Presented by Patio Records&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"&gt;Proceeds will go towards caring for the Pratt Family Healing Garden at Mount Auburn Hospital.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"&gt;JAMIE WALKER and Friends&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"&gt;Jamie Walker is the guitarist and vocalist for the legendary Swinging Steaks and has been the lead guitar player and vocalist with Susan Cattaneo. As another young kid inspired by the Beatles’ appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, Jamie Walker started writing songs on the school bus in 2nd grade. What do you do when you are obsessed with songs and the guitar in particular? You learn how to play and find some friends to play with!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"&gt;Jamie fronted and fueled several Boston bands with his songs in the 1980s; the Lines, the Drive (V66 and MTV Basement Tapes), and finally, Swinging Steaks (Capricorn Records 1990 to present). A few of his songs became Boston radio staples on WBCN, WCOZ, WZLX, and WAAF in Worcester and have appeared in Hollywood movies and on tv. Jamie has made some friends over the years and has some old friends along too. So this is about more than just the music.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"&gt;On this particular evening will be a veritable all-star cast, including:&lt;br /&gt;
Laurie Young (vocals, trumpet) brings the role of the goddess to the forefront and co-fronts the band&lt;br /&gt;
Joe Donnelly (drums) of the Del Fuegos, Swinging Steaks, and Wall of Grass&lt;br /&gt;
Pat Dreier (Keyboards, vocals) of the Lines and the Drive&lt;br /&gt;
Dave Weden (guitar/banjo) and Clayton Young (bass, vocals) of John Cate and the Van Gough Brothers&lt;br /&gt;
Dennis Semprebon (drums and percussion) of Craig Carter and the Hurricanes&lt;br /&gt;
Brad Kohl (saxophone) of Hot Acoustics and Group Therapy&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"&gt;They play roots rock music, that is, songs wrapped in elements of rock, pop, country, soul, R&amp;B, and blues.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"&gt;The Gravel Project featuring Jen Kearney&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s"&gt;Initially created by Andrew Gravel (vocals, guitar), The Gravel Project is an all-star band of Boston music veterans, including brother, Jordan Gravel (organ, keys), Dave Fox (drums), and Eguie Castrillo (percussion). The Gravel Project’s live show blends rock, world music, and jazz with power and soul. Carrying the tradition of 70’s blues and psychedelic rock music, The Gravel Project embodies the spirit of Santana combined with the classic raw energy and moving songwriting of The Allman Brothers and Tedeschi Trucks Band. With three studio albums, a live album, and countless past performances, the future is bright for Boston’s The Gravel Project, and as the title of their 2022 studio album suggests, there are “Many Miles Ahead.”&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p class="has-text-align-center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;VIP private reception and meet-and-greet in the theater with Barry at 7pm.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you a fan of blues/rock music and classic rock legends? If so, you won’t want to miss the return of &lt;a href="https://www.barrygoudreausengineroom.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to the Mass Arts Center on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Goudreau was the guitarist and founding member of the iconic band &lt;strong&gt;Boston&lt;/strong&gt;, and he has teamed up with his former RTZ bandmates Brian Maes and Tim Archibald to form this dynamic new band that delivers powerful vocals, guitar solos, and catchy melodies, with new songs and ones you’ll recognize from Boston.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guitarist Barry Goudreau, formerly of Boston, recently announced the release of his new CD, “The Road” from his band Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room. Barry’s blues/rock ensemble includes his former RTZ bandmates Brian Maes on lead vocals and keyboards, as well as Tim Archibald on bass. Both Maes and Archibald were members of Peter Wolf’s House Party Five, playing on two of his records and touring the world extensively. The band is rounded out with “Old” Tony DePietro on drums and Mary Beth Maes, Terri O’Soro and Joanie Cicatelli on background vocals. Expect some favorites like “Smokin” and “Long Time” in their live set, alongside songs from the new CD as well as tracks from “Full Steam Ahead”, the 2017 release from Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room.&lt;/p&gt;

They took the opportunity to explore classic songwriting in-depth, performing over a thousand songs during the pandemic. That vast overview strengthened and refined their own writing and laid the foundation for this new collection of original, socially-conscious songs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“After such a deep dive into American roots music, we felt like we had a new set of writing tools. We were ready to create this body of work, and there’s just SO much to write about,” says Maura. “During our five-year hiatus from writing and recording, America changed in massive ways, divisive ways that have shaken our whole foundation. That has to be addressed by creative artists, those of us who have a voice to speak for others. Our love of the great things about this country, things that are under threat, is the reason we decided to make “Headwinds” the title track of the CD. Political and social headwinds are making it hard to get back “home’ to our greatness as a nation. We want to push back in a positive way against those winds.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to singing and writing, Pete and Maura are multi-instrumentalists. The thirteen songs are cast in a soundscape that draws from the classic canon of American roots, in keeping with the theme of getting back “home” as a nation. Acoustic and electric guitars, a vintage steel guitar, a gospel-inflected piano/organ mix, and even a slide ukulele all add colors to a song bag of sounds that have drawn us together during hard times. Pete and Maura believe that those sounds still have the power to pull us through again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Kennedys began their writing and touring life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra, developing their own sound as a frequent support act on Nanci’s tours across America, Ireland, Scotland and England. Collaborations with Nanci continued, culminating in Pete and Maura producing her final album, “Intersections.” Along the way, they hosted a nationwide radio program, “The Dharma Cafe” on Sirius/XM, wrote and released sixteen CDs of original music, and have been core artists on folk radio, expanding their audience further with the inception of the AAA and Americana formats.&lt;/p&gt;

