SUMMARY:Shemekia Copeland
DESCRIPTION:Tickets:\n$40/non-member\n$35/member \nPurchase Tickets\n\nAward-winning blues\, soul and Americana singer Shemekia Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. She is beloved worldwide for the fearlessness\, honesty and humor of her revelatory music\, as well as for delivering each song she performs with unmatched passion. Copeland — winner of the 2021 Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year— connects with her audience on an intensely personal level\, taking them with her on what The Wall Street Journal calls “a consequential ride” of “bold and timely blues.” NPR Music says Shemekia sings with “punchy defiance and potent conviction.” The Houston Chronicle describes her songs as “resilient pleas for a kinder tomorrow.” \nOn her new Alligator album\, Done Come Too Far\, Copeland continues the story she began telling on 2018’s groundbreaking America’s Child and 2020’s Grammy-nominated Uncivil War\, reflecting her vision of America’s past\, present and future. On Done Come Too Far\, she delivers her hard-hitting musical truths through her eyes\, those of a young American Black woman\, a mother\, and a wife. But she likes to have a good time too\, and her music reflects that\, at times putting her sly sense of humor front and center. “This album was made by all sides of me — happy\, sad\, silly\, irate — they’re all a part who I am and who we all are. I’m not political. I’m just talking about what’s happening in this country.” \nWith Done Come Too Far\, Copeland hits harder than ever with musically and lyrically adventurous songs and jaw-dropping performances that are at once timely and timeless. The Chicago Tribune’s famed jazz critic Howard Reich said\, “Shemekia Copeland is the greatest female blues vocalist working today. She pushes the genre forward\, confronting racism\, hate\, xenophobia and other perils of our time. Regardless of subject matter\, though\, there’s no mistaking the majesty of Copeland’s instrument\, nor the ferocity of her delivery. Copeland reaffirms the relevance of the blues.” \nPurchase Tickets\n\n“Shemekia Copeland is the greatest blues singer of her generation.” –The Washington Post \n“Shemekia Copeland has established herself as one of the leading blues artists of our time.” –NPR Music \n“Shemekia Copeland provides a soundtrack for contemporary America…powerful\, ferocious\, clear-eyed and hopeful…She’s in such control of her voice that she can scream at injustices before she soothes with loving hope. It sends shivers up your spine.” –Living Blues \n“Shemekia Copeland is an antidote to artifice. She is a commanding presence\, a powerhouse vocalist delivering the truth.” –The Philadelphia Inquirer \n“I am so happy Shemekia is delivering these songs that the world needs to hear. Her voice is strong and soulful\, and her message comes from her heart.” –Mavis Staples

SUMMARY:The Gibson Brothers
DESCRIPTION:$35/non-members\n$30/members \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nWhile The Gibson Brothers’ last release\, Mockingbird\, featured gorgeous production\, recreating the sound on stage was difficult. “We put together a band to go out and try to recreate it\,” remembers Eric Gibson. “But we couldn’t. We would have to have such a huge band to try to recreate that record\, but we did the best we could.” \nDarkest Hour producer Jerry Douglas—who has won 14 Grammy awards and backed up everyone from Ray Charles to Paul Simon and George Jones—wanted to make a record The Gibson Brothers could actually play on the road. So\, he picked the best songs out of dozens and squirreled the group away in Sound Emporium’s Studio B. But then the pandemic hit. “We did our last shows in March of 2020\,” Eric says. “We were in Nashville the week everything was shutting down. It was surreal\, but Jerry was like\, ‘Guys\, the world’s going crazy. Let’s let this be our little cocoon.’ And we did. We cut all of the acoustic stuff and then went home and didn’t play any more gigs until things started opening. Then we went back and finished the record with Jerry in February of 2021.” \nThe result is arguably the strongest record The Gibson Brothers have ever made. The songs recorded in the first recording period featured Mike Barber (bass)\, Justin Moses (mandolin)\, Eamon McGloughlin (fiddle)\, and of course\, Jerry Douglas\, adding in John Gardner (drums)\, Guthrie Trapp (electric guitar)\, Todd Parks(bass)\, and Alison Krauss (vocals) for the final tracks\, Darkest Hour showcases just how easily Eric and Leigh move from what Dan Auerbach dubbed “country soul” (“I Go Driving”) to high octane bluegrass (“What a Difference A Day Makes” and “Dust”) with Douglas always keeping the spotlight on the songs themselves. “That’s what I love about those guys\,” Douglas says\, “they are just great songwriters.” \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nCheck out the official music video of their cover of R.E.M.’s Everybody Hurts \n

