SUMMARY:Hot Tuna
DESCRIPTION:An Acoustic Evening with Hot Tuna\n“Hot Tuna is a Psychedelic-Blues Institution” – Rolling Stone Magazine \nHot Tuna\, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady\, perform with a well-honed and solid power – always in the groove from years of experience and mutual inspiration. Started as a side project during their Jefferson Airplane days\, the constant\, the very definition of Hot Tuna\, has always been Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady. The two boyhood pals have never wavered in one of the most enduring friendships in Rock history. \n**GET JORMA’S MEMOIR: Add Jorma’s memoir\, Been So Long: My Life and Music to your order of any top tier or pit ticket for $29.99. Includes meet & greet and book signing with Jorma. Limited to first 50 tickets. Select “Ticket + Book” when ordering.** \nFrom their days playing together as teenagers in the Washington\, DC area\, through years of inventive psychedelic rock in San Francisco (1996 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees)\, to their current acoustic and electric blues sound\, no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady\, the founders and continuing core members of Hot Tuna. At the 2016 Grammys\, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady were honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards. \n“Jorma Kaukonen is a force in American music\, equally adept at fingerpicked acoustic folk and blues as he is at wailing on an electric.”  – Acoustic Guitar \nGuitarist and vocalist\, Jorma Kaukonen is a highly respected interpreter of roots music\, blues\, Americana\, and popular rock-and-roll.  Jorma’s repertoire goes far beyond psychedelic rock; he is a music legend and one of the finest singer-songwriters in music. Jorma tours the world bringing his unique styling to old blues while writing new songs of weight and dimension. \n“Jack Casady is virtually unparalleled–and yet he has one of the most truly unique electric-bass voices in rock…he can melt into a supportive role but when opportunity knocks\, he bursts forth with creative lines–both simple and ornate–that are unlike any you’ve heard”  – Premier Guitar \nOne of the most unique innovators in the sixty-year history of the bass guitar\, Jack Casady made his sweeping melodic mark helping to create the “San Francisco Sound” with legendary rock group Jefferson Airplane. Jack went on to track with Jimi Hendrix\, Crosby\, Stills\, Nash & Young\, Warren Zevon\, members of the Grateful Dead\, John Lee Hooker\, and Gov’t Mule. Casady\, regarded as one of rock’s greatest bassists\, is certainly one of its most original. \n“For a band that traces its roots back to 1969\, Hot Tuna can still bring the heat. Not only did they tackle songs from their wide catalog and long career\, but they also showed the audience that they still have fun doing it. Jack Casady stomped around the stage totting a bass that is about the same size as him while Jorma Kaukonen lit a fuse and transformed his guitar into a firework.” – Live For Live Music

SUMMARY:Hot Rize featuring Red Knuckles and The Trailblazers
DESCRIPTION:Hot Rize has been astounding the bluegrass world with their fresh\, contemporary approach to traditional music ever since their formation in 1978. The band’s unique and progressive style of bluegrass\, powerful original songs\, tight-as-a-drum ensemble playing\, and dynamic stage show quickly made them stars on the major festival circuit and far beyond. In 1990\, Hot Rize won the first-ever International Bluegrass Association’s Entertainer of the Year Award and in 1991 they picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass album and won IBMA Song of the Year. Since the 90s\, this all-star band has kept their legend alive by performing at only the most prestigious festivals (like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass​\, Telluride​\, Bonnaroo​\, and GreyFox​) and a few select venues. This crazy thing happens when you hire Hot Rize – everywhere they go\, the ever-popular Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers shows up as well. Invited or not\, at some point during the night\, they are going to take the stage and wow the crowd with their classic honky tonk and western music. The combination of these two bands (who bear some resemblance) makes this one world-class evening of entertainment\, a rare event not to be missed.

