The Wallflowers will mark the 30th anniversary of their landmark album “Bringing Down the Horse” with a nationwide U.S. tour. The band will perform their classic album in its entirety, in sequence. Originally released on May 21, 1996, Bringing Down the Horse was a critical and commercial triumph. The album peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and was certified quadruple platinum, cementing the band’s place in ‘90s rock history.

Benjamin Tod, a Nashville native and the former leader of the Lost Dog Street Band, says of his latest project, “Most of my career has been laser-focused on poetic, piercing songwriting in mainly a folk tradition. I wanted to prove to myself and the industry that I could write an elite country record with ease. Either way, if I didn’t accomplish that goal, I sure as hell came closer than anyone on pop country radio.”

Few artists embody the heart and soul of their city like Trombone Shorty. Perhaps the most recognizable ambassador for New Orleans music working today, Shorty has spent his entire life not only carrying the torch for Crescent City culture, but also propelling it forward into the 21st century with his ecstatic live performances and intoxicating blend of rock, funk, soul, jazz, blues, hip-hop, and Caribbean influences.

Playing is the joy and satisfaction of touring, but it comes with the hard part—travel, the endless miles on a bus. There’s no dodging the wear and tear, and Little Feat has been playing for quite a while.

Over the last decade, Big Thief has proven themselves to be one of the most exciting live bands of their generation. Known for classics from their debut album “Masterpiece” like “Velvet Ring” and “Paul,” Big Thief stands out in the indie folk-rock scene with their emotionally-resonant lyrics and sound.
