March 12: The British Invasion
“The British Invasion – Live on Stage” is an immersive multimedia show that will place audiences at the front and center of pop culture history. Huge projection period photos and original film footage recreate the era’s excitement, fashion and headlines while a full live band performs all of the hits of the sweet ‘60s, the iconic British pop sound that swept across America and the world.
March 13: Little Feat
“Little Feat: Waiting for Columbus Tour” with special guest Ida Mae. Making a truly great live rock and roll album is an enormous challenge, so difficult that they are a rarity. Waiting for Columbus is a consensus member of that very exclusive club. After two years of COVID-enforced silence, Little Feat has big plans for its return to the stage. Hard on the heels of their November “By Request” tour, the band’s March-April 2022 tour will celebrate the 45th anniversary of the legendary “Waiting for Columbus,” replicating the album at every stop.
March 18: Tower of Power
The great grooves and raucous party spirit of legendary soul-funk-R&B outfit Tower of Power, which celebrated its landmark 50th anniversary in 2018, has been a balm for the soul throughout the band’s half-century existence.
