SUMMARY:The Commonheart
DESCRIPTION:$15/Members\n$18/Non-Members \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\n“This band is therapy for me to bring myself back to being a better person\, and I hope people come along with me\,” says powerhouse singer Clinton Clegg of The Commonheart. \nClinton didn’t grow up in a Baptist church\, and his soul machine of a band isn’t pushing religion. Live and in the studio\, the Pittsburgh-based collective is offering feel-good positivity\, Golden Rule messaging\, and sweat-soaked performances that nimbly ease through blues\, vintage soul\, and rock. \nThe nonet is bonded by familial-like ties and a desire to foster spiritual uplift. Among its ranks are female backup singers\, drums\, bass\, guitar\, a horn section\, and keyboards. 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:Tom Chapin
DESCRIPTION:$27/Members\n$30/Non-Members \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nIn a career that spans six decades\, 26 albums and three GRAMMY awards\, Hudson Valley Troubadour Tom Chapin has covered an incredible amount of creative ground.

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

SUMMARY:Soggy Po Boys
DESCRIPTION:$15/Non-Members\n$12/Members \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\nNick Mainella- Tenor Sax\nJosh Gagnon – Trombone\nMike Effenberger- Piano\nScott Kiefner- Upright Bass\nBrian Waterhouse – Drums/Percussion \nPurchase Tickets\n\n

SUMMARY:Madeleine Peyroux
DESCRIPTION:$125/Members\n$145/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  \nMuch like songbird Edith Piaf\, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’\, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later\, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose\, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy. \nBorn in Athens\, Georgia in 1974\, Madeleine “grew up in a house filled with music” and from an early age “instinctively realised music’s soothing power” but it was her teenage years in the French capital that turned the childhood notion into an all-consuming vocation for life. \nYoung Madeleine moved to Paris with her mother in 1987 following her parents divorce. “To soothe me during the upheaval”\, she recalls\, “I was given a guitar and took to playing in the streets almost immediately.” \nThe curious teenager started skipping school to frequent the city’s Latin Quarter where street musicians dwelled\, keen to learn about their music and way of life. At 16\, the fearless teen joined the Lost Wandering Blues and Jazz Band with whom she toured the streets of Europe\, discovering Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday while “voraciously picking up all the songs and all the guitar playing” she could. \nThe two-year touring adventure set Madeleine on a creative path for life and proved to be a gateway to greater things. In 1991 the band travelled to New York where Madeleine’s unique talents were spotted by Atlantic Records’ Yves Beauvais. The young singer declined the music executive’s initial record deal offer but relented several years later and in 1996 her breakthrough album Dreamland was released. \nDreamland sold a striking 200\,000 copies and Madeleine’s dusky voice was likened to that of Jazz greats Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. Featuring top musicians Marc Ribot\, Vernon Reid\, Cyrus Chestnut\, Charlie Giordano\, Greg Cohen\, Kenny Wollesen\, Regina Carter\, Leon Parker and James Carter\, the album included Madeleine’s renditions of Holiday’s Gettin’ Some Fun Out of Life\, Bessie Smith’s Lovesick Blues\, and I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter. \nDreamland cemented Madeleine Peyroux as a ‘classic’ musical talent that was here to stay\, and the soulful singer found herself touring the world\, singing with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and opening for Cesaria Evora. \nThirty years after her formative busking days Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades include the coveted BBC International Artist Of The Year honour. \nMadeleine’s thirst for creative exploration is unfading and her willingness to face creative challenges remains as solid now as it was three decades ago. \nWith endearing passion and great curiosity the unstoppable genre-defying virtuoso continues her search for the good and examines life with the treasured William Congreve belief that Music has charms to soothe the savage beast. \nMadeleine might attribute her success to “mostly luck” but to the industry and loyal fans alike\, it is the immense talent and utter dedication to her craft that shines through. “Peyroux is a tremendous talent and almost a total intuitive” reflects Larry Klein\, “she has the capacity to get the magic. When she sings and plays her guitar\, great things happen.” \nPURCHASE TICKETS

