SUMMARY:Railroad Earth
DESCRIPTION:For over two decades\, Railroad Earth has captivated audiences with gleefully unpredictable live shows and eloquent and elevated studio output. \nThe group introduced its signature sound on 2001’s The Black Bear Sessions. Between selling out hallowed venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison\, CO\, they’ve launched the longstanding annual Hangtown Music Festival in Placerville\, CA and Hillberry: The Harvest Moon Festival in Ozark\, AR—both running for a decade-plus. Sought after by legends\, the John Denver Estate tapped them to put lyrics penned by the late John Denver to music on the 2019 vinyl EP\, Railroad Earth: The John Denver Letters. Beyond tallying tens of millions of streams\, the collective have earned widespread critical acclaim from David Fricke of Rolling Stone\, American Songwriter\, Glide Magazine\, and NPR who assured\, “Well-versed in rambling around\, as you might expect from a band named after a Jack Kerouac poem\, the New Jersey-built jam-grass engine Railroad Earth has let no moss grow under its rustic wheels.”

SUMMARY:Better Than Ezra
DESCRIPTION:The best songs\, records\, and bands transport you back to the first moment you heard them each and every time they play. Whether you caught a house party gig after Better Than Ezra formed in 1988 at Louisiana State University\, heard “Good” on the radio once it hit #1 in 1995\, became a fan following Taylor Swift’s famous cover of “Breathless” in 2010\, or saw them headlining sheds in 2018\, you most likely never forgot that initial introduction to the New Orleans quartet founded by Kevin Griffin [lead vocals\, guitar\, piano] and Tom Drummond [bass\, backing vocals]. Those hummable melodies\, unshakable guitar riffs\, and confessional lyrics quietly cemented the group as an enduring force in rock music. How many acts can boast being the inspiration of a classic Saturday Night Live skit? Very few. Named one of the top “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” by Billboard\, Better Than Ezra released their last single “Grateful” in 2018 and are currently in the studio working on new music.

SUMMARY:NATALIE MACMASTER & DONNELL LEAHY
DESCRIPTION:HEARING NATALIE MACMASTER AND DONNELL LEAHY SPEAK REVERENTIALLY ABOUT THE FIDDLE\, WHICH HAS PROPELLED THEIR DAZZLING CAREERS SINCE CHILDHOOD WHILE CEMENTING THEIR STATUS AS CANADA’S REIGNING COUPLE OF CELTIC MUSIC\, IS ALMOST AS ELECTRIFYING AS HEARING THEM PLAY IT. \nThe Natalie MacMaster & Donnelly Leahy show has been rescheduled to November 4\, 2023. All tickets honored on the new date. \nIndeed\, when MacMaster and Leahy married in 2002 — both were already stars in their own right — they could not have predicted their merger would recast what contemporary musical success looks like. Or that they would produce a large family and ensure their mantelpiece was jammed with JUNO and East Coast Music Awards while creating an inventory of achievements spanning the globe. \nThey certainly couldn’t have imagined capping off what they jokingly refer to as their combined 83 years as performers with milestones including another hotly anticipated Christmas tour\, an accompanying TV special\, a pending third instalment of their Greenbridge Celtic Folk Fest\, a recent Road Gold Award from the Canadian Independent Music Association\, and last but certainly not least\, the arrival of Maria\, newest sib to Mary Frances\, Michael\, Clare\, Julia\, Alec and Sadie. \n“I’m continually amazed by what the fiddle has brought to my life\,” MacMaster offers. “It has carried me through my childhood\, through my teens\, my young adult life\, my married life and now motherhood. And I still love it as much as ever. Same with Donnell. It’s unexpected and awesome.” \nThough MacMaster and Leahy followed different trajectories to this point — she a Cape Breton native who could step-dance before she could walk\, he the oldest brother of acclaimed family group Leahy — both have confidently crested the traditional music peak. \nTheir synergy was brilliantly showcased on the pair’s first recorded collaboration\, 2015’s Bob Ezrinproduced album One\, a crowning achievement complementing combined album sales of over one million\, a CV listing