SUMMARY:Jeffrey Gaines
DESCRIPTION:with Special Guest Frank Viele\n$18/Members\n$20/Non-Members \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nJeffrey Gaines has been heralded for his soul-searching lyrics and his powerful live performances. With only his voice and a guitar for accompaniment\, Gaines has earned a reputation as a captivating performer\, entertaining his audiences worldwide. \nThroughout his three-decade recording career\, Gaines has maintained an impressive standard for soul-searching\, introspective lyrics and catchy\, uplifting melodies. Since bursting on the scene with his self-titled 1992 debut album\, the charismatic singer-songwriter-guitarist has built a beloved body of recordings that’s won him a large and deeply devoted international fan base. He has sold out theaters and clubs throughout North America and Europe\, and has earned high respect from his peers\, Gaines was featured as Special Guest on tours with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers\, Tracy Chapman\, Stevie Nicks and Sheryl Crow\, among many others. \nGaines has been pursuing musical transcendence for much of his life. Raised in Harrisburg\, Pennsylvania\, by soul-music-loving parents\, he began his musical life playing guitar in local cover combos\, before his songwriting muse became too insistent to ignore. He soon landed his first record deal shortly after graduating from high school\, and in 1992 released his widely acclaimed debut album Jeffrey Gaines. The eponymous disc won massive amounts of critical and audience acclaim\, spawning the hit “Hero in Me.” Somewhat Slightly Dazed (1994) and Galore (1998) further expanded his audience. Interview magazine described Gaines’ work as “soul-searching” and “refreshingly free of jargon\, sentiment or cliché.” \nWith more than a quarter-century of recording and performing under his belt\, Jeffrey Gaines is enjoying life and music more than ever. “Nowadays\, I know what the job is about so there’s nothing to stress about\, he says. “I know that there’s people out there who want it\, so I have the opportunity to extend their experience. I guess I could lay my albums all out and see that they tell a story\, but personally I prefer to keep looking forward.” \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nUp until now\, Frank Viele has been something of a regional secret throughout New England. His quadruple-threat reputation as a singer\, guitarist\, songwriter and performer is unrivaled there\, as recognized by the New England Music Awards for Album of the Year\, Male Performer of the Year\, and Live Act of The Year he has stashed somewhere in his Connecticut home. \nOf course\, musically tuned-in folks throughout the world have been hearing reports of Viele’s prowess for several years. No Depression might have piqued their curiosity with its praise for his “vivid storytelling.” Or maybe they read about his singing in The Alternate Root\, which observed that his “street growl” could rivet passersby. Howl Magazine even called his shows “transcendent” and predicted that his music “will rattle your bones and penetrate to the core.” \nTruth be told\, audiences around the country have begun taking notice as Viele plays in further-flung venues. Since his first album\, Fall Your Way\, dropped in 2015\, he’s been called to open for Will Hoge\, Blues Traveler\, Lee DeWyze\, Zach Myers of Shinedown\, The Marshall Tucker Band\, and in his somewhat wonderstruck words\, “artists who have been on my personal playlists for years.” \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:Soggy Po' Boys
