Bad Co Legacy with Special Guest: Royal Bliss
For seven years Robert Hart was the lead singer of Bad Co in its classic rock era. He has also played many years with The Jones Gang with Kenny Jones of The Faces. and currently with Manfred Mann’s Earthband. Dave ‘Bucket’ Colwell, guitarist, spent 12 years in Bad Co, was a member of Humble Pie for several years recording, co-writing and producing the album Back on Track, The Jones Gang, ASAP and many other bands. During 1992, Hart was approached by Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke and asked if he would like to join them as the third lead vocalist for Bad Company, following Paul Rodgers and Brian Howe. Hart performed with Bad Company, touring the world including the US and Canada. In July 1994 a contract was drawn up by Alliance Artists and Legend Management and signed by the then Bad Company line up, Mick Ralphs, Simon Kirke, Robert Hart, Dave “Bucket” Colwell and Rick Wills. In 1995 a self-produced Bad Company album was released, Company of Strangers, with Hart who bore a vocal similarity to Paul Rodgers. It contained four tracks self-penned or co-written by Hart. The band made a promotional tour of the US with Bon Jovi. In 1996 another Bad Co album, Stories Told and Untold featured Hart and contained seven new compositions and seven acoustic versions including ‘Can’t Get Enough’ and ‘Ready For Love’. Hart was also lead vocalist on three live albums between 1994 and 2001. In March 2020 he was on tour in Germany with “Rock meets Classic” featuring Alice Cooper. During the Brian Howe period the album, Holy Water, was released. The album was enormously successful both critically and commercially, attaining Top 40 and platinum status by selling more than one million copies. Holy Water was the band’s first album on the Atlantic subsidiary Atco. The album spun off the singles: “If You Needed Somebody” the title track “Holy Water” and “Walk Through Fire”. “Holy Water” also hit No. 1 for 2 weeks on the AOR charts with “If You Needed Somebody” reaching No. 2. In 1990 Dave “Bucket” Colwell joined Bad Co as guitarist at the request of Mick Ralphs who sat out for most of the Holy Water tour. Their subsequent tour, supported by Damn Yankees, was one of the top five grossing tours of 1991. As well as touring for over a decade, Colwell recorded Here Comes Trouble, What You Hear is What You Get, Company of Strangers and Stories Told and Untold, co-writing the last two. He then went on to record Merchants of Cool with Paul Rodgers in 2002. Hart and Colwell are joined by Chris Childs, exThunder and Tyketto and John Lingwood, Manfred Mann’s Earthband and Roger Chapman, on drums. Fans can expect many of the classic songs spanning Bad Company’s repertoire; ‘Ready for Love’, ‘Can’t get Enough’, ‘Rock and Roll Fantasy’, the list goes on. It promises to be a night to remember!

