Watson’s independent Texas spirit and strong work ethic have kept him in the country scene for 20 years. With more than a dozen albums under his belt, Watson is exceeding major label-sized metrics while maintaining his independence.

His 2015 album, “The Underdog,” was the first independent album in the history of country music to top the Billboard Country Albums chart. Watson followed up that success in 2017 with “Vaquero,” with the Top 10 hit “Outta Style” earning a BMI Millionaire award. His latest album, “Red Bandana,” was released last year and received critical acclaim from several media outlets.

Gilley and Lee have earned an outstanding 38 chart singles with 20 No. 1 hits including Gilley’s “Room Full of Roses,” “Don’t the Girls all Get Prettier at Closing Time,” and Lee’s “Cherokee Fiddle” and “Lookin’ for Love.”

Mickey Gilley first scored his first string of consecutive No. 1 hits in the 1970s that included “I Overlooked an Orchid,” “City Lights” and “Window Up Above.” In 1976, he swept the ACM Awards, winning Entertainer of the Year, Top Male Vocalist, Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Album of the Year. In the 80s, he became a smooth crooner of country love songs like “That’s All That Matters to Me,” “Headache Tomorrow, Heartache Tonight,” “I’m Just a Fool for Your Love” and “Paradise Tonight.”

Johnny Lee’s career kick started in 1968 when he paired up with Gilley both on the road and in the nightclub in Pasadena, Texas. He was later asked to perform in “Urban Cowboy” and record several songs for the soundtrack. “Lookin’ for Love,” from that same soundtrack, became Lee’s first Gold record. The song spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard Country Music Singles Charts as No. 1, and No. 2 on the Pop Music Singles Charts. His other hits include “One in a Million,” “Bet Your Heart on Me,” “You Could’ve Heard a Heart Break,” and “Pickin’ Up Strangers.”

“Rain – A Tribute to the Beatles” is a mind-blowing performance that takes you back in time with the legendary foursome delivering a note-for-note theatrical event that is considered by critics to be the next best thing to seeing the Beatles in concert.

Musician and actor Steve Landes heads up the tribute band playing the role of John Lennon on vocals, rhythm guitar, piano and harmonica. A life-long, second-generation Beatles fan, Landes has performed alongside legendary sixties artists Peter Noone (“Herman’s Hermits”), Joey Molland (“Badfinger”), Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels and Tiny Tim. As an actor, he appeared in films “Wedding Bell Blues,” “For Which He Stands” and Tim Burton’s “Mars Attacks!”

Paul Curatolo’s love for the Beatles has driven him to master vocals, bass, piano, guitar and the character of Paul McCartney down to every detail. With the Beatles as his biggest influence growing up, he recorded five albums and toured the U.S. with the pop band Wayward when he was 14.

On vocals and lead guitar as George Harrison, Alastar McNeil is the newest member to “Rain – A Tribute to the Beatles.” Born and raised in Hawaii, he started his career as an ukulele luthier and eventually fulfilled the dream of being a full time musician. McNeil and his wife Miwa have played with the iconic band Kupaina for years, earning a solid reputation among other Honolulu bands.

Aaron Chiazza takes over on drums, percussion and vocals as Ringo Starr. Chiazza began playing music at the young age of five when his parents gifted him a drumset. From there, he went on to study music academically. Amongst original projects, writing and shows, Chiazza also loves being an audio engineer and artist.

As one of a handful of artists to have new albums charting in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and the 21st century, Tony Bennett has achieved legendary status and introduced a multitude of songs that have since become standards for pop music, including “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” “I Wanna Be Around,” “Stranger in Paradise,” “Rags to Riches” and “Because of You.”

The 93-year-old’s popularity has soared in the new millennium with more than 10 million albums sold in the last 11 years. In 2011, “Duets II” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Album charts, making Bennett the only artist at the age of 85 to achieve this. His collaborative jazz album with Lady Gaga, released in 2014, “Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 album charts making then-88-year-old Bennett the oldest artist to reach that accomplishment once again.

Bennett has received 19 Grammy Awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, 2 Emmy Awards and is a Kennedy Center Honoree and NEA Jazz Master. In 2017, he became the first interpretive singer to be honored by the Library of Congress receiving The Gershwin Prize.

Bennett is a World War II veteran who fought in the Battle of the Bulge and participated in the liberation of a concentration camp, marched side by side with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Selma and has performed for 11 U.S. Presidents. His love for his country earned him the distinction of national treasure and United Nations has named him a Citizen of the World as one of their foremost ambassadors. In 1999, Bennett, along with his wife Susan Benedetto, founded Exploring the Arts to strengthen the role of the arts in public high school education.

With two #1 singles, 7 Top 10’s and multiple awards, Easton Corbin continues to make a lasting impression on country music. The Florida native is lauded for his unapologetic traditional country sound, with hits like “A Little More Country Than That”, “Roll With It” and “Baby Be My Love Song.”

Coming hot off a triumphant, yearlong celebration of their 25th anniversary in 2019, the very last thing Collective Soul plan on doing in 2020 is rest on their laurels. If anything, these five fiery Georgia-bred rockers are only just getting started with the next phase of a thriving career that has seen them move millions of records and wow multitudes of fans all across the globe. Thanks to the warm reception of their acclaimed 2019 album release “Blood,” Collective Soul are quite galvanized to add as much fresh material into their live sets as they can.

Collective Soul absolutely have a right to be proud of their new music, given that a number of key “Blood” tracks all fit seamlessly into their always dynamic live sets. Indeed, the hard charging positivity of “Right as Rain,” the deeply introspective “Observation of Thoughts,” the full-throttle insistence of “Over Me,” and the good vibes of “Porch Swing” all stand tall live alongside such indelibly durable hits like “Shine,” “December,” “The World I Know,” “Gel,” “AYTA,” and “Heavy.”

Such effortless set list integration really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, considering how smoothly Collective Soul leapt into the national consciousness with the unbridled achievements of their multi-platinum 1993 debut “Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid,” a career-making debut album that contains such mega-smash hits like the aforementioned “Shine” and “Breathe.” In one fell swoop, the album cemented Collective Soul’s status as the jukebox heroes of a new generation.
