If you enjoyed Kevin Bacon’s 1984 film of the same name, then you will enjoy this lively production filled with incredible dancing and singing performances by an excellent cast. Not to be missed on your visit to Simi Valley!

Ren McCormack moves with his mother after their father abandons them to Bomont, a small town known for having laws against dancing he wants to change. Soon enough he discovers he’s not the only one wanting to break these laws by dancing; thus leading a revolution to overturn these regulations and open up Bomont for dancing!

Footloose the Musical is an award-winning Broadway show inspired by the 1984 movie of the same name. Featuring its original book and music as well as eight additional songs including classics “Almost Paradise”, “Let’s Hear It for the Boy”, and the title track. By uniting dynamic new songs with powerful Oscar-nominated hits from its soundtrack, this production celebrates youth exhilaration alongside listening.

This high-energy musical is an immersive journey through self-discovery, full of energetic dancing and singing that will transport audiences back to simpler times when shoes were required to enter a house. With an outstanding cast comprised of teens and young adults as well as some truly classic musical theatre songs written specifically for this production.

Although this show draws heavily from its source material, it remains an enjoyable production that leaves audiences with some thought-provoking takeaways about community and how dance benefits everyone involved. Plus, it makes an excellent opportunity to bring friends along!

As someone skeptical of live theater productions in general, I was slightly wary about seeing the Footloose production in Toronto. At first it appeared like it would be another effort at trying to lure in middle-American Stepford audiences with loud noise and overproduced high school-esque banter, lighting directly into my eyes, and loud noise levels that overpower any sense of atmosphere or reality in films like Footloose; but I was delighted by just how much I enjoyed this version of a classic film!

Amy Marie McCleary directed and choreographed an excellent production. Additionally, the use of space on stage was well utilized: many scenes were created on one set allowing for quick changes between settings without going from one scene to the next – creating the sense that you were experiencing different settings rather than revisiting just one environment over and over.

Costumes, lighting, sound design and video wall were all outstanding as well. I particularly appreciated how video wall was used to create larger sets that didn’t fit on stage and create an enjoyable atmosphere. I am thankful to have experienced this production and hope you do too. So get your tickets today for an entertaining musical!

Many musicians rely on concert performances as their primary source of income, so by attending concerts you are supporting your favorite musicians while improving your mood and increasing happiness. Studies have proven that listening to music reduces stress hormones while the energetic performance at live concerts can give people a natural high that lasts hours afterwards.

Attending concerts is an excellent way to meet new people and form lasting bonds with those you already know, or perhaps discover new musical tastes which could spark long-term friendships.

Attending concerts is an unforgettable experience, whether you’re watching your favorite band or an opening act. From wild sold out nights to calmer acoustic sets, concerts provide unmatched memories that you won’t get anywhere else; experiences you can talk about for years after.

Concerts often provide additional forms of entertainment to keep audiences excited and engaged, such as theatrical effects like acrobatics, dancers, back-up singers and inflatable structures for backdrop. Some performers use image projection systems or prerecorded video for performances as well. Live Aid in 1985 raised money for famine relief while also uniting fans from all around the globe who share an appreciation of music through its power to connect them all together through song.

As well as enjoying your music, dancing and jumping along to your favorite tunes is also an effective way to burn calories! Concerts usually involve standing and moving around extensively, allowing you to quickly burn a great deal of energy within an hour or less – and that number rises if walking to and from the venue itself; an average person can actually burn about 300-350 per hour at rock concerts!

One of the key components of concert planning is selecting your talent. Make sure the talent chosen has an effectful connection to your target audience’s demographics and interests; additionally, factor in any costs or travel costs involved when selecting talent for your show.

Concerts offer music lovers an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience, drawing them together for something truly unforgettable. Concerts have the power to turn any small venue into an incredible spectacle that brings everyone together; whether attending with old acquaintances or new people, attending will leave lasting memories that you can share for years afterward.

PJ Harvey is a British singer-songwriter widely considered one of the premier female rock musicians of her generation. Known for her mythically tuned, fanatically furious records and thrilling live performances, she is best known for her sultry, mysterious music which blends both softness and poetic grandeur into one sublime package. A versatile multi-instrumentalist and composer who plays guitar, piano, violin, autoharp harmonica drums and keys; she is also an established visual artist, sculptor and writer.

Born into countercultural parents in rural England, PJ Harvey appears to have grown up understanding rock as just another elemental force within her landscape. Her performances display an intriguing theatricality; often alluding to mythological characters as archetypes (for instance “Sheela-na-gig,” refers to female exhibitionist carvings with gaping genitals found both there and in Ireland), along with her powerful voice creating an unnerving yet seductive aura of haunted allurement.