Andrew Dice Clay & Jon Lovitz
Quite simply, Andrew Dice Clay is a rock and roll comedy legend and proud to be one of America’s most outrageous comics. When he released his debut album, Dice, the parental advisory label simply read “Warning: This album is offensive.” Despite media backlash, Dice’s rise to fame was nothing less than meteoric, creating “Dicemania.” He’s sold-out hundreds of arenas across the country, famously sold-out Madison Square Garden (MSG) two nights in a row in 1990 and was the only performer ever “Banned for Life from MTV” (a ban which has since been lifted). Dice has released numerous gold and platinum-selling albums including the Rick Rubin-produced The Day The Laughter Died (among the five releases Rubin produced for Dice); best-selling DVDs (Dice Rules!); and starred in several one-hour HBO, pay per view, and Showtime stand-up specials including No Apologies, The Diceman Cometh, and Indestructible. In recent years, Dice’s career has experienced a resurgence including his recurring role on the final season ofEntourage (2011). He starred to great critical acclaim alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine (2013); in Martin Scorsese’s Vinyl (2016); in the award winning, blockbuster hit, A Star Is Born (2018) alongside Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga; and in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy (2022). His other notable TV credits include two seasons (2016-2017) of his Showtime series, called Dice, very loosely based on his own life. Dice is currently on the road receiving rave reviews with his stand-out shows. Recent highlights include a notable set between Chrissie Hynde and Guns N’ Roses at MetLife Stadium in August 2023 – a performance harkened back to ‘92 when Dice shared the stage with GNR at the Rose Bowl and performed in front of the largest audience ever by a comedian at that time. Dice recently wrapped his role in the upcoming Eddie Murphy heist comedy The Pickup, also featuring Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer. Currently, Dice’s “on the street” videos on Instagram and TikTok have resulted in him being hailed as a contemporary cultural phenomenon tackling the modern zeitgeist. HAPPY HOUR STARTS AT 5:30pm
Stryper with Special Guest: Vixen
After four decades of producing, recording and performing high-caliber music, prolific rock foursome Stryper continues to relentlessly show itself as a renewed force with unquenchable firepower. In addition to kicking off an ambitious 40th anniversary tour in fall of 2024, the group releases its 16th studio project, the triumphant When We Were Kings (Frontiers Music Srl), on September 13, 2024. The 11-track project fortifies Stryper’s signature sonic output by showcasing tight harmonies, riff-infused instrumentation and impassioned vocals. Among the album’s most spiritually straightforward songs, hard-charging track “Trinity” speaks to the mysterious unity of the Father, Son and Spirit, while thundering tune “End of Days” addresses the last days prior to the apocalypse. Elsewhere, guitars loom large and a captivating chorus encompasses the title track focused on the futility of dwelling on thepast. Further song themes run the gamut from overcoming bitterness and showing mercy (“Unforgiveable”) to finding common ground in relationships (“Divided by Design”) and dealing with deceit and unfaithfulness (“Betrayed by Love”). Stryper also has made solid progress on a much-anticipated Kickstarter-fueled documentary film. More than 1,700 backers helped the band far exceed its original funding goal, earning a “Projects We Love” tag on the popular crowdfunding platform. When it comes to groundbreaking bands in the Christian hard-rock genre, Stryper is renowned for its trademark style of “heavenly metal,” remarkable crossover success and venerable endurance. The group ascended to prominence in the 1980s with Billboard Top40 hits like “Calling on You,” “Honestly” and “Always There for You.” Stryper’s career album sales exceed 10 million worldwide, including 1986’s standard bearing multiplatinum release To Hell with the Devil. The band also made history when it notched two songs simultaneously in MTV’s Top 10 with videos “Free” and “Honestly.” Today, over 40 years after emerging from the southern California nightclub scene, Stryper continues to record, tour and perform for devoted fans around the globe. Comprising three original members including brothers Michael Sweet (lead vocals, guitar) and Robert Sweet (drums), Oz Fox (guitar) and newest bandmate, veteran bassist Perry Richardson (formerly of Firehouse), the group finds itself continuing to create their finest, most commanding music yet.

