With a catalog of over 60 albums and sales beyond 30 million worldwide, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to multiple generations. Lynyrd Skynyrd continues to build on the legacy that began over 40 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida. Their last album, Last of a Dyin’ Breed, debuted at #14 on the Billboard Top 200, making it their highest charting album since 1977. Led by core members Gary Rossington (guitar,) Johnny Van Zant (vocals,) and Rickey Medlocke (guitar,) along with longtime drummer Michael Cartellone, the band also includes Mark “Sparky” Matejka (guitar,) Johnny Colt (bass,) Peter Keys (keyboards,) Dale Krantz Rossington (Honkettes backing vocals,) and Carol Chase (Honkettes backing vocals.)

Peter Frampton remains one of the most celebrated artists and guitarists in rock history. At 16, he was lead singer and guitarist for British band the Herd. At 18, he co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie. His session work includes collaborations with such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, John Entwistle and many others. Frampton was recently inducted in the Musicians Hall of Fame, played an integral part in the 50th anniversary celebration of the Beatles’ arrival in the U.S. by performing on CBS’ “The Night That Changed America: A GRAMMY Salute to The Beatles.” His fifth solo album, the electrifying Frampton Comes Alive! is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and remains one of the top-selling live records of all time. In addition, he continues to tour non-stop including Frampton’s Guitar Circus and Peter Frampton Raw, An Acoustic Tour.

Members On Sale: Tuesday, March 8 at 9am
Public On Sale: Saturday, March 12 at 9am
Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music and has defined a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion, and personal politics. His laid-back, folk/rock style set the example for much of the music to come out of California during the 1970s. Unforgettable hits such as “Doctor My Eyes,” “Stay,” “Running on Empty,” “Somebody’s Baby,” and “Tender is the Night,” helped Browne earn his induction into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.

Gary Allan

Tickets: $69
Members On Sale: Tuesday, March 8 at 9am
Public On Sale: Saturday, March 12 at 9am
Largely considered a traditionalist country singer, Gary Allan’s distinctive sound has been compared to true Bakersfield country artists like Merle Haggard and Buck Owens — pure, dusty honky tonk and cracked, country ballads. Allan has produced seven Top Ten singles including “The One,” “Life Ain’t Always Beautiful,” and “Watching Airplanes,” and four hits that have reached #1 — “Man to Man,” “Tough Little Boys,” “Nothing On But the Radio,” and “Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain.)”

Relive the classic songs that epitomize the spirit of the California lifestyle. Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and the Beach Boys sing about sun, sand, surf, and a simpler time. The Beach Boys’ first hit “Surfin'” launched a string of chart-topping songs that span 50 years and includes eternal anthems of American youth — “Surfer Girl,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Good Vibrations,” “Rock and Roll Music,” “Kokomo,” and more.

Australian singer and actress Olivia Newton-John was one of the most successful vocalists of the 1970s. This four-time Grammy award winner landed five songs on the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts — “I Honestly Love You,” “Have You Never Been Mellow,” “You’re the One That I Want,” “Magic,” and “Physical.” Who can forget Olivia’s turn as Sandy in Grease, the international hit movie that also included the smash singles “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” and “Summer Nights.”

Styx

Public On Sale: Saturday, March 26 at 9am
Formed in a suburban Chicago basement in the early 1970s, Styx would eventually transform into one of the top arena rock acts in the US, due to their fondness for larger-than-life stage shows, huge rock anthems, and soaring power ballads. Styx draws from over four decades of barn-burning chart hits, joyous sing-a-longs, and hard-driving deep cuts. The band draws on an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one’s mind and body in their signature sound. These progressive rockers were responsible for many hit singles and classic rock radio standards including “Show Me the Way,” “The Best of Times,” “Mr. Roboto,” “Come Sail Away,” “Lady,” and “Babe.”

Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn is one of the classic country singers, racking up over 70 hits as a solo artist and duet partner. Her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock, and country fans alike. Classic country fans will surely remember some of Loretta’s greatest hits — “Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind,)” “She’s Got You,” “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man” and, of course, “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” This Grammy winner has journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon.
