SUMMARY:Amy Grant [SOLD OUT]
DESCRIPTION:with special guest Joshua Lee\nConventional wisdom has it that Amy Grant put Contemporary Christian Music on the map\, becoming the first CCM artist to have a platinum record\, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts\, and the first to perform at the GRAMMY Awards. Since then\, Amy Grant has been strumming her way through a 30-plus year adventure as a singer-songwriter\, author\, television host and speaker. \nEarly on\, Amy Grant’s iconic voice became instantly recognizable in both the Christian and pop worlds\, some even dubbing her the “Queen of Christian Pop.” Over the years\, she has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide\, including three multi-platinum\, six platinum\, and four gold. Her chart performance has also been consistent throughout her career\, boasting six No. 1 hits\, 10 “Top 40” pop singles\, 17 “Top 40” adult contemporary tracks and multiple contemporary Christian chart toppers. In recognition of such success\, Grant has received 6 GRAMMY Awards and 26 Dove Awards\, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame\, and a star on the Music City Walk of Fame. Additionally\, she was most recently inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. \nStepping out from behind her guitar\, Amy Grant found herself hosting the NBC prime time series “Three Wishes” in 2005\, bringing her into millions of living rooms across America every Friday night. The people she met and stories she collected proved to be great inspiration for creating new music and even writing a book. Two years later\, Grant’s first book\, Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far\, was published. She continues to share her stories with audiences all over the country as a keynote and inspirational speaker. \nIn April 2016\, Amy Grant celebrated the 25th anniversary of her first pop hit\, “Baby Baby”\, with a worldwide release of a new version of the song featuring pop sensation and fellow Capitol Music Group recording artist Tori Kelly. Growing her wildly popular Christmas brand\, Grant then released “Tennessee Christmas” in October 2016\, her first all-new Christmas album in nearly twenty years. She looks forward to national arena symphony Christmas tours each November and December with long-time friend Michael W. Smith\, as well as an annual Christmas residency at the world-famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville with country superstar husband Vince Gill. \nGrant resides with her family in Nashville\, Tennessee\, and is widely known for her philanthropy and tireless involvement in local causes and charitable organizations. Her own organization\, The Helping Hands Foundation\, has afforded her the opportunity to identify needs around her and the resources to help meet them\, which has proven to be the sweetest reward of all. \nJoshua Lee\n \nAfter 14 years of fifteen-passenger vans\, tour buses\, and side man gigs\, Joshua Lee left Nashville with his young family and headed to West Virginia\, trading screaming fans for screaming kids. After a difficult transition\, Lee nearly left the music life behind entirely\, but he began to write again and in doing so found his own musical voice. In his old life\, Lee might have sought collaborators to start a band\, but having difficulty finding enough like-minded musicians\, he focused instead on discovering himself as a solo artist\, something he’d never tried before. Playing solo shows in the Ohio Valley area led to a new confidence in his ability as a singer-songwriter and to a new group of musical collaborators. \nOn his debut EP\, Promise Land (June 2017)\, Joshua wrestles with questions of loss and cautiously reaches for hope rather than despair. Recorded mostly at home\, and self-produced along with Trae Gunter (Randy Montana\, Jacob Thomas Jr.)\, he finds himself searching for his own sound by mining the territories of folk rock and heartland rock and blending in synths and ambient guitars. Hints of The National supplement more traditional song forms in the spirit of Ryan Adams and Tom Petty. \nNow based in Marietta\, Ohio\, Joshua Lee is performing solo and full band in the Mid-Ohio Valley region as he’s beginning work on his next project. \nWebsite: http://joshualeemusic.com/ \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/imightbejoshualee/ \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/imightbejoshualee/

SUMMARY:Creature from the Black Lagoon
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Marietta High School Class of 1954 \nLove is strange. Especially when the monstrosity known as the Gill-Man falls hard for Kay (Julia Adams) while she’s on a geology expedition in the Amazon! After changing the world ten times over with movies like DRACULA\, FRANKENSTEIN\, and THE WOLF MAN\, Universal took inspiration from real-life prehistoric beasts for the iconic CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. And horror history was ever the same again. Confidently directed by sci-fi maestro Jack Arnold (TARANTULA) and featuring gorgeous creature designs by Milicent Patrick\, it’s not surprising that Guillermo del Toro once referred to this movie as\, “the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.” \nCREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON has its roots\, of all places\, at a party hosted by Orson Wells. Producer William Alland was engaging in some small talk when he met a cinematographer who claimed to have seen photographic evidence of a fish-man that lived in the Amazon. Alland\, looking for a new project to develop at Universal\, took this story – Amazon fish-man seeks the yearly sacrifice of a beautiful young woman – and immediately knew what to do with it: he would remake KING KONG! Yes\, Alland’s original vision for the movie skewed very closely to the story of KING KONG. Scientists would capture the gill-man through the use of live bait (a beautiful woman\, naturally) and take it back to civilization where it would rampage before eventually being killed due to its love for a woman that it could never know. In fact\, if you watch CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON and REVENGE OF THE CREATURE back-to-back\, you get the story of KING KONG in almost its entirety. \nWhen it came time to film the movie\, CREATURE was shot simultaneously on the Universal back lot (everything in the film that takes place above sea is on a stage) and in Florida for the undersea scenes. Two individuals played the Gill-Man – Ben Chapman played the creature when it was on land (his feet were weighed down with lead in order to give the creature a shuffling walk) and Ricou Browning played the creature for the underwater scenes. Browning was a cave diver who helped give Arnold a tour of Florida during location scouting. His landing of the Gill-man role was completely by chance. It led to a fruitful career in Hollywood\, though. Among Browning’s later contributions to Hollywood would be creating the show FLIPPER. \nOne of the more interesting aspects of CREATURE OF THE BLACK LAGOON is the fact that it cast a scientist as the film’s hero. You have to remember that in the early part of the ‘50s\, scientists were more often than not cast as the villain. If a character was a scientist\, he was usually insane\, bent on world domination or just generally up to no good. CREATURE is remarkable in Richard Carlson’s portrayal of Dr. David Reed as an adventurous\, buff and heroic scientist. Essentially this was the same role he played in IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE – meaning Carlson\, Alland and Arnold are all partially to thank for the modern depiction of the hero scientist. \nAny talk about CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON would be incomplete without mention of Millicent Patrick. The design of the film’s monster was – by most accounts – a collaborative process. While Bud Westmore\, Universal’s head of the makeup department\,  would seek sole credit for the design of the Creature\, people who worked on the film describe Westmore’s involvement as strictly limited. Millicent Patrick\, a beautiful young woman who dabbled in such areas as design\, modeling\, animation and acting\, is said to have been the one to truly help finalize the look of the Creature as we know him today. When Westmore felt that she was getting too much credit in the press\, though\, he had her blackballed and – for all intents and purposes – drove her out of the design business. While Patrick would continue to act\, she never again contributed to a film’s production or costume design. Her fate is still a mystery – nobody quite knows what exactly became of her after she quit acting in the ‘60s. \n

SUMMARY:The Suitcase Junket [SOLD OUT]
DESCRIPTION:Live at THE STAGE DOOR\nThe Suitcase Junket is Matt Lorenz: artist\, tinkerer\, swamp yankee\, one-man band. His is the road-worn voice rising over the grind of a tube-amped dumpster guitar\, and the wild double pitches of throat singing. From Lorenz’ penchant for thrift and ingenuity comes this full-length Signature Sounds debut of original rock anthems\, mountain ballads\, blues manifestos and dance-hall festivity. It is magnificent\, rousing\, image-driven songwriting\, laid out on instruments built of broken bottles\, thrift store forks\, dried bones\, gas cans\, shoes\, saw blades\, a toy keyboard\, salvaged instruments\, and an overhead compartment’s worth of luggage.  \n \nMatt was raised in Cavendish\, Vermont\, the son of schoolteachers. He learned to sing by copying his sister Kate; the siblings are two-thirds of the touring trio Rusty Belle. Lorenz graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst\, Massachusetts\, in 2004\, having taught himself to throat-sing\, inspired by a South Indian cooking class. On moving day\, he pulled a guitar\, filled with mold and worse for wear\, from a dorm dumpster. He fixed it up and started pulling songs out of it. That was the beginning.    \nSince then\, The Suitcase Junket has built a powerful fan base in his native New England and far beyond. \nThe latest album from The Suitcase Junket\, Mean Dog\, Trampoline is populated by characters in various states of reverie: leaning on jukeboxes\, loitering on dance floors\, lying on the bottoms of empty swimming pools in the sun. Despite being deeply attuned to the chaos of the world\, singer/songwriter/ multi instrumentalist Matt Lorenz imbues those moments with joyful wonder\, an endless infatuation with life’s most subtle mysteries. And as its songs alight on everything from Joan Jett to moonshine to runaway kites\, Mean Dog\, Trampoline makes an undeniable case for infinite curiosity as a potent antidote to jadedness and despair. \nProduced by Steve Berlin (Jackie Greene\, Rickie Lee Jones\, Leo Kottke) of Los Lobos\, Mean Dog\, Trampoline marks a deliberate departure from the self recorded\, homespun approach of The Suitcase Junket’s previous efforts. In creating the album\, Lorenz pulled from a fantastically patchwork sonic palette\, shaping his songs with elements of jangly folk\, fuzzed out blues\, oddly textured psych rock. Engineered by Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr.\, Speedy Ortiz) and mixed by Vance Powell (Jack White\, Houndmouth)\, Mean Dog\, Trampoline rightly preserves The Suitcase Junket’s unkempt vitality\, but ultimately emerges as his most powerfully direct album so far.

