Hairball
The Bombastic Celebration of Arena Rock celebrating 25 years!!
It's like 20 concerts in one night!
A band puts on a concert - Hairball puts on an event! Hairball is a Rock & Roll experience you won't soon forget. The lights, sound, smoke, fire, bombs, and screaming hoards of avid fans...to merely call it a concert would be like calling Mount Rushmore a roadside attraction!
Vocalists Kris Vox, Dave Moody, and Drew Hart lead the band through a 2+ hour, mind-blowing, and dropdead accurate homage to some of the biggest arena acts in the world. Van Halen, KISS, Motley Crue, Queen, Journey, and Aerosmith are but a few of the acts fans will see brought to life. The Hairball stage becomes an entirely new rock concert before your very eyes countless times throughout the night.
The motor that drives the Hairball dragster consists of HBK on the electric bass, Billy on the drums, and Happy on the lead guitar. These Rock & Roll soldiers pride themselves on nailing some of the most memorable licks and chops of all time, while adding their own style and flare that they've cultivated over decades of tireless performing. This isn’t a side job. These guys eat, sleep and breathe Rock & Roll!
2023 finds Hairball celebrating its 23rd year of rocking hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Constantly adding more characters, more pyrotechnics, more lights, more sound, more props, more surprises...more everything! While Happy often tells the audience "Today is the first day is the rest of your life!" Hairball performs every show as though it could be their last. Every night is a 100% full-on, no-holds-barred, exciting, chaotic, fiery party that has to be experienced to be believed!
As important to Hairball as the music, are its fans. While many bands claim to have the best fans in the world, Hairball actually has! Whether they are 10 years old or 100, Hairball fans bring an unparalleled enthusiasm and energy to the show that enhances the arena experience. Hairball knows it wouldn't exist without its fans and takes every opportunity to let them know that.
Whether it's a pre-show meet and greet, hanging out at the merch booth, or chatting online, Hairball has a lot in common with its fans and it's always a good time when they get together. Don't confuse Hairball with the countless "80's Tribute" bands across the country. Hairball is an experience, an attitude, and expression of music that isn't simply a retro flashback, it's a way of life!

Following his acclaimed second studio album, Ticket To L.A., Brett broadened his emotional scope on Weekends Look A Little Different These Days, which features his current single, “You Didn’t” (GOLD) and “Lady,” whose lyrics inspired Brett’s debut children’s book “Love You, Little Lady,” published by Tommy Nelson (an imprint of HarperCollins). One of only four modern Country artists to have their first seven singles go No. 1, Young debuted atop the Billboard Country Albums chart with his GOLD-certified Ticket To L.A. while his PLATINUM self-titled debut dominated the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks, all contributing to over 8.1 billion global streams to date. In 2018, Young was named ACM’s New Male Artist of the Year and ASCAP’s Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year for his “melodic craftsmanship” (Billboard) and garnered nominations from Billboard, Teen Choice, CMT and CMA Awards, while continuing to amass non-stop hits as “one of Country’s most consistent radio stars” (Rolling Stone). He released his first holiday album Brett Young & Friends Sing the Christmas Classics, with special guests including Darius Rucker, Maddie & Tae and Colbie Caillat, in 2021, and co-wrote “Long Way Home (From The Motion Picture ‘Father Stu’)” with Shay Mooney and Bear Rinehart, featured in Sony Pictures’ 2022 film starring Academy Award Nominee® Mark Wahlberg. His successful Caliville collection of casual wear is available exclusively at Kohl’s and online at caliville | Kohl’s (kohls.com).

Matt Mathews: Boujee on a Budget Tour
Steve Trevino
He started cutting his teeth in Dallas, Texas, working as a door guy at the Improv and earning
himself a spot to open the iconic 2001 Three Amigos Comedy Tour. He quickly earned his stripes
and an audience on the comedy club circuit, and he began headlining on his own by the age of
25. He delivered side-splitting performances on The Late Late Show and Comics Unleashed, and
produced and wrote for international GRAMMY® Award-winning superstar Pitbull’s La Esquina.
His first Showtime special, Grandpa Joe’s Son, staked out a spot in the Nielsen Top 20. He
funded, produced, and shot his 2014 runaway NETFLIX hit Relatable. To promote the special, he
uploaded a clip titled “When Your Wife Comes Home From Shopping.” It exploded, generating 56
million views on Facebook alone and paving the way for heavily shared clips such as “When You
Ask Your Wife If She Wants McDonald’s” (21 million views) and “When Going to Vegas With Your
Wife Goes Wrong” (4 million views). Co-produced by Nacelle, the follow-up special, Steve Trevino
’Til Death, arrived in 2018. Steve maintained his momentum by broadening his social media
presence through fans redoing bits of his comedy specials and posting them to TikTok. In less
than two years, that grassroots effort helped him build a worldwide fanbase on the platform from
the ground up, amassing 4.8 million likes and over 50 million views on the platform, while also
changing up his entire social media game.
In 2020, he and his wife, Renae, unveiled a joint weekly podcast entitled “Steve Treviño and
Captain Evil,” that has generated over 1.5 million views/streams and is now in Season 3. He also
filmed his fourth self-produced comedy special, My Life in Quarantine, which was picked up by
Amazon Prime. The once-in-a-lifetime pandemic special was shot in front of a masked, socially
distant crowd and focused on the ups and downs of getting through quarantine.
He regularly raises money for Helicopters for Heroes, an organization benefiting veterans, for
whom he helped raise over $1.5 million in the past two years.
Steve's self produced fifth special filmed in Waco, Texas, entitled I Speak Wife, independently
released on Friday, October 21, for free exclusively to his global audience on YouTube.
