SUMMARY:GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS: THE BADDEST SHOW ON EARTH with SPECIAL GUEST CANYON LIGHTS
DESCRIPTION:For the past 5+ decades\, over 8\,000 live shows and more than 15 million albums sold\, George Thorogood & The Destroyers have been “The All-American rock & roll party band” (Goldmine Magazine). And for their 53rd year of “playing rock & roll hot enough to melt the polar icecaps and flood the world’s major population centers” (Rolling Stone)\, the 2026 continuation of The Baddest Show On Earth Tour is a stage-shaking\, roof-raising\, guitar-snarling blast. “Could be the state of the world\,” says George. “Maybe it’s the healing power of rock & roll. But when we hit the stage on any given night\, I can guarantee that we’ll make you feel like a teenager again.” Then again\, George & The Destroyers have always delivered on their promises. In 1976\, they debuted as the most explosive indie breakthrough act of the decade. Throughout the ‘80s/’90s MTV era\, Thorogood was the epitome of snakeskin & shades guitar-slinger cool. And with chart-topping hits like ‘One Bourbon\, One Scotch\, One Beer’\, ‘Move It On Over’\, ‘Who Do You Love?’\, ‘I Drink Alone’\, ‘Get A Haircut’ and the ultimate badass anthem ‘Bad To The Bone’\, George & The Destroyers became cornerstones of Classic Rock while their album catalog continues to dominate streaming charts worldwide. And whether it’s been their landmark performances at Live Aid and on SNL or recent smash tours with John Fogerty\, ZZ Top and Sammy Hagar\, they remain among the most reliable/formidable concert acts on the planet. “Don’t let anyone tell you this gig won’t keep you energized\,” “Thorogood says. “I defy bands half our age to put on a show like we do night after night.” And in a career which has seen him recently receive such tributes as The B.B. King Award from The Montreal International Jazz Festival\, being made honorary members of The Bo Diddley Centennial Committee\, and being invited to perform at The Grand Ole Opry\, are there any milestones left for Thorogood to achieve in the next 50 years? “It’s crazy to think that we’ve spent the last half century performing music we love for audiences who love what we do\,” George says. “But when you’ve got the best job in the world\, you can’t ever rest on your laurels. We not only work hard to bring our best\, but to keep getting better. That’s the only mission. That’s rock & roll.” \nFronted by Tim Carman and Pat Faherty\, formerly of GA-20\, Canyon Lights are a blend of throwback rock n’ roll\, swampy Americana\, and heavy blues. Friends and bandmates since 2018\, Pat and Tim have racked up thousands of hours touring and performing on stages all over the world. Their love of blues music fueled their explosive performances with GA-20\, a three-time #1 Billboard charting blues band from Boston\, MA. In 2023\, Pat and Tim began connecting over their mutual love of 70s rock n’ roll bands like Mountain\, Thin Lizzy\, and James Gang. Inspired by this era\, Pat proposed the two work out some song ideas he had been playing with. At the same time\, Tim revealed to Pat some personal lyrics he had held onto for years. The songwriting connection was instant and unique. Pat and Tim realized that this was a new venture\, not strictly blues and not confined to any lane of creativity. The two flew to Denver in early 2024 to put these sounds on tape with friend Dylan Brown at the helm as engineer and co-producer. From this session\, Canyon Lights was born. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:ROBIN TROWER - US TOUR\, FALL 2026 with SPECIAL GUEST DAVID MAIDA 
DESCRIPTION:Even now\, as he reaches his eighth decade\, with a lifetime of accolades and a seminal body of music behind him\, Robin Trower is still chasing the biggest high he knows. It always starts the same way\, with a road-scuffed Fender Stratocaster and a revved-up Marshall amplifier\, those skillful fingers exploring the fretboard until a riff sticks and a new song ignites. Trower stands on the cusp of a whirlwind year that will see him put down heavy miles across America and the UK. At the grand vintage of 80\, however\, this latest tour represents a mere stretch of the long road travelled. In his mind’s eye\, Trower can still see his Southend-on-Sea childhood in the ’50s and feel the formative influence of guitar players from across the water. Trower’s earliest memory of that rebel movement is hearing Elvis sideman Scotty Moore. Next came a life-changing spin of a friend’s imported single\, which happened to be B.B. King’s 3 O’ Clock Blues. Albert King’s Crosscut Saw\, Jimi Hendrix’s Machine Gun\, James Brown’s Live At The Apollo: all of them informed Trower’s musical personality as he made his first moves in 1959 with R&B hopefuls The Paramounts. By 1974\, Trower was a major star in the land whose music had inspired him and was influencing future luminaries like Steve Lukather\, Metallica and countless more. Stick a pin in his catalogue over the past  decade alone and you’ll find projects from 2020’s United State Of Mind supergroup alongside Maxi Priest to the pairing with New York vocalist Sari Schorr on 2023’s Joyful Sky. \nDavid Maida is an accomplished music industry professional with over 30 years of experience booking\, branding and promoting countless major recording artists including some of the biggest names in music. \nBuy Now

She was hired by Michael Jackson for his “This Is It Tour” before his untimely death and was a member of the supergroup Hollywood Vampires (Cooper\, Joe Perry\, Johnny Depp and Tommy Henriksen).
