After years of playing in local bands and doing sound work at Dallas warehouse venues, a nightclub owner in the city’s Deep Ellum neighborhood goaded him onto the stage one night. He tore through “Folsom Prison Blues,” the crowd went wild, and the owner dubbed him “the Reverend” on the spot. The name stuck.

August 30th - Ben Chapman - The Aquarium
Ben Chapman is a road warrior who has spent the previous three years in a whirlwind of activity — writing songs for friends like Hayes Carll, Brent Cobb, and Marcus King; making his Grand Ole Opry debut; and releasing three acclaimed albums of country-fried funky-tonk, but nothing could have prepared him for what 2025 would bring him. His new record Feet on Fire captures that period of wild transition, with songs inspired by Chapman’s marriage to fellow songwriter Meg McRee and the arrival of the couple’s first child. On songs like the guitar-driven title track, Chapman mixes Pink Floyd atmosphere with Crazy Horse crunch, showcasing the full spread of his musical influences. Elsewhere, he tips his hat to his southern roots with the laidback, loping “Out in the Country” and the Stax-sized soul ballad “Missing You.” Produced by Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Anderson East, Feet on Fire captures Ben Chapman as we’ve never heard him before: his back against the wall and his heart full, determined not only to meet the challenges up ahead, but to write about the process, too.

Greg Warren is a beloved stand-up comedian known for his sharp, relatable humor that resonates with everyday families across the country. Warren’s latest comedy special, The Champ, was produced by Nate Bargatze and premiered on Nateland’s YouTube channel. The Champ takes audiences through a hilarious exploration of the dangers of poison ivy, the rise of high school fishing teams, and his own (somewhat questionable) claims to champion status.
Greg’s previous special, The Salesman — co-produced by Nate Bargatze and 800 Pound Gorilla Media — was hailed by The New York Times, as “ [having] done for peanut butter what Jerry Seinfeld did for Pop-Tarts and Jim Gaffigan did for Hot Pockets.” The hour tells the story of Greg’s post-college years selling Jif and Pringles for Procter & Gamble, a formative chapter that ultimately launched his career in stand-up comedy. He can be seen in his Amazon Prime Special, Where The Field Corn Grows, Fish Sandwich on Dry Bar Comedy, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show and Comedy Central Presents. Greg’s audience consists of a widely diverse spectrum, having performed as a finalist on BET’s Coming to the Stage and on Country Music Television.

September 12th - Oak Ridge Boys - Chester Fritz Preforming Arts Center
For more than 50 years, The Oak Ridge Boys have defined one of the most recognizable sounds in American music, blending four-part harmonies with an energetic stage presence that has earned them Grammy, CMA, ACM, and Dove Awards. With a legacy that stretches from their Gospel roots in the 1940s to their rise as Country‑Pop hitmakers, the group—Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban—has delivered classics like Elvira, Bobbie Sue, American Made, and Thank God for Kids. Their music has produced multiple gold and platinum albums, over 30 Top Ten hits, and collaborations with icons ranging from Johnny Cash and Paul Simon to George Jones and Ray Charles.
September 13th - Mannequin Pussy - Burton Cummings Theatre
Mannequin Pussy’s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins “Bear” Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and Missy Dabice (guitar, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. “There’s just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act ,” says Dabice. “The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.”
Mannequin Pussy reached new heights with the release of I Got Heaven via Epitaph Records, the band’s most fully realized LP yet. Over 10 ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It’s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive. In the months following the album’s release, Mannequin Pussy carried that energy onto the stage, embarking on an extensive sold out US and European headline run and festival dates including Outsidelands, Governors Ball, Austin City Limits, Primavera, Reading, Leeds, etc., that solidified I Got Heaven as their most impactful era yet.

September 25th - Bahamas - Burton Cummings Theatre
Afie Jurvanen does not spend too much time in cities these days. For nearly two decades, Jurvanen was a fixture of the Toronto scene, both as a valued multi-instrumentalist and producer for friends like Feist, The Weather Station, and Kathleen Edwards and as the architect of one of his country’s most celebrated artists, Bahamas. Jurvanen came of age across Bahamas’ first six albums, the restlessness of jumpy early hits like Pink Strat and Barchords slowly shifting into the generous domesticity of 2023’s Bootcut. But Jurvanen has long been drawn to open spaces, to a quieter life. In 2009, the year of his aforementioned debut, he began visiting Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Ocean. Over the next decade, his trips became more consistent, then more frequent, and then longer, until, in 2019, Jurvanen and his family of four finally made the move—nearly 2,000 kilometers northeast, to Nova Scotia. They live a lifestyle, Jurvanen half-jokes, that is “close to Mennonite.” The kids are homeschooled. No one has an iPad. Text messages can feel like miracles.

