A frighteningly good concert on Halloween! This is our treat to you. We are starting the concert just a little later than normal on a weeknight to give you time to "treat" your trick-or-treaters!
You've got to see Daniel live to truly appreciate his talent. He starts playing and everyone's jaw drops.
One reviewer recently wrote – 'Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical' (themusic.com.au)
The story goes that the young Australian singer, songwriter and one-of-a-kind guitar virtuoso first picked up his instrument of choice as a five-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father. He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing solo wherever he could, honing his craft and developing what would become the dynamite live show that he is renowned for today. At 18 he left school, turned professional and hit the road.
The next several years saw him traversing North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, New Zealand and of course, his homeland Australia playing such festivals as California WorldFest, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Vancouver and Mariposa Folk (Canada), Belgium's Labadoux Festival and Australia's Woodford, Falls Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival and the legendary Byron Bay Bluesfest. He has toured and shared stages with Jake Shimabukuro, Jesse Cook, Roderigo Y Gabriela, Richard Shindell, The Ragbirds, The Waifs, Lucinda Williams, Judy Collins, INXS, John Butler, KT Tunstall and Ani DiFranco.
As one reviewer recently wrote, "still in his early twenties, the distances he has been would be more frequently associated with veterans of the Folk scene" (The Dwarf).
Daniel has accomplished all of this while writing, producing and independently releasing two Eps, Gypsy Moon Volumes 1 and 2, his first long player 'Pint of Mystery' (2011) 'My Own Design' (2009), 'Wide Eyed and Open' (2010), 'Real Live' (2012), and 'The Heartland Hurricanes' (2014). His latest full length release Fault Lines (2017) is available now and his new project, Satellite City EP (2018) is comprised of three singles, Satellite City, Indigo, and The Great Divide, all out now.
A review of his two Gypsy Moon releases said the following: 'Champagne has gone a step further this time, it's like he's realized his own potential, his confidence is sky-high and he's truly ready to explore' – Australia's roots music bible Rhythms Magazine
Now regarded as a leading light in acoustic music, with a firm reputation for making festivals buzz, holding crowds in his palm, dropping jaws and breaking guitars wherever he goes. Daniel Champagne has relocated to North America where he continues his exciting career as an international touring and recording artist.
Come see why we bring him back. It's a not-to-miss concert!

You will have the opportunity to add a VIP Meet & Greet to any seat(s) during the process. The Meet & Greet includes an opportunity to meet Anna and the band before the show and includes (1) signed lyric sheet. Fans can bring merch to be signed and will have a private photo opp with Anna and the band.
There's no disputing her talent, charm and grace on stage. Anna is a venue favorite and we love it when she comes to town.
Anna Nalick's fourth studio release, "At Now", is a collection of pop/alternative and folk/Americana tunes that paint an authentic portrait of the songwriter's development to date. Visceral poetry and raw storytelling are supported by emotionally rich melodies and production. The artist's voice has developed along with her writing to reveal the depth of seductive soulfulness and strength through vulnerability that has been budding since she debuted with her multi-platinum selling solo-written album, "Wreck of the Day", featuring first hit single, "Breathe(2AM)", when she was a teenage songstress over 10 years ago. While "At Now" is a departure from previous albums, Nalick's lyrical and physical voice is unmistakably her own on this new material that she is calling, "a concept album, a break-up album of sorts, but only to get to the richest part; new life, new eyes, the choice to love and let love kill you, build you, enlighten you, to throw out the old language and find a new universal one. It's about the romance and sexiness in letting a broken heart bring you home to nature with wide open eyes and the desire to take what's human and make it beautiful again."

