Past Life Journey – Guided by Liz Lawrence
Thursday March 5th, 2026
6:30 – 8:30 pm
“The effects of a past life can manifest in your current life in many ways but should be used as a tool, not an excuse.” Madisyn Taylor
Inside our subconscious lie our memories from past lives. Though we seldom remember having lived these past lives, those experiences have had a hand in shaping who we are today. The effects of a past life can manifest in many ways – passions, likes & dislikes as well as phobias, self-limiting beliefs, physical problems, and creative abilities. They also can draw us to, or away from certain people, places and things. Who we are today is due to our past and once you take your journey, you’ll have a better understanding of your relationships with specific people, places & things.
Liz will be leading us back in a meditative journey to a place and time where we lived before.

Tomorrow We Die Tour
DMTB is a celebration of the music of the Dave Matthews Band – a time machine to a funky tea party in the ’90s, a boisterous era of tape trading, sing-alongs, and exploration into a new sonic landscape spearheaded by complex guitar riffs, soaring violin melodies, smooth sax lines, and explorative-explosive drumming.
Dedicated to recreating that moment in musical history, the DMTB has been honing their craft for over 20 years. Since 2004, the band’s ruthless touring schedule has been unparalleled, playing over 2000 shows in 46 states and 10 countries. The Buffalo, N.Y. based band has successfully paid tribute to the Dave Matthews Band, with heartfelt recreation of DMB’s musical spirit.
The DMTB aims to transport the listener back in time. The band takes inspiration from the classic DMB sound, with immense respect for the original quintet. While including material from the bands later and current catalogs, the goal is to create a well rounded and authentic tribute with attention to details and love for the music they play so honestly.

Over the past 3 decades the Soul Cruisers have been fortunate enough to grace the stage with many great artists from Bruce Springsteen, Little Anthony and The Imperials, Gloria Gaynor, Gary US Bonds, John Cafferty, Southside Johnny, The Emotions, Bon Jovi, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder. As well as being the longtime favorite house band at New York City’s famed Copacabana.

The band’s talented cast of musicians exudes a Jersey Shore soul vibe and has the musical versatility that appeals to a wide fan base. Whether he’s covering Springsteen, Southside Johnny, or Tom Petty at bars along the shore, performing at weddings, or playing for charity, Roddy and his band have always rocked the house.
Despite his musical accomplishments, Roddy is most proud of his charitable work and the support of his fans. When the pandemic hit and forced everyone into lockdown mode, Roddy sprang into action.