In 1994 Christine Lavin gathered them together, along with folk and Americana artists to showcase music of the Winter Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD, followed by several years of touring collaborations. These artists have released dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades, with fond memories of their touring days together. The winter season is again celebrated by these unique and popular performers, back together by popular demand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://cliffeberhardt.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;CLIFF EBERHARDT&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the most original songsmiths currently on tour, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent, articulate artist whose penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guitar playing. Upon close listening, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from his mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like John Hammond and Richie Havens, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditional and contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whether he’s out on tour solo or with a small band, Eberhardt’s guitar playing, singing, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling, thought-filled, emotional roller coaster of a concert.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.johngorka.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;JOHN GORKA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk scene. Originally from New Jersey, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem, PA, then the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival, in 1984, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he released his landmark first of 17 recordings, I Know. Boston Globe penned Gorka “for the sophisticated intelligence and the provocative originality of his songs.” Recent accolades include 2016’s Indie Acoustic Project’s Best Singer/Songwriter CD of the Year for Before Beginning (Red House Records). 2018 brought his latest release, and 14th of his career, True In Time (Compass Records). True In Time (Compass Records).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;On A Winter’s Night&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://lucykaplansky.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;LUCY KAPLANSKY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“A truly gifted performer…full of enchanting songs” (New York Times). Blending country, folk and pop styles, Lucy has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh, whether singing her own sweet originals, covering country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons, or singing pop favorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. Lucy’s iconic voice has been featured in film and on television, including commercials like Chevrolet’s iconic “Heartbeat of America” jingle. A Billboard-charting singer and one of the top-selling artists on Red House Records, she has topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on shows throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radio to CBS Sunday Morning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers, Lucy has sung on countless records, performing with Suzanne Vega, Bryan Ferry, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://pattylarkin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;PATTY LARKIN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising lyrics and vocals. Acoustic Guitar Magazine hails her, “soundscape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her, “evocative and sonic shading.” She has been described as, “riveting” (Chicago Tribune), “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly), and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter). Recently an Artist-in-Residence at Berklee College of Music – and now on the faculty at Fine Arts Work Center – Larkin reflects, “I have been energized by the poets, writers, and artists I have met while teaching, and find myself on a journey to break down some of the predictable pathways that songs can travel.” Bird in a Cage, her 14th CD now available, puts poems from ten notable poets to song, including US Poet Laureates William Carlos Williams, Stanley Kunitz, Kay Ryan, Robert Pinsky, and Billy Collins, for a new and haunting collection that pulses with the magic of lyricism. Poems are made to be shared aloud, and with Bird, Patty takes up that tradition and sets it aglow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jim Kweskin&lt;/strong&gt; is the founder of the legendary 1960s &lt;a href="https://jimkweskin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Jim Kweskin Jug Band&lt;/a&gt; with Fritz Richmond, Geoff Muldaur, Maria Muldaur, Mel Lyman, and Bruno Wolfe. During the five years they were together, they successfully transformed the sounds of pre-World War II rural music into a springboard for their good-humored performances. Their imitators were legion, including a San Francisco jug band that became the Grateful Dead, a Los Angeles jug band that became the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and a New York jug band that became the Lovin’ Spoonful. No other group attained their unique blend of youthful energy and antiquarian expertise, tight musicianship, loose camaraderie, and infectious swing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concert will feature songs from Jim’s soon-to-be-released recording on StorySound Records, &lt;i&gt;Never Too Late:  Jim Kweskin, Duets with My Friends&lt;/i&gt;, which will be released on Friday, January 26, 2024.  The show will also feature artists and songs from Jim’s storied career, including the renowned and influential Jim Kweskin Jug Band.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scheduled to appear along with Jim Kweskin, are Maria Muldaur, Geoff Muldaur, Samoa Wilson, Annie Raines, Paul Rishell, Juli Crockett, Suzy Thompson, and Matthew Berlin.  Additional artists appearing will be announced soon.&lt;/p&gt;

Her latest “Bright Shining Stars” debuted at #15 on the Billboard Blues Charts. Cascade Blues Association calls it &lt;em&gt;“… tough as rawhide, but smooth as blended whiskey.” &lt;/em&gt; Released Oct 2020 with &lt;a href="https://www.vizztone.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Vizztone &lt;/a&gt;Label Group, it’s a solo acoustic folk/blues record that highlights the one-woman-band live sound she’s honed over the years, featuring guest appearances by talented friends Laurence Scudder, Peter Parcek and Richard “Rosy” Rosenblatt. It includes originals as well as a collection of songs she covers at live shows, paying homage to influences like Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and more, plus the title track “Bright Shining Stars,” written by her husband, Tom Bianchi.&lt;/p&gt;

He has released 14 albums and performed at prestigious festivals and venues, and he’s performed at the Rose Garden probably a half-dozen times over the years. His latest album, “The Mother Of Trouble”, showcases his storytelling skills and diverse musical influences. Vance is the perfect musician to inspire our trio of songwriters participating that night in our 32nd Performing Songwriter Competition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the results might be something close to the great Vance Gilbert”, says Richmond Magazine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vance’s new album, “The Mother Of Trouble”, features Grammy winner Lori McKenna on background vocals, Juno award recipient and Bonnie Raitt Grammy hit song co-writer Joey Landreth on guitars, and Americana-Roots master mandolinist Joe K. Walsh. With 4 bullies, 4 deaths (3 of them murders), 3 moms, 2 accidents, 2 Black people, 2 dogs, 1 dog ball, 1 gay kid, and 1 missed flight thanks to gas station sushi, this album benefits from the gifts of time and experience honing songwriting skills that put this most vital of acoustic storytellers at the top of the game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, and Management wants to make sure to tell you that this is the 14th release for this acoustic stalwart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;30 years into his career, the songwriter’s influence can be felt all over the contemporary Folk and Americana realm as he has helped pave the way for many of the BIPOC artists who have followed.&lt;/p&gt;

Hailed by The Washington Post as “one of Nashville’s finest song interpreters,” &lt;a href="https://www.mattea.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Kathy Mattea&lt;/a&gt; has enjoyed much success and acclaim during her 35-year career in Country, Bluegrass, and Folk music, including 2 Grammy wins, 4 CMA Awards, four #1 country singles, and five gold albums (plus a platinum Greatest Hits collection). Her latest album is “Pretty Bird,” produced by her old friend, roots music wizard Tim O’Brien. The wide-ranging collection of songs chronicles a period of rededication to singing, digging back in with a vocal coach and emerging with a poignant and eclectic CD. In addition to creating and recording music and performing live on tour, Kathy is increasingly involved with public broadcasting, consulting and contributing on screen in Ken Burns’ 2019 documentary for PBS “Country Music,” and recently replacing founder Larry Groce as the host of the long-running NPR show “Mountain Stage.” For more Last Dance Productions events, &lt;a href="https://lastdanceproductions.com/calendar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;click here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;Barry Goudreau, formerly of the multi-platinum-selling band Boston, played on the band’s first two albums, Boston and Don’t Look Back. When released, Boston was the fastest-selling debut album of all time. Both albums landed on the Billboard Pop Charts, with Boston reaching No. 3 and Don’t Look Back reaching No. 1. Goudreau’s music career continued after departing from Boston. He went on to form Orion the Hunter, RTZ, released two records with Brad Delp, and now tours with his band Engine Room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singer/songwriter Robin Lane will open the show. She began her musical career singing with Neil Young on the Everybody Knows This is Nowhere album. In 1979, she formed the renowned band Robin Lane &amp; The Chartbusters, whose hit single “When Things Go Wrong” was the eleventh video broadcast on MTV’s debut day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

