Drew Landry, an LA-based stand-up comedian and writer from Baltimore, started doing comedy when he was 13, and went on tour with Carlos Mencia (Comedy Central’s “Mind Of Mencia”) just two weeks after graduating high school.

Recently named one of the official top 50 humor writers on Medium, Landry’s articles on Medium have received a total of over a million views, including his piece “I Have A Theory That Donald Glover and Childish Gambino Are Secretly The Same Person,” which went viral.

Fresh off his recent Grammy-winning release “Oklahoma,” the legendary Keb’ Mo’ returns to the Avalon stage! Over his quarter-century as a recording artist, Keb’ has cultivated a reputation as a modern master of American roots music through the understated excellence of his live and studio performances. The charismatic singer/guitarist/ songwriter and five-time Grammy Award-winner has consistently made music that reflects his own passions and interests. In the process, he’s established his ability to draw upon his bottomless roots-music expertise to make deeply expressive, highly personal music. Along with his original material, Keb’ has collaborated with a wide constellation of artists, including Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Jackson Browne, Natalie Cole, and Lyle Lovett, among so many more. But it’s his stellar guitar skills that are what distinguishes Keb’ from the rest. His guitar playing has garnered him two invites to Eric Clapton’s acclaimed Crossroads Festival and has even inspired leading instrument makers, Gibson Brands, to issue the Keb’ Mo’ Signature Bluesmaster and Bluesmaster Royale acoustic guitars.

Join platinum-selling singer/songwriter Eric Hutchison in a special solo show in the Avalon! Hutchison has performed across the country, sharing the stage with acts such as Jason Mraz, Amos Lee, Ingrid Michaelson, O.A.R., and Michael Franti. His single “Rock & Roll” earned him his first gold record in the United States and the song became a #1 hit in several countries. His new album “Before & After Life” is a complex, introspective, and jazz-tinged record that weighs happiness against sadness in a way that will surely resonate and surprise longtime fans of the singer’s pop-soul hits.

Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up, storytelling, audience song, and poetry. One man, one microphone. Keillor did “A Prairie Home Companion” for forty years, wrote fiction and comedy, invented a town called Lake Wobegon where all the children are above average, even though he himself grew up evangelical in a small separatist flock where all the children expected the imminent end of the world.

Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev. Russia has provided us with some of the most exciting and original music in the repertoire today. Vibrant colors, explosive energy, and passionate emotional drive characterize the works of these composers. Yet this tradition seemed to spring from nowhere barely 150 years ago, expanding meteorically in breadth and national confidence over an amazingly short period. While exploring the riches of Russian concert works, we also trace the turbulent historical movements that acted both as backdrop and engine for this fascinating musical evolution.

After making multiple albums and performing in far-flung places, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Amy Helm returned home to Woodstock’s Levon Helm Studios just before the pandemic to record “What the Flood Leaves Behind” and reclaim a sense of self. The album is her most autobiographical work yet, both in content and creation. This collection of new songs represent a gathering of ideas and experiences, friends and collaborators. Yet, the album also marks a landing — a pause for the traveling musician and mother of two young boys who was seeking clarity in her calling and career. http://www.amyhelm.com/

Defying genres while transcending eras and resisting clichés is what Miss Tess is all about. Drawing from jazz, country, blues and old-school rock and roll, she has employed all of her influences and talents on a tour-de-force, while cleverly taking standard perspectives and ideas, like the definition of a love song, to task.   However varied Tess’s music can be, front and center sits her voice that has been described as “alternately seductive and sexy, and a pure joy to listen to” (Pop Matters). Her music is further heightened by her partner, Thomas Bryan Eaton, who helps to shape the songs and arrangements with a deft touch on guitar & pedal steel.
