Sweet Baby James: The #1 James Taylor Tribute

Friday, November 22, 2024 – 8:00 PM EST

Don’t miss America’s #1 James Taylor tribute Sweet Baby James, as Nashville musician Bill Griese performs the songs of the legendary JT. Not your typical tribute band fare, and not a “look-alike” act, Griese delights audiences using only his uncanny Taylor-like vocals & guitar playing, and a refreshingly real stage presence.

Fans rave: “the next best thing to James,” “close my eyes and it’s JT,” “James would be proud,” “amazing guitar playing,” “everything he does honors JT,” “his voice is spot on,” etc. Enjoy the ultimate James Taylor experience with favorites like Fire and Rain, You’ve Got a Friend, Shower the People, How Sweet It Is, and Steamroller, celebrating one of our greatest troubadours.

Beyond Purple with special guest Shovelhead!

Saturday, November 23, 2024 – 8:00 PM EST

Beyond Purple is an explosive rock band that delivers on every level. Playing venues up and down northern New England, lead singer Mike Gill’s stinging vocals and energetic stage presence bring every song to life.

Jimi Bell’s over the top guitar playing and incredible shredding are beyond comparison and have made him legendary in the music world.

Brian Camelleri’s solid bass playing and tight riffs round out this amazing band.

BJ Zampa’s drumming is off the charts and his double bass playing is in a league of its own.

Welcome Gary Fox Jr. on keyboards and backing vocals, a long standing member of legendary Led Zeppelin tribute “Physical Graffiti”. His talent is beyond amazing.

Beyond Purple plays the greatest hits of Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Rainbow and Dio all born out of the Deep Purple family tree. We are professional musicians with national act affiliations who deliver each and every show. This band is a must see!
