| | BEATLEMANIA AGAIN
Friday, June 26, 2026
7 PM
Relive the music, the magic, and the mania.
At 1:20 PM on February 7, 1964, four young Brits arrived at New York’s Idlewild Airport and sent shockwaves through the world of music. Just two days later, 73 million Americans tuned in to The Ed Sullivan Show and witnessed a cultural revolution. Now, you have the chance to relive every electrifying moment.
For over two decades, Beatlemania Again has thrilled audiences across the U.S. and Canada with live performances of more than 30 Beatles hits. The show takes fans through the band’s evolution, from the Ed Sullivan era to Sgt. Pepper to Abbey Road.
What truly distinguishes Beatlemania Again is their devotion to authenticity. Every note is played on the same instruments The Beatles made famous: Hofner basses, Rickenbacker and Gretsch guitars, Vox amps, and Black Oyster Pearl Ludwig drums. The result is a show that captures not only the iconic look, but the sound of music legends.
Whether you grew up with The Beatles or are discovering their music for the first time, don’t miss your chance to experience this unforgettable show.
As Broadway World put it: "If I closed my eyes, musically, I would not have known the difference." | Buy tickets |

| | JAMES TAYLOR TRIBUTE
STEAMROLLER
Friday, September 4, 2026
7 PM
Sweet Baby James IS Back Again
Back at Cheney Hall as a solo performer, Sam Hyman, Steamroller, has toured the United States since 2019, bringing Taylor's most beloved catalog to audiences who know every word and feel every note. Sam's musical pedigree runs deep: a BMI writer and publisher with a degree from Mercyhurst University's D'Angelo School of Music, he has composed for global music libraries, scored international television productions, and placed original work with Warner Bros. Music Group. When he steps onstage to perform as James Taylor, he brings that same depth of craft and care.
But this isn't just a greatest-hits rundown. Between songs, Sam shares the stories behind the music, the moments of heartbreak, hope, and wandering that gave these classics their meaning. Audiences sing along, lean in, and leave feeling something real.

| | 90S ROCK
ALTERNATIVE FIX BAND
Saturday, September 5, 2026
7 PM
The raw power of 90s rock COMES back to life
There are cover bands, and then there's Alternative Fix. Fronted by Ukrainian vocal sensation Alex Nikki, this is a show built around a simple but extraordinary premise: what if one performer could channel Chris Cornell's volcanic intensity, Alanis Morissette's unfiltered fury, Melissa Etheridge's gut-punch emotionality, Gwen Stefani's effortless cool, and Layne Staley's haunting depth, all in the same night? The answer is Alternative Fix, and it's unlike anything else on the tribute circuit.
The setlist runs deep: Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, No Doubt, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Radiohead, Garbage, The Cranberries, and more.
This was the decade that rewrote the rules of rock, when anger was art and vulnerability was power. Alternative Fix doesn't look back at the 90s with nostalgia. It brings that energy into the room.
This band reminds you exactly why those songs hit so hard in the first place. | Buy tickets |

SILK CITY JAZZ BAND
Sunday, September 6, 2026
4 PM
Old Standards, New Memories
There is a reason these songs have never gone out of style. The Great American Songbook was built to last, and the Silk City Jazz Band plays it as they know it. Based in Manchester, Connecticut, this ensemble specializes in the music of the Big Band era: the swing standards, the timeless ballads, and the lively tunes that once filled the great dance halls and supper clubs of mid-century America.
The band takes its name from Manchester's storied past as the Silk City, home to the legendary Cheney Brothers mills that once made this town famous worldwide. That same pride in craft and local identity runs through every performance. This isn't background music. It's an event, full of the charm, elegance, and infectious energy that defined an era when a great orchestra could make an entire room move.
A night with the Silk City Jazz Band draws you in from the first note and brings the golden age of swing back to Connecticut, with the elegance, warmth, and joy that have kept this music alive for a century.
Tap your feet, settle in, and let the music work its magic: taking you somewhere better. | Buy tickets |

