SUMMARY:Puss N Boots w/ Norah Jones\, Sasha Dobson & Catherine Popper
DESCRIPTION:IN 2008\, NORAH JONES\, SASHA DOBSON\, AND CATHERINE POPPER FORMED PUSS N BOOTS. \nInitially it was a vehicle for Jones and Dobson to play music together and try new things\, with Popper joining on bass shortly after. The trio played various New York clubs\, with a repertoire anchored in Americana\, country\, folk\, pop and rock. The band became an outlet for Jones\, Dobson and Popper to switch instruments\, and allowed them to showcase a different side of themselves than in their various solo and side projects. \nIn 2013\, some five years after the group began playing\, they signed with Blue Note Records and set out to assemble their debut record. Comprised of originals and covers\, studio recordings and live performances\, that debut was called No Fools\, No Fun. Released in the summer of 2014\, it was supported by a tour of the U.S. \nIn 2019\, the trio took the stage at the MusiCares charity event honoring Person of the Year Award recipient Dolly Parton\, and performed Parton’s “The Grass Is Blue”. Later that year Jones\, Dobson\, and Popper released their holiday album Dear Santa\, followed by their 2nd full length album Sister in 2020.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey Gaines
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Gaines has been heralded for his soul-searching lyrics and his powerful live performances. \nWith only his voice and a guitar for accompaniment\, Gaines has earned a reputation as a captivating performer\, entertaining his audiences worldwide. \nThroughout his three-decade recording career\, Gaines has maintained an impressive standard for soul-searching\, introspective lyrics and catchy\, uplifting melodies. Since bursting on the scene with his self-titled 1992 debut album\, the charismatic singer-songwriter-guitarist has built a beloved body of recordings that’s won him a large and deeply devoted international fan base. He has sold out theaters and clubs throughout North America and Europe. With his compelling live performances gaining high respect\, Gaines was asked to join tours as support act for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers in Europe\, Tracy Chapman\, and Stevie Nicks with Sheryl Crow\, among others. He will be supporting Roger Daltry on his upcoming tour. \nGaines landed his first record deal shortly after graduating from high school\, and in 1992 released his widely acclaimed debut album Jeffrey Gaines. The eponymous disc won massive amounts of critical and audience acclaim\, spawning the hit “Hero in Me.” Somewhat Slightly Dazed (1994) and Galore (1998) further expanded his audience. Interview magazine described Gaines’ work as “soul-searching” and “refreshingly free of jargon\, sentiment or cliché.” \nIn 2001\, Gaines’ release Always Be yielded a surprise hit in his deeply felt interpretation of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes”; 2003’s Toward the Sun attracted even more critical accolades\, with Mojo praising the “soul-folkie’s sexy growl” and The Boston Globe declaring that “Gaines’ soulful\, wounded vocals make a case for his being one of pop’s finest singers.” Toward the Sun was followed by a pair of live albums\, the 2004 CD/DVD Jeffrey Gaines Live and 2012’s Live in Europe\, which reflected the deep and abiding rapport that Gaines has with his fans. In 2018\, Gaines released his eighth studio album\, Alright. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with Chris Price\, Val McCallum and Elvis Costello’s Imposters\, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher. \n“The biggest pleasure I derive from this is playing live\,” Gaines notes. “There’s nothing more satisfying for me than a good live gig. I’m in control\, but the audience can take it to a place that’s higher than I can imagine. When I show up for a live gig\, I don’t need much\, there’s no rider. It’s just\, turn it on\, let the audience in\, and we’ll do the rest. It’s the best job anyone could ever have.” \nWith more than a quarter-century of recording and performing under his belt\, Jeffrey Gaines is enjoying life and music more than ever. “Nowadays\, I know what the job is about so there’s nothing to stress about\,” he says. “I know that there’s people out there who want it\, so I have the opportunity to extend their experience. I guess I could lay my albums all out and see that they tell a story\, but personally I prefer to keep looking forward.”

