anthonyhamilton.com | musiqsouldchild.com

Some things, thankfully, never go out of style. Case in point: the bona fide soul of Anthony Hamilton. That distinctive, six-time Grammy-nominated voice is back on "The Point of It All," Hamilton's third official studio album. This new album plays up the singer/songwriter's natural talent: rich, soul-steeped vocals breathing sonorous life into emotion-packed lyrics.

The majority of tickets for this event are available through Ticketmaster.

George Benson | Babyface | Ledisi

Appreciated as both musician and performer by millions, George Benson has always had the duel personae of expert improviser and vibrant entertainer.

If you were to closely examine the annals of modern pop music history, few creative forces have been more seminal or impacted the contemporary pop/urban genres as much as Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds.

From her name to her music to her mission to the circuitous path that brought her to legendary Verve Records, Ledisi is a galvanizing, all-natural wonder. Wherever she goes, she wows and astounds.

Reggae on the Harbor "Three Generations of Ska"

Sunday, July 19
Gates 1pm
$25 - $45

tootsandthemaytals.com | reel big fish

Toots and the Maytals, originally called simply The Maytals, are considered legends of ska and reggae music. Their sound is a unique, original combination of gospel, ska, soul, reggae and rock.

Reel Big Fish was one of the legions of Southern California ska-punk bands to edge into the mainstream following the mid-'90s success of No Doubt and Sublime. Like most of their peers, the band was distinguished by their hyperkinetic stage shows, juvenile humor, ironic covers of new wave pop songs, and metallic shards of ska.

Randy Travis
w. Caitlin and Will
Friday, July 24
Gates 6pm
$25 - $50

www.randytravis.com | Caitlin & Will's Myspace

Like the Beatles in rock, Randy Travis marks a generational shift in country music. When his "Storms of Life" came out in 1986, country music was still wallowing in the post-urban cowboy recession, chasing elusive crossover dreams. Travis brought the music back to its basics, sounding like nothing so much as a perfect blend of George Jones and Merle Haggard. He became the dominant male voice in country until the rise of "hat acts" like Garth Brooks and Clint Black, releasing seven consecutive number one singles during one stretch.
