SUMMARY:Blackstreet
DESCRIPTION:There’s a smooth\, late-night kind of energy that Blackstreet brings that still hits the same way it did in the ’90s. Built out of that New Jack Swing era and guided by producer and songwriter Teddy Riley\, the group carved out a sound that blends R&B\, hip-hop\, and soul into something effortlessly cool. Their breakout moments weren’t just hits… they were mood-setters. Songs like “No Diggity” didn’t just climb charts; they defined an entire vibe. \nWhat makes Blackstreet stick is how clean and confident everything feels. The vocals glide\, the beats knock just enough\, and there’s always that underlying groove pulling you in. Even as the lineup has shifted over the years\, the DNA hasn’t changed. It’s still about that mix of polished production and street-level edge\, where melody meets rhythm in a way that feels both nostalgic and right now. \nLive\, it leans into that feeling even more. You get the hits people came for\, but there’s also this easy\, laid-back connection with the crowd… like the whole room is in on it together. It’s the kind of show where you’re nodding along one minute and suddenly singing every word the next. If you’re looking for a night that slides between throwback R&B and pure feel-good energy\, Blackstreet delivers without forcing it.

SUMMARY:Retro Floyd at the Charlestown Rathskeller
DESCRIPTION:Retro Floyd at the Charlestown Rathskeller brings the atmosphere\, sound\, and psychedelic scale of Pink Floyd to Charlestown Rathskeller Tavern on Saturday\, May 16 from 8:00 to 11:00 PM. Set among the woods\, outdoor seating areas\, and fire pits of the legendary Rathskeller property\, the night blends classic rock nostalgia with open-air spring nightlife in one of Rhode Island’s most recognizable live music settings. \nHeadlining the evening is Retro Floyd\, a Massachusetts-based tribute group known throughout the Northeast for recreating the layered vocals\, atmospheric soundscapes\, and immersive concert feel associated with Pink Floyd’s legendary live performances.

SUMMARY:Prince/Bowie at The UNITED
DESCRIPTION:Prince/Bowie at The UNITED brings together the music of Prince and David Bowie in a genre-blending live concert experience at The UNITED Theatre. Rather than functioning as a traditional tribute act focused on one artist\, Prince/Bowie merges the catalogs\, styles\, and stage energy of two of music’s most influential performers into a single high-powered show filled with funk\, glam rock\, pop experimentation\, and theatrical live performance. \nCreated by Eric Gould\, founder of Pink Talking Fish\, the project pulls together musicians from nationally touring acts including Pigeons Playing Ping Pong\, Cool Cool Cool\, and The Giant Country Horns. The result is a band built around technical musicianship\, improvisation\, and creative reinterpretation rather than simple imitation. Horn arrangements by composer Matt Wayne add another layer to the performances\, giving familiar songs a fresh live energy while preserving the spirit of the originals. \nThe setlist itself becomes part of the appeal\, blending iconic songs from both artists into seamless mashups and transitions that feel designed for a concert crowd rather than a nostalgia act. Audiences can expect combinations like “Let’s Dance” flowing into “1999” or “Moonage Daydream” colliding with “Purple Rain\,” creating a show that constantly shifts between Bowie’s art-rock atmosphere and Prince’s explosive funk and pop energy. For fans of live musicianship\, classic music catalogs\, and tribute shows willing to experiment creatively\, Prince/Bowie offers one of the more unique concert experiences on the regional calendar. \n

SUMMARY:Take It To The Bridge at the Charlestown Rathskeller
DESCRIPTION:Take It To The Bridge at the Charlestown Rathskeller brings funk\, soul\, pop\, and dance-floor energy to Charlestown Rathskeller Tavern on Friday\, May 15 from 8:00 to 11:00 PM. Set against the wooded outdoor atmosphere of one of Rhode Island’s most iconic taverns\, the night combines live music\, food\, drinks\, and open-air spring nightlife into the kind of shoreline evening people wait all winter to get back to. \nHeadlining the night is Take It To The Bridge\, an award-winning eight-piece band known for turning dance crowds loose with a mix of funk\, soul\, rock\, pop\, and high-energy party favorites. Since forming in 2014\, the group has built a strong regional following thanks to tight musicianship\, big vocals\, and a setlist built around recognizable songs designed to keep people moving. Their performances lean heavily into crowd energy\, transforming concerts into full-on dance parties by the end of the first set. \nThe Charlestown Rathskeller itself adds a major part of the experience\, with expansive outdoor seating\, fire pits\, lawn games\, and the rustic atmosphere that has made the venue a summer destination for generations. Guests are encouraged to arrive early for dinner and drinks before the music starts\, as the combination of warm weather\, outdoor vibes\, and live music tends to fill the property quickly. Between the atmosphere\, the band\, and the setting in the woods of Charlestown\, this feels less like a concert and more like the unofficial start of summer nightlife season. \n

