Better Than Ezra: Legends of the Fall

Better Than Ezra brings its alternative rock roots to Madison for the Legends of the Fall: Closer To The Edge tour. Formed in Baton Rouge in 1988 and now based in New Orleans, the band is best known for the multi-platinum album Deluxe and the 1995 single 'Good,' which reached No. 1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. With nine studio albums behind them, including 2024's Super Magick, they have a deep catalog to draw from.

Live, the quartet—Kevin Griffin, Tom Drummond, Michael Jerome, and James Arthur Payne Jr.—carries the energy of a band that spent years playing house parties and fraternity shows before breaking big. Their story, marked by a seven-year climb to a major label and a No. 1 single, gives their performances a sense of hard-won momentum. Fans can expect a mix of '90s alt-rock staples and newer material, delivered with the seasoned polish of a band that has spent decades on the road.
