SUMMARY:An Evening with John Gorka
DESCRIPTION:$35/Members\n$40/Non-Members \nPurchase Tickets\n\nFrom New Jersey\, John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. Though small\, Godfrey Daniels was and is one of the oldest and most venerable music institutions and has long been a hangout for music lovers and aspiring musicians. In the late 1970’s\, John was was one of these aspiring musicians. Although his academic coursework at Moravian College lay in Philosophy and History\, music began to offer paramount enticements. Soon he found himself living in the club’s basement and acting as resident MC and sound man\, encountering legendary folk troubadours like Canadian singer-songwriter Stan Rogers\, Eric Andersen\, Tom Paxton and Claudia Schmidt. Their brand of folk-inspired acoustic music inspired him\, and before long he was performing his own songs – mostly as an opener for visiting acts. Soon he started traveling to New York City\, where Jack Hardy’s legendary Fast Folk circle (a breeding ground for many a major singer-songwriter) became a powerful source of education and encouragement. Folk meccas like Texas’ Kerrville Folk Festival (where he won the New Folk Award in 1984) and Boston followed\, and his stunningly soulful baritone voice and original songwriting began turning heads. Those who had at one time inspired him – Suzanne Vega\, Bill Morrissey\, Nanci Griffith\, Christine Lavin\, Shawn Colvin – had become his peers. \nIn 1987\, the young Minnesota-based Red House Records caught wind of John’s talents and released his first album\, I Know\, to popular and critical acclaim. With unusual drive and focus\, John hit the ground running and\, when an offer came from Windham Hill’s Will Ackerman in 1989\, he signed with that label’s imprint\, High Street Records. He proceeded to record five albums with High Street over the next seven years: Land of the Bottom Line\, Jack’s Crows\, Temporary Road\, Out of the Valley and Between Five and Seven. His albums and his touring (over 150 nights a year at times) brought new accolades for his craft. His rich multifaceted songs full of depth\, beauty and emotion gained increasing attention from critics and audiences across the country\, as well as in Europe where his tours led him through Italy\, Belgium\, Scotland\, Ireland\, Holland\, Switzerland and Germany. He also started sharing tours with many notable friends—Nanci Griffith and Mary Chapin Carpenter among them. All this brought his music to an ever-widening audience. His video for the single “When She Kisses Me” found a long-term rotation on VH-1’s “Current Country\,” as well as on CMT and the Nashville Network. \nIn 1998\, after five successful recordings and seven years at Windham Hill/High Street\, John felt the need for a change and decided to return to his musical roots at Red House Records. The choice was driven\, in part\, by the artistic integrity that the label represents in an industry where the business of music too often takes precedence. The 1998 release After Yesterday marked a decidedly different attitude towards making music for John\, and his next release The Company You Keep held fast to his tradition of fine songwriting\, yet moved forward down new avenues. Its fourteen songs displays John’s creative use of lyrics and attention to detail. Andy Stochansky played drums and shared production credits with John and Rob Genadek. Ani DiFranco\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Lucy Kaplansky and Patty Larkin contributed stellar guitar work and vocals to this fan favorite. Old Futures Gone was informed by his life as husband and father of two young children and also contained the colorful experience of many hard years on the road. Writing in the Margins followed in 2006 and was an engaging collection of sweet and serious songs that spanned many musical genres—folk\, pop\, country and soul—and featured guest vocalists Nanci Griffith\, Lucy Kaplansky and Alice Peacock. Now with this\, his 11th studio album\, he returns to his roots with So Dark You See\, his most compelling and traditional album to date. \nIn addition to his 11 critically acclaimed albums\, John released a collector’s edition box featuring a hi-definition DVD and companion CD called The Gypsy Life. Windham Hill also released a collection of John’s greatest hits from the label called Pure John Gorka. In 2010\, he also released an album with his friends and Red House label-mates Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson under the name Red Horse. Getting high praise from critics and fans alike\, it landed on the Billboard Folk Charts and was one of the most played albums on folk radio. \nMany well known artists have recorded and/or performed John Gorka songs\, including Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Nanci Griffith\, Mary Black and Maura O’Connell. John has graced the stage of Austin City Limits\, Mountain Stage\, etown and has appeared on CNN. His new song “Where No Monuments Stand” is featured in the upcoming documentary Every War Has Two Losers\, about activist and Oregon Poet Laureate William Stafford (1914-1993). \nJohn Gorka lives in Minnesota and when not on the road\, he enjoys spending time with his wife and children. He continues to tour\, playing festivals\, theaters and clubs all over North America and Europe. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:The Suitcase Junket
DESCRIPTION:$18/Members\n$20/Non-Members \nPurchase Tickets\n\n“A master of musical imagination” NPR World Cafe \n“The overall sound lands somewhere between the Avett Brothers and early\, dirty Black Keys. There is a Tom Waits vibe in the fuzzy megaphone reverb mic\, and something ancient\, near tribal\, in his whistles and moans” The Boston Globe \nThe Suitcase Junket is multi instrumentalist Matthew Lorenz. Solitary on stage and on the road\, his mind is crowded with characters\, narratives\, voices\, imagery\, sounds as wide and varied as mountain throat singers and roadhouse juke boxes\, plus newsreels of the planet’s destruction and salvage. With his 2020 release\, The End is New\, Lorenzs grand vision for the song overrides the how of it. The End is New is Lorenz’s sixth full length album as The Suitcase Junket\, his first for Renew Records/BMG. \nThe End is New was produced by trusted friend\, producer Steve Berlin of Los Lobos\, who produced The Suitcase Junket’s acclaimed 2018 release\, Mean Dog Trampoline. “I told Steve I wanted to make a doom folk record\,” says Lorenz. “That is what I had started calling my music when people asked. He was game. Neither of us knew quite what that meant at the time\, but I think we found out with The End is New. There is a heavy mix of hope and desperation in the sound and lyrically I was trying to be a mirror to society using truth\, myth\, confessions and stories.” \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Duke Robillard Band
