A Stephen Kellogg performance is like watching Ted Lasso live. Whether he’s playing music or doing stand-up, his shows leave people inspired and restored.
For more than two decades, this wordsmith, TEDx speaker, stand-up comic, author, and troubadour has delighted audiences around the world. Planet Bluegrass calls him “a first-class songwriter with a poet’s gift for fresh imagery,” and Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz says of Kellogg, “There are few people in rock n’ roll who are just so great.”
He has received the Armed Forces Entertainer of the Year award and has had his work nominated for a Grammy. Rolling Stone magazine describes his sound as “John Prine fronting the Heartbreakers.”
The recent Sit Down & Stand Up Tour was a one-man show that opened to rave reviews from fans and critics alike, culminating in a two-night filming for a forthcoming one-hour comedy special.
A mix of music, humor, and storytelling, each performance paints a unique canvas that covers the full spectrum of human emotions. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll go home with a full heart.
______________________________________________
Javier Colon, winner of the first season of The Voice, is known for his stunningly soulful voice, heartfelt songwriting, and genre-blending sound he calls “acoustic soul”—a mix of pop, rock, and R&B anchored by his signature acoustic guitar. His fourth album, Gravity, marks a powerful return to form and creative freedom, showcasing music that reflects who he is at his core: honest, expressive, and deeply connected to his craft.
After early success as the lead singer of the Derek Trucks Band and two solo albums on Capitol Records, Colon’s career took a major turn when millions watched him win The Voice. Despite industry challenges and creative clashes, he remained committed to making music that felt true to himself. Now signed to Concord Records, Gravity is the album he’s always wanted to make—featuring emotionally resonant tracks like “Walking Blind” and “For A Reason,” and highlighting his strengths as a vocalist, songwriter, and performer.
Colon’s live performances—whether solo or sharing stages with Maroon 5 and Dave Koz—reveal an artist who leads with heart. Fans around the world have connected to his music in deeply personal ways, often describing it as a source of comfort and inspiration. For Javier Colon, that’s what it’s all about: creating songs that move people, reflect real experiences, and remind us that we’re never truly alone.
