Dawes at The Heights Theater

Dawes

Through a tapestry of warm vocals and sun-soaked guitar hooks, Dawes have made a name for themselves for replicating the feel of the Lauren Canyon sound of the 70's. But far from being a copy, the quartet are something retro inspired, but with a chilled vibe straight out of the present. Enjoy some authentically vintage beats by Dawes in 2024!

Ben Folds at Jones Hall for the Performing Arts

Ben Folds

The frontman of his self-named band, rock artist and producer Ben Folds continues to work with some of the most eclectic names in music and entertainment (remember his Common People cover that featured William Shatner and Bill Clinton?), as well as pushing the envelope on alt-rock ever further. A self-confessed enigma, he prefers to stay out of the limelight except when touring, but can easily claim credit for some of music's most unlikely trends.

The Story So Far at Bayou Music Center

The Story So Far

California-based rock band The Story So Far prepares for a county-wide tour! The band has been the face of pop-punk ever since they first emerged on the scene in 2007 and released their debut 'Under Soil and Dirt' in 2011. Over a decade since their debut album, the band is touring with their infectious sound and their most recent tracks as well as fan favorites!

Dream Theater at 713 Music Hall

Dream Theater

Never a band to skimp on ambition, Dream Theater has announced their massive North American tour in celebration of their 40th anniversary. As always with this exceptional prog-rock band, these shows will be spectacular fusions of music, lighting, and stage design. Expect deep cuts, classic hits, fan favorites and brand newer anthems!

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album You're A Woman, I'm A Machine, Death From Above 1979 hit the road once more for a highly anticipated string of live shows!
