SUMMARY:Celtic Baroque
DESCRIPTION:Tonight\, we hear music from Ireland\, Quebec\, Germany and New England with an interweaving thread of Baroque Music and techniques. At a time when Telemann and Bach were composing fugues in continental Europe\, the Bardic harping tradition was alive and vibrant in Ireland resulting in a whole repertoire of Irish harp tunes that are now carried via pipes\, fiddles and a host of different instruments. We have the stunning sounds of Montreal-based violist Alexis Chartrand\, bringing his unique Gut-bow approach to traditional Quebec repertoire. In contrast\, the GRAMMY-nominated violinist Christina Day\, along with theorbist Michael Leopold\, performs one of Heinrich Biber’s Mystery Sonatas. Artistic Director Maeve Gilchrist will also bring in longtime collaborator Kyle Sanna and bassist Logan Coale to premier some new music for harp and electric guitar inspired by a Seamus Heaney translation of a middle English Poem on the mysticism of Hares! Don’t miss this richly imaginative evening of 17th century inspired exploration in a completely contemporary fashion!

Greg’s work extends beyond music—he co-wrote and directed The Independents\, inspired by the band’s real-life experiences\, and often collaborates with his wife\, Tony-winner Kelli O’Hara. Brian Chartrand\, a celebrated Phoenix-based songwriter\, has released numerous solo albums and tours internationally\, including as the creator of Live From Laurel Canyon\, a critically acclaimed tribute to folk-rock legends like CSN\, Neil Young\, and Joni Mitchell. \nWith Embers\, The Sweet Remains continue their legacy\, following in the footsteps of their beloved catalog: Music Fills The Spaces (2020)\, Night Songs (2015)\, North & Prospect (2012)\, and Laurel & Sunset (2008).

SUMMARY:Hot Sardines
DESCRIPTION:Since their early days performing for Brooklyn’s wild underground parties\, the Hot Sardines have skyrocketed to fame with their infectious brand of reinvigorated classic jazz. Described by The New York Times as “potent and assured” and The Times of London as “simply phenomenal\,” the group has earned them more than 60 million digital streams across platforms. \nThe Hot Sardines released C’est La Vie\, a bilingual affair of vintage jazz standards and originals written by Bougerol and Palazzo\, in August 2023. The title song\, a Bossa nova original in French\, is a timely ode to fully living each moment\, even when you don’t know what the next will bring. Unable to travel home in past years\, Elizabeth spent time rediscovering and recording early French music\, including the 1938 gypsy-jazz breezer “J’attendrai” (Dino Olivieri\, Louis Poterat)\, the dark Django Reinhardt ballad “Si Tu Savais” (Georges Ulmer)\, and “I Wish You Love\,” the 1942 standard by Charles Trenet and Léo Chauliac\, with English lyrics by Albert Beach. \n“We called our last album Welcome Home\, Bon Voyage because we were literally always getting on a plane. We were so lucky to have that success\, and we were finally able to reflect on it\,” says Elizabeth. Adds Evan\, “So we said\, What do we want to do now? It turned out we really wanted to write and record more music.” The pair focused on a stripped-down sound to record remotely\, calling on collaborators from Los Angeles to Beijing\, using very 21st-century technology to record songs written nearly 100 years ago.

SUMMARY:Michael Dutra & the Strictly Sinatra Band
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as one of the finest interpreters of the Sinatra sound in the world\, Rhode Island native Michael Dutra has been performing his tribute to Frank Sinatra across the nation—from Las Vegas to Miami to Boston—since 2002.

SUMMARY:Big Richard
DESCRIPTION:Big Richard brings their electrifying harmonies\, fiery virtuosity and bold bluegrass energy to Rockport! Fresh off the release of their acclaimed debut album Girl Dinner\, this all-female supergroup delivers a must-see night of high-energy musicianship and irreverent charm. \nSince exploding onto the Colorado scene in 2021\, the four women of the supergroup Big Richard have been on a wild ride. Although they showed up to their first gig armed with homemade puff paint t-shirts\, a load of crass jokes\, and all dressed intentionally like Stevie Nicks\, from the first few notes of their tight vocal harmonies\, dazzling string virtuosity\, and clever arrangements\, no one had any choice but to take them seriously. \nDetermined to be more than a one-night stand\, Big Richard hit the road. They slapped as hard as possible on the festival circuit\, worked up their stamina on nationwide headlining tours\, and left a wake of die-hard Big Richard Heads across the country swooning for their honest songwriting\, chilling vocals\, and fiddle-driven barn-burners. \nFueled by a steady diet of gas station snacks\, Big Richard is currently touring their debut full-length studio album Girl Dinner\, following a whirlwind year that included performances on PBS’ the Cavern Sessions\, NPR’s World Cafe\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival\, Delfest\, Bourbon and Beyond\, Jam Cruise\, and New Year’s Eve at the Ryman in Nashville. \nThey often refer to themselves as the gremlins of the bluegrass world\, and the gremlins are: platinum recording artist Bonnie Sims\, who rips the mandolin and smells like Snoop Dogg’s sock drawer; road dog Eve Panning\, who toured extensively with the fiddle band Barrage and has trained her dog to murder on command; bassist Hazel Royer\, plucked from the sidewalk in front of Berklee\, can probably communicate with crows; and Dr. Joy Adams\, who would just rather be skiing.

SUMMARY:School of Rock
DESCRIPTION:After being kicked out of his rock band\, Dewey Finn becomes a substitute teacher of an uptight elementary private school\, only to try and turn his class into a rock band. \nSchool of Rock (2003) is a high-energy comedy that became a cult classic\, blending rock ‘n’ roll with heartfelt humor and an uplifting message about self-expression.

Praised for its infectious energy\, stellar performances\, and a killer classic rock soundtrack\, School of Rock was a critical and commercial success\, earning over $130 million worldwide. Its legacy continued with a hit Broadway musical adaptation and an Emmy-nominated TV series\, proving that its message—rock music has the power to inspire—resonates across generations.