SUMMARY:Todd Rundgren
DESCRIPTION:The Individualist Tour\nPeoples Bank Theatre welcomes legendary songwriter\, musician\, interactive artist\, producer and nominee for the Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame\, Todd Rundgren. \nBorn and raised in Philadelphia\, Rundgren began playing guitar as a teenager\, going on to found and front Nazz\, the quintessential `60s psychedelic group. In 1969\, he left the band to pursue a solo career\, recording his debut offering\, Runt. But it was 1972’s seminal Something/Anything?\, on which he played all the instruments\, sang all the vocal parts\, and acted as his own producer\, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight\, prompting the press to unanimously dub him ‘Rock’s New Wunderkind’. It was followed by such landmark LPs as The Hermit of Mink Hollow and A Wizard\, A True Star\, as well as such hit singles as I Saw The Light\, Hello It’s Me\, Can We Still Be Friends\, and Bang The Drum. \nRundgren’s myriad production projects include albums by Patti Smith\, Cheap Trick\, the Psychedelic Furs\, Meatloaf\, and XTC. Rounding out his reputation as rock’s renaissance man\, Rundgren composed all the music and lyrics for Joe Papp’s 1989 Off-Broadway production of Joe Orton’s Up Against It (the screenplay was commissioned by the Beatles for what was meant to be their third film). He also has composed the music for the hit film Dumb and Dumber\, as well as a number of television series\, including Pee Wee’s Playhouse and Crime Story. \nRundgren penned his first ever autobiography\, released December 2018\, reflecting on both his phenomenal career as well as his rollercoaster of a personal life with pages of recollections\, structured into bite-sized single-page three-paragraph chapters\, about encounters with rock royalty including Janis Joplin\, Brian Wilson\, Ringo Starr\, Patti Smith\, The NY Dolls\, and Meat Loaf along with numerous photos never before published. \nIn conjunction with the release\, Rundgren will be embarking on the world’s first hybrid concert/book tour this coming spring\, highlighting both hits and “deep tracks” spanning his 50- year career\, which will include shows in North America\, the UK\, Europe\, and Japan. \nConsistent with his history of innovation\, Todd writes in the introduction to his book: “So in order to get myself and the reader through this process with a minimum of chaos\, the book will take on the form of this page: [paragraph #1] a recollection of something that I witnessed\, [paragraph #2] a subjective assessment of my state of mind in either experiencing or remembering the episode (or a haphazard combination of both)\, and as in this 3rd paragraph\, a conclusion\, a statement of plain facts or simply soap-box proselytizing. I suggest scanning the book in whatever manner one’s taste and temperament dictate.” \nVIP Packages\nAvailable for purchase until May 30 \nTodd Rundgren – Front Row + Meet & Greet Package\nPackage price: $325 (Includes one Orchestra Pit ticket)\nNote: Select “Best Available” when ordering to access this option.\nPackage includes: \n\nOne Orchestra Pit ticket at the foot of the stage\nExclusive preshow meet & greet with Todd Rundgren\nPersonal photograph with Todd Rundgren\nHardcover copy of Todd Rundgren’s autobiography The Individualist; personally autographed by Todd\nThe Individualist bookmark\nSpecially designed Todd Rundgren tote bag\nExclusive Todd Rundgren VIP merchandise item\nOfficial meet & greet laminate\nOn-site VIP host\nVery limited availability\n\nTodd Rundgren – Meet & Greet Package\nPackage price: $250  (Includes one ticket) \n\nOne premium reserved ticket\nExclusive preshow meet & greet with Todd Rundgren\nPersonal photograph with Todd Rundgren\nHardcover copy of Todd Rundgren’s autobiography The Individualist; personally autographed by Todd\nThe Individualist bookmark\nSpecially designed Todd Rundgren tote bag\nExclusive Todd Rundgren VIP merchandise item\nOfficial meet & greet laminate\nOn-site VIP host\nVery limited availability\n\nTodd Rundgren – VIP Tour Package\nPackage price: $150 (Includes one ticket) \n\nOne premium reserved ticket\nHardcover copy of Todd Rundgren’s autobiography The Individualist; autographed by Todd\nThe Individualist bookmark\nSpecially designed Todd Rundgren tote bag\nExclusive Todd Rundgren VIP merchandise item\nCommemorative tour laminate\nOn-site VIP host\n\n*Seat Sponsors please note: Due to the nature of the artist’s contract and VIP package/fan club sales\, we cannot guarantee your sponsored seat will be available for this show.

SUMMARY:David McCullough: The Pioneers - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Marietta College presents an evening with Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David McCullough\, whose new book\, The Pioneers\, rediscovers an important and dramatic chapter in the American story—the settling of the Northwest Territory by dauntless pioneers who overcame incredible hardships to build a community based on ideals that would come to define our country. \nThere will not be a book signing at this event. Pre-signed and unsigned books will be available for purchase. For additional event information\, call the Marietta College Legacy Library at 740-376-4757. \nOverflow viewing:\nMarietta College will offer an overflow viewing area in the Alma McDonough Auditorium\, which is located on campus in the McDonough Center for Leadership and Business. Admission to McDonough for this event starts at 6:15 p.m.\, and will be available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Click here for full details. \nAbout the Book\nAs part of the Treaty of Paris\, in which Great Britain recognized the new United States of America\, Britain ceded the land that comprised the immense Northwest Territory\, a wilderness empire northwest of the Ohio River containing the future states of Ohio\, Indiana\, Illinois\, Michigan\, and Wisconsin. A Massachusetts minister named Manasseh Cutler was instrumental in opening this vast territory to veterans of the Revolutionary War and their families for settlement. Included in the Northwest Ordinance were three remarkable conditions: freedom of religion\, free universal education\, and most importantly\, the prohibition of slavery. In 1788 the first band of pioneers set out from New England for the Northwest Territory under the leadership of Revolutionary War veteran General Rufus Putnam. They settled in what is now Marietta on the banks of the Ohio River. \nMcCullough tells the story through five major characters: Cutler and Putnam; Cutler’s son Ephraim; and two other men\, one a carpenter turned architect\, and the other a physician who became a prominent pioneer in American science. They and their families created a town in a primeval wilderness\, while coping with such frontier realities as floods\, fires\, wolves and bears\, no roads or bridges\, no guarantees of any sort\, all the while negotiating a contentious and sometimes hostile relationship with the native people. Like so many of McCullough’s subjects\, they let no obstacle deter or defeat them. \nDrawn in great part from a rare and all-but-unknown collection of diaries and letters by the key figures\, The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments. This is a revelatory and quintessentially American story\, written with David McCullough’s signature narrative energy. \nAbout the author\nDavid McCullough has twice received the Pulitzer Prize\, for Truman and John Adams\, and twice received the National Book Award\, for The Path Between the Seas and Mornings on Horseback. His other acclaimed books include The Johnstown Flood\, The Great Bridge\, Brave Companions\, 1776\, The Greater Journey\, and The Wright Brothers. He is the recipient of numerous honors and awards\, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom\, the nation’s highest civilian award.