cellist Yo-Yo Ma\, bluegrass star Alison Krauss\, and banjo ace Béla Fleck as past collaborators (and Shania Twain and The Chieftains as fans) plus a devoted audience stretching from Sydney\, Nova Scotia to Sydney\, Australia. \n“The fiddle was definitely common ground for us when we first got together\,” MacMaster\, a Member of Order of Canada since 2006\, recalls with a chuckle. “But I was so in awe of Donnell’s family\, of 11 siblings who could play and had a family band. And here I am now doing almost exactly the same thing. Well\, kind of.” \nMacMaster is referring to her and Leahy’s seven gifted children\, five of whom are often the showpiece of the MacMasterLeahy live set though not because the couple necessarily envision showbiz careers for the kids\, who recently performed (actually knocked ‘em dead) on German TV variety show\, Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel. \nRather\, the pair realized early on that being on the road without their kids was infinitely harder than touring with them. That the children were already being home-schooled (MacMaster has a teaching degree) made enacting that decision easier. \n“Initially we were reluctant to let the kids perform. We worried the expectations might be too much\,” Leahy says. “But then one night we put Mary Frances on stage. Soon after that Michael wanted to play. \nAnd you must reward practice.” \nWhen vintage comedian W.C. Fields famously quipped\, “Never work with animals or children\,” he clearly hadn’t seen the MacMasterLeahy clan fiddling\, step-dancing\, and positively delighting audiences\, something the family’s Christmas TV special\, titled A Celtic Family Christmas (after their 2016 album of the same name) highlights. \nAs Leahy explains\, the family was initially pondering participation in a 13-episode docuseries. “Although we are public people\, we are also very private and we were unsure about having cameras in our home and following us around. So the Christmas special is a kind of test run.” \nIn it\, a spirited performance anchors a wider narrative chronicling the family at home\, in their community\, and “doing what we normally do around Christmastime.” Meanwhile\, the forthcoming 24date Celtic Family Christmas Tour — which contains a soon-to-be-revealed theatrical element that will thrillingly traverse time and continents while contextualizing the music and its players — touches down at marquee venues across Canada\, confirming the duo as powerhouses on the seasonal circuit. \nThe TV special is also a fitting bookend to The Leahys: Music Most of All\, a short by filmmaker Peter \nWeyman\, whose vivid depiction of the touring musical sibs won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Student Film in 1985. It will be broadcast during the 2019 Christmas season on the BYU network throughout the country so consult your local listings!! \nIt’s easy to understand why Weyman — and later MacMaster — was so enchanted with the Leahys. Their rich familial history is the stuff of lore. Except it’s absolutely true. \n“My father’s people came to Canada in 1825 from County Cork\, Ireland where they were farmers before settling in a little town called Douro\,” Leahy explains. “My father was a beef farmer\, we grew up on a beef farm and it’s in our blood. Myself and two of my brothers continue to run and grow the farm.” \nMacMaster and Leahy point to the 120-acres of ancestral lands in Lakefield\, Ontario\, as yet another key \ncomponent of their children’s education and development. “Teaching can take many forms\,” MacMaster notes. \nOf course\, the globe-trotting Leahys aren’t exactly like every other cattle farmer out there. “We put our bulls out with the cows based on our tour schedules so we can have people home for calving!” Leahy howls. “Running the farm is a great counterpoint to life on the road. Plus\, we believe in work and the farm is a wonderful place for the kids to learn through their chores.” \nBut there’s always room for more music. Ergo\, the couple’s launch in 2017 of the successful Greenbridge Celtic Folk Fest\, which\, for an August weekend each year\, transforms the bucolic agricultural hub of Keene\, Ontario into a foot-stomping\, fist-pumping\, string-shredding Celtic