Enjoy an unforgettable night at The Bowl at Sugar Hill on July 25 with three incredible bands taking the stage. Better Than Ezra, Tonic, and Vertical Horizon will bring a lineup of iconic hits and fan favorites for a night you won’t want to miss.

About Better Than Ezra

Some songs, albums, and live performances are simply timeless. Since their early roots in 1988, playing house parties at Louisiana State University, BETTER THAN EZRA have carved out a lasting place in modern rock. The New Orleans quartet, founded by Kevin Griffin (lead vocals, guitar, piano) and Tom Drummond (bass, backing vocals), became known for their instantly hummable melodies, unshakable guitar riffs, and confessional lyrics that continue to resonate across generations.

Named one of Billboard’s “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time,” and with a legacy that even includes inspiring a classic Saturday Night Live sketch, Better Than Ezra released their tenth studio album, Super Magick, in 2024, featuring songs like “Live A Little” and “Grateful.” They continue to headline tours and make major festival appearances, including Bourbon & Beyond and Oceans Calling in 2026, showing their music and live performances remain as vital as ever.

About Tonic

Music always undoubtedly brings us closer together. The connection forged runs as deep as any family bond does. Similarly, the story of Tonic revolves around the longstanding, close brotherhood shared among members Emerson Hart [vocals, guitar], Jeff Russo [lead guitar], and Dan Lavery [bass]. Since 1996, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum trio has consistently delivered anthemic and undeniable rock fashioned from eloquent songcraft, lyrical honesty, and unshakable melodies. Along the way, they translated true experiences and real memories into a storied catalog that resounds as loudly today as it did over two decades ago.

“Sometimes, I’ll see somebody in the crowd who’s not more than twenty-years-old,” says Emerson. “This person will be singing a thought I had in 1995 right back to me: every word and every note. Realizing the power of that was a big moment for me. If there are people in the crowd and we’re playing together, that’s the magic of it. We still love it. There’s an understanding this is bigger than us.”

About Vertical Horizon

Vertical Horizon stands for a commitment to superior music.  It’s a concept that has always meant a steadfast striving for the artistically-creative high road. Consistently at the wheel, founder, writer, lead singer and guitarist, Matt Scannell drives and unites the group, always exploring new territories of inspiration.  Perhaps the most significant key to Vertical Horizon’s success today is the freedom they have from the constraints of a major recording label.  Scannell says, "Our music is coming from the purest place - there are no other considerations beyond 'Do we like this? Does it mean something us?'"  Vertical Horizon works at a tempo that fuels the creative process.  It’s no wonder why so many performers cite them as influences.

Founded in the early 1990s as a duo, Vertical Horizon released three albums independently (There and Back Again, Running on Ice, and Live Stages) and toured extensively.  In 1999, Vertical Horizon signed with RCA and experienced meteoric success with Everything You Want, selling over two million copies.  The title song captured the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Adult Top 40 charts, and went on to become the most played single of 2000.  Having carved out a page in the annals of music history, the band also garnered further radio attention with “You’re a God” (#4 on Billboard’s Adult Chart) and “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning),” which became a 2005 top 20 country hit for country star, Gary Allan.
