Long before the HBO specials\, before the Sirius XM airplay\, before the sold out theaters coast to coast\, this man packed every room in your backyard under a different name: THE MIDNIGHT SWINGER.

When that loyal customer urged our programming team to take a hard look at a comedian called SHOWTIME D. SCOTT\, they started digging\, and stopped cold when they realized what they’d found. There he was. The elusive MR. SHOWTIME\, David Scott. The Midnight Swinger\, all grown up and more electrifying than ever. \nThe unicorn had been found. And this August\, he’s yours. \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have your tickets ready upon arrival.

SUMMARY:Trapper Schoepp's Tom Petty Tribute
DESCRIPTION:A new generation of Heartbreakers will soon take our stage—led by Wisconsin singer-songwriter Trapper Schoepp. \n“For me\, it’s about being a link in the chain of musicians before and after my time\,” Trapper says. “Tom Petty’s music has been a soundtrack through much of my life\, and bringing his songs to life is a joy—for me and for audiences.” \nBacked by a four-piece band\, Trapper delivers the full range of the Tom Petty catalog—from the fired-up urgency of “American Girl” and “Refugee” to the intimate beauty of “Wildflowers” and “Walls.” The performances honor the spirit\, swing\, and soul of the originals while allowing the band’s chemistry and care to shine through. \nSchoepp’s connection to Petty’s world runs deep. His latest album\, Siren Songs\, was recorded at Johnny Cash’s historic Cash Cabin—the same space where Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers served as Cash’s backing band on the Grammy-winning Unchained (American Recordings II). He has also released tender\, atmospheric recordings of “Free Fallin’” and “Walls\,” further cementing his reputation as a thoughtful interpreter of Petty’s work. \nBeyond the tribute\, Schoepp brings an acclaimed original career. In 2019\, he released a long-lost song co-written with Bob Dylan\, making him the youngest artist to share a writing credit with the Nobel Prize laureate. The release sparked a #1 trending article in Rolling Stone and led to over 100 tour dates worldwide. \nSchoepp has released five albums\, collaborating with members of Wilco\, The Raconteurs\, and The Jayhawks. PBS praised his songs as “story songs that explore and explode the conventions of rock and roll\,” while Rolling Stone France called his work a “charming 100% Americana opus.” \nAn international touring artist\, Schoepp has shared stages with The Wallflowers\, Three Dog Night\, Old 97’s\, The Jayhawks\, and Frank Turner\, performing at iconic venues including New York’s Town Hall\, Los Angeles’ Roxy Theatre\, and SXSW. \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have ticket ready upon arrival.

SUMMARY:Albert Cummings with special guest Maple Road Blues
DESCRIPTION:Albert Cummings is an American blues guitarist\, singer\, and songwriter whose commanding guitar work and soulful vocals have made him a standout in the contemporary blues scene. Born and raised in Massachusetts\, Cummings developed a deep passion for music at an early age\, beginning on the banjo and bluegrass before being captivated by the electric blues influences of legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan\, B.B. King\, and Jimi Hendrix. \nAlthough trained as a builder and master carpenter\, Cummings’ musical path took shape with his first public blues performance in the late 1990s and his debut album\, The Long Way\, released independently in 2000 with his band Swamp Yankee. His dynamic fusion of blues\, rock\, and storytelling soon drew attention. When members of Vaughan’s former rhythm section—bass legend Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton—volunteered to play on his 2003 solo debut From the Heart\, the blues world took notice. \nSigning with the revered blues label Blind Pig Records\, Cummings released albums such as True to Yourself (2004) and Working Man (2006)\, the latter cementing his reputation as a touring force and recording artist of significant range and impact. Over the years\, he has shared stages with blues luminaries such as B.B. King\, Johnny Winter\, and Buddy Guy\, further broadening his musical reach. \nIn his later work\, Cummings continues to evolve. Albums like Believe (2020) and TEN (2022) showcase a deeper sonic palette while remaining rooted in the soul of the blues. His most recent release\, Strong (2024)\, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart\, further underscoring his status as a modern torchbearer for the genre and a master craftsman of heartfelt\, high-energy blues. \nMaple Road Blues Band:\nBy presenting an eclectic blend of blues\, rock\, and folk jams\, Maple Road is a band that does not fall short of keeping an audience entertained and intrigued.  While honoring musical heroes and legends\, the group also strives to craft original and memorable tunes that allow each band member and the audience to interpret the music. \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have tickets ready upon arrival.
