The Iridium has another eclectic lineup in store this February, as the legendary Manhattan music destination plays host to Jimmy Webb, Pat Travers, Mike Keneally (Zappa), Shemekia Copeland, an all-star tribute to Miles Davis, and much more. Be sure to check out Grammy-winner Steve Stevens, who closes out January with special guest Sebastian Bach 1/27-29 and the Les Paul Trio 1/30, and take a look at some of February's highlight shows:

Pat Travers (1/31-2/1): Pat Travers has released more than 30 albums since his 1976 self-titled debut, influencing countless guitarists along the way including Metallica's Kirk Hammet, who cites Travers as one of his favorites.

Mike Keneally (w/ Les Paul Trio 2/6, w/ Mike Keneally Band 2/7, w/ Ed Palermo Big Band 2/8): All things Zappa collide at The Iridium, as Zappa guitarist Mike Keneally performs three different shows in three nights: first with the Les Paul Trio, next with his own band, and finally a rare collaboration with the Ed Palermo Big Band on their critically acclaimed Zappa tribute show.

John Waite (2/12): Best known for his chart-topping hit "Missing You," which was subsequently recorded by Tina Turner, British-born John Waite has toured and recorded with acts as diverse as Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band and Alison Krauss.

Freda Payne (2/14-16): Prolific vocalist Freda Payne, who has shared the stage with everyone from Lionel Hampton and Sammy Davis Jr. to Quincy ]ones and Bill Cosby, returns to The Iridium for her annual Valentine's Day run.

Kind of Blue to Bitches Brew (2/17-19): Trumpeters Randy Brecker, Tom Harrell, and Tim Hagans join bassist Lonnie Plaxico and drummer Billy Drummond for an all-star tribute to one of the most influential figures in jazz history.

Jimmy Webb (2/22): Songwriter Jimmy Webb has composed countless American classics, including "Galveston," "By The Time I Get To Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," and "MacArthur Park." His songs have been recorded or performed by Glen Campbell, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes, Carly Simon, and many others.

Shemekia Copeland (2/25): Still in her 20's, Grammy-nominated blues belter Shemekia Copeland has already opened for the Rolling Stones and shared the stage with such luminaries as Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Taj Mahal and John Mayer.
