SUMMARY:HARDY: THE COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR!
DESCRIPTION:HARDY is taking his COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR! to The Orion Amphitheater stage on Friday\, May 22\, 2026.  \nDATE AND TIMESFriday\, May 22\, 2026Apollo South Open: 5 PMDoors Open: 5:30 PMShow Time: 7 PM \nThe sound is big. The towns are small. And the name is HARDY. \nBig Loud artist HARDY grew up on classic rock in Philadelphia\, Miss.\, a town of about 7\,500 in the country setting of Neshoba County. So when fans hear the music on his four-song EP for the label\, This Ole Boy\, they’re getting the real deal. The songs are bold and proud\, the voice is commanding and the lyrics are centered on farms\, in the backwoods and mostly in America’s heartland. \n“I love that lifestyle\, and that’s what I want to talk about\,” he says unapologetically. “I’m not really a love song dude. If I’m going down that road\, it’s a song like ‘This Ole Boy’ where it’s a redneck-in-love kind of thing. People that are like me\, or people who still live in small towns\, still love that and want to hear that. That’s why I’m who I am as an artist.”HARDY’s artistic identity is notably focused on This Ole Boy. His voice is gritty in “4×4\,” soulful in the background vocals of “This Ole Boy” and edgy in the stack of HARDY harmonies in “Rednecker.” The productions’ mix of swamp rock and country walks a line between strutting sarcasm and communal congeniality. And the incessant word play – where else does “quatro” rhyme with “macho?” – marks HARDY as a smart guy with an uncommon sense of humor. \nSome of those traits are a direct result of his songwriting prowess. HARDY moved to Nashville to pursue the elusive art of matching words with chords and melodies\, and 2018 became a breakthrough year for him. He was one of three writers on the Morgan Wallen/Florida Georgia Line collaboration “Up Down\,” a #1 platinum-selling country single built on HARDY’s original idea: “We live it up down here.” He snagged another hit as a co-writer of FGL’s “Simple.” And he took part in Seth Ennis’ “Call Your Mama\,” a lump-in-your-throat ballad that started its chart journey in fall 2018. \nIn fact\, HARDY was so focused on writing that he didn’t really pursue his budding recording career. It actually came looking for him. FGL’s Tyler Hubbard and the duo’s producer\, Joey Moi\, were both convinced there was a place for his talent in the marketplace and offered to help him make it happen. \nPerhaps unintentionally – perhaps on purpose – FGL helped him say yes by putting HARDY on stage three different times during its 2018 summer tour. He hit the road several weekends to write with the duo\, and they brought him out to take Wallen’s “Up Down” part at the Country Stampede in Manhattan\, Kansas; the Country LakeShake in Chicago; and the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. HARDY was amped and animated in the role\, as if he’d been playing in front of thousands for years. And the crowd reaction sealed the deal. \n“Playing those places and those people singing back to you\, that whole thing put it in perspective\,” he says. “That is an incredible feeling. It’s just unexplainable.” \nFortunately\, HARDY comes to the table as an artist with a strong view of who he is\, thanks to his experiences in Mississippi. Philadelphia spawned two previous country music successes – Grand Ole Opry member Marty Stuart and songwriter/producer Derek George (Bryan White\, Randy Houser) – and they certainly showed it was possible to make it in the business. But HARDY’s original exposure to music came from his dad\, who consistently had classic rock blasting when he took his son on the 15-mile commute from the house to the family’s chicken farm and back. HARDY pitched in on a job that was brutal to the senses – “I don’t even think I could go in a chicken house now\,” he says – but he learned the value of hard work. And the exposure to smart hooks and distinct musical identities of the music his father listened to made a permanent imprint. \n“I like Pink Floyd a lot\,” HARDY says. “They’re my favorite band. Thanks to my dad\, I loved The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon growing