Currently an eightpiece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon\, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. Singer DD Bastos brings her 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 Chris Pratt\, drummer Mike Coffey\, keyboardist Jeff Ceasrine\, baritone and tenor saxophonist Craig Thomas\, and tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille\, Roomful keeps on rockin’ year after year! \nRoomful of Blues\, according to DownBeat magazine\, “are in a class by themselves.” With their masterful combination of jumping\, horn-heavy\, hard-edged blues and R&B\, it’s no wonder why the great Count Basie called them “the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard.” Since 1967\, the group’s deeply rooted blend of swing\, rock ‘n’ roll\, jump\, blues and soul has earned it five Grammy Award nominations and a slew of other accolades\, including seven Blues Music Awards.With a non-stop performance schedule for over 55 years\, Roomful of Blues has earned critical\, popular and radio success and a legion of fans around the globe. including the prestigious DownBeat International Critics Poll for “Best Blues Band”. \nD.D.

Her work put her closely associated with the fraternity that is; Roomful of Blues\, Sugar Ray and the Bluetones\, The Broadcasters and the dozens of splinter groups who have branched off — shaping many other New England Blues bands. Certainly\, when three of them show up on D.D. and the Road Kings’ album Lover Bird\, which was well received by critics and fans alike\, there is a common thread that can be traced back to the ’60s Blues revival. D.D. is also a Choral Director in the public school system with 20+ years as a private music teacher. Her love of singing is what fuels her soulful and powerful performances. \nChris Vachon – Guitar Chris is a true multi-talent.

SUMMARY:Tales & Ales (and Pies & Pints) at the Pearson Tavern
DESCRIPTION:Join the Museum of Old Newbury for an evening that makes 17th-century court records wicked fun. Forget what you have been taught about the 17th century. Court records reveal a world of complex\, modern\, and surprising people. Their testimony reveals feuding neighbors\, scandalous romances\, tavern disturbances\, sharp tongues\, and spectacular lapses in judgment (is that a chicken in your trousers?). \nPreserved in these records are the words of ordinary people\, including women\, children\, servants\, and the enslaved\, whose voices are so often missing elsewhere\, demanding justice\, asking for protection\, defending their reputations\, and accusing their neighbors.

Combining social consciousness and expertly crafted lyrics with high-energy\, melodically complex music\, Queensryche with Geoff Tate at the forefront became internationally recognized as the thinking man’s rock band. The band’s first three albums — their self-titled EP (1983)\, The Warning (1984) and Rage for Order (1986) — all hit gold status selling over 500\,000 units each. \nWith the release of their landmark concept album Operation: Mindcrime (1988) — which won critical and popular acclaim and comparisons to the Who’s Tommy and Pink Floyd’s The Wall — Queensryche went on to bring their progressive music to sold-out audiences the world over. Following the album’s platinum success\, Queensryche released Empire\, which quickly entered the Top Ten on the Billboard charts\, eventually generating sales of more than three million copies. The album featured the hugely popular hit\, “Silent Lucidity\,” which would be the band’s first Top Ten single (#9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart). Geoff and the band would ultimately perform the Grammy nominated song live at the Grammy awards accompanied by a supporting orchestra. In all\, Queensryche has been nominated for a Grammy four times and has had their music featured in three feature films. \nIn 2006\, the band released Operation: Mindcrime II\, a scorching sequel to their original 1988 tale of “Rock\, Revenge and Redemption.” The band would soon hit the road performing both albums back-to-back in their entirety in an incredible theatrical presentation. The spectacle would be captured on Mindcrime at the Moore\, a double CD/DVD release so popular that the DVD would debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top Music DVD chart and eventually reach gold status. Shortly after the release of that hugely successful set\, Queensryche would release another gem in 2007 titled\, Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensryche\, that featured 17 career-spanning tracks including seven Top 10 hits with a two-CD deluxe Collector’s Edition that added fifteen rare and previously