That description is not hyperbole. Bonoff has enjoyed critical acclaim, commercial success, enduring popularity, and the unwavering respect of her peers. Karla has seen her songs become hits for Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd, and Linda Ronstadt. Many of Bonoff’s ballads are classics. Karla has continued to record and tour extensively, playing sold-out shows worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hearing Karla’s moving vocals on her rich, expressive songs is like standing beneath a sparkling waterfall–refreshing, exhilarating, and restorative. Experiencing them live can be transformative. Fans and critics agree that Bonoff’s songs, as are her recordings, are timeless.  Many prefer her versions, live with instrumentation that is clean and spare, giving Bonoff’s voice room to work its emotional magic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The performance is a tribute to the exhilarating music of Elton John and Billy Joel…and the concert could be unlike any you’ve seen before! It will combine a five-piece rock band featuring Joe Boucher on the piano singing lead vocal, backed by a four-piece string orchestra section arranged by Christopher Eastburn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The music of “Piano Men” concentrates heavily on the recordings by John and Joel during their 1970’s heyday, when their many hit albums featured lush orchestrations. The concert opens with Billy Joel’s thrilling Prelude / Angry Young Man and works its way through a veritable hit parade alternating songs between the two composers.&lt;/p&gt;

The fact that they were two of the biggest stars of the 20th century was beside the point. One For the Road pays homage to these “brothers” and to a bygone era of swagger and living life to excess.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Patrick Tobin and Jimmy Mazz come together to bring you the ultra cool personalities of “The Chairman Of The Board”, and “The King Of Cool.” Patrick’s look and sound of Sinatra is amplified as he belts out hit after hit while his dry wit is sure to strike your funny bone. Jimmy portrays Dean’s signature look, swagger and smooth vocal style as he sings the hits while delivering the one-liners and jokes that made Dean a phenomena.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to Sinatra and Martin classics, the show will sprinkle in holiday favorites, like “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Happy Holidays,” “Let It Snow,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” “The Christmas Waltz,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” “Jingle Bells,” “White Christmas,” and many more!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Together these two bring back old Vegas, with a new twist or two as they’re sure to wow you with their wit and classic style entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;

​&lt;br /&gt;
A passionate performer, Mike’s songs are visceral and evocative. He is proud of his roots and many of his songs deal with his gritty blue collar hometown and the lives of his family and friends. He is a winner of the 2017 Wildflower, TX songwriting contest, the 2016 Woody Guthrie songwriting contest and a 2016 Kerrville New Folk, TX finalist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mike is also a skilled recording engineer, producer and veteran sideman. He produced and recorded all of his albums in his home studio and he served twelve years as the bass player for the legendary New York City &lt;strong&gt;FAST FOLK&lt;/strong&gt; Musical Magazine founder, Jack Hardy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;​Mike has released four albums to date, &lt;em&gt;Pushing Back Wintertime (2013), Road Signs (2015),&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Tightrope (2017) &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;I come from Fall River (2021)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bristol-RI-based singer-songwriter &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100052711391993" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michelle Saylors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was raised on a 30-acre farm in bible-belt Tennessee. Early musical inspirations include country, bluegrass-gospel, folk and Memphis blues. Michelle performed bluegrass music in the early 90s at festivals such as Lester Flat Bluegrass Festival and the Country Showdown. Michelle moved to New England in 1998 and landed in Rhode Island in 2009 where she became involved in the Rhode Island Songwriters Association. Michelle played at the Bluebird Café in Nashville at Songwriters open mics on several occasions. Michelle performed at the Providence Folk Festival in 2014 and the Rhode Island Folk Festival in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

The album has been well-received by fans and continues to gain momentum on streaming platforms nationally and recently hit the UK. Her songwriting is rooted both physically and metaphorically by the space and distance between small town Tennessee and coastal New England. Michelle is currently working on her second album. She identifies her musical style as Nashville blues-country/bluegrass/folk.&lt;/p&gt;

In 1994, Christine Lavin gathered them together, along with folk and Americana artists, to showcase the music of the Winter Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD, followed by several years of touring collaborations. These artists have released dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades, with fond memories of their touring days together. The winter season is again celebrated by these unique and popular performers, back together by popular demand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://cliffeberhardt.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;CLIFF EBERHARDT&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the most original songsmiths currently on tour, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent, articulate artist whose penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guitar playing. Upon close listening, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from his mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like John Hammond and Richie Havens, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditional and contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whether he’s out on tour solo or with a small band, Eberhardt’s guitar playing, singing, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling, thought-filled, emotional roller coaster of a concert.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.johngorka.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;JOHN GORKA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk scene. Originally from New Jersey, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem, PA, then the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival, in 1984, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he released his landmark first of 17 recordings, I Know. Boston Globe penned Gorka “for the sophisticated intelligence and the provocative originality of his songs.” Recent accolades include 2016’s Indie Acoustic Project’s Best Singer/Songwriter CD of the Year for Before Beginning (Red House Records). 2018 brought his latest release, and 14th of his career, True In Time (Compass Records). True In Time (Compass Records).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://lucykaplansky.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;LUCY KAPLANSKY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“A truly gifted performer…full of enchanting songs” (New York Times). Blending country, folk and pop styles, Lucy has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh, whether singing her own sweet originals, covering country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons, or singing pop favorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. Lucy’s iconic voice has been featured in film and on television, including commercials like Chevrolet’s iconic “Heartbeat of America” jingle. A Billboard-charting singer and one of the top-selling artists on Red House Records, she has topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on shows throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radio to CBS Sunday Morning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers, Lucy has sung on countless records, performing with Suzanne Vega, Bryan Ferry, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://pattylarkin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;PATTY LARKIN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising lyrics and vocals. Acoustic Guitar Magazine hails her, “soundscape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her, “evocative and sonic shading.” She has been described as, “riveting” (Chicago Tribune), “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly), and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter). Recently an Artist-in-Residence at Berklee College of Music – and now on the faculty at Fine Arts Work Center – Larkin reflects, “I have been energized by the poets, writers, and artists I have met while teaching, and find myself on a journey to break down some of the predictable pathways that songs can travel.” Bird in a Cage, her 14th CD now available, puts poems from ten notable poets to song, including US Poet Laureates William Carlos Williams, Stanley Kunitz, Kay Ryan, Robert Pinsky, and Billy Collins, for a new and haunting collection that pulses with the magic of lyricism. Poems are made to be shared aloud, and with Bird, Patty takes up that tradition and sets it aglow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ll undoubtedly be warm On This Winter’s Night.&lt;/p&gt;

