SUMMARY:THE LAST WALTZ Celebration featuring The THE BAND Band & Special Guests
DESCRIPTION:The THE BAND Band presents a celebration of The Last Waltz\, bringing to life one of the most historic concerts of the rock era. \nOn Thanksgiving Day in 1976\, concertgoers packed San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom to witness The Last Waltz – the farewell performance of The Band’s legendary 16-year career. The group\, who had originally come to worldwide attention as Bob Dylan’s backing band\, had gone on to record eight albums on their own that featured such classic songs as “The Weight\,” “Up on Cripple Creek\,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” \nThe farewell party they hosted that Thanksgiving night featured a who’s who of rock royalty from Bob Dylan\, Neil Young and Eric Clapton to Van Morrison\, Joni Mitchell and Ronnie Hawkins. “It was one of the most incredible concerts ever held\,” says Gary Solomon\, co-founder of the Rockland County\, NY based tribute act The THE BAND Band\, who happened to be in the audience that night! \nThe THE BAND Band recreates the music and the magic of that Thanksgiving evening with The Last Waltz Celebration\, performing The Band’s most beloved songs and enlisting a dozen guest musicians\, including a horn section\, to the cover numerous artists and songs featured in the original concert. The lineup includes fiddle player Larry Packer\, who played with The Band at the original concert in 1976. For Solomon\, the show resonates on a personal level. “Having been at The Last Waltz on Thanksgiving Day nearly a half century ago\, and now performing it with my tribute band\, really feels like things have come full circle.”

SUMMARY:DAVID BENOIT’S CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS
DESCRIPTION:David Benoit was bitten by the jazz bug after watching a Charlie Brown special on television and listening to the music of Vince Guaraldi in 1965. “I was already a fan of the comic strip\,” he says\, “but when I heard that jazz piano trio\, that was the defining moment when I decided that I wanted to play like Vince Guaraldi.” \nFor four decades\, the GRAMMY®-nominated pianist/composer/ arranger David Benoit has reigned supreme as one the founding fathers of Contemporary Jazz. He has received three GRAMMY® nominations in the categories of Best Contemporary Jazz Performance for “Every Step of the Way” (1989)\, Best Large Ensemble Performance for GRP All-Star Big Band (1996)\, and Best Instrumental Composition for “Dad’s Room\,” the latter from the album Professional Dreamer (2000) and in 2010\, David Benoit received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Smooth Jazz Awards. He has also worked with an impressive potpourri of musicians including the Rippingtons\, Emily Remler\, the late Alphonse Mouzon\, Dave Koz\, Faith Hill\, David Sanborn\, CeCe Winans\, Keiko Matsui\, Hiroshima and Brian McKnight. \n“Benoit tickles those keys and this is a definite masterclass on how to play the piano with feeling.” – The Jazz World

SUMMARY:Blood Sweat & Tears w/ Special Guest Jim Fielder\, Founding Member of BS&T
DESCRIPTION:The Band’s Only New England Appearance in 2024! \nBS&T has never stopped touring. Fans have their favorite musicians who are originals to them and we all agree but it is simply Blood Sweat and Tears at its best. \nBlood Sweat and Tears was born from a selfish notion that we could combine the sophistication and musical skill level of jazz music with the energy and universal appeal of rock vocal music. Instead of incessant whiny guitar interludes\, we would have improvised\, spontaneous jazz solos. Horn arrangements were not an afterthought\, they were fully integrated into the songs themselves\, some written by band members and others that would come from many different resources. These are the ideas that formulated the concept of BS&T. \nThe most commercially successful version of the band was in fact\, our second line-up. That set the course of seeking out the most talented musicians and having a revolving door for stars to join us while in between their tours. And it worked! No bored players here.

