SUMMARY:Esbenshade Series: Sarah Vowell
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Esbenshade Series of Marietta College\nSarah Vowell\, the New York Times bestselling author of seven nonfiction books on American history and culture\, will take the stage at 8:00 p.m.\, Wednesday\, October 11\, at Peoples Bank Theatre as part of Marietta College’s 2023-24 Esbenshade Series. Ticket reservations begin at 10:00 a.m.\, Monday\, September 25. By examining the connections between the American past and present\, she offers personal\, often humorous accounts of American history as well as current events and politics. Her most recent book\, Lafayette in the Somewhat United States\, explores both the ideas and the battles of the American Revolution\, especially the patriot founders’ alliance with France as personified by the teenage volunteer in George Washington’s army\, the Marquis de Lafayette. Vowell’s previous book\, Unfamiliar Fishes\, is the intriguing history of our 50th state\, Hawaii\, annexed in 1898. Replete with a cast of beguiling and often tragic characters\, including an overthrown Hawaiian queen\, whalers\, missionaries\, sugar barons\, Teddy Roosevelt\, and assorted con men\, Unfamiliar Fishes is another history lesson in Americana as only Vowell can tell it — with brainy wit and droll humor. \nThe series\, funded by the Frederica G. Esbenshade Memorial Fund\, will once again feature five performances and all will be free of charge to the public. Ticket reservations begin two weeks before each show date.

SUMMARY:Hank & My Honky Tonk Heroes: 100 Years of Hank Williams
DESCRIPTION:Jason Petty celebrates Hank Williams 100th birthday with his critically acclaimed tribute\, “Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes.” Williams penned over 400 country songs depicting the trials and tribulations of the common man and woman. Among his timeless classics are Hey Good Lookin’\, Your Cheatin’ Heart\, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry\, Jambalaya and I Saw The Light. Williams is credited with creating the style that would influence other artists such as Patsy Cline\, George Jones\, Merle Haggard and Elvis Presley. He is considered the single most influential person in country music history and is enshrined in the Country Music Hall of Fame\, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. \nJason Petty gained national notoriety when he portrayed Hank Williams in the biographical/musical about Williams’ life titled Hank Williams: Lost Highway. Petty first portrayed the country legend on the world-famous Ryman Auditorium stage in Nashville\, TN\, for a 2-year run of the Williams’ production. After 2 national tours\, he landed in New York City where he won the Obie Award for Best Actor in the Off-Broadway production of Hank Williams: Lost Highway. \n Since 2001\, Jason has travelled the continent with his own production called Hank and My Honky Tonk Heroes. Over the years\, Jason had the chance to meet and become friends with those who knew and played with Williams. They shared their stories of what Hank and his music meant to them and to the history of country music. Jason has translated those stories into a beautiful mosaic of live music and storytelling\, taking the audience down history’s memory lane while expertly weaving Williams’ story of triumph and tragedy. \nFor Williams’ 100th birthday celebration\, Jason has put together a package that any size venue can accommodate. From his full band show to a trio to a one-man show\, Jason brings Williams’ legend and music to life with authentic set pieces and period costumes. However\, it is Jason’s easy and insightful storytelling that keeps bringing audiences back time after time. There is no better time to introduce (or re-introduce) yourself to Hank Williams\, and to Jason Petty. \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:Mutts Gone Nuts - Shows at 2:00 PM & 5:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:Two family-friendly shows at 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm! \nCome see the highest jumping dog in the world and her amazing canine cohorts in an all-star revue of doggie derring-do. They’ll have you at WOOF! \nImagine nine of the world’s most talented four-legged performers in an uproariously funny\, comedy dog spectacular and you get Mutts Gone Nuts! The all-star lineup includes Feather\, the Guinness world record holder for highest jumping canine\, National Champion Frisbee dogs\, a hilarious six pound Pomeranian Pikachu mix\, and a host of previously discarded dogs that will dance\, prance\, flip\, and skip their way right in to your heart. \nThe family friendly show runs about 75 minutes and was created by veteran comedy team Scott and Joan Houghton\, who performed their duo act ‘Jessie & James’ on variety stages from Tokyo to Las Vegas. In 2014\, The Houghtons joined forces with some of the countries top dog trainers\, world-class comedian Jonathan Burns and eight adorable pound puppies to create an action-packed\, comedy dog spectacular.