DESCRIPTION:$25/Members\n$30/Non-Members \nPurchase Tickets\n\n\nWhether it’s a song\, a style\, an idiom or an image\, Duke Robillard will render it with mastery\, power\, nuance and an unerring grasp of its essence. \nBorn Michael John Robillard on October 4\, 1948\, in Woonsocket\, R.I.\, Duke has carved out one of blues’ most illustrious legacies\, while also trodding some lofty related territories as a guitarist\, vocalist\, songwriter\, bandleader\, studio sideman\, producer\, label operator and educator. \nAfter showing an early affinity for music and guitar\, he founded Roomful Of Blues with pianist Al Copley in Westerly\, R.I.\, in 1967. By adding horns\, Roomful announced itself emphatically as the prototypical jump blues band\, and became a New England legend and a fixture beyond\, as did Duke himself. \nHis unsurpassed mastery of the guitar style of T-Bone Walker (later crystallized memorably in his 2004 release “Blue Mood”) was deservedly heralded\, but his breadth was also head-turning – from swing\, standards and ballads to rockers\, gutbucket Chicago blues and rockabilly. \nBy the time Duke left Roomful after a dozen years\, he was firmly established in the upper echelon of contemporary blues guitarists. Duke went from Roomful to a stint with rockabilly revivalist Robert Gordon and then to the first iteration of the Legendary Blues Band\, composed primarily of then-recent Muddy Waters sidemen. \nThe Duke Robillard Band debuted in 1981\, re-emerging as The Pleasure Kings with their eponymous 1984 album on Rounder. It and its sequel\, “Too Hot To Handle\,” burnished Duke’s songwriting portfolio; the 1987 jazz outing “Swing” (with saxophonist Scott Hamilton) underscored his versatility and remains a highlight. \nContinuing his solo career\, Duke replaced Jimmie Vaughan with The Fabulous Thunderbirds in 1990. He cut his own much-awaited straight blues album “Duke’s Blues” in 1993 for Canadian imprint Stony Plain\, leading eventually to a rewarding\, continuing and prolific alliance\, along with releases during the ensuing years on Point Blank/Virgin and Shanachie\, as well as instructional videos. He has also launched his own labels with Jesse Finkelstein\, Blue Duchess/Shining Stone. \nDuke’s prolificity has included producing albums by Billy Boy Arnold\, Joe Louis Walker\, Rosco Gordon\, Jimmy Witherspoon and Jay McShann\, Zuzu Bollin\, Billy Price and Otis Clay\, Sunny Crownover\, Bryan Lee and Al Basile as well as recording two collaborations with Herb Ellis\, a pairing with his successor in Roomful\, Ronnie Earl\, a seat in the New Guitar Summit with J. Geils and Gerry Beaudoin\, additional studio credits with Bob Dylan (the well-regarded 1997 “Time Out Of Mind”)\, Ruth Brown\, Johnny Adams\, Pinetop Perkins\, Snooky Pryor\, Al Copley\, Todd Sharpville and Tony Z\, and touring with Tom Waits in 2006. \nDuke’s resume is decorated with Grammy nominations\, Handy Awards and Blues Music Awards\, and other honors for his artistry\, recordings and productions within the United States and internationally. On his latest release\, “Duke Robillard and his Dames of Rhythm” on M.C. Records\, he wields an acoustic archtop and joins six thrushes for evocative and enjoyable renditions of 1920s and 1930s swing tunes; it’s a worthy successor to his 2016 BMA-winning “The Acoustic Blues And Roots Of Duke Robillard.” \nDuke remains based in Rhode Island and a whirlwind as a musician\, producer\, gardener and photographer. But wait\, there’s more: he’s now creating fine art abstract paintings\, too! At this point for Duke\, versatility and mastery should come as anything but a surprise; it just means more richness in a superlative career for us to celebrate. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:BLKBOK
DESCRIPTION:$18/Members\n$20/Non-Members \nPurchase Tickets\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit’s inner-city\, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson IIl)\, grew up in a music-filled house. While his parents and siblings were all musically inclined little Charles could always be found walking his chubby fingers up and down the piano keys. His Mom had no choice but to nurture her baby’s keyboard obsession and by the time he was 8\, BLKBOK was an acclaimed piano prodigy\, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. \nWhen it came to music\, most of the kids he grew up with pursued hip-hop adopting rapper names. However\, it’s no coincidence that Charles chose the name BLKBOK\, which echoes that of one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time. The tag is also an apt reflection of the elements that have contributed to the artist’s identity and symbolizes his colorful journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed\, neo-classical debut album Black Book\, and various Mixtape projects and collaborations. \nBLKBOK is no stranger to the industry grind\, having hit the road throughout his career as a lead pianist or musical director with artists including Rihanna\, Justin Timberlake\, Demi Lovato\, Cirque Du Soleil\, John Mayer and more. BLKBOK’s explosive and immersive live music performances engage his audience with his incredible talent and channels his experience from sharing the stage with the World’s biggest performers. \nBLKBOK’s critically-acclaimed debut album Black Book\, served as a founding cornerstone at the Juneteenth Foundation’s Freedom Concert. His first Mixtape release\, (VRARI\, and current Mixtape project Angels Watching Over Me\, with world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee\, illustrate the innovative and disruptive musical landscape that is BLKBOK. \nPurchase Tickets

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
