Pioneering and pushing the limits of technology and sequencing in the late '70s and through the '80s, Greg cemented the synthesizer's place in rock and pop music, and his contribution has influenced countless artists since. Along with achieving Rock &#38; Roll Hall of Fame status and massive commercial success with The Cars, Greg has been a sought-after session and touring musician, and has worked with the likes of Paul McCartney, Todd Rundgren, and The Turtles.&#160; &#160; In 2016, Greg collaborated with the acclaimed Boston band Eddie Japan to produce their 2017 album Golden Age. This eventually led to Greg and the band joining forces to create a night of music by The Cars featuring a set list curated by Greg. Since 2019, Greg Hawkes with Eddie Japan Performing the Music of The Cars has been thrilling audiences across the Northeast with an energetic show that includes hits and deeper cuts from The Cars songbook, along with special selections relating to Greg&#8217;s amazing musical career. &#160; We&#8217;re thrilled to announce that acclaimed singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist&#160;Kasim Sulton&#160;has been added as a special guest for&#160;Greg Hawkes with Eddie Japan Performing the Music of The Cars&#160;at the Robins Theatre on Saturday, October 10.

A longtime member of Meat Loaf&#8217;s band, he also served as musical director, was a member of The New Cars alongside Greg Hawkes and has appeared on well over 100 recordings throughout his remarkable career.

                                <description><![CDATA[Rodney Atkins has charted at least one radio single at Country Radio in three different decades all while being on the same record label (Curb Records). That sort of commitment and longevity defines the man. He is an artist with multi-generational impact whose voice has been a mainstay at Country Radio, challenging all of us to be better no matter our age &#8211; parents who are now grandparents, and adults who first heard Rodney while eating a happy&#160;meal in their booster seat.&#160; The ACM Award-winning artist &#8211; who has one of the most recognized and powerful voices in&#160;Country Music &#8211; has over 4 billion global streams; six number one radio singles; 16.5 million RIAA-certified units over 9 singles and 3 albums; has performed on NBC&#8217;s TODAY Show, GMA&#8217;s Strahan &#38; Sara, and FOX &#38; Friends; and his song &#8220;Watching You&#8221; was named Number One Song of the Decade by Country Aircheck and earned the songwriter a BMI &#8220;Million-Air&#8221; Award.&#160; Through the hell we all inevitably go through at some point in life, Atkins has cemented mega-hits in our hearts and minds that help us remain focused on those who matter most. The superstar, who is more interested in connecting with loyal fans and supporting the United States Military than grabbing headlines, is putting his masterful finishing touches on&#160;new music that will begin to release in late 2024 and early 2025, beginning with first song, &#8220;True South,&#8221; on November 22, 2024.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[&#160;Alan (aka &#8220;Al&#8221;) Jardine, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, is best known for being one of the founding members of the California-based group The Beach Boys. Al was born in Lima, Ohio, on September 3, 1942, and met Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson, Mike Love and David Marks after his family moved to Hawthorne, California. They formed The Beach Boys and with their perfect harmonies and original tunes about surfing, beaches, hot rods and California girls, became the rock 'n' roll voice of the West Coast. Al, an accomplished musician on a variety of stringed instruments, played rhythm guitar (and bass on early recordings) and sang the lead on the No. 1 hit &#8220;Help Me Rhonda.&#8221; He also wrote or co-wrote a good number of songs, most notably on the albums Holland, Carl and the Passions--So Tough, Surf&#8217;s Up, and Sunflower. Al continued to tour with The Beach Boys throughout the 70&#8217;s, 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s and left the band after Carl Wilson&#8217;s passing in 1998. In 2001, Al released his first album, Live in Las Vegas, featuring sons Matt and Adam Jardine, along with Carnie and Wendy Wilson (Brian Wilson&#8217;s daughters, also in Wilson Phillips) and then his own solo album in 2010, A Postcard From California, which featured guest appearances from Neil Young, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Steve Miller, Glen Campbell, Gerry Beckley &#38; Dewey Bunnell (America), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Alec Baldwin, plus all the remaining Beach Boys, including the late Carl Wilson. The album featured new versions of classic Beach Boys songs &#8220;Help Me, Rhonda&#8221; and &#8220;California Saga&#8221; in addition to environmentally-themed tracks like &#8220;Don&#8217;t Fight The Sea&#8221; and &#8220;Looking Down The Coast.