| | NEIL YOUNG TRIBUTE BAND
HARVEST AND RUST
Saturday, September 19, 2026
7 PM
The Neil Young Tribute That Keeps Selling Out Rooms Across the Northeast
Neil Young always follows his own path. A catalog that stretches from hushed acoustic folk to blistering electric rock, from country-tinged tenderness to protest anthems that still sting decades later. Paying proper tribute to that kind of restless, shape-shifting genius takes more than a good guitar player. It takes a band that genuinely loves the music.
That's exactly what Harvest and Rust is. Led by frontman Garrett Lechowski, the Western Massachusetts-based five-piece covers the full sweep of Young's career with a rotating setlist drawn from more than 70 songs, including classics from his solo work, his years with Buffalo Springfield, and his time with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. No two shows are alike by design, mirroring Young's own refusal to be predictable. Whether the night calls for the quiet ache of "Harvest Moon," the grinding intensity of "Cortez the Killer," or the anthemic fury of "Rockin' in the Free World," Harvest and Rust delivers it with the kind of precision and passion that keeps audiences on their feet and coming back for more.

| | CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL TRIBUTE
GREEN RIVER
Saturday, October 3, 2026
7 PM
The hits, the groove, and the grit of CCR, performed exactly as you remember them.
Some bands define an era. Creedence Clearwater Revival defined a feeling. Bayou-soaked grooves, blue-collar grit, and hooks so good they never left the radio. For 15 years, Green River has been keeping that feeling alive with a tribute show that doesn't cut corners on accuracy, energy, or soul.
The result is a show that earns the word "authentic." Spot-on vocals, gritty guitar work, and that unmistakable southern rock groove carry the audience straight back to the late 60s and early 70s, the golden era of American rock. "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Fortunate Son," "Down on the Corner," and deep cuts fans actually want to hear all find their way into a setlist built for celebration.
Now entering its 15th Anniversary Legacy Tour, Green River is performing all the hits from John Fogerty's Legacy Album, as well as fan-picked favorites, at concert halls, theaters, and festivals across the country throughout the year. It is the right moment to experience a band that has spent a decade and a half perfecting this show.
Green River is not just a tribute act. It is the real thing, one night at a time. | Buy tickets |
| | YUSUF/CAT STEVENS & HARRY CHAPIN TRIBUTE
WILD TAXI
Friday, October 9, 2026
7 PM
Two Legends. One Unforgettable Night.
Few singer-songwriters have ever cut as deeply as Harry Chapin and Cat Stevens. One wrote working-class stories with the weight of short fiction. The other captured the restless beauty of youth and spiritual searching in melodies that still feel brand new. Together on one stage, their music makes for an evening that is equal parts warmth, nostalgia, and genuine emotion.
The setlist draws from two of the most beloved records in the folk-rock canon: Chapin's 1976 live masterwork "Greatest Stories Live" and Stevens' landmark "Tea for the Tillerman." Expect the songs you already love, including "Cat's in the Cradle," "Wild World," "Taxi," and "Father and Son," performed with the care and authenticity that have built Satinwood's reputation.

| | KENNY ROGERS & DOLLY PARTON TRIBUTE
REAL LOVE
Sunday, October 11, 2026
4 PM
Real Love brings the charm, the chemistry, and six decades of unforgettable hits.
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton didn't just make great music together. They made each other better. Their onstage chemistry was the kind you can't manufacture, full of warmth, wit, and a genuine affection that audiences felt from the first note to the last. Real Love captures all of it.
The evening opens with Dolly. Laurie Lynn has been performing country music since the age of nine, and her remarkable vibrato voice and irresistible humor make her portrayal of Parton feel less like a tribute and more like the real thing. She works through the full sweep of Dolly's catalog, "Baby I'm Burning," "Here You Come Again," "Jolene," "Coat of Many Colors," "Why'd Ya Come In Here," "9 to 5," and "I Will Always Love You," with the same spunky, homespun banter that made Parton one of the most beloved entertainers in American history.
Then Kenny takes the stage. Alan Turner is an award-winning country recording artist with his own hit singles and a 2025 Josie Music Award nomination for Outstanding Male Tribute Artist in Nashville. His set runs deep through Rogers' catalog: "Lucille," "Ruby," "Coward of the County," "Lady," "Through the Years," "She Believes in Me," "Reuben James," "Just Dropped In," and of course, "The Gambler." Not a single song on the list needs an introduction.
The night closes the way Kenny and Dolly always did it best: together. "We've Got Tonight," "You Can't Make Old Friends," and "Islands in the Stream" close out an evening that feels less like a tribute show and more like a reunion with two old friends you've missed dearly.
For fans who grew up with these songs and for anyone who simply loves great country music performed at the highest level, this is the night to be at Cheney Hall.

