SUMMARY:Soggy Po Boys - Album Release
DESCRIPTION:$15/Member \n$18/Non-Member \n  \nSoggy Po Boys return for an epic Album Release Tour! \n  \nPurchase Tickets\n\nThis fall\, New Orleans jazz exponents The Soggy Po Boys will celebrate the release of their 6th\nfull-length album\, Leave the Light On\, in a series of not-to-be-missed release shows around the\nNortheast.\nThe Po Boys formed in 2012 to shake the walls of a local club on a Fat Tuesday but have honed\ntheir sound and become more than a Mardi Gras centerpiece. Exploring the vast musical\ntraditions of New Orleans and expanding their repertoire to look beyond NOLA jazz\, the band\nperforms traditional Caribbean tunes (it’s been said that New Orleans is the northernmost city in\nthe Caribbean)\, as well as Meters funk\, soul\, and brass band / street beat music.\nThe latest record captures the 7-piece band’s mission of embracing tradition without becoming a\nmuseum piece. By blending traditional and original songs\, the album embraces themes of joy\,\nfrustration\, loneliness\, love\, and sadness\, and explores these feelings with the group’s trademark\nhumorous sincerity.\nLeave the Light On was recorded at Acadia Recording Company in Portland\, Maine where it was\ntracked by Jason Phelps. Phelps helped to sculpt the sounds and provided a perfect environment\nto capture the essence of what the band loves most: playing live. The result is music that is very\nmuch grounded in the sonic liminal space that the Po Boys occupy best–happy-ish\, live-ish\,\nnew-ish\, and bull-ish.\n“These guys have done their homework\, worked it out on the bandstand and put in the hours in\nthe studio. It all adds up to a party you can bring with you when you want to treat your friends to\na real good time.” -Ben Schenck of New Orleans’ Panorama Jazz Band\n“There’s no retro to their sound\, no putting on airs\, this is living music respectful of the source\,\nplayed by consummate professionals.” -Syncopated Times \n  \nPurchase Tickets\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:An Evening with Tom Rush
DESCRIPTION:$50 / All Tickets \n*Membership Comps are NOT applicable to this event \n  \nPurchase Tickets\n\n  \nTom Rush is a gifted musician and performer\, whose shows offer a musical celebration…a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been\, can be\, and will become. His distinctive guitar style\, wry humor and warm\, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling\, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues \nRush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s\, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone\, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes\, but also one of my main influences.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences. Rush has long championed emerging artists. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell\, Jackson Browne and James Taylor\, and in more recent years his Club 47 concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own reputations. \nTom Rush began his musical career in the early ’60s playing the Boston-area clubs while a Harvard student. The Club 47 was the flagship of the coffee house fleet\, and he was soon holding down a weekly spot there\, learning from the legendary artists who came to play\, honing his skills and growing into his talent. He had released two albums by the time he graduated. \nRush displayed then\, as he does today\, an uncanny knack for finding wonderful songs\, and writing his own – many of which have become classics re-interpreted by new generations.\n(It is testimony to the universality of his appeal that his songs have been folk hits\, country hits\, heavy metal and rap hits.) Signed by Elektra in 1965\, Rush made three albums for them\, culminating in The Circle Game\, which\, according to Rolling Stone\, ushered in the singer/songwriter era. \nIn the early ’70s\, folk turned to folk-rock\, and Rush\, ever adaptable\, saw more room to stretch out. Recording now for Columbia\, he toured tirelessly with a five man band\, playing concerts across the country. Endless promotional tours\, interviews\, television appearances\, and recording sessions added up to five very successful but exhausting years\, after which Tom decided to take a break and “recharge” his creative side at his New Hampshire farm. \nRush returned with a splash in 1981\, selling out Boston’s prestigious Symphony Hall in advance. Time off had not only rekindled Rush’s love of music\, it had re-ignited music audiences’ love of Rush. \nHe instinctively knew that his listeners were interested in both the old and the new\, and set out to create a musical forum like the Club 47 of the early sixties to allow artists and newcomers to share the same stage. In 1982\, he tried it out at Symphony Hall. The show was such a hit it became an annual