Jesse McCartney has always had a voice that could stop time. And, in 2026, he isn’t standing still—he’s following the current of what’s next. With new music in circulation, a renewed wave of touring momentum, and a profound personal shift into fatherhood, McCartney is in an era defined by emotional gravity and creative freedom.
Building on the success of his critically acclaimed independent EP All’s Well and its sold-out national tour, McCartney has reemerged as a powerful live force. His fall run, The Weightless Tour, launched September 30 in Washington, D.C. and ran through mid-November, bridging fan-favorite classics with dreamier recent material and introducing a deeper emotional lens to his performances. That momentum carried into a special reunion with the Jonas Brothers, during which McCartney joined the famous trio as a surprise guest at stadium shows including MetLife Stadium and Fenway Park. The chemistry was so strong that he was invited to join their tour immediately after he completed the…

Directed by Rico Bruce Wade
A Blues-Infused American Classic
It’s 1927 in a Chicago recording studio, where legendary blues singer Ma Rainey arrives ready to lay down tracks on her own terms. As tensions rise between Ma, her band, and the white producers controlling the session, ambition, pride, and exploitation collide in a room thick with heat and history. August Wilson’s searing masterpiece is a powerful exploration of race, art, and the cost of claiming your voice in a world determined to silence it.

Little River Band was formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975. It was originally a blend of musicians who had enjoyed success in other Australian acts – but their new focus was to get airplay on American radio, and they achieved that goal with good songwriting, powerful vocals, and guitar harmonies. They immediately claimed their place as one of the great vocal bands of the ‘70s and ‘80s. And now, LRB celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2025, and their calendar is filling up fast, with 75 shows booked – including a trip to New Zealand, where, per capita, the band has sold more albums and CDs than any other territory.
Between 1976 and 1983, chart success in America included the following singles: It’s a Long Way There, Help Is on Its Way, Happy Anniversary, Reminiscing, Lady, Cool Change, Lonesome Loser, The Night Owls, Take It Easy On Me, Man On Your Mind, We Two, and The Other Guy. Worldwide album and CD sales now top 30 million. LRB also set a Billboard record in 1982 for having Top 10 US hits for 6 consecut…
