SUMMARY:LUCIUS
DESCRIPTION:Formed by lead vocalists and songwriters Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig\, acclaimed indie band Lucius is best known for their sinuous harmonies and highly-original\, pop-noir musical artistry.

SUMMARY:DARK STAR ORCHESTRA
DESCRIPTION:Performing to critical acclaim for over 20 years and over 3000 shows\, Dark Star Orchestra continues the Grateful Dead live concert experience. Their shows are built off the Dead’s extensive catalog and the talent of these seven fine musicians. On any given night\, the band will perform a show based on a set list from the Grateful Dead’s 30 years of extensive touring or use their catalog to program a unique set list for the show. This allows fans both young and old to share in the experience. By recreating set lists from the past\, and by developing their own sets of Dead songs\, Dark Star Orchestra offers a continually evolving artistic outlet within this musical canon. Honoring both the band and the fans\, Dark Star Orchestra’s members seek out the unique style and sound of each era while simultaneously offering their own informed improvisations. \nDark Star Orchestra offers much more than the sound of the Grateful Dead\, they truly encapsulate the energy and the experience. It’s about a sense of familiarity. It’s about a feeling that grabs listeners and takes over. It’s about that contagious energy…in short\, it’s about the complete experience and consistent quality show that the fan receives when attending a Dark Star Orchestra show. \nDark Star Orchestra has performed throughout the entire United States\, including a sold out debut at Colorado’s Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater\, plus shows in Europe and the Caribbean with the band touching down in seven different countries. DSO continues to grow its fan base by playing at larger venues for two and even three-night stands\, as well as performing at major music festivals including Bonnaroo\, Milwaukee’s SummerFest\, The Peach Music Festival\, Jam Cruise\, Wanee Festival\, SweetWater 420 Festival\, Mountain Jam\, and many more. \nIn addition to appearing at some of the nation’s top festival\, Dark Star Orchestra hosts its own annual music festival and campaign gathering\, titled the “Dark Star Jubilee”\, currently in its eighth year where DSO headline all three nights and are joined by a mix of established and up and coming national touring acts. Beyond the shores of the United States\, DSO has taken its internationally-acclaimed Grateful Dead tribute to the beaches of Jamaica in the dead of winter for the past six years\, with their event appropriately titled ‘Jam in the Sand’. Featuring an ocean-side stage\, DSO sets up camp to perform shows for four nights along the tropical sands of an all-inclusive resort\, selling out the event each year for hundreds of lucky attendees. \nFans and critics haven’t been the only people caught up in the spirit of a Dark Star show. The band has featured guest performances from six original Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh\, Bob Weir\, Bill Kreutzmann\, Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay\, Vince Welnick\, Tom Constanten and even toured with longtime Dead soundman\, Dan Healy. Other notable guests have included Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman of Phish\, Keller Williams\, Warren Haynes\, Steve Kimock\, Peter Rowan\, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot and many more. \n“For us it’s a chance to recreate some of the magic that was created for us over the years\,” keyboardist and vocalist Rob Barraco explains. “We offer a sort of a historical perspective at what it might have been like to go to a show in 1985\, 1978 or whenever. Even for Deadheads who can say they’ve been to a hundred shows in the 90s\, we offer something they never got to see live.”

SUMMARY:Son Little With Tonina - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:Son Little’s live show brings his music into a different kind of clarity- raw\, expressive\, and always evolving. Whether solo or with a full band\, he moves fluidly between deep grooves\, stripped-down intimacy\, and moments that feel completely improvised yet emotionally precise. It’s a performance style shaped by instinct and connection\, grounded in the richness of his voice and the depth of his songwriting. \nOver the past decade\, he’s cultivated a sound that draws from soul\, blues\, folk\, hip-hop\, and R&B – without ever settling fully into any one space. That spirit carries into the room when he performs\, offering something that feels both familiar and entirely his own. Audiences are pulled into songs built on texture and vulnerability\, delivered with equal parts grit and grace. It’s not just a setlist – it’s an experience. \nFollowing a run through the UK and Europe supporting Larkin Poe\, Son Little is back with a new wave of music and a fresh stretch of tour dates for winter and spring. His new album CITYFOLK is set for release in March 2026\, with recent singles “in orbit” and “be better” offering a first look at what’s to come – both onstage and beyond in the months ahead. \nTonina is a St. Louis-raised\, Brooklyn-based vocalist\, bassist and writer who brings a rich blend of Jazz\, Folk\, and Latin boleros into her music\, deeply influenced by her Sicilian and Black American heritage and passion for storytelling. \nHer artistry spans singing\, bass playing and songwriting creating an innovative sound that blends tradition with contemporary edge. She has garnered acclaim on NPR’s favorite new artists list and former President Barack Obama’s annual favorite songs list. \nShe performs solo and with her quartet on stages worldwide\, showcasing her multilingual repertoire in Sicilian\, English\, and Spanish. With over 5 projects\, Tonina is steadily building a reputation for their unique fusion of Black\, Latin\, and folk traditions\, and her upcoming projects promise to explore new sonic territories\, continuing her journey as one of music’s most exciting rising voices.

