SUMMARY:Bokani Dyer at The Cut
DESCRIPTION:Reserved Seating $30 + $6.95 service fee\nGA Standing $20 + $6.95 service fee\n7:00pm Doors / 7:30pm Show\n18+ \nBokani Dyer is a South African pianist\, composer and producer. Born in 1986 in Gaborone\, Botswana – where many artists from South Africa\, including his father\, musician Steve Dyer\, were living in exile during apartheid – Dyer moved to South Africa as a child in 1993. Having musicians around in his early life gave Bokani the profound insight into the life of a musician and sparked a keen interested in pursuing music as a career. After taking up formal piano studies at age 14 for 4 years\, he was accepted intro the Jazz programme at the University of Cape Town where he graduated in 2008 with an Honours degree in Performance and Composition with distinction. He is a part of The Bokani Dyer Trio – Bokani Dyer (piano)\, Romy Brauteseth (bass) and Sphelelo Mazibuko (drums). Bokani has recorded three jazz albums to critical acclaim. \nAlongside his jazz career\, Bokani also explores various other genres including electronic music\, classical piano\, and salsa. These various influences have made him aware of the versatility of the piano as an instrument. ‘In my own compositions\, I have consciously allowed all of the music which I have encountered to flow into my music to create a new idea of “world music” where there is music with no borders\,’ he explains. This led to an interest in exploring traditional styles of music from Africa\, particularly percussion rhythms.

And their Top 40 smash hit with Carlene Carter “I Couldn’t Say No” still stands as an 80’s classic. When Robert moved to Nashville to write and produce (Taylor Swift\, Reba McEntire\, Lindsay Lohan)\, Kook\, Don and David lent their talents to artists like Peter Wolf (J. Geils)\, Barry Goudreau & Brad Delp (Boston)\, Carlene Carter\, Brian Maes\, Nick Lowe and many more. Robert Ellis Orrall has had over 350 songs (and five #1 songs) cut around the world and soundtracked in TV and movies llke “The Bourne Identity”\, “Hannah Montana” and “Freaky Friday”. He produced tracks for Love and Theft\, Cake Bake Betty and Taylor Swift’s 10X Platinum debut and followup EP. The band regrouped to reminisce\, tour and record “467 Surf And Gun Club”\, an album John Hiatt called “absolutely joyful”\, Michael McDonald called “relevant and timeless’\, and said American Songwriter “The melodies\, counter melodies\, and killer performances constitute a unique blend of ‘60s-pop-meets-modernindie songwriting.” The band is touring from now to forever\, playing songs from all of their albums and albums to come\, listed below. The old cliche “Let’s get the band back together” has come to life with these four best friends playing their best music.

SUMMARY:Albert Castiglia
DESCRIPTION:Reserved Seating $34.50 + $6.95 service fee\nGA Standing $19.50 + $6.95 service fee\n6:30pm Doors / 7:00pm Show\n18+ \nAlbert Castiglia pronounced “ka-STEEL-ya” is Keepin On With the release of his 5th CD.\nCastiglia’s history is as colorful as his home town of Miami\, Florida. He got a big break after meeting Junior Wells in 1996\, and became Junior’s lead guitar player before Wells died in 1998. After Wells passed\, he toured with Sandra Hall. Returning to South Florida after launching his solo career releasing his first CD\, Burn (2002)\, a self-release\, collaborating with his long time friend\, Graham Wood Drout. Drout’s songs became the perfect vehicle for Castiglia’s soulful vocals. In 2006\, he released A Stone’s Throw\, his second album and first release for Blues Leaf Record. Castiglia and Drout also released a live CD together\, titled Bittersweet Sessions\, in 2005.His 2008 CD\, These are the Days contained five original Castiglia songs\, including a tribute to his mentor Junior Wells\, “Godfather of the Blues.” The cover songs from These are the Days paid tribute to a wide range of styles and artists. These are the Days earned him a Blues Music Award nomination for “Song of the Year” for his original\, “Bad Year Blues.” Castiglia was nominated again by the Illinois Blues Blast Awards and walked away a winner for “Song of the Year” for “Bad Year Blues\,” as well as being nominated for the “Sean Costello Rising Star Award.” Keepin On features five new original tunes\, plus other covers of songs by John Lee Hooker\, Mack Rice\, T-Bone Walker\, Robert Nighthawk and Bob Dylan “I did two acoustic songs and enlisted dobro genius Toby Walker for them\,’ says Castiglia about the new CD. “Toby came in originally to play on a song I wrote called ‘Sweet Southern Angel.’ That went so well and quickly\, that we wound up doing another number for the hell of it\, Robert Nighthawk’s ‘Murderin’ Blues.’ I can honestly sum up those two tunes with one word\, ‘Magic.’\nThe result is a fascinating journey into what Albert feels is his best work to date.

