Twenty-time Grammy winner Pat Metheny returns to the stage in 2026 with his new ensemble Side-Eye III+, supporting the release of their self-titled album. Metheny's Side-Eye project is a concept he first introduced to showcase the next generation of exceptional young musicians who have come onto his radar in recent years. Joining Pat Metheny for this dynamic performance are pianist and keyboardist Chris Fishman, bassist Jermain Paul, and drummer Joe Dyson.
Pat Metheny has stood at the forefront of modern music for more than five decades. Beginning on trumpet at age eight and switching to guitar at twelve, Metheny was performing with Kansas City's top jazz musicians by fifteen, an early start that helped shape his unmistakable sound.
After joining vibraphonist Gary Burton's group in 1974, Metheny's horn-like phrasing, lyrical touch, and rhythmic fluidity quickly distinguished him. His debut album, Bright Size Life, redefined the possibilities of jazz guitar, introducing a new sonic openness and melodic clarity that inspired generations of players.

In from L.A. for one night only: Comedian Alex Clark returns to his New England roots to polish his next special.
From his father passing away on Halloween (in front of his sister dressed as a giant carrot) to his son racking up a $12,000 ER bill by roaring like a dinosaur, in Jokes From The Brink, Alex shares his unhinged life the only way a New Englander knows how: by ranting like a lunatic.
With 4 million YouTube subscribers and half a billion views for viral hits like Guns Explained with Cats, Alex has mastered funny ways of oversharing. A four-time festival people's choice winner and Streamy nominee, his last stand-up tour sold out in 23 cities.
Reviews“A gut-busting act”“A genius at engaging the crowd”“Fans have begged to bring Alex back”
Inspired by Robin Williams, Bill Burr, Mike Birbiglia, and a mountain of dinosaur-related medical debt, join Alex for the funniest breakdown in comedy history. All proceeds will go to debt collectors.
