SUMMARY:Shoebert’s Unfinished Journey
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the true story of Beverly’s beloved gray seal\, Shoebert’s Unfinished Journey is a joyful new family operetta by Arpeggione Ensemble. \nWhen Shoebert the seal found his way to a former mill pond\, he unexpectedly galumphed into the world of another Schubert—composer Franz Schubert\, whose songs celebrate mills\, water\, and fish. \nIn Arpeggione’s heartwarming production\, Shoebert is a seal who loves music. As he searches for his own song\, he encounters remarkable figures from the history of the North Shore’s shoe and textile industries\, from inventor Jan Matzeliger to artist Virginia Lee Burton. Along the way\, he discovers not only a song\, but a place to belong. \nFeaturing two extraordinary singer-storytellers\, live chamber music on period instruments\, and original watercolor illustrations\, this charming production celebrates Beverly’s past and present with humor\, heart\, and imagination. Created as part of Beverly 400+\, Shoebert’s Unfinished Journey is a delightful experience for children\, families\, and anyone who loves a good story. \nThe operetta has been developed in collaboration with the Beverly community\, including the Beverly Council on Aging\, Northshore Education Consortium\, Ayers Elementary School\, and children who helped create artwork at Arts Fest Beverly. \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Beverly Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency; by a grant from the Mass Cultural Council; and by the generosity of many individual donors. \nStory and illustrations by Andrea LeBlanc \nMusic arranged by Thomas Carroll \nAurora Martin\, soprano and narrator \nDaniel Fridley\, bass and narrator \nAndrea LeBlanc\, flute \nThomas Carroll\, clarinet \nEmily Hale\, violin \nAnna Seda\, cello \nApril Sun\, piano

SUMMARY:Chanticleer
DESCRIPTION:We celebrate America’s 250th year of independence by showcasing the diverse voices\, songs\, harmonies\, and rhythms of our shared musical heritage. We explore how those voices influenced each other and how they impact the present day. The cornerstone of this program is a new commission by composer Trevor Weston\, demonstrating the link between traditional American hymnody and African American Spirituals. Other repertoire traces the progression of the American choral tradition from Black Gospel quartets to Shape-Note singing to Barbershop quartets and vocal jazz. The program also includes settings of traditional American Bluegrass tunes and beloved folk songs\, like “Calling my Children Home” and “Shenandoah\,” as well as arrangements of more contemporary American classics\, like Irving Berlin’s “Blue Skies” and “Home” from The Wiz. \nThe GRAMMY® Award–winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer is celebrated worldwide as “an orchestra of voices\,” renowned for its dazzling virtuosity and expansive repertoire. Founded in San Francisco in 1978 by singer and musicologist Louis Botto\, Chanticleer has become one of the most prolific touring and recording ensembles\, with over one million albums sold. Rooted in Renaissance music\, its repertoire spans classical\, gospel\, jazz\, popular music\, and newly commissioned works\, earning multiple GRAMMY® Awards and honors for adventurous programming. Named after Chaucer’s “clear-singing” rooster\, Chanticleer remains deeply committed to artistic excellence\, education\, and community engagement.

SUMMARY:Abigail Rose & Melanie MacLaren
DESCRIPTION:Two compelling voices in contemporary folk share the stage in this intimate co-bill. Nashville singer-songwriters Abigail Rose and Melanie MacLaren pair vivid storytelling and distinctive vocals with indie-folk and Americana influences—Rose with her expansive folk-rock sound and MacLaren with haunting\, witty lyricism and evocative finger-style guitar. \nEnjoy an evening of live music in the relaxed\, lounge-like setting of Upstairs on Main\, where great music meets a casual atmosphere with the bar open throughout the event. \nLocation: Shalin Liu Performance Center Third Floor Lounge \nABOUT ABIGAIL ROSE \nAbigail Rose is a Nashville indie-folk artist whose songs pair vivid storytelling with a voice The New York Times called “a slightly folk-y Stevie Nicks.” Raised on the outskirts of Music Row\, she began writing songs young and has carried that songwriter’s instinct throughout her career. \nHer breakout single\, “Run Girl\,” reached New Music Friday playlists across seven European countries and became one of the most-played songs of 2024 on radioeins\, Berlin’s market-leading radio station. In 2026\, “Betty’s in the Band\,” her duet with Weston Hunter\, sparked an even bigger breakthrough: a live clip went viral before the song’s release\, and the track surpassed one million Spotify streams in its first ten days\, growing her monthly audience to more than half a million listeners. \nAbigail has become a fixture of Nashville’s songwriter scene\, selling out her EP release show at The Basement and making her AmericanaFest debut this September. She recently wrapped an East Coast tour with Bre Kennedy\, with more dates to be announced soon. \nBeyond the stage\, Abigail volunteers with Musicians On Call\, bringing live music to hospital patients\, and performed at the organization’s 25th Anniversary Show in Nashville alongside Kelsea Ballerini and Wynonna Judd. Her debut album arrives in the fall\, bringing years of work together in one defining statement and opening the door to her next chapter. \nABOUT MELANIE MACLAREN \nMelanie MacLaren has quickly established herself in the folk and Americana scene with her unique ability to blend poetic lyricism and a tongue-in-cheek sensibility with timeless folk style. Melanie’s “haunting yet humorous” songs\, distinctive finger-style guitar and soul-string vocals have won over live audiences nationally and internationally since 2022. Her ability to effortlessly weave past and present threads of the folk tradition without sacrificing any sense of individuality and contemporary relevance make her an undeniable artist to watch. \nShe released her stunning debut EP “Kill My Time” in 2022 independently to enthusiastic critical reception before gaining the attention of Tone Tree Distribution in Nashville. Within a few months of the release\, she had signed with Tone Tree\, landed several coveted playlist spots (most notably Spotify’s Best of 2022 Fresh Folk Finds)\, and released a second EP of duets entitled “Tadpole Emporium” with Dublin songwriter Lorkin O’Reilly (DUG) which they toured together in the UK and Ireland. \nMelanie then released her second solo EP “Tourist” in April 2023. With tracks featured on multiple editorial playlists (most notably Spotify Fresh Finds and Spotify’s Best of 2022 Fresh Folk Finds) she garnered over 2.5 million streams across platforms.

