Mar 12, 2025

1:00am – 1:50am CT

Empire Garage

This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Tuesday, March 11 at Empire Garage

Artie Tobia, a well-crafted songwriter with a strong soulful voice, released five full length albums. His last two, Aberdeen and Driven, enjoyed modest charting success on national radio charts. A storyteller, his band brings his lyrics to life with a genuine and authentic musicality.
In his current chapter he has rebranded his band as Redtail Revival, embracing the spirit of the Redtail Hawk.To mark the end of The Artie Tobia Band era, they will be releasing a live album— performances spanning the past 25 years. Then, charging full speed ahead with: A solo acoustic album of brand-new song. An all-original blues album and the next Roots Rock Americana album of songs, the first as Redtail Revival.
He has shared the stage with; Poco, Blue Oyster Cult, Dr. John, Jefferson Starship, Kansas, Tanya Tucker, The Subdudes, David Cook, Chip Taylor and Kenny Wayne Shepherd as well as others.
“You can’t fake a voice like Artie Tobia’s — it’s something you have to earn. Every note, like every lyric, rings with a hard-lived authenticity that, even during this so-called explosion of “roots rock/ Americana, is in very short supply."
