Singer-songwriter Matt Maeson takes to the stage in Orlando with "Watch My Step, A Solo Experience. Matt Maeson brings his latest tour, Watch My Step, A Solo Experience to The Plaza Live in Orlando on Saturday, November 21. The show will be an intimate, stripped-down solo performance featuring emotional renditions of his catalog and new material, with special guest Sam MacPherson. Tickets for the show are on sale now. https://www.axs.com/events/1608358/matt-maeson-tickets Discover the Latest Entertainment News from throughout Central Florida Matt Maeson makes songs for those moments when you need them the most. No matter how fast life goes, he can get a grip on it and slow it down just enough to sing about it. The Virginia-born and Nashville-based multiplatinum singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist transforms complicated feelings, uneasy thoughts, and self-doubt into arrestingly catchy alternative anthems anchored by relatable and raw emotion. Throughout the last decade, Matt has documented life’s twists and turns on tape. In 2019, he struck a chord and made history with his first LP, Bank on the Funeral. The album’s two Platinum-certified singles—“Cringe” and “Hallucinogenics” [feat. Lana Del Rey]—each climbed to # 1 at Alternative, elevating him as “the first ever male solo artist to log two # 1 Alternative hits from a full-length debut LP.” On its heels, 2022’s Never Had To Leave incited critical acclaim from American Songwriter, Consequence of Sound, and more. He emerged as the rare talent equally comfortable supporting Zach Bryan in arenas or lending his voice to tracks alongside Gryffin, Illenium, and Chelsea Cutler. He also embarked on the sold-out acoustic That’s My Cue Tour captured on his 2024 live record, That’s My Cue: A Solo Experience. Along the way, Matt got married, moved from Austin to Nashville, and became a dad. He processes all of these pivotal changes out loud on his third full-length offering, A Quiet and Harmless Living [Atlantic Records]. By doing so, he taps into the sound of growing and finding balance with his most vulnerable and vital body of work yet.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) celebrates 30 YEARS with a spectacular reimagining of The Ghosts of Christmas Eve, including a show at Kia Center on December 19, 2026! Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) will celebrate its landmark 30th anniversary with two shows at Orlando's Kia Center on December 19, 2026, 2.30 pm and 7.30 pm, featuring a spectacular, reimagined staging of its treasured tale, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve,” followed by a high-energy second set. Renowned for delivering fans the ultimate “value for their dollar,” TSO pairs its legendary audio/visual experience, complete with over-the-top lasers, pyrotechnics and special effects, with fan-friendly ticket pricing that welcomes generations of fans year after year. “Thirty years in, we never take a single person in that audience for granted,” said TSO music director and guitarist Al Pitrelli. “With the economy the way that it is right now, it shouldn’t be a mortgage payment for a family to come out to see us. Paul O’Neill [TSO’s late creator, lyricist and composer] was very adamant about giving people in the audience more ‘show’ than they could’ve even imagined, and that’s what we do every year. We reimagine the show, we rebuild it, we make it bigger than last year so people come back again. I want you to look and go ‘Oh my God, they outdid themselves one more time!’. We want to make sure you guys can come out and celebrate because you and everyone in that audience are the greatest fans in the world.” The foundation for this milestone was laid in 1996, when O’Neill launched a project that would forever alter the music and holiday landscape. Since its formation, TSO has grown into a critically acclaimed, multi-platinum powerhouse progressive rock group, generating more than $1 billion in gross ticket sales and establishing its annual “rock theater” tour as a multi-generational tradition. Now, three decades later, the group is proud to bring this treasured production to cities across North America once again. As O’Neill explained in 2010, “When someone goes to a TSO concert, we don’t want them to walk away saying ’that was a great show’ or ’that was worth it’ or even ’that was the best show I’ve seen in a long time.’ We want them to say, ‘Man, that was the best show ever; we just ripped that band off.’” Based on TSO’s TV show and multi-platinum DVD, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” follows the journey of a runaway who breaks into an abandoned vaudeville theater on Dec. 24. While seeking shelter from the cold, the teen is discovered by the theater’s caretaker, who uses the ghosts and spirits from the building’s past to turn her life around. The rock opera features beloved songs originally forged by O’Neill and the group’s composers – tracks that have evolved into massive, permanent fixtures of modern culture. TSO’s signature hit, “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24,” has achieved rare status as an untouchable seasonal juggernaut. Standing as the No. 3 best-selling holiday digital single in music history, the track alone has amassed more than 300 million global streams. Decades after its initial recording, the RIAA 3x Platinum-certified track remains in heavy seasonal radio rotation, dominates commercial soundtracks, and serves as the global standard for synchronized neighborhood and commercial animated light displays every winter. Alongside the group’s signature single: TSO’s brilliant, Pachelbel-inspired “Christmas Canon,” which itself commands over 250 million streams, and enduring fan-favorites like “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Mad Russian Christmas,” “Wizards in Winter,” “Requiem (the Fifth)” and “This Christmas Day”, which also continue to anchor dozens of major holiday playlists across Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music, commanding top streaming numbers worldwide, year after year. TICKETS Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) will perform two shows at Orlando's Kia Center on December 19, 2026, 2.30 pm and 7.30 pm. Tickets are on sale now. https://www.kiacenter.com/events/detail/trans-siberian-orchestra-2026 As in all previous years, at least $1 of every ticket sold benefits select local charities.

April Wine released their breakthrough album On Record in 1972, scoring major Canadian hits with You Could Have Been A Lady and Bad Side Of The Moon. Throughout the 1970s, albums such as Stand Back, The Whole World’s Goin’ Crazy and First Glance cemented their status as arena headliners at home. International recognition peaked in the early 1980s with The Nature Of The Beast, driven by Just Between You And Me and Sign Of The Gypsy Queen. The band toured relentlessly, sharing stages with The Rolling Stones, Rush, Styx and Heart. Their longevity has been recognised with multiple honours. April Wine were inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall Of Fame in 2009, the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame in 2010, and Canada’s Walk Of Fame in 2023.
