All reservations are subject to a food and drink minimum of $15 per guest. Gratuity of 20% is automatically added to all food and beverage purchases. Fred EaglesmithWebsite | Facebook | Instagram Fred Eaglesmith has played them all; from television’s The Late Show with David Letterman to the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville to the refined acoustics of the Lincoln Center\, but this fall\, Canada’s most uncompromising troubadour brings his whip-smart songwriting and road-tested show back to the very communities that inspired him.  And you won’t want to miss it.  The Juno Award winning poet of rural Canada has spent four decades turning service station stories\, county fair romances\, broken down old tractors\, and gravel roads into timeless songs. His devoted fan base\, affectionately known as ‘Fred Heads’ and a reputation for delivering shows that are equal parts intimate and electrifying have established this founder of alt-country as the benchmark for his contemporaries as well as aspiring artists. Eaglesmith’s songs\, filled with wit\, heart\, and unvarnished truth have been covered by the likes of Alan Jackson\, Toby Keith\, Miranda Lambert and countless others. Over 120 artists from Bluegrass to Punk have recorded his popular tune\, “Alcohol & Pills.” His hit\, “Trucker Speed\,” has been named to the 100 Top Americana Songs of All Time and garnered over 60 million views with over 6 thousand independent videos having been created on Tik Tok.  For the last 15 years\, Eaglesmith has been joined by Texas-born\, multi-instrumentalist\, Tif Ginn\, who also happens to be his wife. Together they have developed a musical symbiosis that only comes from countless miles\, shared stages and an undeniable chemistry. And now with the addition of their band\, which includes their 16-year-old\, 30-year-old songs land like fresh revelations and new tunes take shape in real time.  Eaglesmith carries the weight of a legend lightly. After a lifetime of touring and 25 albums under his belt he’d have every right to rest on his laurels. Instead\, he’s doing what he’s always done: pointing the truck toward Canada’s backroads\, where the next great night of music waits to be sparked. His signature sound of country soul & rock energy with his between-song tales only he can tell- equally hilarious & heartbreaking\, make the Fred Eaglesmith Show unmatched. Fred doesn’t just perform in these small towns\, he plugs into their heartbeat-after all these years\, that’s still his superpower.

Helms & The Virginia Creepers DESCRIPTION:Colby T. Helms appearing at The Tin Pan in Richmond\, VABox Office: The Tin Pan charges lower fees for box office versus online sales. Our box office is open Tue-Sat 12PM-5PM. Please visit us during those hours or call 804-447-8189. Seating: We assign seats in order of when you purchase your tickets. All reservations are subject to a food and drink minimum of $15 per guest. Gratuity of 20% is automatically added to all food and beverage purchases. Colby T. HelmsWebsite | Facebook | Instagram Every town has them.  The underdogs. The people who never quite fit in. The ones who are misunderstood. The ones who strive\, stumble\, and keep going anyway. With his second album\, One for the Losers\, Colby T. Helms tells their stories. Raised in the Blue Ridge foothills of Southwest Virginia\, Helms launched his career as a teenager\, writing raw and ragged songs that drew from the people\, places\, stories\, and struggles that shaped him. If his debut album chronicled his own experience\, then One for the Losers widens the frame by looking outward. Across a dozen tracks\, Helms shines a light on the overlooked and misunderstood characters who’ve crossed his path\, from troubled friends and fallen mentors to moonshiners\, immigrants\, and working-class Virginians trying to survive in a world that threatens to leave them behind. “This is a record for people who don’t feel like they have a voice\,” he says\, speaking with a southern drawl colored not only by his Appalachian roots\, but by the years he’s spent singing at folk festivals\, fiddlers’ conventions\, campgrounds\, and dive bars\, too. “I wrote my first album while I was still in high school\, then I spent a few years on the road\, playing those songs every night. One for the Losers delves into what it’s like to be a road musician\, as well as the characters and challenges you encounter along the way — and some of the ones waiting for you back home\, too.” Country. Bluegrass. Folk. Helms’ interpretation of American mountain music bears the fingerprints of them all. Largely recorded in Nashville with producer David “Ferg” Ferguson\, the album is as diverse as its influences\, balancing electric full-band performances with intimate\, stripped-back recordings that place Helms’ storytelling front and