Will Evans – The Wild Unknown Tour!
Will Evans pulls everyone into his embrace. He musically accesses a space without boundaries where all are welcome to commune openly and move freely. Through quotable folk-inspired lyrics, breezy grooves, and roots energy, it’s as if he’s giving you permission to be that pure self you can’t always be at work or even at home…
The Rhode Island-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist also puts his words into action via his “Kind Folk” fan community, activating small acts of kindness, charity, and goodwill in tandem with performances nationwide. After generating over 50 million streams independently, he inspires once again through a series of 2024 releases and much more to come.
“I want to make music that moves you,” he states. “It’s rooted in compassion, kindness, and community. With anything I release, there’s a lot of passion behind it. I’m always giving you the most authentic version of myself.”

The Laugh Pack!
Mark Riccadonna (SNL, Drybar) and the human jukebox Justin Gonzalez (Carnegie Hall, the Comedy Cellar) are excited to bring the Laugh Pack back to the Broad Brook Opera House! This year they will be bringing a new friend to the party: Comedy Hypnotist Bob Lauver!
Mark Riccadonna pursued Theatre at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and, soon after, stumbled upon Stand-Up Comedy. He is a gifted storyteller with a charisma that makes you feel like you’ve known him forever, a unique delivery, a signature voice, and likability; you will see why he is a favorite at clubs and theatres everywhere. Mark also performs for Armed Forces Entertainment and has entertained U.S. and U.N. Troops worldwide. Recently, he filmed a Comedy Special for Dry Bar and The Beaz Hive on Amazon and was a contributing writer for Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update.”
Justin Gonzalez performs a diverse repertoire of music spanning Jazz, the American Songbook, the music of Freddie Mercury and Queen, Broadway, and favorites from the classical and operatic stage. Justin has performed with some of the best classical and popular music acts in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and the Cathedral Notre Dame in Paris.
As a comedian and storyteller, he has entertained audiences at clubs such as the Comic Strip Live, Candlelight Comedy Club, and the Comedy Cellar in NYC. Justin has also performed in the NYC Comedy Festival and most recently as part of the opening weekend of the Good Karma Mid-Atlantic Regional Comedy Festival.
And Comedy Hypnotist Bob Lauver! What happens when you combine a professional touring comic with a stage hypnotist? You get an unforgettable night of laughter and amazement! While stand up comedy was always the passion, Bob became intrigued with Hypnosis after opening for a stage hypnotist show. The rest was history. He has built a Comedy Hypnosis show that will leave your sides hurting from laughter and your mind blown from seeing what your friends can do under hypnosis!
The Laugh Pack is a show you will come and see again and again so don’t miss it!

Greg Hawkes with Eddie Japan Performing the Music of The Cars!
As the keyboardist for the legendary Boston band and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members, The Cars, Greg Hawkes forged the sound of rock’s New Wave. Pioneering and pushing the limits of technology and sequencing in the late ‘70s and through the ‘80s, Greg cemented the synthesizer’s place in rock and pop music, and his contribution has influenced countless artists since. Along with achieving Rock & Roll Hall of Fame status and massive commercial success with The Cars, Greg has been a sought-after session and touring musician, and has worked with the likes of Paul McCartney, Todd Rundgren, and The Turtles.
In 2016, Greg collaborated with the acclaimed Boston band Eddie Japan to produce their 2017 album Golden Age. This eventually led to Greg and the band joining forces to create a night of music by The Cars featuring a set list curated by Greg. Since 2019, Greg Hawkes with Eddie Japan Performing the Music of The Cars has been thrilling audiences across the Northeast with an energetic show that includes hits and deeper cuts from The Cars songbook, along with special selections relating to Greg’s amazing musical career.
