Who says #Throwbacks are reserved for Thursdays? The Pop 2000 Tour delivers the TRL moments that will bring you right back to the early 2000s. POP 2000 TOUR features Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, O-Town, BBMAK, Ryan Cabrera and LFO

About the Artists:
Chris Kirkpatrick is an American singer, dancer, actor, and voice actor who is best known for his work as a founding member of the pop group *NSYNC. As a voice actor, he has worked on numerous kids shows, including voicing the character of Chip Skylark on “The Fairly Oddparents”. In 2022, he competed in Season 3 of “Celebrity Big Brother” and “The Masked Singer.”

O-Town’s story began in 1999, when “Making the Band” chronicled the rise to success of OTown throughout three seasons of the series on both ABC and MTV. The group’s first two fulllength albums included #1 singles, “Liquid Dreams” and “All or Nothing” and the Top 40 hit “We Fit Together.” “All or Nothing” was nominated for Song of the Year at the Radio Music Awards in 2001.

BBMAK Originally formed in 1997, BBMAK (Mark Barry, Christian Burns, and Stephen McNally) are officially “Back Here” after a 15-year hiatus. The multi- platinum-selling English pop group has sold more than three million albums and had hit singles worldwide before disbanding in 2003. Best known for their self- penned infectious guitar-driven hits “Back Here”, “Out of My Heart”, and “The Ghost of You and Me”, BBMAK was one of the few bands during the pop explosion of the early 2000s to play their own instruments and write their own songs. Billboard recently named “Back Here” the 9th greatest boy band song of all time.

Ryan Cabrera is the singer and songwriter behind ubiquitous smashes such as “On the Way Down,” “True” and “Shine On” as well as albums including 2004’s Take It All Away, which hit #8 on the Billboard Top 200. Ryan was also featured heavily on MTV’s “Ashlee Simpson Show” and “The Hills”.

LFO burst onto the scene in 1999 with the #1 smash hit “Summer Girls” and followed with another top-five hit in “Girl on TV” and the top-ten hit, “Every Other Time”. Today, lone surviving member Brad Fischetti keeps the name of LFO alive, performing the songs to fans, new and old.

Jackyl burst onto the scene in 1992 with their self-titled debut album on Geffen Records, defying the grunge era with a loud, unapologetic rock sound. Produced by Brendan O’Brien, the album went double platinum and spawned hits like “The Lumberjack” (featuring Jesse James Dupree’s iconic chainsaw solo), “I Stand Alone,” and “Down On Me.” Their wild energy landed them at Woodstock ’94 and earned them a loyal fanbase.

Over the years, Jackyl remained true to their roots, touring with legends like Aerosmith, KISS, ZZ Top, and Ted Nugent. They made headlines for bold stunts, including a protest against K-Mart and a chainsaw prank that led to a lawsuit. Their 1994 album “Push Comes to Shove” went platinum, and they continued making waves with 1997’s “Cut the Crap,” featuring AC/DC’s Brian Johnson.

Never slowing down, Jackyl set two Guinness World Records in 1998 by playing 100 shows in 50 days and 21 shows in 24 hours. They released “Relentless” in 2002, collaborated again with Brian Johnson, and dropped “Live at the Full Throttle Saloon” in 2004, tied to their reality TV presence on “Full Throttle Saloon.”
Celebrating 30 years, the band released “Jackyl 30 Coming In Hot” in 2022, proving their hard-hitting sound still resonates. With millions of YouTube views and a relentless touring schedule, Jackyl continues to deliver no-holds-barred rock ‘n’ roll. As Dupree puts it, “Thirty years on, we’re still celebrating the fundamentals of rock ‘n’ roll—so Get All Up In It!

In 1987, the four original members of Blues Traveler—John Popper, Chandler Kinchla, Brendan Hill, and the late Bobby Sheehan—gathered in the basement of their drummer’s parents’ home in Princeton, NJ to jam. From these high school sessions emerged a band that has since released 14 studio albums and counting. Four albums have achieved gold status, three platinum, and one six-times platinum, selling more than 10 million units worldwide.