SUMMARY:Connie Smith
DESCRIPTION:Connie Smith is considered by many to be one of the best vocalists in country music history.  “Once a Day\,” “Just in Time\,” “Then and Only Then\,” and “Ain’t Had No Lovin’\,” are just a few of her many hits.  This Country Music Hall of Fame inductee has earned 11 Grammy nominations\, and landed on the Billboard Top Ten country singles charts 20 times. \nA Hall of Fame Lifetime of Singing\nDolly Parton once noted\, famously\, that there were just three real female singers around—Barbra Streisand\, Linda Ronstadt\, and Connie Smith. “The rest of us\,” she said\, “are only pretending.” It’s less-well known that when Connie Smith was introduced to Keith Richards\, he grabbed fellow Connie Smith fan (and Rolling Stone) Ron Wood and brought him up to meet her\, too\, exclaiming “She’s the real deal!” \nWhat the singers she’s been influencing for decades spot in Connie Smith’s performances—besides her genius for phrasing\, perfect diction and a vocal range which have all long been envied—is her fervent joy in singing itself\, her love for the emotional and physical act of letting loose a song\, which is as evident on her recordings as it is in front of audiences at the Grand Ole Opry\, on RFD TV’s weekly Marty Stuart Show\, or on the road. \nIn 2012\, Connie’s singular contributions to country music were recognized conclusively when she received the field’s highest honor\, induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. As the Hall’s inductee portrait says of her\, “Smith’s greatness extends beyond vocal brilliance. It encompasses her song selection\, her connection to great musicians (especially steel guitarists)\, her classy demeanor\, and a spiritual bearing that serves as her foundation. Connie Smith is one of country music’s most admired artists not because of one of her talents\, but because of how they form such a distinct whole.” \nMerle Haggard said\, as he conducted her induction her into the\, “I can’t remember any of Connie’s records that I didn’t like. I admire her sincerity and her spirit and her commitment to traditional country music. If you’re talking about a country singer\, there just isn’t any better.” \nMerle singled out “Long Line of Heartaches\,” Connie’s most recent recording\, as a special favorite. In recent decades\, the appearance of a new Connie Smith record has been a rare\, much-anticipated event; Long Line of Heartaches on Sugar Hill\, is her first since 1996 and only her second since 1978\, and her 53rd album to date. Still the urge to sing and share the joy she finds in doing it has never waned. \n“I may have put off making a new record for quite a while\,” Connie says\, “but I still love to sing just as much as I ever did. I really feel that it’s my destiny; I heard the saying\, one time\, ‘Do what God tells you ’til he tells you something else\,’ and He hasn’t told me anything else yet. So I think I’ll still be singing till I hear different!” \nWhat she sings on this return to disc is the same broad range of traditional country moods\, themes\, rhythms and sounds that marked her remarkable run of hit records and classic country albums in the 1960s and ’70s. Keeping that music alive\, well and in the public ear was an important motivation in breaking this most recent recording hiatus: \n“I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Nashville in the early sixties. It was a magical time in country music; country artists were encouraged to bring their individuality and culture to the microphone\, not to back away from them\, and the songwriters of the era were just the best. But I feel that the music as it was has been slipping away—and much\, much faster than I’m ready for. The only thing I know to do about it now is to keep singing what I’ve always loved.” \nConnie has always been the sort of singer who\, much as Frank Sinatra did in saloon singer pop\, emphasizes crediting the writers who created the emotionally direct songs she chooses to sing. Songs by songwriters she’s long favored\, including icons Bill Anderson\, Harlan Howard\, Johnny Russell\, Kostas\, and Dallas Frazier (whose “A Heart Like You” on this record was one of the first he’d written in 30 years\, and the 69th Frazier song Connie’s had on record) are featured on this new release. Her own songwriting\, which had been something she’d found little time for early in her career\, came more to the foreground when she began co-writing with Marty Stuart; five of their collaborations appear on Long Line of Heartaches\, including the title track. \n“I had written a few of the songs I and others had recorded over the years\, but I’d never even begun to think I could write enough to do a whole album. Marty believed I could. We found other good songs\, too; it can be a bad idea to only do your own songs. I don’t cut a song because Bill\, Harlan\, Dallas or I wrote it\, I cut it because I think it’s the best song that I can find at the time.” \n“If I hadn’t had Marty as producer and Mick Conley\, as outr engineer\, working with me\, this record couldn’t have happened like it did. When we got 5 of the songs Marty and I wrote coupled with the 7 great songs from other writers\, we got serious and knew it was time to record. The songs had to come first. Then the work was just a joy. \nA first-time occurrence on this album is the appearance of Connie’s daughters Julie\, Jeanne and Jodi with her\, adding striking family harmonies to the contemporary hymn “Take My Hand.” “My five kids all know every word to every one of my songs\,” Connie notes\, “and we always sang at home. You’ll hear that my daughters are really good; they just never had the desire to be professionals. Neither did my two sons\, Darren and Kerry\, who also sing well.” \nThat Connie Smith always prioritized family life over career (and with no conflict about that\, she notes) is one reason she may be better known in the households of long-time traditional country music lovers than some others. She’d taken a break from appearances and recording to raise those kids\, and\, as she puts it “never went back into business in full force\,” though she has been a much-loved mainstay at the Grand Ole Opry. \nIt is a Nashville legend that Connie’s first record\, the aching and unforgettable “Once a Day\,” written by Bill Anderson and recorded on July 16\, 1964 when she was just 23\, became one of the most celebrated singles in country music history—the first debut single by a female country singer to go to Number One\, a position it held for eight weeks. Forty-seven years later it is still the only first single ever to have done that. When Connie sang “Once A Day” in the all-star B-movie musical Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar the following year\, she was introduced on-screen as “The Cinderella of Country Music.” “Once A Day\,” and her stunning rendition of “How Great Thou Art” remain the two most requested songs by her fans to this day. Connie’s memorable string of hits would include “You and Your Sweet Love” “If It Ain’t Love” “Where Is My Castle?” “Run Away Little Tears” “Just One Time” and “I Never Once Stopped Loving You.” \nThe passion for singing and for the songs\, and the singular vocal precision in delivering them that marked those standards-to-be are fully on display in this return to recording. “If you add up all the songs on this album\,” Connie Smith says\, “it would add up to my personality. It’s me talking again\, after so many years\, with a message no different than I’ve always had. It’s just that I love you\, and I want that love to come back.”

SUMMARY:Chicago - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 6:30 p.m.\nSinger/songwriter Tim Stop to open at 7:15 p.m.\nChicago in concert at 8:00 p.m. \nChicago comes to Marietta! For our 100th Anniversary\, Peoples Bank presents Chicago in one of the most intimate settings they’ve ever played. \nHailed as one of the “most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era\,” Chicago came in at #4 in Billboard Magazine’s recent Top Bands And Duos\, the highest charting American band in the chart’s history. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016\, Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. \nChicago’s first album\, Chicago Transit Authority\, was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 2014\, and the band performed on the Grammy stage for the first time that year. \nRobert Lamm and James Pankow have become the latest inductees of the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2017. These legendary songwriters wrote mega-hits such as\, “25 or 6 to 4\,” “Saturday In The Park\,” “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day\,” “Make Me Smile\,” and many others. \nMore than 40 years after its debut\, Chicago still sounds like nothing else. Released in 1970\, Chicago’s second album brims with confidence and inspiration as it draws on everything from orchestral music to heavy rock. It spawned a trio of Top Ten hits\, and the timeless classic has been remastered to reveal unprecedented clarity and definition. For the first time a new stereo remix\, created by British musician and producer Steven Wilson from the 16-track multi-track tapes\, made it possible to bring out elements that were muffled or submerged in the mix. The result is a new stereo version of CHICAGO II that boasts clearness\, punch and definition that it didn’t have before. It has recently been released by Rhino Records on CD and vinyl. \nCHICAGO’s award-winning documentary film\, Now More Than Ever: The History Of Chicago premiered on CNN. The documentary film was originally shown at the Sedona International Film Festival in February\, 2016\, and won the Film Festival’s Best of Fest Audience Choice Award. The band opened the festival with back-to-back sold-out performances. \nAdditionally\, Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago won three awards in April\, 2016\, at the 10th Annual Fort Myers Beach Film Festival\, taking home top prizes in the Documentary and Audience Award categories. Director Peter Pardini was awarded the festival’s Rising Star Award in direction and was on hand to accept all three awards. Earlier that month the documentary was the runner-up for Audience Award at the Sarasota Film Festival. \nChicago’s newest record of new studio tracks\, “NOW” CHICAGO XXXVI\, was released on Frontiers Records. It includes eleven brand new songs\, recorded on the road. Chicago has built a new recording system that is flexible\, portable\, powerful and musical. This new “recording rig” travels with the band. They have even created an online collaboration portal that allows even more performances to be worked on around the clock from remote locations. The CD package is a six-panel digipack with a beautiful 16-page full color lyric booklet. \nChicago’s lifetime achievements include two Grammy Awards\, two American Music Awards\, Founding Artists of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts\, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame\, a Chicago street dedicated in their honor\, and keys to and proclamations from an impressive list of US cities. Record sales top the 100\,000\,000 mark\, and include 21 Top 10 singles\, 5 consecutive Number One albums\, 11 Number One singles and 5 Gold singles. An incredible 25 of their 36 albums have been certified platinum\, and the band has a total of 47 gold and platinum awards. \nChicago have toured every year since the beginning – they’ve never missed a year.

The band line-up also includes Wally Reyes\, Jr. on drums\, Keith Howland on guitar and vocals\, Lou Pardini on keyboards and vocals\, Ray Herrmann on sax and flute\, Neil Donell on vocals\, Brett Simons on bass and Ramon “Ray” Yslas on percussion. \nFor five years\, Chicago raised over a quarter of a million dollars to fight breast cancer for the American Cancer Society by having a winning bidder come on stage and sing “If You Leave Me Now” in concert. Chicago generously support other charitable causes\, donating a portion of ticket sales to Kelly Cares\, established by Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly and his wife Paqui\, to support local\, national and global organizations that strive to improve their communities in the areas of health and education. Portions of ticket sales also benefit the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation\, which seeks a cure for a fatal children’s disease\, Niemann-Pick Type C. Chicago manager Peter Schivarelli\, who played football for Coach Parseghian\, is on Notre Dame’s Board Of Directors for their Athletic Commission. Chicago has also associated with Hannah & Friends\, an organization that serves children and adults with special needs. Hannah & Friends is the personal mission of Maura Weis and her husband\, Charlie Weis\, the former coach at the University of Kansas. \nFrom the signature sound of the Chicago horns\, their iconic Vocalists\, and a few dozen of ever-Classic Songs\, this band’s concerts are celebrations. 2019 marks the band’s 52nd consecutive year of touring\, without missing a single concert date! \nChicago continue to be true ambassadors for their beloved hometown\, carrying the city’s name with pride and dignity around the world. \n\n*Seat Sponsors please note: Due to the nature of the artist’s contract and fan club sales\, we cannot guarantee your sponsored seat will be available for this show.