SUMMARY:Kathy Mattea
DESCRIPTION:With special guests Laurie and Eddie from Hey Mavis opening. \nKathy Mattea has enjoyed the kind of success many artists only dream of: two GRAMMY wins\, four CMA Awards\, five gold albums\, and a platinum collection of her greatest hits. Mattea’s dream almost ended\, though\, when she entered her 50s and found her voice changing. As much as she wanted to ignore the warning signs\, there was no getting around the fact that she simply wasn’t hitting the notes she used to. Taking the stage and giving anything less than her best wasn’t an option\, so as far as Mattea was concerned\, there were only two choices: re-learn to sing\, or walk away forever. \n“The hardest thing was facing the question of whether or not I could continue\,” she reflects. “I had to be willing to come to a ‘no\,’ to accept that my singing voice just might not be something I enjoyed anymore. There were days when I believed it was very likely I wouldn’t be able to go on.” \nMattea persevered\, though\, undergoing intensive vocal training and emerging with the most poignant album of her career\, ‘Pretty Bird.’ Recorded over the course of a year with roots music wizard Tim O’Brien at the helm\, ‘Pretty Bird’ draws its strength not only from Mattea’s touching performances\, but also from her uncanny ability to weave seemingly disparate material into a cohesive whole. These are the songs that helped her reclaim her voice\, and though they’re drawn from a wide swath of writers\, genres\, and eras\, she inhabits each as fully as if it were her own. Exquisitely arranged and delivered with the kind of nuance that can only come from a lifetime of heartbreak and triumph\, the album is a welcome reintroduction to one of country and Americana music’s most enduring and beloved figures. \nA West Virginia native\, Mattea moved to Nashville in the late 1970s to pursue her goal of singing professionally. She signed her first record deal in 1983 and achieved modest chart success with a pair of early releases\, but her true commercial breakout arrived with her critically acclaimed third album\, ‘Walk The Way The Wind Blows.’ That record produced her first radio hits\, and its follow-up\, 1987’s ‘Untasted Honey\,’ was the first of five Mattea releases to be certified gold. ‘Untasted Honey’ contained back-to-back #1 country singles\, as did 1989’s ‘Willow In The Wind\,’ which also earned back-to-back CMA Female Vocalist of the Year awards and a GRAMMY for Best Female Vocal Performance. The LA Times called Mattea “a performer of limitless potential\,” while the Washington Post hailed her as “one of Nashville’s finest song interpreters\,” and People described her as “warm\, strong\, smart and generally splendid.” Over the next three decades\, she would record nearly a dozen more albums exploring country\, folk\, Celtic\, and gospel music; earn her second GRAMMY Award; top the Bluegrass \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlbums chart and garner an additional GRAMMY nomination for ‘Coal\,’ her Marty Stuart-produced exploration of coal mining songs; and collaborate with everyone from Jackson Browne to Townes Van Zandt. \nBy the time she entered her 50s\, Mattea’s status as a legend was secure\, but the one thing she’d always been able to rely on felt like it was in serious danger of slipping away. \n“I kept noticing this shaky quality in my voice\,” she says. “I’d be onstage going for a note in a song I knew like the back of my hand and it wouldn’t come out. The way I knew how to sing just wasn’t working anymore.” \n \nSo began a years-long odyssey Mattea describes as her “dark night of the soul\,” a trying time of personal anguish and professional uncertainty that threatened to silence her permanently. Some nights her voice would be there in all its glory; other nights\, inexplicably\, notes would lie just beyond her grasp. The harder she tried\, the more she struggled\, and Mattea was forced to reckon with the possibility that her career might be over. \n“I kept running from it\, but eventually I realized I had to stop and deal with the issue head on\,” she explains. \nThe classically-trained Mattea dove into an exhaustive regimen with a new\, jazz- centric vocal coach\, developing a fresh approach to singing and forcing herself to break habits she’d relied on for her entire career. Most importantly\, she came to recognize the beauty in how her voice was changing. Age had helped open Mattea’s lower register like never before\, and songs she’d previously shied away from suddenly came to new\, vibrant life. \n“It was astounding to me\,” she reflects. “That’s when I really felt this vocal rebirthing process\, and it gave me great joy because there’s nothing that’s ever felt more right to me in my life than singing and making music.” \nAs her confidence returned\, Mattea and her longtime guitarist/collaborator Bill Cooley decided to take their weekly living room jam sessions on the road\, performing an extensive\, stripped-down duo tour of unexpected material and old favorites. It took courage for Mattea to get back on stage in the midst of her vocal training\, but the work paid off\, and as she learned to let go of the idea of “perfection”\, she stripped the power from the fear that had gripped her for so long and kept her from the stage. All that was left was to return to the studio. