FRIDAY
Steep Canyon Rangers
The Grammy-winning bluegrass outfit known for their collaborations with actor-comedian Steve Martin will bring their fusion of string-based music to the stage.

Last week, the singer-songwriter kicked off a 45-date tour in support of “Daylight,” her first new album in four years. Potter is joined onstage by longtime lead guitarist Benny Yurco, as well as multi-instrumentalist Eliza Hardy Jones, bassist Kurtis Keber and drummer Jordan West.

MxPx
For nearly 30 years, the Washington state-based group have blasted their punk sensibilities to revolving generations. Though they shed the Christian overtones several years ago, the band’s musical muscularity is intact. In 2018, MxPx released a self-titled, crowdfunded album.

Dubbed “No Place Like Home,” the show will feature hip-hop superstar Future and the burgeoning Lil Baby, who is readying the release of his album, “My Turn.”
