ROME (Formerly of Sublime with Rome) - Live In Concert with NASH.V.ILL

This event is a one-time occurrence at Mr. Smalls Theatre on November 16th, 2025, from 7:00pm to 11:00pm.

Presented by Opus One, PromoWest & 105.9 The X.

For over 15 years, multi-platinum musician, songwriter and producer Rome Ramirez (ROME) was the voice behind a sound that shaped summers and soundtracked road trips as the frontman of Sublime with Rome.

With four albums, multiple gold and platinum records, and collaborations with artists from Dirty Heads to Enrique Iglesias to Jelly Roll and Blues Traveler, ROME has built a career on versatility and a copious amount of talent.

His new solo work is a return to roots not just sonically, but spiritually. It’s honest, melodic, and genre-fluid: a mix of reggae, soul, pop, folk and rock that exudes feelings like if Bob Marley, Leon Bridges, and Tom Petty cut a record in Nashville. There are live instruments. There are lyrics that say something. And there’s no pretending.

Working together with powerhouse producer Dann Huff (Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Josh Groban, Carrie Underwood), ROME has been busy recording his new music at La Grange Studios in Nashville. His first single “Why Me?” released during the spring of 2025 is a laid-back, grateful reflection on the weird road Rome’s been on, and his brand new single, “Slow & Easy” featuring longtime collaborators and Billboard chart-toppers Dirty Heads is a spirited summertime gem of a song, which debuted as the Most Added song at Alternative radio in and continues to climb the chart with new stations adding the track.

ROME and Dirty Heads share a storied history together having released the GOLD-certified hit song “Lay Me Down” featuring ROME back in 2010, which went onto reach #1 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart and established a record milestone as the song with the longest stint atop the chart for an independently released title.

After years of writing for others, ROME is ecstatic to be writing for himself again — in between raising kids, packing out venues now entirely on his own, and chasing the magic that got him into music in the first place. This is Rome, without the filter. And he’s just getting started.
