ETTA MAY and The Southern Fried Chicks
2026-03-14 19:00 - 22:00
GET READY TO LAUGH YOUR REAREND OFF! The Lincoln Square Theater is excited to welcome comedian’s ‘ETTA MAY’ & The Southern Fried Chicks!
Born and in Bald Knob, Arkansas, Etta May grew up alongside nine older brothers, who referred to their baby sister as “the human sacrifice.” In fact, Etta May’s parents – her father, a potpourri farmer, and her mother, bedridden by constant childbearing, – didn’t realize she was a girl until she needed a training bra.
She met her husband, Delbert, an aspiring truck driver, at a friend’s kegger. From across the yard their eyes locked in a love look, you know that stare that lasts a moment too long. Nine months later, she was blessed with a boy, and three more kids followed. “That’s where my comedy comes from. I just wait for my husband or kids to do something stupid, and then I write it down.”
Prior to finding success as a stand-up comic, Etta wandered from dead end job to dead end job including a 10-year stint as a school bus driver. She says she learned how to handle unruly kids by Armor-Alling the seats and slamming on the brakes all the way to school. Her theory: “Kind of hard to pick a fight with the kid in front of you, when you’re just holding on for dear life.”
Then she decided to take a chance on herself and follow her dream. Lots of hard work and drive and a few years later she wins “Female Comic Of The Year” at the American Comedy Awards. It’s the American Story we are all told that you can become anything you set your mind to in this great country and for Etta May it worked!
Etta May has appeared on Oprah, Showtime, Comic Strip Live, MTV and as a guest commentator on “CBS Sunday Morning,” plus so much more. She headlines the successful all-female comedy tour, “Etta May and the Southern Fried Chicks,” selling out theatres all over the country. Think Blue Collar Comedy Tour with better hair and bigger attitude! In addition to television, Etta May is a regular on Sirius-XM Comedy Channels and the syndicated Bob & Tom radio show.
Sonya White: Combines Southern charm with city-wise street smarts to create a show that won her multiple appearances on Star Search (CBS), promo spots on Last Comic Standing (NBC), featured role and national tour in Southern Fried Chicks (CMT), nomination for ‘Best Female Performer’ by Campus Activities Magazine, appearance on ‘Girls Behaving Badly’ (Oxygen), on ‘Comedy Spotlight Roadtrip’ (Comcast), and performances at the ‘U.S. Comedy Arts Festival’ (HBO, E!, Comedy Central).
Jodi White: NEVER THE BRIDESMAID, ALWAYS THE BRIDE, and she’s got four dresses to prove it. Now on husband number four, with three kids and three ex-husbands, Jodi doesn’t hold back on stage or in life. Trust us; this is No Desperate Housewife. She’s bold and brazen, and you’ll love her for it. She tells it like it is!
In addition to comedy festivals across the US and Canada, Jodi’s is a favorite on Carnival Cruise Lines and has been featured on Nick at Night, “Mom’s Night Out,” Stand Up Nashville Live on the Circle Network, Island Hoppers with James Van Der Beek and Ridiculousness on MTV.

KEITH ANDERSON with special guests: Wreckless Whiskey
2026-03-05 19:00 - 22:00
The Historic Lincoln Square Theater and 98.1 GRIZ FM, are excited to announce that country music star, KEITH ANDERSON will perform on Thursday March 5, 2026, with special guests: the acoustic duo of ‘Wreckless Whiskey’.