unreleased recordings. Later that year\, the band found themselves on the fall leg of the highly acclaimed Heaven and Hell Tour with the late\, great Ronnie James Dio\, Tony Iommi\, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice along with other special guest\, Alice Cooper. The year would culminate with the release of Take Cover\, an adventurous 11-song collection of covers ranging from Black Sabbath to Broadway. \nIn early 2009\, Queensryche released American Soldier (via Atco/Rhino Records)\, a concept album inspired by the stories of military veterans that examines the consequences of war from the soldier’s perspective… yet another effort that will solidify Geoff and the band in rock history. A truly memorable experience\, the band met with\, and performed for\, troops in both the U.S. and the Middle East. In the year 2010\, Queensryche would\, once again\, display their immense creativity by presenting the Queensryche Cabaret\, which was heralded as “the first adults-only rock show.” In 2011\, the band would find themselves celebrating their 30th Anniversary in rock\, marking the occasion with the release of Dedicated to Chaos (Roadrunner Records/Loud & Proud) and an extensive support tour. \nAt the end of 2012\, Geoff released his first solo album in over a decade titled\, Kings & Thieves (InsideOut Music)\, that was quickly followed by the news of a 25th Anniversary Mindcrime Tour that would encompass the United States in 2013. Also that year\, Geoff would release what would be his last album under the Queensryche name\, Frequency Unknown (Cleopatra Records)\, an effort that would feature such guest musicians as Ty Tabor\, K.K. Downing\, Brad Gillis\, Dave Meniketti and Chris Poland along with the members of his version of Queensryche at the time – Rudy Sarzo\, Robert Sarzo\, Simon Wright\, Kelly Gray and Randy Gane. \nIn 2014\, it was announced that Geoff and his band mates would be embarking on their farewell tour as Queensryche\, with a subsequent announcement stating that Queensryche with original lead singer Geoff Tate would be changing its name to “Operation: Mindcrime” in September for future tours and recordings. By the end of the year\, Geoff began working on one of his most ambitious works to date\, an entirely new concept album\, titled The Key\, that would be the first in a trilogy. Released in September of 2015 (Frontiers Music SRL)\, the debut album examined the question\, “What would you do if you discovered the key to changing the way we view the world\, the way we look at time\, the way we travel\, and could essentially change the human condition — for better or for worse?” Next in the trilogy would be 2016’s Resurrection\, completed by 2017’s The New Reality. All three albums were followed up with international tours that included extensive tours of the United States. \nBeginning in March 2025\, Geoff and the current line-up of Operation: Mindcrime\, hit the road to celebrate the final chapter of Operation: Mindcrime\, performing the 1988 landmark concept album from beginning to end in its entirety… It’s a show that Geoff loves to perform and fans love to see\, only proving that good music never goes out of style. As always\, Geoff looks forward to the musical journey that lies ahead and can’t wait to perform his next big rock show.

SUMMARY:Big Head Todd and the Monsters
DESCRIPTION:In this life\, very few friendships withstand the test of time. \nNaturally\, people go their separate ways and chase their own dreams. As rare as it may be for friendships to last a lifetime\, it might be even rarer for a band to stick together for the long haul. For close to four decades\, the members of Big Head Todd and The Monsters—Todd Park Mohr [vocals\, guitar\, keys\, sax\, harmonica]\, Brian Nevin [drums]\, Rob Squires [bass\, vocals]\, and Jeremy Lawton [keyboards\, lap pedal/steel guitar\, vocals]—have continued to both throw down in the studio and light up stages worldwide. Rallying around a core vision\, the platinum-selling Colorado quartet kick out the kind of blues-drenched rock ‘n’ roll bangers that make you want to rev the engine a little louder\, sing along like no one’s looking\, and live a little freer. \nThis holds true on their 12th full-length offering\, Her Way Out. \n“To me\, my band means four people who listen to each other\, work hard\, and share a goal\,” Todd observes. “The goal has to do with reaching out to people\, catching their ears\, and sharing a story we hope they relate to. Our fans have given us an incredible 40-year career\, and we hope they’ve gotten great songs and performances in return.” \nThey’ve most definitely delivered on both fronts… \nAs the story