Multiple Dove Awards, chart-topping music, and, most recently, a 2024 Grammy nomination have sustained Brian Free & Assurance’s presence at the forefront of Christian music for over 30 years. A dedication to sharing music that resonates with people everywhere, and a commitment to sharing the Gospel keeps them on the path of changing lives with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Brian Free is undeniably the most recognizable tenor of our generation. Since 1982, he has been at the forefront of Christian music since first joining Gold City Quartet. In 1993, he formed Brian Free & Assurance (BFA). Christian music has always been Brian’s first love, and fans, along with the Christian music industry, have honored him and the group with multiple Dove Awards, Brian’s 2017 GMA Hall of Fame induction, as well as a Grammy nomination in 2024.

BFA has also made a number of notable television appearances, including TBN, Gospel Music Channel, Prime Time Country (TNN), The “Today Show” (NBC), and 27 of the “Gaither Video” series. In the summer of 2014, BFA was chosen by BBC to represent Elvis Presley’s love of Gospel Music on That’s Alright Mama, a Tribute to Elvis Presley with his arrangement of “Peace In The Valley.” In 2022, BFA’s radio release “Looks Like Jesus” (featuring Jimmy Fortune) was named the #1 song of the year by Singing News. The group’s recent EP album, “Meet Me At The Cross” received a Grammy Nomination for the 2024 awards.
 
These honors and accolades show the consistent response to BFA’s music, how God has used them, and how he will continue to use them. While the guys all come from different backgrounds, they all agree on one thing, and that is to use their God-given abilities to take the message of Jesus Christ to everyone they can.

For over 30 years, the mission of Brian Free and Assurance has been to lift up Jesus Christ through their music, see souls come to know the Lord as Savior, and be an encouragement to believers across the nation and abroad. They believe in helping others grow in their walk with the Lord by forming exhorting relationships with their fans and investing in them at concerts. Everything is done for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Brian, Bill and Dayton are passionate about their calling and they are unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

 It’s a night you’ll never forget.

Arnez J is a dynamic comic known for his infectious energy, physical storytelling, and ability to leave crowds in tears of laughter. In April 2025, he released his first comedy special in 10 years, “Not Gonna Stop”, on YouTube, where it racked up over 1 million views in the first 10 days, proving once again that he’s a fan favorite who never missed a beat.

From early beginnings as a flight attendant to turning down a pro baseball career to pursue comedy, Arnez quickly rose through the ranks. After making waves as host of BET’s Comic View for two seasons, his career exploded with numerous TV appearances, including The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show, Louie Anderson’s Comedy Showcase, Comedy Central’s Make Me Laugh, NBC’s Friday Night Videos, The Mo’Nique Show, Russell Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam, his own Comic View Grandstand Hour Special, and Comedy Central Presents: Arnez J. He was most recently seen headlining Showtime’s Shaquille O’Neal Presents: All Star Comedy Jam.

His hit special “Racially Motivated,” originally released on Netflix, is now streaming on Amazon & Tubi, introducing new fans to the comedic force that is Arnez J. Still touring, still evolving, and still bringing the funny—Arnez J is back, and he’s not gonna stop.

On February 11, comedian Henry Cho was inducted as the 229th member of The Grand Ole Opry. This prestigious honor has not been extended to a comedian since 1973.

Alongside Cho, comedian Gary Mule Deer was also invited to become a member. Both men were surprised by the invitation on January 6 when Opry member and Country Music Hall of Famer Marty Stuart announced it backstage at the Ryman Auditorium during a Facebook Live event.

“After Marty surprised me with the invitation, someone asked if this was a dream come true. I had to say ‘no way!’” Cho beamed. “Because I’ve never even imagined this happening, not in any realm. I love performing on the Opry stage and it’s going to be really incredible to continue performing here, but now as a member of this historic organization.”

Cho’s TV credits include appearances on NBC’s The Tonight Show, CBS’s The Late, Late, Show, and NBC’s Young Comedians Special. He served two years as host of NBC’s Friday Night Videos and had many guest roles on various network sitcoms. Cho was co-creator, co-producer and co-writer of The Henry Cho Show on GAC.

Cho’s one hour Comedy Central Special, What’s That Clickin’ Noise? ran previously on Comedy Central and Netflix. He can also be heard daily on SiriusXM, Blue Collar Radio and Pandora. Some of Cho’s film credits include Universal’s McHale’s Navy with Tom Arnold and David Allen Greer; Say It Isn’t So with Heather Graham and Sally Field; and Material Girls with Hilary Duff and Angelica Houston produced by Madonna.