\nMutts Gone Nuts’ dogs were all adopted from shelters or rescues. Sometimes the very behavior that drove the previous owner to relinquish the dog\, becomes the dog’s star quality. Mutts Gone Nuts’ trainers use ‘positive’ force-free training methods. They look for the dog’s natural talents by getting to know their individual personalities. Once they find out what the dog likes to do\, they reinforce those behaviors with treats and/or toys. Co-producer and emcee\, Scott Houghton says “I feel lucky to have come into dog training at a time when force-free\, positive training is the gold standard.” \nPositive training not only helps build the trust bond between you and your dog but it makes it fun for the dog and the trainer. When dogs perform behaviors they are naturally inclined to do\, they are happiest. When not on tour\, Mutts Gone Nuts’ furry cast members have the run of three fenced acres\, and of course they all live in the house (some even sleep in their bed). \nDeemed “A must see!” by the Washington Post the dogs will not only amaze you\, they’ll steal your heart\, and maybe your socks! Mutts Gone Nuts is sure to win Best in Show! \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:Old Crow Medicine Show
DESCRIPTION:BY KETCH SECOR: Old Crow Medicine Show began in late September of 1998 when a monkey wrench gang of old-time string band musicians\, most of us still in our teens\, left Ithaca\, New York to cross the Canadian border and play our way to the Pacific. We brought our pawnshop fiddles and banjos\, guitars and washboards to downtown street corners across Ontario\, to paper mill towns above Lake Superior\, farmers markets in Manitoba\, Indian reservations in South Dakota\, and out to the streets of Vancouver and Victoria\, Seattle and Portland. Along the way\, we discovered a unique country sound both old and new\, foreign and familiar. We knew we had captured something special. \nThe lineup was fluid\, just hitch up the best available talent around at the time…and if you had a car that was a plus! But right from the start\, it was me in the driver’s seat of that black ’82 Volvo Station Wagon with the flames painted on the side\, Critter Fuqua riding shotgun\, and in the rearview there was Willie Watson riding in Kevin Hayes’ Ford Econoline van (we called it the White Whale). Standing behind the big doghouse bass was founding member Benny Gould and\, when he wasn’t birdwatching\, wily Kevin Ahearn played the banjo. We had painter/poet Jake Hascup along for the ride and Shani Abel\, a sassy Lubbock Texan who sold found objects during our street corner sets. \nAfter recrossing the continent we decided on moving to the mountains of North Carolina to further explore our newfound musical farrago. Once there\, Old Crow lived off the land\, worked in tobacco fields\, made corn whiskey\, and learned from the old-timers the affairs of plain living. Willie and Benny built banjos. Critter trimmed Fraser firs. Kevin and I shared a cabin deep in a holler with no electricity or plumbing (we did have a sheep\, Daisy\, and a potbelly pig named Jazz). We were a collective\, immersed deeply in the richness of Appalachia\, but more than that we were a pack of friends becoming a band. \nAfter a chance encounter on a downtown curb in Boone\, NC with flat pick legend Doc Watson we were invited to Merlefest where we caught the attention of Nashville\, moving here in 2000\, and bringing in tow buck dancing multi-instrumentalist Matt Kinman. Like in Boone before\, busking continued to bear more than just tips. One night on Lower Broadway\, Morgan Jahnig threw a dollar in the case and 20 years later he’s still our bassist. Gill Landry joined the band in a similar fashion in Jackson Square\, New Orleans. During the early 2000s\, as Critter struggled with addiction\, Old Crow brought in banjo players from Richie Stearns to Dave Rawlings to help plug the gap; even Bucky Baxter played a few shows in the lineup. \nNo matter who was on the stage in support\, there was always Willie and me front and center\, our fiddle and guitar lines weaving and swooping in attack formation. Altogether we built a following around our string band revival sound\, finding a growing legion of fans hungry for roots music and capturing the hearts of acclaimed artists like John Prine\, Gillian Welch\, and Marty Stuart who helped propel our music. We found early exposure from both Garrison Keillor and Conan O’Brian who helped fan the flames we’d been lighting across the country with a relentless touring schedule of club dates and opening slots for artists from Ricky Skaggs to Loretta Lynn to Dave Matthews Band to Willie Nelson. \nWith relentless touring and a growing fanbase\, and with the addition of mandolinist/keyboardist/drummer Cory Younts\, who joined OCMS in 2009\, the band began fusing more and more rock and roll elements\, further