Nothing More formed in San Antonio, Texas, and currently call Nashville, Tennessee, home. Lauded as one of Kerrang!’s “22 Artists Shaping The Future of Rock,” the band builds unapologetically massive anthems from catchy arena-ready hooks with explosive bombast and nuanced storytelling. With over 1 billion streams and 160 million video views throughout their career, they have earned three Grammy Award nominations and over a half-dozen Top 10 singles at Active Rock radio.

In October 2025, Nothing More released their interpretation of “We’re in This Together” by Nine Inch Nails, which they started recording 11 years ago before being sidetracked by creating their own music.

“‘We’re in This Together’ sounds like a love song colliding with a war cry,” said frontman Jonny Hawkins. “Alan Watts [the British American writer and orator] once said that ‘you are the universe experiencing itself’ — and this song embodies that truth. It’s us against the world, and this song is my inner monologue.”

Tickets start at $86. Visit themahaffey.com.

Morrissey recently received a 2024 Social Vanguard Award in recognition of his “outstanding service and dedication to Animals Rights.”

As lead singer of The Smiths, he marked forever the history of music with only four albums. As a soloist, he has consolidated a sound that still reverberates today, making him one of the most acclaimed voices of the last four decades. When the debut single from The Smiths, “Hand In Glove,” first emerged, the musical landscape was forever changed and launched a rich catalog of songs that includes anthems such as “This Charming Man,” “How Soon Is Now?,” “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out,” “Suedehead,” “Everyday Is Like Sunday,” “Irish Blood, English Heart,” “First of the Gang to Die,” and many more.

Music4Life Living Arts Center

Christian Lopez

CLEARWATER — Christian Lopez will perform on Saturday, Jan. 17, 7 p.m., at the Music4Life Living Arts Center, 1204 Rogers St., Clearwater.

Tickets start at $33.85. Visit wileyhouseconcerts.org.

Lopez isn’t merely riding the wave of Americana: The West Virginia native is bending it to its knees. According to a biographical sketch provided by Red Light Management, as the son of a music teacher, Lopez was learning piano and guitar by the time he was in kindergarten, and he recorded his debut EP, “Pilot,” produced by Americana super-producer Dave Cobb, when he was just 18.

Since then, Lopez has recorded and released four albums, including “Onward” in 2015, “Red Arrow” in 2017, “The Other Side” in 2021, and “Magdalena” in 2023.

“If I want my music to last in the world, I have to stay as authentic as possible, and that means not compromising or being boxed in,” he said. “That also applies to just being a human. Wherever that leads me, I’m sure that’ll be the place that I was meant to be, both musically and mentally.”

Lopez may be at his most irresistible when he’s crooning. His voice is an earnest tenor, elastic and versatile, yet also lived-in — roughed up from years spent on the road playing bars and clubs.

Remarkably, Lopez says being a vocalist was never part of the plan.

“I never wanted to be a singer when I started,” he says. That he’s able to admit that now speaks to how far he’s come from the swaggering guitar wunderkind of his teenage years.

The Palladium

Benise & Pavlo

ST. PETERSBURG — Spanish Guitar Entertainment LLC will present Benise & Pavlo on Friday, Jan. 16, 7:30 p.m., at the Palladium at St. Petersburg College, 253 Fifth Ave. N., St. Petersburg.

Tickets start at $50. Visit mypalladium.org.

Emmy award winning artist Benise shattered the mold of Spanish guitar by combining world music and dance. “The Prince of Spanish Guitar” just launched his 25th anniversary tour and eighth PBS special “25 Years of Passion.” Armed with his Spanish guitar and a stage full of musicians and elaborately choreographed dancers, Benise takes the audience on a musical journey through Spanish flamenco, Cuban salsa, Brazilian samba, Parisian waltz, exotic drumming, and more.

Pavlo’s Mediterranean music speaks for itself. Over the span of his 20-plus-year career, the internationally renowned, award-winning recording artist, performer and songwriter has released 15 albums and four PBS TV concert specials. Pavlo has made a name for himself by offering a musical amalgam he simply calls “Mediterranean music” — a blend of Greek, flamenco, Latin, and even Balkan flavors wrapped in contemporary pop. His music has taken him all around the world.

Safety Harbor Art & Music Center

Pete Muller

SAFETY HARBOR — Pete Muller will perform on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 7:30 p.m., at the Safety Harbor Art & Music Center, 706 Second St. N., Safety Harbor.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Visit www.safetyharborartandmusiccenter.com.

According to his official website, Muller was born in New Jersey. He began his musical journey during his teenage years, picking up regular gigs as a pianist while excelling enough at his academic studies to earn acceptance to Princeton University. A math whiz with a preternatural gift for numbers, he found himself fascinated with the connections between technology and finance, and within a decade of graduating, he’d helped revolutionize the field of quantitative trading, which in turn transformed Wall Street as we know it.