event\, growing to fill two\, then three nights\, and the Club 47 series was born. Crafting concerts that combined well known artists such as Bonnie Raitt or Emmylou Harris with (then) unknowns like Alison Krauss or Mark O’ Connor\, Rush took the show on the road. From the ’80s to the present day\, Club 47 events have filled the nation’s finest halls to rave reviews\, and have been broadcast as national specials on PBS and NPR. \nIn 1999\, Columbia/Legacy released a Tom Rush retrospective album that covers his recorded musical history from 1962 to the present\, including tracks recorded for Columbia\, Elektra\, Prestige and his independent years. Entitled “The Very Best of Tom Rush: No Regrets”\, the 17-track compilation includes as a bonus a brand new Tom Rush composition\, “River Song\,” which features vocal contributions from Grammy winners Shawn Colvin and Marc Cohn. \nA live CD\, “Trolling for Owls” released in 2003 and published by Tom’s NIGHTLIGHT RECORDINGS\, captures Tom’s complete performance and includes\, for the first time\, some of the spoken stories that have endeared him to audiences. \n“How I Play (some of) My Favorite Songs”\, a DVD released in 2005 by Homespun Tapes. It shows how he plays ten of the memorable songs and guitar arrangements that have long made him one of America’s most beloved performers. \nIn 2009\, Tom recorded his first studio CD in 35 years. Recorded in Nashville\, “What I Know” was produced by Tom’s long-time friend Jim Rooney and includes original Tom Rush material\, as well as harmonies by Emmylou Harris\, Bonnie Bramlett and Nanci Griffith. \nToday\, Tom Rush lives in New Hampshire when he’s not touring. His voice has grown even richer and more melodic with training\, and his music\, like a fine wine\, has matured and ripened in the blending of traditional and modern influences. He’s doing what he loves\, and what audiences love him for: writing and playing …passionately\, tenderly…knitting together the musical traditions and talents of our times  \n  \nPurchase Tickets

Recording now for Columbia\, he toured tirelessly with a five man band\, playing concerts across the country. Endless promotional tours\, interviews\, television appearances\, and recording sessions added up to five very successful but exhausting years\, after which Tom decided to take a break and “recharge” his creative side at his New Hampshire farm. \nRush returned with a splash in 1981\, selling out Boston’s prestigious Symphony Hall in advance. Time off had not only rekindled Rush’s love of music\, it had re-ignited music audiences’ love of Rush. \nHe instinctively knew that his listeners were interested in both the old and the new\, and set out to create a musical forum like the Club 47 of the early sixties to allow artists and newcomers to share the same stage. In 1982\, he tried it out at Symphony Hall. The show was such a hit it became an annual event\, growing to fill two\, then three nights\, and the Club 47 series was born. Crafting concerts that combined well known artists such as Bonnie Raitt or Emmylou Harris with (then) unknowns like Alison Krauss or Mark O’ Connor\, Rush took the show on the road. From the ’80s to the present day\, Club 47 events have filled the nation’s finest halls to rave reviews\, and have been broadcast as national specials on PBS and NPR. \nIn 1999\, Columbia/Legacy released a Tom Rush retrospective album that covers his recorded musical history from 1962 to the present\, including tracks recorded for Columbia\, Elektra\, Prestige and his independent years. Entitled “The Very Best of Tom Rush: No Regrets”\, the 17-track compilation includes as a bonus a brand new Tom Rush composition\, “River Song\,” which features vocal contributions from Grammy winners Shawn Colvin and Marc Cohn. \nA live CD\, “Trolling for Owls” released in 2003 and published by Tom’s NIGHTLIGHT RECORDINGS\, captures Tom’s complete performance and includes\, for the first time\, some of the spoken stories that have endeared him to audiences. \n“How I Play (some of) My Favorite Songs”\, a DVD released in 2005 by Homespun Tapes. It shows how he plays ten of the memorable songs and guitar arrangements that have long made him one of America’s most beloved performers. \nIn 2009\, Tom recorded his first studio CD in 35 years. Recorded in Nashville\, “What I Know” was produced by Tom’s long-time friend Jim Rooney and includes original Tom Rush material\, as well as harmonies by Emmylou Harris\, Bonnie Bramlett and Nanci Griffith. \nToday\, Tom Rush lives in New Hampshire when he’s not touring. His voice has grown even richer and more melodic with training\, and his music\, like a fine wine\, has matured and ripened in the blending of traditional and modern influences. He’s doing what he loves\, and what audiences love him for: writing and playing …passionately\, tenderly…knitting together the musical traditions and talents of our times  \n  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Hayley Reardon
