SUMMARY:Robert Cray Band
DESCRIPTION:Groovin’ 50 Years \nBlues icon. Soul man. Rock and roller. Robert Cray is all these things – and more. The Georgiaborn\, Washington-raised musician first picked up a guitar after seeing The Beatles on TV then\, having witnessed Jimi Hendrix perform in Seattle\, determined that his destiny would follow a similar path. And so it turned out: across the past half-century Robert Cray has developed into one of American music’s most singular artists. \nFrom forming a teenage garage band\, through to striding the stage alongside several of the world’s greatest guitarists\, Robert Cray’s story is one of struggle and commitment. Struggle and commitment that led to Cray enjoying phenomenal success – selling millions of albums and countless concert tickets – while his skills as a band leader and performer mark him as a keeper of the flame for American roots music. \nCray’s commitment to making music of the highest order has won him both a loyal audience and the respect of many legendary figures. Robert Cray has shared stage and/or studio with the likes of John Lee Hooker and B.B. King\, Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters\, Albert Collins and Stevie Ray Vaughan\, the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton\, Tina Turner and Buddy Guy\, the Memphis Horns and Hi Rhythm Section. \n– Cray’s 1986 breakthrough album Strong Persuader is the best selling blues album ever.\n– Cray has won five Grammy Awards.\n– Cray has been inducted into Hollywood’s Rock Walk and the Blues Hall of Fame.\n– Cray is recipient of the Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance.\n– Cray has designed two signature model Fender guitars. \n“Nothing beats playing live\,” says Cray of his forthcoming US tour dates. “Audiences inspire me and my band to reach for the top every night.” Of his half century leading a rocking band he says\, “it’s been a great ride so far. And the best is yet to come.” \nThe Robert Cray Band consists of Richard Cousins (bass guitar)\, Dover Weinberg (keyboards)\, George Sluppick (drums) and Robert Cray (vocals/guitar).

SUMMARY:California Guitar Trio
DESCRIPTION:The universe of guitar knows no boundaries for The California Guitar Trio. Since 1991\, the group has enthralled listeners with a singular sound that fearlessly crisscrosses genres. The trio’s questing spirit drives it to explore the intersections between rock\, jazz\, classical\, and world music. It even throws in the occasional surf or spaghetti Western tune for good measure. The trio’s output has made a major global impact\, having served as the soundtrack for Olympics coverage\, and programs on CNN\, CBS\, NBC\, and ESPN. \nCGT’s lineup is truly the sum of its distinct parts: A Utah native now residing in Los Angeles\, Paul Richards immersed himself in rock\, blues\, jazz\, and folk during his early days and while attending The University of Utah’s jazz guitar program. Bert Lams\, originally from Belgium\, graduated from the prestigious Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels\, specializing in classical guitar. Tokyo-born Hideyo Moriya began his guitar journey with surf music and British rock\, before relocating to Boston to study at Berklee. \nAll three felt the call to push themselves to the limit by enrolling in Robert Fripp’s challenging Guitar Craft courses\, where they first met in 1987. They went on to tour together as part of Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists\, before forming the California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles four years later. \n25 years and 1\,800+ gigs later\, the CGT remains intensely committed to explore\, evolve and communicate a wide-ranging musical worldview.

SUMMARY:Caleb Caudle & The Sweet Critters
DESCRIPTION:11/7/24\n21+\, Positive I.D. Required. 7:00pm Doors / 8:00pm Show\nSeated and G.A. Standing. $27-$20 \nJust as the marbled salamanders emerge from under damp logs and leaves\, the mushrooms—smooth\, pearlescent ones and spongy morels—turn on like night lights glowing in the dark\, and the long-horned beetles and regal moths begin buzzing. The fiddlehead ferns and trout lilies curl inward\, a copperhead slowly swerves\, and a fox steps into the moonlight looking for prey. It is here\, in that restless middle of the night\, under cover of darkness\, where Caleb Caudle’s sixth studio LP Sweet Critters is nestled. \nThrough sometimes shadowy arrangements that creep and lurk\, Caudle continues to mine both the brightest and murkiest corners of his imagination\, finding that purest of points where tenderness and grit collide\, inspired by musical heroes like Buddy Miller and Guy Clark\, and mentors like Elizabeth Cook and John Paul White. It was White who Caudle tapped to produce Sweet Critters\, along with Ben Tanner\, at the duo’s Florence\, Alabama studio Sun Drop Sound. “I was very excited to work with Caleb on this record. Iʼve been a fan for years and count him as a friend\,” White says of working with Caudle. “Heʼs a stellar songwriter\, so I knew heʼd bring the goods. And he did.” The album features Allison Russell\, Aoife OʼDonovan\, John Paul White\, and Caudleʼs own touring band.