| | A TRIBUTE TO FEMALE VOCAL LEGENDS
CROWNED28
Friday, October 16, 2026
7 PM
28 Icons. Three Voices. One Night That Changes Everything
From Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin to Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Cher, Lady Gaga, and Adele, the women who built popular music did it with power, personality, and voices that stopped rooms cold. CROWNED28 honors all of them, 28 icons in a single unforgettable night, and it does it in a way no standard tribute show comes close to matching.
Created and led by New England vocalist and producer Jordan Quinn, CROWNED28 grew out of a simple but thrilling idea: what if one show could do justice to the full sweep of female artistry across every era and genre, and do it live, with choreography, dazzling costume transformations, and three-part harmonies that raise the roof? The answer is a show that has already earned standing ovations at Blue Ocean Music Hall and packed houses across the region.
Quinn is joined onstage by Mariah Delage, winner of the Best Voice in Keene competition and a seasoned theatrical performer, and Aysa Carnucci, a dynamic vocalist and dancer with deep roots in New England's performing arts community. Together, the trio doesn't just impersonate these icons. They inhabit them, bringing their own theatrical flair and genuine vocal firepower to anthems like "She Works Hard for the Money," "Edge of Seventeen," "Holding Out for a Hero," "Lady Marmalade," and "I Say a Little Prayer."

| | U2 TRIBUTE
WIDE AWAKE
Friday, October 23, 2026
7 PM
Any U2 tribute can play "With or Without You." Wide Awake plays "An Cat Dubh."
That distinction matters. Built from the ground up by professional touring musicians who are every bit as obsessed with U2 as the fans who fill the venues, Wide Awake has set itself apart by going deeper into the catalog than almost anyone else dares. Yes, "Where the Streets Have No Name," "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," and "With or Without You" are all here, played with the faithfulness and live energy those songs demand. But it's the material that made longtime fans do a double take, songs like "Into the Heart," "Trip Through Your Wires," "Running to Stand Still," and "The Unforgettable Fire," that make a Wide Awake show feel genuinely special.
One audience member, an Irishman from Dublin who had seen every U2 tour since the Joshua Tree show in 1987, put it plainly after a recent performance: "Wide Awake's version of 'Wild Horses' was better than any time he had seen U2 play it."
Wide Awake is one of the fastest growing U2 tributes in the country, performing 40 years of the most iconic rock catalog ever made, the big anthems, and the songs U2 rarely plays anymore.
For fans who have seen the real thing and for those who simply love great rock music performed with precision and passion, this is the show that delivers. | Buy tickets |

NASHVILLE CHRISTMAS
Saturday, December 19, 2026
7 PM
Christmas the Way It Was Meant to Sound
Nashville Christmas brings the warmth, the stories, and the songs of a classic country holiday to Cheney Hall for one festive night you won't want to miss.
There is a reason country music owns Christmas. No other genre captures the season quite the same way: the warmth of family, the ache of distance, the simple joy of a good melody on a cold December night. Nashville Christmas brings all of that to Cheney Hall, wrapping the holiday classics you already love in the rich, unhurried sound of the American South.
From the timeless carols that have anchored every Christmas you can remember to the boot-stomping originals that made country radio the soundtrack of the holidays, this is a show built around great songs performed with genuine heart. Pull up a table, pour a drink, and let the music do the rest.

THE UGLY SWEATERZ
Sunday, December 20, 2026
4 PM
The Ugly Sweaterz only show up once a year. Make sure you're in the room when they do.
Some holiday traditions you decorate for. Some you bake for. This one, you buy tickets for.
The Ugly Sweaterz are a Connecticut institution, an eight-piece all-star band that surfaces every December for one reason: to throw the best holiday party in the state. If you've been to Blue Back Square, Evergreen Walk, or Glow Hartford during the holidays, you've probably already heard them. They're the band that welcomed Santa, lit the trees, and got the whole crowd moving before anyone had a chance to feel self-conscious about it.
At Cheney Hall, they bring that same high-energy, full-production show indoors, with vocalists Joe Tralongo and Jessica Glasser out front, a full horn section with saxophone and trombone, and a rhythm section that keeps the whole room on its feet. The set moves seamlessly from classic holiday favorites to the kind of Top 40 crowd-pleasers that remind you why a great live band beats a playlist every time.
Pull up a table, grab a drink, and wear the sweater. You know the one. | Buy tickets |