DESCRIPTION:$12/Members\n$15/Non-Members \n“Although New Hampshire isn’t the most obvious home for a group so devoted to the culture of The Big Easy\, the Soggy Po’ Boys seem genuine in their ambition to spread the word about jazz New Orleans style\, and they’re creating an accessible and fun way into this world.”\n-London Jazz News \n“…These guys have done their homework\, worked it out on the bandstand and put in the hours in the studio. It all adds up to a party you can bring with you when you want to treat your friends to a real good time.” \n-Ben Schenck of New Orleans’ Panorama Jazz Band \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nThe Soggy Po Boys\, native to New England\, have quickly become an institution. They are spreading the good news of New Orleans music across the northeast and beyond\, playing at concert halls and street corners; music festivals and burlesque festivals; bars and libraries; wherever the party requires. Part of the beauty of New Orleans music is that it’s celebrated and appreciated wherever it goes\, from the street to the theater. \nThe Po Boys formed in 2012 to shake the walls of a local club on a Fat Tuesday but have honed their sound and become more than a Mardi Gras centerpiece. Exploring the vast musical traditions of New Orleans and expanding their repertoire to look beyond NOLA jazz\, the band includes traditional Caribbean tunes (it’s been said that New Orleans is the northernmost city in the Caribbean)\, as well as Meters funk\, soul\, and brass band / street beat music. There are a myriad of traditions that flow into New Orleans culture just as there are tributaries that feed the Mississippi\, and the Po Boys are eager to explore what makes the music of New Orleans so damn special. You’ll hear the heavy influence of the New Orleans sound across the band and in the stories told by their original tunes. Despite the scope of its sound\, the outfit is only seven people\, and thrives on the interplay and group dynamics that bring this music to life. \nThe Soggy Po Boys are:​ \nStu Dias- Vocals / Guitar\nEric Klaxton- Clarinet/Sop. Sax\nJosh Gagnon – Trombone\nNick Mainella- Tenor Sax\nMike Effenberger- Piano\nBrett Gallo- Drums\nScott Kiefner- Bass \nPURCHASE TICKETS

His musical knowledge has inspired a varied repertoire\, and he is equally at home with a range of musical genres—folk\, pop\, gospel\, jazz—and from upbeat storytelling and touching ballads to full orchestra performances. \nLivingston has never stopped performing since those early coffeehouse days\, shared the stage with major artists such as Joni Mitchell\, Linda Ronstadt\, Fleetwood Mac\, Jimmy Buffett\, and Jethro Tull\, and he maintains a busy concert schedule\, touring internationally. He is a natural performer\, peppering his shows with personal stories\, anecdotes and ineffable warmth that connect him to his fans. His relaxed on-stage presence belies the depth of his musical knowledge\, and fans might just as often be treated to a classic Gershwin or something from the best of Broadway. \nLivingston became a professor at Berklee College of Music in 1989\, where taught a Stage Performance. He continues teaching young artists invaluable lessons learned over the course of an extensive career on the road at colleges and institutions nationally and internationally\, including at The Frost School at the University of Miami\, Tulane in New Orleans\, Endicott College in Massachusetts\, and many more. Former students include Charlie Puth\, Liz Longley\, and Gavin DeGraw. His book\, Stage Performance\, released in 2011 offers those lessons to anyone who is interested in elevating their presentation standards to professional standards. \nLivingston’s 50th year of making music was celebrated by Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker\, both declaring January 18\, 2017 “Livingston Taylor Day”. A documentary film entitled “Livingston Taylor: Life is Good” was released in 2018 at national and international film festivals. It has garnered many awards\, nominations\, and accolades\, including The Van Gogh Award for the Feature Documentary category at the Amsterdam International Film Festival.  \nIn February 2019\, Livingston released “The Best of LIVe – 50 Years of Livingston Taylor Live”. This album features 11 song selections from his upcoming “LIVe – Livingston Taylor Live” Box Set. Upon release\, the album was ranked in the top 10 and his song “Good Friends” was #2 on the Folk DJ chart. \nIn March 2019\, the American Public Television special “Livingston Taylor Live from Sellersville: Songs and Stories” began broadcasting on PBS stations across the country. Click here to to watch the trailer. \n“LIVe – 50 Years of Livingston Taylor Live” was released in July of 2019. It features 87 never-been-released recordings from live shows from 1969 through 2016. It also includes the documentary film “Livingston Taylor – Life is Good” and a 54-page commemorative photo book with notes and stories from Livingston.