Cho was the keynote entertainer for The 59th Annual Radio & Television Correspondents’ Dinner and has worked extensively with Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Willie Nelson, Carrie Underwood, Reba and many, others. Cho’s clean comedy is so versatile that he can headline Vegas and then tour with Michael W. Smith.

Cho has performed on the Opry over 100 times, making his Opry debut April 2, 2011.

Cho is represented by Dari Bani and Alex Murray at Brillstein Entertaiment Partners.

Roger Waters found international fame as a founding member of legendary progressive rock band Pink Floyd. Selling over 250 million albums worldwide and being inducted into both the British and American Rock & Roll Halls Of Fame, Pink Floyd is one of the most influential bands of the 20th century. Roger Walters has also had tremendous success as a solo artist, releasing three studio albums and touring extensively all across the globe.

Roger was the creative force behind the prime years of Pink Floyd’s impressive run. From the classic album The Dark Side Of The Moon in 1968 until Final Cut in 1983, Walters was responsible for the lyrics, arrangement and concept behind every album they released. By the time he left the band in 1985 they had been firmly established as one of the most critically acclaimed and best selling bands in popular music history. Albums such as The Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall are some of the best selling albums of all time and still sell literally thousands of copies every year to this day.

After leaving Pink Floyd he moved into solo projects with albums such as Radio K.A.O.S and Amused To Death, once again concept albums in his unique style. In 1990 just after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he staged his most elaborate concert ever with a giant outdoor performance in Berlin where the Wall once stood. Featuring guest performances from the likes of Bryan Adams, Joni Mitchell and Cyndi Lauper, the concert registered an official attendance of over 200,000 people. The official live album, titled The Wall – Live, was released shortly afterwards and quickly went Platinum. This period of his career also saw Roger collaborate with artists such as Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck on various projects.

After taking a seven year break from both public eyes and the music industry, Roger returned with a bang in 1999 with a tour that started small and quickly grew. With more modest venues quickly selling out, more dates and larger venues were quickly added as the return tour expanded worldwide. For over three years Roger toured the world, culminating with a performance in front of over 70,000 at Glastonbury Festival in 2002. In 2005 Pink Floyd played together for one last time at charity event Live 8. Roger has continued his solo tours on and off since then, often performing special arrangements of Pink Floyd material mixed with his solo work.

THE GLOBAL SMASH HITS

AN EXTRAORDINARY NEW SHOW FROM THE CREATORS OF THE GLOBAL SMASH HITS

THE ILLUSIONISTS, CIRCUS 1903 AND LE NOIR!

Step into magical ‘Wonderland’ as Cirque Alice reimagines Lewis Carroll’s classic adventures with breathtaking twists and astonishing, gravity-defying feats.

Starring the greatest acrobatic performers from around the globe, this magnificent spectacle features stunning performances by mesmerising aerialists, mind-bending contortionists, exquisite puppetry, dancers and special guest musical and comedic artists – set against an enthralling soundtrack of newly arranged contemporary renditions of some of the world’s favourite classical hits.

Now celebrating 25 years of female empowerment through hilarious musical comedy, Menopause The Musical® has evolved as a “grassroots” movement of women who deal with life adjustments around 40 by embracing each other and the road ahead. What began with 76 women in an Orlando perfume shop-turned-theater laughing, kicklining, and celebrating menopause for the first time became a global movement. The musical shattered the stigma around menopause and turned a once-taboo topic into a badge of honor.

Set in a department store, four women meet while shopping for a black lace bra at a lingerie sale. After noticing similarities among one another, the ladies joke about their woeful hot flashes, mood swings, wrinkles, weight gain, and much more. These women form a sisterhood and a unique bond with the entire audience as they rejoice in celebrating that menopause is no longer “The Silent Passage.” It’s the Hilarious Celebration of Women and The Change!®

Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, playwright Jeanie Linders created Menopause The Musical® to celebrate women at every stage of “The Change.” The laughter-filled 90-minute production gets audience members out of their seats and singing along to parodies from classic pop songs of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.  

