Victoria Victoria is the North Carolina–based brainchild of singer-songwriter-producer Tori Elliott. The year 2016 saw the release of Victoria Victoria’s debut album, “Coastal Beast.” From there, Tori’s songs have been featured on reality TV shows such as “Love Island,” in the 2020 thriller “Getaway,” and more. Most recently, Tori teamed up with guitarist/producer Charlie Hunter, and together they wrote and released their nine-song album “To the Wayside.” Already compared to the likes of modern songwriting giants Maggie Rogers, Regina Spektor and Carole King, Tori Elliott leans into lusciously stacked harmonies and entrancing melodies. Her songs speak to the relatability and nuances of love, relationships, and growing older. Tori resides in Winston Salem, North Carolina, where she can often be found writing and recording her songs in her home studio, Strange Kid Studios.

Tommy Prine picked up a guitar at age ten and started picking melodies. Though he has crafted his own unique sound over the years, he learned from observing one of the best. He is the son of the late legendary multi Grammy award-winning artist, John Prine. And there is a certain physical resemblance! The hallmarks of Tommy’s sound come from his unique finger-picking style combined with soul-stirring songwriting. His songs pull inspiration from childhood adventures in the creek with his big brother, to losing his father at the beginning of the pandemic, falling in love, and everything in between. Tommy’s debut album, “This Far South,” was recorded during the pandemic in 2021 and has just been released. We are excited to present Tommy Prine in his Ark debut! Kentucky singer-songwriter Jordan Smart opens.

Songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and poet Max Lockwood has a sound rooted in songcraft and heartfelt lyricism. His music is a unification of rock & roll with folk and pop. With full arrangements and rich, poetic lyrics Max creates deep, sonic landscapes that reveal truths of love, adversity, growth. The intertwined essences bring a thoughtful and fresh new take on the singer-songwriter genre. Max channels the flair of Tom Petty and the eloquence of the Beat Generation’s finest to create his distinctive sound. His powerful voice, akin to Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen, draws listeners in with its raw emotion. Max tells a story with each song with rich, vulnerable tones and unbridled spirit. When Max Lockwood sings, he captures the attention of any crowd.

Talk to any Adam Ezra Group fan around the country, and they’ll tell you that each AEG performance is a one-of-a-kind, community-driven experience, propelled by the spirit of the people in front of the stage. For both fans and band members alike, an AEG concert is a rally to live life with intensity and soak in the moments we share with one another. Hailing from Boston, AEG has an unconventional approach that allows them to surge beyond their beloved hometown and emerge as one of the most uniquely powerful, underground live music experiences in the country. While Ezra has played with an array of musicians over the years, his current lineup has been creating a new buzz around the country, as evidenced by their heavy tour schedule, ballooning tickets sales, and opening features with The Wallflowers, Galactic, John Oates, The Wailers, Southside Johnny, Graham Parker, and America. With no set lists, every AEG show provides new and unique concert experiences that the band has been recording in real time and sharing with fans on thumbs drives as part of their “Live Sound Project” every night. Go to any Adam Ezra show, solo or with the group, and you will not only find fans who have traveled vast distances to be there, but also doubtless a fair number of rabid followers accumulating as many AEG shows as possible throughout the year. You may have seen one of Adam’s 500 live online shows during the pandemic—now check him out live!