center. For Helms\, that balance feels like an extension of a childhood spent on the borderlines\, embracing the grey areas between social groups. “In high school\, you were either an artistic kid who did choir and theater\, or you were a redneck in FFA\,” he remembers. “I did it all. I never fit into any one category\, and I think my music is the same way. I play multiple instruments. I play multiple genres. I’ve got more than a few sides of music in me.” That diversity springs to life on the album’s title track\, which was inspired by a childhood friend whose struggles with alcohol ended in tragedy. Rather than offering easy answers\, Helms uses the song to wrestle with grief\, survivor’s guilt\, and resilience. “Young and Dumb” examines addiction through the eyes of someone losing a battle with it. “Deadhead on the Weekend” tells the true story a troubled former boss whose self-destruction ultimately cost him his job\, while acknowledging the lessons he still left behind. Elsewhere\, Helms broadens the album’s perspective. “Armed and Dangerous” tells the story of his girlfriend’s father\, who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border as a child and survived hardships that forced him into a life few Americans could imagine. Built around cinematic imagery and rhythms inspired by Mexican music\, the song offers a perspective rarely heard in contemporary country songwriting. Then there’s “Ballad of the Bondurant Boys\,” an epic acoustic narrative inspired by Franklin County’s infamous moonshine era. Like many of Helms’ best songs\, it blurs the line between history lesson and folk tale\, preserving a piece of regional culture while emphasizing more universal themes like power\, injustice\, and survival. You can take Helms out of Virginia\, but you can’t take Virginia out of Helms. His songwriting incorporates waltzes\, ballads\, and old-school rhythms that once formed the backbone of Appalachian dances but have become rare in modern roots music. Songs like “Fool’s Gold\,” “Voices Shot\,” and “Ballad of the Bondurant Boys” pay tribute to those traditions\, while tracks like “Welcome to the Freak Show” serve as a mission statement\, reminding us that regardless of background\, geography\, or circumstance\, everyone deserves a seat at the table. “Whether you’re from the backwoods or suburbs\, we all have the same blood in our veins\,” he says. That idea may be the thread connecting every song on One For the Losers. Whether he’s singing about a struggling musician\, a moonshiner\, a man crossing the desert in search of a better life\, or a friend lost too soon\, Helms approaches each story with compassion. He isn’t interested in dividing people into winners and losers. He’s more interested in understanding them…and maybe drawing a few connections between them\, too.  For Helms\, that responsibility carries extra weight because of where he comes from. Appalachia is one of the most misunderstood regions in America\, often flattened into stereotypes that ignore its complexity and creativity. As a proud resident of the area\, he hopes to offer a fuller picture. “Appalachia isn’t represented to its fullest extent\,” he says. “Artists like me\, it’s our job to carry that torch and shed some light on that region.” With One for the Losers\, Colby T. Helms does more than shine a light on Appalachia. He shines a light on the people living within it: the dreamers\, outcasts\, survivors\, cautionary tales\, and everyday souls whose stories rarely make the spotlight\, but are just as deserving as everybody else.

With original lyrics composed by lead Jonah\, the band fills in with lively\, fist pumping beats. Formed at Lynchburg College nearly 25 years ago\, the Ex-Patriots still put on a high-energy performance unlike any other. Making the move to Richmond in 2002\, the band has built a reputation for sing-alongs\, dancing\, and audience participation. Consisting of traditional instruments like the tin whistle\, mandolin\, and violin\, the band brings an old Irish sound and an original blend of influences to their shows. And while the band long had a rotating cast of characters\, the current lineup has been performing regularly for the past eight years at venues like the Church Hill Irish Festival\, Northside Grill\, Mainline Brewery\, Poe’s Pub\, Final Gravity Brewing\, and many more. The Ex-Patriots are firmly rooted in the style of the Pogues and will always perform a few Pogues songs. However\, they also step outside the box to perform original music inspired by punk\, American folk\, and old-time gospel. Their new album features everything from upbeat drinking songs to lovesick ballads and from the deeply personal to the unabashedly political. The Ex-Patriots first album\, Place I Call Home was released in March 2025 and can be found on all streaming platforms.