The Oak Ridge Boys
Every generation has its stars. A select few of them remain stars for generations. Those rare figures come to us from all fields of endeavor – Willie Mays from baseball, for instance. Humphrey Bogart from the movies. And, from popular music, The Oak Ridge Boys. Just as Willie Mays was much more than his immortal over-the-shoulder catch in the 1954 World Series, and Casablanca was far from the only great Humphrey Bogart movie, The Oak Ridge Boys are more than the unforgettable strains of 1981’s “Elvira” oom-poppa-mau-mau-ing its way through our collective consciousness. Fifty years after these legendary performers first stepped onstage together in the summer of 1973, this now-legendary quartet, made up of Duane Allen, Richard Sterban, and William Lee Golden, continues to pack in the crowds and bring down the house. For the entirety of that amazing half-century, the Oaks have been weaving their colorful threads into the tapestry of America’s popular music. As is the case with Mays, a look at their statistics can be dizzying: a dozen gold, three platinum, and one double-platinum record album (to go with the double-platinum single “Elvira,” which sailed up both the pop and country charts). Thirty Top 10 hits. Performances before five American presidents. Pioneering work in the field of country-music videos. Induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Millions of streams. Live shows numbering in the tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands. As was the case with Willie Mays, after logging more years in the business than all but a sliver of their contemporaries, the Oaks are still setting records. And making records. Following sales of well over 40 million albums and counting, The Oak Ridge Boys continue to lay down their one-of-a-kind vocals in the studio and on stages all over the world, experimenting with a sound known to millions, always looking for new ways to communicate with their music. As an example, their last three albums have been produced by famed Nashville music figure Dave Cobb, a Grammy Award winner for his work with artists such as Jason Isbell and Chris Stapleton. The group’s consistently fresh attitude and presentation is summed up nicely in a statement by William Lee Golden. “We do things constantly to challenge ourselves, to try to do something different or better than the last time we did it.” Like Willie Mays, like Humphrey Bogart – like all the greats – The Oak Ridge Boys transcend their time and place, continuing with every performance and each new disc to not only add to their amazing heritage, but also to further their quest to serve up more new and exciting Oaks music to the world. One of the most famous “legacy acts” ever, with a 50-year string of hits to draw from, they are much more than a group content to faithfully reproduce its dozens of hits. After all this time, the Oaks and their music remain vibrant, alive, and inventive. To the delight of their millions of fans, they’re still breaking musical barriers, still reaching for new sounds, still performing at a high and wonderful level that both builds on and transcends the generations of their stardom.
The Bacon Brothers
The Bacon Brothers have spent the better part of three decades exploring their own mix of folk ,rock, soul, and country music. They call that diverse sound “forosoco,” and it’s taken them around the world, from headlining gigs in Japan to American performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry and Gruene Hall. The exploration continues with the band’s twelfth release, Ballad Of The Brothers. It’s a record that highlights not only the similarities between Kevin Bacon (known world wide as an A-list Hollywood actor) and Michael Bacon (celebrated as an Emmy-winning composer), but the differences, too. The two siblings maybe bound together by blood and a mutual love of American roots music, but they’ve grown into sharp songwriters and cinematic storytellers with their own distinct approaches. Ballad Of The Brothers makes room for both of those approaches, offering a mix of edgy alt-rock (“Take Off This Tattoo”), Motown-inspired soul (“Put Your Hand Up”), fingerpicked folk (“Let That Be Enough”), and everything in between. The album also marks the continuation of a musical partnership that began long ago in Philadelphia, where the Bacons were raised on a soundtrack of 1970s singer/songwriters, Philly soul bands, and classic rock acts. Multiple decades and countless shows later, they’re creating their own soundtrack, saluting their old-school influences while making music that’s undeniably modern.

