  • One of These Nights: The Songs of The Eagles

    July 26, 2026  3:00 pm - 7:00 pm

    https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1992395470486

    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!

    August 15, 2026  6:30 pm - 9:30 pm

    https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1992955098348

    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.

  • 3rd Friday Reggae w/ Mykal Rose and Psydecar

    August 21, 2026  6:00 pm - 9:30 pm

    Stay Positive Sound Presents Mykal Rose and Psydecar!
    DJ/Host by Stay Positive Sound.

    https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1993501676177

    About Mykal Rose:
    http://www.mykalrosereggae.com/

    For over 25 years, Michael Rose has been recording and performing his brand of militant, hardcore Jamaican music to the delight of reggae fans around the world. As a solo artist, with Black Uhuru, and back as a solo artist, the "Ruff" Rose has achieved great success throughout his career, even as different Jamaican musical styles have phased in and out of popularity.

    Perhaps the highest profile recognition came in 1984, when Michael Rose and the other Black Uhuru members (Duckie Simpson, Puma Jones, Sly Dunbar, and Robbie Shakespeare) won reggae's first Grammy award for the album, Anthem. But the story doesn't begin with Black Uhuru. In 1976, Michael Rose was already a seasoned performer, having honed his skills by performing on Jamaica's hotel circuit. When an early incarnation of Black Uhuru (Ducky Simpson and Errol Nelson) approached Michael to join the group, he already had several solo singles to his credit. These include the original "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" and "Clap the Barber," both recorded for producer Niney The Observer, and "Running Around" for Winston Campbell.

    About Psydecar:
    https://trevyjames.com/psydecar

    Psydecar is a San Diego-based reggae, soul, and groove band carrying forward more than three decades of original music. Founded by lead vocalist and drummer Tim Pacheco in 1996, the band performs today as a dual-fronted lineup with Pacheco and keyboardist Trevy James sharing vocal duties from behind their instruments. As one of the longest standing names in San Diego reggae, Psydecar brings a distinctive blend of musicianship, songwriting, and live performance to every stage.