The original Menopause The Musical® debuted in Orlando, Florida, and ran Off-Broadway for four years, performing for more than 1,500 audiences, followed by a U.S. national tour that is still running today. In 2007, it opened internationally in the United Kingdom and has performed in countries including Australia, South Korea, Brazil, France, Slovenia, and many more. It is also the longest-running musical in Las Vegas history, performing nightly at Harrah’s Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Beloved for 25 years and seen by more than 17 million, Menopause The Musical® has played every state in the continental U.S., more than 500 cities worldwide, and has been translated into nine languages.

In 2023, Randy Bachman revived Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the legendary rock n’ roll band behind worldwide hits such as “Takin’ Care Of Business” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet”. After headlining successful tours in Canada and the US in 2024 and 2025, BTO continues its momentum with the No Speed Limit Tour in 2027, following Bachman’s acclaimed outing with former bandmate Burton Cummings as The Guess Who. 

Led by Bachman, BTO has recently revamped its lineup. “BTO has truly become a family band again,” Bachman exclaims. “My son, Tal Bachman on guitar, my daughter-in-law, KoKo Bachman on drums, and our friends Lance Lapointe on bass and Brent Knudsen on guitar. We sound better than ever. We’re playing all the hits, as well as diving deep into the album cuts, and the response from fans has been incredible. The BTO sound is BACK!” 

Bachman has become a legendary figure in the rock and roll world through his talents as a guitarist, songwriter, performer and producer. Bachman has earned over 120 gold and platinum album/singles awards around the world. His songwriting has garnered him the coveted #1 spot on radio playlists in over 20 countries and over the course of his career he has sold over 40 million records. Randy’s songs have been recorded by a broad range of artists and have been placed in dozens of TV shows, films and commercials. Impressively, his music has provided a veritable soundtrack of the last thirty years of popular music.

Bachman first scored success with his band The Guess Who in 1965 performing the song “Shakin’ All Over.” The Guess Who went on an unprecedented run of 5 singles that each sold a million copies, all the product of the gold-plated Randy Bachman-Burton Cummings songwriting team. By 1970, The Guess Who had sold more records than the entire Canadian recording industry to that point, even outselling the Beatles that year. Their hits included “These Eyes,” “Laughing,” “Undun,” “No Time,” “No Sugar Tonight,” and “American Woman.”

Randy’s success with Bachman-Turner Overdrive would eclipse his earlier triumphs and give him yet another run at the pop music charts. Monstrous hits for the band included “Let it Ride,” “Roll on Down the Highway,” “Takin’ Care of Business,” “Hey You,” “Looking Out for #1,” “Four Wheel Drive” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” which reached #1 in over 20 countries. 

Randy’s career has been built upon his unstoppable drive to work at creating music. The BTO legacy lives on, promising unforgettable performances and a continued impact on the ever-evolving rock landscape.

STOKLEY
After over two decades as the lead vocalist for the incomparable hit-making R&B band Mint Condition, singer and two-time GRAMMY Award nominee Stokley charters a new course with his breathtaking debut solo album Introducing Stokley. Featuring guest appearances by the likes of GRAMMY-winning jazz pianist Robert Glasper and Estelle as well as some production from multi-platinum duo Carvin Haggins & Ivan Barias, Introducing Stokley is a refreshing artistic statement rooted in the soul music tradition from one of R&B’s most remarkable voices.

Souled Out Groove is a sophisticated R&B, soul, and funk quartet based out of the Montgomery, Alabama area. Led by veteran musician Terrence Baldwin, the group performs energetic live shows featuring classic rhythm and blues, soul anthems, and funk hits across the Alabama region.

“Larry the Saxophonist” is a groove-driven, contemporary smooth jazz, R&B, and neo-soul saxophonist. Active across the regional southeastern live music scene and popular digital platforms, he performs vibrant renditions of classic R&B and soulful modern pocket hits, regularly headlining regional lounges, clubs, and cultural centers.

Acclaimed singer songwriter, piano virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist A.J. Croce is once again taking his celebrated Croce Plays Croce Tour across the country, bringing audiences an unforgettable evening of music that bridges generations and celebrates the enduring power of song. 

From his earliest performances as a teenager, to his critically acclaimed albums and world tours, A.J. Croce has forged a remarkable career entirely on his own terms. Over the course of three and a half decades and eleven studio albums, he has become known as an acclaimed songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and electrifying performer, with more than twenty songs reaching Billboard’s Top 40 charts across multiple genres. Celebrated for his ability to bridge styles and eras with effortless grace, Croce moves fluidly through American roots, rock ’n’ roll, blues, jazz, soul, and world music, creating a sound that is as distinctive as it is timeless. 