Throughout their illustrious career, Blues Traveler has performed over 2,000 live shows, entertaining more than 30 million people. Their hit single “Run-Around” holds the record for the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history and earned them a Grammy® for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

Their music has graced films such as Blues Brothers 2000, Kingpin, and Wildflowers, among others. A television favorite, Blues Traveler has been featured on Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits, VH1’s Behind the Music, and holds the record for most appearances by any artist on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Blues Traveler’s latest album, 2021’s Traveler’s Blues, is nominated for a Grammy in the category of “Best Traditional Blues Album,” marking a full circle in their 35+ year journey.

After five decades, 38 SPECIAL continues to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year. At each and every show, thousands of audience members are amazed by the explosive power of the band’s performance.

Their many Gold and Platinum album awards stand in testament to the endurance of a legendary powerhouse.

With sales in excess of 20 million, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes, “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance,” and more. Timeless hits that remain a staple at radio, immediately recognizable from the first opening chord and paving the way to their present-day touring regimen.

Guitarist/vocalist and founding member, DON BARNES, says it’s all about maintaining that intensity in their live shows. “We never wanted to be one of those bands that had maybe gotten a little soft, or complacent over the years. We’re a team and it’s always been kind of an unspoken rule that we don’t slack up, we stack up. We go out there every night to win.”

Completing the team is bassist BARRY DUNAWAY, drummer GARY MOFFATT and keyboardist/vocalist BOBBY CAPPS. The most recent addition to the band is legendary virtuoso guitarist and vocalist JERRY RIGGS.

For 38 Special onstage, it’s a celebration of camaraderie and brotherhood, a precision unit bringing the dedication and honesty to a long history of classic songs, as well as surprisingly fresh new material.

Since 1976, the band has released more than 15 albums. And from the start, they’ve toured relentlessly, bringing their signature brand of ‘muscle and melody’ to fans worldwide.

It is that steely determination that lives on in the hearts of these ‘Wild-Eyed Southern Boys.’ Barnes adds, “This music keeps our wheels on the road. We’re a band that’s tried to stay honest with what has driven us over the years. We started out with nothing but bold determination to make our own history and to endure. Looking back now, it has been our greatest pride to have persevered and attained that level of success and longevity. For us, it’s the ultimate validation.”

“The magic’s still there,” adds Barnes. “It’s an emotional high for us to keep ‘bringing it’ after all these years. When those lights go down and we all walk up those steps to the stage and hear that crowd roar, it’s a real rush to the head.It feels like we’re getting ready to strap ourselves in and it just takes off from there.”

The group is excited to announce their 50 Year Legacy Tour and are looking forward to celebrating five decades of their signature Southern Rock roots with their multigenerational fanbase. Barnes proclaimed, “Seeing the next generation
discover our energy and passion for this music is the greatest reward!”

While Atlanta and Houston artists were establishing their cities as Southern strongholds, Rick Ross put Miami back in rap’s national spotlight with “Hustlin'” (2006), the platinum introduction to a uniquely larger-than-life character with gruffly delivered tales about the spoils and pitfalls of drug trafficking. The rapper became not only a hip-hop fixture but an unlikely pop star as well. Debut smash Port of Miami, and all nine of Ross’ subsequent studio albums, including the Grammy-nominated God Forgives, I Don’t (2012) and Port of Miami 2 (2019), have entered the Top Ten of the Billboard 200, promoted with high-rolling, RIAA-certified singles such as “The Boss” and “Aston Martin Music.” Through his own label, Maybach Music — the name of which has been imprinted on virtually every Ross recording since 2009 — Ross has boosted the careers of fellow artists Gunplay, Wale, and Meek Mill. His multitude of guest verses have likewise supported hits by the likes of DJ Khaled (beginning with “We Takin’ Over”), Kanye West (“Monster”), Maybach’s French Montana (“Pop That”), Ace Hood (“Bugatti”), and Chris Brown (“New Flame”). Ross carried his success into the next decade with 2021’s Richer Than I Ever Been.