The Collective operates on a two-year, cohort-based model, specifically designed to address the unique challenges faced by underrepresented artists in the folk music scene. Through this model, participants receive performance opportunities, mentorship, and collaborative space, all aimed at helping them cultivate sustainable, creative careers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Collective serves not only the artists themselves but also the wider New England community by broadening the reach of folk music and making it more accessible. Success for the Folk Collective is measured through various metrics, including audience attendance, diversity of participants, engagement levels at events, social media interactions, and feedback from artists and the community. Partners supporting the initiative include institutions like Berklee College of Music, the Cambridge Arts Council, and the Charles River Museum of Industry &amp; Innovation, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMAGINE The Beatles Solo Years.  Tickets On Sale Now.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Beatles walked across Abby Road in 1969 and away from the studio, where they created the most important body of work that any rock band has produced before or since.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, John, Paul, George, and Ringo continued to write and record countless iconic songs, keeping them front and center in the world’s eyes and ears.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMAGINE brings together the solo hits of the individual Beatles as they might have sounded if they continued together and if their legendary producer, George Martin, had crafted these songs along with them.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From the creative team behind the hit show “Piano Men: The Music of Elton and Billy.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Danielle Miraglia comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson and an infectious stomp-box rhythm with tunes ranging from heart-felt to socially conscious that will move both your heart and hips. Her latest “Bright Shining Stars” debuted at #15 on the Billboard Blues Charts. Cascade Blues Association calls it &lt;em&gt;“… tough as rawhide, but smooth as blended whiskey.” &lt;/em&gt;Released Oct 2020 with Vizztone Label Group, it’s a solo acoustic folk/blues record that highlights the one-woman-band live sound she’s honed over the years, featuring guest appearances by talented friends Laurence Scudder, Peter Parcek and Richard “Rosy” Rosenblatt. It includes originals as well as a collection of songs she’s been covering at live shows over the years, paying homage to influences like Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and more, plus the title track “Bright Shining Stars,” written by her husband, Tom Bianchi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Americana and blues practitioner &lt;a href="https://www.daniellem.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Danielle Miraglia&lt;/a&gt; wisely avoids fuss and clutter on her latest album, Bright Shining Stars. Fingerpicking and strumming on acoustic guitar are central to her sound, with percussion frequently provided by the infectious stomp of her foot. Three of the 11 tracks here are solo recordings, reinforcing a truism that the artist frequently has proven on Boston-area stages: A charming voice and fluid guitar prowess are all an artist needs to keep a listener rapt.” – Bobby Reed, Downbeat Magazine&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Straddling the line where folk/roots meets rock/blues, Miraglia has a voice that can go from a raspy come-hither purr to an Etta James-esque powerhouse belt, although she may be best known for her lead thumb — a heavy, thumping strike on her Gibson that’s backdrop percussion in itself.” – Lauren Daley – The Boston Globe&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Danielle Miraglia is like a musical butterfly who’s been granted unlimited creative metamorphoses. Even her musical chrysalis stage was a surprise emergence. Unlike so many Boston artists who attended one of the city’s many music schools, Miraglia went to Emerson College, graduating with a creative writing degree. Though she owned an acoustic guitar she seldom played anywhere but at home, she hadn’t given any thought to making a career as a singer-songwriter until one fateful night at the famous, now-defunct Kendall Cafe. She went to an open mic at the Kendall just to watch and absorb. It didn’t take long for it to register with her: “I thought, ‘That’s what I want to do: Get on stage to do my storytelling that way.’” Voila!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her evolution as a songwriter and performer since then has been remarkable. She quickly won great acclaim and a faithful national and regional following after beginning as a “folk-blues” picker, and it’s a persona she still skillfully embraces in solo shows, but to hear her musical storytelling with such a fine backing band as the satirically named Glory Junkies (Laurence Scudder, viola; Erik White, guitar; Chris Anzalone, drums; and Jim Larkin, bass) is an entirely different dimension. That soul of a creative writer thrives in a vast range of musical styles. Danielle now rocks an electric guitar with equal aplomb, and all with a rocking and soulful energy that pays homage to top influences such as Janis Joplin, Prince and the Stones. No matter how Danielle Miraglia’s stories unfold on stage, they are a joy to hear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She and the Glory Junkies wowed the sellout crowd during their live-stream taping at the Fallout Shelter, playing tunes from the band’s second album, “All My Heroes Are Ghosts ” — now billed under the moniker “Danielle M &amp; the Glory Junkies (sparing DJs the quandary of the pronunciation of her last name). Those stories she dreamt of telling musically on stage are now like butterflies of their own.” – Nate Dow – &lt;a title="https://asheardhere.com/" href="https://asheardhere.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-msys-clicktrack="0" data-airgap-id="15"&gt;https://asheardhere.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Danielle is a dynamic and captivating musician; her rich soulful voice and blues guitar mastery resonate in a performance both rare and unforgettable.”&lt;br /&gt;
– Paul Patchel, State Street Blues Festival – Media, PA&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The genius of Glory Junkies is that Miraglia successfully pokes fun at a proverbial “selfie nation,” while also fully owning that tendency. Glory Junkies offers up deeply narrative lyricism and carefully crafted compositions…Glory Junkies boasts a song about reality TV, and one (the title track) that pokes fun at immortalizing one’s own image. Others stray into more personal territory, hitting close to home on Miraglia’s family dynamic, but the concept of the album remains a mainstay throughout.” – Liz Rowley, BestNewBands.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abbie Gardner &lt;/strong&gt;is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. Whether performing solo or with Americana darlings Red Molly, her tales of love and loss, both gritty and sweet, are propelled by her impeccable slide guitar chops. As an award-winning songwriter, captivating vocalist, and a world-class lap style dobro player, she has an unmistakable sound all her own. This is masterfully captured on her 2022 CD “DobroSinger.” The record made it to #11 on the Billboard Blues Charts and #2 on the Folk DJ Charts, receiving rave reviews in Bluegrass Unlimited, Acoustic Guitar Magazine and American Songwriter. It’s a raw intimate recording full of blues, ballads and the ache of the unknown. It’s quite a contrast to her previous CD, which featured a co-write with Chris Stapleton and leaned on full band production. Abbie stands strong as a solo act and has opened for Lori McKenna and Martina McBride.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Acoustic Guitar Magazine says, “sheer brilliance and power … her evocative guitar is a second voice throughout, sometimes singing in unison, in harmony other times, or answering as in a conversation with the singer. The playing and singing are both impeccable and loaded with personality. You can hear every nuance of the slide, smooth one moment or rattling slightly at the end of a phrase like punctuation; and her intimate, pitch-perfect vocals—wistful, playful, confessional—sound like they’re dancing with the guitar.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her background is as varied as the songs she writes. Her father, Herb Gardner, is a stride pianist and dixieland trombonist. Abbie didn’t get into music school on her original instrument (flute), but graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Occupational Therapy. She gradually found her way back to music in Boston’s folk music scene.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the pandemic, Abbie started teaching free &lt;a title="https://www.abbiegardner.com/woodshed" href="https://www.abbiegardner.com/woodshed" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-msys-clicktrack="0" data-airgap-id="23"&gt;Woodshed dobro lessons&lt;/a&gt; in her backyard and posting them to YouTube. Helping other people fan the flames of their creativity has always been a nice balance to performing. She has taught in person at Nashville Dobro Camp, ResoSummit, Kaufman Kamp, Rockygrass Academy, and Roots Music Camp. Then for Songwriting, she’s taught at New England Songwriters Retreat, Swannanoa Gathering, Summer Songs, and Moab Folk Camp. Students can check out her month-long, small group virtual &lt;a title="https://www.abbiegardner.com/shop" href="https://www.abbiegardner.com/shop" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-msys-clicktrack="0" data-airgap-id="24"&gt;songwriting classes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a title="https://www.abbiegardner.com/shop" href="https://www.abbiegardner.com/shop" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-msys-clicktrack="0" data-airgap-id="25"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;and her downloadable “Dobro from Scratch” course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Not only a first-rate Dobro player but a songwriter to be reckoned with.” –John Platt, WFUV.&lt;/p&gt;