SUMMARY:Circles Around The Sun - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles-based instrumental supergroup Circles Around The Sun is a contemporary instrumental rock band\, initially formed in 2015\, when Justin Kreutzmann\, son of Grateful Dead drummer Bill\, invited founder Neal Casal to compose the intermission music for the Dead’s “Fare Thee Well” concerts. \nAs those shows celebrated the band’s 50th anniversary\, Circles Around The Sun’s earliest compositions Interludes For The Dead were designed to reflect the Dead’s overall spacey\, improvised\, and groove-laden feel. \nThe response was so positive that they continued on with a follow-up project\, Let It Wander\, in 2018. This record was less influenced by the Dead and more free-form\, delivering on the roots influence of jazz-funk\, soul\, and fusion. \nThe band underwent a fundamental transition in 2019. After completing the Meets Joe Russo EP and a third album\, their guitarist Neal Casal died on August 26\, 2019. He left his bandmates a note asking for them to continue in his absence– to continue recording\, touring\, and playing together. The band decided to carry on with a rotating cast of guitarists\, landing on John Lee Shannon as the permanent replacement. They continue the legacy to this day. \nCircles Around The Sun is a first-of-its-kind band that has continued to trail-blaze the instrumental cosmic disco space for nearly a decade\, shapeshifting through several iterations. Not just spiritually but actually and tangibly linked to Grateful Dead history\, the band’s music shares shelf space with post-rock\, psych-rock\, jazz-funk\, and good old fashioned psychedelia\, while their recorded output has included collaborations with such diverse luminaries as Joe Russo\, Billy Strings and Mikaela Davis. Original instrumentals form the bedrock of CATS’ live show\, taking fans on a whole different journey every time. \nMeet the CATS: Adam MacDougall (keys)\, Dan Horne (bass)\, John Lee Shannon (guitar)\, Mark Levy (drums)

Featured in all aspects of Jazz atLincoln Center’s programming\, this remarkably versatile orchestra performs and lead seducational events in New York\, across the U.S.\, and around the globe; in concert halls; dance venues; jazz clubs; public parks; and with symphony orchestras\, ballet troupes\, local students\, and an ever-expanding roster of guest artists.

Born in New Orleans\, Louisiana in 1961\, he is the son of renowned jazz pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis\, Jr. Marsalis was gifted his first trumpet at age six by Al Hirt; soon thereafter\, he began playing in New Orleans’ famed Fairview Baptist Church Bandled by banjoist Danny Barker. However\, it wasn’t until he turned twelve that Marsalis began to formally train on the trumpet and perform in bands throughout the city\, from the New Orleans Philharmonic and New Orleans Youth Orchestra to funk bands\, concert bands\, and small jazz ensembles. As a teenager\, his passion for music rapidly escalated. In 1979\, at the age of seventeen\, Marsalis moved to New York City to study classical trumpet at The Juilliard School. Yet he quickly entrenched himself in New York’s effervescent jazz scene\, launching his career with the legendary Art Blakey &The Jazz Messengers. At just nineteen\, Marsalis hit the road with his own band—he has been touring the world ever since. From 1981 to the time of this writing\, he has performed 5\,328 concerts in 856 distinct cities and 66 countries around the world. \nWynton Marsalis’ core beliefs and foundation for living are based on the principles of jazz. He promotes individual creativity (improvisation)\, collective cooperation (swing)\, gratitude and good manners (sophistication)\, and facing adversity with persistent optimism (the blues).

