SUMMARY:PetRock 2027
DESCRIPTION:Remember the golden sounds of the 1970s? The era wasn’t just about guitar-smashing hard rock; it was also filled with soft\, flowing melodies that made you sway and hum along.

Covering hits from legends like the Eagles\, Boz Scaggs\, and a collection of one-hit wonders and top-40 gems\, PetRock doesn’t just play the music—they live it. Decked out in bell-bottom jeans\, and vintage stage personas\, they deliver a performance that’s a feast for both the ears and eyes.\n\nThe band is a powerhouse of talent\, featuring J.J. Cruise on acoustic guitar and lead vocals\, Duke Bradford on bass and vocals\, Steely Dana on keyboards\, guitar\, and vocals\, Blitz Holiday on lead guitar\, keyboards and vocals\, The Maestro on keyboards and vocals\, Flam Tapman on drums\, \, EL Tiempo on percussion\, and Shandy Tuskaderro on vocals.\n\nTickets starting at $33.

SUMMARY:Taylor Tomlinson: Nobody Asked You To Do that
DESCRIPTION:Outback Presents \nTaylor Tomlinson: Nobody Asked You To Do that\nWith 15 years of stand-up experience and four Netflix specials before the age of 32\, Taylor Tomlinson has established herself as one of the most influential comedians of her generation. Drawing from her own experiences navigating family\, faith\, relationships\, and mental health\, her comedy combines a cutting self-awareness with refreshing vulnerability\, earning her a reputation for excavating humor from life’s messiest and most uncomfortable moments. That distinctive voice has earned widespread acclaim across the entertainment industry\, with CNN declaring that audiences are in “the era of Taylor Tomlinson\,” and Rolling Stone writing that she has “conquered comedy.” She has been inducted into Forbes 30 Under 30 and TIME100 Next\, highlighted in Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch” and annual “Comedy Impact Report\,” and named one of The Hollywood Reporter’s “100 Most Powerful Women in Hollywood.” New York Times critic Jason Zinoman calls her “a comic with the confidence of a star” who “makes even the heaviest subjects seem spikily funny.” \nBefore headlining sold-out theaters and releasing a string of hit specials\, Tomlinson began performing stand-up as a teenager in churches and comedy clubs\, eventually landing appearances on Conan\, Netflix’s The Comedy Lineup\, and numerous late-night programs. Her four Netflix specials\, Quarter-Life Crisis\, Look At You\, Have It All\, and Prodigal Daughter\, have cemented her reputation as one of comedy’s most compelling voices\, with Prodigal Daughter standing as her most ambitious and personal work to date. In 2023\, Tomlinson headlined the seventh highest-grossing comedy tour in the world and was the only woman to rank in the global Top 10. Most recently\, she hosted CBS’s After Midnight\, becoming the youngest network late-night host by roughly two decades and the only woman hosting a network late-night show at the time. Her first book\, Actually\, Nevermind\, will be published on September 22\, 2026. \nTickets starting at $52.15 \n
