This high energy entertainment group continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its unique sound and engaging live show that targets the masses. Led by charismatic Twin brothers from Rio de Janeiro, they combine a plethora of genres into a live show that is equal parts rock concert, jam session, dance party and house party. Fans describe it like seeing your new best friends in concert.
Growing up in the violent, slums of Brazil, the Twins began playing classical music on violins their father made by hand. They used music as an escape from their reality and began teaching others in their neighborhood. After being featured on National Public Radio, the Twins were invited to the US on full ride music scholarships.
After performing 153 shows across 14 states in 2019, B2wins continue to cultivate a loyal fan base wherever they perform. From hip-hop heads to jazz aficionados, rockers to reggae fans, all find common ground at a B2wins show. The Twins are on a mission to change the world, one smile at a time.
Engaging & Relatable
By utilizing music, humor, audience interaction and participation, Walter & Wagner are able to connect with audiences in never before seen ways. Their magnetic personalities and sincerity, coupled with engaging showmanship, create a dynamite package that is equal parts fun and life changing. Using their story of overcoming extreme adversity through positivity, the Twins have inspired thousands of all ages and backgrounds around the world.

Foreigner is one of the world’s best selling bands with worldwide sales of more than 80 million records, including 37.5 million records in the US. Head Games is a seven piece band fronted by Tom Uecker (Outside Recess) that will bring you all the hits including; JUKEBOX HERO, HOT BLOODED, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS, DOUBLE VISION, and many more! In addition to their hits, the band will play some deeper album cuts and versions of songs recorded for their “Acoustique” album, in which Foreigner stripped down their hits to perform them acoustically. With 5 singers, backing this outstanding instrumentation this show will surely satisfy any musical fan, but leave the Foreigner fan wanting more!

Their music is all original and delightfully dynamic! You'll hear roots of soul and jazz coupled with the flash of rock and roll and the melancholy echo of classical music. Years of dedicated practice and expertise have created an original sound like nothing else you've heard!
