Fans know him as Luke Danes from Gilmore Girls, but Scott Patterson is also an accomplished self-taught guitarist and has been writing songs and performing since he was nine years old when he started his first band, “The Unknowns”.

In 2016, Scott and his band performed at flood relief benefit concerts in Summersville, WV and Ocean City, NJ. Scott and his band performed on Rachel Ray’s SXSW stage in Austin, TX in March of 2017. In the summer of that same year, Scott performed on his tour of 27 sold out acoustic shows on the west and east coasts. In July of 2019, Scott performed with his band in LA at amFAR’s “LifeRide 10 Celebration” to benefit AID/HIV research.

Prior to the 2017 EP “Revolution” and the latest singles “Surrender”, “I Want to Kiss You More”, and “Cellphone”, Scott’s band also released two singles, “Haha Song” and “Forgotten Hero”. Both singles debuted at #1 on the iTunes Indie Top 100 chart, with “Haha Song” occupying the spot for several weeks.
Packed with new songs and accompanied by a new band, Scott is now hitting the road with his 2026 Spring Tour.

Nor-Cal Rockfest II: The Metal Year

Date: Saturday, April 11, 2026 at 7:30PM
Ticket Price(s): $20 General Admission ($4 per ticket fee included)
Venue: Madame Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis Theatre (EK Theatre)

This high-energy night brings together some of Northern California’s most powerful metal and rock acts for an unforgettable live experience. From hard-hitting riffs to atmospheric melodies, this lineup delivers intensity, passion, and pure musical fire. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the scene, The Metal Year is your chance to experience the raw spirit of Nor-Cal’s rock community — live and unfiltered.

ABOUT Negative Sixxx:
Born in the watering holes of Oakland, California, Negative Sixxx is a metal band that takes no prisoners. Melding thrash and modern metal influences, the band released their debut EP The Truth Shall Set You Free in 2019.

ABOUT Embrium:
Hailing from San Francisco’s dynamic metal scene, Embrium merges the atmospheric beauty of shoegaze with the intensity of black metal, creating a sound that is as hauntingly ethereal as it is visceral. Since their 2021 debut EP, which gained recognition from Metal Injection and Apple Music’s “Breaking Metal” and “Fresh Blood” playlists, the band has been hard at work carving out their place in the blackgaze genre with their next release, Timekeeper, which is the result of three years of creative exploration, drawing on literary themes of time, loss, the dangers of magic, the struggle of life, and the search for self-identity.

ABOUT TangenT:

TangenT is a modern rock band from Fresno, California, blending heavy riffs, melodic hooks, and raw energy that reflects the grit of the Central Valley. Known for their dark, distressed aesthetic and high-intensity live shows, the band pulls inspiration from hard rock and modern metal while keeping their sound accessible and anthemic.

Terry Fator Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice

Date(s) & Time(s): Wednesday, June 3, 2026 | 8:00PM
Ticket Price(s): $65 – $80
Venue: Madame Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis Theatre (EK Theatre)
Presented By: City of Tracy – Grand Theatre Center for the Arts

Recommended Age: 13+ (due to some mature themes)

Legendary Las Vegas headliner Terry Fator has created a new road show to kickoff his 2025-2026 tour. Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice is a 90 minute spectacular, featuring the incredible impressions, comedy and ventriloquism that has made Terry and his characters a must see show for fans across the nation.

“Pure Imagination is a totally different concept than my road shows in the past,” Fator said. “I found that throughout my life my imagination had spawned countless characters, song parodies and comedy skits and I compiled them all together to give my audience a fun look into my creative psyche.”

The show features the classic characters Terry has made famous over the years: Winston the Impersonating Turtle; Country Star Walter T. Airdale; Apollo Theater legend Julius; perpetual slacker and stoner Duggie; Vikki the Cougar and the world’s greatest Elvis impersonator, Maynard Tompkins.

“One idea I had is to add in characters and impressions based on real-life stars people around the world know and love,” Fator said. “So you can look forward to seeing and hearing Willie Nelson, Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, plus a few surprise ‘guests’”.

Simply put, Pure Imagination is Pure Entertainment for audiences across the country.

WAR, one of music’s defining and most enduring soul/funk groups, was founded in Long Beach, California, in 1962. In 1970, producer Jerry Goldstein united the seven-piece band with former Animals lead singer Eric Burdon; the alliance produced the No. 1 worldwide hit “Spill the Wine.” Stepping out on their own in 1971, they launched a fruitful career with a dynamic sound that fused R&B, rock, Latin music, jazz, and blues. In 1973, their smash album The World is a Ghetto vaulted to No. 1 on Billboard’s pop and R&B charts behind the crossover success of two top-10 singles, the album’s socially conscious title song and its rollicking follow-up “The Cisco Kid.” Over a long and glittering career, WAR has rung up more than 20 multi-platinum, platinum and gold albums and singles. This year, fronted by co-founding member Lonnie Jordan, the group will celebrate 50 years of 1973’s #1 Billboard top-selling album, The World is a Ghetto, with a 50-date summer tour, remixes, new releases and more.
