Enjoy the unmistakable sounds of this virtuoso quintet as they take to the road once more to share their engaging live show, bringing you a wonderfully lively evening that sees the group take on everything to big brass standards, jazz, baroque, ragtime and pop.

It's now been over 20 years since Rob Garza and Eric Hilton first met, and their band Thievery Corporation is now recognized as one of the most experimental and reliably consistent acts in world music. They've have spent two decades creating boundary-pushing, intricate electronic music, inspired by Latin America's intricate rhythms and lush textures.
Trombone Shorty's 2013 'Say That to Say This' was, to the delight of many fans, a return to his New Orleans roots with a full-on funk record. Now continuing on the funk train, Shorty is backed by his band Orleans Avenue on tour, a collective of stunningly accomplished players. For lovers of music you can move to, this is a tour you will not want to miss!
The Avett Brothers are a non-traditional bluegrass band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. The two brothers, Seth and Scott, formed the group after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. Don't miss them live on the road this year as they bring their awesome sound to you!
In 2009, Billboard Magazine named Boney James the Jazz Musician of the Decade and the tremendously talented saxophonist certainly lives up to that moniker. While seen as a forerunner of the smooth jazz movement, Boney's style of playing combines pop and RnB and his style is often seen as grittier and more textured than the easy-listening genre.
