SUMMARY:The HillBenders present The Who's TOMMY
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets\n\n“Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball”  \nMaybe not your standard bluegrass lyric\, but a line known by all the world from the biggest rock opera of all time\, The Who’s Tommy.  50 years after its original release\, this classic of classic rock has now been fully realized as a full length bluegrass tribute featuring Springfield\, Missouri’s The HillBenders.  Conceived and produced by SXSW co-founder and longtime musician/producer Louis Jay Meyers\, this Bluegrass Opry brings a new perspective to Tommy while paying total respect to its creators. \nMeyers had been looking for the right band to pull off this high wire bluegrass approach for over twenty years and The HillBenders fit the bill.  With a perfect mix of acoustic musicianship and rock n roll showmanship\, The HillBenders bring Pete Townshend’s original vision to life in a new and exciting way. \nThe HillBenders are one of the few bluegrass groups that recognize their ability to bridge the gap between the common music consumer and the bluegrass genre. With their widely varied influences\, they are trying to bring to bluegrass songs that unify. \n“Covering The Who’s TOMMY in its entirety was a genius move” \n-Rolling Stone \n \nIf you like…\n\nGreensky Bluegrass\nRailroad Earth\nSteep Canyon Rangers\nThe Travelin’ McCourys\n\nYou’ll like The HillBenders. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Stephen Kellogg
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets\n\nOver the last decade\, New England native Stephen Kellogg has performed more than 1500 concerts around the world. His newest studio album\, “Objects in the Mirror”\, was recorded over the course of a single week in Nashville\, TN and features twelve songs that explore American life in 2018. His music has been described as ‘a beautiful display of—well\, his heart.” And as for the lyrics\, Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz can lately be heard singing their praises on his ‘Underwater Sunshine’ podcasts. \nWhether performing solo or with a band\, Kellogg’s soul and energy fuel one of the most dynamic shows anywhere. “With beautifully written songs and an engaging personality”\, The Michigan Daily reports\, “Kellogg appears as if he was born on stage\, taking the spotlight and using it to his advantage\, but never letting go of his connection with the audience.” A master storyteller in his prime\, he will spend much of 2019 where he’s always been at home…the road\, and we can’t wait for his visit to the Firehouse! \nTickets $30 in advance / $35 day of event (*Firehouse Members get 10% off!) \nCheck out his album on Spotify: \n \nIf you like…\n\nMatt Nathanson\nTony Lucca\nEric Hutchinson\nPat McGee Band\n\nYou’ll like Stephen Kellogg.

SUMMARY:First Night
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $22 \n*Firehouse members receive a 10% discount \n\nPurchase Tickets\n\n\nIt’s New Year’s Eve\, 1985.

SUMMARY:The Sweetback Sisters Annual Country Christmas Singalong Spectacular
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $30 for adults\, $20 for children \nPurchase Tickets\n\nChristmastime is here again and so are the Sweetback Sisters with their annual Country Christmas Singalong Spectacular! This wildly popular show (returning to Newburyport for the sixth year in a row) delivers a veritable explosion of yuletide splendor\, complete with trivia\, prizes\, and\, of course\, all the holiday tunes you know and love. Year-round\, the Sweetback Sisters and their band of brothers wow audiences with their precise\, family-style harmonies and blazing instrumentals. For this show\, the Queens of Christmastime bring their signature mix of modern nostalgia to a wide array of holiday classics and hidden gems that are sure to get even your scroogiest uncle in a festive spirit. Songbooks and plenty of warm fuzzy feelings provided. \nHailed as “brilliant” by NBC New York\, The Sweetback Sisters first emerged in 2007 with their debut EP\, ‘Bang!’ The collection earned them a record deal with stalwart indie label Signature Sounds\, and over the course of three ensuing albums\, the band built a dedicated following in the US and Europe and racked up a heap of critical acclaim. The New Yorker raved that the women are “strong singers who revel in close harmonies\,” while Sing Out! said that their music “bristles with the energy of the very best young American performers\,” and NPR praised them as “Americana darlings with a roadhouse edge.” With a live show that The Boston Globe described as “the perfect balance of sass\, sincerity and swing\,” the Sisters have performed everywhere from A Prairie Home Companion to Mountain Stage and graced festivals from coast to coast in addition to selling out theaters with their annual Country Christmas Singalong Spectacular. \nProceeds from this performance benefit the Christmas Tree Santas. The local non-profit has a holiday mission to spread hope and joy by giving free Christmas trees with lights and ornaments to low-income families. This year the Santas will give away over 2\,000 trees to individuals in need.  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Session Americana with Ali McGuirk