Throughout his remarkable career, A.J. has shared the stage with an extraordinary list of musical icons — including Ray Charles, B.B. King, James Brown, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, and Rod Stewart — each collaboration adding another layer to his deep and diverse musical story. 

Son of the legendary singer songwriter, Jim Croce, A.J purposefully waited thirty years to perform his father’s music, only introducing his acclaimed Croce Plays Croce Tour when he felt there was a meaningful way to honor his musical legacy with depth, intention, and musical integrity. Croce Plays Croce showcases that legacy in a way that few concerts can. The show features a moving and energetic blend of Jim Croce’s legendary songs — such as “Operator”, “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim”, “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” and “Time in a Bottle” — alongside AJ’s own acclaimed originals. Through stories, humor, and remarkable musicianship, A.J. connects audiences to both his father’s iconic body of work and his own evolution as one of today’s most respected artists. 

The tour continues to sell out venues nationwide, earning standing ovations and glowing reviews for its heartfelt storytelling and inspired performances. 

With over three decades of touring and recording, A.J. Croce continues to connect audiences across generations — honoring his roots while defining a legacy that is distinctly his own.

No two creative lives unfold the same way, and for Robert Earl Keen, the story was never going to end with a quiet retreat. After decades on the road, with 21 albums, countless shows, songs sung by legends like George Strait and The Highwaymen, and honors ranging from the BMI Troubadour Award to the Texas A&M Distinguished Alumni Award, he might have had every reason to slow down. But Keen has always seen the open road as a beginning, never an end.

Rather than closing the book, Keen has turned the page to something vivid, unpredictable, and wide open. A new chapter not so much about winding down as it is about doubling down. And if the last year is any indication, he is just getting started.

Keen’s calendar is fuller than ever, and the stages are getting bigger. This year alone, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut, joined Tyler Childers for a sold-out performance at the Hollywood Bowl, and helped his longtime friends Turnpike Troubadours bring the house down at Red Rocks Amphitheater. He continues to headline iconic venues across the country, host his Americana Podcast: The 51st State, write a forthcoming book, and currently working on a new studio album.

This creative bloom is not a resurgence, but a renaissance. Keen moves through it with the clarity and confidence of someone who knows exactly what he wants to express, and precisely how to shape it. Long admired for his painterly approach to songwriting, Keen writes with a visual sensitivity that brings scenes and emotions into sharp focus. His songs unfold like carefully rendered portraits or landscapes, each line adding color, texture, and depth. He captures fleeting details—a gesture, a glance, a shift in light—and transforms them into something enduring. His ability to balance specificity with subtlety gives the listener a sense of place and presence. Keen’s songwriting creates a fine line between complex story-telling and audience appeal. Beneath it all is not just momentum, but a quieter, hard-earned joy, a rhythm that comes from moving forward with purpose and the steady confidence of someone who has found his true pace.

But even as he looks ahead, Robert Keen keeps his roots close. His Annual Homecoming Weekend—an ever-growing celebration of friends, family, fans, and music—culminates in the free Fan Appreciation Day concert at John T. Floore’s Country Store, a beloved Texas institution. The event reflects Keen’s signature combination of authenticity and altruism, and his enduring connection to the people who have walked alongside him throughout his journey. This year, he also led Applause for the Cause, a major benefit concert raising over three million dollars for flood relief in the Texas Hill Country. It was a testament not just to his influence, but to his commitment to the community that has nurtured him for over two decades.

Onstage, Keen and his band are sharper, and more alive than ever, playing not to prove anything, but to celebrate everything. And every night, as the lights go up and the chorus swells, one truth becomes unmistakably clear: the road goes on forever, the party never ends, and Robert Earl Keen is still at the center of it all, guitar in hand, moving forward with grace, grit, and boundless imagination.

Taylor Hunnicutt makes old-school southern music for the modern world. She’s a proud daughter of Alabama, writing songs that nod to the state’s tradition of country storytelling, rock ‘n’ roll rebellion, and guitar-driven grit. Sharpened by a touring schedule that’s kept her on the road for roughly 200 days a year, she makes her full-length debut with Alabama Sound — an album that unfolds like a love letter to the American South, written by a road warrior who’s spent most of the decade far away from home. “It’s a little country, a little singer/songwriter, a little Americana, and a lot of soulful southern rock,” says Hunnicutt, an opera-trained vocalist who began writing songs after dropping out of music school, landing a waitressing job at a blues juke joint, and sitting in with the bands that came through town. She’s no longer the guest artist, though — she’s the main act, and Alabama Sound showcases her high-energy, hellraising brand of southern stomp, country-rock twang, and amplified attitude.

