SUMMARY:Symphony By The Sea- A Winter Serenade
DESCRIPTION:The string orchestra\, with its incredible range and blended sonority\, has always enticed composers to explore its exciting possibilities and to compose some of their best music. Mozart’s elegant nighttime serenade (Eine kliene Nachtmusik)\, Stravinsky’s anguished pleas against war (Chamber Symphony\, Op.110A) and Tchaikovsky’s energetic\, dance-infused Serenade combine for a memorable afternoon of great music making. *A reception with complimentary refreshments follows this concert.

SUMMARY:Big Head Todd and The Monsters
DESCRIPTION:BIG HEAD TODD AND THE MONSTERS HAVE QUIETLY BECOME AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION FOLLOWING THREE AND A HALF DECADES OF WRITING\, RECORDING\, AND TOURING (TOTALING OVER 3\,500 PERFORMANCES) \nAfter countless sold out shows in amphitheaters and on the high seas\, beaming their tunes to outer space (literally)\, earning the endorsement of everyone from Robert Plant to The Denver Broncos\, and tallying tens of millions of streams\, Big Head Todd and The Monsters cite the friendships formed in the crowd among their proudest accomplishments. Fast forward to 2021 and the Colorado quartet—Todd Park Mohr [vocals\, guitar\, keys\, sax\, harmonica]\, Brian Nevin [drums\, percussion]\, Rob Squires [bass\, vocals]\, and Jeremy Lawton [guitar\, keys\, vocals\, steel guitar]—continue to unite audiences. \n“Friendships have spawned because of our band\,” smiles Todd. “Maybe a bit like the Grateful Dead\, the line between audience and stage has over time become a bit blurred and many lifelong friendships have been made in every direction. I’m very proud of that. Bringing people together and sharing a joy for a couple of hours is an important function of music. Music can cultivate community\, even harmony. We need that!” \nFittingly\, the guys in the band began as friends as well. Todd and Brian first crossed paths in high school jazz band circa 1982. Soon\, the guys started to jam in Brian’s basement also joined by Rob. Sweat-soaked house party gigs and talent shows followed until they became a fixture on the bar circuit “before I was even old enough to drink\,” laughs Todd. As perennial outliers\, the musicians performed original material at these formative gigs\, standing out from a bevy of cover bands in the scene at the time. \nAdopting the moniker Big Head Todd & The Monsters\, they served up their independent debut Another Mayberry in 1989 and Midnight Radio in 1990 to critical acclaim\, setting the stage for their seminal 1993 breakout Sister Sweetly. Powered by staples “Broken Hearted Savior\,” “It’s Alright\,” and “Bittersweet\,” it eventually went platinum\, and they supported Plant on tour. At the time\, Variety hailed Todd as “a soulful singer and nimble lead guitarist\,” while The Los Angeles Times claimed\, “Mohr\, who has a voice like smoke\, writes great songs that incorporates blues\, folk\, rock and country\, which sounds sort of like\, well\, Big Head Todd and the Monsters.” \nThroughout the next decade\, the group presented fan favorites such as Strategem [1994] and Beautiful World [1997]. The latter yielded the cover of “Boom Boom” [feat. John Lee Hooker]\, which famously served as the theme to NCIS: New Orleans. In 2005\, they exceeded our atmosphere altogether. Friends with connections to NASA encouraged Todd to write a song for NASA\, so they ignited 2005’s “Blue Sky.” In 2011\, Big Head Todd and The Monsters played “Blue Sky” live from the middle of Mission Control to awaken the astronauts aboard the shuttle. 2017 saw them release New World Arisin’ to fan adoration and critical acclaim. Glide Magazine claimed\, “such tracks\, like most of this music\, radiate a sense of optimism and purpose ever so welcome in these fragmented times.” \nAlong the way\, the band joined the Denver Broncos on their Super Bowl victory parade\, delivering a triumphant performance to boot. Not to mention\, they’ve headlined their own cruise multiple times and introduced Rockin’ the Reef as a five-night musical extravaganza in Jewel Paradise Cove in Runaway Bay Jamaica for 2022. \nBig Head Todd and The Monsters took the stage at hallowed hometown haunt Red Rocks Amphitheatre a staggering 32 times. In June 2021\, they made a rapturous homecoming to Red Rocks for their first full capacity gig at the venue post-COVID. Chronicling the gig\, 303 Magazine described the group as “a longtime pal that has defined Colorado’s blues-rock scene for multiple decades.” \n“The Red Rocks performances have all been special to me\,” Todd goes on. “Growing up in Colorado\, I always loved going to shows there as a teenager. I’m super proud of that. The COVID year was really unique\, because we played there four times before finally getting back in front of a packed house. It meant a lot to all of us.” \nIn 2019\, the band instituted another fan favorite tradition\, by launching Monsters Music Monthly. They revealed a free song and video on a monthly basis\, including “Hoochie Coochie Man” [feat. Buddy Guy]\, “Rosalita” [feat. John Popper of Blues Traveler]\, “Remedy” [feat. Ronnie Baker Brooks]\, “Sunshine of Your Love” [feat. David Hidalgo]\, and more. Todd and Co. have notably managed to collaborate or perform with a myriad of their heroes over the years\, namely Neil Young\, B.B. King\, Allman Brothers\, John Prine\, Albert Collins\, James Cotton\, John Lee Hooker\, Hubert Sumlin\, and dozens more. \n“For a half-Asian kid growing up in Littleton\, Colorado\, it’s not likely I would’ve ever ended up being as involved in blues music as I have been\,” he observes. “It’s unbelievable we’ve gotten to play and even record with some of my idols.” \nIn the end\, Big Head Todd and The Monsters will never stop bringing crowds together. In fact\, they’ll hit the road yet again for a full-scale US tour in winter 2022 with more on the horizon. \n“If I had any message for our listeners\, it would just be\, ‘Thank you’\,” he leaves off. “We’re so fortunate to have lives making music. We’re grateful to be in the situation we’re in\, and we’re going to continue as long as we can.”