SUMMARY:JP Harris
DESCRIPTION:11/14/24\nReserved floor seating\, reserved rail seating\, G.A Standing. 7:00pm Doors / 7:30pm Show\n21+\, Positive I.D. Required. $28-$23 \nJP Harris was born shortly\, and fortunately\, a few minutes before Valentine’s Day 1983 in Montgomery\, Alabama. Within a handful of years he was wearing a green velour tracksuit and leading a large Doberman around for street credibility\, at the young age of three. He had a charm and strut that would take him far\, so the grown folks said; but roughly a decade later\, on the opposite side of the country\, he would leave his family’s home late one summer night with no designs on fame\, fortune\, or clothing endorsements\, never to return. He had an inkling that the eighth grade was enough education for where he was headed\,and set a course for Anywhere\, USA. Turns out he was right.\nSpending most of his teenage years traveling by freight train\, thumb\, or foot\, he would set down his rucksack for what he thought was the last time in rural northern New England\, shortly after the anticlimactic event known as Y2K came to pass without much to-do. He spent the next decade living in remote cabins lacking the modern appointments of power\, running water\, or winter road access. It was there Harris honed the many trades he’d learned: sheepherder\, logger\, heavy equipment operator\, farm laborer\, restoration carpenter\, and sometimes as contraband handler\, while his musical palette expanded beyond the punk rock of his youth to include the Early American Folk Canon of blues\, old time\, and early country recordings.\nJP had long fashioned himself a carpenter who did halfway-decent campfire renditions of old country tunes\, but turned suddenly to songwriting in his mid twenties after years without the slightest ambition toward “music business” of any sort. He would assemble a band\, trade his work truck for an old Econoline van\, and fifteen years would elapse before he would reluctantly add the term “professional” in front of his title of “musician.” In 2011\, Harris loaded his van and trailer with every tool\, guitar\, and keepsake he could cram and moved to Nashville TN\, shortly before the release of his debut album “I’ll Keep Calling\,” which would win him countless accolades from various outlets and entities unheard of by the general masses. It was enough praise to keep him on the road\, even if his largest reward garnered at the time was a sizable box of Taco Bell gift cards. He would go on to record 2014’s “Home Is Where The Hurt Is\,” 2018’s “Sometimes Dogs Bark At Nothing\,” and 2021’s Appalachian banjo-centric side project album “Don’t You Marry No Railroad Man\,” under the moniker JP Harris’ Dreadful Wind & Rain.\nJP’s historic restoration carpentry has continued to be a baseline for his relationship to music; the yin to his yang\, the Burt to his Ernie\, the Dolly to his Porter. It was through this concurrent line of work that he met another twice-initialed singer with a penchant for old Americana music\, obscure film\, and overly elaborate ethnic meal preparations: one JD McPherson. The two became fast friends and would eventually\, through many twists\, turns\, false starts\, and biblically-proportionate plagues\, enter a modest studio in Nashville to record Harris’ latest album “JP Harris Is A Trash Fire.” Over the course of nine months in 2023\, they recorded a sometimes lush\, sometimes sparse\, and sometimes jarring country album of Harris’ originals\, loudly and violently squelching any attempt to pigeon-hole a song into any subgenre of country music. Only albums by Lee Hazelwood and an obscure folk album Waylon Jennings made when his hair was still short were allowed to be mentioned in reference. Featuring the guest vocals of Erin Rae\, The Watson Twins\, Shovels & Rope\, and producer JD McPherson himself\, the record is equal parts satire\, reflection\, and apology to those that would listen. In a musical landscape of period-correct reproduction\, “outlaw” internet posturing\, and flavor-of-the-month variants on country\, “JP Harris Is A Trash Fire” burns bright as a dumpster ablaze in a Walmart parking lot on a moonless night; some will fear it\, some will gravitate to its acrid warmth\, and most will have no idea what to make of the situation. Harris has been steadily elbowing the definitive boundaries of “country music” wider with every album\, both sonically and lyrically\, and his latest piece of self described “Avant-Country” is no exception. Even within the rapidly growing world of “underground” country music\, Harris still considers himself an outsider\, content to inhabit a gray area where punk rock ethos\, folk art aesthetic\, and the workingman’s ballad mingle.\nWhen he’s not touring\, JP Harris can be found fixing historic houses\, riding old motorcycles\, or picking through scrap piles for useable refuse.