Sheryl Underwood, Lavell Crawford, Don DC Curry, Tony Rock, Adele Givens

THE TEMPTATIONS’ story is an extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one. Just a few of their classic hits that transcends all demographics –“My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and so many more. Otis Williams is the original and founding member of The Temptations – through the good times and the bad. He is the key to their history and their stories – how they met, their groundbreaking heights, personal and political conflicts, brotherhood, family, loyalty and more. As the leader and collaborator, he has set the direction and tone for the Temptations through their transitions from the 60s to now. The group’s popularity is ever-increasing, as they are one of the most iconic, bestselling brands in the world today.

The demand for the Temptations grows as each generation discovers them. Most recently, New York Mets star player Francisco Lindor chose “My Girl” as his walk-up song. The song resonated prompting the crowd at Citi Field to sing even after he reached the plate. This resulted in the Mets inviting the Temptations to perform the National Anthem and sing for the crowd at Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. This kicked off a series of television and personal appearances that hasn’t stopped.

Marking the 60th anniversary of “My Girl,” the Temptations first #1 hit, The Temptations kicked off their official celebration in November in grand style atop Wonder float at the 98th Macy’s Day Parade thrilling the crowds along the parade route as well as millions of television viewers. In between their touring schedule, they made whirlwind stops in Los Angeles and New York for national television appearances including CNN’s Thanksgiving Special, The Today Show, The View, The Sherri Shephard Show, The Motown Christmas Special, CBS Early Show, Access Hollywood, ET, and Extra. More TV appearances are scheduled throughout the year but have not been announced yet.

At every show, they meet multi-generational fans who tell them time after time, that The Temptations is a group that everyone can enjoy. And proving the point, “My Girl” officially hit one billion Spotify streams putting them among only 1000 other artists to reach this milestone.

“My Girl” celebrates several 60th anniversary chart milestones this year – No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot Rhythm & Blues, No. 1 single on the Billboard Pop charts, No. 1 on R&B chart, and #35 on the Billboard Top 200 (Pop) chart.

Continuing to create new music for their fans, The Temptations are working on a new project this year as their last album of newly written material, Temptations 60, was released in 2022.

The Temptations’ heritage, influence and contributions to, not only American culture and African American communities but also to the global music landscape are monumental. The influence that The Temptations had on mainstream and global artists, such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and others, is undeniable.

The smash hit musical, Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations, is based on the autobiography of Otis Williams. The musical captivated thousands of theatergoers with sold-out Broadway performances breaking house records and is currently touring throughout the U.S. It originally opened on Broadway in 2019 to critical acclaim and received 12 Tony nominations winning the Tony Award for Best Choreography and was nominated for a Grammy® Award in the “Best Musical Theater Album” category. The national touring production completed their 50+ city tour as well as their production in the West End at the Prince Edward Theatre, U.K.

Motown auditioned and signed the original Temptations (Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks, and Elbridge “Al” Bryant) in May of 1961. When the legendary “Classic Five,” (Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams and David Ruffin) released the single, “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” in 1964, which peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and remained on the list for 11 weeks, it marked the beginning of a multitude of award-winning and chart-topping singles and albums that would be embraced by popular music audiences globally. Considered trailblazers in the 60’s, leading the way not only for themselves but for other R&B artists, and successfully reaching mainstream audiences here and abroad, The Temptations’ rise to fame was meteoric. It was on March 6, 1965 that their first million copy, bestselling single, “My Girl” hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. The Temptations’ role as artists, and how they used their voices to speak to the times they lived through, especially during the 60’s-one of the most turbulent decades in our nation’s history, is compelling.

They were among the first African American musical artists to crossover into mainstream America and appear on popular, national mainstream television programs, such as The Ed Sullivan Show, and The Hollywood Palace. The group’s star power was so striking that these top-rated, national programs, and many others, scheduled appearances for The Temptations multiple times during a single year. At the time, this was an unparalleled accomplishment for African American entertainers.