goes\, Todd\, Brian\, and Rob unlocked their musical partnership during high school when they started jamming in the early eighties. Fast forward to 1986\, they adopted the moniker Big Head Todd and The Monsters. BHTM released 2 successful independent records on their own BIG Records\, Another Mayberry (1989) and Midnight Radio (1990) before drawing the attention of music industry titans and signing with Irving Azoff\, Chuck Morris\, and Frank Barsalona in 1992. They broke nationally with the platinum-certified staple Sister Sweetly (1993) which yielded four top 10 rock radio hits. They continued to progress with Strategem [1994] and Beautiful World [1997] which yielded several more rock radio hits including Boom Boom featuring John Lee Hooker. The band is continually touring and recording and has continued to put out albums that have received critical acclaim from both fans and press. \nAmong other milestones\, their music literally reached the heavens when they played “Blue Sky” live at NASA Mission Control\, delivering a celestial wakeup for astronauts aboard the International Space Station. They’ve toured and recorded with many rock and blues legends including B.B. King\, Neil Young\, The Allman Brothers\, Hubert Sumlin\, David “Honeyboy” Edwards\, Dave Matthews Band\, The Eagles and their personal favorite Robert Plant. Not to mention\, they attained hometown hero status by headlining Red Rocks Amphitheatre 35 times in addition to earning induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2023. \nHer Way Out came to life organically. For two years\, they hosted “Monster’s Music Monthly\,” serving up either a new song or a new version of a classic online. Working out of Jeremy’s home studio\, they parlayed this momentum into their latest LP. \n“It had been almost seven years since our last album release\, but we wanted to put the same energy of ‘Monster’s Music Monthly’ into a full-length\,” Todd notes. “We have a very distinct personality as a band. I write to the sensibilities of each member\, because they’re going to have to dig playing it. We’re a benevolent democracy. If one guy isn’t connecting with a certain song\, that song is out. As an uncomplicated rock band\, we like to do things that are ‘proper’—loud guitars\, drums\, big bass\, and well-placed organ\, keys\, and lap steel. We road-tested every song on the record before recording a lick. All of that helped us dial in the arrangements\, ditch tunes that didn’t work\, and grow a strong sense of what our individual parts should be.” \nIn this respect\, the single and title track “Her Way Out” packs a concentrated and catchy punch. Anchored by a steady beat\, the rough and tumble riff kicks up dust as soulful vocals ignite an irresistible refrain\, “She found her way out\, her way out—and it was me.” \n“It’s driven by the idea that relationships are frail\,” he elaborates. “Sometimes\, they are something one wants freedom from. A real-life circumstance drives this story. Something was said when a person had too much to drink. The relationship ended with words\, but the drinker could never know what he said and the woman refused to tell him.” \nAss-kicking guitar surges through “Thunderbird” as strains of organ coat a raucous refrain with a lyrical tip-of-the-hat to the Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas classic American Graffiti. \nHe goes on\, “‘Thunderbird’ is a collection of one-liners from the film knit together with a beat poet vibe. It has an AC/DC-like guitar riff and a cinematic-style vocal. It’s all about drag racing and love never caught.” \nElsewhere\, Big Head Todd and The Monsters nod to Annie Oakley with “Don’t Kill Me Tonight.” Then\, there’s “King Kong.” A hulking groove lumbers beneath the frontman’s bluesy intonation as a piano solo bleeds into a skyscraper-scaling guitar lead. \n“It’s inspired by a large movie poster in my basement of King Kong on top of the Empire State Building\,” Todd reveals. “I’m drawn to these iconic contemporary heroes who are also monsters. They are complicated because they destroy so much\, yet are sympathetic to children and fall in love with human women. These ‘Titans’\, as they are called\, are often monsters of our own making. It’s exciting to perform live.” \nIn the end\, the future looks as bright as ever for these longtime friends. \n“We work very hard at being a great band\,” Todd leaves off. “We’re also a group that cares for each other. We’ve been together for almost 40 years. Our audience has made it all possible\, and we’re grateful and determined to keep playing.” \n–\nDancing/Standing: Patrons will most likely be standing and dancing at their seats throughout the theater at this event.

