HAUSER - The Rebel Is Back Tour at The Amp
2025-05-18 20:00 | St. Augustine Amphitheatre, 1340C A1A South, St. Augustine, FL, 32080, United States
HAUSER – The Rebel Is Back Tour is at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Sunday, May 18, 2025 … with special guests Caroline Campbell and Amy Manford.
Since that fateful moment when he decided to create a new musical experience out of the long and established traditions of classical, pop, and rock music, HAUSER has been playing arena concerts all over the world … defying the conventions of the established music business. From his now iconic rendition of “Smooth Criminal” – the song that launched him as an internet sensation and where he was established as the founding member of the duo 2Cellos – he has captured the hearts and minds of millions.
HAUSER’s performance style may only be described as electric; a unique pairing of cello pyrotechnics that align beauty, elegance, and true rock muscle. Fueled by a repertoire base that is as wide and expansive as Lady Gaga is from Tchaikovsky or Shakira is from Shostakovich, HAUSER is the dynamic cellist performing all of it and taking the world by storm. For, what other classically trained cellist can say they have toured with Elton John?!
Whether you find him collaborating with other artistic legends or appearing in his own, stunning music video series, HAUSER consistently pushes the limits of his cello and his music-making. He is a phenomenon that is one part virtuoso and the other, that of sheer, animal magnetism. For HAUSER’s fans, perhaps it is simply his ability to unify generations of music lovers. HAUSER is a rockstar with a cello … and this is only the beginning.

About the Film
2019 Documentary film directed by Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov
The film follows Hatidze Muratova, one of the last wild beekeepers in North Macedonia. Living in an isolated mountain village without electricity or running water, Hatidze carefully harvests honey following the ancient rule: “Take half, leave half” – ensuring the bees’ survival and sustainable honey production.
The film’s peaceful rhythm is disrupted when a nomadic family with seven children moves in nearby. The patriarch, Hussein, sees opportunity in beekeeping but ignores Hatidze’s sustainable methods in favor of quick profits. This decision triggers a conflict that threatens not only Hatidze’s livelihood but the delicate natural balance she has maintained with her bees.
Admission: Free for Film Society Members and Students | $10.00 for Guests … at the door

Rick Springfield at The Amp
2025-05-29 18:30 | St. Augustine Amphitheatre, 1340C A1A South, St. Augustine, FL, 32080, United States
Rick Springfield is performing at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre as part of his I Want My 80’s Tour on Thursday, May 29, 2025 … with special guests John Waite, Wang Chung, & John Cafferty.
Over the past four decades, Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer. He’s the creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits. They include “Jessie’s Girl”, “Don’t Talk to Strangers”, “An Affair of the Heart”, “I’ve Done Everything for You”, “Love Somebody”, and “Human Touch”.
He’s an accomplished actor who has starred opposite Meryl Streep in the feature film Ricki and the Flash and he gave a chameleonic performance as the creepy Dr. Irving Pitlor in HBO’s prestige drama True Detective. He’s also earned great reviews for his portrayal of Lucifer on the CW hit Supernatural and, most recently, played the insane Pastor Charles on FX’s worldwide hit series American Horror Story.
An author as well, both his candid 2010 memoir Late, Late at Night (which Rolling Stone named one of the 25 greatest rock memoirs of all time) and his 2014 comedic novel Magnificent Vibration earned rave reviews and spots on the New York Times Best Sellers’ list. In 2014, Springfield was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame – located around the corner from the first apartment he lived in when he first arrived in the U.S. from Australia in 1971.
Springfield’s Sirius-XM radio show, Working Class DJ, is a huge hit and airs weekly on 80s on 8. His new album ‘Automatic’ – his first album of all new original material in 5 years – is out now.

Sam Barber at The Amp
2025-05-30 19:00 | St. Augustine Amphitheatre, 1340C A1A South, St. Augustine, FL, 32080, United States
Sam Barber is bringing his Restless Mind Tour – with special guests Waylon Wyatt and Noah Rinker – to the St. Augustine Amphitheatre Friday, May 30, 2025.
From Southeast Missouri, Barber has already seen his career begin on a meteoric rise. And his debut album, ‘Restless Mind’, is set to send him into orbit. Barber grew up in a town of 200 people, on a 400-acre farm, surrounded by a supportive family and grandparents in the next house over from his. His youth was spent playing baseball, football, basketball, or hunting and fishing. He recalls a ton of Steel Drivers and early Chris Stapleton playing around the house. Eventually, an old Gibson guitar in his parents’ home struck Barber’s fancy.
‘Restless Mind’ will feature music that dates to the first songs Barber ever wrote. “It sums up my whole music career and everything I’ve done,” he says of the record. The album ranges from stripped-down acoustic to fill-the-room melodies. So, he tapped multiple producers, including Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan’s ‘American Heartbreak’ as well as Barber’s 2023 EP, ‘Million Eyes’) to create the album, as Barber wanted to bring multiple perspectives to his sound.
Gates Open 6:00pm | Show 7:00pm