Successful as he was, Muller missed the creative rewards of the arts, so he shifted gears, embarking on a period of equally intense focus on his music that found him busking in the subway, playing small clubs and cafes, and writing his own songs for the first time. After releasing a pair of early albums, he married, moved to California, and became a father. While he eventually returned to the business he’d founded, Muller remained as dedicated as ever to his craft, releasing a series of albums that would lead to dates with the likes of Lisa Loeb, Jimmy Webb, Livingston Taylor, and Paul Thorn along with festival slots everywhere from Telluride to Montreux.

Muller’s unlikely path — and the lessons he’s learned from it—inform much of “One Last Dance,” his most recent album. Released in 2025, the album opens with the bittersweet “New York In the Rain.” Lush and atmospheric, the track captures the feeling of isolation that comes with disappearing in a crowd.

Bilheimer Capitol Theatre

Jesse Cook

CLEARWATER — Canadian guitarist Jesse Cook will perform on Friday, Jan. 16, 8 p.m., at the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater.

Tickets start at $26. Visit www.rutheckerdhall.com or call 727-791-7400.

A career spanning 25 years has brought Cook multiple accolades including a coveted Acoustic Guitar Magazine Player’s Choice Silver Award, 11 Juno Award nominations, a Gemini Award and 10 platinum and gold studio albums. Moreover, he has sold out concert halls the world over, produced five PBS television specials and five live CDs.

“If you had asked me at age 22, I would have said that I would never, never make music for the public,” Cook said in a press release promoting the tour. “I would have told you that the public is much too fickle — they may love you one minute and forget you the next. Well, it turns out I did the thing I said I’d never do, and somehow it’s worked out.”

Since launching his career with 1995’s “Tempest,” Cook has blazed an incredible trail. Along with being a global-guitar virtuoso, he’s honed his skills as a composer, producer, arranger, performer and, more recently, filmmaker and cultural ambassador. Surprisingly, he started down many of those paths before he even started school.

As a child he was introduced to flamenco while spending summers at his father’s house in the Camargue region of southern France. John Cook’s neighbor happened to be Nico Reyes, guitarist for The Gypsy Kings. Meanwhile his mother, Heather Cook, with whom he lived, enrolled him in Toronto’s prestigious Eli Kassner Guitar Academy.

Cook’s musical education continued at the world-renowned Royal Conservatory, Toronto’s York University and the esteemed Berklee College in Boston. He set his sights on a career as a composer. That was until an Ontario cable TV company aired his music on the listings channel.

This proved to be a critical turning point, leading Cook to self-produce “Tempest” at home using an eight-track recorder and one microphone. Then he delivered the initial run of 1,000 CDs from the plant to the distributor in his car. Those humble beginnings quickly sparked a mighty international career.

Bilheimer Capitol Theatre

Judy Collins

CLEARWATER — Grammy winning artist Judy Collins will perform on Sunday, Jan. 18, 7 p.m., at the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater.

Tickets start at $35. Visit www.rutheckerdhall.com or call 727-791-7400.

Collins has long inspired audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century.

The award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album, “Wildflowers,” has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Collins’ dreamy and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the Clowns,” a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical “A Little Night Music,” won Song of the Year at the 1975 Grammy Awards. She’s garnered several Top 10 gold- and platinum-selling albums. Recently, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album “Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins.”

Her 55th album, “Spellbound,” released in February 2022, finds Collins enjoying an artistic renaissance. The 13-song album is a special entry in her oeuvre. It marks the first time ever she wrote all the songs on one of her albums. It features 12 new recently-written modern folk songs, and a bonus track of her evergreen, “The Blizzard.”

The year prior, she was awarded top prize at the Canadian Songwriting Competition in the jazz category. Biali was also the youngest-ever double winner at Canada’s National Jazz Awards when she was named SOCAN Composer of the Year and Keyboardist of the Year.

Biali received her first Juno nomination for “Tracing Light” (2011), and a spot on DownBeat Magazine’s Best Albums of the Year for “Live in Concert” (2013) and “Out of Dust” (2020).

Despite their growth Apes of the State remains fiercely independent and practices a DIY ethos.

Southern Culture on the Skids has been consistently recording and touring around the world since its inception in 1983, when Rick Miller was a grad student at UNC-Chapel Hill. The current lineup features Dave Hartman on drums, Mary Huff on bass and vocals, and Rick Miller on guitar and vocals. They have been playing together for more than 30 years.

The band’s musical journey has taken them from all-night North Carolina house parties to late night network talk shows, and from performing at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan to rockin’ out for the inmates at North Carolina prisons. Their music has been featured in movies and TV and used to sell everything from diamonds to pork sausage. Their legendary live shows are a testament to the therapeutic powers of foot-stomping, butt-shaking rock and roll.

“At Home with Southern Culture on the Skids” is the latest full-length album from the band. Released in March 2021, it was recorded during the stay-at-home period of the pandemic when the band was not touring.