SUMMARY:7th Annual Flamenco Valentine’s Celebration With Juanito Pascual And Friends
DESCRIPTION:FEATURING SPECIAL GUEST JORGE PARDO\nJUANITO PASCUAL – GUITAR\nJOSÉ MORENO – PERCUSSION/VOCALS\nBRAD BARRETT – BASS\nNELI TIRADO – FLAMENCO DANCER \nThe Cabot is proud to welcome Juanito Pascual back for our annual Flamenco Valentine’s celebration\, now in its 7th year! This year Juanito and Friends present an all new show featuring a stellar lineup of both new and familiar faces\, including dancer Neli Tirado\, percussion and vocals by José Moreno\, bassist Brad Barrett\, and a very special guest\, Grammy-winning artist and flamenco legend Jorge Pardo. \nThere could be no better way to celebrate with your Valentine\, or to just warm up on a winter’s night New England\, than with the passion\, excitement\, and beauty of flamenco. This year promises to once again be an unforgettable evening featuring Juanito and Friends alongside one of the most influential flamenco artists in the genre’s modern history. \nLearn more about Juanito Pascual at juanitopascual.com. \nABOUT JORGE PARDO\nGrammy-winning flute/saxophone player Jorge Pardo\, is a truly one of a kind artist and one of the most sought after figures in the Spanish scene. He came to prominence through more than 20 years of collaboration with Paco de Lucia and his legendary Sextet\, and was the first person to incorporate flute and sax into flamenco\, including seminal recordings with the legendary Camaron de la Isla. As such\, Jorge has set the template for instruments in flamenco outside of flamecno’s traditional instrument of guitar\, creating an entirely new dimension of this ancient tradition. He’s worked extensively with Chick Corea\, winning the 2020 Grammy award for Corea’s album “Antidote.” In 2012 he was awarded the “Best European Jazz Musician” award by the Academie Francaise du Jazz\, and his 2023 release “Trance Sketches” (which features Juanito among many others guests) won the “Best Jazz Album” award at MIN in Spain. Jorge collaborates continuously with all of the top figures in flamenco as well as with artists from many genres.

SUMMARY:Judy Collins Trio
DESCRIPTION:In her 50-plus years in music\, Judy Collins has always exhibited impeccable taste in songcraft. On her landmark 1967album\, Wildflowers\, she curated a stunning collection featuring originals alongside songs by not-yet household names such as Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen\, and adventurous selections by Jacques Brel and Francesco Landini. Her discerning palette\, and her literary gifts\, have enabled her to evolve into a poetic\, storyteller songwriter. Now\, in her 6th decade as a singer and songwriter\, Judy is experiencing a profound level of growth and prolific creativity. \nThe cultural treasure’s 55th release\, Spellbound\, out February 25\, 2022\, finds Judy enjoying an artistic renaissance. The 13 song album is a special entry in her oeuvre. It marks the first time ever she wrote all the songs on one of her albums. It features 12 new recently-written modern folk songs\, and a bonus track of her evergreen\, “The Blizzard.” Spellbound is an introspective and impressionistic album. It unfolds as if Judy curated a museum exhibit of her life\, and welcomed us into a retrospective of her most formative moments\, some big and public\, and some intensely personal and intimate. \n“They say after the plague came the Renaissance\,” Judy says with a good-natured laugh\, loosely referencing the pandemic. “The truth is\, I didn’t do an album like this sooner because I had other projects on my mind. This album was necessary for me to keep creative—it was the next piece of the puzzle.” She continues: “Now felt like the perfect time to make this record because\, after all that’s happened in the world\, we need something beautiful and inspirational to lift us up.” \nIn Judy’s eloquently written liner notes\, she dedicates Spellbound to folk masters Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. On the album\, she furthers their traditions of generously sharing their lives\, loves\, and personal reflection. Also\, in her notes\, Judy relates the origins of her songwriting—a story some know\, and a testament to how gloriously unpredictable art and the muse are. Story goes that in 1966 Leonard Cohen made a special trip to Judy’s apartment to play her his song\, “Suzanne\,” and\, while there\, asked her why she wasn’t writing her own songs. Her response was to sit down at her Steinway that very day and write\, “Since You’ve Asked.” Judy has been writing ever since then. \nA lifetime and 54 years of songwriting elegantly come forth from Spellbound. The album revisits the thrilling 1960s Greenwich Village years; recreates breathtaking moments in the wilds of Colorado during Judy’s childhood; snapshots her hellraising years; and frames quiet moments of nature from just