He returns–now a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire– in “&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Asher" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Peter Asher&lt;/a&gt;: A Musical Memoir of the 60s and Beyond” which brings a multimedia experience to the stage, hosted by the two-time Grammy winner for Producer of the Year. Peter Asher moved effortlessly from his role with Peter &amp; Gordon to Music Executive with the Beatles’ Apple Records, then famously- (as in cover of Rolling Stone magazine level famous)- to Producer and Manager, handling the careers of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and a host of others. Books abound, documentaries with half-truths (and worse) are all too common, but, now, finally, Mr. Asher tells first hand his tales from the eye of the cultural hurricane in this intimate evening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Memoir” includes film footage and photos from Peter’s considerable personal archive, brought to life with a storyteller’s gift, transporting audiences back to the heart of 60s popular culture. Icons such as Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Marianne Faithful, Yoko Ono, Carole King, James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt are among the cast of characters in this narrative – along (of course) with the greatly missed Gordon Waller. The evening is filled with the music of Peter &amp; Gordon, including “I Go to Pieces,” “True Love Ways,” and “Lady Godiva.” The songs given to Peter &amp; Gordon by Paul McCartney are also front and center: “Woman,” “I Don’t Want to See You Again,” Nobody I Know,” and “World Without Love,” all of which were US Top 40 hits. Peter presents these timeless classics along with other old favourites from that golden era.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The show brings the audience through the earliest days of Peter’s journey all the way to the present day, and projects including his SiriusXM radio show on the Beatles Channel, “From Me to You” . Peter’s book based on the show, “The Beatles A to Zed” was released by MacMillan on October 29, 2019; the book is already in it’s third printing.&lt;/p&gt;

Early musical inspirations include country, bluegrass-gospel, folk and Memphis blues. Michelle performed bluegrass music in the early 90s at festivals such as Lester Flat Bluegrass Festival and the Country Showdown. Michelle moved to New England in 1998 and landed in Rhode Island in 2009 where she became involved in the Rhode Island Songwriters Association. Michelle played at the Bluebird Café in Nashville at Songwriters open mics on several occasions. Michelle performed at the Providence Folk Festival in 2014 and the Rhode Island Folk Festival in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In July of 2024, Michelle released her solo debut album titled “Hit the Creek” which features 10 original songs written solely by Michelle. The album has been well-received by fans and continues to gain momentum on streaming platforms nationally and recently hit the UK. Her songwriting is rooted both physically and metaphorically by the space and distance between small town Tennessee and coastal New England. Michelle is currently working on her second album. She identifies her musical style as Nashville blues-country/bluegrass/folk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About Barry and the Engine Room:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guitarist &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goudreau" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Barry Goudreau&lt;/a&gt;, formerly of Boston, recently announced the release of his new CD, “The Road,” from his band Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room. Barry’s blues/rock ensemble includes his former RTZ bandmates Brian Maes on lead vocals and keyboards, as well as Tim Archibald on bass. Both Maes and Archibald were members of Peter Wolf’s House Party Five, playing on two of his records and touring the world extensively. The band is rounded out with “Old” Tony DePietro on drums and Mary Beth Maes, Terri O’Soro, and Joanie Cicatelli on background vocals. Expect some favorites like “Smokin” and “Long Time” in their live set, alongside songs from the new CD as well as tracks from “Full Steam Ahead”, the 2017 release from Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Produced by Brian Maes, “The Road” features songs written by Goudreau, Maes, Archibald, and DePietro, with the sole exception of “The Rhythm Won’t Stop”, penned by Brad Delp and Barry Goudreau. Goudreau calls it “Contemporary classic rock”, an apt description of songs like “Love Will Lead The Way”, “Word To The Wise”, and the power ballad “Shade”–songs inspired by the iconic music of the great rock bands of the ’70s and beyond.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Engine Room’s 2017 CD Full Steam Ahead” covers the whole spectrum of blues and rock, from the stripped down blues of “All Mine” to the all out rock assault of “Need”. A longtime friend of Goudreau’s, legendary bluesman James Montgomery, sits in on harp for “Layin’ it Down {In Beantown}.” Barry says, “I wanted to look back to the acts of the late sixties and early seventies when they were reinventing the blues in new and exciting ways”. Maes produced the record in his studio with Goudreau recording the guitar tracks in his home studio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With new music to play, Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room looks forward to a return to the stage!&lt;/p&gt;

