Those “powerhouse pipes” from Rinehart will function as a key ingredient to the band’s newest endeavor—their first-ever acoustic live album, Acoustic Live Vol. 1. The 12-song collection was entirely self-recorded last year across the band’s first-ever fully acoustic tour and features commentary between tracks that transports listeners directly into the audience. One of the numerous standout moments featured on the record include the band’s retelling of their first meeting with friends Drew & Ellie Holcomb, followed by a surprise appearance by the duo at NEEDTOBREATHE’s sold-out performance at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Singing with the Big Bands

Ticket Prices: $15 plus tax and applicable fees for general admission
Artist Info: Part velvet, part grave, and all taut emotion, Mark O Toole’s voice seems ideally suited to perform the songs of Barry Manilow. His love of performing began early in life, with leading roles at The Boston Children’s Theatre. His first exposure to the national limelight came from his dead-on impression of a matronly grandmother. As a favor, he would call his friend, a DJ on WVBF-FM in Boston, and pretend to be his friend’s grandmother. As fate would have it, Jay Thomas, a regular on “Cheers” and “Murphy Brown,” heard Mark while in Boston and asked him to be a regular on his radio show in Hollywood. Following three years on the radio, O’Toole moved to Las Vegas and soon appeared on “Star Search,” where his rendition of Conway Twitty’s “It’s Only Make Believe” beat out a five-time winner.

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen were one of the original groups to fuse divergent strains of American roots music – stripped-down basic rock and roll, rhythm and blues, jazz, bop, country, western swing and rockabilly – and create an innovative, yet familiar and convincing sound. Fronted by George Frayne (Commander Cody), the band released their debut album, Lost in the Ozone, in 1971. The album peaked at 82 on the Billboard 200 chart and featured a cover of the 1955 song “Hot Rod Lincoln,” which reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following several more success albums, Frayne set out on a solo career. Retaining the name Commander Cody, Frayne has continued to release music and tour the country.