Their anthemic hit single “Best Day of My Life” has been featured in over 600 movie trailers\, TV shows\, commercials\, and as a theme song for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite these accolades\, however\, lead singer Zac Barnett vows that the best day of their lives is still yet to come. “We just want to keep going\,” he says. “We can’t wait to continue this adventure.” \nOriginally formed in 2006 at Berklee College of Music in Boston\, American Authors – Zac Barnett [vocals/guitar]\, Dave Rublin [bass]\, and Matt Sanchez [drums] – eventually dropped out of college and moved to Brooklyn to continue refining their airtight songcraft. \nBy 2018\, the guys had impressively generated over 1 billion global streams on a string of alternately striking and soaring smashes. Their inescapable and instantly recognizable breakthrough “Best Day of My Life” earned a triple-platinum certification from the RIAA and vaulted to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in addition to receiving countless film\, television\, video game\, and sports syncs. Their 2014 full-length debut\, Oh\, What A Life\, achieved gold status\, while the follow-up What We Live For\, spawned another Top 20 hit\, “Go Big or Go Home\,” in 2016. Along the way\, they sold out shows around the globe and ignited stages at festivals\, including Lollapalooza\, Firefly Music Festival\, BottleRock Napa Valley\, Reading Festival\, and Leeds Festival\, to name a few. \nThe band is putting the finishing touches on their 5th full length LP\, Call Your Mother\, due in October 2024\, that includes the new folk-tinged singles “Daisies”\, “My Last Dime”\, and “Can’t Stand the Mourning”.

SUMMARY:In Bloom Listening Series featuring The Implications Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light Julian Mendoza
DESCRIPTION:11/21/24\nGA Seating 6:00pm doors / 6:30pm show\n18+\, anyone under 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult $12 \nThe Implications: Combining the talents of some of Gloucester’s finest performers\, “The Implications” consist of the amazing songstress Millie Manning and her hauntingly beautiful voice\, teamed with powerful vocals and commanding performances of the incomparable John Jerome\, all anchored by the incredibly versatile and gifted Mr. Geoff Small on guitar and vocal as well. Harmonies abound\, with moving original compositions and a curated selection of cover songs to bring it all together. \nRachel Sumner and Traveling Light: Fresh off a first place win at the 2023 Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival band competition\, Rachel Sumner has been captivating audiences throughout the northeast. With songs as sweet and biting as the nectar and venom in her voice\, Sumner’s lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something far beyond folk conventions. \nSumner is no stranger to the stage. She spent her early career on the bluegrass circuit\, singing and writing with the genre-bending roots group Twisted Pine. Since setting out on her own\, Sumner’s songs have been critically acclaimed: winning the 2021 John Lennon Award in the folk category for her song “Radium Girls (Curie Eleison);” earning a spot in the Kerrville New Folk Competition; and being chosen four consecutive years as one of the top Massachusetts entries in NPR’s Tiny Desk Competition. Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light released their debut LP in the summer of 2022 to critical acclaim. \nJulian Mendoza: Julian Mendoza is amorphous. Floating gracefully through the space between hip-hop\, soul\, jazz\, and much more\, the Massachusetts singer-rapper-songwriter has been likened to boundary-pushers such as OutKast\, Dominic Fike\, and Frank Ocean. \nWhile these comparisons alone paint an eclectic picture\, Mendoza’s versatility may be best represented by his wealth of genre-bending collaborative work. Artists that appear in his discography range from Rei Kimura of indie pop-rock band Moxie to Grammy-nominated Dreamville affiliate DaVionne and underground hip-hop rising star Blvck Svm. Mendoza’s latest body of work\, the 14-track “Beneath My Wings\,” features contributions from more than 40 musicians\, writers\, and engineers.