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets\n\nSession Americana (Boston) is a rock band in a tea cup\, or possibly a folk band in a whiskey bottle. This band/collective of talented musicians craft a musical experience unlike any other. On stage is a collapsible bar table wired with microphones\, a vintage suitcase recast as a kick drum\, an old Estey field organ\, a pre-war parlor guitar\, a mandocello and all of its smaller siblings\, a harmonica case fire damaged when Jack’s bar went up in flames and graffitied by Depeche Mode roadies\, and an assortment of other instruments that get passed around in this freewheeling modern hootenanny. The anything-could-happen feel of a Session show depends on craft that’s not accidental or easily won; they bring a kind of ease and genuineness to this timeless music\, sometimes presenting the latest batch of original songs\, sometimes reaching back into depths of the American “song bag”. \nCheck out their 2018 album\, Live at the Haybarn Theatre: \n \nIf you like…\n\nEilen Jewell\nLula Wiles\nJonathan Byrd\nThe Black Lillies\n\nYou’ll like Session Americana. \nCheck out Session Americana’s website here  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Full Moon Story Slam
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $20 \nPurchase Tickets\n\n2019 is the sixth year of our successful story slam program. In 2019\, The Actors Studio of Newburyport hosted four story slams\, all at the Studio’s black box theatre. Tonight’s Super Story Slam is the year’s finale in which we invite all of our 2019 Full Moon Story Slam winners to tell us one more tale – this time a longer story focused around the theme – Destiny. \nThe Story Slam is our chance to gather friends and share true stories from our lives. Simply put\, a story slam is a competition based on the art of storytelling. It puts a dual emphasis on content and performance\, encouraging storytellers to focus on what they’re saying and how they’re saying it. It is an exercise in crafting stories within a set time limit and it is great entertainment! Story slammers sign up on the night to tell a 5-minute short story on the evening’s theme. There are opportunities for one-minute stories too! \nThe three criteria for the judges:\n1.) The story has an arc: a beginning\, a point of change\, and a resolution.\n2.) Presentation of the story.\n3.) Time (no longer than five minutes) and connection to the them \n  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:The Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $26 for 1pm & 3pm show\, $28 for 7pm show* \n*All 7pm ticket holders are invited to a 6:00pm gala with hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar \nPurchase Tickets\n\nJoin us for this very special production of Methuen Ballet Ensemble’s The Nutcracker. Methuen Ballet Ensemble\, an established local ballet company under the artistic direction of Vanessa Rae Voter\, has staged The Nutcracker for over twenty-five years. \nPrincipal roles are performed by members of Methuen Ballet Ensemble\, whose experience totals over 150 years of classical ballet training under Ms. Voter’s tutelage. This year’s production will also feature a very special Guest Artist Mr. Alban Costello of Festival Ballet Providence in the roles of Snow King and Sugar Plum Cavalier. Ethiopian by birth\, Alban Birhanu Costello began his ballet education at the age of 8. While at Southold Dance Theatre under the directorship of Erica Fischbach\, Mr. Costello was awarded a full merit scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina School of the Arts at the age of 15. There he trained under Susan Jaffe\, Misha Tchoupakov\, Jared Redick\, Ilya Kozadayev and others while working with world renowned choreographers such as Goyo Montero and Helen Picket. Alban placed within the top three competitors at numerous Youth America Grand Prix competitions from Denver to New York. He also was chosen as one of