Reverend Jefferson was formed as a tribute in sound and spirit to the music of the legendary Jefferson Airplane. This mission soon became a point of departure upon a musical journey of exploration into terrains both familiar and wholly unknown. Jefferson Airplane's music originated from San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury hippie community of the late 1960's, but soon evolved into a sound which at once reflected that era's psychedelic ethos while virtually capturing the rapidly expanding revolutionary fervor of the times. Their 1967 album Surrealistic Pillow saw the arrival of Grace Slick- a beautifully irreverent (and often caustic) singer whose siren-song banshee wail propelled “Somebody To Love” and “White Rabbit” up the charts. Her beautifully soaring harmonies, blending flawlessly with the voices of bandmates Paul Kantner & Marty Balin, became the foundation of the Airplane's sound- which soon wound its way deep into the consciousness of the American psyche where it's remained for generations. At the urging of manager David Kramer, Reverend Jefferson was formed by longtime rabid Airplane fans who've conspired to create a labor of love. Vocalist Joanne Lediger has the power and skill to capture the intensity and nuance of Grace Slick's singing at the height of her powers. Ms. Lediger is able to bring Grace's ice & fire to life like no one else. Guitarist/vocalist David Frye has sung with Ms. Lediger for many years. They know each other's moves and are able to weave their voices...
This event will have a reserved seated Orchestra, Loge, and Balcony. Standing room is in the rear of the orchestra behind the last row of seats. 18 & Over unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. There are different masks we all wear that represent different sides of ourselves. None are solely us on their own and yet they all are. There’s the lonely girl – the blissful girl – the new wife – the daughter missing her mother – the hopeful girl – the selfish girl – the sarcastic, hair-sprayed, rhinestoned Texan – the shy girl, the life of the party – the winner and the loser… They are all characters on this record. None of them alone are me, and yet they all are. The golden hour is when all the masks come together as one and you can see, in perfect light, the whole picture of me. In early 2016, when Kacey Musgraves finally set some time aside to start writing again, she was in a confused place. When she broke through in 2013 with Same Trailer, Different Park she was instantly recognized as one of music’s most original new voices in years; she was named “New Artist of the Year” by the Country Music Association and awarded both Best Country Song and Best Country Album at the Grammys, as well as an Academy of Country Music trophy for Best Album. Her 2015 follow-up, Pageant Material, also reached Number One on the charts, and received another batch of accolades and award nominations.

There are different masks we all wear that represent different sides of ourselves. None are solely us on their own and yet they all are.

Tyrone Cotton’s earliest musical revelation was listening to the raspy, inspirational voice of his grandfather, the Reverend Cleveland Roosevelt Williams, at his childhood home in Louisville, KY. At a young age, Cotton began playing guitar along to the sounds of popular rock and blues artists. Overtime, he was influenced by Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, and Mississippi John Hurt, who intrigued Tyrone with his “ finger pickin’ and soft, wispy voice.” Inspired by this wide variety of artists, Cotton developed a style of writing that blended soul, folk, blues, jazz, and rock n roll. He has become a staple in the Louisville music scene over the past 30 years, being well recognized for his stirring voice and lyrics. Cotton has toured throughout the United States and Japan, with plans to continue performing in the US this year. He is currently working on a new album with producer Josh Kaufman. Kaufman is best known for his work with The National, Bob Weir, and Josh Ritter.

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead is Scott Metzger, Tommy Hamilton, Dave Dreiwitz, Marco Benevento & Joe Russo. "Not only does this quintet play tight and vicious versions of some of the most complex songs in the Grateful Dead's repertoire, but they play them with a rawness & energy absent from the stage since the "Live" Dead era. More importantly, all of the jams are wild and incredibly adventurous. Russo's a beast behind the kit who's in the peak of his career. Metzger is a criminally underrated guitarist who has a chameleon-like ability to alter his sound to compliment any situation. Dreiwitz's intensity is unmatched by anyone, while Benevento spouts these crazy tones and layers of sound that mix the best of what each keyboardist in GD history brought to the band. Finally, add Hamilton, whose voice and biting leads help push this ensemble over the top." - Scott Bernstein, Jambase 9.12.13

Red Baraat is a pioneering band from Brooklyn, New York. Conceived by dhol player Sunny Jain, the group has drawn worldwide praise for its singular sound, a merging of hard driving North Indian bhangra with elements of hip-hop, jazz and raw punk energy. Created with no less a purposeful agenda than manifesting joy and unity in all people, Red Baraat’s spirit is worn brightly on its sweaty and hard-worked sleeve. Their infectious rhythms roll over the audience like a hurricane and let the audience breathe only in a short ballad pause, to change a torn guitar string... Fred Balz, Allgemeine Zeitung, Rhein Main Presse (Germany) Red Baraat’s June 2018 album release, “Sound The People”, hit the top 10 on the World Music Charts Europe and was heralded in the US as the anthem soundtrack for the South Asian diaspora by US hipster, indie-rock magazine, Stereogum: The album is full of moments that hit with the force of a spiritual awakening… The funk, ska-punk, and other American forms that make their way into the music are layered intricately within the same threadwork as the ragas on which these songs are pulled from. Each piece is a gesture of cultural harmony, rendering not only genre irrelevant, but the geographic placement of those sounds. 2018 also saw the band touring Kazakhstan, Abu Dabhi, US, Canada and Europe. They headlined the renowned WOMAD Festival in Cáceres, Spain in front of 10,000 people, performed the Vienna Konzerthaus (Philharmonie) in Austria and had the crowd...

A multi-ethnic Latin pop sensation, Gina Chavez is a nine-time Austin Music Award winner — including 2015 Musician of the Year and Album of the Year for her sophomore release, Up.Rooted, a passionate collection of bilingual songs traversing cumbia, bossa nova, vintage pop, reggaeton, and folk. With dynamic vocals and sharp social commentary, Chavez’s songs take audiences on a journey through the Americas, expertly blending sounds with tension and grace. “Most striking is Chavez’s ease as she moves between social and love songs, between North American and Latin genres, and even between languages: When she passes mid-song from English to Spanish and back, it’s the most natural thing in the world.“ The Boston Globe “Gina Chavez’s voice stops you in your tracks the first time you hear it.” — NPR PepsiCo Theatre Single Tickets: $45 / $35 / $25 https://www.artscenter.org/events/gina-chavez/
Carmina Burana by Carl Orff is unquestionably one of the most well-known (and often hummed!) pieces of the 20th century. Its effect on audiences was not lost on Orff; after its premiere he jubilantly, if not modestly, wrote the following to his publisher: “Everything I have written up to now, and which you unfortunately printed, you can shred into pulp. My collective works begin with ‘Carmina Burana’. The Hudson Valley Singers and conductor, Eugene Sirotkine, will perform the version arranged by Orff’s disciple Wilhelm Killmayer in 1956, and authorized by Orff himself, to afford smaller ensembles the opportunity to perform the piece. This will be performed by New York Metamorphoses Ensemble with two pianos and six percussions. The Singers will be joined by accomplished soloists: Chelsea Bonagura, Soprano; David Guzman, Tenor; and Robert Garner, Baritone. “O Fortuna”, one of ‘Carmina Burana’s’ most exciting pieces, was first introduced to the mainstream media in 1981 in the John Boorman film, Excalibur. The song has since been used in numerous films including Glory(1989); The Hunt for Red October (1990); The Doors (1991); Natural Born Killers (1994); The General’s Daughter (1999); Detroit Rock City (1999); Jackass: The Movie (2002); Cheaper by the Dozen (2003); and even G-Force (2009).