To date\, Five For Fighting\, has released six studio LPs\, including the platinum certified America Town and The Battle for Everything; and the top-10 charting Two Lights\, along with an EP and live albums. Ondrasik has penned major hits\, including the chart-topping “100 Years\,” “The Riddle\,” “Chances\,” “World\,” and “Easy Tonight\,” which have earned over one billion streams and place him as a top-10 Hot Adult Contemporary artist for the 2000s. The reflective “100 Years” has joined “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” as part of the American Songbook and continues to stand the test of time at weddings\, birthdays\, graduations\, memorials\, and many a home video. Five For Fighting’s music has also been featured in more than 350 films\, television shows\, and commercials\, including the Oscar-winning The Blind Side\, Hawaii Five-O\, The Sopranos and the CBS drama\, Code Black. Referencing Fight For Fighting’s success in the 2000s\, AllMusic called Ondrasik “one of the decade’s leading balladeers.” But perhaps his biggest achievement is performing “Superman (It’s Not Easy)\,” at the 2001 Concert for New York\, a benefit show at Madison Square Garden that honored first responders and the fallen about a month after the tragic September 11th attacks. Ondrasik performed alongside other big-name artists like Paul McCartney\, The Who\, Elton John\, Billy Joel\, and dozens more. Says Ondrasik\, “It was a surreal experience. I was honored and blessed to pay tribute to the heroes who ran into those buildings at ground zero\, and hopefully\, through a song\, provide a little solace to family members who’d lost loved ones.” Now\, though\, what once was a dream is a reality. Buoyed by his unique falsetto voice and his prowess on the piano—a skill bestowed to him by his piano teacher mother—Ondrasik has made a solid reputation for himself in the world of songwriting and performance\, selling upwards of three million albums over his career. Not only does he tour with his popular string quartet and play solo and rock band gigs\, but he is also a high demand keynote speaker in which he combines themes of creativity and innovation with his business acumen.  Along with his father\, he has managed the family business throughout his musical career.  As Ondrasik happily puts it\, his company\, Precision Wire Products\, “makes the best shopping cart in the world!” He’s presented at TEDx\, The Salk Institute\, American Cancer Society\, and dozens more. Perhaps being the son of an astrophysicist dad and having a degree in mathematics from UCLA has something to do with it. “Math was the Plan-B to get a real job when the music thing imploded\,” says Ondrasik\, with a chuckle. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t always a student at heart. As he wrote songs in his late teens and early 20s\, the Los Angeles-born Ondrasik studied his favorite rock vocalists. Finding out that singers like Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry studied classical voice\, he did too\, even seeking out some of those icons’ former teachers. No stone unturned. In September of 2021\, Ondrasik released the powerful\, “Blood on My Hands\,” a protest song that takes a non-political\, moral stance against the 2021 United States chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. While he’s well-versed in politics\, he isn’t of a bickering mindset. For Ondrasik\, it’s about the conversation. “Blood on My Hands\,” the track\, accompanying acoustic version\, and docu-music video\, “Blood on My Hands (White House Version)\,” has had millions of streams to date (despite little-to-no radio play). Like other protest songs of the past— “Ohio” by Crosby\, Stills\, Nash & Young or “The Times They Are a-Changin’” by Bob Dylan—Ondrasik aimed to point out a problem. While it’s critical of President Biden’s administration\, he says that if a Republican were President\, the song would remain the same\, only the names would change. Thanks to the song\, years later\, Ondrasik is still working with evacuation groups that strive to help the American citizens left behind in Afghanistan by the U.S. government\, as well as the Afghan people who remain there largely under the threat of terrorism. It’s a difficult\, and at times a polarizing subject\, but it’s one Ondrasik is not shying away from. Not because of any politics or partisan pats on the back\, but simply because he knows it’s the right thing to do. Ondrasik notes\, “There has been a tradition of musicians speaking truth to power. In the current tribal culture\, our freedom of expression has never been more critical.” In 2022\, Ondrasik released “Can One Man Save The World?” with a powerful companion music video\, featuring the Ukrainian Orchestra filmed in Ukraine.  