SUMMARY:Judy Collins
DESCRIPTION:$140/Members\n$160/Non-Members \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\n*Due to the special nature of this event\, Member COMP Tickets and I Believe Passes will not be accepted*\n  \nJudy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work\, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. \nThe award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album\, Wildflowers\, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Judy’s dreamy and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the Clowns\,” a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical A Little Night Music\, won “Song of the Year” at the 1975 Grammy Awards. She’s garnered several top-ten hits gold- and platinum-selling albums. Recently\, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright\, Shawn Colvin\, Dolly Parton\, Joan Baez\, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins. \nJudy began her impressive music career at 13 as a piano prodigy dazzling audiences performing Mozart’s “Concerto for Two Pianos\,” but the hard luck tales and rugged sensitivity of folk revival music by artists such as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger seduced her away from a life as a concert pianist. Her path pointed to a lifelong love affair with the guitar and pursuit of emotional truth in lyrics. The focus and regimented practice of classical music\, however\, would be a source of strength to her inner core as she navigated the highs and lows of the music business. \nJudy Collins is as creatively vigorous as ever\, writing\, touring worldwide\, and nurturing fresh talent. She is a modern-day Renaissance woman who is a filmmaker\, record label head\, musical mentor\, and an in-demand keynote speaker for mental health and suicide prevention. She continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart. \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:An Evening with Chris Smither
DESCRIPTION:*SOLD OUT*\nBorn in Miami\, during World War II\, Chris Smither grew up in New Orleans where he first started playing music as a child. The son of a Tulane University professor\, he was taught the rudiments of instrumentation by his uncle on his mother’s ukulele. “Uncle Howard\,” Smither says\, “showed me that if you knew three chords\, you could play a lot of the songs you heard on the radio. And if you knew four chords\, you could pretty much rule the world.” With that bit of knowledge under his belt\, he was hooked. “I’d loved acoustic music – specifically the blues – ever since I first heard Lightnin’ Hopkins’ Blues In My Bottle album. I couldn’t believe the sound Hopkins got. At first I thought it was two guys playing guitar. My style\, to a degree\, came out of trying to imitate that sound I heard.” \nIn his early twenties\, Smither turned his back on his anthropology studies and headed to Boston at the urging of legendary folk singer Eric von Schmidt. It was the mid-’60s and acoustic music thrived in the streets and coffeehouses there. Smither forged lifelong friendships with many musicians\, including Bonnie Raitt who went on to record his songs\, “Love You Like A Man” and “I Feel the Same. (Their friendship has endured as their career paths intertwined over the years.) What quickly evolved from his New Orleans and Cambridge musical experiences is his enduring\, singular guitar sound – a beat-driven finger-picking\, strongly influenced by the playing of Mississippi John Hurt and Lightnin’ Hopkins\, layered over the ever-present backbeat of his rhythmic\, tapping feet (always mic’d in performance). \nSmither’s first albums\, I’m A Stranger\, Too! (1971) and Don’t It Drag On (1972) were released on Poppy Records\, home of kindred spirit Townes Van Zandt. By the time Smither recorded his third album\, Honeysuckle Dog with Lowell George and Dr. John helping out\, United Artists had absorbed Poppy and ultimately dropped much of their roster\, including Smither. Smither made his next record in 1985\, when the spare It Ain’t Easy on Adelphi Records marked his return to the studio. \nBy the early ’90s\, Smither’s steady nationwide touring and regular release of consistently acclaimed albums cemented his reputation as one of the finest acoustic musicians in the country. His 1991 album\, Another Way to Find