ceilidh. \n“We’ve been talking about the kinds of shows we can do since we got married 16 years ago. We finally decided to start something in our backyard\,” says MacMaster\, who with Leahy both headlines and curates the Fest. “Plus\, we wanted to bring this multigenerational\, big-picture celebration of this music to an environment that would really appreciate it. The reception so far has surpassed all our expectations.” \nMacMaster continues: “I started playing the fiddle when I was nine\, and I never intended to make a career out of it\, mostly because I didn’t think it was possible. Even the most adored fiddlers in Cape Breton had day jobs. And yet here I am. \n“This whole thing — first playing music by myself\, then playing music with Donnell\, then touring with Donnell and the children and all of us playing music together — has evolved in a very natural way. We feel incredibly lucky to be together as a family and to be letting our children develop their musical talent.” \nAdds Leahy\, “The only downside is that we can’t do all we’re asked to do and might like to do in other circumstances because we are parents first. You think about touring Australia and Ireland and The Netherlands\, where we’ve been invited to play. But then you remember the kids’ math homework has to get done!” \nAll because of fiddles. Unexpected and awesome indeed. \nNatalie returned to the studio in 2019 to record her first solo LP in almost a decade\, “Sketches” which is released worldwide on November 1\, 2019. The record is co-produced by Donnell and features the performances of Tim Edey. Natalie’s describes the artistic direction of the project “I have something to say through my fiddle. It’ll be a moment of joyous appreciation inspired by years of parenting\, marriage\, life\, friendships\, and music. It is a moment during my 47th year of life\, my 37th year of fiddling\, my 16th year of marriage\, my 13th year of parenting. I have chosen one of my very favourite musicians to join me\, Tim Edey\, an absolute Jen of a player and person.” \nEVENT DETAILS \nDate\nNovember 4\, 2023\nDoor Times\n7:30pm

SUMMARY:Al Di Meola
DESCRIPTION:THE ELECTRIC YEARS \nLIMITED NUMBER OF VIP PACKAGES AVAILABLE DURING CHECKOUT. VIP PACKAGE INCLUDES MEET & GREET DURING SOUNDCHECK \nw/ FULL BAND:\nGumbi Ortiz – percussion\nLuis Alicea – drums\nElias Tona – bass\nCarmelo Medina – second guitar\nAl Di Meola\, a bonafide living Guitar Legend inducted into the Gallery of Greats is among the top guitarists of our time. His ongoing fascination with complex rhythmic syncopation combined with provocative lyrical melodies and sophisticated harmony has been at the heart of his music throughout a celebrated career that has spanned four decades and earned him critical accolades\, four gold albums\, two platinum albums\, more than six million in record sales worldwide\, five German gold albums\, and various awards including an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Berklee College of Music\, the Honorary Miles Davis Award presented by the Montreal Jazz Festival\, a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Sir George Martin in 2008\, Hungarian Foundation for Performing Arts Lyra Award\, and numerous Grammy nominations and awards. Al is the recipient of the most prestigious guitar awards ever given\, a total of 12 awards from Guitar Player Magazine polls and as a result\, was inducted into their Gallery of Greats. \nNot only a guitar hero\, but a prolific composer\, he has amassed over 30 albums as a leader while collaborating on a dozen or so others with the likes of the fusion supergroup Return to Forever(with Chick Corea\, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White)\, the celebrated acoustic Guitar Trio featuring fellow virtuosos John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia\, and the Rite of Strings trio with bassist Clarke and violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. And while his dazzling technique on both acoustic and electric guitars has afforded him regal status among the hordes of fretboard fanatics who regularly flock to his concerts\, the depth of Di Meola’s writing along with the soulfulness and the inherent lyricism of his guitaristic expression have won him