Russian rock, born under strict Soviet censorship and total prohibitions, and surviving during the transformative time of perestroika in the late 80s and early 90s, is unimaginable without the band DDT. It has always occupied a special niche in Russian rock and music as a whole. Through the songs of Yuri Shevchuk and the vibrant performances of his band, one can study the history of modern Russia with its sharp, unpredictable turns. DDT's songs are not just music; they are a chronicle of contemporary times, the history and soul of the country. The band's musical language has changed dramatically over the years, ranging from rhythm and blues to jazz, industrial, and indie music. Acute social issues are expressed in notes of philosophical lyrics.

After 50 years and more than 50 million records sold, Jim Croce’s legacy as an iconic singer/ songwriter is firmly cemented. A.J. Croce, a Billboard charting singer, songwriter, multiinstrumentalist, and performer, is once again bringing Jim’s classic songs to the stage — and introducing his own new music along the way. After 10 studio albums and 30 years of touring the world establishing his own career, in the early 2000’s, A.J. taught himself guitar and several of his father’s (Jim’s) classics. The fan response from dropping in a song or two like “Operator” in his own show was astounding and deeply emotional. He then debuted a concert that celebrated the legacy of his father’s songs, stories and music; as well as his own. The show featured two generations of Croce music and many songs by other artists which connect father and son as performers. Throughout the past seven years, A.J.’s “Croce Plays Croce” tour has sold out performing arts centers across America. In 2022, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Jim’s breakthrough album, You Don’t Mess Around With Jim, A.J. honored the memory of his father with a fall tour featuring a seven piece ensemble and a multimedia production.

Black Label Society builds their music on this simple truth, truth as self-evident on Back in Black as on the dozen songs comprising Doom Crew Inc., the eleventh album from the dependable stalwarts. Doom Crew Inc. is both a tribute to the band’s “first to bleed, last to leave” road crew and a salute to the legion whose support, stretching back to 1998, rivals that of the KISS Army. The Black Label Society biker-style battle vest “kutte” is as ubiquitous at hard rock and metal shows as a black t-shirt.

Helloween 40th Anniversary North American Tour 2026

In 2022, Luka Šulić stepped back from the intense touring schedule of 2Cellos to make space for creativity and to focus on family life - he has recently welcomed his fourth child. For the new album LIFE, released on Platoon on 22 March, Luka returned to his compositional roots to create music with an evocative sound world, enriched with luscious harmonies, soaring strings, and a cello line of transcendent beauty.

Luka’s musical foundation was built upon original composition and an innate skill in instrumental arrangements - this album is his debut as a composer and arranger. From a young age, he began developing works for solo cello, and he has always been drawn to the rich, expressive sound world of a string orchestra - a sound able to take the listener to greater emotional depths. The tracks on this album are from ideas that have been gradually forming for many years, and given space to nurture, they have evolved into Luka’s musical depiction of LIFE.
