Founding members, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate Dan Peek) harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature song A Horse With No Name. America became a global household name and paved the way with an impressive string of hits including I Need You, Ventura Highway, Don't Cross The River, Tin Man, and Lonely People to name a few. Forty plus years later, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound.

Celebrate Hanukkah with Matisyahu in an evening of holiday celebration, mixed with such hits as King Without A Crown, Live Like A Warrior, Sunshine, and One Day. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of his breakthrough album, Live at Stubb's, Matisyahu has taken a new look at the music that first made his reputation in Live at Stubb's III: A 10-Year Journey. In two stripped-back sit-down shows in March of 2015, Matisyahu performed new arrangements of his early reggae hits from the original album, along with a selection of later favorites up through Akeda. This tour reconnects Matisyahu with long-time musical collaborators and friends from his early touring days, including Live at Stubb's guitarist Aaron Dugan. Matisyahu and his band will present an evening of stripped-back arrangements highlighting the music that launched his career while taking fans of all ages on a journey through the evolution of Live at Stubb's to his most recent release Akeda.