On December 9, 1968, Diana Ross & The Supremes and The Temptations headlined a network television special TCB (Taking Care of Business), a first for two African American music groups. According to published reports at the time, the special won its time slot, was the top-rated television variety show in 1968 and received an Emmy nomination. The original cast soundtrack album, TCB, was released a week prior to the special and reached #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums’ chart. In July 1969, Motown put together a major television special for the group called The Temptations Show. In November of that same year, a third national television special, G.I.T. (Gettin’ It Together) on Broadway, starring Diana Ross & The Supremes and The Temptations aired, and according to published reports won the primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Costume Design. An accompanying soundtrack album by Diana Ross & the Supremes and The Temptations was released in advance of the television special. The Temptations helped change the face of primetime television and fueled the growth in the performing arts and entertainment world for African American artists forever.

The Temptations, throughout the group’s evolution, have produced 53 Billboard Hot 100 singles, including four Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles: “My Girl,” “I Can’t Get Next to You,” “Just My Imagination,” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.” Additionally, they released 44 Top 10 R&B chart hits, 14 of which were #1 R&B singles, including timeless classics such as “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Beauty Is Only Skin Deep,” “I Wish It Would Rain,” and songs influenced by their funk/psychedelic soul sound including “Happy People,” and “Shakey Ground.” The group also has 16 #1 R&B Chart albums. In the Spring of 2017, Billboard named The Temptations as #1 The Greatest R&B/Hip Hop Artist of All Time.

The Temptations are the recipients of numerous awards and honors. The group has been awarded more than 50 Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum awards all combined. They have been awarded five Grammy® Awards (and have received nine Grammy® nominations), including the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Grammy® Award at the 56th Annual Grammy® Awards (2013). The Temptations delivered Motown’s and their first-ever, GRAMMY® at the 11th Annual Grammy® Awards in 1969 for Best Rhythm & Blues Performance by a Duo or Group, Vocal or Instrumental, for their song, “Cloud Nine.” They won their next two GRAMMYS® at the 15th Annual Grammy® Awards in 1973 for the #1 Billboard Hot 100 Single, “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone,” which won a total of three Grammy® Awards that year: Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus, awarded to The Temptations; Best Rhythm & Blues Instrumental Performance, awarded to The Temptations and Paul Riser, and Best Rhythm & Blues Song, awarded to Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield as songwriters. The group won their fourth GRAMMY® at the 43rd Annual Grammy® Awards in 2001 for their Top 20 R&B Chart Album, Ear-Resistible for Best Traditional Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance. “My Girl,” what many call their magnum opus, was inducted into the Grammy® Hall of Fame in 1998, followed by “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” a year later in 1999.

In 1989, The Temptations were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Blockbuster #1 chart hits “Just My Imagination,” “Papa was a Rollin’ Stone,” and “My Girl” are among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.” The group was also inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999, and into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2013. They were invited back to the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2017 to receive The Rhythm & Blues Male Group of the 20th Century Award. They also received the NAACP Image Award “Hall of Fame Award” in 1992.

On September 14, 1994, The Temptations were given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, California, and on June 7, 2019, given a star on The Apollo Theater’s Walk of Fame in Harlem in New York City. At the official ceremony, Otis Williams received a plaque marking the occasion on behalf of the legendary, classic five lineup.

The Temptations were the very first group to be awarded Favorite Soul/Rhythm & Blues Band/Duo/ Group at the 1974 inaugural American Music Awards Ceremony. In 1975, The Temptations recorded their album, A Song for You, that won the American Music Award for Best Soul/Rhythm & Blues Album, at the third annual American Music Awards ceremony in 1976. The album includes two wildly popular and bestselling #1 R&B singles, “Happy People,” (co-written by Lionel Richie) featuring the Commodores as instrumentalists, and “Shakey Ground” featuring instrumentals by Parliament-Funkadelic’s Eddie Hazel with Billy “Bass” Nelson. In August 1998, The Temptations released the album, Phoenix Rising, featuring the debut of Terry Weeks, a lead vocalist for the group then, and now, and it won the Soul Train Music Award for Best Rhythm & Blues/Soul Album by a Duo or Group at the 12th annual Soul Train Music Awards in 1999. The single, “Stay,” from that album became a “Top 30” R&B single.

In 1983, Ron Tyson, one of the group’s current lead vocalists, joined The Temptations. In May of 1983, the televised anniversary special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, aired on NBC-TV and the extraordinary battle between The Temptations and the Four Tops led to a road tour together, famously called the “T’NT” tour. The two legendary groups still perform together today while on their respective concert tours.