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I woke up in my bed at 2am one night and realized\, ‘Oh my God. I have to call Tim O’Brien\,’” Mattea remembers. “Tim is like a brother to me. We’ve worked together on each other’s records for years\, and he’s one of the most comfortable\, patient\, safe people to collaborate with that I’ve ever known.” \nWhile ‘Pretty Bird’ certainly reflects that comfort\, it also reflects the adventurous streak that’s long defined Mattea’s choice in song. The album opens with playful take on Oliver Wood’s sultry “Chocolate On My Tongue” before moving seamlessly into a soulful rendition of Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode To Billie Joe.” The Mary Gauthier-penned “Mercy Now” finds Mattea offering up a tender prayer for understanding in these troubled times\, while Joan Osborne’s “St. Teresa” takes on new life in light of the ravages that addiction has wrought on the singer’s home state. The arrangements on the album are earthy and organic\, but its most affecting moments arrive in stripped- down songs like the British traditional “He Moves Through The Fair” and the arresting title track\, a Hazel Dickens tune that boldly closes the record with Mattea’s rich\, a cappella voice. It’s that voice that saved her\, and it’s through singing Mattea hopes she can help others\, too. \n“I think there’s something sacred in this secular act of lifting our voices together\,” she explains. “When we sing together\, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from or who you voted for. We’re all having the same experience and expressing ourselves the same way\, and that’s where I want to plant my flag right now.” \nMore than simply rejuvenating her career\, recovering her voice presented Kathy Mattea with a new lease on her humanity. With an album as powerful as ‘Pretty Bird\,’ it’s clear she intends to make the most of it. \n \nLaurie & Eddie from Hey Mavis\n \nLaurie Michelle Caner (vocals\, banjo\, songwriting) is a homeschooling mom\, a songwriter\, and Ms. May in the 2015 Banjo Babes Calendar. She has been hailed as a role model for mothers who strive to honor their own artistic vision while continuing to raise a healthy family. Her banjo playing is of curious origin\, but beautifully serves as a foundation for her lyrics. Laurie’s songwriting tells the story of life—with all of it’s beauty\, heartache\, disappointment and joy—weaving a musical tapestry that speaks the truth of love\, life and the human condition. \nEddie Caner (violin\, viola profunda) spent a dozen years performing as a sideman in national touring bands and orchestras\, including Page & Plant\, Luciano Pavarotti\, Smokey Robinson\, and Natalie Cole. Eddie always amazes the audience with his Hendrix-like tone and precision—he can soar beautifully over Laurie’s vocals or play a raucous\, dirgy groove. He was once labeled by the legendary music critic Jane Scott as “the most versatile musician on the planet”. Eddie spends his free time as a physics instructor at Case Western Reserve University. \nHey Mavis has appeared on NPR’s Mountain Stage\, NPR’s Whad’ya Know?\, and PBS’s Songs from the Center. The group has performed standing-room-only shows at the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival as well as nine consecutive sell-out concerts in their hometown of Akron\, Ohio. In 2017\, Melissa Etheridge saw Hey Mavis perform at a benefit concert and recruited the group to perform on her 2018 music cruise.

SUMMARY:Mountain Stage
DESCRIPTION:Mountain Stage with Larry Groce returns to Marietta\, Ohio! With Natalie Prass\, Red Wanting Blue\, Todd Burge\, Jill Sobule\, and Gurf Morlix. \nFor more than 30 years Mountain Stage with Larry Groce has been the home of live music on public radio. The two-hour radio show is produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting and distributed by National Public Radio weekly on more than 240 stations across America and around the world via NPR Music and mountainstage.org. The show\, which is recorded before a live audience\, features performances by seasoned legends and emerging stars in genres ranging from folk\, blues and country to indie rock\, synth pop\, world and alternative music\, and beyond. \nSinger/songwriter Larry Groce serves as the show’s host\, artistic director and co-producer. The Mountain Stage house band includes jazz pianist Bob Thompson\, vocalist Julie Adams\, bass player Steve Hill\, drummer Ammed Solomon and guitarists Michael Lipton and Ryan Kennedy. The band is directed by Ron Sowell. \nAdditional artists will be announced soon. If you haven’t done so already\, be sure to sign up for our email updates\, so you can be the first to know when this performance’s guests are announced. \nMountain Stage is produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting and distributed by NPR Music. \nGuest Artists\nNatalie Prass\n \nThough she’d been honing her craft and paying her dues for years\, Prass first emerged to international acclaim in 2015\, when her debut record earned its rightfully rapturous reception. Rolling Stone swooned for the Virginia native’s “beguiling voice and refined taste\,” while Pitchfork praised her album as a “smoldering perspective on passionate romance\,” and The New Yorker simply called it “timeless.” She appeared on the