The critically acclaimed string collective – two violins, viola and cello – puts on a headlining show days after the release of Vitamin String Quartet Performs The Hits Of 2018 (8/10 via CMH Label Group). From appearances on HBO’s Westworld to TV hits like Modern Family and Shameless, VSQ’s “atmospheric” (Thrillist) hits have made “classical versions of pop music cool, [by] infusing the drama of mainstream composition into the classical community” (New York Observer). This show follows back-to-back sold-out nights at LA’s Hotel Cafe and NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall earlier this year.
The New Orleans pianist brings bassist Cornell Williams and drummer A.J. Hall to play music off Dyna-Mite (Thirty Tigers), the funky and heartfelt follow-up to Cleary’s GRAMMY-winning last LP.

The Mexican-American punk veteran brings his international tour to the US to preview his upcoming LP The Crossing (9/14 via Yep Roc), a concept album about the American immigrant experience mirroring Escovedo’s own journey.
