Renowned Orlando-based Kobalt27 will open the show with a killer set of alt rock.
“We’re stoked to have Given to Fly back at Tuffy’s. They had a terrific debut here last February, brought in a big crowd, and we heard great feedback after their show,” said Cliff Berman, Production Manager at Tuffy’s. “Booking them again was an easy decision, and their concert over Labor Day weekend is going to be big fun! We’re expecting a sellout this time, so we’re encouraging fans to buy tickets early.”
Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Bob Donahue, whose voice channels Eddie Vedder with uncanny accuracy, from the deep growls to the raw, emotional storytelling and backed by a talented band that nails the grungy sound, Given to Fly isn’t just playing the hits. They embody the sound, soul, and spirit of Pearl Jam.
Concertgoers can expect to hear both classics and deep cuts. Given to Fly’s live show hits hard and doesn’t let up. From the gritty sounds of Alive and Even Flow to the deep emotion of Black and the crowd-lifting anthems like Betterman, this band doesn’t just perform the music, they relive it.