SUMMARY:MATTEO BOCELLI - Falling In Love World Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Levitt Pavilion presents Matteo Bocelli – The Falling In Love World Tour.  With his newly released second album\, Falling In Love\, Matteo Bocelli steps confidently into the spotlight as the next generation artist\, with the heart of a poet and the reach of a global star. \nFalling In Love is an album rich in romantic yearning and vulnerability\, with passionate showpieces like Amnesia d’amore and the cinematic\, emotionally-charged pop ballad entitled If I Can’t Have You. Every track combines a power of classical tradition with modern storytelling. \nFalling in Love was recorded in his hometown of Tuscany with producer Martin Terefe (Shawn Mendes\, Jason Mraz) and a world-class ensemble. The album connects Matteo with his roots while also capturing the spirit of timeless romance.  Falling in Love marks a new era for Matteo\, blending his classical\, Italian heritage with modern pop for a taste of ‘la dolce vita’ – the album is steeped in the romance and elegance only Italy can provide.  \nMatteo co-wrote all of the album’s original songs\, collaborating with acclaimed songwriters including Terefe\, Toby Gad (Beyoncé\, John Legend)\, Iain Archer (Snow Patrol)\, and Johan Carlsson (Ariana Grande). The result is a collection of songs that explores love\, vulnerability\, and connection\, all while showcasing his skill not only as a vocalist but also as a pianist and musician. \nMatteo has collaborated with stars like Ed Sheeran and Sofia Carson\, and performed for some of the biggest names across the world\, including King Charles III\, President Biden\, The Kardashians\, and even opened for Lionel Richie. He recently performed alongside his father during Snoop Dogg’s Holiday Halftime Party on NFL Christmas Gameday On Netflix. \nTo purchase tickets and for more information visit LevittPavilion.COM.

Order the album HERE. \nMatteo co-wrote all of the album’s original songs\, collaborating with acclaimed songwriters including Terefe\, Toby Gad (Beyoncé\, John Legend)\, Iain Archer (Snow Patrol)\, and Johan Carlsson (Ariana Grande). The result is a collection of songs that explores love\, vulnerability\, and connection\, all while showcasing his skill not only as a vocalist but also as a pianist and musician. \nMatteo has collaborated with stars like Ed Sheeran and Sofia Carson\, and performed for some of the biggest names across the world\, including King Charles III\, President Biden\, The Kardashians\, and even opened for Lionel Richie. He recently performed alongside his father during Snoop Dogg’s Holiday Halftime Party on NFL Christmas Gameday On Netflix. \nHe maybe a global heart-throb but love\, for Matteo\, isn’t a gimmick – it’s a philosophy. ‘Love is a universal language. There’s not just romantic love\,’ he says. ‘There’s heartbreak\, family\, childhood\, love for friends and even animals – even the love that changes as you grow.’ In an age of dopamine loops and disposable love songs\, Matteo’s music is about craving\, not clicking; desire\, not immediacy. It embodies a powerful counter-movement: Bring Back Yearning – a call to revive the emotional depth\, longing\, and bittersweet anticipation that modern life often eclipses. \nFalling in Love is a love letter to that feeling — to the slow burn of desire\, the ache of heartbreak\, and the beauty found in emotional sensitivity. Original songs like Glimpse of Happiness\, inspired by waking up to birdsong in Tuscany\, reflect Matteo’s philosophy that happiness is fleeting but found in small\, beautiful moments\, while the upbeat track Love Like This celebrates joyful intimacy\, capturing the lighter\, exuberant side of the album’s emotional journey. \nWhen your father is the legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli – the voice that has wowed the world for over three decades – stepping into the spotlight isn’t just a career move – it’s a birthright\, a burden\, and a generational breakthrough which has taken Matteo from heir to innovator. Just as Ferrari embodies Italian excellence on four wheels\, the Bocelli name is synonymous with the country’s rich culture. The Bocellis are no ordinary family. Home for them are the rolling Tuscan hills and vineyards\, evoking the quintessential Italian dream of sun-soaked afternoons. But behind the star-studded scenes\, Matteo’s life is far from the glitz of the stage. He treasures the company of close friends\, playing FIFA and even fixing cars together. ‘They don’t care who I sing with or to\,’ he laughs. ‘They just want to win the game.’ \nThis is Matteo Bocelli – the multi-skilled artist\, the down-to-earth\, yet romantic dreamer\, the heir to a timeless tradition. Like Shawn Mendes stepping onto a global stage\, or Enrique Iglesias re-defining romance for a generation\, Matteo is set to become a universal favourite – a modern icon with an old soul\, a bridge between old-world passion and new-world sophistication.