The song\, inspired by the courage of President Vladimir Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine\, asks the nation\, and the world\, to stand up for core values of freedom and justice. Moved to action that extended beyond songwriting\, Ondrasik entered an area\, outside of Kyiv\, that had seen heavy combat shortly after the Russians pulled back from the capital with an American production crew. “I was honored to perform my new Ukraine tribute song Can One Man Save the World? with the Ukrainian Orchestra in the ruins of the Antonov Airport – in front of the Ukrainians’ beloved Mriya\, the world’s largest cargo plane that Russia destroyed at the outset of the war\,” said Ondrasik. “In sharing this musical collaboration on such hallowed ground\, I saw firsthand the fortitude and grace of the Ukrainian people\, who whether playing a violin or driving a tank\, will not be deterred by Putin’s atrocities and aggressions.” Proceeds from the single and its companion video benefit the NGO Save Our Allies and further its mission of providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine and Afghanistan. Recently\, Ondrasik released the song\, “OK\,” along with a heart wrenching documentary music video that speaks to the Hamas attacks on Israel of Oct 7th\, 2023\, and the cultural aftermath both in the United States and around the world. “On October 10th\, 2023\, the Mayor of New York City\, Eric Adams\, made a powerful speech\, decrying the celebrations of Hamas massacres across New York City. His words of conscience\, “We Are Not Alright\,” begin my new song and music video\, “OK\,” which addresses the barbaric Hamas October 7 attacks in Israel\, and the global fallout that resulted. Such is the theme of this song.  In short\, “We Are Not OK.” The “OK” (We Are Not OK) video has impacted globally with millions of streams. On April 13th\, 2024\, Ondrasik performed “OK” and “Superman” at “Hostage Square” in Tel Aviv for hostage families\, and the nation of Israel\, hours before Iran launched its missile attack. A Wall Street Journal feature headlined “A Lone Voice Sings for Israel” recognized Ondrasik as one of the few artists in the music industry to condemn Hamas and publicly call for the release of the hostages. Say’s John\, who is not Jewish\, “Something’s deeply wrong in the culture when people can’t come out and say that what happened on Oct. 7 was evil. No context. No buts. How did we get to a place where our music stars can’t condemn pure atrocities?” Throughout his multi-decade career\, which began when music publisher Carla Berkowitz (now his wife of 25 years) discerned him in a dive bar\, Ondrasik has been involved in multiple charity efforts. Along with supporting the troops via multiple USO tours\, Ondrasik created “The CD For the Troops” project with song and comedy compilations featuring artists like Billy Joel\, Melissa Ethridge\, Chris Rock\, and others\, gifting more than one million CDs to veterans and military families. John has also been deeply involved with the ALS charity “Augie’s Quest.” and is an ambassador for his pal Gary supporting the Gary Sinise Foundation. While he may not be as obsessive as he once was—writing upwards of dozens of songs per month\, Ondrasik is more focused today. He knows who he is\, as an artist and as a human being. His is a career molded by light and darkness. At one point\, he’d been looked over by every publishing house and label out there. At another\, he had one of the biggest songs in the world. Those extremes give a person perspective. “I’ve been incredibly blessed\,” he says. “I still pinch myself.” As Five For Fighting\, which is a professional hockey term designating a five-minute penalty for fisticuffs on the ice\, Ondrasik has also developed a close relationship within the world of sports. He was a contributing writer for Sports Illustrated as well as for his beloved Los Angeles Kings. Five For Fighting was one of the first musical artists to perform on ESPN’s SportsCenter\, and has played The Daytona 500\, Monday Night Football\, The Heritage Classic\, the L.A. Kings outdoor hockey game\, and more. Recently\, John performed a version of 100 Years for CBS sports celebrating “100 Days to the Superbowl” and is routinely featured in Bally Sports broadcasts at the start of L.A. Kings hockey games. “Singing from home plate at Dodger stadium\,” Ondrasik says\, “where\, as a five-year-old boy\, my dad and I would catch bleacher bombs during batting practice—that was a dream.” Today\, Ondrasik spends his time writing music\, touring\, working at the family business\, supporting various charities\, and enjoying life with his wife\, two children\, and dog Ender. Through “What Kind of World Do You Want\,” Ondrasik’s charity driven website – WhatKindofWorldDoYouWant.com – he has raised funds for Afghan evacuation organizations\, refugees and Augie’s Quest to cure ALS. He continues to support Save Our Allies and the Ukrainian people through “Can One Man Save the World”\, multiple charities fighting antisemitism globally\, and looks forward to returning to Ukraine and Israel in the near future. What motivates him musically now? His latest three songs tell the story. He wants to promote dialogue. He’s set to speak his mind\, with words\, melody\, and conviction. Ondrasik doesn’t shy away from nuance. He embraces it and seeks it – just as he does the next chorus\, the next verse\, all the while searching for a bridge. It’s what artists and freethinkers do\, after all. It’s his gift to share. His decided obligation\, too.