up\, and once I got older\, I realized how metaphorical and parallel their writing is\, and how you understand it. I really appreciate\, in all genres\, creativity that sonically nobody has ever heard before.” \nHis dad took him to his first two concerts – Aerosmith\, in Birmingham\, Alabama\, in 1999; and KISS\, in Jackson\, Mississippi\, in 2000 – but when HARDY wrote his first song at age 18\, it set him on the path toward making music a vocation. That initial composition\, “Caroline\,” had the singer meeting a girl in a grocery store and obsessing about her\, even though he would never encounter her again. \n“It was just so simple and not thought out\,” he says with a laugh. “There were little holes in the storyline. It’s interesting to think about it looking back now.” \nBut it got a reaction. His parents\, of course\, liked it. And when he played it for a few classmates at junior college\, they liked it\, too. HARDY started playing it at parties and creating a little buzz\, though it was the only song he knew. That spurred him to write a few more. \nWhen he heard Eric Church’s “Homeboy\,” HARDY realized that rock had found a new home in country music\, and it created a deeper appreciation for the genre\, which had always been there in the background in Philadelphia. \nMeanwhile\, HARDY’s sister – Nashville makeup artist Madison Hardy Dennis – was going to school at Music City’s Belmont University\, and when he visited her in February 2010\, the experience was life-changing.“Music was everywhere – I had no idea\,” he remembers. “That’s when I found out about publishing deals and that you could make a living writing songs. That was over one weekend\, so when I went back home I told my mom\, ‘Hey\, I’m moving to Nashville.’” \nHARDY enrolled in the Recording Industry Management program at Middle Tennessee State University and majored in songwriting\, mentored by instructor Rick Carnes\, who composed Garth Brooks’ “Longneck Bottle\,” The Whites’ “Hangin’ Around” and Reba McEntire’s “Can’t Even Get The Blues.” HARDY periodically posted performances of his own songs on social media\, and another relative – Dennis Matkosky\, first cousin to HARDY’s grandfather – reached out. Matkosky was an established songwriter\, known for Michael Sembello’s “Maniac\,” Keith Urban’s “You’ll Think Of Me” and LeAnn Rimes’ “I Need You.” Matkosky liked HARDY’s work\, and within a few months\, he signed HARDY to his own independent publishing company. \nHARDY met FGL’s Tyler Hubbard at a parking lot party on Music Row in 2012\, right as “Cruise” was being released\, and didn’t see him again for several years. In the meantime\, HARDY landed cuts by Tyler Farr and Walker McGuire\, and when he got a chance to start writing with FGL at their concert sites on the road\, his acquaintance with Hubbard turned into a full-fledged friendship. Beginning in January 2017\, he was a frequent sidekick on tour\, writing with them on their bus during the day before their concerts. In fact\, “Throwback” – the newest song on This Ole Boy – was written on the bus at the Iowa State Fair in August 2018\, just weeks before the EP’s release. \nThe release provides a strong base point for HARDY as an artist\, representative of the hard-edged music\, the easy-going people and the slow-changing nature of the world at the heart of a rural community.“A lot of where I pull from is just being from a small town\,” he says. “People live a little slower and a little more behind\, whether that’s a good thing or bad thing.” \nWith This Ole Boy\, HARDY provides a solid opening salvo to establish himself as an artist\, honed in on the sounds and stories at the core of his Southern heritage. But it’s just a starting point\, a place to launch an artist whose combination of country imagery\, Southern rock sounds and blue-collar vocals is intrinsically relatable. \n“This stuff is my favorite and the most true to me\,” he says\, “but we will mix it up along the way\, slowly but surely. I don’t want to scare anybody off\, but we’ll give a taste here and there and hopefully by the end it will be a well-rounded sound.” \nA big sound. About small towns. A HARDY representation. \nTickets: https://theorionhuntsville.com.