SUMMARY:Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman
DESCRIPTION:Virtuoso multi-instrumentalists Jerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman celebrate the roots of American music with an energetic blend of acoustic blues\, ragtime\, traditional jazz\, Tin Pan Alley favorites\, and original songs. Their masterful musicianship\, rich storytelling\, and infectious chemistry create an unforgettable concert honoring the enduring spirit of early American musical traditions. \nJerron Paxton and Dennis Lichtman are world-renowned multi-instrumentalists and vocalists whose formal musical partnership began with a video shoot\, Just Cross the River From Queens\, at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in 2017. Paxton and Lichtman recently released their first full-length duo recording. The duo were Artists-In-Residence at NYC’s Symphony Space for the 2024-25 season and have toured the US and internationally together since 2019. \nSmithsonian Folkways recording artist Paxton presents Black folk music from nearly all the idioms that entails: stride piano jazz from New Orleans to New York; deep blues on guitar and harmonica; rural music from the beginnings of Black arrival in America played on fiddle and\nbanjo; ragtime; and other turn-of-the-century-music that gives the full breadth of pre-WWII Black music without lecturing\, but rather inviting you to enjoy that music as it was given to him. Paxton transports his audiences not to a time\, but to a state of mind that allows them to enjoy and internalize Black folk music\, as has been the American experience for centuries. \nLichtman is a world-traveling bandleader who is best known for running the famed trad-jazz jam sessions at Mona’s Bar in New York City since 2007\, which was described in the Wall Street Journal as “ground zero for an emerging late-night scene of young traditional jazz and swing players.” He is a masterful multi-instrumentalist (clarinet\, mandolin\, violin\, and more) who has toured and recorded with David Byrne\, The Lovestruck Balladeers\, Pokey LaFarge\, Ghost Train Orchestra\, Jim Kweskin\, and his own projects: The Brain Cloud\, Mona’s Hot Four\,\nand his newest all-original album Secret Workshop. \nPaxton and Lichtman’s mutual love of the history\, stories\, and significance behind the music they play is apparent as they romp through an energetic and engaging set of acoustic blues\, ragtime\, Tin Pan Alley pop songs\, 1920s jazz\, twin fiddle hoe-downs\, and original songs and compositions.

SUMMARY:SUSTO
DESCRIPTION:Justin Osborne is a singer\, songwriter\, and storyteller best known as the founder and frontman of SUSTO. For more than a decade\, Osborne has built a body of work rooted in vivid\, deeply personal songwriting—songs that wrestle with love and loss\, change and uncertainty\, family\, place\, and the complicated process of trying to make sense of a life as you’re living it. \nOsborne founded SUSTO in 2013 while living in Havana\, Cuba\, beginning a creative journey that would grow into an expansive catalog spanning studio albums\, live recordings\, and special releases. Along the way\, SUSTO has developed a sound steeped in Southern Gothic storytelling and psychedelia\, moving fluidly through rock\, folk\, country\, and electronic influences while remaining centered around Osborne’s lyrical perspective. The project has also served as a collaborative home for a revolving cast of musicians and creative partners\, including longtime collaborators Wolfgang Zimmerman and Johnny Delaware\, as well as Ben Bridwell\, Madi Diaz\, and others. \nAt the center of it all is Osborne’s songwriting. His work is often confessional without losing sight of the universal\, turning the specifics of his own experiences into songs about the things people inevitably encounter as they move through life. On SUSTO’s My Entire Life\, that approach came into particularly sharp focus as Osborne documented a period marked by major personal change\, examining the end of a long relationship\, family struggles\, new love\, and the hope that can emerge from starting over. The resulting songs blend rock\, folk\, psychedelia\, and country-influenced storytelling while searching for perspective within both the difficult and joyful parts of life. \nThat instinct—to use songwriting as a way of understanding the world around him—has remained a throughline throughout Osborne’s career. In his own words\, SUSTO’s narrative has “always been confessional\,” with songwriting serving as a way to make sense of the chaos\, both good and bad. His songs find meaning not only in life’s defining moments but in the ordinary ones between them\, continually returning to themes of resilience\, reinvention\, connection\, and carrying on. \nThat songwriting has also found another outlet through Susto Stringband\, a roots-oriented extension of Osborne’s creative world that brings acoustic instrumentation and the communal spirit of traditional string music into focus. Whether surrounded by a full rock band\, playing within the Stringband format\, or standing onstage alone\, the common denominator is the song itself. \nAs a solo performer\, Osborne brings that extensive catalog back to its foundation. Without the layers of a full band\, the lyrics\, melodies\, and stories behind the songs take center stage\, allowing material from across his career to exist in a more intimate and immediate setting. It’s a format particularly suited to a songwriter who has spent years turning his own experiences into something shared. \nFor Osborne\, writing and performing have long been inseparable from that desire to connect. As he has described it\, songs can remind people navigating their own difficulties and chasing their own dreams that they aren’t alone. His solo performances offer perhaps the clearest expression of that idea: songs accumulated across years of change and reinvention\, stripped back to a voice\, an instrument\, and the stories that started them.
