SUMMARY:Welcome Back My Friends - An Evening with Emerson\, Lake & Palmer
DESCRIPTION:Created by Carl Palmer and his management\, the show will be presented with the full cooperation of the Estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE ACT- THIS IS THE REAL THING. Through modern technology they will reunite the band: Carl with his two bandmates\, playing together along with Keith Emerson & Greg Lake\, who both passed away in 2016. The show combines video performance of Emerson and Lake from a legendary sold out ROYAL ALBERT HALL ELP show from 1992 with live on stage performances of Carl Palmer with his own ELP Legacy band (Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick). All the musicians play together in sync to present a complete and authentic Emerson\, Lake & Palmer show. Emerson\, Lake & Palmer (informally known as ELP) was an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of the Nice\, Greg Lake of King Crimson (vocals\, bass\, guitar\, producer)\, and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster (drums\, percussion). With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide\, they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s\, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements\, dominated by Emerson’s flamboyant use of the Hammond organ\, Moog synthesizer\, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group). The band became prominent after performing at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. In their first year\, the group signed with E.G. Records (who distributed the band’s records through Island Records in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in North America) and released Emerson\, Lake & Palmer (1970) and Tarkus (1971)\, both of which reached the UK top five. The band’s success continued with Pictures at an Exhibition (1971)\, Trilogy (1972)\, and Brain Salad Surgery (1973\, released on ELP’s own Manticore Records label). After a three-year break\, Emerson\, Lake & Palmer released Works Volume 1 (1977) and Works Volume 2 (1977). After Love Beach (1978)\, the group disbanded in 1979. The members played in various solo and partial reunion combinations during the 1980s. In 1991\, the original trio re-formed and released two more albums\, Black Moon (1992) and In the Hot Seat (1994)\, and toured between 1992 and 1998. Their final performance occurred in 2010 at the High Voltage Festival in London to commemorate the band’s 40th anniversary. Emerson and Lake died in 2016\, leaving Palmer as the only surviving band member. In 2022\, Palmer and his manager developed and launched the show initially as THE RETURN OF EMERSON LAKE & PALMER show\, again with the full cooperation and involvement of both the Keith Emerson and Greg Lake estates. The show has been re-branded for 2025 as AN EVENING WITH EMERSON\, LAKE & PALMER.

SUMMARY:Vampire Weekend – ‘Only God Was…
DESCRIPTION:Following an undeniably triumphant 2024 tour\, Vampire Weekend have announced their return to global stages this summer.\nSince the release of their rapturously received fifth studio album\, Only God Was Above Us (Columbia Records)\, Vampire Weekend launched their live run under an eclipsed sky in Austin (hailed by Variety as one of the ‘Best Concerts of 2024’)\, graced stages everywhere from a surprise set at Coachella\, a sold out Hollywood Bowl and Red Rocks\, as well as amphitheater and arena stops across the country highlighted by a two sold out show stand at the famed Madison Square Garden. With no plans to slow down in 2025\, the band is set to dominate festival stages and solo dates spanning the US including Philadelphia\, Miami\, Charleston and more. Additionally\, Vampire Weekend have kept their promise of returning to the city of Asheville after postponing their initial date due to the devastating Hurricane Helene.\nVampire Weekend continues to treat fans to the inner workings of the band as they release the latest episode of their sensational podcast Vampire Campfire. On the seventh installment of VC Koenig\, Baio\, and Tomson discuss the year ahead: OGWAU Tour Part 2\, festivals old and new\, a Frog on the Bass Drum revival\, and much more. 2025 will be full of surprises\, that’s a promise.

SUMMARY:Malcolm Todd
DESCRIPTION:When Malcolm Todd graduated high school in 2022\, he told his parents he would be taking a gap year to pursue music. They\, unsurprisingly\, were less than thrilled by the proclamation\, but gave him a year to see if it could work. They learned what the rest of the music industry quickly realized: never bet against Malcolm Todd. “Every single day since I told my mom I wanted to do this\, I have actively worked to grow my fanbase\, to get better at music\, to build this world\,” he explains. By the time he shared Sweet Boy in 2024\, his day job at Cold Stone was in the rearview. Tracks like “Roommates” were racking up millions of streams daily. Fast forward a year\, and Todd is more motivated than ever on his self-titled album\, a declaration that he isn’t a hype machine or a flash in the pan\, but a generation-defining voice.\nThat ambition is immediate on “Bleed\,” the first single from Malcolm Todd. It features Omar Apollo\, who serves as the lone guest on the album. Buoyed by a bouncy bassline\, crisp drums\, and an intoxicating synth melody\, Malcolm and his frequent collaborators Jonah Cochran and Charlie Ziman\, tried to make something as poppy as they possibly could. With most of the album already locked when they began messing around with “Bleed\,” the trio pushed the envelope of what they were comfortable recording to tape\, focused on crafting something sugary sweet but with the depth and subtlety that informs the rest of the album. “We had nothing to lose because we had so much of the album done\,” Todd explains. It ended up being one of his favorite songs on the project. This idea of having nothing to lose defines Malcolm Todd.\nAs a restless\, endlessly curious songwriter\, Malcolm viewed his second album—and growing notoriety—as an opportunity to push himself\, to bring his boldest ideas to the forefront. “I definitely wanted to challenge myself. When you’re making your first project and you’re just working at an ice cream shop and you have nothing to lose\, it’s so pure. It’s not as easy the second time around\,” Todd explains. It was a tightrope walk that took some time to master\, but once able to scurry across without falling\, he started writing his best songs to date.\n“You want to be better than you were the last time\,” Todd states matter of factly. “You have people who are investing money in you. You want to make them proud. I want to make my family proud. You have fans that want certain sounds and you want to do that. You want to make them happy\, too.” Malcolm had to figure out where his own interests fit in this increasingly complex puzzle. “With this album\, I learned to find a space where I’m completely me\, writing music without any fear\, knowing that there are no bad consequences for doing exactly what I want.”\nWIth Malcolm Todd\, the Los Angeles-born songwriter has accomplished something rare: He’s created something deeply aligned with the sound his core audience fell in love with\, while relentlessly pushing the boundaries on what his music can be. He’s done all this while making a project that is a front-to-back blast\, a listen that is funny\, anxious\, proud\, and unsettled all at once. In short\, it’s the platonic Malcolm Todd record. “I just love making music so much\,” he gushes\, before adding: “I just want my fans to feel the care in it. That’s all that matters.”
