June 18th: Tito Puente Jr. carries the legacy of his legendary father with passion and pride, bringing his high-energy Latin sound to audiences worldwide. With over 300 shows in the past five years, he’s become a favorite at jazz festivals, symphonies, and performing arts centers. His albums, including In My Father’s Shoes and Got Mambo?, honor the classics while showcasing his own musical voice. Tito Jr. continues to keep his father’s spirit alive—one electrifying
June 25th: Charismatic Jamaican born singer/songwriter Nee Nee Rushie leads this remarkable seven piece band that can do three things at once: pay tribute to old school Jamaican pop, reggae and ska, and join a resurgent 21st century retro soul and R&B revival. The third? Rock your world with their unlimited creativity and celebratory grandeur. The horn section, blazing guitars and Nee Nee leading the charge on vocals. It’s quite something to behold.
July 16th: The Wildmans hail from the hills of Floyd, Virginia, rooted in Appalachian mountain music. Blending festival jam sessions and formal music education, they deliver a dynamic sound that reflects their passion and growth. They’ve played stages big and small—from East Coast festivals to Colorado—alongside artists like Béla Fleck, The Steep Canyon Rangers, Sierra Ferrell, Billy Strings, and more.
August 20th: Chicago native Ada Dyer began in local bands before joining Norman Connors as “Adaritha” on his late-’70s albums. She sang on Warp 9’s ’80s club hits and released two solo albums on Motown. Dyer has toured with Chaka Khan and Lenny Kravitz, and recorded with U2, Sting, and Luther Vandross