intensifying the live show and expanding our range in the recording studio. \nIn 2011\, Willie left the band and Critter returned. Adding West Virginia’s Chance McCoy to the roster helped us become a Grammy Award-winning combination\, one that saw us inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2013. \nThe late teens saw more changes to the lineup with the departures of Critter\, Chance\, and guitjo master Kevin Hayes\, and the flourishing of new players like Charlie Worsham\, Joe Andrews\, and Robert Price. In 2019\, percussionist Jerry Pentecost joined the lineup and during the global pandemic we lifted spirits with a trio of songs: “Pray For America”\, “Nashville Rising”\, and the chart-topping “Medicine Man (with Keb’ Mo’)”. Our Saturday night quarantine livestream Hartland Hootenanny was seen by well over 100\,000 viewers\, featuring performances by Billy Strings\, Amythyst Kiah\, Jim Lauderdale\, and dozens more guest artists. The pandemic also brought the addition of slide guitarist Mike Harris and ruby-throated tenor Mason Via. \nIn April 2022\, we released the critically acclaimed Paint This Town\, our first album of all original material in five years\, recorded in our very own Hartland Studios and co-produced with Memphis hitmaker Matt Ross-Spang. The album and title track landed in the top five of Americana Radio’s 2022 Album and Single airplay charts. After Pentecost’s surprise “call up to the major leagues” early in 2023\, Dante’ Pope joined the Old Crow team on drums. Dante’ first sat behind the kit as a special guest back in 2014 and is featured in the “Brushy Mountain Conjugal Trailer” video of that same era. A former member of the Fisk Jubilee Singers\, he brings to the stage more than just a mastery of percussion. Utility player PJ George III also was enlisted. A native of Salem\, Virginia\, and a master on banjo\, accordion\, and mandolin\, PJ is a veteran of the bluegrass and Americana scene and brings a rascally energy to the band not seen since Critter’s departure. Together we’ll be crisscrossing the nation\, connecting with fans who remind us night after night why a life in music is the most rewarding. \nOver the past two-plus decades\, Old Crow Medicine Show has established itself as America’s most beloved Old-Time String Band and one of Nashville’s most revered musical torchbearers. Our travels have included concerts in a dozen foreign countries\, as well as across the United States where we’ve delighted audiences from the Hollywood Bowl to Telluride\, Bonnaroo and the Newport Folk Festival to Jazz Fest. Our signature song “Wagon Wheel” is one of the most widely sung folk songs in history and was recently certified by RIAA as one of the top five country singles of all time. Our influence has been felt across the Americana music genre from the Lumineers to Mumford & Sons. We continue to explore sounds both old and new\, foreign and familiar\, and keep bringing audiences to their feet night after night. The journey that began in a Volvo Station Wagon at the Canadian border in the fall of 1998 continues to unfold in ways unimaginable. Our exploration of the continent’s heritage in song keeps on producing. Until that vein is tapped we’ll probably just keep on digging. And that’ll likely take a good long while. \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:Asleep at the Wheel
DESCRIPTION:For over fifty years\, Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson has been traversing the globe as an ambassador of Western swing music and introducing its irresistible sound to generation after generation. More than 100 musicians have passed through the Wheel\, but Benson remains the front man and the keeper of the vision\, in the process racking up more than 30 albums\, ten Grammy awards and literally millions of miles on the road. \n“I’m the reason it’s still together\, but the reason it’s popular is because we’ve had the greatest singers and players\,” Benson explains. “When someone joins the band\, I say\, ‘Learn everything that’s ever been done\, then put your own stamp on it.’ I love to hear how they interpret what we do. I’m just a singer and a songwriter\, and a pretty good guitar player\, but my best talent is convincing people to jump on board and play this music.” \nAsleep at the Wheel has collaborated on records with genre-spanning friends\, including Willie Nelson on 2009’s Grammy Nominated Willie and the Wheel and other critically acclaimed artists\, including Brad Paisley\, Jamey Johnson\, Merle Haggard\, George Strait\, the Avett Brothers\, Amos Lee\, Old Crow Medicine Show\, and Lyle Lovett on Still the King\, their 2015 critically acclaimed and Grammy-winning tribute to Bob Wills. On their latest release\, Half A Hundred Years\, Asleep At The Wheel continued their contributions to the American music landscape when three original members of Asleep at the Wheel—Chris O’Connell\, Leroy Preston\, and Lucky Oceans—returned after 40 years to lend