FIREFALL
Firefall is an American country rock band that formed in Boulder, Colorado, in 1974. Their radio hits include "You Are the Woman", "Just Remember I Love You", "Strange Way", "Cinderella", "Headed for a Fall", and "Staying with It".
50 years after their debut, founder Jock Bartley and the gang are still going strong, touring the world and bringing their music to the fans.
PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE
From their beginnings in mid-Sixties Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes to the present-day unit featuring the propulsive team of drummer Scott Thompson and bassist Jared Camic, Keyboard Master Randy Harper, Guitar Ace/vocalist Jeff Zona and Pedal Steel/Saxophonist John Heinrich, PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE continues to embellish the rich 50-plus year history of one of Country-Rock’s pioneering forces. As one reviewer recently wrote: “PPL’s sound combines sweet memories with edgy, contemporary muscle. Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight razor”.
Their eponymous first album - featuring the Norman Rockwell/Saturday Evening Post cover that introduced fans to PPL’s trademark cowpoke “Sad Luke” - has been hailed as a “major early influence in the emerging popularity of Country-Rock music”. Their second effort, the multi-platinum “Bustin’ Out” brought us the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”, along with other gems of the genre. With “Two Lane Highway”, nine more albums and countless shows, a legacy has been forged and enriched, highlighting contributions from several noteworthy members, including original co-founder George Ed Powell, Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (3 Top-20 singles), top Nashville session vocalist Curtis Wright and a host of other guest appearances from Chet Atkins, Johnny Gimble, EmmyLou Harris, David Sanborn, Eagle Don Felder, Nicolette Larson, Rosemary Butler, Jenifer Wrinkle, Jeff (Birdman) Kirk, Mat Britain and many more.
Now, with the release of their new album “Back On Track” PPL brings it all back home with a dozen new songs that complete the circle begun in 1970 and continues to this day.
PABLO CRUISE
Formed in 1973, Pablo Cruise released eight studio albums over a decade, during which time five singles reached the top 25 of the Billboard Hot 100. Known for their smooth blend of rock and pop, the band gained fame with hits like “Whatcha Gonna Do?” and “Love Will Find a Way,” selling millions of records worldwide. Their music, characterized by honest, down-to-earth lyrics and infectious grooves, has earned them a loyal following.
After a hiatus in the 1980s, the band reunited in 2005, with founding members David Jenkins (guitar, vocals) and Cory Lerios (keyboards, vocals) still at the helm. Now joined by Larry Antonino (bass, vocals), Robbie Wyckoff (vocals, percussion), and Sergio Gonzalez (drums, percussion), Pablo Cruise continues to captivate audiences with high-energy live performances across the U.S. and Canada.
Don’t miss the chance to experience their timeless sound—Pablo Cruise is as vibrant as ever!