SUMMARY:Lewis Black
DESCRIPTION:The Joke’s On Us Tour\nLewis Black\, Grammy Award-winning\, stand-up comedian\, is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as a stand-up comedian\, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim\, he performs more than 200 nights annually\, to sold-out audiences throughout Europe\, New Zealand\, Canada and the United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple renowned theaters\, including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, Brooks Atkinson Theatre\, New York City Center\, the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas and most recently\, a sold-out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City. \nHis live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than a mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world. \nWho Is Lewis Black? \nKnown as the king of the rant\, LEWIS BLACK uses his trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing to skewer anything and anyone that gets under his skin. His comedic brilliance lies in his ability to make people laugh at the absurdities of life\, with topics that include current events\, social media\, politics and anything else that exposes the hypocrisy and madness he sees in the world. \nReceiving critical acclaim as a stand-up\, actor and author\, Lewis Black has performed for audiences throughout Europe\, New Zealand\, Canada and the United States. In 2012\, he performed eight sell-out shows at Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway. \nBorn in Washington D.C. on Aug. 30\, 1948\, Lewis Black was raised in Silver Spring\, Md. Colicky as a baby\, he was destined to be angry and easily irritated. His mother\, a teacher\, and his father\, a mechanical engineer\, instilled the importance of education and the necessity to question authority—lessons that influenced Black throughout his life. He fell in love with the theatre at age 12\, after seeing his first play\, which led to pursuing a career in drama. Degrees followed from the University of North Carolina and Yale Drama School\, with a stint in Colorado owning a theatre with a group of friends in the interim. During his tenure at UNC\, Black ventured into stand-up\, performing at Cat’s Cradle in Chapel Hill. Stand-up was a steady presence as he pursued his career in theatre. \nLewis Black eventually settled in New York City and became the playwright-in-residence at the West Bank Café’s Downstairs Theatre Bar. He oversaw the development of more than 1\,000 plays\, including works by “West Wing” creator Aaron Sorkin\, “American Beauty” writer Alan Ball\, as well as his own original works. In addition to overseeing the works on stage\, Black emceed every show. As the West Bank grew\, so did Black’s stand-up skills. He left the West Bank in the late 1980s to pursue stand-up full time. \nIn 1996\, his friend Lizz Winstead tapped him to create a weekly segment for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” The segment\, a three-minute rant about whatever was bothering him at the moment\, evolved into Back in Black\, becoming one of the most popular and longest-running segments on the show for both the Jon Stewart era\, and now The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.  Black has also taped four specials for the “Comedy Central Presents” series\, co-created “Last Laugh with Lewis Black” and presided over “Lewis Black’s The Root of All Evil.” His popular appearances on Comedy Central helped to win him Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards in 2001. \nIncreased exposure from “The Daily Show” generated a record deal with Stand Up! Records. His first CD\, “The White Album\,” was released in 2000 to critical acclaim. Black followed with eight more—six under the Comedy Central Records label. He has received five Grammy® nominations and two wins for his work. The first nomination came in 2006 for “Luther Burbank Performing Arts Center Blues\,” the second in 2009 for “Anticipation.” In 2007 he won the Grammy for Best Comedy Album for “The Carnegie Hall Performance\,” and again in 2011 for “Stark Raving Black.” His 2012 release\, “In God We Rust” (Comedy Central Records) was also nominated for a Grammy. \nLewis Black has filmed two specials for HBO\, including “Black On Broadway” and “Red\, White and Screwed.” The latter was nominated for an Emmy® in 2007. He had a regular feature for two seasons on “Inside the NFL” (for which he earned a Sports Emmy) and in 2006\, he was asked to participate in “Comic Relief.” \nIn 2009 Lewis filmed his first feature length concert film\, “Stark Raving Black\,” at the Fillmore Theatre in Detroit. The film had a limited run in theaters across the U.S. and Canada in the summer of 2010. At the end of the theater run\, premium movie channel EpixHD picked up the film for its channel\, along with the accompanying documentary\, “Basic Black.” Both are aired regularly and can be found in the EpixHD on-demand queue. In 2011\, he produced his second full-length concert\, “In God We Rust\,” which also airs on EpixHD. In August 2013\, Black recorded his ninth stand-up special “Old Yeller: Live At The Borgata.” \nIn 2015\, Black joined the cast of Madoff (ABC mini series). Black portrays  Ezra Merkin\, who\, after investing with Madoff and receiving great returns\, brought many famous and well-to-do Jewish clients\, including Elie Weisel and The Hadassah Organization\, to Bernie’s fold. \nBlack has appeared on “Larry King Live\,” “Piers Morgan Tonight\,” “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon\,” “The Late Show with David Letterman\,” “Late Night with Conan O’ Brian” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” Black has also had numerous appearances on CNN and MSNBC and has occasionally done the weather with Al Roker. \nIn the midst of a rigorous touring schedule\, regular TV appearances and movie roles\, Black has written three best-selling books: “Nothing’s Sacred” (Simon and Schuster\, 2005)\, “Me of Little Faith” (Riverhead Books\, 2008) and “I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas” (Riverhead Books\, 2010). All garnered critical praise as well commercial success and spent numerous weeks on the New York Times best sellers list. \nBlack has penned more than 40 plays\, many of which have been produced around the country. “The Deal\,” a dark comedy about business\, was made into a short film in 1998 and picked up by the Sundance Channel. In 2011\, his play “One Slight Hitch” was produced at the Williamstown Theatre Festival and then again in 2012 at both the ACT Theatre in Seattle and The George Street Theatre in New Brunswick. \nIn 2006\, Black had a break-out year as an actor\, co-starring with Robin Williams in Barry Levinson’s “Man of the Year” (Universal Pictures). He also appeared as “the fake dean of a fake college” in Steve Pink’s “Accepted” (Universal Pictures) and as the harried airport manager in Paul Feig’s “Unaccompanied Minors” (Warner Bros.). He lent his voice to Jimmy in Bob Saget’s parody “Farce of the Penguins” (Thinkfilm). \nIn 2015\,  Black notably voiced the character “Anger” in the Academy Award winning film from Pixar\, “Inside Out.” The film is about an 11-year-old-girl\, Riley\, who is dealing with a move across the country\, and wrestling with the emotions inside her head: Joy (Amy Poehler)\, Sadness (Phyllis Smith)\, Fear (Bill Hader)\, Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and\, Lewis Black. Early film pitches actually named the comedian to illustrate how an iconic voice like Black’s could bring a character like Anger to life. Black\, who’s a fan of all things Pixar\, calls the opportunity a career-defining role. “I knew from the very beginning that this was going to be special\,” he says. “I’ll be remembered as this little red guy who yells and his head goes on fire.” \nAs a long time mentor with the 52nd Street Project\, Black was roasted in Charred Black 2007\, which drew the largest fundraising numbers in the Project’s history. He’s a member of their advisory board\, is co-chair of their capital campaign\, and in 2000\, the Ron Black Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in memory of his late brother. Black is also committed to raising funds for the Rusty Magee Clinic for Families and Health. He’s a strong supporter of both the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Autism Speaks and was honored by The Brady Center for his commitment to ending gun violence. In 2012\, he was honored by the ACLU of Georgia with their National Civil Liberties Award. At the Williamstown Theatre Festival\, he established the William Foeller Fellowship\, having taught and performed at the festival for more than a decade. Black also supports our military personnel and has performed in three tours with the USO\, visiting several Middle Eastern and European military bases with Robin Williams\, Lance Armstrong\, Kid Rock\, Miss America Rachel Smith and Kellie Pickler. \nBlack resides in both Manhattan and Chapel Hill\, N.C. Still loyal to his alma mater\, he’s worked with UNC students to create the Carolina Comedy Festival\, a yearly festival on the UNC campus that highlights performances and provides workshops and lectures for budding comics\, writers and performers. With his involvement at UNC\, Black continues a life-long commitment to education and the arts. He continues to tour heavily\, playing countless dates each year and providing a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. In his leisure time\, Black likes to play golf\, even though golf hates him.

SUMMARY:Anthony Mossburg & Joshua Lee
DESCRIPTION:The Stage Door Listening Room Series\nPart of the 2nd Annual First Settlement Festival. \nJoin us at The Stage Door for an intimate listening room concert with Anthony Mossburg and Joshua Lee. Only 50 tickets will be sold. Earlier in the day\, stop by The Stage Door for music by some of the roving musicians participating in First Settlement Fest! Watch The Stage Door and First Settlement Festival Facebook page for details and schedule. \nAnthony Mossburg\n \nEight years.  \nFour original albums.   \nThousands of shows around the country.   \nThree years after picking up a guitar in a college dorm room\, Anthony Mossburg left the stability of a full-time job to chase after the only thing that made him feel alive; music. \nWhat followed over the next eight years was a series of accolades\, achievements\, risks\, near-misses\, and setbacks that indefinitely shaped him as an artist and a person. With several bootstrap tours and three independent albums under his belt\, Anthony is now living in Columbus\, Ohio\, and is headlining shows around the country. \nHis breakthrough song\, “Whiskey and Wine”\, introduced a new sound to his avid fanbase\, and shed a light into his evolution as an artist. The hard work and risks didn’t go unnoticed. Early in 2015\, the song broke into the Top 10 on coveted iTunes Singer/Songwriter category. \nNow\, he is squaring his sights on introducing his soulful voice\, gutsy lyrics\, and melodic tones into a new direction that will push his creative talent like never before. This is just the beginning. \nWebsite: http://www.anthonymossburg.com/ \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthony.mossburg \nInstagram: http://instagram.com/amossburg \nJoshua Lee\n \nAfter 14 years of fifteen-passenger vans\, tour buses\, and side man gigs\, Joshua Lee left Nashville with his young family and headed to West Virginia\, trading screaming fans for screaming kids. After a difficult transition\, Lee nearly left the music life behind entirely\, but he began to write again and in doing so found his own musical voice. In his old life\, Lee might have sought collaborators to start a band\, but having difficulty finding enough like-minded musicians\, he focused instead on discovering himself as a solo artist\, something he’d never tried before. Playing solo shows in the Ohio Valley area led to a new confidence in his ability as a singer-songwriter and to a new group of musical collaborators. \nOn his debut EP\, Promise Land (June 2017)\, Joshua wrestles with questions of loss and cautiously reaches for hope rather than despair. Recorded mostly at home\, and self-produced along with Trae Gunter (Randy Montana\, Jacob Thomas Jr.)\, he finds himself searching for his own sound by mining the territories of folk rock and heartland rock and blending in synths and ambient guitars. Hints of The National supplement more traditional song forms in the spirit of Ryan Adams and Tom Petty. \nNow based in Marietta\, Ohio\, Joshua Lee is performing solo and full band in the Mid-Ohio Valley region as he’s beginning work on his next project. \nWebsite: http://joshualeemusic.com/ \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/imightbejoshualee/ \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/imightbejoshualee/ \n  \nBefore & After the concert: First Settlement Festival\n \nThe year 2018 marked Marietta’s 230th birthday. The Galley was participating in Marietta Main Street’s First Friday (Marietta’s Birthday Party) but The Adelphia wanted to get involved in a big way as well. The First Settlement Festival was born. \nThe main idea behind the First Settlement Festival is to invite people downtown to celebrate all that Historic Marietta has to offer. Seeing busking bands gives Marietta an Austin or Seattle feel\, and it also draws people into our amazing selection of boutique shops. Meanwhile\, all-day entertainment is hosted on The Adelphia main stage\, with entertainment starting at noon and continuing all the way to Midnight.