SUMMARY:Cantemus Presents "The Peace of Wild Things"
DESCRIPTION:Cantemus Chamber Chorus\, with 42 members from across the North Shore\, will present three concerts in December that share “The Peace of Wild Things.” Inspired by the Animal Kingdom\, this concert preserves some seasonal traditions\, and goes beyond. The repertoire ranges from des Prez and Mendelssohn to contemporary composers Eric Whitacre and Craig Hella Johnson. Some pieces reflect on the grace and beauty of the natural world; some involve animals being personified or used as poetic symbols; and some mimic actual animal sounds! \nThe concerts will take place in three North Shore towns: In Beverly on Friday\, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church\, 4 Ocean St.; in Newburyport on Sunday\, December 8 at 4:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church\, 166 High St.; and in Gloucester on Sunday\, December 15 at 4:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church\, 10 Church St. \nCantemus’ Artistic Director Jason Iannuzzi said\, “We are thrilled to present this expansive program of choral music from the 15th through the 21st century. The animal kingdom has provided a deep well of inspiration for poets and composers who have sought to capture their grace and beauty\, as well as the seemingly human qualities of our fauna friends.” \nFor more information about the program and to purchase tickets\, visit www.cantemus.org/concerts. Tickets may also be purchased at the door.\nCantemus gratefully acknowledges funding support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and from the Local Cultural Councils of Amesbury\, Boxford\, Essex\, Ipswich\, Marblehead\, Newbury\, and Newburyport. Cantemus participates in the Card to Culture program\, a Mass Cultural Council initiative that offers reduced-price tickets to card holders. \nCantemus is a member of Chorus America\, MASSCreative.org\, and the Greater Boston Choral Consortium.

SUMMARY:The Aimee Mann & Ted Leo Christmas Show
DESCRIPTION:Ft. Paul F. Tompkins\, Nellie McKay & Josh Gondelman \n“Delightful…a Santa-stupefying balance of naughty and nice…with the giddy warmth of an eggnog buzz. Hangover included\, of course.” – New York Times \n“Genuine\, irony-free good cheer had been spread\, making Mann’s Christmas extravaganza one of the season’s best gifts.” – Boston Herald \nAimee Mann and Ted Leo began collaborating\, under the inconspicuous band name the Both\, in 2013. The pairing revealed two artists with more in common than one might suspect. Mann\, a generational singer-songwriter\, was\, in her formative years\, a punk\, before coming up playing in the New Wave favorites ’Til Tuesday\, and eventually turning to the wry ballads for which she is revered. Leo\, a New Jersey-bred punk hero\, is a biting lyricist attuned to the nuances of pop songcraft. Both are fiercely independent artists\, free to follow their muses where they travel—even if that happens to be a holiday variety show that mixes jovial Christmas classics with piquant original songs. A seasonal tradition for Mann since 2006\, the concert includes sketches and guests from both musical and comedic realms. – New Yorker Magazine

SUMMARY:Lúnasa
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 1997\, Lúnasa has long been one of contemporary Irish music’s leading voices. Named after an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honour of the Irish god Lugh\, the group that Folk Roots magazine once called an “Irish music dream team” was formed from members of some of Ireland’s greatest bands and over the years has proven its mettle time and again\, having sold over a quarter of a million records and collaborated with notable artists outside the tradition such as Natalie Merchant and Mary-Chapin Carpenter. They have performed more than 2\,000 shows across 36 countries including high-profile concert venues such as Carnegie Hall\, The Hollywood Bowl\, National Concert Hall (Dublin) and Paris Bercy\, and many of the leading festivals such as Glastonbury\, Womadelaide & Edmonton. \nFrom the start\, the band’s complex arrangements and unique sound reshaped the boundaries of traditional music and energized audiences the world over. Critical acclaim followed\, The Irish Echo describing the band as the “the hottest Irish acoustic band on the planet”; MOJO magazine named the band “the new gods of Irish music\,” adding that “nobody since the Bothies has wielded such a thrilling rhythmic underlay.” Billboard raved that “anybody who listens can’t help but find them contagious.” \nLunasa’s current lineup features: Trevor Hutchinson\, who achieved fame as the bassist with the The Waterboys: piper Cillian Vallely was a member of Riverdance and recorded with Bruce Springsteen: Flute player Kevin Crawford\, considered one of Ireland’s greatest flute players\, was a member of Moving Cloud: award-winning fiddler Sean Smyth\, who performed with Donal Lunny’s legendary Coolfin and accordionist Alan Kelly; Colin Farrell is a multiple award winning fiddler\, who has toured with Project West\, Grada and Michael McGoldrick: Guitarist Ed Boyd made a name for himself in the UK folkscene with bands such as Flook\, Kate Rusby and Cara Dillon.