They quickly became one of top bands in the city – winning awards\, selling out shows and playing major jazz festivals across the country.

The club asked if the Heavy Metal Horns could play a show as one of the clubs most popular acts. This show was amazing and the audience said we had to keep playing.

SUMMARY:DJ Logic and Friends with special guest G. Love
DESCRIPTION:8/14/25\nReserved Seating $59.50\nStanding $39.50\n6:30pm Doors\, 7:30pm Show\n21+\, Positive I.D. Required \nDJ Logic \nThe theorem of turntablist as musician has been long proven in the capable hands of DJ LOGIC\, whom with jazz as his foundation has become a wax innovator by crossing genres and mixing his sound across the map. As one of the world’s most accomplished turntablist’s\, DJ LOGIC is widely credited for introducing jazz into the hip – hop realms and is considered by most as a highly respected session musician and an innovative bandleader.\nSince his emergence in the early nineties amidst the Bronx hip-hop scene\, the New York City based deejay has been amassing a veritable mountain of collaborations\, including full fledged bands with members of BLUES TRAVELER (THE JOHN POPPER PROJECT FEATURING DJ LOGIC)\, a trio with STEVE MOLITZ & FREEKBASS (HEADTRONICS)\, a jazz project with Georgian prodigy BEKA GOCHIASVILI\, to being a member of the Grammy winning Arturo O’Farrill & The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra’s The Offense of the Drum album. He also has a long list of other collaborations with artists ranging from the likes of: MEDESKI MARTIN AND WOOD\, CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE\, O.A.R.\, CARLY SIMON\, MARCUS MILLER\, JACK JOHNSON\, VERNON REID\, WARREN HAYNES\, CHARLIE HUNTER\, JACK DeJOHNETTE\, JOHN MAYER\, BEN HARPER\, MOS DEF and THE ROOTS\, to name but a few.\nDJ LOGIC and his role as an electronic-music ambassador keeps him at the top of his game. Whether the scratch artist instructs tablas to flirt with drum ‘n’ bass (such as on his NINA SIMONE and BILLY HOLIDAY remixes found on Sony Legacy’s Remixed and Reimagined volumes) \, or while meshing free styling MC’s with Afro-Cuban rhythms (such as on ‘Share Worldwide Funk’ – a remix produced for JACK DeJOHNETTE and Golden Beams Collected\, Volume 1 ) or while remixing tracks for rock bands such as MOON TAXI\, LOGIC can always be found paying homage to his predecessors while contributing his vision to the deejay genre. \nG. Love \nG. Love & Special Sauce is an American Hip-Hop Blues band known for its unique fusion of hip-hop\, blues\, funk\, and soul. Formed in 1993 in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, the band originally featured Garrett Dutton\, aka G. Love\, as the lead vocalist and guitarist\, Jeffrey Clemens on drums\, and Jim Prescott on bass. The trio quickly gained attention for their laid-back\, groovy style and G. Love’s unique vocal delivery\, blending rap-like spoken word with bluesy singing. Their debut self-titled album\, G. Love & Special Sauce\, was released in 1994 on Epic Records and included the hit single “Cold Beverage\,” which became popular on alternative radio stations and MTV\, solidifying their presence in the music scene. The band’s style has been described as a mix of “slacker blues” and “alternative hip-hop\,” as they frequently incorporate elements of 90s hip-hop beats with classic blues rhythms. Over the years\, G. Love & Special Sauce has released numerous albums\, including Coast to Coast Motel (1995)\, Yeah\, It’s That Easy (1997)\, The Electric Mile (2001) and the GRAMMY nominated The Juice (2020). Their sound evolved to include more soul\, R&B\, and rock influences\, though they retained their laid-back vibe and clever lyrical play. Their 2014 album Sugar saw a reunion of the original lineup after several years\, and they continued to tour and produce music with a loyal fan base. Known for their energetic live performances\, G. Love & Special Sauce has played at festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. Garrett Dutton also frequently collaborates with other artists\, including Jack Johnson\, with whom he shares a similar vibe\, and has released solo projects that dive deeper into his blues influences. G. Love & Special Sauce remains a beloved name in the music scene\, blending genres in a way that feels fresh and authentic. \nRay Paczkowski\nKeyboards\, Trey Anastasio Band \nBen Atkind\nDrummer\, formerly of Goose \nNate Edgar\nBassist The Nth Power