two UNCSA representatives who attended the 2019 Prix de Lausanne Choreographic Workshop. Alban is looking forward to his first season with FBP. \nStudents of Voter’s School of Dance in Salem\, NH\, Helene Joy School of Dance in Middleton\, MA\, and Dance Concepts in Pelham\, NH perform all other roles. Dancers hail from Methuen\, Lawrence\, Haverhill\, Boxford\, N. Andover\, Georgetown\, Wenham\, Middleton\, and Newburyport\, MA as well as Salem\, Pelham\, Londonderry\, Plaistow\, Windham\, and Manchester\, NH. \nEach year\, this production has become more elaborate with stunning visual effects and custom-designed costumes. All performances include a giant growing Christmas tree\, a heavenly mist\, and an abundance of snowfall. Note: No chemicals will be used during this production. The mist effect will be achieved with the lighting design. \nHistory of the Methuen Ballet Ensemble: \nVanessa Rae Voter founded Methuen Ballet Ensemble in 1989 as a platform for promising students to showcase their talents\, performing both classical and modern ballets for the public. Her inspiration came from her years as a dancer with Boston Ballet. During the audition process for The Nutcracker\, those children not cast in roles touched her\, by their disappointment and tears. She vowed that someday she would have a company of her own\, where every child who auditioned would be guaranteed a part. She realized her dream and has been successfully staging The Nutcracker for over 20 years\, never having rejected an auditioning dancer. \nAbout Vanessa Rae Voter: \nVanessa Rae Voter is Artistic Director and Choreographer for Methuen Ballet Ensemble\, a semi-professional ballet company. She is also Director of the Classical Ballet program at Voter’s School of Dance\, founded by her mother\, Pam Voter\, in 1951. \nMs. Voter attended The Boston Conservatory. In addition to dancing with Boston Ballet\, she also performed with Ballet Dance Theatre of Boston. Her extensive training includes instruction from Marina Svetlova\, Madame Sulamith Messerer (former Prima Ballerina and teacher with the Bolshoi Ballet)\, E. Virginia Williams\, Violette Verdy\, Robert Pierce\, and David Howard. She has been a guest teacher for Dance Teachers Club of Boston and Dance Teachers Club of Brockton\, as well as serving on judge’s panels in both Boston and Brockton. She is a member of Dance Teachers Club of Boston and National Council of America and a member of Dance Masters of America. \nIn addition to teaching classical ballet on a full-time basis\, Ms. Voter has also choreographed all ballets performed by Methuen Ballet Ensemble. Included in her portfolio are: Swan Lake\, Peter and the Wolf\, Peter Pan\, Snow White\, The Wizard of Oz\, Alice in Wonderland\, The Fisherman & The Maiden\, Cinderella\, Sleeping Beauty\, Coppellia\, The Magic Flute\, Petrushka\, La Petite Fantastique\, and The Nutcracker. \nVisit Methuen Ballet Ensemble online at:\nmethuenballetensemble.com \nPurchase Tickets

Many observers regard us as the premier band playing in the traditional jazz style; we do regard ourselves as the “Keepers of the Flame”. \nIf you like the uplifting and soulful music of New Orleans you’ll love the sound of the New Black Eagle Jazz Band. The band has delighted audiences all over the world with their huge and eclectic repertoire of jazz from the 1920’s and 30’s. The group has a mature mastery of this great American music- from Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton to early Duke Ellington to Cole Porter; from blues to rags to popular songs of the era. \nThe band has performed extensively all across North America\, and has toured throughout Europe countless times. They have performed in New Orleans\, London\, Edinburgh\, Belfast and Toronto to name a few. In 2011 they opened the Newport Jazz Festival to a packed house. They have been featured in concert with many jazz legends including Doc Cheatham\, “Kid” Thomas\, Benny Waters\, Odetta and Milt Hinton\, and with symphony orchestras – the Boston Pops\, the Scottish National Orchestra \, the Baltimore Symphony to name a few. \nThe New Black Eagle Jazz Band has released over 40 recordings (including the Grammy-nominated “On the River”) and videos. Their music has been featured in Ken Burns’ documentaries and on NPR Radio. The band has also been a guest on The Prairie Home Companion show. \nThe band also follows the New Orleans tradition of playing private parties and other danceable events and enjoy being booked for such events. \n  \nTake a Listen!\n\n\n\nCheck out New Black Eagle Jazz Band’s Website here  \nPurchase Tickets\n\n