SUMMARY:Amy Helm
DESCRIPTION:Fri 11/22/24\nReserved Floor & Reserved Rail seating or G.A. Standing\, $42-$32\n7pm Doors / 7:30pm Show. 21+\, Positive I.D. Required \nThis will be a full band performance! \nWhen creating her fourth album\, the soulful and reflective Silver City\, Amy Helm was guided by her North Star: women’s voices. “Women whispering\, singing\, shouting their stories – speaking the truth. I wanted to dig into that inherited narrative and reach for what I could.” The epistolary anthology is a collection of conversations that travel through time\, exploring and celebrating womanhood in all its complexities. Silver City blends the folk twang of Helm’s childhood with gospel and soul\, drawing inspiration from varied stories: the life of Helm’s great-grandmother\, the story of a young fan struggling with substance abuse\, Helm’s own life as a single mother and hard-touring singer. Recorded at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock\, New York\, and produced by Josh Kaufman\, the album finds Helm exploring themes of womanhood\, single motherhood\, and personal struggles\, offering songs that are deeply personal and narrative-driven. With Silver City\, Helm embraces the beauty of age\, survival\, and transformation through her powerful\, story-rooted performances.

The last time was an evening in D.C.\, and by the end of it I realized our chemistry and the unusual combo of us\, as well as the fact that Ari has an amazing voice\, would make for a really great cabaret show. And kapow! We’re doing it! What I love most is it’s fresh and ever-changing.” \nShapiro added\, “When Alan first suggested that we create a show together\, I didn’t quite believe him. Then as we started to dig in to this collaboration\, I realized how much our professional lives actually complement each other. We’re both storytellers who try to help audiences better understand themselves and the world around them. This show lets us explore those shared ideals on stage together\, through stories and songs.”

