Starting his career in the 1960s, Neville had his first hit in 1967 with \u201cTell It Like It Is,\u201d which reached No. 2 on the pop charts and became a No. 1 R&B smash. In the late \u201970s, he and his brothers – Cyril, Charles and Art – came together as a backing unit for their uncle\u2019s Wild Tchoupitoulas before striking out on their own as The Neville Brothers. The sibling group found success on the touring circuit, but also garnered attention for albums like their 1989 debut for A&M Records, \u201cYellow Moon,\u201d one of the most critically acclaimed albums of that era. In 1989, Neville had his first major hit in 23 years with \u201cDon\u2019t Know Much,\u201d a No. 2 pop smash that was one of several duets with Linda Ronstadt that Ronstadt included on her album \u201cCry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind.\u201d\u00a0Tickets are $49-$59.<\/p>\n Celebrate Halloween as Splintered Sunlight presents a spooky evening of psychedelic tunes Oct. 31, 8 p.m.<\/span>, in the Musikfest Caf\u00e9. Formed in 1992, Splintered Sunlight quickly became the most popular Grateful Dead tribute band in the Philadelphia region, gaining praise from Dead Heads and others alike. Following a series of successful shows at SteelStacks, the group was honored as the Musikfest Caf\u00e9\u2019s first-ever Artist in Residence in 2016. Tickets are $10-$15 advance and $12-$17 day of show.<\/p>\n On Nov. 1, 7:30 p.m.<\/span>, the Musikfest Caf\u00e9 presented by Yuengling welcomes singer-songwriter Josh Ritter of The Royal City Band. Over the course of his acclaimed career, Ritter has released seven full-length albums including, 2013\u2019s \u201cThe Beast in Its Tracks,\u201d which debuted at No. 22 on the Billboard 200 and No. 8 on the Top Rock Albums chart. His latest album, \u201cGathering,\u201d continues to receive critical praise, with NPR proclaiming, “Josh Ritter remains at the top of his game two decades into a highlight-strewn career. He\u2019d be forgiven for loosening his grip, but his hand has never felt surer.”<\/p>\n Rolling Stone describes the recording as \u201cmidway between the country, gospel and soul camps, with thickly stacked harmonies that evoke the Dead\u2019s own folk-rock classic American Beauty.\u201d Returning to the northeast for a select number of solo acoustic shows, Ritter will showcase new works, as well as songs from his extensive, critically acclaimed catalog. Tickets are $29-$35.<\/p>\n The complete list of newly announced shows is:<\/p>\n Fruition <\/strong>(tickets on sale now)<\/em> Wild Adriatic<\/strong> Splintered Sunlight<\/strong> Josh Ritter<\/strong> Richard Thompson Electric Trio <\/strong>(tickets on sale now)<\/em> Philadelphia Funk Authority<\/strong> Swingin’ The Holidays with Rob Stoneback Big Band Aaron Neville<\/strong> Ted Vigil\u2019s John Denver Tribute<\/strong> The ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks is located at 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem<\/a>.