Harvey achieved her initial breakthrough with her 1992 album Dry. This produced an unexpected modern rock radio hit in the US called “Down by the Water,” while also garnering critical and commercial success.

Rid of Me was met with equally positive reception, while Harvey and Parish reunited after an absence during the late ’90s to record A Woman a Man Walked By and White Chalk respectively. She also made appearances in several movies such as The Book of Life (1998; based on Mary Magdalene) and Hal Hartley’s A Bunny Girl’s Tale of Sarah Miles (2001).

Harvey collaborated with Parish to record Let England Shake, winning her fifth Mercury Prize that year. Her albums often explore themes of political and social injustice; for example, she has performed concerts in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Washington D.C. and parts of Washington. D.C. She even composed the soundtrack for Belgian theater director Ivo van Hove’s 2019 London stage adaptation of All About Eve!

Harvey collaborated with producer Flood and John Parish on her most recent studio album, I Inside the Old Year Dying, to produce songs written in Dorset, Paris and New York City; Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke even sang lead vocals on three tracks including on her single, “This Mess We’re In”.

PJ Harvey is known for her incredible live shows that switch between vulnerable softness and her signature demonic intensity – her live shows can often involve physical contact between performer and audience, and their performances often leave audiences gasping in wonder! In addition to an impressive array of instruments, she uses large backdrops with umbrellas or various props as part of an unforgettable performance experience. Her ability to draw audiences in makes her highly intelligent and articulate as an artist; many musicians and critics respect her, with her iconic performances earning the respect of many musicians as well. She is widely respected by audiences alike – one could say she is one of today’s most influential female artists!

If you haven’t experienced Nashville’s legendary western swing band The Time Jumpers yet, prepare yourself for an amazing experience. Their shows are lively and spontaneous with an incredible chemistry created by 11 of Nashville’s top musicians playing together; music that honors tradition while keeping up with today. Their star guest list has included Reba McEntire, Bonnie Raitt, Mo Pitney Delbert McClinton & Sheryl Crow among many more who have stopped by their residency every Monday at 3rd and Lindsley.

In 1998, The Time Jumpers formed as an informal jam session among Nashville’s recording studio elite in order to vent some steam and share songs they were fond of playing. Soon thereafter, their show quickly became an instantaneous success and soon outdrew stage capacity at Station Inn – drawing crowds that exceeded even this capacity! As word of their presence spread further afield, stars such as Elvis Costello and Robert Plant started joining them or hanging out, with Elvis often sitting in as well. Over time The Jumpers became “show that stars go see”, eventually earning them regular Monday night residencies at 3rd and Lindsley as fans built itineraries around this special event!

Following Dawn Sears’ death earlier this year, they recently announced they would add Wendy Moten as vocalist, following an album released this year called Kid Sister that pays a fitting tribute. Their tight knit lineup remains strong while becoming more relaxed; after over half a year off during pandemic episodes they plan to resume performing regularly at 3rd and Lindsley with Moten at their side.

Nashville Country Daily recently caught up with four members of Vince Gill’s band — Kenny Sears, Paul Franklin and Ranger Doug Green — to talk about their newest record and their Monday nights at 3rd and Lindsley.

All members of The Time Jumpers are multi-Grammy winners with years of hit records and international tours under their belts. Their musical DNA reflects traditional country, jazz and swing influences while each member draws personal inspiration from listening and watching performers at ballrooms such as Cain’s in Tulsa, Diamond in Oklahoma City, Cotillion in Wichita or other dance halls across the nation.

The members of this band find energy from playing intimate venues together. Comparable to touring massive stages as support acts for superstars on their own tours, playing small club venues provides them with a boost of adrenaline that they don’t find elsewhere – it feels more personal and family-like for them and extends into studio sessions when not touring; their collaboration on albums and live shows are truly impressive thanks to this sense of camaraderie between members that allows for communication and connection that’s hard to come by in today’s music business.

Randy Feltface is an unsavory existentialist puppet created by Australian comedian Heath McIvor. With an avid following around the world and regular appearances at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, his popularity continues to rise worldwide. Over his career, Randy Feltface has written and performed one-man shows that critique modern culture while deconstructing culturally religious belief systems; additionally he occasionally joins Sammy J as comedy duo Sammy & Randy to deliver shows.

His humor is often observational and often self-deprecatory, in which he critiques himself and discusses his failures. Frequently he will refer to being a puppet and thus being unable to see his audience, though on occasion he has broken the fourth wall by directly addressing them during shows.

Over his career, he has made numerous television appearances and was nominated for Edinburgh Fringe Festival’s Best Comedy Act award. Additionally, he was featured on NBC’s Bring the Funny show as well as numerous comedy festivals across the globe.

