Graham Nash

OCTOBER 9 | 8:00 PM

$48 | $58 | $68 | $88

Graham Nash is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, with Crosby, Stills & Nash, and with The Hollies. He was also inducted twice into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame, as a solo artist and with CSN, and he is a GRAMMY Award winner.

Towering above virtually everything that Nash has accomplished in his multi-faceted career stands the litany of songs that he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of the past half-century. His remarkable body of work, beginning with his contributions to The Hollies opus, including “On a Carousel” and “Carrie Anne,” continues all the way to Now (2023), his most recent solo album.

The original classic union of Crosby, Stills & Nash (and Young) lasted but 20 months. Yet their songs are lightning rods embedded in our DNA, starting with Nash’s “Marrakesh Express” and “Lady of the Island” from the first Crosby, Stills & Nash LP (1969) and “Teach Your Children” and “Our House” on CSNY’s Déjà Vu (1970).

Joined by Todd Caldwell (keyboards), Adam Minkoff (bass, drums, guitar, and vocals), and Zack Djanikian (guitar, bass, drums, and vocals), Nash will take the audience on a musical journey that encompasses his six decades of contributions to contemporary music and his years with The Hollies, CSN, and CSNY.

VOYAGE: Celebrating the Music of Journey

OCTOBER 10 | 7:30 PM

$35 | $39 | $43 | $53

VOYAGE is the world’s premier Journey tribute band, celebrated for their uncanny ability to recreate the legendary sound, energy, and passion of one of rock’s greatest bands. The band’s attention to detail is unrivaled: blistering guitar solos, lush keyboard arrangements, electrifying stage presence, and stunning harmonies, VOYAGE has earned a reputation as the ultimate homage to Journey’s timeless music.

Fronted by vocalist Pedro Espada, whose range and tone rival the iconic Steve Perry, and backed by a lineup of world-class musicians, Robby Hoffman, Greg Smith, Lance Millard, and Dana Spellman, they bring every note to life with precision and heart. VOYAGE doesn’t just perform Journey’s greatest hits—they transport audiences back to the height of arena rock glory. From the soaring ballads of “Faithfully” and “Open Arms” to the anthem energy of “Don’t Stop Believin’” and “Separate Ways,” every performance is a journey through the soundtrack of a generation.

$49 | $59 | $69 | $79

The My Generation Tour stars the bands whose sounds swept across the airwaves at homes, in our rooms, and on the beach with our transistor radios. The music drove us into record stores to grasp the singles we loved and play them until the grooves wore out. Between The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Hollies, and Gary Lewis & The Playboys, the charts exploded every week with a new tune that captivated our rock and roll souls.

Nearly 30 hits will explode throughout this two-hour celebration: “Daydream,” “Do You Believe in Magic,” “This Diamond Ring,” “Carrie Anne,” “Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress), “Count Me In,” “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother,” “Summer in the City,” “She’s Just My Style,” “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice,” “On a Carousel,” “Sure Gonna Miss Her,” and “The Air that I Breathe.”