Required \nTHE DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND \nCelebrating over 45 years since their founding in 1977\, the GRAMMY Award-winning New Orleans-based Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres\, including bebop jazz\, funk and R&B/soul. This unique sound\, described by the band as a “musical gumbo”\, has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across five continents and more than thirty countries\, record twelve studio albums and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Widespread Panic to Norah Jones. Forty-five plus years later\, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world-famous music machine whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances. \nRoger Lewis – Baritone Sax/Vocals\nGregory Davis – Trumpet/Vocals\nKirk Joseph – Sousaphone Trevarri\nHuff-Boone – Tenor Sax/Vocals\nStephen Walker – Trombone/Vocals\nJulian Addison – Drums\nTakeshi Shimmura – Guitar \nTHE HISTORY OF THE DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND In 1977\, The Dirty Dozen Social Aid and Pleasure Club in New Orleans began showcasing a traditional Crescent City brass band. It was a joining of two proud\, but antiquated\, traditions at the time: social aid and pleasure clubs dated back over a century to a time when black southerners could rarely afford life insurance\, and the clubs would provide proper funeral arrangements. Brass bands\, early predecessors of jazz as we know it\, would often follow the funeral procession playing somber dirges\, then once the family of the deceased was out of earshot\, burst into jubilant dance tunes as casual onlookers danced in the streets. By the late ’70s\, few of either existed. The Dirty Dozen Social Aid and Pleasure Club decided to assemble this group as a house band\, and over the course of these early gigs\, the seven-member ensemble adopted the venue’s name: The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

SUMMARY:Captain Jack and the Strangers - Jack's Bday Bash!
DESCRIPTION:8/2/2025\n$32 Reserved Seats / $26 GA Standing\n21+ / Positive I.D. Required.\n7p doors / 8p show \nCaptain Jack & The Strangers\, comprised of six individuals hailing from Gloucester\, MA (45 min north of Boston) with over 30 years experience in music and performance. The band is fronted by 24 year old piano phenom\, Jack Favazza\, who brings a youthful exuberance to this classic American songbook. This group plays a wide catalogue of music from America’s own Piano Man\, Billy Joel\, spanning his entire musical career from the 70’s\, 80’s\, and 90’s. Playing both well known hits\, alongside of b-side fan favorites\, there are surely songs to appease any audience member. \nWith a long standing passion for the music of Billy Joel\, the band formed in late 2022\, after founding members had seen a performance of Billy at the legendary Fenway Park in Boston\, MA during the summer of that same year. That performance solidified the decision to perform Billy Joel’s music to as many people as possible. Gloucester has a long history of talented artists\, and Captain Jack & The Strangers is no different. A local “supergroup” of musicians from well known acts such as Groove Therapy\, The Spynz\, Mystery Meat\, and the Neon 90’s have formed this group to bring you the high energy\, soft somber moments\, and everything in between that Billy Joel is so well known for. Listening to any song at a show will surely invoke your favorite memories and emotions when you hear a specific Billy Joel song done in a way that only Captain Jack & The Strangers can do.

Walker currently tours the country 35 to 45 weeks a year performing live\, and guesting on game shows and late night television. In his spare time he writes scripts for TV and movies\, and continues to enjoy a comedy career now approaching five decades.
