Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters channel the spirit of the sixties on their Morro Rock Tour, rolling into town with a fresh batch of songs from their latest album, 'In The Bay.' The group’s affection for the era is unmistakable, weaving Beach Boys harmonies and Beatles-inspired melodies into a set that feels both nostalgic and lived-in. Thornton’s gravelly vocals cut through jangly guitars and sun-soaked rhythms, conjuring the California coast even in the heart of the city. Longtime fans will recognize the band’s signature blend of storytelling and swagger, but there’s a new warmth here, shaped by years on the road and a clear reverence for their musical heroes. The show’s energy is less about retro revival and more about honoring a lineage, with each track nodding to the past while keeping its boots firmly planted in the present.