Tyrone Wells. Oh, my! The first time we put him on our calendar, you could have knocked us over with feather. We loved Tyrone Wells long before we had a venue. And now we love him in our venue. And each time we get that same feeling we got the first time he came through. Tyrone. Freakin. Wells. In our intimate venue. We are so good with it.
Tyrone offers a VIP package available only on his website. You must have a ticket purchased from this site to join the VIP.
Tyrone Wells still sort of chuckles to himself when he thinks about the fact that making music is his "job." He has been at this "job" for well over a decade, and is just now beginning to shake off the discomfort and stress of the days when he had a real job (TJ Maxx - lead of the ladies department in Spokane, WA). As far as jobs go, Tyrone feels like he has won the lottery (in regards to his present "job"). He loves to create music. He loves to perform. He is a husband, and a father of 3 daughters. He has four sisters, so he feels right at home being completely outnumbered by the ladies in his present household (and also when he was the lead of the ladies dept at TJ Maxx). He believes that Jesus is for real. He's writing this bio. He's referring to himself in the third person. He knows that this bio has a ring of sarcasm, but he is dead serious. He feels extremely grateful. He jokes around, but he has worked very hard at making music his "job." He has spent countless hours writing, recording, playing live, and traveling to play live again. He has spent time away from his beloved family to make this thing a reality. He has never really experienced much radio success, so his fans have been gained the old fashioned way, by pouring his heart out on a stage, and by word of mouth. He feels certain that he will make music until his dying day, as it is not only gratifying for him to create, but also therapeutic and necessary. He can't believe you're still reading this… if you are still reading this, he wants to thank you for taking the time to do so, and for supporting what he does. He knows it would be impossible without you.

"Breathtaking...absolutely
incredible" is how BBC London's Gaby Roslin described a recent live performance
by Callaghan.
Originally from Lincolnshire Callaghan
moved to the USA in summer 2010 to record her debut album with Grammy-Nominee
Shawn Mullins. Since then she's been performing and winning fans all over the
USA.
Back home in the UK the BBC's Bob
Harris has been a strong supporter regularly playing her music and describing
her as "a wonderful artist...hugely talented".
Callaghan plays piano and guitar and offers a stunning
voice which earns frequent comparisons with artists like Sarah McLachlan and
Emmy Lou Harris. Her songwriting
chronicles the stories, experiences and emotions which are part of everyone's
lives.
In 2015 she recorded her second album A History of Now in
Nashville and, returned to Britain to tour. Since then her profile has built
substantially in the UK with three singles playlisted on BBC Radio 2, multiple
headline tour dates and festival appearances at Cornbury, The Secret Garden
Party, Cambridge Folk Festival and more.
Callaghan's also played live sessions for BBC Radio 2's Bob
Harris and Good Morning Sunday, BBC London's Gaby Roslin and BBC Scotland's
Janice Forsyth. In Spring 2018 she finished her biggest UK tour to date,
culminating with a show at London's prestigious Bush Hall, and in July she
joined Paul Simon, James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt at British Summertime in Hyde
Park.
Her latest album, simply called Callaghan, released on
August 31st. It was written and recorded in Los Angeles with producers Anthony
Resta (Elton John, Duran Duran and Blondie) and Starr Parodi and Jeff Eden
Fair, who have made music for some of Hollywood's biggest films including Harry
Potter, Mission Impossible and James Bond.
Highlights include the thought provoking 'End of the World'
which features guest vocals from Louis Price (ex lead singer of The
Temptations), the uplifting love song Better Together written with Jeff Silbar
(who co-wrote Wind Beneath My Wings), and 'All Through The Night' - a beautiful
lullaby which features a 30 piece orchestra.
Maverick Magazine described the record as "a euphoric collection of piano led songs… from a singer-songwriter of a seriously high standard" .
Callaghan is something special. Don't miss this one! Join us for a concert that is nothing short of brilliant!

The rising star continues to rise.
For those who have followed Brendan James from his 2008 major label debut to his current ranking among today's top troubadours, the journey has been a pretty remarkable one.
Born in New Hampshire, schooled in Chapel Hill, signed by Capitol Records by the age of 25, and road-tested with a thousand shows to date, James has certainly lived the life of a troubadour. His songs have landed spots on over 15 major television shows and feature films and he's achieved the #1 Singer Songwriter spot on iTunes, multiple times. He has formed relationships with music legends Carly Simon and Cat Stevens, enjoyed on-stage experiences with the likes of John Legend, John Mayer, and Paula Cole, and recently been asked to give a TedTalk on gun violence, love songs, and simpler societies.
We have had some of our most remarkable moments during a Brendan James concert. We can't explain. You just need to experience this artist for yourself.
Pete Muller joins as Brendan's Special Guest. Join singer-songwriter Pete Muller as he performs songs from his newest album, Dissolve. Muller was recently profiled in American Songwriter for his music video "Let You In," and for the release of the Dissolve album in People Magazine. Produced by Emmy-winning, Grammy-nominated Rob Mathes (Sting, Rod Stewart, Carly Simon), Dissolve captures the emotional insights and perspective forged by Muller's journey, which has taken him from the peaks of the financial world to performance stages all over the world including the Montreux, Telluride, and Umbria Jazz Festivals.