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts Presents Hayley Reardon\n$18\n*This event qualifies for all p/p member discounts \nThe first in our Singer/Songwriter Series\, Hayley returns to the Arakelian Stage for an intimate evening of music. \nPurchase Tickets\n\nHayley Reardon is a critically acclaimed folk-pop singer and songwriter\, and a storyteller in the truest sense of the word. Raised in a coastal Massachusetts town north of Boston\, Reardon dove head first into music at the young age of 15\, and has dedicated nearly half of her life to writing\, recording and performing music around the world. The artist’s songs have been featured on multiple Spotify editorial playlists and Apple Music playlists\, with over 7 million streams on Apple Music alone. She has shared the stage with renowned artists including Lori McKenna\, Rodney Crowell and Anaïs Mitchell\, among others.  \nReardon’s creative journey thus far has been distinctly international. Carrying her songs and stories all over the globe\, she has performed hundreds upon hundreds of shows in over 13 countries – gathering experiences\, inspiration and soulful connections. Reardon’s travels include a six-month artist-in-residency stay in Dachau\, Germany in 2021. Her ever-deepening music carries a lyrical and melodic weight beyond her years\, being described as “brilliantly moving folk/pop with a lyrical depth and soul” (Performer Magazine) and “a melancholy little masterpiece” (American Songwriter Magazine). No Depression writes “Reardon is truly a treasure.”  \nThe past year has been one of artistic abundance and growth for Reardon. Her EP\, Changes\, which was recorded in Barcelona with renowned Spanish guitarist Pau Figueres as producer and collaborator\, released in July 2023. The title track features an original bilingual duet with Catalan sensation Judit Neddermann\, with whom Reardon formed a deep musical bond during her time in Spain and who appears on the EP courtesy of Universal Music Spain. Along with her own releases\, Reardon co-wrote and sings on Seth Glier’s haunting new single My Body Remembers. She was also nominated as 2023 Vocalist of the Year by the Boston Music Awards.  \nAt the start of 2024\, Reardon released her first live concert album\, “Live at Starseed Studios”. The project features 13 tracks from Reardon’s songbook with special acoustic arrangements by Pau Figueres on flamenco guitar and Arnau Figueres on bass. Reardon also recently returned to Spain to record new music with the Figueres brothers at The Sound of Wood studio near Barcelona. According to Reardon\, her upcoming seven-song project\, to be released in August 2024\, takes a more organic approach with vocals and instrumentation tracked live with a five-piece band. Her extensive travels\, recent move back to the States\, and regrounding in a place close to her roots has given the songwriter much to contemplate. In “The Way I Am”\, an upcoming single from the project\, Reardon reflects\, “I needed all this space just to feel the ache that has always been under everything.” These new songs explore uncharted emotional depths for an artist who is already known for her capacity to access tenderness. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Steve Forbert
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts presents the first in our 2025 Folk/Americana Series\,  Steve Forbert! \nPurchase Tickets\n\n$30 / Non-Members \n$27 / Members \n*Firehouse p/p event \n  \nSteve Forbert is a true American treasure\, a fact underscored by his 21st album\, Daylight Savings Time. Like all his albums of original songs\, it’s suffused with what venerated rock journalist Robert Christgau discerned as his “omnivorously observant” songwriting\, marked by Steve’s gift for finding the deeper meaning and magic within the spectrum of everyday moments\, as well as his abundant melodic and poetic enchantment. \nAs Forbert approaches the milestone of his 70th birthday\, Daylight Savings Time contemplates and celebrates the proverbial ‘extra hour of daylight’ that comes with the time change. “Yeah to chirping crickets and to daylight savings time!” he sings on the album’s first single “Sound Existence\,” “The best ain’t yet to come\, but you could still get by just fine.” \nSteve arrived in New York City from his Meridian\, Mississippi hometown in 1976. He slotted seamlessly into the “new folk” revival in such Manhattan clubs as Folk City\, The Bitter End\, and Kenny’s Castaways while taking the stage at CBGB\, ground zero of the burgeoning new wave/punk movement. He also busked on the streets of Greenwich Village and in the elegant confines of Grand Central Station. \nHe quickly won a major label deal with Nemperor/CBS Records and released his heralded debut\, Alive on Arrival\, in 1978. His next album\, Jackrabbit Slim\, released in 1979\, brought wider renown to Forbert with its #11 pop chart hit “Romeo’s Tune.” It provided the stature for his troubadour existence\, which has kept him active ever since as “a striking performer\, very much worth seeing and hearing\,” according to the New York Times.  \n  \nMembers Early Access – Wednesday\, December 11 \nPublic Ticket Access – Friday\, December 13 \n  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Antje Duvekot & Vance Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts Presents: Antje Duvekot and Vance Gilbert! \n$30 / All Tickets \nPurchase Tickets\n\n  \n \n  \nOriginally born in Germany and transplanted to the US as a young teen\, Antje Duvekot began to hone her observational skills through a lens of biculturalism when she picked up a guitar during that move. Some years later\, the confessional folk of Dar Williams and Ani DiFranco gave her license to share her observations\, no matter how personal\, in her first emerging songs. She has never let go of that tenet of vulnerability. “Duvekot has gotten hotter\, faster than any local songwriter in recent memory. Her songs feel at once fresh faced and firmly rooted\, driven by the whispery sensuality of her voice. She believes in the redemptive power of the shared secret; and is utterly unafraid to mine the darkest corners of her life for songs that turn fear into resilience and isolation into community.” The Boston Globe \n  \nConsidered by many to be an integral part of the national folk scene – and one of the originators of the finally recognized R&B/Folk/Jazz crossover-sub-genre – this Boston-based stalwart was born and raised in\nthe Philadelphia area. In 1992\, Shawn Colvin invited him to be special guest on her Fat City tour. “With the voice of an angel\, the wit of a devil\, and the guitar playing of a god…”\, swooned The Fort Worth Star Telegram about one of those shows. Vance’s newest album\, “The Mother Of Trouble”\, features Grammy winner Lori McKenna on background vocals\, Juno award recipient and Bonnie Raitt Grammy hit song co-writer Joey Landreth on guitars\, and master mandolinist Joe K. Walsh\, among others. Gilbert has recorded 14 albums to date\, including 5 for Philo/Rounder Records. He’s been the opener of choice for artists as varied as Arlo Guthrie\, Anita Baker\, The Milk Carton Kids\, and Southside Johnny\, and the mid 2000s found Gilbert opening 150+ shows for comic legend George Carlin! He’s currently the regular opener for Mad About You/Stranger Things star Paul Reiser’s stand-up shows\, and he maintains his own busy acoustic music touring schedule. \n \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Cimarron 615
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts presents… \nCimarron 615\n  \n$55 / All Tickets \nPurchase Tickets\n\n  \nThe quartet — just releasing its second\, self-titled album — is a hall of fame-caliber assemblage\, with credits that look like a who’s-who of Americana\, country and rock history. “We’ve all been around a long time and done a lot of work — and a lot of it together\,” notes drummer Rick Lonow. “There’s history here.” \nWhere the four musicians intersect is via the famed country-rock band Poco. Lonow and Jack Sundrud were its longtime rhythm section until the band ceased when co-founder Rusty Young died in 2021. Michael Webb played in the band for eight years\, while Ronnie Guilbeau co-wrote Poco’s 1989 Top 20 single “Call It Love” with Lonow. Webb and Sundrud co-produced Poco’s All Fired Up album in 2013\, and Lonow\, Webb and Sundrud played on Young’s 2017 solo album\, Waitin’ For the Sun. \nThen there are the individual credits\, which include many path-crossings with each other over the years. Lonow’s discography includes albums for Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash\, Loretta Lynn\, Nanci Griffith\, “Cowboy” Jack Clement\, Ryan Bingham and many more\, has toured with the Bellamy Brothers\, and was part of the all-star Burrito Deluxe. Webb played on iconic albums by Chris Stapleton\, John Prine\, Mark Germino and others\, as well as hitting the road with John Fogerty and Hank Williams\, Jr.; he was also part of the all-star Brooklyn Cowboys. Sundrud played with Dickie Betts\, Vince Gill\, and Nicolette Larson\, and formed the group Great Plains. And Guilbeau — who\, like Sundrud\, worked in the California country-rock scene before moving to Nashville — was part of the bands Palomino Road and GYG. \nCimarron 615 came to be after Young’s death\, when Blue Elan Records chief Kirk Pasich organized a tribute concert and album and brought Sundrud\, Webb and Lonow together in Los Angeles as part of a house band for several projects – and heard the potential for more. Guilbeau rounded out the line-up in 2023. \n \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Barrence Whitfield & Sal Baglio present The Joyful Noise Caravan & Medicine Show
