Joshua Ray Walker is a Dallas-born Country/Americana songwriter known for vivid, character-driven storytelling and a rich tenor that blends classic Texas tradition with a modern emotional edge. 

His sixth studio album, Ain’t Dead Yet, marks his most personal chapter to date. Recorded before, during, and after cancer treatment, (including sessions the day before lung surgery that could have permanently altered his voice), the record wrestles with mortality, gratitude, memory, and transformation. Sonically rooted in pedal steel, fiddle, and Walker’s signature guitar picking, it captures an artist confronting uncertainty with defiance , clarity, and hard-won joy.

Some things in life just keep giving year after year. In the rock n’ roll world, it is the music of AC/DC. From the early days with Bon Scott to the modern era with Brian Johnson, AC/DC delivers the goods. Pure and simple.

AC/DC fans can celebrate because Noise Pollution pays tribute to the Aussie heavy weights of rock n’ roll. Based in San Diego, Noise Pollution delivers an amazing replication of the AC/DC concert experience from both the Bon Scott and Brian Johnson periods. Fronted by Syd (Brian) Ross on vocals and Nick (Angus) Torri on lead guitar, Noise Pollution presents a chronological look into the music of AC/DC. Because of the monumental nature of AC/DC vocals and guitar work, this is a rare and impressive accomplishment.

Doors at 7 pm, show starts at 8 pm for this 21 and over event.

Kiwi singer/songwriter Hannah Harding, better known by her nom de plume, Aldous Harding, first drew praise for the gothic indie folk and stark emotionality of her 2015 debut that brought about comparisons to both Kate Bush and Scott Walker. Later outings like Party (2017) and Designer (2019) adopted a more off-kilter indie pop approach that evoked names like Cate Le Bon and Nico.