They took the opportunity to explore classic songwriting in depth, performing over a thousand songs during the pandemic. That vast overview strengthened and refined their own writing and laid the foundation for this new collection of original, socially-conscious songs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“After such a deep dive into American roots music, we felt like we had a new set of writing tools. We were ready to create this body of work, and there’s just SO much to write about,” says Maura. “During our five-year hiatus from writing and recording, America changed in massive ways, divisive ways that have shaken our whole foundation. That has to be addressed by creative artists, those of us who have a voice to speak for others. Our love of the great things about this country, things that are under threat, is the reason we decided to make “Headwinds” the title track of the CD. Political and social headwinds are making it hard to get back “home’ to our greatness as a nation. We want to push back in a positive way against those winds.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to singing and writing, Pete and Maura are multi-instrumentalists. The thirteen songs are cast in a soundscape that draws from the classic canon of American roots, in keeping with the theme of getting back “home” as a nation. Acoustic and electric guitars, a vintage steel guitar, a gospel-inflected piano/organ mix, and even a slide ukulele all add colors to a songbag of sounds that have drawn us together during hard times. Pete and Maura believe that those sounds still have the power to pull us through again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Kennedys began their writing and touring life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra, developing their own sound as a frequent support act on Nanci’s tours across America, Ireland, Scotland and England. Collaborations with Nanci continued, culminating in Pete and Maura producing her final album, “Intersections.” Along the way, they hosted a nationwide radio program, “The Dharma Cafe” on Sirius/XM, wrote and released sixteen CDs of original music, and have been core artists on folk radio, expanding their audience further with the inception of the AAA and Americana formats.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="font_9 wixui-rich-text__text"&gt;&lt;span class="wixui-rich-text__text"&gt;&lt;span class="color_36 wixui-rich-text__text"&gt;In the mid-70s, after finishing a four-year program at Berklee College of Music, Greg played lead alto for the Ray Charles Orchestra for 2 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="font_9 wixui-rich-text__text"&gt;&lt;span class="wixui-rich-text__text"&gt;&lt;span class="color_36 wixui-rich-text__text"&gt;In 1978, Greg formed his group Channel One, which was a favorite in the New England area, and from there had the opportunity to play tenor sax with the revived Artie Shaw Orchestra under the leadership of Dick Johnson from 1986 to ’87.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="font_9 wixui-rich-text__text"&gt;&lt;span class="wixui-rich-text__text"&gt;&lt;span class="color_36 wixui-rich-text__text"&gt;Following this experience, Greg ventured out as a post-hard bop soloist playing Jazz Festivals, Jazz Societies, and Jazz Clubs throughout the U.S., Canada, and abroad, including most of Europe, the UK, and Moscow and Georgia, Russia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Patty Larkin, John Gorka, Cliff Eberhardt, Lucy Kaplansky. Presenting the Reunion Tour of “On A Winter’s Night” from veteran singer-songwriters who remain among the brightest stars of the singer-songwriter movement for the past three decades. In 1994, Christine Lavin gathered them together, along with folk and Americana artists, to showcase music of the Winter Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD, followed by several years of touring collaborations. These artists have released dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades, with fond memories of their touring days together. The winter season is once again celebrated by these unique and popular performers, reunited by popular demand. Photo: Laurie Glassman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A unique Americana singer-songwriter who blends Texas influences and Cape Cod charm. A bonfire on a beach. A couple of days with the one you love. Simply doing…nothing. The little joys in life. Americana singer-songwriter Monica Rizzio’s new album, Sunshine Is Free, is all about the simple things that make it all worth it. The concept for Sunshine Is Free was born on the road, as Rizzio spent time under open skies while touring. Realizing she needed to step outside of a New England winter to write the follow-up to 2016’s Washashore Cowgirl, Rizzio spent the fall of 2018 traveling from her home in Cape Cod to Nashville for writing sessions. Over a week in April at Skinny Elephant Recording, she and producer Michael Rinne (Caroline Spence, Erin Rae &amp; The Meanwhiles, Kelsey Waldon) as well as a stacked lineup of guest musicians including Mindy Smith, Maya de Vitry, Gwen Sebastian, Joe Pisapia, Will Kimbrough, and Eamon McLoughlin, Rizzio created a collection that focuses on finding joy in simpler things and looking for the silver lining of difficult situations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Winner 2024 Rose Garden Performing Songwriter Competition&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Birthed from the dusty high plains of the bible belt, wordsmith &lt;strong&gt;James Lee Baker &lt;/strong&gt;sources the essence of his craft from a small-town past and a journey of self-discovery as the way out. Laced with mysticism, his emotive and thought-provoking songs speak to the shared, tender heart of our human condition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;​In 2020, he released 100 Summers – a full-length LP of songs centered around a theme of change. The title track reached #1 on the FAI Folk charts that month, garnering nearly half a million streams across platforms. Two of the songs on the project –Returning to Paris and The Last Cowboy in Hutchinson County – were selected as finalists for several nationally-known songwriting contests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2022, he released a cover project called “Impressions”, recorded by Chris Bell (U2, The Eagles) and produced by Roscoe Beck (Eric Johnson, Leonard Cohen), which was released in 2022. The single “Did Galileo Pray?”, a cover of Ellis Paul, charted #10. John Apice from Americana Highways said “Baker’s cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Just Like a Woman’ is one of the finest I ever heard. He captures the lyric, understands it and possesses it as a first-class interpreter.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.charlottemorrismusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Charlotte Morris&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Winner 2025 Rose Garden Performing Songwriter Competition&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Growing up near Philadelphia, Charlotte Morris found her passion for music early, learning multiple instruments and writing songs by age twelve. Influenced by folk classics and female storytellers like Joni Mitchell and Brandi Carlile, she developed a genuine, raw, and emotional style.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After touring with “Lonesome Traveler” in 2018, performing alongside folk legends, Charlotte released her debut EP “To New York, with Love,” followed by the “Sputnik” EP and a national acoustic tour. Her first full-length album, “Songs For My Next Ex” (2020), received critical acclaim, prompting her move to Nashville in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There, she participated in The Johnny Mercer Foundation’s Songwriters Project, mentored by industry greats. In 2022, Charlotte partnered with Charlotte Avenue Entertainment, releasing impactful singles like “Good Kind of Hurt” and “Tennessee.” Her second studio album, “Wild Child” (2023), gained international recognition. After a 30-city international tour in 2024, Charlotte returned to Philadelphia, with new music and tours on the horizon. She holds a degree in Theatre from Northwestern University.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="summary"&gt;Laurie MacAllister, Member of Red Molly returns to Garden!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="structured-content-rich-text"&gt;
&lt;div class="eds-text--left"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In late 2024, &lt;a href="https://www.lauriemacallister.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Laurie MacAllister&lt;/a&gt; embarked on an exciting new chapter, launching a solo career with a sold-out performance at the legendary Club Passim.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two decades earlier, she co-founded the beloved Americana trio Red Molly, which released seven acclaimed albums and toured both the U.S. and internationally, including appearances at MerleFest, Cayamo, and Boston Symphony Hall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Along the way, ad executives heard Laurie’s voice on the Red Molly album “Never Been to Vegas” and invited her to sing the iconic Folgers Coffee jingle for a national TV commercial.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her 2018 self-produced solo album “The Lies the Poets Tell” is a heartfelt tribute to the contemporary folk music scene, celebrating a handful of its best songs and songwriters. It features duets with six male artists, including the late Americana master Jimmy LaFave. SiriusXM praised the album as “Defining. A curated collection packed with emotional vibrancy.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Laurie’s earlier solo album “The Things I Choose To Do” was produced by folk luminary Cliff Eberhardt and was first released independently. Hearing it, Barnes &amp; Noble re-released it as an exclusive on their label, saying, “MacAllister wholly inhabits these songs as subtly as a chameleon, convincingly taking on the persona’s skin, quite simply singing her heart out.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From a young girl with a quiet dream of becoming a singer, Laurie’s journey has unfolded one song at a time. Over more than two decades, she’s made her dream into a reality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Laurie has announced her Solo Debut Tour, headlining shows in 2025 across the Northeast, bringing her soulful, loving voice and presence to fans old and new.&lt;/p&gt;