The Clarksdale, Mississippi-born William Roberts grew up in Carol City, Florida, an impoverished northern suburb of Miami. Influenced by artists like Luther Campbell and the Notorious B.I.G., Roberts began rapping in the mid- ’90s and formed a local group, the Carol City Cartel. Taking his performing name from Los Angeles drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross, Roberts had a brief stint on Houston’s Suave House Records, former label of 8Ball & MJG, before he ended up on Miami-based Slip-N-Slide Records, the label home of Trick Daddy and Trina. During the early to mid-2000s, Rick Ross the rapper became popular and well-known locally through touring with Trick Daddy and appearing as a guest on a few Slip-N-Slide releases.

Once “Hustlin’,” Ross’ Runners-produced debut as a lead artist, caught the ears of music executives, a bidding war ensued that included offers from Bad Boy CEO Sean “Diddy” Combs and the Inc (formerly Murder Inc.) president Irv Gotti. Nonetheless, Def Jam president and veteran rapper Jay-Z signed Ross to a multi-million-dollar deal. A Miami anthem, “Hustlin'” was given a new life with Def Jam backing. Gold and a number seven R&B/hip-hop hit by the end of June 2006, it reached platinum status in August, the same month Ross released Port of Miami, his Billboard 200-topping LP debut. The album’s commercial longevity was extended by the Scarface-referencing “Push It,” Ross’ second Top Ten R&B/hip-hop single. Two more chart-topping albums, 2008’s Trilla and the next year’s Deeper Than Rap, made Ross a bankable artist with “The Boss,” “Here I Am,” and “Magnificent” adding to his sum of Top Ten R&B/hip-hop entries. Linked with Def Jam long term and still affiliated with Slip-N-Slide, he also launched a label of his own, Maybach Music Group. Furthermore, he was called upon by numerous fellow headliners for guest verses. Khaled alone scored with Ross-assisted triumphs such as “We Takin’ Over,” “I’m So Hood,” and “Out Here Grindin’.”

Ross’ grip rarely slackened throughout the 2010s. During the decade’s first half, he narrowly missed the top of the Billboard 200 with 2010’s Teflon Don, only to crown the chart again with 2012’s God Forgives, I Don’t and 2014’s Mastermind. He also earned his first Grammy nominations. “I’m on One,” yet another Khaled track, was up for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, and God Forgives was later nominated for Best Rap Album. Frequently heard at least once during any given hour of urban contemporary radio programming, Ross expanded his hits list with tracks such as “Super High,” “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast),” “Aston Martin Music,” and “Diced Pineapples,” co-starred on a stream of airwaves staples by Khaled (including “All I Do Is Win”), Kanye West (“Monster”), Lil Wayne (“John”), Ace Hood (“Bugatti”), Chris Brown (the Grammy-nominated “New Flame”), and Maybach signees Wale, Meek Mill, and French Montana. Additionally through 2014, Ross steered three volumes of the Maybach compilation series Self Made into the Top Ten of the album chart. Maybach was similarly successful with artist albums from Wale, Meek, and Montana, plus Hood Billionaire, Ross’ second album of 2014 and his fifth solo LP to top the Billboard 200.

From 2015 through 2019, Ross placed only one more headlining single in the R&B/hip-hop Top Ten, and it was for Suicide Squad: The Album — “Purple Lamborghini,” a Skrillex collaboration nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Song Written for Visual Media. However, Ross continued to ride high with singles on which he was featured — Khaled’s “Do You Mind” was the most successful of all — and his LPs. After the number six hit Black Market closed out his Def Jam era in 2015, Ross signed with Epic, thereby reconnecting (albeit briefly) with former Def Jam executive L.A. Reid.

Ross’ new chapter officially started in 2017 with the number three entry Rather You Than Me. It continued in 2019 with Port of Miami 2. The sequel to his debut continued his career-long streak of Top Ten albums and was his most personal recording yet, reflecting upon the death of longtime associate and manager Black Bo and a personal health scare, two major setbacks he had experienced the previous year. The album’s Drake-assisted single “Gold Roses” scored a nomination for Best Rap Song in the 2020 Grammy Awards. Several collaborations marked Ross’ output that year including “Entanglement” with August Alsina and “Pinned to the Cross” featuring Finn Matthews. The latter song, along with 2021’s Jazmine Sullivan and 21 Savage-assisted “Outlawz,” marked the first taste of Ross’ 11th album, Richer Than I Ever Been. It was released in December 2021 and featured appearances by Wiz Khalifa, the-Dream, Future, Timbaland, and Wale.