SUMMARY:Brass Fed Nation Holiday Bash

Required \nCarlos Menezes Jr’s BrassFed Nation is a horn-driven groove machine with a unique sound incorporating the styles and traditions of early Jazz\, New Orleans Funk & Soul\, Rhythm & Blues\, Calypso\, and Jamaican Ska! Founded in 2013\, The BrassFed Nation is dedicated to the advancement of horn-driven music through exposure and outreach in both education and local musical culture! The collective features 3 unique ensembles; Cape Ann Big Band\, The Jambalaya Horns\, and The 13-Piece DubTone Orchestra – all striving to inspire and connect musicians of all ages through performances\, private studio lessons\, workshops\, and interactive clinics. \nABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE:\nPaying homage to the infectious beats and sounds of New Orleans\, the BrassFed Orchestra will cue the “Big Four” and transport audience members to the streets of the Crescent City for a Holiday Celebration that is full of surprises! This year’s program will showcase members of The Jambalaya Horns and feature a number of guest instrumentalists from the New England music scene! Featured Vocalists are Jack Favazza and Rhiannon Hurst. \nABOUT CARLOS MENEZES JR:\nPrimarily playing the Tenor Sax and Trombone\, Carlos strives to bring the big sounds of his main influences\, Gene Ammons\, Stan Getz\, and Sonny Rollins to the stage. Reflecting his own sound and style\, audience members can expect a few squeaks and honks in good humor. In 2011 he formed the Cape Ann Big Band with friends Shawn Lowe\, Mike Lentini\, Paula Burns\, and Rick Geraghty. Since then\, the group has performed over 30 consecutive sell-out performances and has become a staple in the North Shore during the holiday season. \nBetween 2012 and 2017 he toured professionally on sax and trombone with NYC’s “The Toasters” and had the honor and privilege of playing alongside some of the best in the genre. In that time he performed in front of thousands of fans across 43 countries in 4 different continents. Whether the audience was a couple hundred in a small club or tens of thousands in a stadium\, the experience was enlightening and revealed just how powerful music can be when it comes to connecting people. Driven by the support of his family\, friends\, bandmates\, and community\, he will stop at nothing to inspire and connect audiences and listeners of all ages! \n“Music is my passion\, and working within the community is one of the greatest joys of my life. What I truly love about music is that we never age-out of it\, we just become more experienced and wiser as we open our ears and eyes to the musical world around us.” \nWEBSITE: www.brassfednation.com

This unique blend is on full display with the Christmas Caravan show\, which has increasingly grown in popularity\, selling out venues throughout the United States. \n“There is of course jazz of various stripes (mainly pre-WWII varieties) on this deliciously wide ranging night of entertainment\, but there’s so much more: sounds\, identifiable and not\, emanating from mysterious times and places\, not the least of which is New Orleans\, their home base\, a land that\, forever and still\, has a mind of its own.” – Relix

SUMMARY:The LeeVees Hanukkah Party For All
DESCRIPTION:12/13/24\nReserved Seating $30\nStanding $24 \nAll Ages\, under 18 must be accompanied by a parent. \nThe LeeVees are a rock band featuring Adam Gardner of Guster and Dave Schneider of the Zambonis. The band was formed when the two bands toured together. The latter band only writes songs about ice hockey. Gardner and Schneider thought it would be fun to form another rock band\, a Jewish one\, that only wrote songs about Hanukkah\, because there was a dearth of contemporary songs about that holiday. It first came to prominence near the end of 2005 with its debut album\, Hanukkah Rocks. After realizing its initial approach was rather narrow\, it continues as a band with a strong Jewish identity. Hanukkah Rocks producer Peter Katis had previously worked with Guster\, as well as a range of indie-rock acts.