Growing up in Suffern, NY with a household of artists, including his father, grandfather, and sister, he separated himself by picking up a guitar at the age of 10 and mapping out a life in music before he ever attended a little league game. Since then it’s been a long and well-traveled road in the world of music.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A little bit of time has passed between when &lt;a href="https://www.pousette-dart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Jon Pousette-Dart&lt;/a&gt; as a teenager started forging a path in the musical landscape that started in the 60’s and laid a foundation with the original &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pousette-Dart_Band" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Pousette-Dart Band&lt;/a&gt;. Throughout the 70’s and into the 80’s the band earned a loyal national following and produced 5 releases for Capitol that made a deep imprint in the world of album radio, when we all used to only listen to vinyl. When the band parted ways, Jon continued working and slowly began navigating back to where he started writing and recording in earnest with many of Nashville’s finest, and some twenty odd years ago Jon crossed paths with Jim Chapdelaine one of the more formidable musicians he crossed paths with. Jon continued touring as their musical collaboration continued to brew into a satisfying vital musical landscape of it’s own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Come see Jon Pousette-Dart and Jim Chapdelaine in this intimate acoustic duo setting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="x_elementToProof"&gt;Prepare for an afternoon of world-class storytelling, soulful melodies, and acoustic mastery. A special matinee performance featuring three of Nashville’s most respected musical voices: &lt;b&gt;Lance Cowan, Irene Kelley, and Antsy McClain.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x_elementToProof"&gt;This intimate “In-the-Round” performance offers New England audiences a rare opportunity to hear the stories behind the songs from artists who have shaped the landscape of folk, bluegrass, and Americana.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul data-path-to-node="6"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="x_elementToProof" role="presentation"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Irene Kelley:&lt;/b&gt; A bluegrass legend and prolific songwriter, Kelley’s songs have been recorded by giants like &lt;b&gt;Alan Jackson, Loretta Lynn, and Trisha Yearwood&lt;/b&gt;. Her crystalline vocals and deep Appalachian roots bring a pure, heartfelt authenticity to the stage.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="x_elementToProof" role="presentation"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antsy McClain:&lt;/b&gt; The mastermind behind &lt;i&gt;The Trailer Park Troubadours&lt;/i&gt;, McClain is a master of “humor with a heart.” His performances blend observational comedy, masterful guitar work, and songs that find the extraordinary in everyday life.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="x_elementToProof" role="presentation"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lance Cowan:&lt;/b&gt; A veteran storyteller and songwriter, Cowan’s work is steeped in the rich traditions of the American South. Known for his evocative lyrics and warm, narrative style, he rounds out this trio with grounded, melodic grace.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="summary"&gt;Christine Lavin is a veteran folk artist and fearless musical storyteller.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="structured-content-rich-text"&gt;
&lt;div class="eds-text--left"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://christinelavin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christine Lavin&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;started her professional life as a waitress/bread baker at the Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY in 1975 where she met Dave Van Ronk who encouraged her to study guitar with him in NYC. She took his advice and is now a singer/songwriter/guitarist/recording artist/author/videographer based in New York City. Her latest solo album, her 25th, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ON MY WAY TO HOOTERVILLE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, includes 10 new songs and one re-worked song, “Ramblin’ Waltz,” a re-telling of her time in 1975 when she was an entourage driver for the first week of &lt;strong&gt;Bob Dylan&lt;/strong&gt;‘s iconic &lt;strong&gt;“&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rolling Thunder Revue”&lt;/em&gt; tour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2023 Christine released “The Seasons Project,” an 80-song seasonal compilation that features the work of 63 American, Canadian, British and Irish singer/songwriters. Christine assembled this compilation to help guide future historians and folklorists to authentic music being written in the last two decades of the 20th Century and the first two of the 21st Century.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2024 she is completing her 26th solo album, &lt;em&gt;DRUM SCHOOL DROPOUT,&lt;/em&gt; hoping to have it completed in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In October 2024 there were 11 performances of “InunDATEd,” a 90 minute theatrical production that showcased nine of Christine’s songs by the York Theatre in NYC. There will be one more workshop production before the show is released world-wide. The most recent production starred two thrilling Broadway veterans, Kate Rockwell and Taylor Crousore&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HONORS AND AWARDS&lt;/strong&gt;: In May 2021 Christine received an Honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts from her alma mater, the State University of New York at Brockport. In an odd twist, she has a younger brother also named Chris (born on Columbus Day) who also in May 2021 was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from his alma mater, Hobart/William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY.&lt;/p&gt;

