Tom Rush
|
CONCERT SERIES SPONSOR
|
Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer, whose shows offer a musical celebration…a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. His distinctive guitar style, wry humour and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues.
Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influences.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences. Rush has long championed emerging artists. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor, and in more recent years his Club 47® concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own reputations.
Today, Tom Rush lives in Massachusetts when he’s not touring. His voice has grown even richer and more melodic, and his music, like a fine wine, has matured and ripened in the blending of traditional and modern influences. He’s written a number of new songs. He’s doing what he loves, and what audiences love him for: writing and playing …passionately, tenderly…knitting together the musical traditions and talents of our times

"Since Jimmy Buffett’s passing last September, we have done our best to "keep the party going", as he would have wanted it. With his spirit always close to our hearts, some shows are harder than others, but we continue to honor his legacy with passion, sincerity, and certainly his sense of fun.
Sail on, Bubba, and Fins Up."
Changes In Latitudes is the country's premier tribute show to the Mayor of Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett. This nationally acclaimed band roams the country bringing their dancing conga lines and "Trop Rock" fun to every venue they play. It's the ultimate beach party that’s good clean fun for all ages. Over their 20-plus year history, the band has traveled from Maine to Barbados, and Cape Cod to Arizona. From the 900-seat Walt Disney Theaters aboard the Disney "Magic" and "Wonder" cruise ships, to the National Hamburger Festival in Akron, OH, in front of 6500 fans looking for their "Cheeseburger In Paradise," they've set attendance records across the country. Members of Jimmy Buffett's "Coral Reefer Band" have both performed live and recorded with Changes In Latitudes. The band has thrilled audiences with their amazingly authentic reproduction of the Jimmy Buffett concert experience. Steve Kareta mimics Jimmy's casual storyteller style, while these world-class musicians take you on a musical cruise around the sun-drenched tropical islands of the Caribbean. The group travels with a complete tropical stage setup that exactly mimics Jimmy's from years past. You can expect to hear such classics as “Margaritaville,” “Come Monday,” "Cheeseburger In Paradise," "Volcano," and, of course, “Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes,” as well as other crowd pleasing Buffett-show staples like “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Southern Cross,” and the Alan Jackson / Jimmy Buffett hit "It's Five O'clock Somewhere."

"A Band Of Brothers" isn't just an Allman Brothers tribute band; they're a powerhouse, uniting the top-tier talent of the East Coast. The brainchild of ace Boston guitarists Ryan Taylor and Johnny Trama, this collective, more than a mere homage, harness the Allman Brothers tradition as a vehicle to bring a unique and exciting experience every night.
Matt Zeiner began his professional music career touring with Matt "Guitar" Murphy, who exposed him to a fusion of blues and jazz. His career took a significant turn in 2000 when Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band recruited him as a keyboardist and vocalist, leading to a fruitful collaboration and tour. Zeiner's own songwriting flourished during this time, contributing notably to the band's repertoire. After four years touring, he returned home, focused on original material, and formed his own band. They achieved recognition with their 2007 release, "Live on a Summer Night," and continued to evolve through collaborations with artists like Melvin Sparks and Jeff Pevar. Zeiner's band has since been working on an ambitious new album, showcasing his ability to craft infectious melodies with tight, dynamic arrangements across a range of soul, R&B, and rock genres. Johnny Trama on guitar conjures up riffs and rhythms that speak volumes. His journey through the realms of rock, soul, and blues, playing with icons like Bettye LaVette and Jesse Dee, has armed him with a mystical musical prowess. Jesse Williams on bass has played with everyone from Duke Robillard, Louis Walker to North Mississippi Allstars. Tom Arey behind the drums has played with artists like Peter Wolf’s Midnight Travelers. Brendan Tommaney on percussion has played with groups like Pink Talking Fish, Tommaney and brings a jazz-infused sensibility that adds depth and dimension to the band's sound.

Yellow Brick Road: A Tribute to Elton John
|
CONCERT SERIES SPONSOR
|
There is no other performer who looks and sounds so much like Elton John, nor any tribute act that provides the experience of being at an Elton John concert the way Gerald Brann and Yellow Brick Road do. Brann not only bears an uncanny resemblance to the international superstar — complete with gap-toothed smile and many of his mannerisms — but recreates Elton John's vocals and playing to a tee.
To capture the essence of the piano man, Brann dresses in replica costumes and wears Elton's trademark outrageous glasses. A trained jazz pianist, Brann has been a lifelong Elton John fan, and his admiration for and love of his music comes shining through as he plays one hit after another with remarkable likeness to the pop music icon. Brann and his talented five-piece band evoke audience participation throughout the entire show — whether singing along to "Rocket Man" and "Your Song," swaying to "Candle in the Wind," or hopping and bopping to "Crocodile Rock."
With an unprecedented nod from the man himself, Gerald Brann was granted permission to use Elton John's own orchestral scores to perform with the Augusta Symphony Orchestra. In addition, Brann and Yellow Brick Road have been officially endorsed by Hercules, the International Elton John Fan Club, and have played extensively throughout the world to rave reviews.
