The Florida Theatre is pleased to announce the Summerland Tour 2021
featuring Everclear, Hoobastank, Living Colour and Wheatus at the Florida
Theatre on Wednesday, October 6, 2021.
Everclear returns to Jacksonville for the Summerland Tour 2021 with
special guests: Hoobastank, Living Colour and Wheatus!
Everclear has written and recorded some truly iconic ’90s alt-rock hits
including "Everything To Everyone", "I Will Buy You A New
Life", "One Hit Wonder", "When It All Goes Wrong
Again" and more and continues to tour actively. No Everclear gig is
complete without a rendition of “Santa Monica” and “Father of Mine,” and lately
the band has found that exploring the full range of past material—especially
the “deep cuts”—not only gives fans a rare treat, it also injects new life into
the band’s live dynamic.
Multi-platinum selling band Hoobastank is one of the most
popular alt-rock bands to come out of the early 2000's. They are best known for
their singles "Crawling in the Dark", "Running Away", and "The
Reason".
Living Colour is best known for hits such as "Cult of
Personality" and "Glamour Boys". The band's music is a creative
fusion influenced by free jazz, funk, hard rock and heavy metal and their
lyrics range from the personal to the political, in some of the latter cases
attacking Eurocentrism and racism in America.
Wheatus is a seven-piece rock band based in New York. Since their
hit single "Teenage Dirtbag" in 2000, the band have worked
independently, releasing multiple singles, recording six studio albums, and
touring every year.
The historic, nonprofit Florida Theatre is sponsored by Community First Credit
Union. For a complete list of upcoming events or to buy tickets visit the
Theatre’s official website, floridatheatre.com.

And what is even more stunning is that Leonid & Friends, comprised of 11 of
the finest musicians in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus, haven't seen
Chicago perform live, yet replicates the band’s complex arrangements amazingly
note for note.
Chicago has never been in Russia, and none of us have attended their
concerts," said Leonid Vorobyev, a multi-instrumentalist who is the
band’s leader. "We have only recordings and videos (to help us learn
Chicago songs)."
Ironically, Vorobyev wasn’t always a fan of horn bands, and as a teenager
gravitated to the hard-driving guitar-based sounds of the Beatles, Creedence
Clearwater Revival, Deep Purple, and Grand Funk Railroad.
"In the early 1970s in the USSR, electric guitars, amplifiers, and
drums were rare to find so at school we were playing self-made
instruments," Vorobyev explained. "We were allowed to rehearse
in the same room with a horns band. Those musicians almost always were drunk
and quite often tried to play with us our rock songs. It was a nightmare, and I
hated them all!"
But that all changed when Vorobyev heard Chicago. He became an instant fan. "I
loved so much the brilliant mixture of rock guitars, drums, and jazz horns with
bright vocal harmonies," he said.
In 2014, Vorobyev decided to indulge his love for the band by gathering a few
fellow musicians in a studio to record a video of them playing his favorite
Chicago tune, Brand New Love Affair.
No charts or scores of the song existed so Vorobyev transcribed the tune by
ear. The result was a YouTube video that quickly went viral. Since then, Leonid
& Friends has recorded videos of other Chicago hits including: Make
Me Smile, 25 or 6 to 4, and Saturday In The Park.
All total the videos have received more than 50 million views. Also, Leonid
& Friends has recorded two albums showcasing its tribute to Chicago.
The process of getting each tune just right is a painstaking labor of love. In
addition to scoring and arranging, Vorobyev oversees mixing and mastering of
each song. However, he credits his highly skilled bandmates for making each
tune sing. "All of my musician friends are highly professional," he
said.
However, Leonid & Friends hasn’t been satisfied with merely connecting with
fans through videos and recordings. In early 2019, the band embarked on its
first tour outside of Russia that had fans dancing in the aisles at sold-out
shows in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Florida. Two other scorching
coast-to-coast U.S. tours followed that same year.
“The fans were so eager to see us that some traveled from as far as Hawaii
and the Philippines not mentioning flying across the U.S.and driving for hours
to attend our shows,” Vorobyev said. “I was expecting a warm greeting
but I didn't expect such a warm reception and with so much love and gratitude
for us.”
In Los Angeles, the band met its musical heroes, founding members of Chicago,
keyboardist Robert Lamm, and drummer Danny Seraphine as well as Michelle Kath
Sinclair, daughter of late, great Chicago guitarist Terry Kath.