You\, was recorded live in front of an in-studio audience with no overdubs or second takes. This would be the first of two albums with Flying Fish Records. His next recording\, Happier Blue\, was embraced by Triple A radio and received the NAIRD (now AFIM) award as Best Folk Recording of 1993. Up On The Lowdown (1995) marked the first of a trio of albums to be recorded with producer Stephen Bruton at The Hit Shack in Austin and his first of five albums with roots label HighTone Records. Up On the Lowdown rode the crest of the newly formed Americana radio format wave and sparked considerable interest abroad. A tour of Australia with Dave Alvin and extensive solo touring in Europe led to an expanding global interest in Smither. His song\, “I Am the Ride\,” from this album inspired the independent film\, The Ride\, for which Smither also composed the original score. \nIn early 1997 Smither released Small Revelations. It climbed the Americana and Triple A radio charts and led to concert dates with B.B. King\, Bonnie Raitt\, Nanci Griffith\, and the hugely successful\, original Monsters of Folk’ tour with Ramblin’ Jack Elliott\, Dave Alvin and Tom Russell. Small Revelations also generated several film projects for Smither. Emmylou Harris recorded his song\, “Slow Surprise\,” for the The Horse Whisperer soundtrack on MCA. And his recording of “Hold On” was used in the indie feature film Love From Ground Zero. Smither also shared insight into his guitar style and technique on two instructional DVDs\, available from Homespun Video. \nHis CD\, Drive You Home Again (1999)\, garnered four-stars from Rolling Stone. And with it\, Smither continued to tour world-wide. Shortly after\, in 2000\, Smither released his one-man-tour-de-force\, Live As I’ll Ever Be. Recorded in-concert at various clubs and concert halls in California\, Dublin\, Galway\, Boston\, and Washington DC\, it has proven to be a fan favorite\, capturing Smither at what he loves to do: performing in front of an audience. \nTrain Home (2003) was Smither’s last record for HighTone and his first with producer David Goodrich. Over a six-week period\, basic tracks for Train Home were recorded in the relaxed environment of Smither’s home near Boston. Working with new session musicians\, the record is simultaneously sparse and assured. Bonnie Raitt graciously provided backing vocals and slide guitar on Smither’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row.” And Smither’s “Seems So Real” from the CD earned a Folk Alliance Award as “Song of the Year.” \nIn 2005\, jazz great Diana Krall covered “Love Me Like A Man\,” introducing what is now a blues standard to a whole world of jazz fans. Shortly after\, Smither’s song “Slow Surprise” was included in the independent film\, Brother’s Shadow. In addition\, Smither narrated a two-CD audio book recording of “Will Rogers’ Greatest Hits.” Continuing to expand his creative horizon\, Smither was invited to contribute an essay to Sixty Things to Do When You Turn Sixty\, a 2006 collection of essays by American luminaries on reaching that milestone. In 2009\, Melville House published Amplified\, a book featuring 16 short stories by notable American performing songwriters. Smither’s story Leroy Purcell about a touring musician’s encounter with a Texas State Patrolman leads off the collection. \nWith the release of his 12th recording Leave The Light On (2006) on his own imprint\, Mighty Albert\, Smither began a new label relationship with the renowned acoustic and modern folk label\, Signature Sounds. For the recording\, Smither reunited with producer David Goodrich and session musicians Mike Piehl\, Lou Ulrich and Anita Suhanin. As an added treat\, Smither invited good friend and Grammy Award-winning multi- instrumentalist\, Tim O’Brien\, along with rising American roots stars\, Ollabelle\, to add their distinctive talents on several tracks. Smither followed this with Time Stands Still (2009)\, his most stripped down recording in some time\, working with just two accompanists after the same trio had played a rare band performance – a non-solo setup required in order to play a Netherlands festival. \nAbout the recording Smither says\, “We’re the only three guys on this record\, and most of the songs only have three parts going on. We had a freewheeling feeling at that