The California Honeydrops at NorVa

October 7 2026

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and show starts at 7:30 p.m.

“The California Honeydrops…evoke the greasy rumble of Booker T and channel the spiritual ecstasy of Sly and the Family Stone.” -Rolling Stone

 

Formed in the subway systems of Oakland, retro-soul outfit The California Honeydrops are an electrifying group that defy convention at every turn. They’ve become a mainstay at festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest (Australia), Outside Lands, Monterey Jazz, Lightning In A Bottle, and touring with B.B. King, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, and Allen Toussaint. Led by the enigmatic and energetic frontman, Lech Wierzynski, and percussionist Benjamin Malament, each member of the band is a virtuoso in their own rite — Yanos “Johnny Bones” Lustig on saxophone, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards/guitar, Beaumont Beaullieu on drums, Miles Blackwell on bass, and regularly accompanied by Oliver Tuttle on trombone, Leon Cotter on saxophone/clarinet, and Miles Lyons on trombone/sousaphone — navigating through a vast repertoire of original songs and timeless classics every night. But what truly sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to the art of improvisation – a skill so finely honed that they have completely abandoned the use of set lists and no two shows are ever the same. Off stage, their music has been streamed more than 200 million times, and placed in a variety of TV and films, including “Dead To Me,” “Alaska Daily,” “Black-ish” and more. Their new album “Redwood Highway” was released August 8, 2025.

AFI at NorVa

October 13 2026

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and show starts at 7:30 p.m.
The NorVa 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: On sale Friday, May 15 at 9:00 a.m.
For more than three decades, AFI has thrived on reinvention, earning platinum records, major-label success, and a devoted, cult-like fanbase. From their scrappy beginnings as a hardcore band in the early ’90s, through their dark melodic punk evolution at the turn of the century, to their mainstream breakthrough and later shape-shifting alt-rock exploration, the band has never stopped challenging themselves or their audience. Each era has marked a bold new chapter in a career defined by creative fearlessness.
That spirit continues with their latest album Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…, a dark and ethereal reinvention that expands the band’s sonic universe while remaining unmistakably AFI. As frontman Davey Havok describes it, the record is “a sonic manifestation of the struggle to reconcile existence in the godless, uncanny dystopia of modern life.” The result is an album that feels out of time, at once familiar and fresh, drawing on classic sounds and reinterpreting them through a modern lens.

All Them Witches at NorVa

October 15 2026

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and show starts at 7:30 p.m.
The NorVa 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: Price may vary

Versatile hard rock quartet, All Them Witches, thrive on contrast. Now six records deep into a tenure that began in 2012, Ben McLeod (guitarist,) Charles Michael Parks, Jr. (bass/vocals,) Robby Staebler (drums,) and Allan Van Cleave (keys) are unremittingly forward-looking. There is a ferocious energy and rhythmic nuance to the band that delivers devastating guitar riffs in a raw blend of progressive, bluesy, neo-psychedelic rock.

The band has relentlessly toured since inception, performing at festivals including Voodoo Music & Arts, Bonnaroo, Forecastle Festival, and Pukkelpop; while also sharing tours with acts such as Mastodon, Ghost, and Primus.

All Them Witches hone their unique meld of crafted songwriting and spacious grooves on the road. They have deep musical roots and grow a heavy, visceral sound, with sheer dexterity delivered in every song.

Dyon “Mojo” Brooks is an actor, writer, producer, and nationally acclaimed stand-up comedian who can currently be seen as the male lead for Tyler Perry’s MISS GOVERNOR on Netflix alongside the legendary Terri J Vaughn and Jo Marie Payton. The series held a Top 10 for multiple weeks following its debut. As a comic, Brooks is celebrated by fans across the country, having sold out every show on his nationwide “Unhand Me Now” Tour in 2024, as well as selling out each stop on his fourth national headlining tour (The “I Know You F*ckin’ Lying” Tour).

From February to May of 2026, Brooks toured with Mike Epps for the “We Them Ones” Arena Tour, playing to audiences of 10,000+ every weekend. Brooks will embark on another national theatre and arena tour as a headliner, playing even larger venues than he has in his career. The demand, fandom, and passion for Brooks are palpable not only across the country but internationally, as he will be touring London and the EU in Summer 2026 as well.

December of 2025 marked the recording of Mojo’s taping for his debut one-hour Stand-Up Special, shot in front of three sold-out crowds at Atlanta’s Center Stage Theatre. The special was directed by Mike Lavin, who has previously directed the likes of Shane Gillis, Nate Bargatze, and Jim Gaffigan, to name a few.

Brooks was named as one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch for 2025, where he was recognized and honored at the historic Just For Laughs Montreal. The prestigious list includes such notable alumni as Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, Patton Oswalt, Tiffany Haddish, and Kumail Nanjiani, to name just a few.

Additionally, Dyon can be seen on the most recent Season [21] of Nick Cannon’s WILD N OUT, having been hand-selected by Cannon, who is a fan of Brooks viral sketch comedy videos that can be found across his social media pages, which have amassed millions of views and over 28 million likes. Brooks counts more than 1.7 million Instagram followers, 2.3 million Facebook followers, and over 1.5 million TikTok followers.

A Chicago native, Brooks frequently collaborates with the Chicago Bears and contributed to a Midwest Emmy win for his writing efforts across commercial and digital work, on which the team continues to collaborate with him. Additionally, Brooks has lent his comedic acting talents to music videos, including Lil Durk’s hit Sad Songs. When not entertaining audiences, Brooks gives back to his community in Chicago, dedicating his time and resources to support youth development programs, demonstrating his commitment to making a positive impact beyond the stage and screen.