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts Presents… \n \nBarrence Whitfield & Sal Baglio – The Joyful Noise Caravan & Medicine Show\nfeaturing \nAnthony Geraci keyboards\, Henley Douglas Jr saxophone\, Wolf Ginandes bass & Seth Pappas drums \n  \nPurchase Tickets\n\n  \nR&B howler Barrence Whitfield is a man who lives for the era when rhythm & blues and rock & roll walke hand in hand\, and his revved-up music and over-the-top vocal style make him one of the wildest frontmen of his time. A frantic soul shouter in the spirit of \, \, and Don Covay\, Whitfield and his band earned a poten cult following after the release of their self-titled debut album in 1984. 1985’s Dig Yourself and 1987 Ow! Ow! Ow! expanded on its energy. Whitfield sat out most of the 2000s\, but 2012’s Dig Thy Savage Sou proved he still had the goods\, and 2018’s Soul Flowers of Titan and 2023’s Glory showed his command of party-starting soul was still potent. As a singer\, guitarist and composer\, Sal Baglio has touched all the bases that have rounded out a successful musical career. But with his recent work as a solo artist\, Baglio embarks upon a new path that looks backward in the most delightful way. Baglio’s music and solo performances dial up a past that is easily imagined in a less-distracted age where music bursts boldly out of a car’s AM radio on a summer drive or floats in the imagination of a young solitary artist learning to strum his first guit New paths or old\, Baglio projects a welcome sense of place\, family and friends\, a“pocketfull of memories” where streets named London and Liverpool strike more than mere fancy allusions to the Beatles\, the Kinks and others. They set fire in the mind of a young artist that will forever remain in his person \n \n  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Darlin' Corey with Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts presents… \nDarlin’ Corey with Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem\n$25 / All Tickets \nPurchase Tickets\n\nDarlin’ Corey\nDarlin’ Corey features the singing and playing of three accomplished musicians of the thriving music scene of Portland\, ME. Award winning fiddler and singer Erica Brown on fiddle\, guitar\, vocals\, notable songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matt Shipman on guitar\, vocals\, mandolin\, bouzouki\, banjo and Portland’s favorite bass player Kris Day\, who has also toured with legends like Link Wray\, Dale Hawkins\, Ronnie Dawson and Joe Clay. \nTheir music is a diverse and unique blend of folk with influences from bluegrass and old time music. Drawing on these threads of North American folk music\, their elegant harmonies are the beating heart of their sound\, in both their original music and the traditional old time\, bluegrass and New England influenced music they regularly showcase. In Darlin’ Corey’s singing and playing\, you can feel the many years of dedication to these celebrated musical traditions.  \nTogether they create an engaging performance of thoughtful originals\, traditional songs and tunes\, and songs that influenced them along the way. Erica Brown’s fiddle-playing is at turns virtuosic and completely unpretentious. Matt Shipman is an ideal counterpart as his versatility on a dizzying array of stringed instruments (guitar\, Irish bouzouki\, 5-string banjo\, mandolin) blend seamlessly\, never timid or overpowering. Kris Day holds it all together with his solid bass playing. \n \nRani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem\nHarmony\, rhythm\, indelible songs – these are the hallmarks of Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem\, the New England based folk quartet now in its 20th year. From the Newport Folk Festival to California World Music Festival and beyond\, this band’s steadfast brew of wit\, camaraderie\, and musicality leaves audiences everywhere humming and hopeful\, spirits renewed. Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem are Rani Arbo (fiddle\, guitar)\, Andrew Kinsey (bass\, banjo\, ukulele)\, Anand Nayak (electric and acoustic guitars) and Scott Kessel (percussion). At the helm\, Arbo is “blessed with an unmistakable voice\, both light and sultry\, with a hint of tremolo and smoke” (Acoustic Guitar). With Kinsey and Nayak’s vibrant baritones and Kessel’s resonant bass\, the band’s signature lockstep harmonies can shake the rafters or hush the room. Arbo’s fiddle is sweet and sinewy\, while Nayak’s guitar stretches across genre lines. Kinsey’s old-time bass anchors the deep groove of Kessel’s homemade percussion kit — a truly funky collection of cardboard boxes\, tin cans\, caulk tubes\, packing-tape tambourines\, bottle-cap rattles\, Mongolian jaw harps\, and a vinyl suitcase.  \n \nPurchase Tickets