In 1988, Otis Williams’ critically-acclaimed autobiography, Temptations, written with The New York Times bestselling author Patricia Romanowski, was published. The book went on to become the source for both the Emmy Award-Winning television miniseries, The Temptations, in 1998 and in 2019 the smash hit Broadway musical, Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations.

The Temptations’ journey, as seen through the lens of Otis Williams, was also a blockbuster television mini-series which aired in 1998. The mini-series, Temptations, was produced by long- time Temptations’ manager Shelly Berger, Otis Williams, and Suzanne de Passe, head of de Passe Entertainment, and was viewed by 45 million fans when it originally aired. The television mini-series went on to win an Emmy for Outstanding Direction for a Mini-series or Movie, as well as the 1999 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Television Movie or Mini-series. The mini-series is still on air or streaming every day somewhere in the world.

In 2006, Dr. Otis Williams received an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from Stillman College, a Historically Black College/University in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

In 2018, the Library of Congress announced the induction of The Temptations’ classic mega-hit, “My Girl” into the National Recording Registry. UMe released The Temptations’ studio album, All the Time, which was the group’s first new album in eight years. It featured three new, original Temptations’ songs, in addition to inspired renditions of songs from Maxwell, The Weeknd, Sam Smith, Bruno Mars and others. At the time of the album’s release, Otis Williams, said, “…Looking back, I never could have imagined where my life has taken me. I’m proud of what The Temptations have achieved, and I’m grateful for every opportunity we’ve been so fortunate to receive. The music carries me. Together, we lift our voices with love and wonder…”

For the 2019 holiday season, The Temptations’ released a first-of-its-kind, animated video featuring the Temptations’ “Silent Night,” one of the most popular holiday songs of all time.

On March 24, 2020, the audiobook edition of Otis Williams’ critically acclaimed autobiography, Temptations, was released. The audiobook includes a never-before-released introduction and a newly revised final chapter. Dr. Otis Williams narrates the new introduction and J.D. Jackson, an AudioFile Golden Voice Award winner, who also narrated Playing for Keeps: Michael Jordan and the World He Made by David Halberstam, narrates the book.

In June of 2020, The Temptations released, what many called a message for our times, a new, soulful version of the popular single “You’ve Got a Friend,” as a YouTube video. The group raised their voices to reflect on their 60’s struggles and pay tribute to movement for change. The group’s 60-year history spans the 20th and 21st centuries, and their music transcends generations. The Temptations’ story is a road map through American history. What began in Detroit, when a remarkable combination of soulful voices united, was the genesis of an epic journey that introduced multiple superstars to the world and produced some of the greatest music of our era.

The Temptations always look forward to serenading fans with their soulful voices, lighting up stages with their famous Temptations’ Walk and bringing joy to audiences of all ages.

For a long time, The Revivalists have been embraced as a good-times band, their swirl of indie rock, soul, folk, and even a dash of hip-hop serving a soundtrack to many summer nights. Their story, after all, has been one of youthful triumph, with a chance encounter between singer David Shaw and guitarist Zack Feinberg steadily leading to an octet that rose from the dingiest dives to the grandest American concert halls and amphitheaters. With PJ Howard and Andrew Campanelli, they are a two-drummer powerhouse anchored by bassist George Gekas and buoyed by horn man Rob Ingraham, keyboardist Michael Girardot, and pedal steel guitarist Ed Williams. But all eight members are now firmly into adulthood, with seven of them fathers. Enter Get It Honest, their sixth and most affecting album, a true grown-folks record built on songs about cutting yourself clear of a past that only drags you down and embracing the parts of your present that make you grateful to be here at all, like love and grace and salvation.

Let’s rewind, then, to the title track, the moment when Get It Honest truly began: When Shaw finally woke up for real one morning in early 2023, he barely remembered the words he’d jotted down sometime around 3 a.m. For more than a dozen years, The Revivalists singer had brought a workmanlike tenacity to songwriting, trying to do a little every day so as to keep his proverbial line in the creative waters. But the band was still three months away from releasing its fifth album, Pour It Out Into the Night, while he and his wife, Sam, were still six months away from becoming first-time parents. He was anxious, he admits, and maybe a little depressed.

