SUMMARY:Rayland Baxter
DESCRIPTION:w/ special guest Sugadaisy\n\nMember: $60 – Rows A-D/$50 – Rows E-K/$40 – Rows L-O\nNon-Member: $65 – Rows A-D/$55 – Rows E-K/$45 – Rows L-O \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nFor the making of his fourth album If I Were a Butterfly\, Rayland Baxter holed up for over a year at a former rubber-band factory turned studio in the Kentucky countryside—a seemingly humble environment that proved to be something of a wonderland. “I spent that year living in a barn with the squirrels and the birds\, on my own most of the time\, and I discovered so much about music and how to create it\,” says the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter. “Instead of going into a studio with a producer for two weeks\, I just waited for the record to build itself. I’d get up and go outside\, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I’d had three months ago\, and suddenly a song I’d been working on would make sense. That’s how the whole album came to be.” \nThe follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Wide Awake\, If I Were a Butterfly finds Baxter co-producing alongside Tim O’Sullivan (Grace Potter\, The Head and the Heart) and Kai Welch (Molly Tuttle\, Sierra Hull)\, slowly piecing together the album’s patchwork of lush psychedelia and Beatlesesque pop. In addition to working at Thunder Sound (the Kentucky studio he called home for months on end)\, Baxter recorded in California\, Texas\, Tennessee\, and Washington\, enlisting a remarkable lineup of musicians: Shakey Graves\, Lennon Stella\, several members of Cage the Elephant\, Zac Cockrell of Alabama Shakes\, Morning Teleportation’s Travis Goodwin\, and legendary Motown drummer Miss Bobbye Hall\, among many others. In an especially meaningful turn\, two of the album’s tracks feature the elegant pedal steel work of his father\, Bucky Baxter (a musician who performed with Bob Dylan and who passed away in May 2020). Thanks to the extraordinary care and ingenuity behind its creation\, If I Were a Butterfly arrives as a work of rarefied magic\, capable of stirring up immense feeling while leaving the listener happily wonderstruck. \nBaxter’s debut release as a producer\, If I Were a Butterfly bears a dazzling unpredictability that has much to do with his limitless imagination as a collector and collagist of sound. “Sometimes the bullfrogs in the pond outside would pulse in a certain tempo and I’d apply that to a song\, or I’d hear a bird chirping and it would inspire me to add harmonica in a particular place\,” he says. “I could be walking around this massive building in the middle of the night and the air-conditioning would turn on\, and it’d give me the idea to include a synth part that holds a similar note. I’d wait for those moments to happen and whenever I tried to force anything\, the music usually rejected it.” \nA perfect introduction to If I Were a Butterfly’s elaborate sonic world\, the album-opening title track begins with a recording of a Baxter singing at age four\, then drifts into a delicately sprawling reverie ornamented with so many lovely details (lavish flute and cello melodies\, radiant horns\, the hypnotic harmonies of Lennon Stella and Baxter’s girlfriend\, Sophia Rose). “I liked the idea of the first voice on the record being me as a little kid\, not knowing where I’d be today\,” notes Baxter\, who embedded newly unearthed audio clips of himself and his older sister Brooke all throughout the album. Graced with the combustible guitar work of his bandmate Barney Cortez\, “Billy Goat” kicks up a potent tension with its restless grooves and hot-tempered gang vocals. “It’s a breakup song about being with someone who’s on a different life path—one side wants to influence the other\, and inevitably you part ways\,” says Baxter. From there\, the album takes on a feverish momentum with “Rubberband Man\,” a delightfully frenzied track channeling a wild and giddy freedom. “There’s rubber bands all over the property at Thunder Sound—in the earth\, in the concrete\, used as insulation for the studio\,” says Baxter. “I took a mishmash of images in my head and it turned into a song about staying flexible\, rolling with the punches.” \nIn its searching reflection on love and loss and striving for transcendence\, If I Were a Butterfly reaches a quietly glorious intensity on “Tadpole”: a piano ballad threaded with childhood memories at turns oddly tender (catching frogs and crawfish in a nearby toxic creek) and nightmarish (hearing the gunshot when an across-the-street neighbor took her own life). And on “My Argentina\,” If I Were a Butterfly closes out with a piano-driven and painfully raw outpouring\, its starkness intermittently broken by soulful strings and gospel-esque harmonies. “One time at the studio I stayed up all night and played that song maybe 100 times; we ended up using the last take\, which was recorded at about five in the morning\,” says Baxter. “It’s a song that represents the thoughts