- **Event Description**: What happens when you put three of modern Rock’s most-played frontmen under the same spotlight at the same time? Ezra Ray Hart is what happens! The trio unites MULTI-PLATINUM icons Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra, and Emerson Hart of Tonic under one banner. Since emerging in 2018, the supergroup has performed to sold-out audiences on special occasions and during sought-after major festivals, packing houses coast-to-coast in the process and inciting sing-alongs loud enough to light up the phones at MTV’s TRL all over again. Boasting 18 Top 10 singles and five #1 hits between them, the all-stars’ cumulative sales exceed 20 MILLION albums in the United States alone and BILLIONS of streams worldwide. McGrath not only stands out as a magnetic frontman, but also as a pop culture force of nature and household name personality. His catalog houses definitive bangers such as “Fly,” “When It’s Over,” “Every Morning,” and more. Griffin, of course, leads Better Than Ezra as its vocalist and guitarist responsible for an arsenal of anthems spanning “Good,” “A Lifetime,” “Desperately Wanting,” and more. Not to mention, he’s penned tunes for Train, Sugarland, and Howie Day in addition to founding and curating Pilgrimage Musical & Cultural Festival. Fronting multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated Tonic, Hart’s discography includes “Open Up Your Eyes,” “You Wanted More,” and “If You Could Only See.” Now, Ezra Ray Hart puts a bow on 2025 by hitting the road on the first-ever NEVER ENDING ‘90s PRESENTS: EZRA RAY HART 90s HITS & XMAS RIFFS, culling the setlist from their respective hits and the greater holiday music canon. However, the group will be spreading cheer and smiles for a long time to come with more surprises on the horizon.