festival gig\, and we managed to make a lot of that same feeling happen in this record.” In 2011 Smither put out two fan projects: a collection of live tracks from newly discovered concert recordings from the 1980s-1990s titled Lost and Found and the rollicking EP\, What I Learned in School\, on which Smither covered six classic rock and roll songs. \nSmither followed these fan-projects with Hundred Dollar Valentine (2012)\, a ★★★★★ (MOJO) studio record of all Smither-penned songs. With longtime producer David “Goody” Goodrich at the helm\, this collection sported Smither’s trademark acoustic guitar sound and evocative sonic textures meshed with spare\, brilliant songs\, delivered in a bone-wise\, hard-won voice. \nIn 2014 Smither released Still on the Levee (2014) – a double-CD retrospective. Recorded in New Orleans at the Music Shed\, this career-spanning project features fresh new takes on 24 iconic songs from his vast career and some very special guests including the legendary Allen Toussaint and Loudon Wainwright III. \nThe coffee table style book Chris Smither Lyrics 1966-2012 and Signature Sounds’ Link of Chain – an all-star tribute record including a stellar list of artists offering their takes on some Smither favorites including Josh Ritter\, Bonnie Raitt\, Loudon Wainwright III\, Dave Alvin\, Peter Case\, Tim O’Brien\, Patty Larkin\, and many others were fan-favorite accompaniments to the retrospective CD . \nIn March 2018\, Smither released his eighteenth record\, Call Me Lucky (Signature Sounds/Mighty Albert) once again teaming up with producer and multi-instrumentalist David Goodrich. Also joined by Billy Conway (Morphine) and Matt Lorenz (The Suitcase Junket)\, Smither recorded eight new originals along with some very special and surprising covers at the Blue Rock studios in the Texas hills in June 2017. \nIn October 2020\, More From The Levee\, the followup to the 50-year career retrospective Still on the Levee\, was released.

Out front is Clinton\, a lightning bolt charismatic front man with dynamically expressive pipes that effortlessly traverse bluesy pleading\, and honeyed balladeering. \nThe Commonheart’s sophomore album\, ‘Pressure’ (Jullian Records)\, is both rugged and refined. The 10-song album showcases raw-nerve soul musicianship pristinely recorded. It’s an album by a band on a mission. “We are willing to take risks and to go at any lengths for this band\,” Clinton says affirmatively. “We are ready to spread positivity and make a stretch of this thing.” \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:Taylor Ashton
DESCRIPTION:$18/Member\n$20/Non-Members \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nRecorded over the course of a 4\,000-mile cross-country roadtrip\, Taylor Ashton’s gorgeous new album\, Stranger To The Feeling\, is a sonic odyssey through the heart of America\, one that works its way chronologically and geographically from coast to coast as it meditates on the meaning of closeness and connection. The performances are warm and inviting\, anchored by Ashton’s deft guitar and banjo work and rich\, easygoing melodicism\, and the recordings—helmed by producer Jacob Blumberg and captured with a broad range of collaborators including Courtney Hartman\, Big Thief’s Buck Meek\, Lake Street Dive’s Rachael Price\, Vulfpeck’s Theo Katzman\, Late Show bandleader Louis Cato\, and Mipso’s Jacob Sharp—are alternately sparse and lush\, with arrangements often serving as aural reflections of their physical environments. From a blanket in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park to a spiritual vortex in Sedona\, AZ\, the settings are inextricable from the songs\, and the result is a moving collection that manages to evoke both the gentle virtuosity of Nick Drake and the buoyant wit of Paul Simon. \nBorn and raised in Canada\, Ashton got his start fronting the beloved Vancouver five-piece Fish & Bird. After moving to NYC\, he teamed up with Courtney Hartman for 2018’s Been On Your Side\, which Rolling Stone proclaimed “packs a punch\,” and two years later released his solo debut\, The Romantic\, earning widespread praise alongside dates with the likes of Sarah Jarosz\, Madison Cunningham\, The Wood Brothers\, and more. \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:Peter Yarrow