Singer/Songwriter Keith Anderson’s latest song “I’ll Bring The Music” sums up Anderson to a T. That is one thing that you can always say about this academic athlete from Miami, OK, who has always excelled at anything he has put his mind to, is he WILL bring the Music. Although he has co-written hits for other artists, most notably “Lost In This Moment”, the No. 1 smash for Big & Rich which garnered him a CMA and ACM Song of the Year nomination, Anderson does not write with other artists in mind. “I think I’ll always write about what I know and feel–and typically with myself in mind. However, I write a lot and I keep the songs that are really speaking to me when I’m recording, and pitch everything else to other artists”, says Anderson. Anderson also co-wrote the Grammy-nominated, “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?)” for Garth Brooks and George Jones, “The Bed” for Gretchen Wilson and “Barn Burner” for Jason Michael Carroll. His debut CD, “Three Chord Country and American Rock & Roll”, was certified Gold and garnered two Top 10 hits (accompanied by two No. 1 music videos), “Pickin’ Wildflowers,” and “Every Time I Hear Your Name,” along with two Top 30 hits “XXL” and “Podunk”. This success prompted music trades Billboard and Radio & Records to name him country music’s No. 1 New Male Artist of 2005 and the top new solo country artist of the year. It wasn’t just his music that was getting attention. Anderson was named one of People Magazine’s “50 Hottest Bachelors”, and Men’s Fitness Magazine’s, “Ultimate Country Star”. Anderson’s sophomore CD garnered the biggest hit of his career, “I Still Miss You”, which peaked at #2 and another Top 25 hit, “Sunday Morning In America”. Taking the lead with other gold and platinum artists, Anderson decided to take hold of the reigns this time by launching his music his own way and letting the fans help drive his music and passion. “I’ll Bring The Music” has had a huge resonance with the fans.” says Anderson. “As I tour all over the country, that is the song that gets them on their feet and is the song they are still singing as they head out the door. It reminds me of how “Pickin’ Wildflowers moved them”. And now Sirius XM Radio is “Dancin’ To The Beat” as it has been added to The Highway channel 59’s program, “On The Horizon”.

Other Career Facts: Anderson has appeared on such programs as NBC’s Today, Inside Edition, Access Hollywood, the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, Grand Ole Opry Live, CMT 100 Greatest Duets and CMT’s Unsung Stories. He has performed on the GAC-televised concert special, Montgomery Gentry: Free to Rock, and starred in his own GAC concert event, Three Chord Country. He was also selected by TV’s Dr. Phil McGraw to appear as a possible love interest for star Paula Abdul on A Dr. Phil Primetime Special: Love Smart, which aired Valentine’s Day on CBS. Keith earned a coveted slot as one of country’s hottest new talents performing for radio industry movers & shakers at the CRS New Faces Show as part of the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville.
Doors: 6:00 pm with show starting promptly at 7:00. Opening Act: the acoustic duo of ‘Wreckless Whiskey’

“David Brighton has the voice, moves, and look to actually step in for David Bowie if he were unavailable, and few would ever know. Experiencing Space Oddity made for a truly remarkable evening…” says Harry Maslin, the Producer of David Bowie’s YOUNG AMERICANS and STATION TO STATION Albums.
David’s credits include performing side by side with David Bowie himself in the TV commercials for Vittel Mineral Water and for Reality – Bowie’s CD. David has performed as a resident cast member of the world-famous Legends In Concert – Las Vegas production show. He was cast to portray David Bowie in Warner Brother’s feature film, The Watchmen. He also appeared as David Bowie on VH-1 television as well as in international pop star Shakira’s concert video.
David has performed worldwide on bills with some of the biggest acts the world has known, including: Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Devo, Kenny Loggins, Three Dog Night, Chicago, Little Richard, and Barry Manilow. Brighton has performed at events for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver… Brooke Shields, Dustin Hoffman, Sylvester Stallone, Jay Leno, David Foster, Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Douglas, Quincy Jones, Nicholas Cage, and Barbra Streisand…
David and the Band have been performing throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, China, and Europe – including: Finland, Germany, Estonia, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Spain, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Portugal, and Israel…
This full-scale stage production is complete with flamboyant costume changes, elaborate staging, perfectly emulated vocal stylings, and one of the best backing bands in the business. All of the many faces of David Bowie are present… from stadium-sized pop phenomenon, to space-age rock and roll alien Ziggy Stardust… and so is the excitement and electricity.
David began his musical career as a professional guitarist…playing lead guitar with a number of popular recording artists. His stint as a sideman began with a phone call from Kevin Dubrow from Quiet Riot, who tapped David to replace the legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads. He also portrayed George Harrison around the world with a number of the world’s top Beatle groups, including: Rain, The Stars of Beatlemania, The Fab Four, 1964, Twist And Shout, Classical Mystery Tour, and When We Were Fab.
“David Bowie has worked with David Brighton…What does that tell you about the credibility of a tribute artist?” – Las Vegas Review-Journal. FOR BIO ON BAND MEMBERS: Go to: DAVIDBOWIETRIBUTE.com