SUMMARY:Delta Generators with Julie Rhodes
DESCRIPTION:Real music by real people\, played live and recorded live. This best embodies the philosophy of\nestablished Boston band Delta Generators and their approach for their latest record ON & ON.\nIn an industry where technology has become the standard and intelligence has become artificial\,\nDelta Generators are keeping it real and will continue to do so going forward. All the songs on\nthis record were written\, arranged and rehearsed over a period of eight days and then recorded in\ntwo days at Power Station N.E. in Waterford\, CT by Evan Bakke\, best known for his work with\nWarren Haynes and Prince. The idea was to get together\, play and when something feels right\,\nwork it! No preconceived ideas as to what it should be. A journey of liberation\, inspiration and\nperspiration. Yeah\, Blues is the vehicle\, but their lifelong love of rock music is the fuel that\npowers it. \nBrothers Charlie and Rick O’Neal\, on guitar and bass respectively\, have been playing together\nsince their teenage years. Most notably as members of Benjamin Orr’s band\, former singer and\nbass player with The Cars. Sometimes they would go off and do other projects\, Charlie toured\nwith UK band Must and Rick played in Boston guitar hero Johnny A’s band\, but inevitably they\nwould play together again and again. Charlie had been playing in rock bands throughout\nhis early years\, but he was always a huge fan of Blues guitar. He spent years honing his abilities\nby playing along with records. When the opportunity presented itself for a Blues driven side\nproject\, he was all in. That moment altered his future\, placing him in the position to celebrate his\npassion for personal heroes like Elmore James\, Freddie King and Albert Collins. \nWhen the ensemble was first conceived\, a lover of R&B and Soul named Craig Rawding took\nthe mic as the original front man. Charlie O’Neal brought on his brother Rick as the bassist. And \nin 2007\, the Delta Generators were born. The initial drummer had to bail after a few months\, so\nup-and-coming percussionist Jeff Armstrong was brought into the fold. By 2008\, it was no\nlonger a side project\, and they captured the win at the Boston Blues Challenge. They went on to \nMemphis to compete in the International Blues Challenge where they almost took the top spot. \nFrom there the band went on to forge a solid place in the Boston Blues scene. They went on to\nrecord four records before Craig decided to leave the band in 2016. Enter Brian Templeton\, a\nfixture in the local scene since 1991. His band The Radio Kings had already recorded for two\nlabels\, and he had toured all across the U.S. and Europe with them and as a solo artist. A\nconsummate showman and lover of the spirit\, Brian was rooted in the rock music of his youth\nand was already a seasoned Blues Man. It was a perfect fit and the rest as they say is history.\n“Brian lifted the DGs to a new level with his showmanship and drive\,” says Charlie\, “I don’t\nthink the band would have continued if Brian hadn’t joined.” Brother Rick continues\, “Besides\nhis top-notch vocals\, Brian brought a powerful stage presence and killer harmonica playing to\nthe mix and his lyric writing is in a class all by itself.” \nThe new album is anything but vanilla. After all these years together\, the quartet has a voice and\nswagger that is all their own. The new repertoire is a pure collaboration that has captured what\nmakes this union of these four musicians so organic and pure in its creation. Drummer Jeff\nArmstrong shares\, “Unlike the previous record\, which was more of a compilation of great songs\,\nthis new record stands in itself as a complete cohesive work.” Guitarist Charlie O’Neal offers \, \n“ON & ON perfectly captures the live spirit of the band and is by far sonically superior to any of our previous albums.” \nDelta Generators love writing and recording but they live to play live. Making a connection with\ntheir fans is the most important part of it. As Templeton says. “Making a spiritual bond with the\npeople\, our fans\, is why we do what we do. There really is no other reason.”

SUMMARY:Cowboy Junkies – Celebrating 40 Years and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Cowboy Junkies will be performing a career-spanning show from The Trinity Session to their recent album\, Such Ferocious Beauty! \n“One of the most unique and enduring bands in alternative rock.” – All Music \n“Margo Timmins’s voice is as melancholy and enchanting as ever” – The New York Times \n“There’s something that is nearly miraculous about the way Margo Timmins’ beautiful voice fits with those pained lyrics written by her brother Michael Timmins…the result is some truly transformative music.” – The Mercury News \nAbout Cowboy Junkies\nSometimes revolutions begin quietly. \nIn 1988\, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet\, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise — and it was compelling. It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that came to define the late 80’s. The now classic recording combined folk\, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before and went on to sell more than a million copies. \nFormed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar\, Margo Timmins on vocals\, Peter Timmins on drums\, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass\, the band has sparkled over the course of 29 albums. “I’ve known Alan longer than I’ve known Pete\,” says Michael. “We were friends before Pete was born.” \nUnlike most long-lasting groups\, Cowboy Junkies have never had a break up or taken a sanity-saving hiatus. There’s an appreciation of each other that keeps them constantly working. “It’s that intimacy and understanding of what each one of us brings to the table\,” says Michael.