their voices and musicianship to a number of tracks on the album along with Emmylou Harris\, Lee Ann Womack\, George Strait\, Lyle Lovett\, and Willie Nelson. \nAsleep at the Wheel represents an important cornerstone of American roots music\, even though some of its members and audiences represent a new generation. That far-reaching appeal remains a testament to Benson’s initial vision. “It took me 60 years\, but I’m doing what I’m meant to do—singing and playing and writing better than I ever have. A bandleader is just someone who gathers people around them to play the best music they can play. I just try and make the best decisions possible and kick some ass every night onstage.” \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:An Acoustic Evening with John Anderson
DESCRIPTION:Featuring an opening performance by special guest Jake Binegar. \nJohn Anderson pushed himself to complete his vocals for Years\, telling producer Dan Auerbach\, “Let’s get everything because I might not wake up.” \nIt’s not an overstatement. In a risky procedure a few months earlier\, when anesthesia was used\, Anderson was told by doctors that he’d died on the operating room table. His wife told him that it had happened three times. That knowledge weighed heavily on the legendary country singer while writing and recording Years because he knew that his next appointment – just a few days after the sessions — would require the same anesthesia.  \nRemarkably\, Anderson kept his health crisis a secret from his touring band and the music industry\, and even now he prefers not to get into all of the details. However\, his recovery has become his testimony. \n“There’s a few things that I came out of this whole deal better with\,” Anderson says. “Part of it is my love for music and part of it is my appreciation for my family. But the biggest part is knowing that I might die here any minute\, for who knows what reason\, but I know that the good Lord already came down and touched me. There’s not a doubt in my mind.” \nDuring his health scare\, he’d lost his sense of pitch and even his ability to recognize his own songs on the radio. At one point\, his hearing left him with what he calls “terrible noise\,” forcing him to come off the road for the first time in 40 years. \nAs a child growing up in Apopka\, Florida\, Anderson remembers humming along to the tone of his father’s boat motor. He started his music career performing solo around Florida before moving to Florida. He worked in construction – he was on the roofing crew for the new Grand Ole Opry House – before landing a contract with Warner Bros. Records. \nAfter charting modestly in the late ‘70s\, Anderson scored No. 1 hits in the ‘80s with “Wild and Blue\,” “Swingin’\,” and “Black Sheep.” After a brief career lull\, he staged a major comeback in 1992 as “Straight Tequila Night” became his first No. 1 single in nine years. That momentum carried him into the 2000s\, giving him 60 charting country singles in four consecutive decades. \n“As a musician who lived this way\, this job has always been so easy and so natural\,” Anderson says. “I always have thanked God for never having to work\, what I called work. I didn’t have to work too hard at it. It was a great way of living for me — and then it went away.” \nMarried since 1983\, with two daughters\, Anderson leaned on his family to push through. For a year and a half\, through innumerable doctor’s visits\, he fought on a daily basis to heal. He remembers at his most desperate moment\, he stood in the front yard of his acreage\, let the rain wash over him\, and told God\, “I don’t really know how much more I can deal with. Please help.” \nLooking back at that moment\, he says\, “It was a matter of 48 hours I started getting better. And I’m telling you\, I’m not here to be anything other than what I am\, but the biggest thing I’ve gotten out of my whole experience is knowing how real my faith is.” \nDuring his period of recovery\, Anderson got a phone call out of the blue from Auerbach\, who was simply calling as a fan\, inspired by a conversation with David Ferguson (co-producer) about great singers. When Anderson later met them both in person at Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville\, they clicked as a unit immediately. On the spot\, Anderson – a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee — accepted an invitation to write the next day. \nThat first co-write yielded “Years\,” an emotional centerpiece of the album sung from the perspective of a man with some miles on him. “I recall thinking to myself\, ‘This is a pretty good song\,’” Anderson says. “But we know there’s a lot of good songs that get written\, and a lot of them never get heard. Nevertheless it was off to a good start.” \nAuerbach kept setting writing dates with collaborators like Joe Allen\, Pat McLaughlin\, and Paul Overstreet. At Anderson’s request\, Auerbach sang the work tapes. Instantly recognizing the caliber of the