legions of fans worldwide beyond the guitar aficionado set. \nA pioneer of blending world music and jazz\, going back to early Latin-tinged fusion outings like 1976’s Land of the Midnight Sun\, 1977’s Elegant Gypsy and 1978’s Casino\, the guitar great continues to explore the rich influence of flamenco\, tango\, Middle Eastern\, Brazilian and African music with his World Sinfonia\, an ambitious pan-global group that he formed in 1991. Their exhilarating world music fusion has been documented on such releases as 2000’s The Grande Passion (featuring the Toronto Symphony Orchestra)\, 2007’s Live in London\, 2011’s Pursuit of Radical Rhapsody and the stunning 2012 DVD\, Morocco Fantasia (recorded at the Mawazine Festival in Rabat\, Morocco and featuring special guests Said Chraibi on oud\, Abdellah Meri on violin and Tari Ben Ali on percussion). \nGrowing up in Bergenfield\, NJ with the music of The Ventures and The Beatles\, Di Meola naturally gravitated to guitar as a youngster and by his early teens was already an accomplished player. Attaining such impressive skills at such a young age didn’t come easy for Al\, but rather was the result of focused dedication and intensive periods of woodshedding between his junior and senior years in high school. “I used to practice the guitar all night after school and once in college\, 6 – 8 hours per day” he told Down Beat. “And I was trying to find myself\, or find the kind of music that suited where I was going with the guitar.” \nHis earliest role models in jazz included guitarists Tal Farlow and Kenny Burrell. But when he discovered Larry Coryell\, whom Al would later dub “The Godfather of Fusion\,” he was taken with \nthe guitarist’s unprecedented blending of jazz\, blues and rock into one seamless vocabulary on the instrument. “I used to ride the bus from New Jersey to see him at little clubs in Greenwich Village\,” he recalls. “Wherever he was playing\, I’d be there.” In 1972\, Al enrolled at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and by the second semester there began playing in a fusion quartet led by keyboardist Barry Miles. When a gig tape of that band was later passed on to Chick Corea by a friend of Al’s in 1974\, the 19-year-old guitarist was tapped to join Corea’s fusion supergroup Return to Forever. After three landmark recordings with Return to Forever — 1974’s Where Have I Known You Before\, 1975’s Grammy Award winning No Mystery and 1976’s Romantic Warrior — the group disbanded and Al subsequently started up his career as a solo artist. His 1976 debut as a leader\, Land of the Midnight Sun\, was a blazing showcase of his signature chops and Latintinged compositions that featured a stellar cast including drummers Steve Gadd and Lenny White\, bassist Anthony Jackson and Jaco Pastorius\, keyboardists Jan Hammer\, Barry Miles and Chick Corea and percussionist Mingo Lewis. Over the course of six more albums with Columbia Records – Elegant Gypsy\, Casino\, Splendido Hotel\, Electric Rendezvous\, Tour De Force and Scenario – Al established himself as an influential force in contemporary music. 1980 marked the triumph of the acoustic guitar trio with Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin. Their debut recording on Columbia Records\, Friday Night in San Francisco\, became a landmark recording that surpassed the four million mark in sales. The three virtuosos in the trio toured together from 1980 through 1983\, releasing the studio album Passion\, Grace & Fire in 1982. In 1995\, they reunited for a third recording\, Guitar Trio\, followed by another triumphant world tour. \nIn early 1996\, Di Meola formed a new trio with the violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and RTF bandmate Stanley Clarke called The Rite of Strings. Their self-titled debut was released in 1995. Di Meola subsequently recorded with the likes of opera superstar Luciano Pavarotti\, pop stars Paul Simon\, classical guitarist Manuel Barrueco\, and Italian pop star Pino Daniele. Over the course of his career\, he has also worked and recorded with Phil Collins\, Carlos Santana\, Steve Winwood\, Wayne Shorter\, Tony Williams\, Herbie Hancock\, Gonzalo Rubalcaba\, Milton Naciemento\, Egberto Gismonti\, Stevie Wonder\, Les