Paul TaylorWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter The number thirteen is cloaked in mysticism\, regarded by some cultures as unlucky and revered by others as a sacred good omen or the birth of a new beginning. Saxophonist Paul Taylor’s anticipated new recording and Shanachie debut\, It’s A Brand New Day\, is his thirteenth recording as a leader. The charming and down-to-earth saxman reveals\, “This album in some ways signifies a new cycle for me\, as this is my first new recording in three years. The title speaks to my desire to give my fans an optimistic outlook as we approach every brand new day.” The chart-topping saxophonist has enjoyed an enviable career with a string of Billboard #1 hits and collaborations with a genre-crossing lists of musicians including Regina Belle\, Maxi Priest\, Peabo Bryson\, Keiko Matsui. The Rippingtons\, Peter White\, Euge Groove\, Michael Lington\, Jamie Jones and Marion Meadows. Taylor confesses\, “I simply love creating and making my own music. I am the happiest when I am doing just this. It never gets old.” Danny Weiss\, VP of Shanchie’s Jazz A&R\, states\, “I’ve been an admirer of Paul’s brilliant work dating back to his very first recordings. His superb tone and phrasing are second to none. Paul Taylor is a true icon whose status is well deserved.” “I am an optimist in every way. Each new year\, I just keep trying to do my best\, which means playing my horn\, staying in shape\, touring\, and continuing to create\,” shares Paul Taylor\, who is an avid golfer. He scores an ace on It’s A Brand New Day\, showcasing ten tracks of nine originals and one Billie Eilish cover\, inspired by a character from one of her favorite movie’s Spirited Away. Taylor’s saxophones conjure a mesmerizing recreation of Eilish’s ethereal vocals. He shares\, “I heard this single over the speakers in a store and was like ‘Wow this is pretty cool.” When I heard it again\, I knew I had to record my own version on soprano. When I got together with Dino\, we put our own spin on it\, and I think we paid a beautiful homage to the song. Who knows maybe Billie will hear it and like it!” The feel-good track “Makin’ Moves\,” (another Esposito collaboration) features Paul’s fluid and melodic sax juxtaposed against the swinging and driving rhythm section. The hypnotic melody lingers long after the track fades away. The R&B infused and sultry “Where I Want To Be” shines a spotlight on Paul Taylor’s gorgeous tone which is amplified by layered effects. The rhythmic breakdown and soulful groove create the perfect place to be. The buoyant “Inner Circle” is a head-nodding jam while “What You Do For Me\,” is a funky dance groove with Paul Taylor’s sax out front set against a funky and gritty rhythm section. It’s A Brand New Day comes to a fitting finale with the sweet\, reflective\, and tender “Downtime.” Taylor reflects\, “Music is like the wallpaper of our lives. There are songs from certain periods of our lives that stay with us. I hope my fans can grab onto some songs on the album that will stay with them and remind them of good times. Paul Taylor grew up in Denver\, where he took up the saxophone at the age of seven. He played in school bands\, and in high school joined a Top 40 band called Mixed Company. Jazz keyboardist Keiko Matsui and her husband\, producer Kazu Matsui\, discovered him playing at the Catalina Island Jazz Festival and hired him to play in their band. He spent two years with them\, and then Kazu Matsui produced his 1995 debut album\, On the Horn\, which reached the jazz charts and spawned a radio hit in “Til We Meet Again.” Pleasure Seeker\, his second album\, followed in 1997 and was equally successful. Taylor released his third album\, Undercover\, on Peak/N-Coded Music in