The DubTone Orchestra is not your typical 17-piece Big Band! It’s New Orleans meets the Caribbean: the big, brassy horns of the French Quarter colliding with the Rocksteady beat of early Jamaica!

Their eclectic mix of covers (from Bob Marley to Paquito D’Rivera!) and original compositions will put the beat in your feet and have you dancing all night!

Ganga Plant, The Elovators, Heavy Metal Horns, Groundation, Rebel Tumbao, Liquid Revolution, Westbound Train, Big D and The Kids Table, The Slackers, The Void Union, Attractors, Mile 21, and many more!

Stella Chen, violin | Matthew Lipman, viola | Brannon Cho, cello | Evren Ozel, piano

PROGRAM
MOZART: Divertimento in E-flat Major, K563
Intermission
FAURÉ: Piano Quartet No. 2 in G minor, Op. 45
STELLA CHEN, violin
Gramophone 2023 Young Artist of the Year Stella Chen garnered worldwide attention with her first-prize win at the 2019 Queen Elizabeth International Violin Competition, followed by the 2020 Avery Fisher Career Grant and 2020 Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award. Since then, Stella has appeared across North America, Europe, and Asia in numerous concerto, recital, and chamber music performances. She appears frequently with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center both in New York and on tour.
Stella has appeared as a chamber musician in festivals including the Ravinia, Seattle Chamber Music and several others. Chamber music partners include Itzhak Perlman, James Ehnes and Matthew Lipman. She is the inaugural recipient of the Robert Levin Award from Harvard University, where she was inspired by Robert Levin himself. She received her doctorate from the Juilliard School where she now serves as teaching assistant to her longtime mentor Li Lin. Stella plays the 1720 General Kyd Stradivarius, on generous loan from Dr. Ryuji Ueno and Rare Violins in Consortium, Artists and Benefactors Collaborative, and the 1708 Huggins Stradivarius courtesy of the Nippon Music Foundation.

Roomful Of Blues
2024-06-30 18:00 - 22:30 | The Cut, 177 Main Street , Gloucester, MA, 01930, United States
21+, Posiive I.D. Required. 6:00pm Doors/7:00pm Show
Even though Roomful of Blues’ lineup has changed over the years, the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. Singer Phil Pemberton brings his sweet and soulful vocals and adds another bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump- blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with bassist John Turner, trumpeter Carl Gerhard, drummer Mike Coffey, keyboardist Rusty Scott, baritone and tenor saxophonist Alek Razdan, tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille, Roomful keeps on rockin’ into 2024.

Kenny G
2024-06-30 19:00 | The Cabot, 286 Cabot Street, Beverly, CA, 01915, United States
That’s not necessarily a revelation, but more like a huge understatement, and it really comes into focus at this point in Kenny’s amazing career. This is a musician who has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, owns the best-selling instrumental record of all time with 1992’s 12-times-platinum Breathless, has the number one Christmas record of all time with 1994’s 8- times platinum Miracles, and whose song “Going Home” has, improbably, become the official end-of-work-day anthem in China. At the heart of those achievements is Kenny’s ability to convey deep emotional resonance with his saxophone, a skill never more apparent than on Innocence, his 20th studio album and fifth for Concord Records.
The 12-track project’s theme is lullabies, which have existed for thousands of years not only as a means of soothing babies to sleep but also to impart cultural and familial traditions. “Lullabies are very special to me,” says Kenny, who has been mulling an album with this musical focus for several years and even mentioned the idea in passing in Penny Lane’s acclaimed 2021 HBO documentary on him, Listening to Kenny G. “They hold a special place in my heart. It’s the melodies. They are beautiful and timeless and whenever I hear them, wonderful memories start rushing back to me.”

Mark Sandman Memorial Concert: Gone 25 Years But Not Forgotten
2024-07-05 19:30 | The Cut, 177 Main Street , Gloucester, MA, 01930, United States
7/5/24
Partial Seating and G.A Standing. 7:30m Doors/8:30p Show
21+, Positive I.D. Required. $30-$40
July 3, 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of Morphine front man Mark Sandman’s death, felled by a heart attack in the middle of Morphine’s set at the Nel Nome Del Rock festival in Palestrina, Italy on July 3, 1999. To honor the anniversary, a special night of Sandman’s music will be presented at The Cut on July 5th by Orchestra Morphine. Entitled “Mark Sandman Memorial Concert: Gone 25 Years But Not Forgotten”, the concert will feature Sandman’s music performed by friends and bandmates, including original Morphine members Dana Colley and Jerome Deupree. Formed in 1999 in the wake of Sandman’s passing, Orchestra Morphine also includes members of Hypnosonics: Russ Gershon and Tom Halter (Either/Orchestra) and Mike Rivard (Club d’Elf). Special guests including Laurie Sargent, Jimmy Ryan and Christian McNeill will interpet songs from the Morphine and Hypnosonics songbooks.
Sandman was an inspired songwriter, conceptualist and multi-instrumentalist, a fearless, distinctive creative presence on the Cambridge, Boston, national and international music scenes. He rose to national fame in the late 80’s as a member of BMG recording artists Treat Her Right. In the early 90’s he formed Morphine with saxophonist Colley and drummers Deupree and the late Billy Conway, which became an internationally touring cult band, earning the praise of club kids, critics and rock stars.
Never constrained by one band format, Sandman created numerous project bands and collaborations. He formed his “secret band”, Hypnosonics, in 1984 and the group remained active until his untimely death. A free-wheeling, minimalist funk band, the band never released any recordings while Sandman was alive. Finally in 2021, the label Modern Harmonic released two LP’s of previously unreleased Hypnosonics sessions : Someone Stole My Shoes and Drums Were Beating. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Sandman’s passing, the label is releasing a two-disc (and single vinyl) set of more unissued Hypnosonics material: Middle East Rent Control Benefit 1994 / Knitting Factory NYC 1997. This very special event will also serve as the Release Party for the new Hypnosonics releases.