October 9th - SYML - Burton Cummings Theatre
SYML is the solo venture of Seattle artist Brian Fennell. Welsh for “simple”—he makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary, whether that be a place or a person.
Fennell’s latest offering, Nobody Lives Here, marks his clearest, crispest writing. Written, recorded, and produced by him and his longtime collaborator Brian Eichelberger, it is fueled by the keen understanding that life is a contradiction, a fleeting moment. But as we accept the presence of loss, we can still welcome others into our space with melody, lyrics, a slide guitar, or a cello’s hum. His sense of humanity is his musical compass. As an artist, Fennell takes license to both gut and be gutted. “If the dark inspires the good, that’s a good thing to be honest about,” he says.

October 9th - Charlie Berens - Fargo Theatre
Charlie Berens turned a deep affection for Midwestern culture into a comedy career that resonates far beyond the region it lovingly roasts. The Wisconsin native first gained widespread attention through his “Manitowoc Minute” video series, a deadpan news parody delivered in thick Midwest accent that spread across social media like a pasty at a church potluck and earned him a devoted following in the Upper Midwest and among expats who recognized every bit of it. Equal parts comedian, writer, and performer, Berens has parlayed that viral momentum into a full touring stand-up career, a book, and a television special, building an audience that turns out in force across the Midwest and beyond. His comedy mines the particular humor of a culture defined by stoicism, passive aggression, and an almost pathological commitment to being fine — and he does it with the affectionate insider’s touch of someone who genuinely means it as a love letter. For anyone who has ever said “oh ya” unironically or knows the social weight of a proper hotdish, a Charlie Berens show feels less like a comedy night and more like a homecoming.
October 10th - UB40 - Burton Cummings Theatre
UB40 is one of the most successful and influential British groups of all time, with more than 100 million albums sold, and more than 50 charting singles in the UK, including their trademark global #1 hits “Red Red Wine” and “(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You”; and U.S. Top 10s “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” and “The Way You Do The Things You Do.” The reggae/pop legends set the stage this fall for their highly anticipated Relentless tour, performing their iconic hit songs, along with new songs and reworked classics from their recently released hit 45th Anniversary album, UB45, which reached #5 on the UK official album chart.

October 19th - W.A.S.P - Burton Cummings Theatre
Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect W.A.S.P has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.
The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.
Although it’s been over a dozen years since guitarist and songwriter K.K. Downing departed Judas Priest, the iconic band he co-founded and played with for 40 years, he was never really going to retire. It was only a matter of time before he reclaimed the spotlight. As his new album title proclaims, The Sinner Rides Again.

November 14th - Nurse Blake - Fargo Theatre
With over 4 million followers across social media, Nurse Blake is a former surgical ICU nurse, content creator, internationally touring comedian, healthcare advocate, keynote speaker, and children’s book author. Nurse Blake has garnered a loyal following with his original comedy that hilariously captures life in the nursing world.

November 21st - The Bros. Landreth - Burton Cummings Theatre
The Bros. Landreth are two-time JUNO Award winners from Winnipeg, known for their blend of guitar-driven, soulful, blood harmony roots music. The band, the core of which consists of brothers Dave and Joey Landreth, has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated audience for their heartfelt songs, inventive musicianship, and powerful performances. In 2023, a banner year for the band, Joey and Dave became Grammy-winning songwriters when Bonnie Raitt’s cover of their song, Made Up Mind (from their first album, Let it Lie), earned the Grammy for Americana Performance of the Year. The recognition was a fitting nod from one of their musical heroes, as their own music draws inspiration from the well-worn records of their childhood — Bonnie Raitt’s blues, Little Feat’s funky country-rock, Ry Cooder’s eclectic instrumentals, Lyle Lovett’s twangy traditionalism — culminating in a sound that salutes the past while planting its flag firmly in the present.

January 30th - Hilary Duff - Canada Life Centre
The lucky me tour will celebrate the arrival of Duff’s sixth studio album, luck… or something, which includes the acclaimed new single “Roommates,” which is currently climbing at Pop & Hot AC Radio. Co-written by Duff with her husband, GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter/producer Matthew Koma (Britney Spears, P!nk), and Brian Phillips (Alec Benjamin, blink-182) and co-produced by Koma and Phillips, the track was instantly met with high-profile praise from outlets including Billboard, V Magazine, and Rolling Stone, the latter of which declared it “10 OUT OF 10…one of her best songs.” “Roommates” is joined by an official music video, directed by Matty Peacock (Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande) and currently boasting over 2M views at YouTube.
luck… or something was heralded last fall by its first single, “Mature,” available everywhere now. Hailed by VOGUE for “pushing Duff’s sound in new directions while still feeling quintessentially Hilary,” the sardonic, shimmering track – which quickly earned over 5M global streams in its first week of release – arrived as a piece of autofiction inspired by romantic misadventures in her formative years.