February 2000. Also in 2000\, he toured as a special guest artist with the Rippingtons. Subsequent albums Hypnotic (2001)\, Steppin’ Out (2003)\, Nightlife (2005)\, and Ladies’ Choice (2007)\, all issued by Peak Records\, figured high in the contemporary jazz charts\, with Ladies’ Choice going all the way to number one. Peak released Taylor’s eighth album\, Burnin’\, in 2009. Two years later\, Taylor returned with the album Prime Time. In 2014\, Taylor released Tenacity\, which featured guest appearances from Jeff Lorber and Jonathan Fritzen. The album was produced by Dino Esposito\, who was also at the controls for Taylor’s 2016 release Countdown\, which cracked the Top Ten of the jazz album charts.

Haley ReinhartWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter A timeless voice outlasts eras. It feels just as at home in the sixties as it does in the TikTok age. It also resounds louder as time goes on. Haley Reinhart brandishes such a voice. The double platinum-certified Chicago-born singer and songwriter was introduced to the world in 2011\, when Haley landed third place and became a fan favorite on season 10 of American Idol. More recently\, Haley returned to Idol this time as a mentor\, coaching contestants singing in the Soul Genre. Her dynamic presence powered four solo albums – Listen Up! (2012) on Interscope Records\, Better (2016) on Red Dot\, What’s That Sound? (2017) on Concord Records\, and Lo- Fi Soul (2019) on Haley’s self-owned label\, Reinhart Records. Haley latest work is the extended play Off The Ground (2022). All seven original songs are either written or co-written by Haley. Meanwhile\, her take on the Elvis Presley classic\, Can’t Help Falling In Love generated over 400 million Spotify streams and 100 million YouTube views within a few years of its release. What started off as a version sung for an Extra Gum Commercial\, turned into a chart-topping radio hit and touring sensation. Haley’s remake of the song peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 31 on the Billboard Adult Pop Airplay chart. Haley has also embraced collaborating regularly with other talented musicians. She is featured on Postmodern Jukebox’s highest viewed videos (cumulatively surpassing over 300 million views). And Haley has dueted with legendary star Jeff Goldblum on a total of four tracks from his two jazz albums with Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. Haley joined Jeff for an unforgettable performance on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!. In 2019\, she continued pushing boundaries and crossing genres into EDM. In 2019\, Haley lent her voice and songwriting skills to Vicetone’s dance hit\, Something Strange. In 2022\, she teamed up with DJ Naeleck on a version of Radiohead’s Creep. Expanding her oeuvre\, Haley voices a young boy named Bill Murphy on all five seasons of the hit Netflix animated series based on comedian Bill Burr’s childhood – F Is For Family. She made her acting debut in Robert Rodriguez’s hit film We Can Be Heroes. In the family film\, Haley plays a superhero whose voice is her power. A sequel to We Can Be Heroes is in the script-writing phase. And Haley’s music has been featured in countless ads and commercials for companies including Mazda and JP Morgan Chase and television programs including Love Island\, Gossip Girl\, Nashville\, Riverdale\, The Wilds\, America’s Got Talent\, and Dancing with the Stars. On the touring front\, Haley is her busiest in her fifteen years in music. Throughout 2022\, 2023\, and 2024\, Haley headlined over one hundred and fifty venues throughout North America. For her 2025 and 2026 tour\, Haley will headline shows across four continents – North America\, South America\, Europe\, and Asia. The show is just beginning.