SUMMARY:Sam Barber
DESCRIPTION:Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Sam Barber takes The Orion Amphitheater stage on Saturday\, May 16\, 2026.  \nDATE AND TIMESSaturday\, May 16\, 2026Apollo South Open: 5 PMDoors Open: 5:30 PMShow Time: 7 PM \nMulti-platinum singer-songwriter Sam Barber captures the experience\, uncertainty\, wisdom\, and promise of coming-of-age on his 2025 EP\, Music for the Soul . \nEmpathetic songwriting\, eloquent instrumentation\, and a downright spirit-shaking voice brought him from a farm in Missouri to the doorstep of superstardom. Following the breakout success of his 2024 debut album\, Restless Mind\, the new EP chronicles how he got here and where he’s headed next. Beyond the acclaimed immediate fan favorite “Man of the Year\,” the single “Home Tonight” layers his gritty full-bodied vocals above naked acoustic guitar staring down unrepentant loneliness and unrequited love. The title track “Music for the Soul” wrestles with fame\, and “Same Sad Shit” addresses anxiety and depression. He wrote on every tune\, collaborating with producers Joe Becker and Ryan Hewitt at studios in Nashville\, TN\, and Bozeman\, MT. Prior\, Sam delivered the 2x RIAA Platinum certified “Straight and Narrow\,” “Better Year\,” and “Indigo (Feat. Avery Anna)\,” gathering more than 2 billion streams to date and selling out headline tours across the globe.

SUMMARY:2026 Huntsville Classic featuring Rob Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Rob Thomas still pushes himself to progress as both a performer and a songwriter. \nEven after achieving sales of 80 million records worldwide between his solo output\, Matchbox Twenty\, and various collaborations\, generating billions of streams\, and entertaining millions of fans on the road\, a restless burst of inspiration unflinchingly drives him to create. It’s the same spirit that has cemented him as a generational artist. On his sixth full-length solo album All Night Days\, he continues to pen honest songs about life and love that always seem to hit you at the right moment when you need them the most. \n“Dude\, I’m just a fucking middle-aged dad who’s still trying to write the perfect song\,” he laughs. “At the core of it\, my wife\, son\, and family are more important than anything\, but music helps me get through life. I don’t have a hobby. This is what calms me. This is what gets me excited. This is where everything goes to. I don’t feel much differently mentally than I did at 30. I love it as much as ever.” \nThat passion has defined his expansive catalog. Beyond Matchbox Twenty smashes such as “Push\,” “3AM\,” “If You’re Gone\,” “Bent\,” and more\, he has delivered a series of solo hits\, including “Lonely No More\,” “This Is How A Heart Breaks\,” and “Street Corner Symphony.” He elevated into the stratosphere alongside Santana on “Smooth\,” which garnered three GRAMMY® Awards and went triple-platinum. As a solo artist\, Rob has notched three consecutive Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200\, beginning with his now-classic double-platinum #1 debut album …Something To Be. Most recently\, 2019’s Chip Tooth Smile bowed in the Top 15. Plus\, it incited the applause of Rolling Stone\, Billboard\, Good Morning America\, and ABC’s Nightline who professed\, “No matter your age group or musical taste – or whether you even realize it – you’re probably familiar with Rob Thomas’ music.” He stands out as the first artist to receive the Songwriter Hall of Fame’s coveted “Hal David Starlight Award” in addition to garnering numerous BMI and ASCAP Awards. Giving back at every turn\, he also notably co-founded the Sidewalk Angels Foundation alongside his wife Marisol Thomas.