songs\, Auerbach offered to make an album with studio players like Gene Chrisman\, Dave Roe\, Russ Pahl\, Billy Sanford\, and Bobby Wood. Although he had produced or co-produced his own albums since 1981\, Anderson put his trust in Auerbach. \n“I booked the session and here I’ve got a room full of musicians\, and I really didn’t know if he was going to be able to hear in the headphones\,” Auerbach remembers. “But we got him behind the microphone\, he started singing and it was pure magic. His voice is like caramel magic coming out of those speakers.” \nListening to Anderson’s vocals on Years\, it would be impossible to guess that anything was amiss. Delivered in that distinctive\, rich baritone\, “Celebrate” provides a perspective of gratitude while “Slow Down\,” “All We’re Really Looking For” and “You’re Nearly Nothin’” are some of the most eloquent love songs he’s ever recorded. \nMeanwhile\, “I’m Still Hangin’ On” conveys the realities of a soldier living with PTSD\, while “Tuesday I’ll Be Gone” – a breezy duet with good friend Blake Shelton – captures the joy of just getting away from it all. The rambling vibe of “Wild and Free” and irresistible rhythm of “What’s a Man Got to Do” feel like they’ve been in Anderson’s repertoire all along. Beyond Years\, the sessions also yielded a rewarding new friendship between the artist and producer. \n“John will sing it as many times as you want. He wants it to be great\, but the thing is\, once he starts singing\, it’s almost right there\, right from the first lick\,” Auerbach says. “I feel incredibly lucky that I even had to the opportunity to make a record with John Anderson\, let alone have all this meaning to it.” \nAnderson adds\, “We went in the studio\, and I remember saying\, ‘I’m going to do this like it might be my last.’ It still could be\, but now the chances of that are getting slimmer and slimmer every day. I’m doing better so I’m not hardly thinking that way anymore. That’s a blessing\, too. \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:The Linda Ronstadt Experience
DESCRIPTION:The Linda Ronstadt Experience with American Idol Star Tristan McIntosh is the premier touring tribute band showcasing the songs that Linda Ronstadt made famous. The show takes you on a musical journey of smash hit songs\, including “You’re No Good\,” “When Will I Be Loved\,” “That’ll Be the Day\,” and a particularly delicate\, nuanced interpretation of “Blue Bayou\,” among many more. \nThis repertoire spans from the earliest days of Linda’s singing career with the Stone Poneys\, a folk trio formed in Los Angeles in 1965; her first hit song with the band was the evocative “Different Drum.” \nDuring the 1970s\, she helped forge the country-rock sound of the era with classic renditions of songs by the Eagles\, Jackson Brown\, and Warren Zevon; later in the 1980s\, she bridged the new wave sound of the decade into huge hits with her chart-topping tenth album\, Mad Love. Linda’s explosive live shows also included material by the Rolling Stones\, Tom Petty\, Little Feat\, and other contemporaries of the day. \nCome out and revel in the songs Linda Ronstadt brought to life so beautifully\, performed by the Linda Ronstadt Experience. Vocalist Tristan McIntosh (2016 American Idol finalist) takes you on an emotional ride of purity\, power\, and heartbreak as she soars through these songs as though they live inside her. Be part of the experience\, and follow Tristan McIntosh and the Linda Ronstadt Experience as they bring Linda Ronstadt’s music into the 21st century! \nTo convey the majesty and impact of McIntosh’s powerful vocal quality is hard to put into words. She exudes poise and grace\, with a delivery both electrifying and subtle\, by turns. Tristan brings the original singer’s version stunningly alive through her own artful touch. A sea of listeners throughout a theatre can often be heard quietly singing along at the summit of “You’re No Good\,” drawing out that famous\, 8-second vowel. \nThe LRE show is touring widely\, and becoming ever more popular\, earning increasingly sold-out houses. Catch them when—not if—you can. It’s a shining experience that will buoy your days to come. \nThe Band\nComposed of accomplished professionals\, the band includes Berklee alumnus and keyboard virtuoso Brooks Milgate\, along with recent transplant to NYC by way of Nashville\, the guitars and harmony vocals of Bronson Bush. Drummer Ethan Leff keeps the engine room humming alongside veteran bassist Paul “Junior” Boyne\, who is also the band’s founder. Rounding out the band’s sound on alternating shows are seasoned multi-instrumentalists Peter Adams and Andy Santospago\, each contributing pedal steel\, acoustic guitar\, harmonica\, banjo and vocal harmonies. \nPerforming All the Hits and More\nLinda Ronstadt was the rare artist who could comfortably cover a wide variety of musical bases\, including folk\, rock\, country\, jazz standards\, opera and Latin. Her vocal gift had