Barry’s blues/rock ensemble includes his former RTZ bandmates Brian Maes on lead vocals and keyboards, as well as Tim Archibald on bass. Both Maes and Archibald were members of Peter Wolf’s House Party Five, playing on two of his records and touring the world extensively. The band is rounded out with “Old” Tony DePietro on drums and Mary Beth Maes, Terri O’Soro and Joanie Cicatelli on background vocals. Expect some favorites like “Smokin” and “Long Time” in their live set, alongside songs from the new CD as well as tracks from “Full Steam Ahead”, the 2017 release from Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The name ‘&lt;a href="http://www.johnnya.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Johnny A.&lt;/a&gt;’ might not be so mainstream, but there’s no doubt that it’s synonymous with guitar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His passion began at the age of thirteen, when he first saw the Beatles in Boston, followed two years later by an in-person witnessing of Jimi Hendrix. From there, he was hooked, getting a cheap beginner guitar to try and play along with his early heroes — which also included Yardbirds icons Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page.&lt;br /&gt;
Soon enough, Johnny A. got it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By the 1970’s, he was forming bands in the New England area, drawing attention from several established musicians, like Derek and the Dominos’ keyboardist Bobby Whitlock and Doug Clifford of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Johnny A. became Music Director of J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf’s outfit, coordinating the onstage arrangements, playing on several tours and co-producing Wolf’s 1996 album, *Long Line.* What’s more, he was even asked to join The Yardbirds as their lead guitarist in 2015.&lt;/p&gt;

She and her sister Lisa were writing songs and playing as a duo titled “The Daughters of Chester P” named after their father, Dr. Chester Paul Bonoff. She had already fallen in love with the guitar and studied with Frank Hamilton of the famous folk group, The Weavers. By 16, Karla and her sister Lisa auditioned for Elektra Records. An 11-song demo [recorded by Doors’ engineer Bruce Botnick] was recorded but no deal came of this first effort.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="text-inner"&gt;Karla’s legacy as a writer and perseverance as a performer are spoken best in a Billboard Magazine review of Karla’s “All My Life” recording. “Long before Alanis and Jewel, there was a breed of singer/songwriters whose earthly anthems of soul-searching, heartache and joy touched souls in a way few can muster today.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The evening’s real star… &lt;a href="https://www.ninagerber.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Nina Gerber&lt;/a&gt; usually says little and lets her guitar do the talking. She is a not-so-underground legend. Her wide-ranging folk-country-jazz-blues stylings have backed dozens of performers on stage and record.”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Get ready to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday with a massive party on the water. We’re taking things outside for an afternoon of music, food, and lake breezes. Our big top along the the Norton Reservoir is the place to be this summer. Join us for an unforgettable outdoor festival that will bring people together, showcasing the best of what we love about summer celebrations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three incredible Bands in One Day!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This outdoor festival is not just about music; it’s a gathering of friends and family enjoying the summer vibes and community spirit. First up, we’re welcoming back a local legend: &lt;a href="https://jamesmontgomerybluesband.com/index.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;James Montgomery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. If you know New England music, you know James. He’s a blues powerhouse who’s played with everyone from Muddy Waters to Aerosmith. His harmonica playing is iconic, and we’re thrilled to have him &lt;a href="https://massartscenter.org/2023_shows/2023-james-montgomery/"&gt;back on the MAC stage&lt;/a&gt;, this time outdoors. As you enjoy the performances, take in the beautiful scenery of the lake, making this outdoor festival a perfect way to celebrate the season.Each band will contribute to the lively atmosphere of this outdoor festival where everyone is welcome to dance and sing along. If you love that classic “Heartland Rock” sound, you’re going to love &lt;a href="https://paperinfire.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paper In Fire&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This six-piece band is a dedicated tribute to John Mellencamp. They nail the grit and soul of hits like “Small Town” and “Jack &amp; Diane.” They were a huge hit last summer and we’re thrilled to have them back. This outdoor festival is a chance to savor delicious food, refreshing drinks, and great company while enjoying the breathtaking views. Rounding out the bill is &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/CrushedVelvetRocks/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Crushed Velvet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a high-energy 70s rock band coming up from Providence. They specialize in the era of big guitars and FM radio classics. They don’t just play the hits; they capture that vintage vibe that makes you want to get up and move and sing-along.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Food, Drinks, and Reservoir Views&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’ll have local food trucks on-site, so come hungry. We’re also have our bar booth right outside the tent. Grab a cold drink, find a spot in the shade of the tent, or enjoy sunny views over the lake. Be sure to invite your friends and family to this outdoor festival, creating memories that you will cherish for years to come.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You Need to Know&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event is happening rain or shine under the big tent. &lt;strong&gt;Make sure to bring your own lawn chairs&lt;/strong&gt; so you have a comfortable spot to kick back and enjoy the show.&lt;/p&gt;

Patty Larkin, John Gorka, Cliff Eberhardt, Lucy Kaplansky. Presenting the Reunion Tour of “On A Winter’s Night” from veteran singer-songwriters who remain among the brightest stars of the singer-songwriter movement for the past three decades. In 1994, Christine Lavin gathered them together, along with folk and Americana artists, to showcase music of the Winter Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD, followed by several years of touring collaborations. These artists have released dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades, with fond memories of their touring days together. The winter season is once again celebrated by these unique and popular performers, reunited by popular demand. Photo: Laurie Glassman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