He excels at mocking the absurdities of modern life by exploiting loopholes in social norms or legal procedures, such as taking advantage of Australians being barred from running for president due to being puppets (he explained this fact on his show Randy is Sober). For instance, only US citizens are legally eligible to run and Randy couldn’t due to being Australian).

He is an outspoken critic of celebrity culture, often making fun of how they live their lives. Additionally, he likes to parody popular apps such as Photo Booth by using it to spy on people while they’re away from their computer or upstaging his friends in real life with fake footage while they’re out and about or at work.

Although he’s a writer, he tends to be an immense procrastinator. At TEDx Melbourne conference he demonstrated this with an entire show dedicated to it; another show discussed his inability to finish books due to procrastination!

He uses humor to highlight his shortcomings and weaknesses, which makes him seem more relatable and human to audiences. A master of self-deprecation and humor, his acts have become ever more humorous with time – this unique and talented comedian should definitely not be missed!

Sebastian Bach has made his mark in the music industry through both bands and solo efforts, most notably as lead vocalist of heavy metal band Skid Row. His career spans over 30 years, as he still performs as both singer and actor.

Canadian-American musician Sebastian Bach has sold more than 20 million records worldwide both as part of Skid Row and on his own as an artist. As well as performing music, Bach has also appeared in multiple TV shows and Broadway productions, such as Gilmore Girls for five consecutive seasons as a regular player as well as roles in Trailer Park Boys among many others.

Bach began his musical journey at an early age. Starting out singing in Kid Wikkid at 14 was just the start; eventually the band disbanded, and he started performing weddings where he met members from Skid Row, who were so impressed with his performance they invited him to join their band!

After his debut album with Skid Row was released in 1989, Bach released additional albums with them before leaving to form his own solo project and release Bring ‘Em Bach Alive in 1997 – followed by Forever Wild in 2004 and Angel Down in 2007. Additionally, Bach joined Guns N’ Roses on their Chinese Democracy tour after reconciling with them.

With a long career spanning rock music and three solo albums to his credit – What Do I Got to Lose?, which was released this Thursday – Bach has produced many hit songs over his long and fruitful musical career. These collaborations include Orianthi (Alice Cooper, Michael Jackson) and Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge, Slash).

Former Skid Row frontman Skid Row also enjoys an acting career that includes roles on television shows such as Gilmore Girls and Trailer Park Boys. In 2006, he took part in VH1 show SuperGroup alongside musicians Ted Nugent, Scott Ian and Evan Seinfeld.

Singer Tony Bennett reportedly estimated to be worth approximately $11 Million. His assets include real estate in both the U.S. and Canada, classic cars collection, as well as Broadway performances like Jekyll & Hyde and Jesus Christ Superstar as well as guest appearances on numerous popular TV shows over the last decade.

21 Savage has quickly established himself as one of the most captivating rappers in hip hop, known for his imaginative wordplay and gangsterism. Additionally, he is deeply connected to Atlanta’s streets; during one drug deal that claimed the life of one of his closest friends. 21 Savage eventually recovered from this trauma to use his success to empower young people throughout Atlanta and beyond.

However, Slaughter Gang founder 21 Savage has faced one major obstacle on his journey to superstardom: being an undocumented immigrant from Britain fighting deportation ever since his arrest by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE). 21 Savage refused to allow this process affect either his music or message in any way and has continued defiantly singing about being undocumented and fighting deportation despite numerous arrests by ICE since February this year – spending weeks fighting deportation with no sign of surrender! 21 Savage remains defiant against his deportation proceedings while remaining defiant despite being arrested by ICE on February 5th 2016 and spent weeks fighting deportation proceedings since then – refusing to let anything influence either his message or music!

Danny Seth directed “A Lot,” his most recent video which marks a triumphant homecoming for the rapper who hadn’t visited London since age 12. This video highlights Brixton culture and community with its celebration.

The visual begins by projecting childhood photographs that provide insight into 21 Savage’s background, followed by an appreciation of London as it exists today, showing its iconic landmarks and celebrating its diverse heritage. We see 21 Savage interacting with locals while taking in all this city has to offer and giving back through his charitable works.

“A Lot” features 21 Savage rapping over an upbeat reggae-influenced beat and melodies. His hometown is celebrated here, while this song offers something fun for fans of all genres to groove to this summer.

21 Savage’s music draws heavily from street life; yet he is not afraid to reveal details of his personal life either. At one time, 21 was romantically involved with Amber Rose – an actress and model – but their romance eventually fizzled out in 2018. Additionally, 21 has undertaken many charitable endeavors that demonstrate his dedication to giving back. These include Issa Back to School Drive and 21 Savage Bank Account Campaign as two examples.

Oliver Hazard band’s music captures this spirit while adding their own creative twist that keeps audiences coming back even in smaller venues!