a few years back. The title references a formative time in Judy’s life when her pure love of the outdoors lured her close to becoming a park ranger. Lyrically\, the songs are impressionistic and evocatively emotional. “I strove to capture what I see with lyrics\, and bring particular times to life\,” she says of the album’s painterly and personal songwriting. \nWhile she celebrates many passages in life with her lyrics\, her vocals sound untouched by time. Judy’s singing on Spellbound shines pristinely as she eases from warm low-register vocals to soaring high tones\, as if no time has elapsed since her singing mesmerized a generation on Wildflowers. “That’s a combination of good fortune\, extreme luck\, and hard work and discipline\,” she reveals. “I do a lot to protect and take care of my voice\, and I practice every day—you have to or you lose it.” \nThe majestical track\, “So Alive\,” is an exhilarating time capsule of a song that documents the dazzling excitement and possibility of 1960s folk boom in Greenwich Village. “So Alive” establishes the album’s sublimely detailed production aesthetic which features a palette of acoustic guitar\, textured electric guitar\, piano\, keys\, lyrical bass lines\, brushed drums\, and Judy’s angelic vocals. The sweetly nostalgic\, “When I was a Girl in Colorado\,” pines for those pre-fame years when Judy’s life centered around seasonal outdoor joys. \nJudy’s flair for literature\, poetry\, and her commitment to social activism shine forth on the stirring “Thomas Merton.” Merton was an author and a monk who spent most of his adult life in a monastery around Louisville\, Kentucky. He was also a potent force in the anti-war movement\, and there have been theories that his death was a murder. Judy addresses this juicy possibility with engrossing storytelling and poetic phrases. One potent passage reads: He dreamed of being an eagle with wings he would fly/from the west and north and the east/Thru rain and sleet and wind and snow/He’d find a way to bring us peace/Long after he was buried/Upon his death concealed/The evidence of bullet holes finally was revealed. The smoldering ballad\, “Arizona\,” showcases Judy’s achingly beautiful vocal floating over a piano ballad lavished with ethereal ambience and layers of heavenly harmony vocals. \nIn the studio Judy worked with a trusted family of musicians\, including co-producer Alan Silverman and singer-songwriter-guitarist Ari Hest. Ari has worked closely with Judy for years\, and\, in 2016\, Judy and Ari were nominated for a “Best Of Folk Album” Grammy for their duet album\, Silver Skies Blue. In the studio the core group of musicians on the album are multi-instrumentalist Thad DeBrock (Duncan Sheik\, Nelly\, Jonas Brothers)\, bassist Zev Katz (Marc Anthony\, Elton John\, Billy Joel)\, and drummer Doug Yowell (Suzanne Vega\, Joe Jackson\, Duncan Sheik) – additional musicians on album are detailed within the album’s liner notes. \nIn a life and a career brimming with milestone moments\, Spellbound is a high watermark of artistry and personal evolution. Though Judy has been writing for half a century\, her new album ushers in an era of unbridled creativity. “I always knew I was going to be a late bloomer\,” she says\, cracking up with laughter.

SUMMARY:Top Of The World- A Carpenter Tribute
DESCRIPTION:THE WORLD’S PREMIERE TRIBUTE TO THE CARPENTERS \nFronted by singer Debbie Taylor\, her Karen Carpenter vocal resemblance is absolutely astonishing. She is backed by a seven piece band consisting of top-notch\, professional industry musicians who have had amazing careers in their own right. The band members are all multi-instrumentalists and at times use 3 keyboards to recreate the incredibly complex arrangements created by Richard Carpenter. The attention to detail paired with saxophone\, trumpet\, flute and many more instruments complete every song to perfection! \nThis show does not use tracks or pick up musicians like other shows. This is an 8 piece band that travels and performs all shows together. Additionally\, they have a multi-media slideshow which can be seen on their “Live Video” below. \nWho can forget the incomparable music of the Carpenters? The popular brother/sister duo of the 70’s and early 80’s gave us some of the most unforgettable ballads and melodic pop songs of all time. \nThis Carpenters Tribute Band brings the most authentic versions of the Carpenters music to the stage. No doubt\, you will be singing along as they perform hits like; “Close To You”\, “We’ve Only Just Begun”\, “Rainy Days And Mondays”\, “Please Mr. Postman” and “Yesterday Once More”\, to name a few. Debbie captures the warm tones and contralto range that made Karen’s voice so unique. Sit back and enjoy as Debbie and her band take you on a nostalgic journey through the Carpenters greatest hits while sharing some of the backstories behind the music.
