Croce to Cash: Here's the lineup for the 2015-16 Riverside Live! concert series

Riverside Concerts, the City of Rochester's music department, has released the schedule for the 2015-16 "Riverside Live!" concert series.

All the performances start at 7:30 p.m. inside the Mayo Civic Center's Presentation Hall. Tickets range from $21 to $31, depending on the show.

The series will debut on Oct. 2 with Herb Albert and Lani Hall. Albert is a nine-time Grammy award winner, member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and recipient of the National Medal of Arts. Hall, meanwhile, has two Grammy awards to her name, and is perhaps best known for her rendition of the theme song to the 1983 James Bond film Never Say Never Again. 

The lineup also features a pair of musicians with family ties to two of the greatest songwriters in American history. Rosanne Cash, the eldest daughter of country music icon Johnny Cash, will perform on Nov. 7; while A.J. Croce, the son of legendary singer-songwriter Jim Croce, will take the stage on May 6.

Here's the full list:

Friday, Oct. 2: Herb Alpert & Lani Hall

Wednesday, Oct. 21: Igudesman & Joo

Saturday, Nov. 7: Rosanne Cash

Friday, Jan. 15: Minneapolis Guitar Quartet
