Kevin Griffin, the vocalist and guitarist of Better Than Ezra, is known for chart-topping songs such as “Good,” “A Lifetime,” and “Desperately Wanting,” while also penning hits for artists like Train and Sugarland.

“Bringing the vocals of Mark McGrath, Kevin Griffin and Emerson Hart to the FireKeepers Event Center is an incredible way to celebrate the season with music that defined a generation,” said Jim Wise, Vice President of Marketing at FireKeepers Casino Hotel. “Our guests will have the chance to relive their favorite 90’s memories while enjoying a holiday twist on the songs of the season.”

One of the most successful arena rock bands of the 1970s and ‘80s, Jefferson Starship earned three platinum and eight gold records, along with numerous Top 40 Billboard singles. Now celebrating their 50th anniversary, the band has reached a rare milestone that only a select few rock legends ever achieve.

Formed by Paul Kantner in the 1970s, Jefferson Starship was envisioned as a collective of musical adventurers whose work grew into a catalog of rock classics. Today, the band continues to honor Kantner’s vision while thriving as a road-conquering force, performing across all 50 U.S. states, five continents, and countless countries.

The band’s current lineup includes original member David Freiberg, drummer Donny Baldwin (who first joined in 1982), keyboardist Chris Smith (who joined in 1998), guitarist Jude Gold (who joined in 2012), and singer/guitarist Cathy Richardson (who joined in 2008 after Kantner saw her perform with Big Brother and the Holding Company).

“Jefferson Starship’s music defined a generation, and their live performances continue to resonate with fans old and new,” said Jim Wise, Vice President of Marketing at FireKeepers Casino Hotel. “It’s their 50^th Anniversary celebration and the perfect event for anyone with guests in town for the holidays who love classic rock.”

Aaron Lewis, the Vermont-born powerhouse, first found success with Staind, the 2000s-era hard rock band known for its emotional depth and powerful sound. While Staind remains active, Lewis has also earned widespread acclaim as a solo country artist, embracing his roots and achieving two No. 1 Billboard Country Album debuts with Town Line (2011) and Sinner (2016). His success continued with a platinum collaboration alongside country legends George Jones and Charlie Daniels on “Country Boy” and a gold-certified Billboard No. 1 with “Am I The Only One” in 2021.

His 2022 album Frayed at Both Ends became the best-selling country album in America, further solidifying his place as one of country music’s most authentic and heartfelt voices. Lewis continues that legacy with his newest project, The Hill (2024), a collection of songs that reflect his signature blend of honesty, emotion, and storytelling.

“We’re thrilled to have Aaron Lewis return to the FireKeepers stage,” said Jim Wise, Vice President of Marketing at FireKeepers Casino Hotel. “His authenticity and talent resonate deeply with audiences, and we know guests are in for another outstanding performance.”

The two-time Grammy Award winner is celebrated as one of comedy’s sharpest voices. Known for his biting wit, signature delivery, and hilariously honest take on life’s absurdities, Black has built a career spanning television, film, Broadway, and countless sold-out tours around the world. Having recently wrapped his final world tour, Goodbye Yeller Brick Road, The Final Tour, this performance marks an exclusive opportunity for audiences to experience Lewis Black live following the conclusion of his legendary touring career.
