Max Gomez with Special Guest Cavour

Brewery Arts Center 449 W King Street, Carson City, NV, United States

Singer/Songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country blues early on and developed a songwriting style that was uniquely his. He received critical acclaim upon the release of his debut album Rule The World (2013, New West Records); and his subsequent EP, Me and Joe (2017, Brigadoon Records), contained a freshly minted classic, “Make It Me,” which has gained over 4 million listeners on Spotify alone.

As a budding performer, Max apprenticed in the rarefied musical micro-climate of northern New Mexico, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a Western folk sound both cosmic and country.

He has shared billing on hundreds of stages with genre stalwarts like James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Tommy James & The Shondells, Jeff Beck, and Johnny Depp. Judging by the company he keeps, Gomez is poised to emerge as a prominent voice of Americana’s next generation. The forthcoming album, Memory Mountain, will be released in fall 2024.

Joe Bonamassa

GSR 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV, United States

Hailed internationally as one of the greatest guitar players of his generation, Guitar Magazine even dubbed bluesman Joe Bonamassa as “the world’s biggest blues guitarist.”

Bonamassa debuted at just twelve years old, when he was opening for giants like B.B. King in 1989, playing more than 20 shows on the weekends only - because he still had school.

He didn’t stay unknown for long. He has shattered all expectations with 27 #1 Billboard blues albums, more than any other artist in recorded history.

In a 2008 interview with British newspaper Express and Star, Bonamassa said, “When I heard Rod Sewart and the Jeff Beck Group singing, Let Me Love You, it changed my life. I knew exactly what I wanted to do.”

In his now 35-year career, Bonamassa has snagged three Grammy nominations for Best Blues Album (2013), Best Traditional Blues Album (2016), and Best Contemporary Blues Album (2022).

Get ready for a truly unique blues experience with fan favorites like Happier Times, Redemption, Woke Up Dreaming, Blue and Evil, and more.

Pablo Cruise Live: Rockin’ the Swan Music Hall

Nashville Social Club 1105 South Carson Street, Carson City, NV, United States

Fast forward 20 years…. In 2005 a reunited Pablo Cruise picked up where they left off and today the band performs all over the U.S. and Canada and they’re enjoying it more than ever… Since getting back together, they have released two live CD’s and a DVD all through Sony Music documenting their exceptional live shows. During the Pandemic the boys wrote and produced a new single (through Sony) entitled “Breathe” which received considerable critical reviews! One of the great things about playing shows after all these years, is that primary songwriters David Jenkins and Cory Lerios are still on board! “Cory says, going out and playing shows these days, gives us the opportunity to not only pay tribute to our timeless repertoire, it also gives us a chance to see old friends and fans from back in the day, as well as gaining a whole new audience!” Today Pablo Cruise is bringing more energy and excitement to the stage than ever before and with the addition of Larry Antonino (bass, vocals), Robbie Wyckoff (vocals, percussion) and Sergio Gonzalez (drums, percussion) the band has never sounded better! If you get an opportunity to see Pablo Cruise live, don’t pass it up……IT’S GOOD TO BE LIVE!
