“The Beatles’ last love letter to the world…lush, rich, smooth, epic, emotional and utterly gorgeous"--The Daily Telegraph, London September 8, 2009

“And in the end…the love you take…is equal to the love you make”—The Beatles

“Teeming with musical invention”—The Times of London, 1969

"An amazingly cohesive piece of music, innovative and timeless"-Pop Matters, 2004

One of “The Greatest Albums of All Time”-Rolling Stone, 2012

Celebrating 50 plus years of a classic--Keith Putney Productions presents The Beatles’ Abbey Road live and complete in concert. 

Abbey Road was the final Beatles album to be recorded, and its iconic status is unchallenged. It has sold well over 13 million copies in the United States alone, and 31 million worldwide. In the U.S., it spent eleven weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart in an album chart run of 129 weeks.

From the rollicking rock of “Come Together” to the unforgettable harmonies of “Because”, from the heartfelt balladry of “Something” to the lust and longing of “I Want You”, Abby Road entered like the spring morning in “Here Comes the Sun” and stayed with us to become part of our collective memory. It lives again on stage in a complete live concert performance.  

Kate Taylor is of course the legendary "Sister Kate" who made her debut in the early 70s alongside her brothers James Taylor and Livingston Taylor. The aforementioned Sister Kate LP was indeed her first, produced by her manager, who discovered her --as he did James Taylor-the great Peter Asher. That debut LP featured a dream team of musical magicians that included Bernie Leadon, Merry Clayton, Russ Kunkel, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, J.D Souther, Carole King, Leland Sklar, Danny Kortchmar, and the Memphis Horns. 

Richard Barone is the former and current lead vocalist and guitarist for the Bongos, whose seminal 80s releases "Drums Along the Hudson", "Numbers with Wings" and  "Beat Hotel" established Richard as a musical force to be reckoned with. Called a "gifted pop-rock tunesmith" by The New York Times, Richard's solo efforts include acclaimed efforts such as 1987's Cool Blue Halo, 1990's Primal Dream, and 2010's "Glow"

The musicians are all top flight players with a history of performing with legends of British Rock, including Musical Director Jeff Alan Ross on vocals, keyboards and guitar, and Bill Cinque on bass, vocals and acoustic guitar. Jeff  was the lead singer of Badfinger alongside Joey Molland and Mike Gibbons for several years during the 1980s, and currently is the musical director for Peter Asher & Jeremy Clyde, as well as co producer--with Mr. Asher--of "From Me To You", Mr. Asher's show on SiriusXM's The Beatles Channel. Jeff Ross and Bill Cinquehave played with Peter & Gordon, Badfinger (of course), Graham Nash, Denny Laine, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Terry Sylvester--formerly of the Hollies, and the likes of Stevie Nicks, Steve Martin, Brian Wilson, former Beach Boy Al Jardine, Neil Diamond, Boz Scaggs, and more. 

Beyond the Beatles, our artists will round out the show with more great musical moments, including favorites from the catalogs of Kate Taylor and  Richard Barone and some Badfinger classics from Jeff Alan Ross.  

KICK- The INXS Experience is the USA's most captivating salute and tribute to the internationally acclaimed rock band, INXS

KICK-The INXS Experience is a unique blend of incredibly talented musicians who bring the highest level of musicianship to the audience while showing a real passion for the music of INXS- consistently causing the spontaneous eruption of a decadence-rock party!

Vocalist, guitarist, and singer-songwriter, Cory Massi, has long held a respect and admiration for the late great Michael Hutchence; seeing INXS perform in Philadelphia in 1988 and 1989 served more than a young man’s yearning to scour the beauties in attendance or to drink in the sobering decadence. These were enlightening moments; Michael Hutchence embodied all that a true entertainer strives to be. He was a natural, nearly impossible to become. That caliber of presence either sends your performer-soul to whimpering or it inspires you to soar.