SUMMARY:John Brown’s Body + Soul Rebel Project
DESCRIPTION:JOHN BROWN’S BODY\nWith a long and storied career on the scene covering three decades and multiple lineup changes\, JBB was formed in 1996 by Kevin Kinsella and released its seminal album “All Time”\, which achieved near mythical status and is credited with being a cornerstone of the US reggae scene. As the original lead singer and songwriter for JBB\, Kinsella is responsible for bringing a vast body of original music to the scene\, and across the first five JBB releases. From its breakout release on Itown Records ‘All Time’\, to multiple releases on Shanachie Records\, JBB cemented itself as a successful touring and recording outfit with an original voice. In 2005\, JBB joined forces with the legends Easy Star Records\, which would begin a lasting and fruitful relationship spanning over ten years and seven releases. \nHailed as “Future roots\, reggae\, and dub with an intricately balanced weaving of vocals\, percussion\, keyboard\, bass\, guitar\, and stunning horn section that ties it all together” (WRUV)\, John Brown’s Body has built “a legacy that has inspired and carved a path for the now thriving contemporary American reggae scene” (Rudeboy Reggae). Formed in Ithaca\, New York\, in the mid 1990s\, at a time when there wasn’t yet a far-reaching U.S. reggae scene\, JBB was one of a small handful of U.S. reggae bands that began touring nationally. Since then\, JBB has played an important role in helping define distinctly “American reggae.” JBB’s music is steeped in traditional vibes\, but unapologetically incorporates elements from other genres. \nTheir unique approach resonated with the masses. The group’s 2008 full-length record\, Amplify\, hit #1 on the Billboard Reggae Chart\, 2012’s JBB In Dub EP reached #1 on iTunes’ Reggae Chart\, and in 2013 Kings And Queens topped both Billboard and iTunes Reggae Charts at #1. On stage\, JBB finds a home across a host of genres and has toured the world extensively\, performing alongside: Slightly Stoopid\, Dave Matthews\, Burning Spear\, Gym Class Heroes\, SOJA\, and many more. \nFeaturing players from all different periods of JBB’s history\, the band has released three singles recently on Easy Star Records\, including dubs from such producers as Tippy\, Prince Fatty\, and Victor Rice. They continue to write\, record\, and perform\, as they have for over thirty years. \nSOUL REBEL PROJECT\nVPAL recording artist Soul Rebel Project are two time winners of the Boston Music Award’s international artist of the year. SRP has shared stages across America to European Reggae Festival Rototom Sun Splash with legends The Wailers\, Sean Paul\, Toots and the Maytals\, Damian Marley\, Barrington Levy\, Kenyatta Hill\, Freddy Mcgregor\, Lee Scratch Perry\, Kabaka Pyramid\, Skatalites\, JBB\, Yellowman\, Stick Figure\, The Movement\, Iration\, Fortunate Youth\, New Kingston\, Redman and Methodman and many more as they’ve worked with world renown reggae record label VP Records. Also having collaborated with Reggae Artist Anthony B\, Sizzla and Capelton Soul Rebel Project was considered for a Grammy for their 2018 album Inspiration. Charting # 5 on the top 100 Reggae albums on iTunes and #2 on The Billboards\, SRP’s first four albums have earned the band industry respect and a reputation as amazing writers\, rooted in Rock Reggae and Dub Jam.

SUMMARY:Darlene Love - Love For The Holidays
DESCRIPTION:Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Darlene Love\, famously dubbed the Queen of Christmas by none other than Mariah Carey\, announces her highly anticipated 2026 holiday tour\, Love for the Holidays. \nDarlene Love’s voice is etched into the very soul of the holiday season. Her signature recordings on the legendary Phil Spector Christmas Album—including “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)\,” “White Christmas\,” “Winter Wonderland\,” and “Marshmallow World”—remain among the most enduring and beloved holiday songs of all time. Her unmistakable vocals have also become a familiar sound in American film and television\, featured in holiday classics like Home Alone 2\, The Godfather\, Father of the Bride\, and hundreds of TV shows\, films\, and commercials. \nLove began her career in the early 1960s\, emerging from Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” as one of the most powerful and unforgettable voices in pop and soul. She quickly became the go-to vocalist for legends like Elvis Presley\, Tom Jones\, Dionne Warwick\, and Bruce Springsteen. Over the years\, her voice has become a seasonal soundtrack for millions—and one that critics and fans alike consider irreplaceable. In fact\, Rolling Stone magazine has named her one of the greatest singers of all time\, and few would disagree. \nOver the decades\, Love has built a remarkable holiday performance legacy. She famously performed “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on The Late Show with David Letterman for 28 consecutive years\, creating one of the most cherished traditions in late-night TV history. Letterman himself once said\, “Darlene’s voice is the sound of Christmas.” That legacy continued when she joined her dear friend Cher in 2023 for a stunning duet at the nationally televised Christmas in Rockefeller Center tree lighting ceremony. The following year\, in 2024\, she brought the house down on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon during the show’s holiday episode with an all-star performance alongside Steven Van Zandt and Paul Shaffer. She also graced daytime television for eight straight years on The View\, bringing festive cheer into millions of homes each December. \nHer most iconic holiday song even includes some iconic backup: Cher was one of the original background vocalists on “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)\,” and still calls it her favorite holiday song of all time. \nNow\, at 84 years young\, Darlene Love shows no signs of slowing down. Her energy\, grace\, and unmistakable powerhouse voice continue to inspire\, uplift\, and electrify audiences. “I’m beyond thrilled to be getting back on the road this November\,” Love shares. “Sharing these songs and moments with fans each year means everything to me. To still be doing what I love at 84 is a gift I’ll never stop being grateful for.” \nIn addition to her return to the stage\, Darlene has just wrapped filming on a brand-new docuseries\, set to debut in 2026\, chronicling her extraordinary life and musical legacy. \nHer upcoming Love for the Holidays tour promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music\, memory\, and pure holiday magic\, led by one of the most iconic and enduring voices in music history.

