Better Than Ezra have made their mark on the music world in a major way through their hummable melodies, unshakable guitar riffs, and confessional lyrics that have stood the test of time. From 1995’s #1 hit “Good” all the way to Taylor Swift’s famous 2010 cover of the Better Than Ezra classic “Breathless,” they’re still going strong, earning their designation as one of the “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” by Billboard. Better Than Ezra starts at 8:00 p.m.

The GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum trio Tonic has consistently delivered anthemic and undeniable rock fashioned from eloquent songcraft, lyrical honesty, and unshakable melodies since launching in 1996. Their full-length debut, Lemon Parade, not only went platinum, but it also yielded the “#1 Most-Played Rock Song of 1997” in the form of the lead single “If You Could Only See.” Tonic starts at 6:00 p.m.