few limitations and she showcased it with every recording and performance. Her incredible vocal instrument\, along with her classic song interpretations\, have earned her countless devoted fans across the world. Sadly\, Linda has been stricken with Parkinson’s disease\, and can no longer sing or perform. The Linda Ronstadt Experience is excited to help keep her legacy alive by continuing to share the joy and beauty of her repertoire to a wide audience. \n“Music is meant to lighten your load. By singing it\, you release the sadness and release yourself.” —Linda Ronstadt \nHow The Linda Ronstadt Experience Came to Be\nIn June 2017\, bassist Junior Cain ran a local ad in the northeast\, seeking a Linda Ronstadt-style singer. He proceeded to assemble a band of players that echoed his love for the artist who had been stricken with Parkinson disease\, leaving her unable to sing or perform. After a few early personnel changes\, Junior decided to place ads in the musical hot spots of Nashville and Austin. \nAfter a few weeks\, Tristan McIntosh’s Nashville management team replied to the ad. It was decided that Tristan’s closest musical collaborator\, Bronson Bush\, would fill out the role as the band’s guitarist. By March 2018\, thirty songs were sent out to the potential band members to learn. \nA few months later\, in June of 2018\, Tristan and Bronson flew to Logan Airport in Boston to rehearse the material\, and then shoot video on day four. It took a tremendous leap of faith on everyone’s part\, but when all the members met\, their chemistry and good vibes were undeniable. When Tristan began to sing\, everyone knew that this was going to be something very special. They arranged the material together\, and by November of that same year\, they were off on their first run of shows. \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:The Oak Ridge Boys
DESCRIPTION:Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash\, earned them Grammy\, Dove\, CMA\, and ACM awards\, and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience\, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles\, and 50 years of tradition\, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. \n“When I go on stage\, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys\,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I’ve ever wanted to have.” \n“Like everyone else in the group\,” adds bass singer extraordinaire Richard Sterban\, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” \nThe two\, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden\, comprise one of Country’s truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira\, as well as Bobbie Sue\, Dream On\, Thank God For Kids\, American Made\, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes\, Fancy Free\, Gonna Take A Lot Of River\, and many others. In 2009\, they covered a White Stripes song\, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers. In 2011\, they rerecorded a thirtieth-anniversary version of Elvira for a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store project.  \nThe group has scored 12 gold\, three platinum\, and one double platinum album—plus one double platinum single—and had more than a dozen national Number One singles and over 30 Top Ten hits. \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:5Point Adventure Film Festival On The Road
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Best Of The Flagship Festival! \nFrom the 5PT Adventure Film Festival: \nWe believe that communities are made better when their people pursue adventure and intentionally live their own best stories. That’s why 5Point travels year-round with a selection of the best films from the annual Carbondale festival. Shows are hosted by a variety of organizations\, corporations\, non-profits\, and venues. The intention is to hand our best 5Point films over to these organizations and empower them to host their own show and help bring their community together over an evening of impactful and fun adventure films. \nWe believe the power of film is magnified when a group experiences meaningful stories together. We laugh\, cry\, cheer\, learn\, and explore the world together – and that’s the power of a 5Point show. \nThis event features a 91-minute reel of curated 5Point films. It’s full of inspiration\, adrenaline\, emotion\, and classic 5Point stories. \nFilm Lineup\nTRANSITION \nAfter several years on the freestyle ski cup circuit\, in 2022 Ben decides to take a new turn and a new career start\, Transition. \nLOVE \nAfter a miscarriage and a historic ascent of the famous sport climb Dreamcatcher\, Paige Claassen follows her own path as a professional athlete training through pregnancy\, finding new meaning in strength and identity through the early days of motherhood. \nCREATION THEORY \nWhat is the source of creation? Whether it’s the grandest cosmos or the smallest human idea\, true creation arrives in moments of unexpected