Martin Scorsese-helmed HBO series Vinyl\, performed on the BBC’s Later With Jools Holland\, and CBS This Morning\, and racked up more than ten million streams on Spotify. Before long\, she was headlining dates around the world and playing festival stages from Bonnaroo and Rock En Seine to End Of The Road and Forecastle. \nOnline: http://www.natalieprass.com/ \nRed Wanting Blue\n \nHailed as “Midwestern rock heroes” by American Songwriter\, Red Wanting Blue has spent the last twenty years establishing themselves as one of the indie world’s most enduring and self-sufficient acts\, notching appearances everywhere from Letterman to NPR and reaching #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart\, all while operating largely outside the confines of the traditional music industry. For their powerful new album\, ‘The Wanting\,’ the band handed production duties over to acclaimed singer/songwriter Will Hoge\, who helped them create their most ambitious\, fully realized collection yet. Recorded in Nashville\, TN\, the record draws on many of the group’s traditional strengths—indelible melodies\, infectious hooks\, explosive performances—even as the making of it pushed them far outside their comfort zone and forced them to take an unprecedented\, nearly year-long break from touring.\nAlternately triumphant and melancholic\, the songs on ‘The Wanting’ are both muscular and nuanced\, with frontman Scott Terry’s epic\, heartfelt vocals soaring above the band’s gritty brand of driving rock and roll. The record opens with the rousing “High and Dry\,” a feel-good rocker that also serves as something of a mission statement for a fiercely independent group that’s as much a band as they are a family\, with Terry singing\, “I want to stand on my own two feet again / And when I mess up / That’s when I hope my friends will pick me up.” On “Ulysses\,” the band channels early Phil Collins with pulsing synths and larger-than-life drums\, while the tender “Glass House” crescendos from a delicate whisper to a triumphant roar\, and the dreamy “I’ve Got A Feeling It Hurts” calls to mind the hypnotic drive of REM mixed with a touch of Jayhawks jangle. \n“This is really the most collaborative album our band has ever made\,” Terry says of the wide range of influences. “It’s the first record where every member contributed to the writing\, and I feel like we all matured as artists because of it.” \nOver the course of ten previous studio albums\, Red Wanting Blue brought their passionate\, unforgettable live show to every city and town that would have them\, blazing their own distinctive trail through the American heartland as they built up the kind of fanatically dedicated audiences normally reserved for arena acts. In 2016\, they celebrated with a 20th anniversary retrospective album/concert film entitled ‘RWB20 Live at Lincoln Theater\,’ which captured the band in all their glory at a sold-out hometown show in Columbus\, OH. \nRed Wanting Blue is:\nScott Terry (Vocals\, Tenor Guitar\, Ukulele)\nMark McCullough (Bass\, Chapman Stick\, Vocals)\nGreg Rahm (Guitar\, Keyboards\, Vocals)\nEric Hall (Guitar\, Lap Steel\, Vocals)\nDean Anshutz (Drums & Percussion) \nOnline: www.redwantingblue.com \nTodd Burge\n \nMountain Stage Radio Host\, Larry Groce has introduced Burge many times as “West Virginia’s premier singer-songwriter” — praise Burge does not take lightly. Drawing on his peculiar wit\, nimble guitar playing and the occasional inclusion of ukulele\, whistling and falsetto vocals\, Burge’s music conjures everyone from Roger Miller to Richard Thompson\, often in the same verse of a single song. \nA native of West Virginia’s Wood County region\, Burge spent the ’80s and ’90s earning his place as one of the most important and enduring figures in the state’s music scene\, fronting everything from the alt-rock band 63 Eyes to the outlaw-country cover project Triple Shot. Since the early 2000s\, Burge has concentrated on his singular brand of folk-pop storytelling. \nIn November of this year\, Burge will release two original albums that were recorded thirty-two years apart. Todd Burge (1986 The First Album) was recorded while Burge was still attending West Virginia University back in the mid-80s. The album got tangled up in some record industry politics and as a result\, never hit the music store bins. The new album\, recorded by Don Dixon (Mary Chapin-Carpenter\, REM) will be entitled Reflection (#ReflectionBurgeAlbum) and lyrically looks back on some facts and fiction that have brought Burge to where he is today. (Nobody is really sure where that is\, including me. TB) \nTodd has been invited back to Morgantown WV this fall to teach the very first songwriting course that West Virginia University has ever offered. At the end of the semester\, WVU will release an album of songs created by the students. \nTodd Burge resides in Parkersburg\, WV with his wife Lisa\, kids Sophia and Will and their dog\, Levon. (We don’t get cute and pretend the dog has human traits\, we love him\, but we own him. TB) \nMost recent recordings:\n2018 – Adam of Eve b/w Bald Eagle (Single)\n2016 – Live on Mountain Stage (2006-2015)\n2015 – Imitation Life (Produced by Tim O’Brien) \nOnline:\nwww.toddburge.com\nwww.facebook.com/toddburge\nwww.twitter.com/toddburge\nwww.instagram.com/todd.burge \nJill Sobule\n\nOn Nostalgia