They add a unique dimension to their performance, demonstrating the common ties between '80s new wave and today’s popular music.In addition to a recently filmed national commercial for Comcast, The Spazmatics have been regularly featured at top nightclubs and perform for many of the highest level private events in the United States, including a recent performance at The White House for President George W. Bush, as well as for celebrity Jessica Simpson's recent birthday bash.

About Brodie Stewart:
https://www.facebook.com/BrodieStewartBand

Brodie Stewart grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento and spent his summers in Red Bluff, California. At a young age his favorite things to do were going to the Rodeo, listening to country music, singing and playing guitar. Soon enough, Brodie formed and fronted a southern rock band and had the good fortune of touring the country opening up for big artists in front of sold out arenas. His band even charted on Billboard. With his southern rock roots, Brodie returned to what he loved the most, "country music". While writing songs for his own album, Brodie also wrote and produced songs for various other artists such as "Sweet Isabel" recorded by Enrique Iglesias for his (Interscope Records) Release entitled "Insomniac". Shortly after placing Sweet Isabel with Enrique, Martin Kierszenbaum (President of Cherrytree/Interscope Records) signed Brodie to a song/production deal to the label. Quickly following, Brodie signed a publishing deal with (Warner Chappell Music Publishing). Since that time Brodie has written and produced several tracks for various artists.

Currently 100% of Brodie's attention is on his country music endeavor. On his debut album "Born American", Brodie teamed up with guitarist/producer/ songwriter "Adam Shoenfeld" (Jason Aldean, Tim Mcgraw, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Jake Owen, Big and Rich, Florida Georgia Line and many more..) to co-produce and play on the album along with several  top players,including working with one great engineer "Aaron Chmielewski" in Nashville. In addition to gearing up promotion for his "Debut Album" - Brodie's "high octane show" has been touring the Western States. When asked about his "Debut Album" Brodie states, "I've found my place in Country Music where my heart has always been. The great lyrics, honesty, passion and one kick *** party is what It's all about!"

The Jeff Watson Band opens the show!

About CCsegeR - Tribute to Bob Seger and CCR:
https://www.ccseger.com/

This 6-piece band (formerly known as "Night Moves/Creedence Classic Revival") gives a high-energy live performance of two amazing tribute bands in one. We take audiences on a ride through the rock and roll classics of Seger and CCR that drives crowds of all ages to the dance floor.

CCsegeR brings a signature richness and power to the music that Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band have been making for over four decades. The Seger signature sound represents the honest and best of what rock and roll can be. One of Michigan’s finest, Seger soaked up the muscular rock and roll and seductive soul for which Detroit remains famous and defines a musical voice for the American heartland. CCsegeR brings it all to the stage in an explosive live show that reminds us that rock-n-roll never forgets.

There isn’t any music more classic or Americana than that of San Francisco’s own Creedence Clearwater Revival. Cranking out hit after hit, their southern rock style sensibility made them possibly the most popular band in America with chart topping success and CCR’s music is still a staple of US radio today. CCsegeR captures the sound and recreates what the music was all about leaving you dancing and singing along to every song.

About One of These Nights - The Songs of The Eagles:
https://www.eaglescoverband.com/

The time… the early ’70s.
The place… a dark desert highway.
The setting… the famous Hotel California which according to the legend is the place “you can never leave.”

Of course, you will never want to leave as the familiar chart-topping music of The Eagles: Henley, Frey, Schmit and Walsh fills the room with the songs loved by generations for more than 40 years.
Inside the Hotel California you will find the Tequila Sunrise Ballroom where a six piece band performs to perfection. The Eagles greatest hits such as, “Take It Easy” to “Get Over it.” The male vocalist will “Take You To The Limit,” with his dynamic version of “Witchy Woman” and “Heartache Tonight.”

With five number one singles and four number one albums, The Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970’s. At the end of the 20th Century, two of those albums, “Eagles: Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)” and “Hotel California,” ranked among the ten best-selling albums ever, according to the certifications of the Record Industry Association of America.

Though most of its members came from outside of California, the group was closely identified with a country- and folk–tinged sound that initially found favor in and around Los Angeles in the late '60s, as played by bands such as, ‘The Flying Burito Brothers’ and ‘Poco’, which both contributed members to ‘The Eagles.’ The band also drew upon traditional rock n’ roll styles and in their later work helped defined the broadly popular rock sound, eventually referred to as Classic Rock.  This helped The Eagles to achieve a perennial appeal among the generations of music fans who continued to buy their records many years after they had split up, which inspired the reunion they mounted in the mid-'90s. The Eagles were inducted into the Hall of Fame in January 1983.

The Eagles released their first album in 28 years in October 2007 and the new touring schedule to promote this album is guaranteed to spark a resurgence in The Eagles music.

Sit Back, close your eyes and feel the years drop away as you experience a musical journey that will transport you to the very best of times!
