"Pumps and Punchlines"
Confirmed Lineup of Comedians : Renee Gauthier; Erin Jackson, Rachel Feinstein, and Erin Foley
Four of the country's top female comedians have come together for a girls' night comedy tour, making mock and spinning laughs out of romantic foibles, family, friends, sex, gossip, and of course, men. The comedienne lineup features Erin Foley, Renee Gauthier, Rachel Feinstein and Erin Jackson, and between them the sassy quartet have been stand-up hits at Second City, Gotham Comedy Club, Caroline's on Broadway, and the Laugh Factory; written for the Onion and Time Out Magazine; roasted Charlie Sheen; and appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show, The Ellen Degeneres Show and Last Comic Standing. These ladies mean business. Funny business.

Salt-n-Pepa
Since releasing their first album in 1986, Salt-n-Pepa has sold over 15 million albums and singles worldwide, making them one of the best-selling female rap acts of all time. Salt-n-Pepa has released five albums, with their 1993 album Very Necessary achieving the most sales and was certified five times platinum. Six of their single releases were certified either platinum or gold in the United States by the RIAA. In 1994, the group received three MTV Video Music Awards for "Whatta Man," including Best R&B Video. In 1995, they received the Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "None of Your Business." Although the group officially split ways in 2002, Salt-n-Pepa continue to work and perform together. Funkmaster Flex from HOT 97 will open the show and DJ.

The B-52s
After thirty years and over twenty million albums into their career, The B-52s remain among the most beloved rock stars ever. From the timeless gems of "Rock Lobster," "Planet Claire" and "Private Idaho" to the more recent classics, "Channell Z," "Love Shack," and "Roam", the B-52s' unforgettable dance-rock tunes start a party every time their music begins.

Johnny Winter
Johnny Winter has been a guitar hero without equal. Signing to Columbia Records in 1969, the largest solo artist deal of its time, Johnny immediately laid out the blueprint for his fresh take on classic blues-- a prime combination for the legions of fans just discovering the blues via the likes of Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. Winter's has had several Grammy nominated albums, including Guitar Slinger, Serious Business, and, most recently, I'm a Bluesman.

Edgar Winter Band
In late 1972, Edgar Winter brought together Dan Hartman, Ronnie Montrose and Chuck Ruff to form the Edgar Winter Group, the legendary band that created such hits as "Frankenstein" and the ever-popular "Free Ride". The band continues to thrill audiences with their live performances, always remaining on the cutting edge of music and style. With over 20 albums and numerous collaborative efforts to his credit, Edgar Winter is a true legend. Major national television and radio campaigns have relied on Edgar's music to advertise their products and Edgar has frequently appeared on television.