SUMMARY:Vijay Iyer Trio
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as “one of the truly great jazz musicians of our time” (Stereophile) and “extravagantly gifted… brilliantly eclectic” (The New Yorker)\, pianist Vijay Iyer brings his telepathic trio to Rockport with music from his latest ECM album\, Compassion. \n“It’s as if this band wants to both seduce you and discomfit you\, stripping you of everything but the ability to think and see for yourself.”\n– New York Times \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nDescribed by The New York Times as a “social conscience\, multimedia collaborator\, system builder\, rhapsodist\, historical thinker and multicultural gateway\,” Vijay Iyer has carved out a unique path as an influential\, prolific\, shape-shifting presence in twenty-first-century music. A composer and pianist active and revered across multiple musical communities\, Iyer has created a consistently innovative\, emotionally resonant body of work over the last twenty-five years\, earning him a place as one of the leading music-makers of his generation. \nHis honors include a MacArthur Fellowship\, a Doris Duke Performing Artist Award\, a United States Artist Fellowship\, three Grammy nominations\, the Alpert Award in the Arts\, the Greenfield Prize\, a Dutch “Edison” Prize\, and two German “Echo” awards; he was also voted DownBeat Magazine’s Jazz Artist of the Year four times. He has been praised by Pitchfork as “one of the best in the world at what he does\,” by the Los Angeles Weekly as “a boundless and deeply important young star\,” and by Minnesota Public Radio as “an American treasure.” \nIyer’s musical language is indebted to the great composer-pianists from Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk to Alice Coltrane and Geri Allen\, the rhythmic traditions of South Asia and West Africa\, and the African American creative music movement of the 60s and 70s. In February 2024 Iyer released Compassion (ECM Records)\, the second recording by his much-admired trio with drummer Tyshawn Sorey and bassist Linda May Han Oh. The New York Times observed\, “It’s as if this band wants to both seduce you and discomfit you\, stripping you of everything but the ability to think and see for yourself.” Other recent releases include Love In Exile (Verve\, 2023)\, a Grammy-nominated collaboration with vocalist Arooj Aftab and bassist Shahzad Ismaily; Uneasy (ECM Records\, 2021)\, the acclaimed first trio session with Sorey and Oh; Far From Over (ECM\, 2017) with the award-winning Vijay Iyer Sextet; and A Cosmic Rhythm with Each Stroke (ECM\, 2016) a suite of duets with visionary composer-trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith. \nIyer is an active composer for classical ensembles and soloists\, with works premiered by Brentano Quartet\, Imani Winds\, Parker Quartet\, Bang on a Can All-Stars\, The Silk Road Ensemble\, Sō Percussion\, International Contemporary Ensemble\, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra\, East Coast Chamber Orchestra\, LA Philharmonic\, London Philharmonic\, Oregon Symphony\, American Composers Orchestra\, and virtuosi Matt Haimowitz\, Mishka Rushdie Momen\, Claire Chase\, Inbal Segev\, Sarah Rothenberg\, Shai Wosner\, and Jennifer Koh. The Boston Modern Orchestra Project produced a portrait album\, Trouble (BMOP/sound 2024)\, comprising three of Iyer’s orchestral works. Iyer recently served as composer-in-residence at London’s Wigmore Hall\, music director of the Ojai Music Festival\, and artist-in-residence at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. His scores are published by Schott Music. \nA tireless collaborator\, he has written big-band music for Arturo O’Farrill and Darcy James Argue\, remixed classic recordings of Talvin Singh and Meredith Monk\, joined forces with legendary musicians Henry Threadgill\, Reggie Workman\, Zakir Hussain\, and L. Subramanian\, and developed interdisciplinary work with Teju Cole\, Carrie Mae Weems\, Mike Ladd\, Julie Mehretu\, and Prashant Bhargava.

SUMMARY:Ruf Records 30 Years Anniversary Tour
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating 30 years of Ruf Records \nGet Ready for an historic evening of Blues and Blues Rock\, commemorating 30 years of Ruf Records with a star – studded celebration featuring the Grammy Award – nominated Samantha Fish\, who has soared to the pinnacle of the Blues Rock scene with her fiery guitar skills and soulful vocals. Samantha started her career on Ruf Records\, where she was given the creative freedom to grow and express herself\, fostering an environment that allowed her unique sound to flourish. Samantha and her band will be joined on stage by the legendary Mitch Ryder. Known for one of the tightest and most hard – hitting blue – eyed soul acts of the 1960s\, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels broke out of the Motor City to become major stars\, racking up five Top 30 singles over 1966 and 1967. Ryder’s influence reverberates through the blue – collar rock music of icons like Bob Seger\, John Mellencamp\, and Bruce Springsteen. \nBut first\, witness the pioneers of Blues Rock\, the legendary Canned Heat\, playing their iconic hits including “Going Up the Country\,” “Let’s Work Together\,” and the band’s biggest hit “On the Road Again.” Hailing from Los Angeles\, California\, and formed in 1965\, Canned Heat is among the unsung heroes of 60’s rock\, famed as one of its best live acts and one of its most enduring forces. Featuring Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra\, Dale Spalding\, Rick Reed\, and Jimmy Vivino\, the band is currently touring in support of their new chart – topping Ruf Records release “Finyl Vinyl.” Canned Heat will be joined on stage by Bernard Allison. Allison is a Chicago native and is the youngest son of Luther Allison and longtime member of his father’s band. Allison has become a popular artist in his own right while faithfully keeping his dad’s musical legacy alive. Bernard and his father Luther are both Ruf Records artists. \nTo kick off the evening\, Ruf Records’ rising star Ghalia Volt will bring her unique One Woman Band to the stage. Recently highlighted on “60 Minutes\,” Ghalia blends traditional Blues with modern influences\, and her innovative approach and authentic sound highlight her dedication to preserving and evolving the rich legacy of North Mississippi Blues.

