Independent music powerhouse Overtime embarks on The Long Way Home Tour, set to kick off in support of his upcoming album of the same name. Backed by The Blue Collar Soldiers Band, Overtime will bring his signature blend of country, rock, and rap to cities across the U.S., offering fans a raw and high-energy live experience.

Come cheer on the next generation of rockstars as the campers of Scranton Girls Rock take the stage for their final showcase! After a week of forming bands, writing original songs, and building confidence, these talented girls and gender-expansive youth (ages 7–17) are ready to share their voices and their music with the world.

979 is invading The Ritz Theater on July 18th for a live Free Beer and Hot Wings show - and this one’s gonna get weird in all the right ways.

We’re talking live nonsense, bad decisions, uncomfortable stories we probably shouldn’t tell in public… and a theater full of people pretending they’re not part of it.

And listen - someone please tell Tony to stop “thinking about it” and just buy the damn tickets already.

Welcome to the Hinder Presented by 979x event!

Get ready to rock out with Hinder and enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with great music and awesome company like Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen and Aaron Fink & The Fury.
