ROB THOMAS TO PERFORM AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT
SANTA YNEZ, CA – March 1, 2019 – Multiple Grammy-winning recording artist
Rob Thomas is coming to the Chumash Casino Resort’s Samala Showroom for an electrifying live performance at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 29, 2019. Tickets for the show are $99, $119, $129, $139 & $149.
This special performance will benefit Sidewalk Angels Foundation, the nonprofit organization founded by Marisol and Rob Thomas. The New York based foundation is dedicated to providing critically needed funds and support to over 20 no-kill animal shelters and animal rescues, across the country, that help to fight for the rights and fair treatment of those with no voice.
Thomas is one of modern music’s most compelling and commercially successful artists. For 20 years, he has been the front man and primary composer for Matchbox
Twenty, leading the band to multiplatinum success over the course of four albums and a string of No. 1 hits that include “Push,” “3AM,” “Bent,” “If You’re Gone,” and “Unwell.”
Thomas’ first two solo albums, 2005’s platinum-certified No. 1 album “…Something to Be” and 2009’s “Cradlesong,” generated the hit singles “Lonely No More,” “This is How
A Heart Breaks,” “Her Diamonds” and “Someday.” Thomas made history with
“…Something to Be” as having the first album by a male artist from a rock or pop group to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since the chart had debuted. With “Cradlesong,” he made history once again as the only male artist with multiple No. 1 hits at Adult Top
40, tying Pink with most No. 1s by a solo artist in the chart’s history. His most recent release, 2015’s “The Great Unknown,” was praised by the likes of Rolling Stone, which celebrated Thomas as “still the consummate pop-rock craftsman who has been making it all sound so smooth for years.”
Throughout his career, Thomas has collaborated with iconic artists, including
Mick Jagger on the No. 1 single “Disease,” Willie Nelson and Santana, with the latter resulting in 1999’s “Smooth” — the Latin-tinged blockbuster that earned Thomas three
Grammy Awards and spent 12 weeks atop Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. It was also named the No. 2 Hot 100 Song of All Time and No. 1 of the Rock Era.
Overall, Thomas has contributed to sales of more than 80 million records. In
2004, he was the first-ever honoree of the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s prestigious Hal
David Starlight Award, created to recognize a composer in the early years of his or her career who has already made a lasting impact. He has won numerous BMI and ASCAP
Awards, and has earned the Songwriter of the Year crown from both Billboard and BMI.
Thomas is credited for being an electrifying live performer, drawing fans of all ages to Matchbox Twenty’s concerts as well as to his solo shows around the globe. His
2016 critically acclaimed summer solo tour featured an innovative industry-first hologram karaoke backstage experience, where radio station winners and VIPs got a one-of-a-kind interactive “Hollagram” duet.
In 2017, Thomas and his band Matchbox Twenty toured to celebrate their 20th anniversary of their first album, the diamond award-winning “Yourself or Someone Like
You.” “A Brief History of Everything Tour” was played to sold-out venues around the world. On February 20th, Rob released his new single, “One Less Day (Dying Young)” worldwide and his upcoming album Chip Tooth Smile is out everywhere on April 26th.

popular music venues in Santa Barbara County.
