Founded in the late 60's by Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley, the offspring of American service personnel stationed in the UK, America rocketed to stardom in the early 70’s with its #1 hit, “Horse With No Name” and a Grammy award for “Best New Artist.” Seventeen gold, platinum and multi-platinum albums and a string of Top 10 hits followed, including “I Need You,” “Ventura Highway,” “Tin Man” and “Lonely People.” [ read more ]

Wednesday, June 28
ZOX

Tickets:
$15 in advance
$18 at the door

Formed by members attending Brown University several years ago, ZOX has been turning heads with their incendiary live shows and cult-inspiring recordings. The band has an uncanny ability to blend rock - from new wave to progressive - with ska, punk balladry, and a bit of baroque into something highly original. Their first album, Take Me Home, became an indie success story. It received national college radio play and was heralded by the press as one of the best independent albums of the year. [ read more ]

Sunday, July 2
Peter Frampton

Tickets:
$45 in advance
$50 at the door

Born in England, Frampton scored a handful of British teenybopper hits with the band, The Herd, and was named "The Face of 1968" by the UK press. By 1969, he formed Humble Pie and after five moderately successful albums went solo in 1971. After recording three albums and touring relentlessly the hard work finally paid off in 1976 with the astonishing success of Frampton Comes Alive!, a double live album featuring the smash hits, “Do You Feel Like We Do?,” “Baby I Love Your Way” and “Show Me The Way.” [ read more ]

Monday, July 3
Bo Bice

Tickets:
$30 in advance
$35 at the door

Bo Bice was born in Huntsville, Alabama in 1975 and raised in the south by his song-singing, instrument-playing parents. He was involved in the local music scene ever since high school, writing songs, recording, producing and playing in bands. In 2005, every personal and professional dream he kept alive throughout the years come true as he went from guitar-store manager to Fox’s American Idol finalist. According to ratings by Nielsen, FOX's “American Idol” was the most-watched show on television when Bice had his near-win. He lost to country singer Carrie Underwood by 134 votes. [ read more ]
