On July 12, enjoy the hit music of Rick Springfield! He is the creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, with hits including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” "I've Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody” and “Human Touch.” Springfield’s also an accomplished actor who has starred opposite Meryl Streep in the feature film “Ricki and the Flash,” among many other acting credits. Both his candid 2010 memoir, “Late, Late at Night” (which Rolling Stone named one of the 25 greatest rock memoirs of all time), and his 2014 comedic novel, “Magnificent Vibration,” earned rave reviews and spots on the New York Times Best Sellers’ list. In 2014, Springfield was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located around the corner from the first apartment he lived in when he first arrived in the U.S. from Australia in 1971. Since 2008, Springfield’s SiriusXM radio show, “Working Class DJ,” has been a huge hit. It airs weekly on “80s on 8.”

On July 24 be entranced by The Tea Party – who have come to be regarded as one of the most innovative rock bands, with a sound that incorporates everything from traditional instrumentation from around the world, to cutting-edge digital technology. The multi-Platinum-selling trio, consisting of singer/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Martin, bassist and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Chatwood and drummer/percussionist Jeff Burrows, returned with “Sunshower,” a collection of five new songs that showcase why they continue to occupy a unique place within the ever-changing musical landscape. “Sunshower” served as a companion piece to the EP “Black River,” presenting a message of hope. Together, the EPs will comprise the eventual full-length album “Blood Moon Rising,” officially marking the latest chapter in The Tea Party’s incredible journey. Career hits include “Heaven Coming Down,” “Temptation” and “The Messenger.” 

Joining as a special guest is Bif Naked, a genre-defining hit maker for chart-dominating anthems such as "Spaceman," "I Love Myself Today" "Tango Shoes" and "Lucky.”
