Over their next few albums, the songs “When I Look into Your Eyes,” “I Live My Life for You,” “You Are My Religion,” and “Here for You” are most notable.

DPAO’s Annual Concert Series proceeds fund programs and services to 600+ children and adults with developmental disabilities in Jefferson and Lewis County.

FireHouse has released the following statement regarding the 2024 Tour with Warrant:

We’re sad to learn of the passing of CJ Snare, the original lead vocalist, and a founding member of the musical group FireHouse. We were looking forward to CJ rejoining the band after recovering from surgery last fall. Unfortunately, due to CJ’s untimely passing, that won’t be possible. FireHouse will however still be performing with Warrant on Saturday, May 11 at the Municipal Arena in Watertown NY.

Nate Peck, 2023 American Idol Golden Ticket recipient from Season 21, will be handling vocals. With CJ’s blessing and full support, Nate has been singing with the band in CJ’s absence over the past 6 months.

CJ left an indelible mark on the music industry with his soaring vocals and the FireHouse music he helped craft.

Reach for the Sky CJ! Your memory and your music will live on forever.

Wayne Newton can be described in many ways. Legend, Icon, World renowned and record-setting performer, Actor, The Midnight Idol, Mr. Entertainment, USO Ambassador and passionate supporter of veterans and active-duty service members. No other name or person is so defining, representative or synonymous with Las Vegas and the entertainment capital of the world than Mr. Las Vegas himself – Wayne Newton.

Riley Green

with openers Josh Cox and the Rattle Snakes and Parmalee

  • Preferred – $99
  • Reserved – $59
  • General admission – $39

Rolling Stone hailed his musical perspective as “Drinks-in-the-air Nineties Country at an Alabama vs. Auburn tailgate,” and that is just the type of energy fans have come to expect from Riley Green. Raised on the sounds of traditional Country, Bluegrass and Southern Gospel music, the Jacksonville, AL native learned the spirit of songwriting and performing at a young age while spending time with his grandfather, Bufford Green, who ran the Golden Saw Music Hall.

Earning MusicRow’s Breakout Artist of the Year, Riley Green is known for his songs “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” “There Was This Girl,” “If It Wasn’t For Trucks”, collaboration with Thomas Rhett on “Half Of Me” and “Different ‘Round Here (Feat. Luke Combs)”.

 

The first opener for Riley Green is Josh Cox and the Rattle Snakes.

Josh Cox and the Rattle Snakes have been bringing the crowds and the energy to all their performances!! While they bring the country & country rock, no genre is off limits.

Kyle and Bryant’s prior success with rock music blended with Brian and Andrew’s specialization in tasty grooves, together the sound they create for Josh is unmatched.

 

The second opener is Parmalee.

Since their debut on Country radio, Parmalee is one of only four groups since 2001 to earn three consecutive Top 10 singles from a debut Country album. Comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals/guitar and drums, respectively), Cousin Barry Knox (bass), and life-long friend Josh McSwain, the North Carolina natives have earned over 1 billion on-demand streams. Some of their music includes, “Take My Name”, “Girl In Mine,” and PLATINUM-certified No.1 single with Blanco Brown, “Just the Way”.