convergence— extraordinary synchronicities between space and time\, science and art\, music and mountains and sea. In Creation Theory\, these raw elements converge in the Westfjords of Iceland\, taking us on a journey from the interstellar birth of gravity and rhythm\, to their ultimate human creative expression: surfer on wave\, snowboarder on peak\, and musician on stage. \nFLIP THE SWITCH \nIf you don’t have role models to look up to\, it’s harder to progress as a rider. Georgia Astle grew up chasing her older brother. But when she looked beyond racing\, there weren’t a lot of women pushing the limits of freeride. Until all of a sudden\, there was. \nPROLYFYCK \nTheir route is uphill by design. Through the language of running\, Prolyfyck Run Creww is creating a safe space where Black runners can see themselves represented\, and all runners are welcome\, in Charlottesville\, VA. \nRISE \nRise – A short mountain bike film showcasing 17-year-old Kaidan Ingersoll from North Yarmouth\, Maine. \nTO BE FRANK \nTo Be Frank pivots from social media’s lens and explores authenticity and community in surfing via Frank Paine\, a 73-year-old South Bay icon and humble local legend whose life orbits around a two-block stretch of beach. His unforgettable mustache and magnetic spirit are what most notice first\, but Frank’s deeper layers expose a depth that might answer some questions that we surfers continually ask ourselves. \nMALIK \nA chance encounter changes the course of two men\, Malik Martin\, and Conrad Anker\, to where they find a unique kinship and understanding forged in climbing. \nAFTER YOU’VE GONE \nRachel Finn grapples with life after loss. Showcasing an inspiring perspective on moving forward through trauma in an unapologetically true-to-herself way that brings a smile to everyone who crosses her path. Oh\, and she catches some big F&#@ING fish. \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:The CALT Sessions: Hilarie Burhans
DESCRIPTION:Happening inside The Stage Door at 224 Putnam Street in Marietta.\nDoors open at 6:30 pm.\nThis project is made possible through the Central Appalachia Living Traditions Folk & Traditional Arts Experiences program of Mid Atlantic Arts.  \nHilarie Burhans has been playing clawhammer-style banjo for 50 years. She is passionate about passing on what she has learned to others\, and thanks to new online platforms\, she now has students all over the world. With her band\, the Hotpoint Stringband\, she built on her foundation of Appalachian reels and hoedown tunes to become one of the leading contemporary American contradance bands in North America. \nFrom Hilarie Burhans: \nI’ve been playing and teaching my driving clawhammer banjo style for more than 45 years.  I’m the co-founder of the nationally-touring Hotpoint Stringband\, with whom I have recorded five albums\, and I’ve collaborated on too many other musical projects to count. A track from my solo CD was featured on an episode of the acclaimed HBO series Deadwood. Well over 5000 subscribers enjoy my YouTube banjo channel\, and my banjo instructional Patreon has more than 500 paid subscribers.  In my younger days\,  I won the Ohio State Banjo Contest nine times\, and am very proud to have placed in the contests at the Appalachian Stringband Festival (Clifftop) a number of times (3rd in Banjo\, and First Place in both the Traditional Band and NeoTraditional Band contests.) \nI love teaching banjo\, and especially love working with beginners and with folks making the transition from learning note-by-note from an instructor or tablature to learning tunes from recordings or “on the fly” at jams.  Check out my lessons page for more info. \nI live in Athens\, Ohio\, and am lucky to be the wife of a fiddler (Mark Burhans) and also the mother of a fiddler (Ry Burhans.) I grew up in Arizona\, Wisconsin\, Karachi in Pakistan\, Massachusetts\, Addis Ababa in Ethiopia\, and then\, after 9th grade\, moved to the college town Athens in the Appalachian part of Ohio. I feel deeply rooted here but have not lost my love for travel\, and have dragged a banjo with me to India\, Nepal\, Australia\, Costa Rica\, Portugal\, England\, France\, and Germany\, and have taught banjo workshops in many of those countries.  \n \nThe CALT Sessions (An Appalachian Music Series)\nGrammy Winners\, WV Music Hall of Fame Inductees\, and regional heroes will join us this summer for this entertaining and informative new series made possible by Central Appalachia Living Traditions (CALT) and the Mid Atlantic Arts!  \nThe artists will discuss how Appalachian traditional music and culture have influenced their contemporary works. All the artists will be performing and taking questions from attendees.  \nThe series will take place inside The Stage Door at 224 Putnam Street in Marietta\, in a close\, intimate environment. The events will be free to the public\, but you must have a ticket. Tickets will be released online two days before each event.

