Sam Grisman Project

If Sam Grisman’s name sounds familiar, that is because his name is indelibly intertwined in music folklore and legend. Sam Grisman Project isn’t just a band — it’s a celebration of friendship, legacy, and the joy of making music with the people you love. Led by bassist and songwriter Sam Grisman, son of acoustic pioneer David “Dawg” Grisman, the group pays heartfelt tribute to the timeless sounds of Dawg and his longtime collaborator Jerry Garcia — while also blazing their own inspired trail.

With a rotating cast of rootsy ringleaders like Ric Robertson, Aaron Lipp, and Chris “Hollywood” English, the Sam Grisman Project brings acoustic jams, old-school spirit, and fresh energy to the stage. It’s music born from memory, steeped in love, and made to be shared — whether reimagining a classic Garcia/Grisman tune or diving into their own original material.

Expect a night of Grateful Dawg vibes, deep grooves, and the kind of musical chemistry that only comes from lifelong friends chasing the same sound.

Marshall Crenshaw

Sponored Ad

Marshall Crenshaw has been crafting smart, soulful pop songs since the early ’80s — and he’s still going strong. With a knack for melodic hooks, sharp lyrics, and a voice that channels vintage rock ‘n’ roll with effortless charm, Crenshaw has carved out a singular career spanning over four decades. His breakout hit “Someday, Someway” turned heads with its retro-modern sound, and his deep catalog since has only confirmed his status as a master of classic songcraft.

Whether you know him as the guy who once played John Lennon in Beatlemania, Buddy Holly in La Bamba, or simply as one of the most underrated pop auteurs of his generation, Crenshaw brings a warmth and musicianship to the stage that’s impossible to fake. Backed by a tight band that grooves as hard as it shimmers, his live shows are a celebration of collaboration, craft, and timeless tunes — from the toe-tappers to the heartstring-pullers.

The Tom Petty Project

The Tom Petty Project is a celebration of one of rock’s most legendary artists. TPP was formed by a collection of seasoned, professional musicians in the NY/CT area to re-create the soaring live performances, and wide-ranging music catalogue that brought Petty and his bands the gigantic following that persists today. From its origins in 2018, TPP has been selling out popular music venues in the tri-state area, including the Main Stage at the Warehouse in Fairfield, CT, the Levitt Pavilion in Westport, CT and Nantucket’s renowned Chicken Box. The fan reaction has been incredible as word continues to spread that this is the best Tom Petty tribute act on the east coast.

Tab Benoit

B.B. King Entertainer of the Year • Louisiana Music Hall of Famer

I Hear Thunder marks the long-awaited return of four-time Grammy-nominated artist Tab Benoit. Renowned for his distinctive guitar tone and Otis-Redding-esque voice, Benoit has been a captivating figure in the roots music world for over thirty years.

Tab’s personal growth and advancement as a songwriter and musician have culminated in a benchmark recording. His new self-produced album, I Hear Thunder, for his imprint, Whiskey Bayou Records, is a testament to his fiery exuberance that first marked his career in 1992. The record not only showcases his artistic brilliance but also his profound commitment to environmental advocacy, a legacy that extends beyond the stage into the heart of the land that inspires his bluesy soul.

On Benoit’s forthcoming national tour, fans will be delighted to hear the new songs and selected tracks from his vast catalog. Benoit does more than play the blues; he defines its future while paying homage to its rich past.