Cory auditioned for the show, Rockstar: INXS, in 2004; it was both an honor and a humbling experience for him. He fully appreciated the competition, American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry for one, but more so enjoyed the comradery of his fellow hopefuls. It was clear to him that every person at CBGB's that day wanted to be a part of reviving INXS. Ultimately, as you are probably aware, the role was awarded to JD Fortune, who did a fine job during his tenure as the new front man for the band. The next time you see Cory, you should ask him to tell you the story of meeting Little Steven Van Zandt that afternoon- it’s a funny story and so befitting the end of a great trip; Cory loves to recount the tale and will likely whip out the pictures to illustrate.

 In July of 2013, while attending an Aerosmith tribute show, Draw the Line, at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, it struck him that there was no reason he couldn't be on that stage in tribute to Michael Hutchence and INXS, an idea he had been tossing around for nearly a decade. Cory had watched the emergence of the tribute scene during that time and after a conversation or two with leading tribute circuit friends, Paul Sinclair of "Get the Led Out" and Rick Murphy of "Hollywood Nights" and the various life-long friends who backed both these great singers, he found himself inspired to bring his idea to fruition.

Upon returning home in early September, Cory found himself questioning whether or not he could find the caliber of player he was looking for in the small southern town of Greenville, SC- where the preferred genre of music leans heavily to southern rock, the blues, and country. He ran the idea by his friend and fellow Sweet Crude bandmate, Don Leslie, who was, at first, a bit taken aback. Don is an extremely talented bass player whose tastes and past experience reflect the heavier side of rock-n-roll.

It wasn't long though before Cory was able to enlist his help in searching for players. And, much to their surprise, it was almost magical the ease with which the band came together. In just 10 short months, Cory found himself on that very stage, at the House of Blues, performing with his band.

KICK- The INXS Experience has beautifully managed to capture the spirit of INXS in both its sound and live performance. The focus has been on faithfully recreating the music in its most powerful sense, an  in-the-pocket bottom end from bass player, Don Leslie and drummer, Gary Forbes, a brilliant combination of piano and synth by Johnny Cassidy; the signature guitar tones produced by guitarists, Todd King and Jason Taylor; and saxophone by area favorite, Tom Wheat  and the spot-on lead vocals by Cory Massi, all lend to a powerful high-energy show that is guaranteed to have the entire venue singing and dancing to every song- all night long!

 The band hears it, time and time again: 

“This was like seeing INXS all over again, I’m their biggest fan.”

"That was such an awesome surprise; I'd almost forgotten how much I love INXS!"

"I came thinking I would only know a couple of songs, but I knew every single one- and the words, too."

"Cory Massi is Michael Hutchence 2.0, fabulous!"

 “KICK- The INXS Experience will take you back. It will reignite your passion for INXS. It will introduce you to music that is still as fresh today as the day it was written; Original Sin to Elegantly Wasted and everything in between!”

So, slide over here... and give me a moment.

The Uprooted Band featuring Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root - WHEN I WOKE - 25th Anniversary Tour                 

Michael Glabicki, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for Rusted Root fuses musical mastery and shamanic inspiration into his music and live performances. In his most prolific period to date Michael is focusing his energy on his new band, UPROOTED, to carry on the legacy of Rusted Root’s energetic music while recording new music for Uprooted’s debut album due out next spring.  To honor the past, MIchael is taking Uprooted on tour this fall and throughout 2020 to perform the multi-platinum album WHEN I WOKE in it’s entirety. When I Woke, spawned the Top 40 hit “Send Me On My Way” along with fan favorites “Ecstasy” and "Martyr” (among others) and went on to chart on Billboard’s Hot 100. 

“Uprooted has masterfully expanded the landscape of the older Rusted Root songs and created a new intuitive and magnetic vision of the material” says Michael, “These inspired performances not only energize and expand the hearts of the crowds but also show us how to take the new music to the next level”.

Rusted Root, lead by Michael, built their career around dramatic performances; their polyrhythmic, multicultural rock-and-soul picked up fans like a junkyard magnet as they swept across the nation on tour.  Glabicki continues to keep this tradition alive through his new project, The Uprooted Band.

With Dirk Miller on guitar and vocals, Zil Fessler on drums, Shawn Hennessey on percussion, Erik Kramer on bass, and Daisie Ghost Flower and Emily Victoria on background vocals, Uprooted is a liberating project for Glabicki. He says "I looked to the past and imagined where I wanted to go and realized this band is the perfect vehicle to take me there.”  The Uprooted Tour will focus on the energy and excitement Rusted Root brought to all of their fans, and keep the spirit of the music moving forward.

