SUMMARY:Dylan Gossett - The Back 40 Tour
DESCRIPTION:Dylan Gossett is a 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Austin\, Texas. Gossett began writing and recording music during his early teen years using Garage Band on his mother’s computer. Throughout high school\, college at Texas A&M\, and a job at Formula 1 Racing\, music remained Gossett’s true passion. Inspired to finally release music by a new generation of singer- songwriters he saw emerging online\, Dylan began posting videos of his songs in April 2023 — immediately\, his music struck a chord with a global audience. \nGossett released his first single “To Be Free” (entirely self-written\, recorded\, produced\, and mixed in his bedroom) in June 2023. Shortly thereafter\, he teased a snippet of what would become his next song and breakout viral hit “Coal.” The video instantly took off\, gaining over one million views within the first week. He quickly got back into his bedroom and created the song from scratch before releasing it in July 2023. Since its release\, “Coal” has garnered over 400 million global streams\, received Platinum Certifications in the United States\, Australia\, Canada and Ireland\, debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and the Official Singles Chart Top 100 in the U.K.\, reached the Top Five on the Country Radio Chart in Australia\, and climbed the Spotify U.S. Top 200. The New York Times called “Coal” “one of the year’s best country songs\,” and Billboard declared\, “‘Coal’ and ‘To Be Free’ position Gossett as a formidable\, heart- on-his-sleeve singer-songwriter with immense potential.” \nIn October 2023\, Gossett released his highly anticipated debut EP No Better Time (also self- written\, recorded\, produced\, and mixed in his bedroom) via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records. The EP received a slew of critical acclaim from The New York Times\, Billboard\, Grammy.com\, Atwood Magazine\, MusicRow\, Holler\, Country Central\, and more. He then followed it up with his widely praised 2024 EP\, Songs In The Gravel\, which he wrote and self-produced\, while also teaming up with notable producers Eddie Spear and Ian Fitchuk on a few tracks. \nOn the touring front\, this fall Gossett embarked on his headlining The Back 40 Tour. Last spring\, his first-ever headline (and international) tour\, dubbed the No Better Time Tour\, sold-out immediately upon on-sale. Gossett has supported Noah Kahan in arenas across Australia\, and Morgan Wallen at Houston’s Minute Maid Park\, as well as opened for Wyatt Flores and Brent Cobb on their fall 2023 tours. This year\, Gossett’s festival trek includes debuts at SXSW\, CMA Fest\, Hangout Music Festival\, Tortuga Music Festival\, Two Step Inn Festival\, and more. \n\nSupport Artist: Tanner Usrey

SUMMARY:Classic Albums Live: Pink Floyd
DESCRIPTION:The Wall is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd\, released on 30 November 1979 by Harvest/EMI and Columbia/CBS Records. It is a rock opera which explores Pink\, a jaded rock star\, as he constructs a psychological “wall” of social isolation. The Wall topped the US charts for 15 weeks and reached number three in the UK. The Wall is one of the best-known concept albums. With over 30 million copies sold\, it is the second-best-selling Pink Floyd album behind The Dark Side of the Moon (1973)\, the best-selling double album of all time\, and one of the best-selling albums of all time. \nAbout Classic Albums Live \nFounded in 2003 by Craig Martin\, Classic Albums Live takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage – note for note\, cut for cut\, using the best musicians. “Think of it as a recital\,” says Martin\, “these albums are historic and stand the test of time.” Forgoing costumes and impersonations\, Classic Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the music; “We created something that endures and connects. These albums are sacred to people. We deliver exactly what we promote – ‘note for note\, cut for cut’ accuracy.” \nWith 100+ shows a year across North America\, Classic Albums Live has seen massive success in performing arts centres and theatres. Fans in Texas\, Florida\, California\, New York and central and east coast Canada have all continued to support the series and make it a sustaining\, successful show.