The Connecticut-based quartet—Jake Brownstein (guitar\, vocals)\, Dani Battat (keys\, vocals)\, Mike Goodman (bass\, vocals)\, and Alex Bailey (drums\, vocals)—has built a reputation for emotionally resonant songs and live performances that turn every set into an unpredictable\, communal experience. \n2024 marked a breakout moment for the band with the release of their sophomore album Waiting Game\, a refined studio statement co-produced by White Denim’s James Petralli.

With continued headline touring on the horizon and plans to begin creating new music in early 2026\, the band is focused on pushing their sound forward without losing the emotional core that has defined them.

SUMMARY:Elena Moon Park: Children’s Series - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:ELENA MOON PARK CELEBRATES THE MAGIC OF EVERYDAY LIFE ON NOTHING IS ORDINARY – A GLOBALLY INSPIRED ALL AGES ALBUM OUT MAY 29\, 2026 \nMusician and cultural producer Elena Moon Park returns with Nothing Is Ordinary\, a luminous new collection of songs that invites listeners of all ages to rediscover the wonder woven into everyday life. \nBuilt around the idea that the world surrounding us is both ordinary and extraordinary at once\, the album encourages a deeper kind of listening\, one that embraces birdsong in the morning\, the quiet glow of the moon in daylight\, and the countless small stories unfolding around us at any given moment. \n“When I sit with this idea\, I find myself noticing more of both the grand and the mundane\,” says Park. “I’m reminded that so much of my joy comes from listening closely\, from paying attention to the world and the people around me. This collection of songs is dedicated to the idea that everything around us is magical\, while also being oh-so common. And I realize that my greatest joy is in hearing and noticing everyone and everything\, and listening for all the stories\, large and small. Everyone has a story to share. Find yours and sing it loud.” \nNothing Is Ordinary is Park’s third all ages album\, and continues her singular approach to family music\, one rooted in respect\, curiosity\, and artistic depth. The collection brings together reimagined folk and children’s songs from East and Southeast Asia alongside original compositions inspired in part by the artwork of longtime collaborator Kristiana Pärn.

SUMMARY:DOGS IN A PILE - Summer Tour
DESCRIPTION:Something organic has been blooming from Asbury Park\, New Jersey\, and is now making its way around the world. Dogs In A Pile\, a band of five twenty somethings with old souls and limitless chops\, is waking people up to the timeless and ineffable joys of psychedelic-tinged jazz-funk rock n’ roll. \nThis is one of the busiest touring bands of today\, averaging 130 live shows per year since 2022. The road has become their creative engine\, generating a rapidly growing catalog of original tunes. Distroid\, the band’s newest album\, is a 10-song collection featuring long-awaited studio versions of some of the Dogs’ most beloved repertoire. \nDogs In A Pile is guitarist Jimmy Law\, guitarist Brian Murray\, keyboardist Jeremy Kaplan\, bassist Sam Lucid\, and drummer Joe Babick. In addition\, the Dogs In A Pile community includes the Dog Pound\, the group’s extended family of fans across the country. \nBesides being a lyric from the Grateful Dead song\, “He’s Gone\,” the name “Dogs In A Pile” is an apt description of the five-piece band’s stylistic breadth. The sonic image it conjures is a heap of storyteller Americana\, bluegrass\, jazz improvisation\, eccentric instrumental excursions\, pop-rock sophistication\, and deep-pocket grooves\, ranging from funk to Latin to reggae and beyond. \nDistroid features material that has already become staples of the band’s live show. These studio renditions have afforded the group a chance to present the compositions just how they envision them. Distroid offers a cross-section of the Dogs In A Pile essence\, tight and tuneful four-minute funk and jazz informed psych-rock songs\, and then sprawling 15-minute compositions with intricate unison lines\, agile genre-jumping\, and dazzling improvisation. \nTo purchase tickets to this event\, and for more event information\, visit www.levittpavilion.com\, The Levitt Pavilion Season includes paid-ticket programming alongside the over 50 shows presented free-of-charge each year.

His deeply soulful vocals transport you straight back to a smoke-filled speakeasy that somehow still feels fresh and innovative. \nBetween stints working on music regularly in Liverpool & London\, Jones has travelled the world as a musician & penned songs for other artists\, making a name for himself as a gifted and prolific songwriter. But lockdown gave him the time and space to put his talent under his own name. His debut single\, “I Won’t Ever Say Goodbye\,” was a soulful\, heart-on-sleeve ballad that marked the start of big things and he has followed it with a series of singles that have grabbed widespread attention and half a million monthly listeners on Spotify\, especially after BBC introducing multiple spins on 1xtra\, where MT was a ‘Step up’ artist. \nNow he releases “Joy\,” his debut album\, in March of 2026\, using it as a launchpad for an extended time on the road\, where audiences will get a chance to vibe with his substantial talents in a live setting.

