YES!!!! That was it! Thank you so much!

I ended up using the following from what you gave me above.

$events = get_posts( array(
        'posts_per_page' => 8,
        'post_type' => 'tribe_events',
        'orderby' => 'date', 
        'order' => 'DESC', 
        'post_status' => 'publish'
    ) );

Nico,

Originally I created a custom post type called “shows” and did a WP_Query to get the 8 most recent shows posted using the following code. I also used the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to add fields like Door Time, Ticket Price, Restrictions, etc.

$just_announced_args = array(
	'post_type' => 'shows', 
	'posts_per_page' => 8, 
	'orderby' => 'date', 
	'order' => 'DESC', 
	'status' => 'publish');

$justannouncedshows = new WP_Query( $just_announced_args );	
while ( $justannouncedshows->have_posts() ) : $justannouncedshows->the_post();

endwhile;

This query and loop got me what I needed.
This is the query I’m using to get the events sorted by the start date which pulls in the info correctly.

global $post;
 
// Retrieve all upcoming events
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'start_date' => date( 'Y-m-d' )
) );

Here is my query for trying to pull in the 8 most recent shows added to the Events Calendar.

$events = tribe_get_events( array(
	    'posts_per_page' => 8,
	    'post_type' => 'tribe_events',
	    'orderby' => 'date', 
		'order' => 'DESC', 
		'status' => 'publish'
	) );