SUMMARY:Caspian
DESCRIPTION:Long-running cinematic rock band Caspian don’t want you to call their fifth album a “redemption\,” a “comeback\,” a “rise from the ashes\,” or any of the other sentiments that emerge when bands return from nearly five years of silence. “I’ve grown weary of reading about bands discuss the renewing\, rehabilitative properties their most recent [album] has had on them\,” says guitarist/keyboardist Philip Jamieson. “They incur corrosion\, come close to running out of gas\, descend into the dark abyss\, and finally emerge on the other side with a record that has given them crystal clear perspective and a confident path forward. On Circles is not that record.” \nInstead\, this majestic collision of post-rock\, metal\, shoegaze\, electronics\, noise\, minimalism and ambient music is an existential meditation\, an acceptance of the cyclical nature of both life and career. Recorded at Studio 4 in Conshohocken\, PA\, by producer Will Yip (Code Orange\, Defeater\, Quicksand\, Turnstile)\, On Circles marks the most organic writing and recording sessions in Caspian’s 15-year history. Together for four weeklong songwriting sessions\, the band (joined by propulsive new drummer Justin Forrest)\, opted for music gleaming with visceral impact instead of over-thought tangles\, over-arching concepts and drawn-out crescendos \nOn Circles is an art-rock record swirling with fourth-world saxophones\, dubby textures\, 7/8 rhythms and hard-sawed cello from Jo Quail (Myrkyr\, Winterfylleth\, Poppy Ackroyd). The band stretches out to make room for guitarist Jonny Ashburn’s melodic interplay (“Division Blues”)\, bassist Jani Zubkovs’ punk shredding (“Collapser”) and the mandolin of founding member Calvin Joss (“Flowers of Light”). Guitarist Erin Burke-Moran wrote a pastoral-to-epic\, chamber-rock journey (“Ishmael”) as a tribute to eight months spent on the Appalachian trail. The wistful “Nostalgist” features vocals from Kyle Durfey of fellow Northeastern alterna-rock grandeur artists Piano Becomes the Teeth. For the first time\, each track is meant to stand alone. \n“They’re just songs that we got together and wrote over the course of a year while trying to have a good time and reclaim whatever it is that’s simple about all of this\,” says Jamieson. “Don’t get me wrong\, we kicked our own asses constantly and stayed up staring at the ceiling thinking about song structures all night for a year here … but being free from the yolk of having our music relentlessly try to answer the un-answerable was emancipating and humbling.” \nThe band’s deeply personal 2015 LP Dust and Disquiet was a concept record about grief\, dealing with the emotions after losing friend and bassist Chris Friedrich in 2013. After the two years of global touring that followed\, Caspian took their first-ever long term hiatus – or what Jamieson called “an overdue emotional inventory.” The reflection raised questions about the friction between artistic inspiration and financial reality\, the increasingly demystified trudge of road life\, and if “the healing power of music” is even a realistic expectation after all. During that time Jamieson personally traversed an “ugly grey underworld of depression\, lethargy and emotional ambivalence\,” inspiring the lyrics to the title track. \n“Music is a mediator to the unspeakable\, and the unspeakable is always by definition out of reach\, moving somewhere invisibly along the closed curve of a circle\,” says Jamieson. “Acknowledging all this\, what if we just made an album for the simple sake of making music\, with as few existential expectations as we are capable\, with as much of our self-importance sidelined as possible in order to facilitate that?” \nEschewing many of the giant\, enveloping wall-of-guitar build-ups of past Caspian albums\, the songs inside On Circles even take circular paths\, with no beginning or ends. \n“Life isn’t a series of epic crescendos\, ” says Jamieson. “Sometimes it’s the hint of one (‘Onsra’)\, or a sequential series of crescendos that come in waves but aren’t set up to go for an obvious jugular (‘Wildblood\,’ ‘Ishmael’)\, or end up in a completely different place than where you expected\, but pivot at the very last moment back to their beginning (‘Division Blues’).”

SUMMARY:THE LAST WALTZ Celebration featuring The THE BAND Band & Special Guests