DESCRIPTION:Experience the timeless music of Paul Simon with The Clements Brothers in a captivating quartet tribute filled with soaring harmonies and exceptional musicianship. George Clements brings the music vividly to life\, drawing on his experience portraying Paul Simon in the national tour of The Simon & Garfunkel Story. \nThe Clements Brothers are George and Charles Clements\, identical twins from New England.

With roots\, rock\, bluegrass\, jazz\, and classical influences\, George (on guitar) and Charles (on bass) aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice\, at once enthralling and intimate\, groovy and serene. Their first album ‘Dandelion Breeze’ was released in 2023 on Plow Man Records and their sophomore record is set to be released in the Fall of 2026. The duo is a fusion of each brother’s unique musical journey\, and the result is music all its own\, filled with vocal harmonies\, instrumental virtuosity\, and a genuine love of song.

SUMMARY:Christian Sands
DESCRIPTION:Jazz history is filled with stirring torch songs and ballads — brilliant expressions of suffering after love has gone awry. The jazz record shelf even contains some classic album-long explorations of melancholy. But it’s hard to find precedent in pianist Christian Sands’ new Embracing Dawn\, his fifth full-length effort for Mack Avenue Records. \nSands’ LP is nothing less than a cinematic narration of the stages of grief\, crafted by one of jazz’s finest young composers. It’s a “breakup record\,” to be sure — composed while Sands was experiencing the hurt that only a sudden absence of love can deliver — but it’s so much more. In its thoughtfully assembled nine tracks are a group therapy session\, a guide to healing\, and an understanding that Sands’ deeply personal angst could apply to any person who has lost a partner\, a job\, a loved one\, an opportunity\, the list goes on. In other words\, Embracing Dawn is for everyone. \n“I actually tried not to write this record\,” Sands says with a laugh. “It was painful. I was going through heartbreak\, and I didn’t know what to do — and so I decided to put it all into music. But I knew I wasn’t alone in this feeling. So why not create a safe space for people to go when they’re having this feeling\, when they’re having these thoughts or questions?” \nEmbracing Dawn trails 2023’s acclaimed Christmas Stories and 2020’s GRAMMY-nominated Be Water. Following that album’s release\, the New York Times commented\, “Equipped with a crisp but forceful touch\, he seems always to be flowing in new directions\, integrating elements of prog rock\, gospel and Western classical into a forward-tumbling jazz conception.” Embracing Dawn furthers Sands’ uniquely cultivated jazz language\, where agile post-bop meets soulful bluesy tinges and gorgeous swells of strings. Sands’ love of classical orchestration\, he explains\, is rooted in his lifelong obsession with film. \nUltimately\, Sands’ sound and philosophy are informed by two of his most essential mentors: bass maestro Christian McBride\, who\, as Sands’ longtime employer\, taught him the importance of always being yourself; and the late piano legend Dr. Billy Taylor\, who stressed how crucial it is to connect jazz to a wide-ranging audience. “I want Embracing Dawn to be something you gravitate toward because of the story\,” Sands says.

