About Don't Push – A Tribute to Sublime:
https://dontpushofficial.com/

Formed in the musical heartbeat of Anaheim, CA, Don't Push arose in March of 2019 through the joint eorts of Brodii (guitar/vocals), Kenny (drums), and Dan (bass/vocals). Each member, practically inseparable in their artistry, have threaded their musical narratives together since their formative days in 1999. While the peculiar magic of musical experimentation led them through various projects, one harmonious constant prevailed; the soulful anthems of Sublime always found a home in their setlist. Don’t Push stands as a testament—a sincere tribute—to the monumental impact Sublime had on the world of music, and more personally, on Brodii, Kenny, and Dan themselves. With roots entwined in the halcyon high school days when "Sublime" echoed through the corridors, the trio embarked on a quest to recreate not just the sound, but the raw ethos of Sublime's Bradley Nowell, capturing the essence that once painted Sublime's illustrious sonic canvas.

The essence of Don't Push is beyond mimicking; they breathe life into an authentic Sublime experience that anchors on the same grounds—sound, sight, and spirit—so that fans old and new can immerse in a show that resonates with the intensity Sublime wielded live. It's more than music; it's a cultural curation for those who lived through Sublime's ascendancy and for those who've yet to plunge into the depths of their discography.

Since their breakout with the iconic self-titled album, through the discovery of their earlier work "40oz to Freedom" and "Robbin the Hood", Sublime’s discography has been etched into the very fabric of Don’t Push's identity. Sublime's alchemy of reggae, ska, punk, and hip-hop isn't just sonic layers for Don’t Push—it's a philosophical guide.
Bradley Nowell's genius—his ability to blend his myriad inuences and concoct something phenomenally fresh yet historically homage-paying—is what Don’t Push admires profoundly. In celebrating Sublime's work, Don’t Push also shines a light on the constellation of artists that orbited Sublime’s world; legends and luminaries from Tenor Saw to Bob Marley, from The Specials to Bad Brains.

To witness Don't Push on stage is to partake in a ritual of keeping Sublime's ame undimmed, honoring the narrative that Bradley Nowell scripted for his band. Don't Push extends this inheritance, paving the way for the newer generations to discover, cherish, and carry onwards the undeniable force that was—and thanks to tribute acts like Don't Push, continues to be—Sublime's music.

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!