Hailed by The Grand Rapids Press as "top-notch, instrumental wizardry," The Moxie Strings offer listeners the unique opportunity to experience some of the world's bestknown instruments through an electric, innovative lens. Diana Ladio and Alison Lynn hold Bachelor of Music degrees in music performance and music education, which have given each the technical foundation to explore the limits of her instrument and helped the group build a reputation for musical excellence. Alison performs on a newly-invented, electric cello, and Diana on a contemporary 5-string violin. Both use a variety of audio effects pedals. The Moxie Strings compose the majority of their pieces and arrange melodies from many countries, resulting in a genre-blurring blend of ear-catching, mainstream melodies and foot-stomping, rock-influenced rhythms. The band's polished, high-energy show continues to redefine strings' role in contemporary music, and offers audience members a diverse, fun, musical experience. The two often join forces with dynamic percussionists to create an even livelier sound for larger venues.
Soon after forming in 2007, The Moxie Strings were inspired not only to perform, but also to teach. Having made the exploratory journey from classical music to a world of eclecticism and music creativity, the band has now dedicated their careers to helping young musicians make this life-changing and transformative transition. Moxie clinics focus on musical self-discovery and the importance of incorporating socially and culturally relevant genres of music in the music classroom. They have taught clinics in over 200 schools throughout the US, and also present on their research and methodologies to teachers at many music education professional development conferences. During most clinics, The Moxie Strings perform for students on electric instruments, teach music by ear, and introduce non-classical playing styles. The group has researched and created an innovative sequence of activities designed to introduce improvisation to classically trained musicians, which they employ at every clinic. The Moxie Strings deliver their message in a fun, accessible way, and stand before students as the illustration of the many opportunities that music holds.Current Magazine insists that "the future of music could not be in better hands."

"NOT SINCE SPRINGSTEEN AND BONO HAVE I SEEN A LEAD SINGER WITH HIS TALENT AND CHARISMA." - JACK CASEY, GENERAL MANAGER WERS RADIO IN BOSTON
Talk to any Adam Ezra Group fan around the country and they'll tell you that each AEG performance is a one-of-a-kind, community-driven experience, propelled by the spirit of the people in front of the stage. For both fans and band members alike, an AEG concert is a rally to live life with intensity and soak in the moments we share with one another.
Hailing from Boston, AEG's unconventional approach to the music world has allowed them to surge beyond their beloved hometown and emerge as one of the most uniquely powerful, underground live music experiences in the country. While Ezra has played with an array of musicians over the years, his current line-up featuring Corinna Smith on fiddle, Alex Martin on drums, and Poche Ponce on bass has been creating a new buzz around the country in 2019, as evidenced by their mind numbing tour schedule, ballooning tickets sales, and opening features with The Wallflowers, Galactic, John Oates, The Wailers, Southside Johnny, Graham Parker, and America.
Not believing in set lists, every AEG show provides new and unique concert experiences that the band has been recording in real time and sharing with fans on thumbs drives as part of their "Live Sound Project" every night. Go to any Adam Ezra show, solo or with the group, and you will not only find fans who have traveled vast distances to be there, but also doubtless a fair number of rabid followers accumulating as many AEG shows as possible throughout the year.
The fall of 2019 has AEG on more headlining tours supporting their 19th album release and the latest in a series of enhanced, remixed, live albums, aptly named "Better Than Bootleg"(Aug 24, 2019). The musicians who make up Adam Ezra Group are all believers in the power of real-time connection with their audience, explaining their non-stop touring schedule throughout the year. The Bootleg Series is Ezra's attempt at delivering recordings that have the energy and spirit of their live show, while also showcasing studio quality sound.
Recorded at City Winery Boston December 2, BTB III also features "Juna Please, All I Am, and Hold Each Other Now" co-written with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, John Oates, and the standout track, "The Devil Came Up to Boston", a parody of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia."
"An
outfit dedicated to crafting elaborate musical arcs through explorations of
globe-spanning music from Brazil (Bossa Nova, Samba), to Europe (Folkloric,
Modern Jazz), to the US (Indie, Rock n Roll), to the songs within their own
minds."
This trio features the deeply layered sounds of Dan Palmer (Music Professor at Hillsdale and Albion Colleges) on acoustic and electric guitars, as well as the ever-evolving low end of Detroit's own Joe Fee on electric and upright basses.
Travis Aukerman is a drummer, percussionist, composer,
arranger and educator based in Ypsilanti, MI. He has spent the majority of his
life pursuing a passion for drums and music, which has led to a diverse and
fulfilling career as a sideman and bandleader.
He performs regularly with Talking Ear, Estar Cohen, Galen
Bundy's Project 206, Ben Maloney Trio, and Patrick Booth, while also
freelancing with a wide array of artists from around the US including Rachel
Mazer (Los Angeles), Madelyn Grant (Detroit), Waves De Ache (Columbus), Jake
Allen (Northern Michigan), and more. His playing can be heard on Talking Ear's
2019 EP entitled On Creating, Patrick Booth's 2018 album entitled Stillness,
Estar Cohen's most recent single "Only Once" feat. the Red Shoe
Company String Quartet, and the Jake Allen Band's live performance of "Lascivious,"
from Jake's 2018 album entitled Deviant Motions.