SUMMARY:Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder
DESCRIPTION:With Johnny Staats & The Delivery Boys to open \nFourteen-time GRAMMY Award-winner Ricky Skaggs’ career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history. If Skaggs’ burgeoning trophy case full of awards wasn’t already enough evidence enough of that fact\, consider that legendary guitarist Chet Atkins once credited Skaggs with “single-handedly saving country music.” His life’s path has taken him to various musical genres\, from where it all began in bluegrass music\, to striking out on new musical journeys\, while still leaving his musical roots intact. Skaggs legendary album\, Bluegrass Rules! swept major music awards\, topped the charts\, and cemented his reputation for bringing the genre to the masses. He\, along with Kentucky Thunder\, are 8-time winners of the International Bluegrass Music Association Instrumental Group of the Year. Skaggs struck his first chords on a mandolin over 50 years ago\, and he continues to do his part to lead the recent roots revival in music. Clearly his passion for it puts him in the position to bring his lively\, distinctively American form of music out of isolation and into the ears and hearts of audiences across the country and around the world. Ricky Skaggs is always forging ahead with cross-cultural\, genre-bending musical ideas and inspirations. \nA Lifetime of Music\nWith 12 consecutive Grammy-nominated classics behind him\, all from his own Skaggs Family Records label (Bluegrass Rules! in 1998\, Ancient Tones in 1999\, History of the Future in 2001\, Soldier of the Cross\, Live at the Charleston Music Hall\, and Big Mon: The Songs of Bill Monroe in 2003\, Brand New Strings in 2005\, Instrumentals in 2007\, Salt of the Earth with The Whites in 2008\, Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass: Tribute to 1946 and 1947 in 2009 and Ricky Skaggs Solo: Songs My Dad Loved along with Mosaic in 2010)\, the diverse and masterful tones made by the gifted Skaggs come from a life dedicated to playing music that is both fed by the soul and felt by the heart. \nRicky was born on July 18\, 1954 in Cordell\, Kentucky\, and received his first mandolin at the age of five after his father\, Hobert\, heard him harmonizing with his mother from across the house as he played with his toys. Two weeks after teaching him the G\, C and D chords\, Hobert returned from working out of town shocked to see his young son making chord changes and singing along. He soon earned a reputation among the locals in his community. When the legendary Bill Monroe came to Martha\, Kentucky for a performance\, the crowd wouldn’t let up until “Little Ricky Skaggs” got up to play. The father of bluegrass called six- year-old Skaggs up and placed his own mandolin around his neck\, adjusting the strap to fit his small frame. No one could have imagined what a defining moment that would be in the life of the young prodigy. By age seven\, Skaggs performed with bluegrass legends Flatt & Scruggs on their popular syndicated television show\, for which he earned his first paycheck for a musical performance. \nIn 1971\, he entered the world of professional music full-time with his friend\, the late country singer\, Keith Whitley\, when the two young musicians were invited to join the band of bluegrass patriarch Ralph Stanley. Ricky soon began to build a reputation for creativity and excitement through live appearances and recordings with acts such as J.D. Crowe & the New South. He performed on the band’s 1975 debut album for Rounder Records\, which is widely regarded as one of the most influential bluegrass albums ever made. A stint as a bandleader with Boone Creek followed\, bringing the challenges of leadership while giving him further recording and performing experience. \nIn the late 1970’s\, Ricky turned his attention to country music. Though still in his 20’s\, the wealth of experience and talent he possessed served him well\, first as a member of Emmylou Harris’ Hot Band and later as an individual recording artist on his own. With the release of Waitin’ for the Sun to Shine in 1981\, Skaggs reached the top of the country charts and remained there throughout most of the 1980’s\, resulting in a total of 12 #1 hits. In 1982\, he became a member of the Grand Ole Opry\, the youngest to ever be inducted at that time. As his popularity soared\, he garnered eight awards from the Country Music Association (CMA)\, including “Entertainer of the Year” in 1985\, four Grammy Awards and dozens of other honors. These achievements also placed him front and center in the neo-traditionalist movement\, bringing renewed vitality and prominence to a sound that had been somewhat subdued by the commercialization of the ‘Urban Cowboy’ fad. Renowned guitarist and producer\, Chet Atkins\, even credited Skaggs with “single-handedly” saving country music. \nIn 1997\, after Ricky’s then-current recording contract was coming to an end\, he made the decision to establish his own record label – Skaggs Family Records. Since then\, Skaggs and his band Kentucky Thunder have released an amazing 12 consecutive Grammy-nominated classics (8 of which went on to earn the revered award) while also opening the label to a variety of other musical artists\, all the time keeping emphasis on bluegrass and other forms of roots music. Ricky and Skaggs Family Records have had the privilege of working with many musical talents\, including the Del McCoury Band\, Jerry and Tammy Sullivan\, Blue Highway\, The Whites\, Mountain Heart\, Melonie Cannon\, Ryan Holladay\, Keith Sewell\, Cherryholmes and Cadillac Sky. \nRicky’s first release for Skaggs Family Records\, Bluegrass Rules!\, set a new standard for bluegrass\, breaking new sales records in the genre\, winning Skaggs his sixth Grammy Award and earning the International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA) Album of the Year Award. In 1999\, his second all-bluegrass album\, Ancient Tones\, won a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album – his second consecutive Grammy in that same category. Just one year later\, Ricky won his eighth Grammy Award in the Best Southern\, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album category for Soldier of the Cross\, his first all-gospel project with his band Kentucky Thunder. \nRicky made further progress with the release of his fourth bluegrass album in 2000\, Big Mon: The Songs of Bill Monroe\, a project which featured an all-star cast of musicians ranging from Dolly Parton\, Patty Loveless and Travis Tritt to Joan Osborne\, John Fogerty and Bruce Hornsby\, and celebrated the music and the life of Ricky’s mentor\, Bill Monroe. Big Mon received much critical acclaim\, including a Grammy nomination for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. The album was re-released by Lyric Street Records in 2002 under a new name\, Ricky Skaggs and Friends Sing the Songs of Bill Monroe. His fifth bluegrass album\, History of the Future (2001)\, a timeless collection of both traditional bluegrass standards and newly conceived acoustic gems received rave reviews and industry accolades\, including a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album and an IBMA nomination for Album of the Year\, once again placing Skaggs among the leading innovators in the genre. \nSkaggs’ first all-live album with Kentucky Thunder\, Live at the Charleston Music Hall (2003) led to an IBMA Award for Instrumental Group of the Year – an award Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder has taken home 8 times in the last decade. The decision to record a live album was an obvious one for Skaggs. From a string of high-profile tour dates with the Dixie Chicks in 2000\, to his position as host of the unprecedented “All*Star Bluegrass Celebration” which aired nationwide on PBS in 2002\, to his participation in the wildly successful 41-city ‘Down from the Mountain’ tour – Ricky has become one of bluegrass’ most dynamic and sought-after live performers. Live at the Charleston Music Hall was honored in 2004 with a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group for the Harley Allen-penned track\, “A Simple Life.” \nHe counts the current configuration of Kentucky Thunder among the best group of musicians he has ever worked with. “This group of guys meets my approval every night\,” Ricky says. “Each and every one of the pickers in Kentucky Thunder totally amazes me in every show…and that\, to me\, outweighs any award we could ever win.” The all-star lineup of Kentucky Thunder includes Paul Brewster (tenor vocals\, rhythm guitar)\, Russ Carson (banjo)\, Jake Workman (lead guitar)\, Mike Barnett (fiddle)\, Dennis Parker (baritone vocals\, guitar) and Jeff Picker (bass\, bass vocals). \nIn 2005\, Ricky earned his 10th career Grammy (Best Bluegrass Album) for Brand New Strings – a beautiful collection of music featuring four Skaggs originals as well as several tunes by some of his most admired contemporaries\, including Harley Allen\, Guy Clark and Shawn Camp. In 2006\, Skaggs was honored with a Grammy Award – this time in the Best Musical Album for Children category – for his contribution to Songs from the Neighborhood: the Music of Mister Rogers. Greater success followed with the release of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder Instrumentals\, an album of all-original\, all- instrumental material in the fall of 2006. Praised by fans and critics alike as a landmark album for Skaggs\, Instrumentals debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s bluegrass album chart and earned Ricky his 12th career Grammy Award (Best Bluegrass Album). \nCross pollination has been a mainstay throughout Ricky’s career\, from his weekly collaborations with various artists as host of The Nashville Network’s Monday Night Concerts in the 1990’s to his recent pairings with Bruce Hornsby and The Whites. Released in March of 2007\, Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby (Sony/Legacy) drew from the deep roots in mountain music – adding piano and Hornsby’s inimitable songwriting to the core bluegrass lineup of mandolin\, guitar\, bass\, fiddle and banjo. A major ‘CMT Crossroads’ special coincided with the album’s release. \nHis next recorded project\, released in September of 2007 on Skaggs Family Records\, was a literal family affair. After years of blending their voices from the living room to the stage\, Ricky Skaggs and The Whites teamed up for their first collaborative gospel album\, Salt of the Earth\, which resulted in a 13th career Grammy Award for Best Southern\, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album\, followed by a Gospel Music Association Dove Award for Bluegrass Recorded Album of the Year and Inspirational Country Music Awards for Musician of the Year as well as Mainstream Country Artist of the Year and Inspirational Bluegrass Artist of the Year (with The Whites). \nIn 2008\, Skaggs paid tribute to the man he has often referred to as his “musical father”\, Bill Monroe\, and the original lineup of the Bluegrass Boys (Earl Scruggs\, Lester Flatt\, Chubby Wise and Howard Watts) with the release of Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass: Tribute to 1946 and 1947\, earning a 14th career Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album. \nA musical father in his own right\, Skaggs continued on the full circle path with the addition of a ReIssue Series of his groundbreaking country music masterworks to the Skaggs Family Records catalog in 2009. Beginning with 1982’s Highways & Heartaches\, and followed by 1981’s Waitin’ for the Sun to Shine and 1983’s Don’t Cheat in Our Hometown\, the ReIssue Series will include nine albums total and includes bonus retrospectives with each release\, which feature Ricky\, in his own words\, sharing never-before-told stories about the making of each project. \nSkaggs’ first-ever solo album\, Ricky Skaggs Solo: Songs My Dad Loved (2009)\, celebrated the man that caused him to fall in love with music – his father\, Hobert Skaggs. He elaborates\, “If I could’ve gotten my dad into the studio\, this is how I would’ve wanted him to sound.” Playing every instrument and singing every note on the album\, Ricky brought raw\, emotional honesty to the songs. By coming home to the music that meant so much to him as a child\, Ricky tapped into a wellspring of passion that is channeled into every tune\, as though he willed himself back to his family’s house in Kentucky. Solo was honored in the American roots field with a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Folk Album in 2010. \nRicky Skaggs’ album\, Mosaic (2010)\, marked a return to a full band sound that mixed elements of Country music with Beatles-esque melody and lyrics that spoke to Skaggs’ faith\, “making music that is in my head and in my heart\,” as Ricky said. Grammy winning songwriter/producer Gordon Kennedy\, who co-wrote Eric Clapton’s “Change the World\,” was instrumental as co-producer and writer. This most special album hooks the heart\, as the sounds invite you in to take notice and come closer. They blended their talents and love of music with their love for the Lord to create this distinctive collaboration of writing and talent\, unparalleled in strength of genius. The song\, “Return to Sender” from Mosaic was nominated for a Grammy for Best Gospel Song\, and the album was a contender for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album at the 53rd Grammy Awards\, receiving major critical acclaim. \nMarking Ricky’s 50th year in music was the release of Country Hits Bluegrass Style (2011)\, a compilation of many of Skaggs’ #1 country hits and fan favorites played in a bluegrass style. Combining his country and bluegrass roots along with Ricky’s impeccable tenor voice\, his eight time IBMA Instrumental Band of the Year\, Kentucky Thunder\, and some of Ricky’s original award-winning country band alumni together with special friends added to the magic of this release. \nLong awaited by country and bluegrass music fans alike\, Music To My Ears (2012) included fresh new bluegrass tunes co-written by Skaggs along with a brand new instrumental. Many bluegrass standards were incorporated and added to its charm. The album featured a duet with Ricky Skaggs and Barry Gibb (of Bee Gees fame) on deeply moving “Soldier’s Son\,” along with a new bluegrass treasure “You Can’t Hurt Ham\,” inspired by a true story of Mr. Bill Monroe. \nIn 2013\, music legends Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby came together again for a live album\, titled Cluck Ol’ Hen. Bluegrass treasures and lively expanded hits are to be discovered on this fresh collection of songs from the masterful duo of Skaggs and Hornsby. These live songs were originally recorded when the two music icons first hit the tour circuit together. Hornsby’s spirited piano brings a new dimension to these songs\, with electrifying solos and improvisation thrown in the mix of Skaggs\, Hornsby and Skaggs’ band\, Kentucky Thunder. A string of tour dates coincided with the release\, including a stop at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville\, Tenn. \nWith the release of Hearts Like Ours (2014)\, a dream came true for Ricky Skaggs and his wife\, celebrated artist Sharon White of The Whites. Previously in 1987 the pair won a CMA Vocal Duo of the Year award for “Love Can’t Ever Get Better Than This\,” but White was touring with her family band and Skaggs was on fire with his solo career\, so releasing a full project wasn’t possible at the time. This first-ever studio album was produced by Skaggs and White and features the couple dueting on handpicked country love songs. \nAs a musician\, Skaggs is a brilliant traditionalist but is also willing to mix genres\, recording and touring with many different artists such as Bruce Hornsby and Ry Cooder. With dates in 2015\, Ry Cooder\, Sharon White and Ricky Skaggs embarked upon the critically acclaimed ‘Cooder-White-Skaggs – Songs for the Good People’ tour that featured the trio singing gospel\, blues and country along with superior musicianship. Backing the trio was Mark Fain on bass\, Ry’s son Joachim Cooder on drums\, with Sharon’s father Buck White on piano and sister Cheryl White’s harmony vocals. Stops crossing the country included Berklee Performance Center in Boston and Carnegie Hall in New York\, with tour dates continuing into 2016. Most recently\, Skaggs has added Country tour dates as he plugs in and plays full shows of his chart-topping hits \nSkaggs has also demonstrated wizardry in the studio\, producing not only his records but sets from acts such as The Whites and Dolly Parton\, as well as the recent Love Remains disc from Hillary Scott & The Scott Family\, which won him his 15th Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album as a producer. \nAll of these talents and gifts has culminated in country music’s greatest honor\, as Skaggs was chosen to be forever immortalized in the prestigious Country Music Hall of Fame as a member of the class of 2018. \nJohnny Staats & The Delivery Boys\n \nBorn and raised in West Virginia Johnny Staats caught the bluegrass bug early. With his mother playing piano\, his father playing guitar\, and his sister on the banjo\, it seemed only natural that he would get his first mandolin at the age of seven. By the age of nine\, he was in his first band\, and in his teens he began appearing at local competitions. When he graduated from high school in 1988\, he married and took a job as a U.P.S. deliveryman\, but he continued to play and attend bluegrass festivals in his spare time. He won he Ohio State Guitar Championship in 1992 and again in 1993. In 1995\, his Crossroads Band won the band competition at Winterhawk\, NY\, and he won the guitar competition at MerleFest. He took the mandolin championship a the Vandalia Gathering in Charleston\, WV\, in 1996\, 1997\, and 1999; in 1997\, he also won the guitar championship and came in third in the fiddle championship. With that\, he was featured on the Mountain Stage radio series and people in Nashville began touting his talents. After recording a series of demos with Nashville bluegrass stars\, he was signed to Giant Records\, which released his debut album\, Wires & Wood\, in 2000. “Wires and Wood” demonstrates Johnny’s dazzlling mandolin and expressive voice with a stellar cast of bluegrass legends including: John Cowan\, Sam Bush\, Jerry Douglas\, Jim Hurst\, and Tim O’Brien. Other co-stars on the CD were Sara Evans and Kathy Mattea. \nTo date\, Staats continues to head out every day in his big brown UPS truck\, and no matter how busy he gets with his music\, folks around Sandyville\, West Virginia area can still count on Johnny to deliver right on time.