Over the last decade, New England native Stephen Kellogg has performed more than 1500 concerts around the world, raised thousands of dollars for causes close to his heart, been named Armed Forces Entertainer of the Year, and penned singles for artists like platinum-selling rock band O.A.R and American Idol winner Nick Fradiani. Stephen's most recent writing work with legendary guitarist Robert Randolph led to a 2017 Grammy nomination for "Best Contemporary Blues Record." He's also had his songs covered by international major label acts and released ten studio albums of his own yielding hundreds of thousands of ticket and record sales.

A father of four and married to his high school sweetheart, filmmaker Peter Harding was so moved by the everyman nature of Kellogg's story that he made a documentary called "Last Man Standing" which went on to become an Amazon exclusive film. In recent years, Kellogg has added authorship and speaking to his resume as well. He delivered a TEDx Talk on job satisfaction, the keynote speaker for the prestigious photography summit WRKSHP, and was invited to speak to the students at Columbine High School in Littleton, CO on the topics of social justice and 'finding your voice.’ He has appeared as a contributing author in several publications and in 2019, will be publishing his first full-length book entitled “Objects in the Mirror: A Storyteller’s Take On What Matters Most.”

Kellogg’s newest studio album, “Objects in the Mirror”, was recorded over the course of a single week in Nashville, TN. Produced by Will Hoge and featuring twelve songs that explore American life in 2018, the decision was made to track the band live, keeping the results intact with minimal overdubs. “I wanted to make an album that sounded and felt like the ones I grew up loving; Bob Seger and Cat Stevens, Tom Petty and Rod Stewart. Emotional records where the songs relate to each other and the lyrics are front and center. That’s my true north.” Kellogg’s emotion has never been in question with one music blogger succinctly describing his music as ‘a beautiful display of—well, his heart.” And as for the lyrics, Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz can lately be heard singing their praises on his ‘Underwater Sunshine’ podcasts.   

While Stephen Kellogg may have remained underneath the radar for some in the mainstream, he has succeeded in building a meaningful career alongside many of the best in the business. He’s sung duets with Sara Bareilles, Josh Ritter, Rosanne Cash, and Pat Monahan of Train and participated in the 2018 “Garden Of Dreams’ concert at the Beacon Theater. His music has found its way onto the Billboard charts and featured in numerous films and TV shows. Whether performing solo or with a band, Kellogg’s soul and energy fuel one of the most dynamic shows anywhere. “With beautifully written songs and an engaging personality,” The Michigan Daily reports, “Kellogg appears as if he was born on stage, taking the spotlight and using it to his advantage, but never letting go of his connection with the audience.” A master storyteller in his prime, he will spend much of 2019 where he’s always been at home - the road.

Twenty five years of hard rocking blues

Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, has been hard rocking the blues in his fierce and soulful way for more than 25 years. Over the course of his career, dating back to 1994, he has been a force to be reckoned with on the guitar, and his tempestuous, soulful playing has never been more powerful. An imposing figure with a shaven head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performance style he describes as “the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson,” Popa Chubby is an endearing character who is one of the genre’s most popular figures.

His career has always been about moving forward and carving out a place for himself in the imposing terrain of the music business, overcoming odds to continue growing and maturing as a creative force. He has built a constantly increasing base of fans across the world wherein many territories he is a star. A native New Yorker, Horowitz’s initial gigs were in the NYC punk scene. As a guitarist, for what he reflects was a “crazy Japanese special effects performer in a kimono called Screaming Mad George, was inspired by the horror-movie show.” Right from the start, he was immersed in rock ‘n’ roll scene and learned from George and others playing CBGB’s at the time that included the Ramones, the Cramps, Richard Hell, whose band, the Voidoids he joined that rock ‘n’ roll should be dangerous. He reflects, “Musicians like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols weren’t just bands. They were a threat to society.”