DESCRIPTION:$35/Members\n$40/Non-Members \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nPeter’s talents as a creative artist—both with Peter\, Paul & Mary and as a solo performer—are frequently directed at using music to convey a message of humanity and caring. His gift for songwriting has produced some of the most moving songs Peter\, Paul & Mary have recorded\, including “Puff\, the Magic Dragon\,” “Day is Done\,” “Light One Candle\,” and “The Great Mandala.” As a member of the renowned musical trio\, he has earned many gold and platinum albums\, has been awarded numerous Grammys\, and nominated for several more. More important to Peter\, however\, is the acknowledgment of the central role that he and his partners have played in bringing the folk renaissance of the 1960s to the hearts and homes of the American public. \nPeter Yarrow’s life and work\, culminating in the founding and leadership of Operation Respect\, embraces the premise that if each person finds a way to articulate his or her own voice and joins with others\, together they can become a powerful force for the transformation of society. \nPeter is not about to give up the demanding path he’s chosen. “We’ve lived through a time in which people have felt they could forge their own future and make a better world\,” he said. “We may not have achieved our dreams in the time frame that we once believed was possible\, but the magnitude of what is yet to be achieved only confirms the importance of our commitment. Knowing this\,\nwe can’t stop now.” \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:Randy Edelman
DESCRIPTION:$18/Members\n$20/Non-Members \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\n\nRandy’s music is not of an ordinary world\, but rather from an other dimension …one that has no time for things that have no soul. Cascading wildly through infinity his music brings joy\, an ephemeral spark\, a firefly’s ethereal glow\, the feeling of running against the wind\, a quicksand of shadows and an echo of memories\, the darkness of bitter coffee\, the light of a madness that shines. His symphonies embody all of those emotions and more…sensitivity is his strength\, romance his poetry…music his passion and predestination…. \n\nIt’s never safe to think we are done in life. When we imagine we have finished our story destiny steps on turning the page and showing us another chapter. Randy’s career dances with change. From conducting orchestras in the pits of Broadway to Clive Davis and Columbia Records\, to a pop career in the UK on Elton John’s Rocket record label\, Randy wrote songs covered by icons including Patti LaBelle\, Olivia\, Newton-John\, The Carpenters\, Nelly\, Willy Nelson\, Blood\, Sweat and Tears\, Dionne Warwick\, and even Bing Crosby. He opened arena and stadium concerts for The Carpenters\, and even the legendary Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention…. \nSuddenly serendipity stepped onto the threshold of success and Randy went on to become one of the leading soundtrack architects for over 100 motion pictures and television themes. Some of those include “My Cousin Vinny”\, “Ghostbusters ll”\, “The Bruce Lee Story”\, “Dragonheart”\, “While You Were Sleeping”\, “Kindergarten Cop”\, “Twins”\, the theme for the hit series “MacGyver”\, the theme for the Olympics\, and the monumental film  “Last of the Mohicans” which earned him a Golden Globe nomination. \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\n  \n  \n

They are spreading the good news of New Orleans music across the northeast and beyond\, playing at concert halls and street corners; music festivals and burlesque festivals; bars and libraries; wherever the party requires. Part of the beauty of New Orleans music is that it’s celebrated and appreciated wherever it goes\, from the street to the theater. \nThe Po Boys formed in 2012 to shake the walls of a local club on a Fat Tuesday but have honed their sound and become more than a Mardi Gras centerpiece.

You’ll hear the heavy influence of the New Orleans sound across the band and in the stories told by their original tunes. Despite the scope of its sound\, the outfit is only seven people\, and thrives on the interplay and group dynamics that bring this music to life. \nThe Soggy Po Boys are:​ \nStu Dias- Vocals / Guitar\nEric Klaxton- Clarinet/Sop.