one might have about a perfect love life\, and I love how it ends the album in a big angelic cloud of reverb.” \nFor Baxter\, the act of self-producing such a sonically and emotionally expansive body of work proved both exhilarating and arduous. “It really wore me out to spend all that time alone at the studio\, editing the hell out of this record; my heart definitely suffered\,” he says. “But I also had the guidance of my dad\, who was in my dreams all the time—if I was moving too fast\, I’d hear him telling me to slow down.” Another profound influence on the album-making process: the 2018 deaths of Baxter’s close friends Billy Swayze (a musician whose parents owned the rubber band company that became Thunder Sound) and Tiger Merritt (the vocalist/guitarist for Morning Teleportation\, who worked with Swayze in constructing the studio). “Billy and Tiger had been going up there since 2015\, and finally they turned it into a legit recording studio\,” he says. “It’s a very special place to me\, so they’re two of the four angels I decided to dedicate this record to.” \nEven in its most somber moments\, If I Were a Butterfly wholly fulfills Baxter’s mission of imparting a certain purposeful joy. “It’s been a weird few years\, but I think the big picture is for us to just exist and find love and be loved\, and try to see that all the daily bullshit is simply bugs on the windshield\,” says Baxter. “I hope that this album makes people feel the way I do whenever I listen to my favorite records\, and that it gives them a platform to dream on.” \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nZach Littleton and Johny Lovan have been aware of each other’s existence since third grade in Bowling Green\, Ky. — after all\, Littleton “dated” Lovan’s sister in that era “mostly because we were both big redheads and everyone said we should\,” he recalls. It took many years for them to start making music together\, and even longer for them to realize they worked best as a duo\, but since 2016\, Sugadaisy has quietly built a substantial fanbase by simply being its weird\, wonderful selves. \nIndeed\, Sugadaisy is no ordinary band\, largely because Littleton and Lovan are no ordinary musicians. One of their songs (“Space Cadet”) has nearly two million listens on Spotify simply thanks to word of mouth and some love from high-trafficking YouTube creators. They’ve performed live in shirts and ties and with their heads covered in pantyhose. With tongue more often than not firmly in cheek\, they’ve largely released tunes rooted in guitar-based folk and singer/songwriter fare\, but they also have punk\, hip-hop\, Spanish\, and math rock songs itching to emerge. \n  \n  \n  \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:Tiger Saw - 25th Anniversary Concert
DESCRIPTION:$15/Members\n$18/Non-Members \nPurchase Tickets\n\nThe beloved indie rock band Tiger Saw formed in Newburyport\, MA in 1999. The band has since released nine albums\, and played almost 1000 shows across three continents. The ever-changing lineup has included 65 different players on record\, and even more in a live setting. \nOn August 18\, 2024\, the classic\, Newburyport-based lineup will reunite for one night only\, at the Firehouse Center for the Arts. This is the band that recorded Tiger Saw’s debut album “Blessed are the Trials We Will Find”\, which was released in March\, 2002 on Kimchee Records. This lineup hasn’t played together since 2003.  \nThe band will feature singer/guitarist Dylan Metrano\, cellist/singer Juliet Nelson\, guitarist John Ryan Gallagher\, bassist Jake Trussell\, and drummer Matt Kulik.  \nUpon its release\, Hallie Engel at Boston’s Weekly Dig raved of Blessed Are the Trials We Will Find\,  “Tiger Saw has created an album with no sharp edges; it’s music as delicate as a China teacup\, with beauty hiding in the empty spaces. Things move from wistfully slow to quiet pop and always seem like they could break out of the mold and explode midway-but never do. And that’s what makes this band so nice; the listener is never roused from the honeyed drowsiness Tiger Saw induces.” \nThere is something magical about the vocal harmonies between Metrano and Nelson\, and at the Firehouse show\, Tiger Saw will revisit their early songs from this era- songs which haven’t been played live in decades. \nSinger/songwriter Jason Anderson will open the show. Anderson lived in Newburyport for a brief time while collaborating with the band\, and now lives in New Brunswick\, Canada. Jason Anderson is an award-winning indie folk artist whose work is as anthemic as it is affecting. Personal and passionate\, his music crackles with life. MRTI Agency wrote “Jason sings directly to your heart\, and does it so vividly\, you can’t help but feel the effects of the performance long after you leave. Yes… he is THAT good.” \nDon’t miss this very special one-time event in a beautiful setting\, where it all began. \nPurchase Tickets

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