The Blues however was the foundation of his playing style. He recalls, “since I’d grown up on Hendrix, Cream and Led Zeppelin, when I started playing blues in New York clubs I understood that the blues should be dangerous, too. It wasn’t just from playing in punk bands. Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters were dangerous men. They’d cut or shoot you if they thought it was necessary, and Little Walter packed a gun and wouldn’t hesitate to use it. That danger is a real part of the Blues and I keep it alive in my music.”

Popa Chubby is his own man for better or worse. He reflects, “I’m living in a wild time, and that is where the inspiration is drawn from. There are my issues, but the picture is much bigger than me and my situation. Everything is breaking down in the world. The lines are being redefined. We all need something.”

If John Denver had a son, you have to admit it. The resemblance to music icon John Denver, who died in 1997 when his experimental aircraft crashed into the Pacific Ocean, is uncanny. Listen to Ted Vigil and you’ll be Rocky Mountain High all over again.

Ted, who has been performing since he was 10, as well as writing, recording and performing his original compositions, won a national Talent Quest title as John Denver in 2006. After winning a celebrity look-alike contest, he began planning his John Denver tribute show. Since then Ted has performed as John Denver nationwide, offering some of Denver’s most familiar tunes, including “Thank God I'm A Country Boy,” “Calypso,” “Annie’s Song,” “Rocky Mountain High” and “Sunshine on My Shoulders.” He has wowed crowds from coast to coast and has played twice for John Denver’s own “Windstar Foundation” in Aspen Colorado.

The most heard comments after one of Ted's shows are echoed in this review from a long time John Denver fan: “I was completely blown away by this young man, Ted Vigil. From the moment he set foot on the stage, I was mesmerized by his voice and his incredible resemblance to the late and great John Denver. Ted Vigil's voice, mannerisms, and humor were so much like John's that I had to keep reminding myself it was a 'tribute show'....that wasn't really Johnny up on that stage - Ted Vigil is THAT GOOD!!!  He brings John back to the stage, if only for a little while…and the experience he creates is magical!”

Melissa Etheridge is one of rock music’s great female icons.  Her critically acclaimed eponymous debut album was certified double platinum. Etheridge’s popularity built around such memorable songs as “Bring Me Some Water,” “No Souvenirs” and “Ain’t It Heavy” for which she won her first Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal.

Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am, featuring the massive hits “I’m the Only One” and “Come to My Window,” a searing song of longing that brought her a second Grammy.  The six times platinum album spent more than two and a half years on the album chart.

With fifteen Grammy Awards nominations and two wins, Etheridge is also an Oscar winner for Best Original Song in 2007 from the climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth.  In 2011 Melissa made her Broadway debut as St. Jimmy in Green Day’s rock opera, American Idiot, and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In fall of 2016, Etheridge released Memphis Rock & Soul, featuring original material as well as interpretations of classic songs from the legendary Stax catalog.

This concert features her latest album The Medicine Show an album of renewal, of reconciliation, of reckoning, of compassion and, most profoundly, of healing,  themes that have run through Etheridge’s career, and have fueled her life’s work as an activist for human rights, LGBTQ issues, breast cancer awareness and alternative medical approaches.

With this, her 14th studio album, she brings it all to new levels of artistry. The healing builds on the musical medicine of its two predecessors, 2014’s exuberantly expressive This is M.E. and 2016’s joyous trip through the cherished history of the iconic Stax Records legacy, Memphis Rock and Soul.

The songs of The Medicine Show are inspired by acts of kindness, love, resilience and bravery on all levels. “Human Chain,” with its Memphis soul vibe, is of people coming together to help one in need.

“Right as everything started going crazy in 2017, with the division and racism and hatred coming to the surface, I would find these little stories on Twitter and everywhere,” she says. “There was one with a man in France, I think, stuck in the ocean in a riptide and the water was about to take him, and the people on the beach noticed him and made a human chain and pulled him in. I thought, ‘That’s who we are! I wrote in my notebook, ‘The Human Chain.’ Then I kept it simple with the feel and lyrics. You see something like that and it breaks your heart. We are so much more loving than we are fearful. It’s time to come together.”

The album-closing “Last Hello” draws on the incredible strengths and courage shown by the survivors of the Parkland school shootings. Other songs take a look-in-the-mirror stance about overcoming a wide range of challenges and adversities, of rising above with equal measures of love and fortitude.