SUMMARY:The Temptations
DESCRIPTION:THE TEMPTATIONS’ story is an extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. \nWith their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies\, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one. Just a few of their classic hits that transcends all demographics –“My Girl\,” “Just My Imagination\,” “Get Ready\,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and so many more. Otis Williams is the original and founding member of The Temptations – through the good times and the bad. He is the key to their history and their stories – how they met\, their groundbreaking heights\, personal and political conflicts\, brotherhood\, family\, loyalty and more. As the leader and collaborator\, he has set the direction and tone for the Temptations through their transitions from the 60s to now. The group’s popularity is ever-increasing\, as they are one of the most iconic\, bestselling brands in the world today. \nThe demand for the Temptations grows as each generation discovers them. Most recently\, New York Mets star player Francisco Lindor chose “My Girl” as his walk-up song. The song resonated prompting the crowd at Citi Field to sing even after he reached the plate. This resulted in the Mets inviting the Temptations to perform the National Anthem and sing for the crowd at Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. This kicked off a series of television and personal appearances that hasn’t stopped. \nMarking the 60th anniversary of “My Girl\,” the Temptations first #1 hit\, The Temptations kicked off their official celebration in November in grand style atop Wonder float at the 98th Macy’s Day Parade thrilling the crowds along the parade route as well as millions of television viewers. In between their touring schedule\, they made whirlwind stops in Los Angeles and New York for national television appearances including CNN’s Thanksgiving Special\, The Today Show\, The View\, The Sherri Shephard Show\, The Motown Christmas Special\, CBS Early Show\, Access Hollywood\, ET\, and Extra. More TV appearances are scheduled throughout the year but have not been announced yet. \nAt every show\, they meet multi-generational fans who tell them time after time\, that The Temptations is a group that everyone can enjoy. And proving the point\, “My Girl” officially hit one billion Spotify streams putting them among only 1000 other artists to reach this milestone. “My Girl” celebrates several 60th anniversary chart milestones this year – No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot Rhythm & Blues\, No. 1 single on the Billboard Pop charts\, No. 1 on R&B chart\, and #35 on the Billboard Top 200 (Pop) chart. Continuing to create new music for their fans\, The Temptations are working on a new project this year as their last album of newly written material\, Temptations 60\, was released in 2022. \nThe Temptations’ heritage\, influence and contributions to\, not only American culture and African American communities but also to the global music landscape are monumental. The influence that The Temptations had on mainstream and global artists\, such as The Beatles\, The Rolling Stones\, Bob Dylan and others\, is undeniable. The smash hit musical\, Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations\, is based on the autobiography of Otis Williams. The musical captivated thousands of theatergoers with sold-out Broadway performances breaking house records and is currently touring throughout the U.S. It originally opened on Broadway in 2019 to critical acclaim and received 12 Tony nominations winning the Tony Award for Best Choreography and was nominated for a Grammy® Award in the “Best Musical Theater Album” category. The national touring production completed their 50+ city tour as well as their production in the West End at the Prince Edward Theatre\, U.K. \nMotown auditioned and signed the original Temptations (Otis Williams\, Melvin Franklin\, Paul Williams\, Eddie Kendricks\, and Elbridge “Al” Bryant) in May of 1961. When the legendary “Classic Five\,” (Otis Williams\, Melvin Franklin\, Eddie Kendricks\, Paul Williams and David Ruffin) released the single\, “The Way You Do the Things You Do\,” in 1964\, which peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and remained on the list for 11 weeks\, it marked the beginning of a multitude of award-winning and chart-topping singles and albums that would be embraced by popular music audiences globally. Considered trailblazers in the 60’s\, leading the way not only for themselves but for other R&B artists\, and successfully reaching mainstream audiences here and abroad\, The Temptations’ rise to fame was meteoric. It was on March 6\, 1965 that their first million copy\, bestselling single\, “My Girl” hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. The Temptations’ role as artists\, and how they used their voices to speak to the times they lived through\, especially during the 60’s-one of the most turbulent decades in our nation’s history\, is compelling. \nThe group’s 60-year history spans the 20th and 21st centuries\, and their music transcends generations. The Temptations’ story is a road map through American history. What began in Detroit\, when a remarkable combination of soulful voices united\, was the genesis of an epic journey that introduced multiple superstars to the world and produced some of the greatest music of our era. The Temptations always look forward to serenading fans with their soulful voices\, lighting up stages with their famous Temptations’ Walk and bringing joy to audiences of all ages.