STEEL PANTHER
For the uninitiated, Steel Panther was formed in 2000. Hailing from Los Angeles, the epicenter for rock n’ roll in all its debauchery and glamour, Steel Panther has established themselves as the world’s premier party band, melding hard rock virtuosity with parody and criminally good looks. Steel Panther is a global phenomenon with four full-length albums, touring across the world, platinum-level YouTube status and high-profile television appearances such as Jimmy Kimmel Live, Larry King Now, and FOX NFL Sunday. 

Rolling Stone avowed, “There’s a reason Steel Panther have transcended their origins as a cover band playing the Sunset Strip,” while Metal Sucks declared, Steel Panther’s concept is genius…their songwriting is…preposterously snappy – and relatable.”

BUCKCHERRY
Buckcherry is unique, complex, simple, passionate, explosive, original, and always a good time. BC has been my love, my pain, my passion and I’m so proud of what we have accomplished. I never knew when I started this that dedicating myself to music would be taking on so much responsibility. For a guy who never thought he was going to live past 30 this has been an incredible journey. Our ninth record HELLBOUND marks 22 years since our debut self-titled release and what an amazing roller coaster we have been on. From hit songs to platinum and gold records and millions of fans worldwide – all during a time period when traditional sounding hard rock bands didn’t exist – except for Buckcherry. We beat the odds and built our reputation on the live shows, and our “one of a kind” approach to every opportunity. When the pandemic hit, we had to shift gears like everyone else and it was anything but comfortable. The good news is when this band is backed up against the wall, we produce our best music. HELLBOUND reflects just that. Teaming up with Marti Fredrickson again was so inspiring. He really brings out the best of us and becomes the sixth band member when we are together. There is this mutual respect and passion going on that makes it effortless and fun.

There was so much going on in the world that it was easy to find subject matter for song writing. Songs like BARRICADE and JUNK reflect that, but I also was reminiscing about the moment when I “sold my soul to rock n’ roll”. I will never forget it. It was the very first performance at a house party in Orange County, CA. I knew in that moment that there was no looking back, and no “plan B”. It was only victory or death. The title track HELLBOUND reflects that very moment and is one of my favorite tracks. Part of what I loved about rock records growing up was the dynamics from song to song, you had mid-tempo songs, ballads, and rockers and HELLBOUND is a great reflection of that. Songs like NO MORE LIES, AIN’T WASTING NO MORE TIME, and THE WAY really capture the depth and emotion of not only the world situation but also the personal struggle. Then you must have those quintessential Buckcherry tracks like SO HOT, 5-4-3-2-1, HERE I COME and GUN that I can see our long time fans really appreciating.

Through adversity Buckcherry has had its greatest moments and we are having one right now with HELLBOUND I hope you enjoy it, and we will see you at the rock show!!

Brass Transit was formed in 2008 and brought together 8 of the most talented and accomplished award winning musicians. Their sole purpose was to pay tribute to one of the world’s greatest and most successful pop/rock groups of all time, CHICAGO. Since then, the group has toured North America dazzling audiences with their flawless performances and spectacular attention to every detail of the CHICAGO songbook. Hits like “Saturday in the Park,” “25 or 6 to 4,” “If You Leave Me Now,” and “You’re the Inspiration” have left crowds in awe and on their feet more than once during a show, evoking comments like “Spine-tingling,” “Brought me back to my youth,” and “Perfect in every detail.” Brass Transit goes far beyond just imitating the songs, they embody the music. They recently produced their first CD taking top hits from the 70’s and recording them with horns in the CHICAGO style. The result is a fresh approach to some of the greatest hits of that era. They have also just recently scored their show for full Symphony with luscious orchestral arrangements that are truly spellbinding. Brass Transit will bring you back to the most memorable times of your life.