Paul\, Jimmy Page\, Steve Vai\, Frank Zappa and Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba. \nDi Meola’s 2013 release “All Your Life” recorded at Abbey Road Studios was an acoustic tour de force that had him revisiting the music of a seminal influence – The Beatles. “I really credit the Beatles for the reason why I play guitar\,” he says. “That was a major catalyst for me to want to learn music\, so their impact was pretty strong.” A virtual one-man show of virtuosity\, it features the guitar great interpreting 14familiar Beatles tunes in the stripped-down setting of strictly acoustic guitar. \nIn 2015 he released Elysium\, which finds the guitar great blending the lush tones of his nylon string Conde Hermanos acoustic prototype model and a ’71 Les Paul electric (his Return to Forever and Elegant Gypsy axe) in a collection of songs that are at once invigorating and alluring. “It represents a new composition phase for me\, whereby the writing became\, in a sense\, my therapy during a challenging personal transition in my life\,” he said. In the same year he was honored as the 22nd recipient of the Montreal Jazz Festival’s Miles Davis Award\, created in 1994 to honor a great international jazz musician for the entire body of his or her work and for that musician’s influence in regenerating the jazz idiom. \n2018 marked a new era for Al Di Meola: His first of six signed projects with German record label Ear Music\, “OPUS” was released in March. The Grammy award winning virtuoso says: “With \nOpus I wanted to further my compositional skills as I think that the evolution of this part of my persona has labelled me more composer/guitarist than guitarist/composer. For the first time in my life\, I have written music being happy\, I’m in a wonderful relationship with my wife\, I have a baby girl and a beautiful family that inspires me every day. I believe it shows in the music.” \nA retrospective of Al Di Meola’s nearly 50 year acclaimed career is expressed through his latest Ear Music release of March 2020 “ACROSS THE UNIVERSE” with his virtuosic arrangements and creative interpretations of 14 Beatles songs with a larger scale full production featuring orchestrations balanced with lavish acoustic arrangements and electric guitar. \nCurrent work includes an autobiography and a new solo guitar record of 13 brand new compositions. Al is also very proud to announce the upcoming April 2022 release of “Saturday Night in San Francisco” from the 1980 tour of the Guitar Trio with John McLaughlin and the late Paco de Lucia.

SUMMARY:The FIXX
DESCRIPTION:WITH KASIM SULTON ON SUPPORT \nThe FIXX has been often heralded as one of the most innovative bands to come out of the MTV era. \nInstantly recognizable\, The FIXX sound is unmistakably unique and stands out among the thousands of artists filling the airwaves. Songs such as “One Thing Leads To Another”\, “Red Skies” and “Saved By Zero” remain everyday staples in television\, films and on radio stations that continue to break new acts inspired by the era that The FIXX helped to define. The FIXX were then\, and still are now; Cy Curnin on vocals\, Rupert Greenall on keyboards\, Jamie West-Oram on guitar\, Adam Woods on drums\, and bassist Dan K. Brown. \nABOUT KASIM SULTON \nKasim is at the top of the call sheet whenever established rock artists need an anchor who can both hold down the low end and harmonize alongside the best vocalists in the business\, whether it be on the live stage or in the recording studio. (Sulton is also a top- shelf bandleader and songwriter in his own right\, having graced the Top 40 a few times himself.) Indeed\, Sulton has played with a veritable who’s who of rock royalty who continue to be broadcast all across this country’s programming dial day in and day out. In addition to having been Todd Rundgren’s go-to righthand bass player in Utopia and his various solo projects for over 45 years and counting\, Sulton has been a valued band member for artists like Meat Loaf (for whom he also served as music director for 10 years)\, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts\, Hall & Oates\, Cheap Trick\, Patty Smyth\, former Eagles guitarist Don Felder\, Cyndi Lauper and Blue Öyster Cult\, to name but a few.