&#8221; In 2001, Al was also awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy as a member of The Beach Boys. In 2012, Al joined Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and David Marks for a new Beach Boys album, That's Why God Made the Radio and The Beach Boys went on a 50th anniversary reunion tour. In 2016 and continuing through 2018, Al joined Brian Wilson for a 50th anniversary world tour of The Beach Boys&#8217; timeless masterpiece Pet Sounds. The album features such classics as &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t It Be Nice,&#8221; &#8220;God Only Knows&#8221; and &#8220;Sloop John B,&#8221; a song Al learned from The Kingston Trio and then introduced to Brian with a new chord arrangement to fit The Beach Boys vocal style. It became a huge international hit and helped propel Pet Sounds into the top of the charts. For the first half of the 2020&#8217;s, Al has continuously toured with Brian Wilson and his amazing band as well as on his own with his Endless Summer Band featuring his son Matt. In 2025, Al announced that he would reassemble Brian Wilson&#8217;s band as the Pet Sounds Band and perform a series of shows that would include songs from The Beach Boys mid-to-late 70&#8217;s catalog of albums including 15 Big Ones, The Beach Boys Love You and the M.I.U. album. Al also just released a new EP called&#160;Islands In The Sun featuring four new tracks including the title track (which Al has described as the followup to &#8220;Kokomo&#8221;) and a song called &#8220;My Plane Leaves Tomorrow (Au Revoir)&#8221; featuring a guest lead vocal from Neil Young and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers on trumpet performing &#8220;Taps.&#8221;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Kim Wilson, the legendary harmonica virtuoso and frontman of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, is preparing for what may be his most personally meaningful tour yet. The upcoming "A Tribute to Chicago Blues" tour represents a homecoming of sorts for Wilson, who cut his teeth playing alongside the very architects of the Chicago blues sound during the genre's golden era. "That's where I live," Wilson says about Chicago blues. "This is what I love. It's what I've always loved. Everything else that I do, I try and put that mojo on it." Early Immersion in the Scene Wilson's connection to Chicago blues runs deep, stretching back to his teenage years when he was fortunate enough to witness and learn from the masters themselves. "I was probably about 16 years old, maybe even 15," Wilson recalls about when he first became aware of the Chicago blues scene. "All my friends were listening to that stuff and all those guys were coming in and playing live everywhere you can imagine." The young Wilson saw legends like Johnny Shines, Muddy Waters, George "Harmonica" Smith, and Jimmy Reed perform live. More remarkably, he got to play with them. "I played with Eddie Taylor when I was 18 or 19 years old. That's about as Chicago blues as you can get," he notes. The Sound What set Chicago blues apart from other regional styles was its distinctive mood and power. "Something about Chicago blues, those guys really knew how to set a mood," Wilson explains. The migration of blues musicians from the rural South to Chicago created a unique fusion. "They take their district, their region, and they bring it to another city. And it morphs into a combination of a couple of things," Wilson observes. The urban environment demanded amplification, which fundamentally changed the sound. "These musicians performed in a lot of other places before they got to Chicago. They soaked up the different scenes across the country," Wilson says. "Then they put those sounds through an amplifier. Because they were playing in bars. You can't be heard otherwise." Chicago blues was also distinguished by its harmonica-driven sound, featuring legends like Little Walter, James Cotton, and Big Walter. "A lot of Chicago blues was built around the harmonica," Wilson notes, explaining his natural gravitation toward the genre. The Human Element One aspect Wilson emphasizes about the Chicago blues masters is their approachability despite their legendary status. "They were just regular people. That was the thing," he reflects. "People