SUMMARY:Music in the Atrium: Celebrate Mother Earth with Johnny Fireseed
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Atrium \nIncluded with admission\nSalem residents and workers always get free admission. \nThis program will contribute to the sound in the Atrium. If you would like to borrow noise canceling headphones\, please pick up a KultureCity bag at the coatroom. \nABOVE IMAGE: Illustrations by Chris Cyr. \nThis month\, our Music in the Atrium series celebrates Planet Earth with live performances by Johnny Fireseed. A project of Framingham-based Fireseed Arts Studios\, lead by artist and musician Patiño Vázquez in collaboration with local musicians and craftspeople\, Johnny Fireseed uses instruments made entirely from upcycled trash and repurposed items to perform original music with an upbeat eco message. The band’s inspiring sound aims to spread a message of joy\, fun and new ways of thinking about consumption and waste far and wide. \nVázquez will be showcasing instruments made from locally harvested trash and live looping to create ambient soundscapes. Come hear high-end electric guitars made from old kitchen countertops and drums fashioned from ventilation ducts and popcorn tins in an aesthetic that’s “part Victorian Steampunk with elements of mystic meditations in heart-opening layers of rhythms and harmonies.” Building loops and then improvising over the loops gives the listener a feel for the looks and sound characteristics of each instrument. Audience members are often invited to join in the fun! \nMusic in the Atrium is PEM’s live concert series that features local and visiting performers from a variety of musical traditions and styles. Concerts take place on select Sundays. Explore upcoming shows at pem.org/events.

SUMMARY:Connie Converse at 100: America's Cassandra
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Morse Auditorium \nIncluded with admission\nAdvance registration recommended. \nWhen the music of the previously unknown Connie Converse was released in 2009\, decades after she deliberately disappeared in 1974 (never to be heard from again)\, it created a new reference point in American music\, and a need to rewrite the music history books. \nIn early 1950s New York\, more than ten years before Bob Dylan and his contemporaries popularized the “singer-songwriter” identity\, Converse was writing and performing witty\, introspective\, literary songs for voice and guitar. She was also a brilliant scholar\, visual artist\, activist and public thinker far ahead of her time. \nJoin Howard Fishman\, author of To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life\, Music\, and Mystery of Connie Converse\, in conversation with Boston Globe contributor James Sullivan and Trevor Smith\, PEM’s Associate Director–Multisensory Experience and Curator of the Present Tense. \nTheir conversation will cover the Converse family’s long history in America\, dating back to their 1630 arrival in Salem\, and Converse’s relationship to the American songbook. They will also play samples from Converse’s pioneering recordings and haunting melodies. A book signing will follow the talk.

SUMMARY:Tom Rush Club 47®
DESCRIPTION:Feat. Cheryl Wheeler\, Kenny White\, Monica Rizzio \nTom Rush is a gifted musician and performer\, whose shows offer a musical celebration…a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been\, can be\, and will become. \nHis distinctive guitar style\, wry humor and warm\, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling\, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues \nRush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s\, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone\, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes\, but also one of my main influences.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences. Rush has long championed emerging artists. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell\, Jackson Browne and James Taylor\, and in more recent years his Club 47® concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own reputations.

SUMMARY:Brad Mehldau
DESCRIPTION:Experience the critically acclaimed artistry of Brad Mehldau\, hailed by The New York Times as “the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years.” Known for his lyrical and innovative style\, Mehldau’s performances are a masterclass in musical ingenuity and emotional depth\, seamlessly blending jazz\, classical and pop influences. \n“Brad Mehldau is a giant of contemporary jazz piano whose musical language has always been difficult to define due to his healthy lack of respect for musical boundaries.”\n– All About Jazz \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nRenowned as one of the most lyrical and intimate voices in contemporary jazz piano\, Brad Mehldau has carved a distinctive path that blends jazz exploration\, classical romanticism and pop sensibility. Acclaimed as a bandleader and celebrated for collaborations with artists like Pat Metheny\, Renée Fleming and Joshua Redman\, Mehldau is admired by both jazz purists and broader music audiences. \nHis innovative approach to melding musical genres has resulted in stunning reinterpretations of songs by The Beatles\, Radiohead\, Paul Simon\, and Nick Drake\, as well as timeless classics by Cole Porter and Gershwin. These sit alongside a significant and ever-evolving catalogue of his original compositions\, performed in both solo and trio settings. \nWith his deep appreciation for popular music and classical influences\, Mehldau has been hailed as “the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years” (The New York Times). \n“Pianist Brad Mehldau is the ultimate jazz chameleon\, at home covering songs by composers as diverse as Cole Porter\, Thelonious Monk\, Radiohead\, Stone Temple Pilots\, Nick Drake\, George Gershwin and Massive Attack…He respects the sophistication that can be derived from these compositions and treats them all with equal reverence.”\n-Pop Matters \nBelow\, Brad Mehldau discusses his album ‘After Bach II’ and performs ‘Variations on Bach’s Goldberg Theme’ from it. The album is out now: https://bradmehldau.lnk.to/afterbachii

SUMMARY:Foreigners Journey - A Tribute to Foreigner and Journey
DESCRIPTION:From power ballads like “I Want to Know What Love Is\,” and “Faithfully” to anthems like “Jukebox Hero\,” “Stone In Love\,” “Cold As Ice\,” “Separate Ways\,” and “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Foreigners Journey are more than a tribute band. They’re a time machine\, and their energy is infectious. \nAlmost any music fan who came of age in the 1980s will cite Foreigner and Journey as bands that sound tracked their young life\, bands that are forever lodged in their mind. Back then\, the two acts might have been separated by an ocean\, but together they helped define the “magic era” of classic rock. \nAt one point not too long ago\, they toured the world as a one-two combination\, but don’t count on it happening again. Luckily\, you can count on Foreigners Journey\, a veritable tribute-band supergroup\, to deliver the unforgettable experience of seeing both bands in one knockout show.

SUMMARY:Laurie Berkner (TWO SHOWS)
DESCRIPTION:Two Shows: 11AM & 3PM \nGive your child an unforgettable experience that will inspire a lifelong love of music and create lasting memories with the whole F-A-M-I-L-Y! \nLaurie Berkner has been a professional musician since 1992\, but her success as a children’s recording artist was a surprise to her. “It was so unexpected\,” says Laurie. “I’d been performing in rock bands and struggling to write original music. Writing music for kids has not been a struggle at all. The more I started working on material for children\, the more I realized that it opened up creativity in me that I never knew I had.” \nThese days critics widely acknowledge Laurie’s major contribution toward launching what is now dubbed the progressive “kindie rock” movement – i.e. less saccharine\, more rocking music that is not dumbed down for children. But it wasn’t simply an enormous amount of talent that helped create an entire genre and skyrocketed Laurie to her current position as “the queen of kids’ music” (People magazine). \nIt was an ability to gain parents’ enthusiasm for the songs as well. According to Laurie\, “When I’m writing a song\, I’m thinking about whether the kids will like it and whether I’m going to connect to them through it. I’m also thinking about whether I want to sing it over and over again\, so I guess that’s the part that connects with adults. ‘Old MacDonald Had a Farm’ is a great song for kids\, but I couldn’t sing it 100 times!”