SUMMARY:CAKE
DESCRIPTION:Originally formed as a somewhat antagonistic answer to grunge\, CAKE’s defiant self-reliance and lucid yet ever-inventive music has made them a nation-state unto themselves with no evident peers in sound or perspective. \nCAKE’s most recent album\, Showroom of Compassion\, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and was touted as “deadpan brilliance” by The New Yorker Magazine. \nWhile seamlessly blending numerous genres and influences\, CAKE issues forth a sound and vision unlike any other band. CAKE is currently at work on their ninth album due for release during autumn 2025. \nThe band recently contributed a new song —“Hold You (Responsible)” —to the Noise For Now compilation album SONGS FOR SEX\, an artist response to Project 2025. The compilation album supports the importance of standing up for bodily autonomy\, reproductive freedoms and personal privacy. The band was grateful for the chance to fight for reproductive rights for all citizens. \nAdditionally\, ahead of a recent show in San Antonio\, the band stopped by the Texas Public Radio station to record a song for a “Live From the Freight Elevator” session performing the new song titled\, “Billionaire in Space” also set to be included on CAKE’s new album to be released next year. Lead vocalist John McCrea shared that “’Billionaire in Space’ is an observation\, really of all billionaires\, and the economic imbalance that we have been lulled into accepting as the norm. It is a song about being left behind.” \nTickets: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.axs.com%2Fevents%2F1171665%2Fcake-tickets%3Fskin%3Dorionamphitheater%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExSWFSQTdPOUpTV2REY2ZDQXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6UvllHkG-SkTRsqmsBkjKKIbyKJ8YKge8o1fJvS9IVoBGSIZ9KkeTLPiFOrw_aem_ow4tH5BJj6qf1aORyMh24A&h=AT3LHHZ-HThso-R3jhUaBoT6gyBsXntCF8E6xomhexcTJRE7I9FycG3YXnbPUJZBzKEFl7hVpKxWbm5a7d79ZOrz0H0A-pUK4LHUTAMbrX8QBQuFUSCRx0BkiABV2Q22Gz00M8ecx90cn9kM3G8.

SUMMARY:ZZ Top & Dwight Yoakam - Dos Amigos Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tickets on sale Friday\, November 21\, 2025 at 10 AM CT via theorionhuntsville.com\nApollo South Opens: 5 PMDoors Open: 5:30 PMShow Starts: 7 PM\nABOUT ZZ TOP\n“That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” has been at it for well over a half century\, delivering rock\, blues and boogie on the road and in the studio to millions of devoted fans. With iconography as distinctive as their sound\, ZZ TOP is virtually synonymous with beards\, hotrod cars\, spinning guitars and that magic keychain\, all of which transcend geography and language.\nIt was in Houston in the waning days of 1969 that ZZ TOP coalesced from the core of two rival bands\, Billy Gibbons’ Moving Sidewalks and Frank Beard and Dusty Hill’s American Blues. Their third album\, 1973’s Tres Hombres\, catapulted them to national attention with the hit “La Grange\,” still one of the band’s signature pieces today. Eliminator\, their 1983 album was something of a paradigm shift for ZZ TOP. Their roots blues skew was intact but added to the mix were tech-age trappings that soon found a visual outlet with such tracks as “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs” on the nascent MTV. It was one of the music industry’s first albums to have been certified Diamond\, far beyond Gold and Platinum and a reflection of US domestic sales exceeding 10 million units.\nAs a touring entity\, they’ve been without peer over the past five decades\, having performed before millions of fans on four continents and have been the subject of their own Grammy-nominated documentary titled That Little Ol’ Band From Texas. The band’s line-up of the bearded Gibbons and Hill and Beard\, who ironically is clean shaven\, remained intact for more than 50 years until Dusty’s passing. When Dusty temporarily departed the tour in the summer of 2021\, it was a given that Elwood would be the perfect choice to stand in for Dusty until he could return. But Dusty’s return was not to be\, and Elwood continues to handle the bass duties for the band now and into the future.\nThe elements that keep ZZ TOP fresh\, enduring and above the transitory fray can be summed up in the three words of the band’s internal mantra: “Tone\, Taste and Tenacity.”