Michael Belazis, Griffin McCulloch, and Devin East met when each was returning home after traveling or working during their respective summer careers.

The Time Jumpers were founded in 1998 as a group of Nashville studio musicians who enjoyed jamming together. When country star Vince Gill joined in 2010, they started performing regularly Monday nights at Station Inn before outgrowing that venue and moving to 3rd & Lindsley.

Reba McEntire, Bonnie Raitt and Norah Jones often drop by to join this 10-man ensemble, making it a staple in Nashville. But their musicianship truly sets them apart as one of its own kind.

Western Swing

Western Swing quickly flourished during the 1930s from its roots in Frontier fiddle and cowboy culture, merging with turn of the century Ragtime, Plantation Blues, African American music such as boogie-woogie and Dixieland jazz; Nashville country music followed shortly thereafter followed by bee bop, Rockabilly and Rock and Roll were influenced by Western Swing.

Time Jumpers was founded in 1998 as an assembly of Nashville’s studio musicians. They quickly earned a weekly gig at Station Inn club on Monday nights before quickly outgrowing this venue and moving onto 3rd and Lindsley once their crowds became too large for it.

Grammy Award winner Vince Gill (vocals, acoustic rhythm guitar), Paul Franklin (steel guitar), “Ranger Doug” Green (upright bass), Brad Albin (bass guitar) and Kenny Sears (fiddles) comprise their current six-piece lineup. Recently they released the album Kid Sister as a memorial to Dawn Sears who passed away in 2014. Tonight at Wright-Patt they’ll bring their unique brand of Western Swing music!

Country

The Time Jumpers band stands out from many country music acts by having 500 years of combined musical experience behind them, rather than depending on youth- or the illusion thereof- to perform. Their Monday night residency at Nashville bluegrass spot Station Inn (and later 3rd and Lindsley) became one of Nashville’s hottest tickets, drawing in fans from near and far alike.

Beginning in 1998 with an ever-evolving lineup of top studio musicians who shared an affinity for Western swing dance music, today the 10 members of this band — “Ranger Doug” Green on vocals and acoustic rhythm guitar, Paul Franklin on steel guitar, Brad Albin on upright bass, Larry Franklin on fiddle, Andy Reiss on electric guitar and Joe Spivey as fiddler/vocalist — are dedicated to keeping this genre alive for future generations.

Blues

Blues music expresses feelings of sadness or melancholy through songs that typically use 12-bar structures and specific scales to elicit emotions such as melancholy. Contrasting with dance music that celebrates success, blues songs instead linger with listeners to explore themes of sorrow and struggle – unlike their dance counterparts which celebrate pleasure and success with loud celebrations of pleasure and success. Blues songs typically use specific scales that invoke feelings like melancholy.

Monday nights at 3rd and Lindsley are an incredible musical destination, featuring veteran industry musicians like Vince Gill, “Ranger Doug” Green, Brad Albin, Joe Spivey, Jeff Taylor and Billy Thomas – not forgetting several up-and-comers such as Brad Albin.

Wendy Moten joins the band with an eclectic vocal style and promises to rock any venue they play together. This combination will undoubtedly turn heads and draw crowds of all kinds when performing together at venues.

Jazz

Jazz music combines elements from various other styles into one genre, becoming famous for its improvisational nature and use of different timbres, syncopated rhythms and polyphonic ensemble playing.

The Time Jumpers band consists of world-class musicians residing in Nashville who make their living as session pickers. They first met while practicing Western swing music while performing as back up musicians for other stars on stage at Grand Ole Opry dressing room rehearsals.

They first performed at the Station Inn before moving to Nashville’s 3rd and Lindsley. Tennessean writer Juli Thanki described them as one of Nashville’s hottest shows – it has even attracted celebrities such as Joe Walsh, Robert Plant, Reba McEntire and Norah Jones who often show up to sit or hang out with them!

Pop

Since 2000, music fans visiting Nashville have planned their itinerary around Monday nights at 3rd & Lindsley to witness The Time Jumpers: an ensemble of world class musicians renowned for showcasing Music City‘s rich tradition of pickers jamming after work is finished. Although normally paid their bills with studio sessions or touring gigs, once every week The Time Jumpers come together for an incredible western swing show that leans heavily toward country, sometimes with special guests such as Sheryl Crow, Mo Pitney, Reba McEntire Robert Plant Delbert McClinton Norah Jones Joe Walsh among many others!

NCD recently caught up with Ranger Doug Green and members of The Time Jumpers — Paul Franklin on steel guitar, Brad Albin on bass and Billy Thomas on drums — to discuss their new album Kid Sister in memory of Dawn Sears who passed away from lung cancer last year.