SUMMARY:Mike Tramp of White Lion at Wolf Den
DESCRIPTION:Mike Tramp of White Lion at Wolf Den brings classic hard rock energy to Mohegan Sun on Friday\, May 15\, giving southeastern Connecticut fans a rare chance to experience one of the signature voices of ‘80s melodic rock in an intimate setting. Best known as the frontman of White Lion\, Mike Tramp helped shape the soundtrack of the MTV era with songs like “Wait\,” “Little Fighter\,” and the power ballad “When the Children Cry.” In the smaller confines of the Wolf Den\, those arena-sized songs land differently\, louder\, closer\, and more personal than they ever could in a stadium. \nInside the Wolf Den\, the atmosphere tends to feel part concert venue and part late-night rock club\, especially when longtime fans start filling the room early. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, and regulars know the line begins forming well before showtime for recognizable legacy acts. The non-smoking venue has become one of the casino’s most reliable spots for live music\, giving audiences an up-close experience that feels surprisingly intimate compared to the larger entertainment spaces throughout the property. There’s a certain nostalgia in the air when acts tied to classic rock radio step onto that stage\, and this show will likely lean heavily into it. \nMike Tramp’s recent performances have blended storytelling\, stripped-down emotion\, and the kind of soaring choruses that defined an entire generation of rock music. For fans who grew up with late-night videos on MTV or road trips soundtracked by power ballads and guitar solos\, this show taps directly into that feeling. The concert begins at 8 p.m. at the Wolf Den inside Mohegan Sun. Guests must be 21 or older\, and seating is limited. \n

SUMMARY:Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill at Ivoryton Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill at Ivoryton Playhouse brings the music\, heartbreak\, and haunting presence of Billie Holiday to the stage in a powerful production of the Tony Award-winning play set during one of the singer’s final performances in 1959. Blending live music with intimate storytelling\, the production recreates the atmosphere of a small Philadelphia nightclub while exploring the life and emotional weight carried by one of jazz’s most influential voices. \nThe show unfolds as Holiday performs a selection of her most iconic songs\, including “Strange Fruit” and “God Bless the Child\,” weaving memories\, humor\, pain\, and vulnerability between performances. Rather than presenting a traditional biography\, the play places audiences directly inside the emotional atmosphere of a late-career Billie Holiday concert\, where the music and the personal struggles behind it become inseparable. The result feels less like a history lesson and more like witnessing a legend trying to hold herself together under the spotlight. \nKnown for staging intimate productions inside one of Connecticut’s most beloved historic theaters\, Ivoryton Playhouse provides the perfect setting for a story built around closeness\, mood\, and live performance. For theatergoers\, jazz fans\, and anyone drawn to stories about artists fighting through personal darkness\, Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill offers an emotionally charged night that lingers long after the final song ends. \n

Their polished arrangements\, strong musicianship\, and female-led vocals create the kind of classic dance-hall atmosphere that keeps crowds moving from the first song to the last. Over the years\, the band has shared stages with artists including Ray Charles and Roy Orbison. \nOpening performances from The UNITED Big Band and Jazz Combo spotlight young musicians from schools across the region\, performing an energetic mix of jazz\, funk\, swing\, and horn-driven favorites inspired by groups like Tower of Power and Earth\, Wind & Fire. Album sales from Jazz on a School Night will support The UNITED’s jazz education programs\, adding a strong community element to a night already built around live music\, dancing\, and celebrating regional talent. \n

SUMMARY:Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis at the Garde
DESCRIPTION:Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis at the Garde Arts Center brings one of the most celebrated ensembles in American music to the stage during a pivotal moment in jazz history. The performance arrives as part of the lead-up to Marsalis’ final season as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center and Music Director of the orchestra he helped shape into a worldwide ambassador for jazz. For longtime fans and newer listeners alike\, the concert carries the feeling of both a masterclass and a milestone\, showcasing musicians who continue to preserve and expand the tradition of big band jazz at the highest level. \nJazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis features a 15-piece ensemble filled with internationally respected soloists and arrangers\, from powerhouse trumpet sections to richly layered saxophone and trombone arrangements. Under the direction of Wynton Marsalis\, the orchestra moves fluidly through classic works and modern compositions\, drawing from legends like Duke Ellington\, Count Basie\, Charles Mingus\, Dizzy Gillespie\, and Thelonious Monk while also performing newer arrangements written by members of the orchestra itself. The result is not just a concert but an immersive exploration of jazz history\, improvisation\, rhythm\, and collaboration. \nThere is a certain electricity that comes with hearing a world-class jazz orchestra live. The sharp brass hits\, the slow-building piano passages\, the sudden bursts of improvisation\, and the quiet moments between notes all land differently inside a concert hall than they ever could through headphones. Marsalis has spent decades championing jazz as both an American art form and a way of life rooted in creativity\, discipline\, and resilience. That philosophy runs through every performance by the orchestra\, creating a night that feels sophisticated\, emotional\, and deeply alive from the opening note to the final standing ovation. \n