DESCRIPTION:$125/Members\n$145/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  \nMuch like songbird Edith Piaf\, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’\, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later\, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose\, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy. \nBorn in Athens\, Georgia in 1974\, Madeleine “grew up in a house filled with music” and from an early age “instinctively realised music’s soothing power” but it was her teenage years in the French capital that turned the childhood notion into an all-consuming vocation for life. \nYoung Madeleine moved to Paris with her mother in 1987 following her parents divorce. “To soothe me during the upheaval”\, she recalls\, “I was given a guitar and took to playing in the streets almost immediately.” \nThe curious teenager started skipping school to frequent the city’s Latin Quarter where street musicians dwelled\, keen to learn about their music and way of life. At 16\, the fearless teen joined the Lost Wandering Blues and Jazz Band with whom she toured the streets of Europe\, discovering Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday while “voraciously picking up all the songs and all the guitar playing” she could. \nThe two-year touring adventure set Madeleine on a creative path for life and proved to be a gateway to greater things. In 1991 the band travelled to New York where Madeleine’s unique talents were spotted by Atlantic Records’ Yves Beauvais. The young singer declined the music executive’s initial record deal offer but relented several years later and in 1996 her breakthrough album Dreamland was released. \nDreamland sold a striking 200\,000 copies and Madeleine’s dusky voice was likened to that of Jazz greats Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. Featuring top musicians Marc Ribot\, Vernon Reid\, Cyrus Chestnut\, Charlie Giordano\, Greg Cohen\, Kenny Wollesen\, Regina Carter\, Leon Parker and James Carter\, the album included Madeleine’s renditions of Holiday’s Gettin’ Some Fun Out of Life\, Bessie Smith’s Lovesick Blues\, and I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter. \nDreamland cemented Madeleine Peyroux as a ‘classic’ musical talent that was here to stay\, and the soulful singer found herself touring the world\, singing with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and opening for Cesaria Evora. \nThirty years after her formative busking days Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades include the coveted BBC International Artist Of The Year honour. \nMadeleine’s thirst for creative exploration is unfading and her willingness to face creative challenges remains as solid now as it was three decades ago. \nWith endearing passion and great curiosity the unstoppable genre-defying virtuoso continues her search for the good and examines life with the treasured William Congreve belief that Music has charms to soothe the savage beast. \nMadeleine might attribute her success to “mostly luck” but to the industry and loyal fans alike\, it is the immense talent and utter dedication to her craft that shines through. “Peyroux is a tremendous talent and almost a total intuitive” reflects Larry Klein\, “she has the capacity to get the magic. When she sings and plays her guitar\, great things happen.” \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:The Sweetback Sisters Country Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Non-Member: $30\nMember: $27 \nPurchase Tickets\n\nThe Sweetback Sisters are BACK! For the first time since 2019\, The Sweetback Sisters will be bringing their Country Christmas Sing Along Spectacular to the Firehouse Center for the Arts and we can’t wait for an evening full of music\, trivia\, prizes\, warm-n-fuzzies\, and so.much.more. Don’t miss out on this holiday tradition! \nTechnically speaking\, The Sweetback Sisters come from Brooklyn\, but philosophically\, they hail from a parallel universe\, one where country music history zigged instead of zagged. \n“I wouldn’t call us a throwback band\,” says Emily Miller. “What we do is look back to the golden era of country music and imagine that the genre took a different evolutionary fork\, that the honky-tonk element took over rather than the pop-rock sound you hear everywhere today. I feel like we’re actually a very modern band\, just on an alternate timeline.” \nIt’s been more than 15 years since The Sweetback Sisters first began forging their own sonic universe\, and on their new album\, ‘King Of Killing Time\,’ they push their sound into more adventurous and playful territory than ever before. Centered around the charismatic\, airtight harmonies of Emily Miller and Zara Bode\, the record’s ten tracks are a mix of infectious originals and unexpected interpretations of everything from George Jones to Gram Parsons. Hints of jazz and ragtime flesh out the Sisters’ unique brand of classic country\, as Miller\, Bode\, and their remarkably versatile band conjure up a singular blend of heart\, humor\, and virtuosic musicianship. \nPurchase Tickets\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Fastball
DESCRIPTION:$50/All Tickets \nPurchase Tickets\n\nFormed in 1994 in Austin\, Texas\, Fastball combined a fondness for melodic\, Beatles-inspired pop with the alternative aesthetic of late-’90s mainstream rock. Guitarist/vocalist Miles Zuniga\, bassist/vocalist Tony Scalzo\, and drummer Joey Shuffield — all veterans of Austin’s underground rock scene — originally banded together under the name Magneto U.S.A. After signing with Hollywood Records\, the musicians changed their name to Fastball and released their debut album\, Make Your Mama Proud\, in 1996. The album demonstrated the band’s synthesis of modern flavor and bygone pop hooks\, a combination that would later launch Fastball into the mainstream. \nThe follow-up effort\, All the Pain Money Can Buy\, appeared in early 1998\, featuring a considerably tighter band and more pop flourishes. Although the bandmates were still working side jobs at the time of its release\, lead-off single “The Way” proved to be a meteoric hit\, topping the American rock charts for seven weeks while enjoying crossover success as a pop single. “Fire Escape” and the piano-fueled “Out of My Head” did similarly well\, and All the Pain Money Can Buy went platinum within six months of its release\, earning two Grammy nominations along the way. Fastball celebrated their success with a considerable amount of touring\, including shows alongside Marcy Playground and Everclear. \nThe Harsh Light of Day arrived in fall 2000\, featuring piano work by Billy Preston and an increasingly arty sound\, including the Top 40 hit “You’re an Ocean.” Fastball eventually left the Hollywood roster in favor of a new deal with Rykodisc. A retrospective compilation\, Painting the Corners: The Best of Fastball\, marked the band’s final release for Hollywood Records in 2002. Two years later\, they resurfaced with Keep Your Wig On\, having fully embraced their power pop roots with the help of co-producer Adam Schlesinger. The album strengthened Fastball’s work ethic\, with frontmen Zuniga and Scalzo writing together for the first time. That collaborative spirit helped fuel another album\, Little White Lies\, which appeared in 2009 to warm reviews. \nAfter several years of focusing on live work\, Fastball returned to the studio in 2015\, recording in their hometown of Austin. The project emerged in May 2017\, a self-released album titled Step into Light\, and the band supported it with an extensive tour of the United States and Canada. The following year\, Fastball celebrated the 20th anniversary of All the Pain Money Can Buy with an expanded edition of the 1998 album; they accompanied the reissue with a hometown concert in Austin\, Texas. \nMost recently\, in October 2019\, Fastball returned with The Help Machine\, an album produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos\, and in Sept 2021 and throughout 2022 have been releasing music exclusively thru Patreon. Their new album\, The Deep End\, was released on June 17\, 2022 and they have spent most of 2023 touring the country with Gin Blossoms\, Sugar Ray\, and Tonic. \nPurchase Tickets