SUMMARY:Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Masters of Silent Comedy\nA 1919 Movie Night featuring Charlie Chaplin\, Buster Keaton\, and Laurel & Hardy \nJoin us as we open the annual Colony Short Film Festival with a nod to our historic theatre’s 100th birthday! The Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra\, hailed by The Washington Post as “the premier American ragtime ensemble” will take you back in time to experience the movie going experience of the 1910s and 1920s. Laugh out loud to three hilarious silent comedy shorts\, Charlie Chaplin’s “The Pawnshop” (1917)\, Buster Keaton’s “Cops” (1922) and Laurel & Hardy’s “Big Business” (1929)\, all accompanied live with their historic orchestral scores\, as they would have been in the days of Marietta’s New Hippodrome Theatre! Between the films\, hear Peacherine and Director Andrew Greene play the rollicking rhythms of the early 20th century\, featuring favorites by Scott Joplin\, Irving Berlin\, and the creators of America’s first popular music: Ragtime. Fun for the whole family! \n \n“The premier American ragtime ensemble.” – The Washington Post \n“They are\, quite simply\, one of the finest ragtime orchestras in the world.” – Rivermont Records \n“Plenty of variety played in a sparkling fashion which positively exudes good spirits… evocative of the sound that once would have been heard emanating from a park bandstand on a balmy summer’s afternoon.” – Barry McCanna\, Sounds of Yesteryear \n“The finest group of its kind… impeccably performed.” – The Syncopated Times \nAbout the Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra\n\nThe Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra is “the premier American ragtime ensemble” as hailed by the Washington Post\, and is rapidly becoming the leading professional ragtime orchestra in the United States. Formed by young virtuoso Andrew Greene at the University of Maryland in 2010\, the Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra recreates the syncopated stylings of a bygone era – Ragtime\, Theater\, and Dance music\, along with underscoring classic silent movies using an immense archive of over 12\,000 original orchestral scores. \nThe PRSO has repeatedly appeared at leading venues including The Kennedy Center\, The Library of Congress\, The American Film Institute\, historic theaters\, state-of-the-art performing arts centers\, colleges\, universities\, and concert associations across the United States.