SUMMARY:LaMP ft. Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:On a magical night at Nectar’s in Burlington\, Vermont in December of 2018\, three musical masters—Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowski—came together with alchemical synthesis\, and created a fresh\, so-tight-it’s-free sound\, permeated with technical prowess and a deep-pocket punch. The packed house fortunate enough to be in attendance that night witnessed the birth of something very special. The following spring\, the trio took the name LaMP by combining the first letters of each members’ surname\, and reconvened back in Vermont at Sugarhouse Soundworks for an intense recording session with sound engineer Roger Stauss laying down tracks that would become their eponymous debut EP. \nMetzger\, described by The Village Voice as “…an ace guitarist of a thousand styles\,” and a full-time member of the beloved Joe Russo’s Almost Dead\, tested the decades-strong synergy between Lawton and Paczkowski forged from their time playing with Trey Anastasio Band and their duo project Soule Monde. It resulted in seven tracks crackling with energy and soul. The melodic and harmonic interplay between Paczkowski’s swirling organ and clavinet dancing with Metzger’s acrobatic melodies on telecaster\, driven by Lawton’s unflappable backbeat\, produced a record that will stand the test of time. Ever since—as the three members busy schedules have allowed—LaMP has prioritized bringing the music to the people with shows across the East Coast. As word has spread and the crowds have grown with each subsequent tour\, it’s become clear that LaMP will be a musical force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future.

SUMMARY:Amelia Day - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:It took a world-shaking breakup for Amelia Day to find her true sound — and herself. She embraces the full range of her influences with “EGO TRIP\,” a genre-bending EP stacked high with alt-rock guitars\, pop hooks\, swooning keyboards\, and the sharp songwriting of a lifelong storyteller. Inspired by the sudden collapse of a college romance\, “EGO TRIP” finds room for anger\, liberation\, and healing\, with Amelia nodding not only to the folk music she discovered as a child in the Pacific Northwest\, but also the electrifying empowerment of her favorite 1990s frontwomen. The result is a collection of melody-driven songs that breathe new life into classic sounds\, largely written in her adopted hometown of Nashville and recorded at Bear Creek Studio in her home state of Washington. With “EGO TRIP\,” Amelia Day creates her own geography. \n“It’s at once precisely curated\, each note and lyric accounted for\, and eagerly committed to the maximalist extremes of whatever genre’s playground she’s found herself in.” – Washington Post \n“Gracing Spotify playlists with titles like ‘Narnia vibes for reading\,’ ‘goblin core’ and ‘sapphic songs for your talking stages\,’ Day’s music is upfront about what it is: honest and relatable storytelling.” – Inlander \n“Her lyricism has done some shifting\, too. Although Day still writes about love\, heartbreak and the many variables of a romantic relationship\, she has found herself writing about journeying into adulthood\, climate change\, omniscient perspectives and more. Day has also acquired a story-telling style featuring wordplay\, double-meanings and rhythmic variations.” – Spokesman-Review \n“Embracing honesty and staying true to herself throughout these challenges has given her songs a rawness that resonates strongly with listeners — both lyrically and musically.” — Northwest Noise Magazine \n“Day’s set was energetic\, emotional and full of fun\, just like all of her music. Wherever Amelia Day’s musical journey takes her next\, I’m excited to be a fan along for the ride.” – Vanderbilt Hustler

Blending psychedelic funk rock and thoughtful indie-reminiscent songwriting\, the band thrives at the intersection of structure and spontaneity\, where carefully crafted songs open into expansive\, playful jams and seamless\, improv-driven segues. Formed just four years ago\, Residual Groove is anchored by brothers Previn Edwards (guitar\, vocals) and Kiran Edwards (keyboards\, vocals)\, whose collaborative chemistry shapes the band’s melodic and harmonic identity\, and is rounded out by Ryan Berry (bass\, backing vocals)\, Adam Finkelstein (drums\, backing vocals)\, and Garrett Halstead (percussion)\, who together lay down a rhythm section that is both precise and exploratory\, equally capable of deep\, entrancing grooves and sudden lift-offs. \nWhile the live show experience is a central pillar of the band’s identity\, Residual Groove places equal emphasis on studio work and intentional songwriting.
