Meet the Musicians: Eliza Lynn and Mike Alexander
Eliza Lynn is a folk, blues, and gospel songwriter with a “big, room-filling voice” and a sound rooted in blues, old-time country folk, and soul. Since releasing her debut album, Frisky or Fair (2005), Eliza has recorded five albums, including The Weary Wake Up (2007) at Echo Mountain, Haven (2009), Together (2011), and Goodbye Nashville (2014), recorded in Scotland. Her career has also taken her to Abbey Road Studios in London and the Belfast-Nashville Songwriting Festival.

When Franklin Rabon witnessed Oasis light up Wembley Stadium, something ignited. The raw power, the massive singalongs, the pure rock and roll electricity—it was everything that made him fall in love with Oasis in the first place. Franklin left Wembley with more than memories—he left with a purpose.

Supernova isn't just another tribute band going through the motions. This six-piece outfit is obsessed with recreating the energy, intensity, and swagger of a live Oasis performance. From the opening chords of "Rock 'n' Roll Star" to the final notes of "Champagne Supernova," every show is crafted to deliver the full Oasis experience—loud, raw, and unapologetic rock and roll.

Most fans never got the chance to see Oasis in their prime—before the massive stadiums, when they were still the scrappy Manchester lads playing clubs and theaters with something to prove. Supernova exists to give you that experience: an intimate, high-energy Oasis show where you can feel the music in your chest and sing every word at the top of your lungs. Whether you've been a fan since "Definitely Maybe" or just discovered them recently, Supernova delivers the closest thing to a real Oasis gig you'll find on this side of the Atlantic.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime, she hides out in the last place anyone would look — a convent. Suddenly, the sequins are swapped for habits, and the nightclub turns into a nave. But when Deloris brings her unholy amount of soul to the choir loft, heaven gets a whole new groove.

Sister Act is a holy-rolling, soul-lifting celebration of sisterhood, second chances, and songs that raise the roof. As Deloris helps the sisters find their voices, they just might change her heart in return.

Part divine comedy, part disco revival, it’s proof that a little funk — and a lot of faith — can turn any sanctuary into a showstopper.
