A Tribute to the Dynamic Duo: Bowie Vs. Gabriel
2019-09-06 21:30
A Dynamic Duo indeed!
A tribute to two of the most creative, dynamic, and powerful artists to ever grace the rock and roll stage. Two of Atlanta’s best tribute bands, Jerome Newton and the Band Who Fell to Earth, and The Sledgehammers will treat you to an evening of music by David Bowie and Peter Gabriel. How much awesomeness can one stage hold?
The Sledgehammers are an Atlanta based Peter Gabriel tribute band. They play selections from the icon’s legendary solo career with a heavy focus on the So and Us albums. Featuring 7 top-notch musicians from over the vast Atlanta music scene, The Sledgehammers deliver a powerful and emotional show. The band approaches these unforgettable songs with a reverence to the man, his message and the level of musicianship this music deserves.
Jerome Newton and the Band Who Fell to Earth (the name is an allusion to Bowie’s iconic role in The Man Who Fell to Earth) has been called “a Bowie tribute for Bowie lovers”. They play music from his entire career – the hits and the deep cuts – with reverence and energy. They don’t try to “imitate” a particular phase – even Bowie himself brought a new persona to stage almost every year. Instead, they bring their own approach to the material – never straying far from the source, but never coming off as mere imitators either. Their music, their look, their lively stage show, all combine to create a memorable experience. Come see for yourself!

90's R&B Soul Men Tribute starring Tony Tatum
2019-08-30 21:30
In the 90’s R&B was still the music that dominated Urban radio, but who were the greatest males singers and groups of that era? From Neo-Soul to New Jack Swing to Hip Hop/Soul fusion, R&B of the 90’s was the last decade to reinvent boy bands, to spotlight male crooners, and to give rise to the “naturally” sexy, soul brother. Teddy Riley, Babyface, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis became non-stop music factories while young upstarts like Sean “Puffy” Combs, Dallas Austin, and Jermaine Dupree were quickly coming into their own. And with competition from some of the top-selling music divas of all time, artists like Maxwell, Babyface, Keith Sweat, and Johnny Gil were among just some of the male stars that kept their female audiences happy with a mix of uptempo dance anthems AND smooth, sexy ballads.
Venkman’s and Hot Ice LIVE are proud to present a tribute to 90’s R&B Soul Men starring singer/songwriter Tony Tatum. Tatum, originally a native of Michigan, honed his talents while touring with Keith Sweat for six years. “He’s a great performer,” Sweat said of his young protege, “and now it’s time for him to his own thing.” Heavily influenced by Babyface, Tatum developed a vocal range and stage presence that have kept him in demand with his own touring band called the Tatum Experience. Tatum has written, co-written, and collaborated on songs with the likes of Usher, Jazze Pha, Omarion and more. He has also toured with New Edition, Ne-Yo, and Howard Hewitt among others, and has been featured on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. So bring your crew, and come prepared for a full night of entertainment with dinner, drinks, and dancing with a throwback to an era of fun, sexy music.