Kills (out September 14 on Jill’s own Pinko Records)\, the woman hailed by The New York Times for making “grown-up music for an adolescent age” turns her warm wit and poet’s eye on herself more than ever before\, revisiting moments from throughout her life that made her into the person she is today. It’s an especially poignant look back at childhood — “exorcising some junior high school demons\,” as she puts it. \nLooking back is a new experience for Jill Sobule. Ever since she first caught mainstream attention with her 1995 song “I Kissed a Girl” — the first song about same-sex romance ever to crack the Billboard Top 20 (and no relation to the later Katy Perry tune) — she’s always pushed forward\, exploring new sounds and subject matter with each passing album and refusing to be pigeonholed by her early hits (which also include the ‘90s alt-rock anthem “Supermodel\,” featured in an iconic scene in the film Clueless). \nFor all its graceful\, funny and heartbreaking explorations of awkward youth and grown-up regrets\, Nostalgia Kills is as of-the-moment as anything in Jill Sobule’s catalog. Through her own experiences\, she explores issues our society still collectively struggles with (LGBTQ rights\, teen mental health\, our unhealthy obsession with staying forever young) and gently skewers our tendency to dwell on the past at the expense of addressing the present. As she sings on the title track: “We look at ourselves in a long row of mirrors/We get smaller and smaller with each passing year/We have to keep moving or die.” \n \nGurf Morlix\nOnce\, when asked by a promoter for a copy of his biography\, Gurf Morlix responded with just two words\, “Legendary integrity.”  He would later admit that his response was perhaps a bit pompous\, “but true\,” he added.  “Well\, half true anyway.”  The story is a telling one\, demonstrating not only Morlix’s directness\, which is famous amongst his musical colleagues – or perhaps infamous\, depending on who you ask – but also his dry sense of humor and no-bullshit approach to life\, music\, and the music business. \nHad he sent the promoter a more traditional bio\, it likely would have noted that Gurf was born outside Lackawanna\, New York (near Buffalo)\, saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan\, formed a band (in which Peter Case made his stage debut)\, moved to Los Angeles\, worked for more than a decade as Lucinda Williams’ guitarist\, band-leader and backing vocalist\, produced Lucinda’s acclaimed Sweet Old World and eponymous albums\, famously left Lucinda\, toured with Warren Zevon\, moved to Austin\, befriended Blaze Foley\, produced a number of classic Americana albums you likely own if you are any kind of Americana music fan\, played on many more albums you probably own if you fall into that category\, received the Americana Music Association’s “Instrumentalist of the Year” award\, went on to make seven critically acclaimed albums of his own\, and then toured the world supporting them.  He now continues to play live\, produce albums for artists that move him\, and make his own albums.  He even goes fishing every once in a while. \nOnline:\ngurfmorlix.com/\nFacebook

SUMMARY:Lorrie Morgan
DESCRIPTION:Peoples Bank Theatre presents Lorrie Morgan. One of the biggest country music stars of the past 20 years\, Lorrie has sold more than 5 million albums and scored more than 15 Top 10 country hits. A member of the Grand Ole Opry\, Lorrie is recognized as one of the greatest female singers of her generation. \nThe first woman in her genre to begin her career with three consecutive Platinum albums\, Lorrie re-emerges on Shanachie Entertainment with Letting Go….Slow. The album is a collection that showcases a rainbow of emotions\, from darkest heartache to bright\, shiny humor. \n“Where I am in my life right now\, I’m not afraid to express what I feel\, or what I don’t feel\,” she comments about the collection’s varied moods. “I’m not afraid to express my views on anything\, especially on being a woman. \n“I have been a daughter\, a bride\, a mother\, a divorcee\, a widow\, a single mother\, a breadwinner and\, ultimately\, a survivor. In many ways\, I am a living\, breathing country song\, and I know what I sing. \n“I didn’t want this to be just another album. I wanted it to be something that really moved me. When I listened to songs for it\, I’d think\, ‘No\, not that one. I’m not going to be able to sing that one\, because I’m not going to be able to feel it.’ It was very important to me for this album to reflect the things that I am feeling today.” \nMorgan has long been the envy of her peers for her lustrous vocal phrasing and the down-to-earth believability of her torchy performances. On records such as “A Picture of Me Without You” and “I Guess You Had to Be There\,” she ached with pain. She was feisty and sassy in “Watch Me\,” “What Part of No” “Five Minutes” and “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” She has kicked up her stiletto heels in fun on her hits “Except for Monday” and “Go Away.” On her epic “Something in Red” she was an anguished\, struggling everywoman. \nHer performances on Letting Go….Slow can match any of her earlier efforts\, for they are among the most vibrant of her career. The collection is divided equally between new songs and her reinventions of country classics.
