las Vegas. Johnson agreed, and has been with the band ever since. Now, with drummer Cameron Laforest, the band brings their vibrant, dynamic music to the world at large and pushes the boundaries of what a jam band can be.
Spafford is known for their astonishing improvisational ability, which they’ll use to play live off the cuff extended jams. Each song is a blank canvas, and Spafford paints a picture in real time each night with a musical palette known only to each other. It’s a private language comprised of their talent as musicians, and of their formidable catalog of influences – ranging from Steely Dan, to electronic acts like The Crystal Method, to 90’s alt rock radio hits. Every show is a sonic pilgrimage – the journey of a team of musicians so in tune with each other that a single note communicates intent and purpose.

Jontavious 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.
Jontavious 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.

Jake's Leg Annual Holiday Acoustic Show @ The Focal Point
2025-12-20 20:00 | Focal Point, 2720 Sutton Blvd, Maplewood, MO, 63143., United States
Spanning the generations, Jake’s Leg has been performing the music of The Grateful Dead for nearly 50 years.
Started as a duo by guitarists and vocalists Randy Furrer and Tim Fahy in 1976, lead guitarist Dave Casper soon joined the fold. Players were added and the music grew; friends came and went. Some of them had 10-year-or-longer stints with Jake’s Leg, which is a long career for most non-touring rock bands. Bassist Joe Trunko came on board in 1990, followed in 1991 by keyboardist Bill Noltkamper, completing the core four that have been playing and singing together for over 34 years. Ryan Wilhite, after a short stint as percussionist, took over the drum kit in 2005. The band and their audience have an on-going dialogue based in their mutual love of the music. If you’re a fan of the songs of The Grateful Dead, do yourself a favor and see Jake’s Leg. Your friends will be there, and the music never stops.
This will be an acoustic performance exploring the folkier roots of the Grateful Dead. The show will likely not be the perfectly silent listening room experience the Focal Point is known for; however, the Focal Point promises that it will be great fun for all. Dancing recommended but not required. There will be LIMITED SEATING. The Focal Point plans to leave plenty of the dance floor open. To ensure seat procurement, please arrive a little bit before the 7:30 doors open as seats will be first come, first served.

This is a band comprised of seasoned musicians who have a passion for the legacy of the Allman Brothers, but what sets this ensemble apart from any others is their personal connection to the Allman Brothers – Gregg Allman in particular. Two of the Anthology band members (vocalist Danny Liston and bassist Dickie Steltenpohl) played in the band Mama’s Pride, who were signed to Atlantic Records by the legendary Ahmet Ertegun. At one point in their career, they crossed paths with Gregg Allman. He was so impressed with their understanding of the feel for his music, that he asked them to be his band. So, playing the music of the Allman Brothers became part of their DNA.
Other members of the band include Tom Denman – keyboards, Terry Midkiff – guitar, (who also plays with Amanda Fish), Matt Rowland on guitar (who also plays with the Catapults), Rob Lee – drums (Rob toured for years with Mike Zito and is a Nashville session player), and Joe Meyer drums (who formerly toured with Nikki Hill)
It’s Allman Brothers the way they would play it; not note for note, but with the kind of passion that ABB music evokes.

Talk about having one helluva a year! Singer-songwriter Mattie Schell has certainly had one—touring with the Allman Betts band, playing at the annual MerleFest among other marquee venues, signing with Nashville-based Compass Records and releasing a promising new album.
A native of St. Louis with a vocal style reminiscent of the late Janis Joplin, Schell combines the heartfelt honesty of Americana with the raw power of soul—creating a sound that is both fresh and rooted in tradition. She began her professional career in 2014 as a member of River Kittens, a promising St. Louis-based duo celebrated for its harmonies, heartfelt lyrics and raw energy. Schell and her then-Kittens partner Allie Vogler are together again for this show.
Schell spent the summer touring with Jackson Stokes after performing much of the year with the Allman Betts Family Reunion, the Southern rock collective led by Allman and Duane Betts. As she forges ahead, with support from Compass—which also represents artists such as Leftover Salmon, past guest John McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, A.J. Croce, Colin Hay, Molly Tuttle, Robbie Fulks and others—Schell is focused on enjoying the ride and making sure her fans know that she loves what she’s doing.
