Where Monumental Meets Memorable

The Last Show On Earth

Presented By: Equally Represented Arts ‘The Last Show on Earth’ is a multi-media vignette-style play that explores the absurdity and quiet beauty of contemporary life in an increasingly mediated world. Inspired by the films of Roy Andersson, the play unfolds as a series of loosely connected scenes that share a common creative theme rather than a single linear plot. Together, these moments form an emotional arc that moves from the everyday toward the existential. Audience engagement is central to the project. The show frequently breaks the “fourth wall,” blurring the line between performer and spectator and implicating the audience in the themes being examined. ‘The Last Show on Earth’ is written by Joe Taylor and directed by Lucy Cashion.

David Nail

Hailing from Kennett, Missouri, David Nail is well-respected up and down Music Row. Some might even call him a “tour de force” as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. The GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases, I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound Of A Million Dreams, I’m A Fire and Fighter, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker.

Steve Martin & Martin Short

The Best of Steve Martin and Martin Short Tour featuring Jeff Babko and Steep Canyon Rangers will come to The Fabulous Fox in St. Louis on Saturday, October 10 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 27 at 10:00 a.m. The Best of Steve Martin & Martin Short is a show that redefines the form in unexpected and profound ways, from two of the funniest, most influential and acclaimed talents of the past century. Their humor is often subversive, but it is always a joyous self-deprecating romp from two comedy masters driven to make each other laugh as much as the audience. The jokes come at you at a rapid-fire pace with little set-up and big punch lines as they mock Hollywood and the fickle nature of celebrity, but the comedy truly soars when they lovingly (and relentlessly) roast each other. Martin and Short’s chemistry and timing on stage reflects a friendship forged over three decades which developed when they met for the first time on the set of the 1986 film “Three Amigos.” These two titans of comedy have been touring together since 2015, when they launched their first live show entitled “A Very Stupid Conversation.”

Willow Avalon

Originally from Georgia and now based in Nashville, Willow Avalon’s musical journey began with her first word. “Elvis.” Raised by her mother and grandmother in a small Southern town, she grew up playing piano in church and taught herself guitar at age 12, using songwriting as both an escape and a means of self-expression through a life-journey that has been anything but straight-forward.

Black Country, New Road

There are few contemporary bands who can do musical reinvention quite as consistently as Black Country, New Road. From their Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut For the First Time, which touched upon everything from jazz to post-rock via klezmer music, to the art-rock meets chamber pop follow up Ants From Up There (both top 5 charting albums). The band’s ability to respond to changing circumstances is not only down to their close-knit friendship but due to their talent, adaptability and long-standing relationship together as musicians. A mix of classically trained and self-taught, the multi-instrumentalists gathered steam as a band in the late 2010s, regularly playing The Windmill in Brixton alongside friends and peers such as Squid and Black Midi, and soon found themselves being labelled “the best band in the world” by The Quietus.