In Bloom Listening Series featuring Pete Lindberg, Alexandra Grace, and High Tea
2024-07-11 19:00 - 22:30 | The Cut, 177 Main Street , Gloucester, MA, 01930, United States
07/11/2024
GA Seating and G.A Standing 7:00p doors / 8:00p show
18+ under 18 must be accompanied by a parent $15
Featuring Pete Lindberg | Alexandra Grace | High Tea
Pete Lindberg
Owing as much influence to a John Prine lyric as a Koji Kondo composition for Nintendo, Massachusetts-born singer/songwriter Pete Lindberg has been writing and performing original music since childhood, gradually carving out a style his very own. After relocating to Nashville, TN in the late aughts, Lindberg went on to collaborate with artists such as Erin Rae, Margo Price, Luke Bell, and Cale Tyson—performing in revered venues such as The Ryman Auditorium and Newport Folk Festival.
Alexandra Grace
Described by most as a singer-songwriter with an old soul, Alexandra Grace lays her thought-provoking lyrics atop a bed of folk-influenced music, creating eclectic and unique songs.
Alexandra graduated Magna Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music in May 2020 with a B.M. in Songwriting and Vocal Performance and a minor in Psychology. Currently, she is focusing on performing, songwriting, and recording. She also teaches private lessons in voice, songwriting, piano, beginner guitar & ukulele at her music studio in Gloucester.
Alexandra released her debut EP ‘ Solstice’ on May 14, 2021. So far, her songs have landed on some well known playlists and have been awarded “Song of The Week” from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, as well as Semi-Finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, for her song ‘Medicine’.
High Tea
High Tea, the indie folk-rock duo hailing from Massachusetts, is a concoction of sweepingly soulful harmonies, guitar riffs to knock your socks off, and a refreshing blend of old blues and new rock. Isabella DeHerdt and Isaac Eliot have come together to fill spaces with homegrown storytelling and Lumineers-esque vocals. Their songs are ripe with americana heartbreak, and tell tales of growing up, going wild, and always coming back to the ones you love.
Their previous releases, Old Cowboy and The Wick And The Flame were featured on playlists, radio shows, and publications like The Boston Globe, The Greenfield Recorder (among others). The title track of Old Cowboy led them to be chosen as one of WBUR’s top 4 Massachusetts Tiny Desk entries of 2022. They toured The Wick And The Flame on the West Coast, in New England, and throughout other US States and received write ups from Atwood’s Magazine, The Boston Herald, and more.
Their new EP, Scuba Diving, dives – literally and figuratively – into four very different worlds on each unique song. Listeners are led through an exhilarating and dangerous love story, a struggle for independence from a lineage of harsh repression, and an internal struggle against the feeling of hopelessness brought on by quick-fix culture, all accompanied by dynamic guitar, thumping drums, and echoing harmonies. This journey of lyrical storytelling and compelling sound culminates in the title track and single from the album, a personal and intimate story of hospitalization, a search for mental health, fear for a friend who is facing down demons, and the fight for understanding an ally’s role within that story. Without a doubt, Scuba Diving is some of High Tea’s most honest and eye-opening work yet.

Slippery When Wet - The Ultimate Bon Jovi Tribute
2024-07-11 20:00 | The Cabot, 286 Cabot Street, Beverly, CA, 01915, United States
Slippery When Wet – The Ultimate Bon Jovi Tribute was formed in 2003 by Jason Morey after answering many inquiries of “Are you Jon Bon Jovi?”. Most notably comedian Dave Chappelle invited Jason backstage following one of his comedy shows thinking that he was the New Jersey icon. It was then that Jason knew he had to take advantage of the resemblance.
It’s a good thing that Jason grew up on some of the best classic rock albums such as “Slippery When Wet” and “New Jersey”. Not to mention that he was also playing a few Bon Jovi songs in his widely successful tribute to the halcyon days of metal “The White Leppard Crue”.