Though nearly 20 years have now passed since Shaw last had a drink, the thick thread of alcoholism that winds through his family still sometimes tugs on him in moments like these. He’d been thinking about how a dram or a draft might make him feel better, at least temporarily, when he stirred in the middle of the night to write down some lines: “Well, I’m so bored, so bored of being sober/Maybe I’ll go downtown, to some bar down on Decatur.” He finished the song the next day, its verses drawing the battle lines between what he has been and can still become. It was the first time he’d ever had such a pre-dawn epiphany, the first time a song had ever arrived so urgently and simply. That song—“Get It Honest,” of course—became the record’s emotional and musical centerpiece, the point from which everything else on the mature and magnetic Get It Honest radiates.

In the past, lots of songs from The Revivalists began only with an acoustic guitar and voice. But as the band worked those old numbers up, that original germ would often recede or even disappear completely, supplanted by saxophone and percussion, steel guitar and keys. This time, though, The Revivalists quickly understood that the songs Shaw was writing—alone or with friends like Andriu “Yàno” Yanovski and Eric Krasno or with bandmates including Campanelli, Howard, and Feinberg—should retain that core, that the realizations within these words deserved to sit in the spotlight. Even colossal opener “Heart Stop,” about persevering in the face of things you love so much they threaten to tear you apart, keeps its center of tangled guitars, powerful drums, and belt-your-heart-out vocals intact. “I’m not afraid of the future comin’ my way,” Shaw howls en route to the climax, squaring up to whatever is to come. “I’m over wasting my time.”

“This one might hit a little different for everyone, and I love that. But for me, I’d say sometimes you are caught between two loves—one that’s tearing you apart and one that you know is right,” Shaw explains. “This song is the sleepless nights, the wreckage and the moment you finally surrender to what you know is there for you.”

Some songs demanded that these skilled musicians do very little, perhaps only adding a trace of percussion; others required players to try new things altogether, like when Feinberg shifted to drums for the arcing and gorgeous acoustic closer, “Lay It on Me.” Only a few years ago, squeezing eight egos into such patient and subtle songs likely wouldn’t have been possible, but experience and solidarity have at last enabled it for The Revivalists. Being alone together again with producer Rich Costey at Guilford Sound—the stunning studio in the verdant woods of Vermont, where they also recorded Pour It Out Into the Night—helped. Where The Revivalists have embraced multiple musical personalities on previous records, this one has a blessed cohesion, as if the band has finally found how it wants to sound, at least for right now.

“We let the acoustic guitar be the heart of it all the way through, pretty much with every song. So they just ring true to how they were written,” Shaw says. “It goes to the theme and the title—we just let the skeletons dance.”

“Take a deep breath and remember,” Shaw sings late into “Lost and Found,” a folk-pop headrush about reaching escape velocity with your past. “You don’t have to be who you are forever.” He delivers that mantra like a newfound bit of gospel, announcing it as an axiom of collective liberation. Get It Honest follows that lead. “Razorblades And Runways” views the past with bittersweet introspection, Shaw lamenting the days he wasted chasing a thrill or his ego but celebrating the way his family now keeps him moving forward. It is a twinkling bit of soft soul, Ingraham’s flute lighting the way. And “Love’s the Only Thing” is a heartland rock wonder, equal parts plea from an emotional abyss and a paean to the power of love to pull us out of it.

Get It Honest isn’t, though, blithely optimistic about the state of the world. The title track stares directly into the dark and acknowledges what it would mean to give in. Shaw wrote “As of Now” on New Year’s Day 2025, hours after a driver killed 14 people on Bourbon Street. “I want people to know, with our music in general, we’re here with them, down in the trenches,” Shaw says. “I don’t ever want to feel like an artist on a pedestal.” To wit, The Revivalists have long run Rev Causes, a philanthropic fund that funnels portions of ticket sales to crucial causes like mental health care, gun-violence reform, and environmental sustainability. With their words and their actions, The Revivalists simply take the time and energy to remember to look up and look ahead, to keep going.

Now that Get It Honest is done, Shaw is still grappling with what the title phrase means to him. It is, on the surface, about the inheritance we get from our family, the way our genes and our upbringing inevitably shape who we become, for better and worse. Now that he is a father who sees fresh traces of himself in his daughter each day, it’s constantly on his mind. But maybe, he admits, it’s about something more—perhaps the way we move through an increasingly wobbly world, with little control over anything apart from our responses to it? These songs are about those responses, then, about coming out on the other side of self-flagellation and doubt and getting on with the living, as honestly as you can. The Revivalists have found their own unexpected way toward whatever is up ahead. “This album,” Shaw says, “is about understanding this point and learning to work with it like a potter works the clay. Our flaws and imperfections are what ultimately make us human and beautiful.”
