Lake also wrote several acoustic songs for the group.<\/p>\n The band become prominent after performing at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. In their first year, the group signed with E.G.

The brainchild of musical virtuosos deeply rooted in the iconic sounds of the era, Live Dead and Brothers merges the extraordinary legacies of the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band into an unforgettable live spectacle.

Visit www.rutheckerdhall.com<\/a> or call 727-791-7400.<\/p>\n For the past 30 years, this Jakob Dylan-led act has stood as one of rock\u2019s most dynamic and purposeful bands \u2014 a unit dedicated to and continually honing a sound that meshes timeless songwriting and storytelling with a hard-hitting and decidedly modern musical attack. That signature style has been present through the decades, baked into the grooves of smash hits like 1996\u2019s \u201cBringing Down the Horse\u201d as well as more recent and exploratory fare like 2012\u2019s \u201cGlad All Over.\u201d<\/p>\n Even so, in recent years, Dylan \u2014 the Wallflowers\u2019 founding singer, songwriter and guitarist \u2014 has repeatedly stepped outside of his band, first with a pair of more acoustic and rootsy records, 2008\u2019s \u201cSeeing Things\u201d and 2010\u2019s \u201cWomen + Country,\u201d and then with the 2018 film \u201cEcho in the Canyon\u201d and the accompanying soundtrack, which saw him collaborate with a host of artists classic and contemporary, from Neil Young and Eric Clapton to Beck and Fiona Apple.<\/p>\n It had been nine long years since fans had heard from the group with whom he first made his mark. Dylan always knew they\u2019d return.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Wallflowers is much of my life\u2019s work,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty hard to get a good band name, so if you have one, keep it.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2021, the Wallflowers released \u201cExit Wounds,\u201d their first new studio effort since 2012\u2019s \u201cGlad All Over.\u201d While the wait was long, the much-anticipated record finds the band\u2019s signature sound \u2014 lean, potent and eminently entrancing \u2014 intact, even as Dylan surrounds himself with a fresh cast of musicians.<\/p>\n Dylan\u2019s vision has always been the core of the Wallflower\u2019s music. How he chooses to express that vision, however, is what makes a song a Wallflowers song.<\/p>\n \u201cI usually just let the songs tell me what kind of arrangements they need,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd if they’re asking for full-band electric arrangements, then that\u2019s what the Wallflowers provide. And I knew I wanted to make a full-band electric record this time out.\u201d<\/p>\n Bilheimer Capitol Theatre<\/p>\n Thomas Dolby<\/p>\n CLEARWATER \u2014 Thomas Dolby is on the road for \u201cThe Iconic 80s: My Personal Recollections Tour,\u201d which will include a show on Sunday, Nov. 9, 8 p.m., at the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater.<\/p>\n Tickets start at $44.50.

Dolby came to prominence in the 1980s, releasing hit singles including \u201cShe Blinded Me with Science\u201d in 1982 and \u201cHyperactive!\u201d in 1984. He has also worked as a producer and as a session musician.<\/p>\n Dolby is associated with the new wave movement of the early 1980s, a form of pop music incorporating electronic instruments, but Dolby\u2019s work covers a wide range of musical styles and moods distinct from the high-energy pop sound of his few, better-known commercial successes.<\/p>\n In the 1990s, Dolby founded Beatnik, a Silicon Valley software company which developed the polyphonic ringtone software and created the Nokia tune. Its technology was used in more than half a billion cell phones. He was also the music director for TED Conferences. On the faculty at the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University since 2014, Dolby leads Peabody\u2019s Music for New Media program, which enrolled its first students in the fall of 2018.<\/p>\n Dolby has received four Grammy nominations, two each in 1984 and 1988.<\/p>\n Music4Life Living Arts Center<\/p>\n A Tale of Two<\/p>\n CLEARWATER \u2014 A Tale of Two will perform on Saturday, Nov. 8, 7 p.m., at the Music4Life Living Arts Center, 1204 Rogers St., Clearwater.<\/p>\n Visit wileyhouseconcerts.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n Combining the best of Americana and blues melodies with timeless Southern storytelling, award winning vocalist Stephanie Adlington and guitarist Aaron Lessard draw influence from the likes of Tom Waits and Ray LaMontagne, along with bedrock artists such as Patsy Cline and Hank Williams Sr. A Tale of Two has opened for notable artists such as Mary Gauthier, Grayson Capps, and Peter Mulvey.

Founded by Chris Montague (guitar) and Fabian Acu\u00f1a (bass) in 2012, the band honed their chops backing a series of Caribbean singers. Along the way the boys picked up the insane and absurd keys player Christopher Cope and the heavy-footed drummer Adam Kampf before finally trying something a little sonically different with their neighbor, female vocalist Logan Rex.<\/p>\n After nearly a decade of playing together the boys sound tight and powerful, creating the perfect foundation for their jazz-influenced singer to dance around on lyrically and literally. What you hear is the sound of friendship, hard work, imagination and the hope to spread their message of love and the importance of having a good time.<\/p>\n Jannus Live<\/p>\n Balu Brigada<\/p>\n ST.

Their musical conversation mirrors their real-life communication as songwriters and co-producers, finishing each other’s sentences both in everyday discourse and in song. The Beasleys have spent much of the past few years creating a unique future-facing sound of their own.<\/p>\n The years they spent fine tuning their skills paid off in 2022 as they got the attention of Atlantic Records\/Warner Music Australia and signed their first major label deal. They released their debut EP \u201cI Should Be Home\u201d followed by EP \u201cFind a Way\u201d and recently released single \u201cSo Cold,\u201d all of which cumulatively received acclaim from Rolling Stone, Coup De Main, People Magazine (Best New Artist), Ones to Watch and hailed by i-D as \u201can actual band of brothers making tunes stacked with hooks that\u2019ll run circles around your brain for days.\u201d<\/p>\n Jannus Live<\/p>\n The Wrecks<\/p>\n ST.