Quiet Riot
2025-12-29 19:00 - 22:00
QUIET RIOT is a rock & roll phenomenon. Famously described as the first heavy metal band to top the pop chart at #1 on Billboard magazine, the Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album “Metal Health”.
QUIET RIOT first signed a record deal with Pasha records in the dawn of the 80’s at a time when radio was dominated by the “new wave” sound. Their hard driving pop metal sound was deemed “out” by record labels so the debut album “Metal Health” was against the grain. Driven by the irresistible double whammy of the rendition of the old Slade chestnut “Cum on Feel the Noize,” and their original song “Metal Health” (Bang your head) the album stormed up the U.S. charts, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times over in the process. Against all odds it jumped over Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and “Synchronicity” by The Police to land in the number one slot on the Billboard album chart.
This opened the door for the other Sunset Strip “Hair Metal” bands to get their record deals and kicked off the craze that dominated MTV and radio in the 80’s.
The sales of the “Metal Health” album have now well exceeded the 10 million mark worldwide. Quiet Riot went on to have other hits and over a dozen albums and still plays live with a line up consisting of Rudy Sarzo, Alex Grossi, Jizzy Pearl and Johnny Kelly.
• Over 15 Million Records Sold Worldwide
• METAL HEALTH – The First Heavy Metal Album in History to go to NUMBER 1 on the BILLBOARD TOP 200 Chart
• Over 2.8 Million Monthly SPOTIFY Listeners
• Over One Million Social Media Followers
• The Critically Acclaimed QUIET RIOT Documentary “Well Now You’re Here, There’s No Way Back” recommended by OLLING STONE and spent 2 years in rotation on SHOWTIME Performing the Hits:
• CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE
• BANG YOUR HEAD (METAL HEALTH)
• MAMA WEER ALL CRAZEE NOW
• SLICK BLACK CADILLAC
• THE WILD AND THE YOUNG & MORE…
QUIET RIOT IN POP CULTURE:
Quiet Riot’s song “Cum On Feel The Noize” was the first heavy metal song to reach Billboard magazine’s top FIVE.
Quiet Riot’s Album “Metal Health” was the first heavy metal album in history to go to NUMBER 1 on the BILLBOARD TOP 200 Chart.
Quiet Riot’s Album “Metal Health” was also the first DEBUT heavy metal album to reach Billboard magazine’s number ONE.
Quiet Riot’s video “Metal Health” was the first video to bring an album cover to life.
In 2008 movie, The Wrestler, the song “Metal Health” was used in the movie’s opening sequence and also as Randy “The Ram” Robinson’s entrance theme.
In 2008, the song “Cum On Feel the Noize” was played in the opening scenes of the movie “Tropic Thunder” during the movie preview parody scenes.
Quiet Riot’s track “Bang Your Head (Metal Health)” is used as the title theme to the video game Showdown: Legends of Wrestling. The same song also appears in the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, while their version for Slade’s “Cum On Feel the Noize” is featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, both playing on Rock radio station V-Rock. “Bang Your Head (Metal Health)” was also used in the Crank soundtrack, as the song played during the film’s opening sequence.

Kid Kentucky and the American Badass Band is the nation’s top Kid Rock tribute band, astounding Kid Rock fans nationwide. And by astounding, we do mean it’s quite an incredible Kid Rock experience when the band takes the stage. Each and every night, audiences spend the first few songs of the show trying to grasp the concept that they are not actually seeing the real Kid Rock there in front of them! The cameras come out, the jaws drop and the show kicks into high gear from the first note to the last, with an overall experience as close to the real thing as you can get!
Touring out of Nashville, TN, Kid K & TABB take their Kid Rock show north, south, east and west delivering the looks, the sounds and party throwdown that Kid Rock fans have come to know and love from the real guy himself! Adorning their Kid Rock concert shirts and all the shindig you can handle, the night covers the foray of Kid Rock hits weaving from rock, to country, to Kid Rock rap and everything in between, always keeping the Kid Rock fans coming back for more.
Kid Kentucky and the American Badass Band have traveled from Montana to Maryland, from Detroit to Tampa winning over Kid Rock fans, and building their own fans along the way. “I have been a Kid Rock fan from the old days, and never knew his music would be so popular that it could happen twice,” says Don Suiters (a.k.a. Kid Kentucky). “His music has been a great inspiration and after seeing his concerts almost a dozen times, his show has been too – thank you Kid Rock for making it all happen!”