We first came to know him through the global smash "World Without Love" as one half of the British Invasion duo Peter & Gordon. He returns--now a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire-- in "Peter Asher: 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 & 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.
"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 & Gordon, including "I Go to Pieces," "True Love Ways," and "Lady Godiva." The songs given to Peter & 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.
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" is being released by MacMillan on October 29, 2019.
Peter remains a sought after producer, and Memoir delves into that part of life as well. The Peter Asher-produced CD by Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, "The Long Awaited Album", was released September 22, 2017; it's one of several production efforts Steve Martin has asked Mr. Asher to oversee. including a 2018 PBS TV special with Martin Short and the Steep Canyon Rangers. .Covered as well is Peter's production of the "Love has Come for You" CD by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell — the title track a Grammy Winner in 2014- and the stage show based on it, "Bright Star," which garnered 5 Tony nominations in its run on Broadway in 2016. A new project celebrating Elton John's songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin saw the light of day in 2018, "Revamped" ; among the highlights was Ed Sheeran's take on Candle in The Wind", produced by Mr. Asher. The celebratory collection was a follow up to the Peter Asher-produced special edition of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" -released in March 2014 – which featured Ed Sheeran, Imelda May, Fall Out Boy, and others covering songs from that classic album.
Peter takes you behind the curtain of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where he inducted two old friends, the Rolling Stones' first manager Andrew Loog Oldham and the Beatles' Manager Brian Epstein. The PBS special "Buddy Holly: Listen to Me -The Ultimate Buddy Party" is still being aired regularly, and its sister CD, "Listen to Me: Buddy Holly" remains a favorite. His work on soundtracks ("Amazing Spider-Man 2," "Man Of Steel," "Rush.", etc), alongside the legendary Hans Zimmer, is touched on also, as well as the 2017 "Hans Zimmer Live!" tour of the USA and Europe that Mr. Asher Directed.
Now, in its tenth year, "Memoir" continues to thrill, as the reviews attest. On a more personal note, friends such as Liza Minelli, Eric Idle, Paul Shaffer, Ray Davies, Bill Wyman, Ken Follett, Edie Brickell, Billy Connolly, Jeff Lynne, Paul Simon, Bob Balaban, Joan Collins, Steve Martin, Ed Sheeran, Tony Shalhoub, Linda Ronstadt, and Michael Feinstein have been among the audiences in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London that have given standing ovations to "Peter Asher: A Musical Memoir of the 60s and Beyond."

