  • St. Paul & The Broken Bones Tour Stops in Central Park, The Cap, SPAC and more

    American Soul band St. Paul & The Broken Bones have announced their newest tour. The run of dates finds the southern octet playing SummerStage in Central Park, Port Chester’s Capitol Theatre, Saratoga Performing Arts Center and more.

    The upcoming performances celebrate St. Paul & The Broken Bones’ acclaimed album Angels In Science Fiction, out now on ATO Records. Produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, John Prine, Elvis Presley) and recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, Angels In Science Fiction was written in the span of a few weeks after bandleader Paul Janeway learned that his wife was pregnant with their daughter, Marigold. Following the examples set by greats like Aristotle, William James and John Steinbeck, Janeway penned the album as a series of letters to his then-unborn daughter.

    Founded in Birmingham, Alabama in 2011, St. Paul & The Broken Bones consists of Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone) and Amari Ansari (saxophone). The eight-piece ensemble burst into the world with their 2014 debutHalf the City, establishing a sound that quickly became a calling card and landing the band a slew of major festivals including Lollapalooza, Coachella and Glastonbury. Critical praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN and NPR followed, leading to shared stages with some of the world’s biggest artists—Elton John and The Rolling Stones among them—and launching an impressive run of headlining tours behind what Esquire touted as a “potent live show that knocks audiences on their ass.”

    The group has continued to expand their sound with every record, branching out well beyond old-school soul into sleek summertime funk and classic disco on albums like 2018’s Young Sick Camellia. Their latest LP, Angels In Science Fiction, stretches their limbs further afield, building on the shadowy psychedelia and intricate, experimental R&B of 2022’s The Alien Coast. The new record finds Janeway at his very best. With Angels In Science Fiction, St. Paul & The Broken Bones have crafted their most moving, comprehensive work—spanning their entire sonic and emotional scope.

  • Chance The Rapper to Celebrate 10-year Anniversary of Acid Rap at Barclays Center

    It’s been nearly a decade since Chance The Rapper released his transformative body of work, Acid Rap. In light of the momentous occasion, Chance will honor the project through a series of can’t-miss live events, pop-ups, merch drops, and special music releases. During a stop on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Chance officially announced two new Acid Rap concerts after the original Chicago performance quickly sold-out. The first of the new shows will be at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, on Saturday, August 26, with the second in Los Angeles, CA at the Kia Forum on September 21.

    Chance The Rapper announces Acid Rap anniversary tour.

    What Acid Rap Means to Hip Hop

    Acid Rap is a monumental body of work during hip-hop’ digital age. Much like his musical idol Kanye West the prior decade, Chance The Rapper broke the mold for popular music in the 2010’s with his lyrically proficicent, wide-ranging, psychedelic and idiosyncratic body of work. During a time where Chicago’s drill culture was at its peak, Chance The Rapper carried the torch for the social media era of “backpack” rappers. As such, Acid Rap has gained cult-status within the hip-hop community. Moreover, Chance’s independent status while releasing his best work became part of his appeal for anti-establishment fans during hip hop’s do it yourself era. His stardom and reach as an independent act was inspiration for many, showcasing that great music does not need corporate entities to flourish.

    Produced by Live Nation, these performances will be Chance’s re-emergence into the realm of popular culture. The “No Problem” rapper has been on a musical hiatus since his only studio album, The Big Day, was released in 2019. In light, 2023 is an exciting year for Chance as he prepares to release his next body of work, Star Line Gallery. Chance’s latest project will intertwine the worlds of art, music, and cinematography through a series of interdisciplinary works in collaboration with artists from the continent and Diaspora.

    Tickets and VIP packages for the Acid Rap anniversary shows are available at livenation.com.

  • Jethro Tull “The Seven Decades” National Tour To Close With 3 Nights In New York State

    Legendary rock band Jethro Tull has announced their newest venture, “The Seven Decades” tour, which will close with dates at NYC’s Beacon Theatre, Port Chester’s Capitol Theatre, and finally, Albany’s Palace Theatre.

    Jethro Tull

    Led by Ian Anderson, the concert will feature a rich collection of the best-known Jethro Tull from 1968 to date. Fans will recognize the key songs from the band’s rich heritage.

    Jethro Tull’s 23rd studio album, “RökFlöte” is now out on all streaming media and in stores via Inside Out Music. Following 2022’s “The Zealot Gene,” the group’s first LP in two decades, Anderson and his bandmates’ new 12-track record is based on the characters and roles of some of the principal gods of old Norse mythology, and exploring the “RökFlöte” — rock flute — which Jethro Tull made iconic.

    With more than 30 albums to their credit and sales totaling more than 60 million, Jethro Tull are one of the most successful rock bands of all-time with a catalog that contains classics that still resonate today.

  • Aerosmith Announce Farewell Tour, Stops at UBS Arena, Keybank Center, and MSG

    Four-time Grammy award-winning and diamond-certified rock band Aerosmith announced the PEACE OUT! Farewell Tour, stopping at various New York cities, including Belmont Park, Buffalo, and New York City.

    Aerosmith

    For the last 50 years, rock legends Aerosmith have toured extensively and have sold 150 million records worldwide. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have produced genre-defining music videos such as “Amazing,” “Crazy,” “Janie’s Got A Gun,” “Livin’ On The Edge,” and “Love In An Elevator,” as well as becoming the first rock band with a massive commercially successful hip-hop collaboration with Run DMC on “Walk This Way,” and the first hard rock band to appear during a Super Bowl Halftime Show with their 2001 performance.

    In a joint statement, Aerosmith shared, “It’s not goodbye it’s PEACE OUT! Get ready and walk this way, you’re going to get the best show of our lives.” Along with the tour announcement, the band shared that drummer Joey Kramer will not be joining the group for the final run, saying “While Joey Kramer remains a beloved founding member of Aerosmith, he has regrettably made the decision to sit out the currently scheduled touring dates to focus his full attention on his family and health. Joey’s unmistakable and legendary presence behind the drum kit will be sorely missed.” 

    The special guest for the tour is The Black Crowes, a rock group that has gone through their fair share since changing how journalists felt about hard rock with their record Shake Your Money Maker. In 1990 they topped Rolling Stone’s “Best New American Band Readers Poll,” going on to release eight studio and four live albums, selling in the tens of millions along the way, and sold out tours around the world. In addition, the band had legendary guitarist Jimmy Page join as a member, got kicked off a tour with ZZ Top for insulting the sponsor, got screwed by bad record deals, and more.

    The monumental 40-date farewell tour includes stops at UBS Arena in Belmont Park on Saturday, Sept. 9, KeyBank Center in Buffalo on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2024, and Madison Square Garden on Friday, Jan. 19, 2024. The band will be collaborating with THX, bringing their Certified Live! high-fidelity experience on the road, calibrating each arena with leading-edge audio technology. VIP ticketing options are available, including a premium reserved ticket, a personal photo opportunity with band members, limited edition merchandise, and more. General on-sale begins on Friday, May 5 at 10 AM, for more information and to buy tickets, go here.
