Rod Wave has announced the highly anticipated Greenville date of his upcoming tour. Joining the Florida native at The Well on Sunday, June 26 are Plies, Toosi, Renni Rucci & Lil Poppa*.
Presale tickets are available Thursday, May 12 with general tickets on sale Friday, May 13 at 10 AM. The ONLY official ticketing partners of Bon Secours Wellness Arena are Ticketmaster and the GSP International Airport Box Office located at the arena.
Blessed with a special singing voice, and the knowledge of how best to use it, Florida’s Rod Wave is taking his own path to the top of the game. Coming through with a soulful set of Southern sing-raps, the St. Petersburg native has built a groundswell of regional support and blossomed into a national streaming phenomenon.
After releasing 3 projects in a 12 month span – Hunger Games 3, PTSD, and the platinum-certified Ghetto Gospel – Rod first erupted onto the scene with “Heart On Ice.” The single, propelled by a captivating Genius Open Mic performance, a viral TikTok trend, and co-signs from NFL star Saquon Barkley to 21 Savage and everyone in between, was certified 3x-platinum, peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and reached #1 at urban radio.
Rod’s debut album, Pray 4 Love, debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 charts and was certified platinum less than a year after its release. The album’s breakthrough single, “Rags2Riches,” exploded over the summer with a viral TikTok trend and a remix from Lil Baby, peaking at #12 on the Hot 100. Rod’s sophomore album, SoulFly, surpassed Pray 4 Love by becoming Rod’s first-ever #1 album on the Billboard charts. Lead single “Tombstone” is Rod’s highest charting single to-date, peaking at #11 on the Hot 100.
This year, June 2022, Taj Farrant will be COMING TO AMERICA.

International travel is now open and it is time for Taj to shine on the big stage once again! This tour will be looking to do dates all around the USA over a 5 to 6 week period starting from June 1st. We will be bringing everything Taj has to give, LIVE on stage.
————————————————————–
Taj Farrant may be young, but his natural musical ability surpasses his age.
This down to earth Aussie kid is more than passionate about playing guitar and is clearly a natural born rocker through and through.
Taj is fortunate to have a very supportive family, helping guide and encourage his passion, with freedom and balance to enjoy playing and perfect his techniques while still enjoying kid stuff too. Taj has already picked up some huge endorsements world wide.
As a guitarist Taj has that truly genuine ‘feel’ when he plays, with technique and soul well beyond his years. With Taj’s online presence growing fast and being featured on the Ellen DeGeneres show and Australia’s Got Talent, Taj has also been blessed to share the stage with some world class artist such as Carlos Santana, Rob Thomas, Orianthi and many more, strap in and hold on … this is Taj Farrant!

An uplifting musical experience somewhere between Marvin Gaye and Fiddler on the Roof, their music has been described as “World Music thru the eyes and ears of Southerners.” Their seventh studio recording titled “Travelin’ Thru,” a collection of songs and a few short whimsical instrumentals, more wood than steel, designed to inspire the listener to “dance, meditate, or anything in between.” Countless tours and gigs both regionally and internationally, thru the US, the UK and Europe have garnered them recognition and success from fans, peers and critics alike. gigidover.com/home

Music of Cream Featuring Kofi Baker and Will Johns
Jun 28 @ 8:00 pm
The Grey Eagle
This unique project began in 2017 with a handful of concerts celebrating the 50th Anniversary of ‘The Cream’ in Australia and New Zealand.
Such was the response, the show was thereafter seen hundreds of times, by tens of thousands of fans, across North America and the U.K, many selling out! For 2022 and beyond, The Music Of Cream hit the road with a new show honouring the original band’s landmark recording of Disraeli Gears. Concerts will feature the album performed in its entirety during the first set, followed by a second with the hits and rarities from Eric Clapton, Blind Faith and Cream. The Music Of Cream continues to feature family members Kofi Baker (son of Ginger) on drums and Will Johns (Clapton’s nephew and son of Zeppelin/ Stones engineer Andy) on guitar and vocals.
Along with the legendary music, the show features storytelling, photographs and integrated videos, many of which have not been seen before, so that even the most diehard fans are guaranteed a night to remember.
KOFI BAKER – GINGER’S SON (Drums & Vocals)
Son of legendary drummer Ginger Baker, Kofi Baker is a name synonymous with drumming excellence; he not only continues, but extends the family legacy. The DNA is unmistakable!
Kofi’s first live performance was with his father on the cult UK tv music show “The Old Grey Whistle Test” – at just six years of age he proved he had inherited more than just his father’s name.
It’s no wonder he has forged his own long and distinguished career working with legends like Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Roger Waters, Nile Rogers, Tom Jones, Jack Bruce, Steve Marriott, Uli Jon Roth, Rick Derringer, Glenn Hughes, Robben Ford and many more.
His own albums include Lost City and Abstract Logic, with Jonas Hellborg and Shawn Lane.
Eric Clapton encouraged his nephew to play the guitar from an early age. This provided an auspicious start for Will, who is also the son of legendary recording engineer & producer Andy Johns (The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix), and nephew of fellow producer Glyn Johns, (The Who, Eric Clapton, The Eagles).
Will can also count Mick Fleetwood and the late, great, George Harrison, as uncles. He has performed onstage with Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Steve Winwood, Nile Rogers, Ronnie Wood, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman, to name but a few!
The outstanding blues guitarist has released four solo albums. His latest release, 2021’s “BLUESDADDY”, shot to the top of numerous high ranking blues charts, worldwide.
