Billy the Kid & the Regulators. Not to be missed, Billy the Kid & the Regulators is a high-powered, guitar-driven rhythm and blues band based in Pittsburgh.

Lead singer Billy Evanochko is widely known across the Steel City for his impassioned lyrics, seductive vocals and stinging guitar riffs. Joined by the Regulators, he delivers a well-balanced dose of funky R&B, with heart and soul being the main ingredients of the ensemble.

Having swept the hearts of countless clubs and festivals throughout the country, this band attracts fans with its unique interpretation of the blues rock experience.

​The group takes the stage on Saturday, July 13. Doors open at 7 and showtime is 7:30. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door.

Robbie Fulks & Bill Kirchen. Robbie Fulks is a singer, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter. According to the Lizzie Rose crew, his most recent release, 2017’s Upland Stories, earned year’s-best recognition from NPR and Rolling Stone among many others, as well as two Grammy nominations.

In 1983, Fulks moved to Chicago and joined Greg Cahill’s Special Consensus Bluegrass Band. He taught music at Old Town School of Folk Music from 1984 to 1996, and worked as a staff songwriter on Music Row in Nashville from 1993 to 1998. His early solo work – Country Love Songs (1996) and South Mouth (1997) – helped define the “alternative country” movement of the ’90s.

Fulk’s work from the last several years hews mainly to acoustic instrumentation, returning him, in part, to his earlier bluegrass days, and extending the boundaries of that tradition with old-time rambles and sparely orchestrated reflections on love, the slings of time, and the troubles of common people.

Upon tallying how many decades he’s worked as a professional guitar slinger, Telecaster master Bill Kirchen quipped, “Well, they don’t make 50 years like they used to.” They don’t often make careers like his, either.

From performing with his Who Knows Pickers jug band in Ann Arbor High School’s senior talent show (also on the program: the future Iggy Pop) to birthing the Americana genre with the original “hippie country band,” Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, this affable Austinite has been everywhere, man, flying alongside some of the planet’s coolest cats – including the Jesus of Cool, Nick Lowe, and Lowe’s old protégé, Elvis Costello.

​Don’t miss this impressive double feature on Wednesday, July 17. Doors open at 7 and showtime is 7:30. Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 at the door.

Sail On – The Beach Boys Tribute. Sail On is dedicated to keeping the Beach Boys’ anthology alive and thriving. Performing all the golden oldie hits plus some treasures from the brilliant extended catalog, Sail On faithfully re-creates the soundtrack to an Endless Summer, live and in rich detail.

The timeless tales of surfing, cruising, dancing and dreaming are brought to life for anybody of any age, looking for “fun, fun, fun.” Sing, clap, move and groove along to the irresistible beats and unforgettable tunes, or sit back and drift atop their sunny harmonies. There’s something for every music lover in the transcendent catalog of the Beach Boys, and Sail On keeps the good vibrations going for everyone who wants to join in.

Get around to the show on Friday, July 19. Doors open at 7 and showtime is 7:30. Tickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door.

Floyd Pink – Celebrating the Music of Pink Floyd. Hailing from the New York metro area, Floyd Pink takes an interpretation of legendary prog rock band Pink Floyd.

Featuring six of the finest musicians, Floyd Pink has dialed in its production, down to the smallest detail, composing a true experience for Floyd fans everywhere. From their more obscure album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn to radio sensation Dark Side of the Moon, this is a psychedelic experience not to be missed.

​Only a few tickets remain for  Saturday, July 20. Doors open at 7 and showtime is 7:30. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door.

Ruthie Foster. Four-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ruthie Foster mixes a wide palette of American song forms, from gospel and blues to jazz, folk and soul.

Her vocal talent was elevated in worship services at her community church and would garner the attention of Rolling Stone Magazine. Drawing influence from legendary acts like Mavis Staples and Aretha Franklin, Foster developed a unique sound unable to be contained within a single genre. That uniqueness echoes a common theme in Ruthie’s life and career – marching to the beat of her own drum.

Foster brings the heat on Wednesday, July 24. Doors open at 7 and showtime is 7:30. Tickets are $72 in advance and $80 at the door.

John Gorka. A Jersey native, John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania known to the Americana scene as Godfrey Daniels.

Though small, Godfrey Daniels was and is one of the oldest and most venerable music institutions and has long been a hangout for music lovers and aspiring musicians. In the late 1970s, Gorka was one of those aspiring musicians.

He traveled to New York City, where Jack Hardy’s legendary Fast Folk circle (a breeding ground for many a major singer-songwriter) became a powerful source of education and encouragement. Folk meccas like Texas’ Kerrville Folk Festival (where he won the New Folk Award in 1984) and Boston followed, and his stunningly soulful baritone voice and original songwriting began turning heads. Those who had at one time inspired him – Suzanne Vega, Bill Morrissey, Nanci Griffith, Christine Lavin and Shawn Colvin – had become his peers.

He brings his talents to Tuckerton’s humble listening room on Thursday, July 25.​ Doors open at 7 and showtime is 7:30. Tickets are $45 in advance and $55 at the door.

John Hathaway & the Grey Riders. Returning once again to Lizzie Rose with another audience-pleasing concept, a new band and a new sound that will be surprisingly different but pleasantly familiar, John Hathaway is known for his well-documented performances of Neil Young and his huge catalog of music.

This show will, of course, feature much of that, leaning toward Young’s more country/outlaw roots. However, with the band Grey Riders, this inaugural show will also debut a mix of Outlaw Country and Southern Rock tunes from bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Johnny Cash and the Eagles. Throw in some originals, and we’ve got the makings of one seriously musical evening.

Be the first to see John Hathaway with the Grey Riders on Friday, July 26. Doors open at 7 and showtime is 7:30. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door.

Deadgrass. What many mainstream music fans don’t know is that the Grateful Dead’s roots trace to bluegrass. Multi-instrumentalist Matt Turk and Grammy-winner C. Lanzbom joined forces to form Deadgrass, a string band adventure through Jerry Garcia’s musical world. Bassist Dave Richards, banjoist Boo Reiners and fiddler Ken Shoji complete this fine group of seasoned pros exploring the life works of Garcia on the instruments that first inspired him.

Immerse in a celebration of Garcia, drawing from Old and in the Way, Jerry Garcia Band, Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and, of course, Grateful Dead.

Catch them on Wednesday, July 31. Doors open at 7 and showtime is 7:30. Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 at the door.