Handy\, Victor Herbert\, George M. Cohan\, and of course\, the King of Ragtime\, Scott Joplin. Marches\, two steps\, waltzes\, one steps\, theatre selections\, classical parodies\, popular songs\, and of course\, rags\, are just some of the many selections you’ll hear in their concerts. \nIn addition to their concert programs\, Mr. Greene and the PRSO underscore classic silent movies featuring the biggest names of the day: Charlie Chaplin\, Buster Keaton\, Harold Lloyd\, Laurel & Hardy\, Douglas Fairbanks\, and others. Mr. Greene also has the distinction of rebuilding the original compiled scores for Buster Keaton’s THE GENERAL (1927)\, COLLEGE (1927)\, and Charlie Chaplin’s SHOULDER ARMS (1918)\, and others from the PRSO’s collection of over 500 original film scores. \nThe PRSO records for Rivermont Records\, whose three albums\, Elite Syncopations\, Step With Pep and That Teasin’ Rag have been called “first class”\, “wonderful\, toe tapping fun”\, and “the most satisfying ragtime orchestra collections available.” \n\n\nPRSO’s Founder and Conductor\, Andrew Greene\n\nConductor Andrew Greene is the leading young authority on orchestral ragtime and silent film accompaniment in the United States. Mr. Greene founded the PRSO while a freshman at the University of Maryland\, hoping to draw attention to this neglected but historically important music. \nHe is the curator of the Johnny Maddox\, Arthur C. Ziegler\, E.J. McBride\, Katherine Lingham\, Louis H.

SUMMARY:Ondekoza
DESCRIPTION:The final performance of our Arts Midwest World Fest Series! \nFormed in 1969\, Ondekoza are masters of the world-renowned art of taiko drumming. In a performance that is as much dance as drumming\, the thundering taiko style must be experienced live. \nAt the foundation of Ondekoza’s style is a unique combination of physical fitness\, running\, and drumming—a philosophy called sogakuron\, where “running and drumming are one\, and a reflection of the drama and energy of life.” \nThey demonstrated this principle in 1975 in Boston\, where after completing the Boston Marathon\, Ondekoza immediately ran onstage for a full concert performance. Ondekoza members live together in Japan\, running and drumming at the base of Mt. Fuji. \nStudy Guides for educators: Ondekoza from Japan

SUMMARY:Crystal Gayle
DESCRIPTION:With Senora May opening\nCrystal Gayle comes to the historic Peoples Bank Theatre! Inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in January 2017 by her sister Loretta Lynn\, Crystal Gayle is the first female artist in country to reach platinum status with more than 20 number one hits. Renowned for her classic recording of her timeless signature song Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue\, Crystal Gayle also scored with her multi-format hits You’ve Been Talking In Your Sleep\, When I Dream\, Half the Way\, and her duet with Eddie Rabbitt\, Just You and I. \nhttps://youtu.be/Scs1XCYvTWs \nThe Academy of Country Music recognized Crystal Gayle with a 2016 Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award for her lifetime achievements in country music. And in 2009 Crystal Gayle was honored to receive her own star on the fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame. \nThese honors are fitting tributes to Crystal Gayle who has been a favorite of audiences of country and popular music since attaining national prominence with her first chart records in the mid-seventies. Crystal Gayle has released over twenty number one hits and has been awarded numerous times by the Grammys\, the Country Music Association\, the Academy of Country Music\, the American Music Awards\, and the American Music Operators Association. \nCrystal Gayle encapsulates everything the dazzling qualities of her name imply — although that name came to her in quite an unusual fashion. “Crystal” was suggested by Brenda Gail Webb’s older sister\, Loretta Lynn. Because there was already a ‘Brenda Lee’ on Decca records\, Loretta suggested the name ‘Crystal’ for her younger sibling when she began recording on the label. \nOnce re-named\, Crystal Gayle’s musical boundaries have since been seemingly limitless\, as proven by her recent project “All My Tomorrows\,” a mood influenced collection of American standards. Songs such as Cry Me a River\, Sentimental Journey\, It Had to Be You\, and Smile somehow reach the heights their songwriters’ must have dreamed of when piped through the beautiful chords of Crystal Gayle. “These are songs any artist loves to sing\,” said Crystal in a recent interview. “They’ve endured to become timeless classics.” \nStrange to think of anyone as vibrant as the artist in question as a “timeless classic\,” but that indeed describes the course Crystal Gayle’s career has taken. \nhttps://youtu.be/kEMU6cBxtCc \nHer earliest roots in country music led to what was at that time in the industry an unusual turn of events: Crystal Gayle’s success wave engineered a seamless crossover to mainstream\, following the footsteps of Eddy Arnold\, Patsy Cline\, Ray Price and so many more of her musical heroes and continuing the path for other great artists such as Shania Twain and Faith Hill. \nIn the late 1970’s\, Crystal Gayle was the star of her own one hour prime time specials on CBS television — specials that earned the praise of audience viewers and critics alike. The years that followed saw Crystal Gayle host a concert special on HBO\, a Christmas special from Sweden\, and a variety special taped in Finland. Chic\, hip\, and cool with a romantic mane of hair\, Crystal Gayle’s television specials and myriad guest appearances on specials and talk shows solidified her stardom. \nDrop dead beautiful and dressed in designer threads\, Crystal Gayle took country music to town on her arm in the 1970s and helped introduce it to mainstream audiences. The result was a career of music and performances that appealed to Crystal Gayle’s country audiences and beyond. \nBut in the beginning… \nCountry\, folk\, pop\, rock ‘n roll\, Broadway show tunes\, gospel… all found an equal place in her heart when growing up as the youngest of eight children. As her beloved sister Loretta so aptly put it\, Crystal\, too\, was a “coal miners daughter” before she was a platinum selling singer and a world class entertainer. \nWhile still in school\, she signed her first recording contact. Her debut single\, I’ve Cried the Blue Right out of My Eyes\, was written by Loretta and reached the Top 25 on the national country music charts. Three more singles were released over the next three years\, all making an impact with radio and listeners. \nWhat next emerged was uniquely Crystal. Her warm\, resonant vocal styling\, unique as a fingerprint\, captured the imagination and attention of audiences not usually tuned in and turned on by country music. There was an undeniable sophistication and a beguiling charm about her look and her voice that was a memorable imprint on every audience\, and on every listener. \nHer first album project began a roll out of smash singles to come. Wrong Road Again\, (her first of many hit singles with producer Allen Reynolds) became her debut Top 10 record. I’ll Get Over You\, became her first #1 single. By her fourth album\, “We Must Believe in Magic\,” Crystal Gayle became the first female artist in country music history to achieve platinum album sales. Driving the engine of the album was the song that was to become her enduring career signature song: Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue. \n“Brown Eyes” opened the world’s eyes to Crystal Gayle. She became a familiar name in households\, grand and small\, from Louisville to Leningrad. The glamour and the mystique of the Crystal Gayle phenomena made her an instantly “in demand” artist. From symphony halls to Carnegie Hall\, from the best kept stages in Las Vegas to the prestige of the London Palladium\, one word — “Crystal” — crossed musical genres and oceans. \nHer CBS prime time specials were followed by an equally groundbreaking HBO concert special viewed by millions. She appeared in Bob Hope’s historic NBC-TV Special “On the Road to China.” She was seen hosting the American Music Awards\, the Academy Of Country Music Awards\, and her special “A Crystal Christmas from Sweden.” She swept through tours — and repeat tours — of the U.S. Japan\, England\, Canada\, Ireland\, Germany\, Spain\, Sweden\, Finland\, Holland\, Australia and the Far East. \nIn the wake\, her hit list of platinum and gold was to be matched only by her awards and accolades. CMA’s “Female Vocalist of the Year\,” for two consecutive years\, she became a Grammy Award Winner for “Best Female Vocal Performance\,” thanks to her beloved “Brown Eyes” – a song that she today admits she has never grown tired of singing. Crystal Gayle swept the Academy Of Country Music Awards for three of their “Top Female Vocalist” statuettes. As her music and her career path widened to mainstream audiences\, so did her accolades. She is the recipient of three “American Music Awards\,” voted by the nation as America’s “Favorite Female Artist.” \nBreaking through the unusual genre boundaries faced by most artists has allowed Crystal Gayle a beautiful advantage: doing projects close to her heart just for the sheer love of the music in question. One of the most meaningful was “Crystal Gayle Sings the Heart & Soul of Hoagy Carmichael\,” a stunning\, critically acclaimed collection of 15 of the great composer’s favorite classics. \n“One of my personal career highlights was getting to meet and sing with Hoagy on a television special\,” Crystal recalls. Crystal not only breathed new life into the Carmichael classics\, but produced the “must have” album of her career that included such immortals as Stardust and Two Sleepy People. \nCrystal also found great personal satisfaction in recording two inspirational albums. The Grammy nominated “Someday” was comprised of mostly original spiritual songs and “He Is Beautiful” contains mostly traditional hymns. These efforts led to Crystal Gayle’s 2009 induction into the Christian Music Hall of Fame. \nWith the advent of the new millennium\, Crystal Gayle’s “In My Arms\,” an enduring collection of children’s lullabies\, was an outgrowth of her love for the littlest of listeners and of her visit to Sesame Street to sing with Big Bird to a new generation of fans. Crystal also contributed her performance of Did You Know to “Songs from the Neighborhood\,” the tribute album to Mr. Rogers that won a Grammy in 2006. \nAlways gracious and generous with her time and talents\, Crystal has been awarded the coveted “Celebration of Light Award” in recognition of her myriad humanitarian efforts\, among them the Make-A-Wish Foundation for whom she has recorded the official theme song\, and the Arthritis Foundation for whom she has served as telethon co-host for three years. \nAt home in Nashville when not touring\, Crystal continues to make the world a little more beautiful just by her presence. Her two children\, Catherine and Christos\, her toddler grandson\, Elijah\, and her husband\, Bill Gatzimos\, are her admitted heartbeat. \nSenora May\n \nSenora May’s music and voice undulates like the foothills\, hollers\, and benches of the Appalachian Mountains she calls home. A frugal lifestyle in rural Kentucky has contributed to her experience in and commitment to self-reliance\, resiliency\, hard work and independence. Senora is known for merging the realism of these intrinsic values with a soft\, romantic approach at storytelling. Her songs are an optimistic yet gritty portfolio of her habitat\, exhibiting the triumphs and tolls of hard loving in a hard culture. As listeners join the rapidly growing fanbase of Senora May\, they are transported to a homestead in a simpler time of the mountain culture\, while clinging to gender equality and other invaluable lessons taught by present day constraints of society.  Her songs\, like the artist herself\, are adamant on maintaining the delicate balance of these forces for an honest translation of her experiences as a woman born unto the Appalachian Culture\, a woman in love with nature’s cyclical offerings of life and death and the gettin’ by in between.

