SUMMARY:Anthology-A Tribute to the Allman Brothers Band @ Chesterfield Amphitheater
DESCRIPTION:Tickets on sale Friday\, April 24 at 10 AM\nAnthology 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\, and Gregg Allman in particular.  Two of the members\, Danny Liston-vocals and Dickie Steltenpohl-bass\, played in a Midwest band Mama’s Pride signed to Atlantic Records by the legendary Ahmet Ertegun.  At one point in their career their paths crossed with Gregg Allman.  He was impressed with their understanding of the feel for his music that he asked them to be in his band.  So\, playing the music of the Allman Brothers had become part of their DNA.  Other members of the band are Tom Denman-keyboards\, Terry Midkiff-guitar\, Matt Rowland-guitars\, Rob Lee-drums\, Joe Meyer-drums.  It’s Allman Brothers the way they would play\, not note for note\, but played with the kind of passion that ABB music evokes. \nDoors open at 6:00 PM. Show starts at 7:00 PM. \nSeating Information \n$20 – Advanced* General Admission (Access to lawn) \n$25 – Advanced* Reserved Seating (Stadium Style Fixed Seating) \n$25 – Advanced* Reserved Pit Seating \n$25 – Day of Show General Admission (Access to lawn) \n$30 – Day of Show Reserved Seating (Stadium Style Fixed Seating) \n$30 – Day of Show Reserved Pit Seating \n$60 – 4 Pack GA (Sales end August 6 at 11:59 PM) (Access to lawn) \n*Advanced ticket sale prices end August 6 at 11:59 PM. \nThe venue will be general admission\, except for the green stadium style seating & pit seating in front of the stage which will be reserved for Reserved Seating ticket holders only.

SUMMARY:Lettuce Cook Tour @ Atomic
DESCRIPTION:CHARITY: A $1 charity fee is included in the ticket price.\nIf you would like to include language about the $1 fee\, please use the following: Atomic has partnered with the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Music Is A Language so that $1 from every ticket sold supports Lettuce’s mission to fund a transformative new scholarship for a deserving student to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music—where the roots of Lettuce first took hold\nLETTUCE is (a) the prime ingredient in a salad\, (b) a slang for cash\, (c) a green herb that can be smoked\, (d) a genre-busting six-member musical collective formed in 1992 by four alumni of the prestigious Berklee College Of Music\, or (e) all of the above.

SUMMARY:Andy Frasco & The U.N. and Kitchen Dwellers @ Atomic
DESCRIPTION:Atomic Block Party – this is a rain or shine event. \n$1 from every ticket sold benefits Backline\, a nonprofit providing mental health and wellness resources to music industry professionals and their families\, helping build a safer\, more supportive music community. \nANDY FRASCO & THE U.N.\nWith curly tufts of a recognizable ‘fro peeking out from his omnipresent knit cap\, Andy Frasco is a cross between John Belushi’s “Joliet” Jake Blues and Jimmy Buffett. He’s a band-fronting\, songwriting party animal who turns into a swirling rock ‘n’ roll Tasmanian Devil onstage leading his U.N.\, not unlike Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. From switching instruments mid-song to Frasco stagediving into the crowd or kibitzing with them\, an Andy Frasco & The U.N. show is a celebration of inclusivity and tolerance where “You do You” and “let us do us.”\n\nKITCHEN DWELLERS\nKitchen Dwellers continue to carve out their own lane in the world of progressive roots music\, blending bluegrass\, folk\, and psychedelic grit into a sound as expansive as their Montana home. The Bozeman-born quartet of Shawn Swain (mandolin)\, Torrin Daniels (banjo)\, Joe Funk (upright bass)\, and Max Davies (acoustic guitar) has grown from regional upstarts into one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking bands in modern string music. Their catalog pairs instrumental virtuosity with emotional storytelling\, an exploratory spirit\, and a deep connection to the American West.