He seems too young to be called a legend - yet his history is legendary. Many of the artists that pass through our walls call him a mentor and a hero. We call him an incredible performer, a mesmerizing storyteller and just incredibly talented - what we call STFYEAH!!
Some artists document their lives through their music. Others chronicle their times. It's a rare artist who can do both, telling their own story through songs that also encapsulate the essence of people and places who have helped define their era overall. Woody Guthrie comes to mind, and so does Bob Dylan. Bruce Springsteen certainly as well. Yet few others, for whatever genius they may possess, can relate their own history to the history experienced by those who find that common bond, be it in a coming of age, living through the same realities or sharing similar experiences.
Ellis Paul is one of those gifted singer/songwriters. Though some may refer to him as a folk singer, he is more, for lack of a better word, a singular storyteller, a musician whose words reach out from inside and yet also express the feelings, thoughts and sensibilities that most people can relate to in one way or another, regardless of age or upbringing. The exhilaration of the open road. A celebration of heroes. The hope for redemption. Descriptions of those things that are both near and dear. The sharing of love..., intimate, passionate and enduring.

Willy Porter has been turning first time listeners into die hard fans for more than two decades. Willy blurs the line between indie-folk and rock with his searing signature finger-picking guitar sound, absorbing lyrics, and playful, high-energy live performance style. He has shared world stages with music icons Jeff Beck, Tori Amos, and Paul Simon, carving out a successful solo career as an artist who makes music that resonates long after the last guitar chord fades.
From the release of his breakthrough album, 1994's Dog Eared Dream, to the launch of his own record label, Weasel Records, in 2005, Willy is an artist dedicated to delivering high-test, original musical experiences. His 2015 album, Human Kindness, featured the songs "Train" and "Chippewa Boots," performed live on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion by Willy and his singing/songwriting partner, Carmen Nickerson. The pair teamed up again in 2016 to make Bonfire to Ash, a record of co-writes produced by Grammy award-winner Ben Wisch (Marc Cohn, Jonatha Brooke).
Equally accomplished as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter, his songs weave a universal perspective about the questions, struggles, and triumphs of human existence. His live shows are guitar-driven events--equal parts grit, soul, and muscle--that are electrifying, dynamic, and wholly original in the way that Willy's voice blends and fuses with his dizzying fret work.
Whether in the studio or on stage, Willy Porter gifts listeners with an unforgettable ride, embodying the very best of what live music has to offer.

Come on in, whatever you need
There's no hungry heart that love can't feed.
Leave your worries on the welcome mat,

On a few special dates each year, singer-songwriter May Erlewine breaks from her Americana and folk roots to front The Motivations: a seven-piece dance-party funk band that dishes up boogie jams and classic soul cuts.
The project was born in the winter of 2016, when Erlewine set out to make music and create a positive space for the weary and grieving. That idea eventually took shape in the form of retro-groove dance parties meant to get people moving, make them feel connected, and help them celebrate the moment -- and each other. The result? Shows that deliver feel-good fun and small revolutions to shake things up, just enough.
The Motivations feature Phil Barry on guitar and vocals, Joe Hettinga on synth, keys and vocals, Eric Kuhn on guitar and vocals, Max Lockwood on bass and vocals, Mike Lynch on organ and keys, Terrence Massey on trumpet and vocals, Brandon Proch on saxophone and Michael Shimmin on drums, percussion and vocals.

You've got to see Daniel live to truly appreciate his talent. He starts playing and jaws drop.
One reviewer recently wrote – 'Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical' (themusic.com.au)
The story goes that the young Australian singer, songwriter and one-of-a-kind guitar virtuoso first picked up his instrument of choice as a five-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father. He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing solo wherever he could, honing his craft and developing what would become the dynamite live show that he is renowned for today. At 18 he left school, turned professional and hit the road.
The next several years saw him traversing North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, New Zealand and of course, his homeland Australia playing such festivals as California WorldFest, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Vancouver and Mariposa Folk (Canada), Belgium's Labadoux Festival and Australia's Woodford, Falls Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival and the legendary Byron Bay Bluesfest. He has toured and shared stages with Jake Shimabukuro, Jesse Cook, Roderigo Y Gabriela, Richard Shindell, The Ragbirds, The Waifs, Lucinda Williams, Judy Collins, INXS, John Butler, KT Tunstall and Ani DiFranco.
As one reviewer recently wrote, "still in his early twenties, the distances he has been would be more frequently associated with veterans of the Folk scene" (The Dwarf).
Daniel has accomplished all of this while writing, producing and independently releasing two Eps, Gypsy Moon Volumes 1 and 2, his first long player 'Pint of Mystery' (2011) 'My Own Design' (2009), 'Wide Eyed and Open' (2010), 'Real Live' (2012), and 'The Heartland Hurricanes' (2014).