. As genuine roots musicians\, they have few peers. Their influences are both the originators of the form – Muddy Waters\, B.B. King\, et al – as well as the British blues rockers and Jimi Hendrix who emerged the generation before ZZ’s ascendance.\nThey have sold hundreds of millions of records over the course of their career\, have been officially designated as Heroes of The State of Texas\, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (by Keith Richards\, no less) and have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms. They are true rock icons and\, against all odds\, they’re really just doing what they’ve always done. ZZ TOP abides!\nABOUT DWIGHT YOAKAM\nDwight Yoakam is a legendary artist whose influence has reshaped the landscape of country music and beyond. With over 25 million albums sold worldwide\, he is a 21-time GRAMMY® nominee and multiple GRAMMY® Award winner. His catalog includes 12 gold albums and 9 platinum or multi-platinum releases\, with five topping Billboard Country Albums chart and 14 landing in the Top 10. Nearly 40 of his singles have charted on Billboard\, including 14 Top 10 hits.\nA recipient of the Americana Music Association’s Artist of the Year award and BMI Country Music’s President’s Award\, the highest honors bestowed by each organization\, Yoakam was also inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019.\nHis latest release\, Brighter Days (Via Records/Thirty Tigers)\, marks his first new album in nine years. Released in November 2024\, the album was written and recorded over a three-year period and features twelve brand-new songs written or co-written by Yoakam. It also includes three seemingly disparate covers: “Keep On the Sunny Side” by the Carter Family\, “Bound Away” by Cake\, and “Time Between” by Chris Hillman of The Byrds\, artfully woven into the same body of work in the unmistakable style that could only be Dwight Yoakam.\nA passionate curator of musical heritage\, Yoakam launched his SiriusXM channel Dwight Yoakam and The Bakersfield Beat: Where Country Went Mod in 2018\, spotlighting the Bakersfield sound and its far-reaching influence. The channel celebrates the Bakersfield sound and those whom it has inspired. Guests have included Post Malone\, Lukas Nelson\, Beck\, Chris Hillman\, Jakob Dylan\, and Jackie DeShannon.\nIn 2016\, Yoakam released Swimmin’ Pools\, Movie Stars…\, on Sugar Hill Records. Featuring a band of bluegrass luminaries\, this album boasts a collection of reinterpreted favorites from his catalogue\, as well as a cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain”. Produced by nine-time GRAMMY® winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss\, Dolly Parton)\, Jon Randall (songwriter of “Whiskey Lullaby”)\, and Yoakam himself\, and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge\, this album reflects the love for bluegrass music that Yoakam developed at an early age in Kentucky and that has inspired him for many years thereafter. In 2018\, Yoakam released two songs\, “Pretty Horses” and “Then Came Monday” (the latter written with Chris Stapleton).\nYoakam is a multifaceted artist\, seamlessly blending his musical talents with a robust acting career. He has appeared in over 40 feature films\, including notable roles in Sling Blade (1996) and Panic Room (2002). He later reunited with Billy Bob Thornton for David E. Kelley’s Amazon series Goliath. Yoakam portrayed Warden Burns in Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Lucky (2017) alongside Channing Tatum and Daniel Craig and took on the role of Howard Polk in Clint Eastwood’s Cry Macho (2021). Throughout his career\, he has demonstrated his acting range alongside acclaimed actors such as Jodie Foster\, Tommy Lee Jones\, Jared Leto\, Forest Whitaker\, and Matthew McConaughey.\nWhether on stage\, in the studio\, or on screen\, Yoakam continues to evolve as one of the most compelling and culturally significant artists of our time.\nTickets: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.axs.com%2Fevents%2F1227363%2Fzz-top-dwight-yoakam-tickets%3Fskin%3Dorionamphitheater%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExb01kazl0dENISWtZU2lCbXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5cdOx4c3RfQwMc5b9cI_sDxfG0LTT__H_J4kxnHFUVvrLcLNMR4KNpfiQijw_aem_Ntfcl_WRRq4xZEsxySWIkw&h=AT0Unk_7qhru-MchaKGIMMtW-YkaaXtlAzm4jY5ghXyennuDgYhuu24-u2gb3Cx1MjQMGOZn57c-dYoxMjQ-d2VYNCzlmBgHfYgO83ekvlrwHjqBz9U8UqlZjCaxrI-IiylHhXL9UW6TEUmYQD0.