Sawyer Brown
When asked what has set Sawyer Brown apart in the music business to account for four decades of success, lead singer and front man Mark Miller answers, “One of the unique things about the band is we don’t really have a lot of love songs. We have life songs.”Years before The Voice and American Idol, there was Star Search with Ed McMahon. In the first season, an eclectic and charismatic country-rock band appeared on the show, taking America by storm.After being told no time after time in Nashville showcases, Sawyer Brown won over millions of fans with their electrifying TV performances week after week in Hollywood. Capturing the hearts of all ages, their sound was compared to country super-groups like Alabama and Charlie Daniels Band, but they looked more like the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith. From ignored underdogs in Music City to overnight rock stars from LA to New York, they swept the competition and won.Riding on the wave of sudden TV popularity, the band spent their first year-and-a-half on the road with country and pop icon Kenny Rogers, opening his shows in arenas across the U.S., all while learning from the best.From there, Sawyer Brown began to quickly carve out their own niche, delivering hit after hit, selling out venues, and constantly wowing an ever-growing fanbase. Navigating the music business on their own terms, the band blazed a new trail through uncharted territory to constantly beat the odds and win the day in the volatile world of the entertainment industry.Since 1984, the band’s high-energy reputation, uncompromising dedication to their fans, along with their relentless drive to stay true to themselves have never wavered. For the past forty years, “the boys” legendary live shows have captivated audiences with no signs of ever slowing down.Today, Sawyer Brown just keeps on delivering their unapologetically blue-collar, grass-roots message through music. One of their fan-favorite songs says it all. “They were searchin’ for stars when we came along, it was rock ‘n’ roll in a country song, there were five of us thinking that we can, this is the life and times of a travelin’ band.” HAPPY HOUR STARTS AT 5:00pm Crystal Grand Experience Ticket Includes:- Access to the Crystal Grand Experience Lounge open from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm- Private performance before the show from local acoustic artist- Catered Appetizers- 2 Complimentary Drinks – Chances to win a meet and greet with headlining artist (If artist provides one) **Meet and Greets are not guaranteed.

Daniel O’Donnell
You can measure Daniel O’Donnell’s incredible 40-year career through his impressive sales feats if you like: here’s a singer who’s achieved 12 gold-selling albums and another seven which have gone silver. Daniel has scored 16 Top 10 albums and 11 Top 30 singles, including the gorgeous Top 10 hit Give A Little Love.Go to a concert and witness the rapturous response that shows the admiration Daniel O’Donnell engenders in people, a closeness to his audience legendary among fellow performers, evidence of how Daniel O’Donnell has been a true phenomenon ever since his debut album The Boy From Donegal was released in 1984.Perhaps the biggest testament, at least in statistics, to how Daniel O’Donnell has stayed at the top of his game for so long is that he’s the only artist to have placed a different album in the chart every year since the gold-selling From The Heart launched his career in the UK in 1988.Daniel’s current album Through The Years, released in Oct 11, 2024, is the perfect go-to album for Daniel fans both new and old, featuring 42 tracks across his 40-year career plus a bonus live CD of his concert recorded at The Millennium Forum in Derry in 2023. “My music is all interlinked,” explains Daniel. “There’s a thread running through it. Country, Irish, rock & roll: it all hangs together so that none of it is out of place. If you pull at the thread of my songs, none of it will fall out.” For people who recognized the variety and hope at the center of Daniel’s music, the audiences kept growing. International success in North America soon followed, with Daniel revealing: “As I had in the UK, I started in Irish community places like Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. But now I mainly play the Midwest in America. I’d have to look for Irish people at my American shows now.” The deluxe edition of Through The Years adds a live disc, recorded at a concert at Derry’s Millennium Forum. “Playing live and the interaction with the audience is what I’ve always enjoyed most,” insists Daniel. “All the rest is a by-product of live shows.” Nonetheless, the instinct for what worked well in the studio has continued. He beat Josh Groban and Westlife to recording You Raise Me Up, commenting of his 2003 hit: “I thought there was something special about that song. I remember saying: ‘If this isn’t a hit for me, it’s going to be huge for somebody else.’” Daniel even became a cult club success in Ireland thanks to his 2011 version of singer-songwriter Billy O’Dwyer’s tune Tipperary Girl – a move that delighted Daniel, who grins: “That was unlikely! It was incredible, but young people in Ireland are open to all types of music and it’s an up-tempo song.”Success has led to friendships with Cliff Richard and Loretta Lynn and enabled Daniel to record with county great Charley Pride on an uplifting version of Crystal Chandeliers. If the boy from Donegal couldn’t have seen that coming when he started 40 years ago, he’s having far too much fun to stop now. As he says: “I’ve always enjoyed what I do. Now, I’m just enjoying all of it.” So will you: here’s the perfect introduction to a singer whose music is the perfect way to enjoy all life has to offer.
