Jonathan Tyler w/ Special Guest Joshua Ray Walker
2021-07-15 19:00
Thursday, 15 July 2021, 6:00pm. The Ector Theatre , Odessa [All Ages]
“Rock ‘n’ roll, blues, and country are the same thing, just wearing different clothes.”
To define Jonathan Tyler’s music would be doing it a disservice. To call it blues would be betraying the uplifting joy of tunes like “Underground Forever” or “California Sunshine.” To call it rock ‘n’ roll wouldn’t do justice to the burning meditation of songs like “Late Night Special” or “Hey Mama, My Time Ain’t Long.” To call it country would be neglecting the sound and fury of “Mister Resistor” or the time-traveling catharsis of “Everything Was Cool in 2002.” Jonathan Tyler’s music defies expectation or sonic categorization – his music is the purest expression of everything you feel but don’t know how to express. It’s as friendly as a neighborhood saloon, as pensive as a highway to Paris, Texas, as peaceful as the waters flowing through the Pecos river to the sea, and as grand and evocative as the endless blue skies of the American west.
If there’s a single label that might be able to wrangle Tyler’s universal soul, it’s Gram Parson’s iconic classification of his own style: “Cosmic American Music.”
A Texan since childhood, Jonathan Tyler has grown up enamored with the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll – and its ancestors. In 2007 he formed Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights, who released their debut full-length album Hot Trottin’ to widespread acclaim. At the 2009 Dallas Observer Music Awards, Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights walked away with “Best Group,” “Best Blues Act,” and “Best Male Vocalist.” Tyler would go on to win the latter award again the following year. The band was promptly signed to F-Stop/Atlantic Records and released Pardon Me in 2010, leading to television appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Gordon Keith Show, as well as tours supporting ZZ Top, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Black Crowes, and appearances at the Bonnaroo Music Festival and Austin City Limits. In 2015, he released his debut solo album Holy Smokes – a genre-bending opus celebrating perseverance in the face of life’s twists and turns.
Along the way, he’s mastered the art of the sounds between the sounds – honing his role behind the boards as a producer for Nikki Lane, Desure, Jeff Crosby and others. At the moment he’s working on a follow-up to Holy Smokes, featuring hit singles like “Old Friend,” “Underground Forever,” and “Hustlin.”

Howard and David continue to prove that the trail they’ve ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself—music that is now celebrating 40 years of success.
The road that started on the pop music charts in the ‘70’s, took a winding turn into country music in the ‘80’s, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich, and previously—The Judds. But before the road forked into country, the musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the ’70’s pop music culture of L.A.

Chingo Bling
2021-07-17 19:00
Saturday, 17 July 2021, 6:00pm. The Ector Theatre , Odessa [All Ages]
Chingo bling can be called a lot of things; A rapper, actor, producer, comedian, and social media phenomenon are just but a few of them. At the core of it all, you can call him an entertainer.

Chingo bling found his calling when he started broadcasting on his college radio station. He loved the idea of speaking to large audiences and made it his mission to be heard and seen by as many people as possible. He also found a knack for creating music, so he focused his efforts on building a career in music and was signed to a major record label. With a now sizable street cred, he began to explore his comedic voice. He launched his YouTube page and created his social media presence as a way for him to showcase his unique Mexican-american humor. In celebrating this, his star has grown and is just now beginning to shine.
Due to popular demand, he has hit the road and bringing live, stand-up comedy to sold out showrooms all over the USA. Chingo bling has also filmed his first comedy special for the mitú network that is now streaming on Netflix.

Stairway to Zeppelin
2021-07-22 18:00
Stairway To Zeppelin is becoming the #1 Led Zeppelin Tribute in the world delivering Led Zeppelin’s to-the-note studio and live recordings by four incredible musicians.
Stairway To Zeppelin performs a show with visual effects and the latest in sound technology at low decibels with an unparalleled attention to a mix of the original recordings and live performances of the iconic Led Zeppelin.
The charisma and musicianship in STZ is world-class bringing the goose-bump-excitement to the audience musically and visually.
BTW NO Wigs! STZ does not distract from this most iconic music by trying to be Page or Plant with mimicked gestures or mannerisms. Can you imagine a symphony performing Mozart where the pianist is trying to act like Mozart?
STZ’s Nashville based members resumes include Heart, REO Speedwagon, Wilco, The Black Crowes, Fee Waybill/The Tubes, Richard Marx, Garth Brooks, Jewel, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flats, Autograph, Quiet Riot…
TV/Film credits; David Grohl’s film ‘Sound City’, Pepsi Co/Gatorade, The Brothers Osborne…
Prepare to be transported to a time when rock ruled the world! You will surely agree that Stairway To Zeppelin is the #1 Led Zeppelin Tribute you’ve ever seen performed by four amazing musicians.
