Johnny Folsom 4<\/h1>\n

From\u00a0A Boy Named Sue\u00a0<\/em>to\u00a0Ring of Fire<\/em>, the\u00a0Johnny Folsom 4<\/em>\u00a0pays tribute to the legendary Man in Black.<\/p>\n

Lead singer David Burney brings a lilting southern baritone to Cash\u2019s classic songs which hits the mark well enough that you will wonder if Johnny, himself, is in the building. David Gresham more than meets the challenge of filling in for Luther and Carl Perkins on those classic guitar licks. And Steve Eisenstadt (bass) and Randy Benefield (drums) provide the hallmark, train-like driving rhythm the whole world loves. True to the Mr. Cash\u2019s poetic spirit,\u00a0JF4<\/span>\u00a0promises an honest and entertaining performance for fans of all ages.<\/p>\n

A friendship was struck up between the groups and plans were soon in motion to tour the US in the summer of 2024.That tour was so successful, and such a good time, that we decided to go out again in 2025, this time with just the alumni so that the students can have their turn playing these amazing songs with them.

Zappa II Tour\u201d because it is all about our shared love of this amazing music, teaching it to a new generation, and bringing it to his fans, who are the best\u201d<\/p>\n

Sam Tripoli, the host of one of America\u2019s most popular conspiracy themed podcasts \u201cTin Foil Hat<\/strong>\u201d, is bringing his provocative world view to the stage in a special night of stand up comedy and far out theories.<\/p>\n

Joined for this limited engagement by fellow status quo provocateur & Joe Rogan podcast regular Eddie Bravo, the dissenting duo will turn conventional thinking & historically accepted accounts on its\u2019 collective ear.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re under the impression that man really walked on the moon?\u00a0You\u2019ve assumed all these years that the world was round?\u00a0Sam and Eddie have a collection of entertaining observations on those widely held positions (and many others like them) that will start you laughing but leave you thinking.<\/p>\n

Boasting a stand up career that spans three decades, including appearances on Comedy Central, Showtime, and Netflix, Sam Tripoli enjoys ongoing success as a comedian, actor, and podcaster. In addition to hosting weekly episodes of the wildly popular Tin Foil Hat, Broken Sim, and Deep Waters, Tripoli recently starred alongside the biggest names in comedy in the feature film \u201cDying Laughing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps best known for founding the 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu martial arts system, as well as his many appearances on the \u201cJoe Rogan Experience\u201d, Eddie Bravo is the definition of a Renaissance man.\u00a0Known as an accomplished martial artist, musician, commentator, and viral philosopher, Bravo is a counter cultural dynamo who wows any crowd that gathers within the sound of his voice.\u00a0His disciples and devotees travel long distances to listen to Bravo hold court on all things unbelievably yet undeniably curious.<\/p>\n

Hear your favorite conspiracy theorists Sam Tripoli and Eddie Bravo (and friends) tackle your favorite conspiracy theories at \u201cTin Foil Hat Comedy Night\u201d. This special event will be followed by a \u201cSwarm Tank\u201d Q&A not to be missed!<\/p>\n

Unforgettable Fire – U2 Tribute: 30th Anniversary Tour<\/h1>\n
Friday, September 5, 2025 – 8:00 PM EDT<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Unforgettable Fire<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0is the\u00a0USA\u2019s longest running and most authentic tribute to U2. Born on New Year\u2019s Day in 1995, Unforgettable Fire is celebrating their 30th\u00a0ANNIVERSARY<\/span>\u00a0this year!<\/p>\n

The band strives to present a truly authentic U2 experience, both sonically and visually, doing everything in their power (from wardrobe to lighting) to create the live U2 concert setting for their audiences. The members of UF are also very dedicated fans of U2, and will not settle for anything less than complete authenticity.<\/p>\n

In 2015, U2 members The Edge and Adam Clayton crashed Unforgettable Fire\u2019s show at The Cutting Room in New York City. They joined UF onstage for a very special surprise performance together to the joy and surprise of the audience. Adam Clayton and The Edge performed two songs with Unforgettable Fire; \u201cOut Of Control\u201d and \u201cWhere The Streets Have No Name\u201d. Press from around the world, including Rolling Stone Magazine reported on that very special U2 and UF performance together.<\/p>\n

2021 brought new worldwide exposure for the band, including an episode of\u00a0JEOPARDY<\/span>!, in which Unforgettable Fire were featured as a question, in a category titled \u2018Tribute Bands\u2019. In October 2021 Unforgettable Fire were featured & appeared on the series premiere of \u201cClash of The Cover Bands\u201d on \u2018E!\u2019 Network, executive produced by Jimmy Fallon, with judges Adam Lambert, Meghan Trainor, and Ester Dean. UF won their episode with much praise and acclaim from the celebrity judges.<\/p>\n

One of UF\u2019s last founding members from 1995, drummer George (Larry) Levesanos, still performs with the band. George is a veteran drummer on the New York City music scene and has performed in many other projects before forming UF. Joining the band in the summer of 2001 was singer Tony (Bono) Russo. Over the years, Tony has brought UF to a new level of authenticity as he is regarded as one of the country\u2019s top Bono look-a-likes. In late 2002, bassist Craig (Adam) Kiell added his top notch musicianship, experience, and stage presence to the band and has been a crucial part of the solid rhythm section ever since. Late 2004 brought Mick (Edge) Normoyle to the band to complete the last piece of its puzzle in its quest to have the truest, most authentic live U2 sound. All four members of UF are talented musicians in their own right, but together they are committed to bring their audiences the best possible U2 show that they can deliver.<\/p>\n