SUMMARY:Kenny G
DESCRIPTION:The sound of Kenny G’s saxophone is as iconic as his curly coif; indeed\, both are instantly recognizable. His latest release\, New Standards\, the title of his 19th studio album\, fifth for Concord Records and first since 2015’s Brazilian Nights\, could well be used to describe his four-decade body of work\, a vision of jazz that helped launch both a musical genre and radio format. After director Penny Lane’s critically acclaimed HBO documentary\, Listening to Kenny G – which humorously reconsiders the purist critical backlash to his music – and a demand performance on Kanye West’s Grammy-winning Jesus Is King album\, it’s now cool to not only be Kenny G\, but admit you’re a fan of his as well. \n“I didn’t realize how strong the message was until I saw the finished film\,” says Kenny\, who has both the best-selling instrumental album of all time in the Diamond-selling\, 12-times-platinum 1992 Breathless\, earning him his only Grammy Award among 15 nominations\, and the Guinness Book of World Records mark for longest sustained note ever recorded on the saxophone. The feature probes some of the many Kenny G accomplishments\, from his song “Going Home” being used as the official end-of-work-day anthem in China to his skills as a golfer and airline pilot. He was also one of the original 10 investors in his Seattle hometown Starbucks Coffee. \nRecalling his music spawning the “smooth jazz” phenomenon\, Kenny explains\, “I’m proud of the fact it was a new style of music that no one was either playing or writing at the time. And it touched a great many people who weren’t into traditional jazz\, pop or R&B. Somewhere in the middle\, they found something they were looking for and liked.” \nNew Standards continues the musical path that has seen Kenny G sell 75 million albums around the world\, looking back to the classic ‘50s and ‘60s jazz ballads for inspiration\, updating them with new studio technology\, such as the digital ability to piece together songs note by note from different performances. The tracks are almost equally divided between soprano and tenor sax\, with one song\, “Two of a Kind\,” featuring him on both\, duetting with himself\, a slight\, unintended hint of Seals & Crofts’ “Summer Wind” wafting through\, while the wistful\, airy “Moonlight” finds him taking a rare turn on alto sax\, the instrument on which he first learned to play. \n“I wanted to play songs with chord progressions that reflected the classic jazz era of Coltrane\, Charlie Parker\, Sonny Rollins\, Cannonball Adderley and Dexter Gordon\, while doing them my way\, creating new standards\,” he says. \nFor “Legacy\,” he sampled the great Stan Getz playing tenor on a live\, unaccompanied version of “Happy Birthday\,” creating a duet with him on soprano sax. \n“I took those individual notes and turned them into a melody I’m proud of\,” explains Kenny. “I don’t think that’s ever been done before.” \nReminiscent of his global hit duet with a filmed Louis Armstrong on “What a Wonderful World\,” Kenny G expects some jazz buffs night not be happy with his Getz tribute\, even though\, as was the case with the Armstrong song\, he is donating all proceeds to the late musician’s estate and family\, whom Kenny says are delighted with his version. \nKenny performs a sprightly soprano sax on the opening “Emeline\,” named after a close family friend\, while the ultra-romantic “Only You” combines a variety of throwback chord changes with a soaring tenor sax gliding its way on top. \n“Rendezvous” evokes a smoky jazz ballad of the ‘40s with its aching tenor\, the first song Kenny G recorded for the album.“Paris by Night” evokes a foggy night strolling on the bridges across the Seine\, while “Anthem” sports a duet between Kenny G on soprano and cello\, giving the track a hymn-like\, anthemic drive a song Kenny played live with the National Symphony in Nashville in December. \n“Blue Skies” is an airy\, whimsical melody he wrote with piano player Randy Waldman\, a fellow airplane pilot — hence the title — whom he accompanies on soprano sax. “Milestones” offers an homage to classic jazz tropes in name and sound\, while the closing “Waltz in Blue\,” titled for its three-quarter time crossed with a blues beat\, ends the album on a rounded low B-flat\, the perfect answer to the high E which begins the first track\, “Emeline.” \nThe album forms an aural narrative\, which makes it the perfect vehicle to demonstrate to film directors and music supervisors that Kenny G\, the world’s most popular instrumental musician\, is overdue to compose his first movie score. \n“If any director needs a memorable instrumental for their film…” he offers. “I think I’ve proven what I can do.” \nFor the last several years\, Kenny G has taken to the internet with gusto\, his posts becoming memes and going viral\, as he continues to have fun with the whole idea of being his iconic self\, satirized in South Park\, Trolls World Tour (as a frizzy-haired sax player threatens the whole pop music cosmos with his “smooth jazz”) and Saturday Night Live’s Kenan Thompson-hosted “What’s Up With That?” segment\, where Fred Armisen plays a certain frizzy-haired soprano sax player. \n“I don’t know why they just don’t have me do it\,” Kenny G laughs\, perfectly in on the joke. “When I was on the show playing with Foster the People\, I told them\, ‘Hey guys\, I’m right here.’ I can fake playing sax really well.” \nAnd\, as you can hear on the excellent new New Standards\, he does quite fine when he plays for real\, too. \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!\n \n