like Jimmy Rogers, I worked with him, and I love covering his stuff. But he was just a normal guy&#8230; with a lot of talent. The same with Muddy Waters, the originator of electric Chicago blues. I would go out to eat with him after a show and no one knew exactly who he was, but they knew he was somebody important. Even the king carried himself like a normal human being." This down-to-earth quality extended throughout the blues community. "Big stars, people like B.B. King, people like Bobby Blue Bland, they were still very normal people. That's because they came from normal backgrounds. They came from having nothing to having a bit of something." A Musical Ecosystem Wilson describes the Chicago blues scene as a thriving ecosystem where hundreds of clubs supported a vibrant community of musicians. "A lot of those guys rarely left the city. They were all playing clubs in Chicago. There were hundreds of them." This concentration created an environment where musicians constantly pushed each other to excel.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[NEW DATE Friday December 11th @ 7 30 pm What goes around comes around, and nearly 25 years since their founding in Denton, Texas, multi-Platinum country band Eli Young Band have come home Led by an unmistakable vocal and bringing a Texas-rock edge to modern country, the never-changing lineup of Mike Eli, James Young, Jon Jones, and Chris Thompson have spent two-plus decades on the run, growing from hometown heroes into globe-trotting, chart-topping pioneers. Yet in all that time, EYB never forgot its raising, and today the foursome reclaim the spirit behind their success. &#8220;We started this thing when we were like 20 years old, and it&#8217;s been such a crazy road and such a longer road than any of us could have conceptualized at the time,&#8221; says Jones. &#8220;I think right now feels a little full circle, in a really nice way.&#8221; Likewise, back-to-back Number One singles came with the 5X Platinum &#8220;Crazy Girl&#8221; in 2011 and 3X Platinum &#8220;Even If It Breaks Your Heart&#8221; (2012), plus the Platinum Number One &#8220;Drunk Last Night&#8221; and 2X Platinum Number One &#8220;Love Ain&#8217;t&#8221; after that. All along they kept the intensity of their live shows front and center, and with a following which now includes more than 1.4 million Facebook followers, 2.2 million monthly Spotify listeners and more, it&#8217;s time to get back to the point. Ready to follow up 2022&#8217;s Love Talking, the band have returned to Panhandle House Studio in their hometown of Denton &#8211; the same studio where Level was born &#8211; bringing new tunes and new excitement along with them. All co-written as a band or with long-trusted collaborators, a fresh batch of songs return EYB to the raw, grassroots energy and emotional sting of their early work, geared for the stage and recorded without digital tricks. The comfort level is plainly evident. Exploring new corners of their patented sound by day, and going home to their families each night, the band were free to bring every ounce of the last 25 years to bear. Tracks like the lead single &#8220;Home In Hometown&#8221; are proof, featuring all the elements that made EYB what it is &#8211; from the electric vocal delivery to the deeply textured sonics and soulful theme. More new tunes rolled out as their 25th anniversary arrived, with the band continuing to celebrate an EYB homecoming. The band&#8217;s newest album Strange Hours arrived on August 1, 2025 and features 13 songs &#8211; all co-written by Eli Young Band members. Jimmy Robbins and Eric Arjes produced 12 of the 13 tracks, while &#8220;Bad Luck&#8221; was produced by Julian Raymond and Scott Borchetta. From feel-good singalongs and heart melting wedding anthems to pure, untamable romance and clever comebacks of love, they show the same stage-rocking Texas-country hit makers fans know and love, undaunted and with new maturity baked in. We all know seasons change, but if you pay attention long enough, things have a way of coming back around. &#8220;It&#8217;s been a blessing just to be able to do this for so long, and over our career we&#8217;ve seen a lot of bands come and go,&#8221; Young says. &#8220;It feels it&#8217;s family, and we can take that with us as we go down this next part of the road.&#8221; &#8220;Our music, since it&#8217;s been the four of us making it from day one, has such a strong through line,&#8221; Jones agrees. &#8220;The way we sounded in the beginning, that&#8217;s the way we&#8217;re going to sound in the end.&#8221; &#160; Jeffrey East will be the opener for this show.]]></description>