SUMMARY:Burge / Matheny / Remnant - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first Listening Room Series concert at The Stage Door\, a special evening in an intimate setting with three veteran songwriters. \nLimited to just 50 tickets. \n“I’m convinced – Ingenious Todd Burge successfully blends more wit and wisdom per song than anyone else I’ve enjoyed in years”\n— Ron Goad – Vice Pres – Songwriter’s Association of Washington DC \n“William Matheny is quickly becoming one of independent country music’s most exciting emerging artists.”\n— American Songwriter \n“Adam Remnant’s voice is one of the great instruments in folk rock.”\n— Stereogum \nhttps://open.spotify.com/user/123920371/playlist/0SI9mVIsEXxKlb2Me18Sdk?si=R2Ff9Ud4TWGPxViDQlmZPA \nTodd Burge\nIf it’s been discovered by man\, West Virginian Todd Burge has written about it. Born to ponder and observe life\, each of his songs tells a story. Whether drawn from personal experience or a tale of poetically woven fiction\, you’ll live every second of it through his songs. \nNow\, Todd Burge is releasing two original albums – one from 2018 and one for 1986 – as double CD package. Todd Burge (1986 The First Album) is his never-released debut record\, and the second\, Your Reflection Will Kill You\, is his latest work recorded by Don Dixon (James McMurtry\, REM). They are a pair of now-and-then sonic bookends\, both opposite and yet intertwined as a collection of stories that brought Burge to where he is today. \nDescribing it as a victim of record industry red tape\, Burge says that “the 1986 album was probably the second or third time I was ever in a studio. It’s a rock and roll record with bits of punk. I’m not surprised at how it sounds when I listen to it now\, because I know I was filled with angst back then. Maybe that’s what I needed it to be when I was recording that music. Now I listen to it as if someone else created it\, and it really helped me decide which songs would go on the new record.”  \nA few years and a few experiences later\, Your Reflection Will Kill You\, shows that\, like good whiskey\, Burge is refined with time. On the making of the new record\, Burge tells us\, “I wanted to be as comfortable as possible\, so I asked Don Dixon (James McMurtry\, REM) to come to my home. Don is a master at capturing a live recording session and making everyone feel comfortable. He has a great set of ears and great taste. You can trust his opinion\, and that is important as\, after a while\, when I record\, I don’t trust my own. \n“The only rule I brought to the table was that we would not use anything but our acoustic instruments. Steel string guitar for me\, nylon for Ryan (Kennedy)\, upright acoustic for John (Inghram). See\, I have this emotional attachment to that sound that dates back to when I was five or six years old\, back when I was still taking naps\, I think. I would ask my mother to play Roger Miller’s greatest hits. You know Roger Miller’s “King of the Road”? Miller played a nylon string guitar. It’s a sound you don’t hear often in country music\, but Roger Miller was not typical. I’ve been a huge fan of Willie Nelson’s since I was in grade school as well. Another nylon string guitar player. That guitar sound is just embedded in me. It moves me more than most sounds do.” \n“With wit and pathos in equal measure\, Todd Burge takes on subjects in his songs that never occur to most folks. Subjects too quirky\, too controversial\, too obtuse for most writers to get a handle on. His compelling vocal style and unique perspective keep me interested long after the last note rings out.”-Engineer- Don Dixon \nWilliam Matheny\nIt’s fitting that William Matheny has chosen to honor the 15th anniversary of Centro-matic’s tour de force album Love You Just the Same on his new 7-inch: The 2003 full-length from Will Johnson’s four-piece was one of the most acclaimed releases from Misra Records’ first five years\, and Matheny has emerged as one of the label’s standard-bearers as it enters closes in on the end of its second decade. \nThe tribute takes the form of a cover of “Flashes and Cables\,” the now-classic from Love You\, on the A-side of Matheny’s single. Matheny’s spin is\, like so many memorable covers\, faithful to the original up to a point—he chose to keep the dramatic shifts in dynamics and picked up the pace only a pinch—but diverges just enough to make it distinct. Gone is Johnson’s martial drumbeat in favor of Matheny’s Spector-informed\, lazy swung backbeat. In lieu of Centro-matic’s slow disintegration and off-kilter keys\, we get a triumphant guitar solo worthy of J. Mascis as the song winds down. Quality songwriting isn’t threatened by interpretation\, and in this new interpretation you’re bound to glimpse aspects of Johnson’s song you overlooked before. \nOf course\, it doesn’t hurt when the interpreter is a top-notch songwriter as well: Matheny\, on the heels of 2017’s Strange Constellations LP and last spring’s EP “Moon Over Kenova\,” is a breakout voice in country-rock\, and keeps on proving it. The B-side of the new single\, “Christian Name\,” manages to turn variations on a theme into three or four distinct hooks\, any one of which would have been enough for most songsmiths to hang their hat on. Tom Petty is in there somewhere beneath the world-weary country-rock exterior\, but so is the dark-tinged bluesy folk of Lucinda Williams. \nFor some\, Matheny’s tribute to Centro-matic will represent a nostalgic trip; for others it may be an entrée into the music of both Misra mainstays. The thing is\, either way\, it’s a pair of tracks worthy of play on repeat: Two gems with equal parts twang and tremolo\, clever riffs and thoughtful words\, delivered with deceptive ease. \nAdam Remnant\nAdam Remnant came up over the last decade fronting the folk-rock band Southeast Engine. As the principal singer and songwriter of the band\, Remnant and his bandmates garnered critical acclaim from publications such as Paste Magazine\, Pitchfork\, NPR\, American Songwriter\, Magnet\, Stereogum\, PopMatters\, AV Club\, and many more. They established a substantial following over the years\, releasing five albums and touring across the United States and Canada. \nAs Southeast Engine wound down\, Remnant began plotting his way forward as a solo artist. He assembled a little studio in his basement and earnestly began writing & recording the songs that comprise the 2016 EP\, When I Was a Boy\, as well as the new full-length\, Sourwood. Remnant’s signature baritone voice and literary songwriting act as the focal point in the productions spanning between folk\, rock\, and indie sounds mined from a Midwest basement. \nSourwood is a record long in the making. In the intervening years since Southeast Engine\, Remnant and his wife\, Amanda\, became parents to two curly blond-haired girls\, which they raise in the fertile creative town of Athens\, Ohio. Located in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains\, it’s here that Remnant pursues his musical visions while tending to daily matters. The songs of Sourwood were birthed in that intersection of youth and adulthood where dreams and realities confront one another.  The songs detail the desire to find potential opportunities beyond the horizon while feeling the gravity of home. The album drifts back and forth between those push & pull forces of home and travel as one might drift between a waking and dream state. Somewhere between those two states is a place called Sourwood. \nThe album is largely recorded and performed by Adam Remnant with contributions from Remnant’s working band\, consisting of brother\, Jesse Remnant\, on bass and harmony vocals; Ryan Stolte-Sawa on violin and harmony vocals\, and Jon Helm on drums. Adam and the band are touring in support of the release.
