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. The group\, which includes multi-instrumentalists Peter Lalish and Dan Molad\, have released three albums\, and toured the globe\, cultivating a passionate following for their ingenious art-pop creations and exhilarating live performances. The gifted melodicists and songwriters bring a startling level of musicianship to Lucius — which is evident in the astounding talent they’ve collaborated with over the course of their prolific 16-year career. \nReleased in 2013\, Wildewoman\, Lucius’ debut album\, featured the enduring single “Two of Us on the Run” and set off a wave of critical acclaim including Rolling Stone\, who called the album’s updated 60’s girl group sounds “fresh and thrilling.” On their second album\, 2016’s Good Grief\, the Los Angeles-based group mined their influences to create an album NPR called\, “Rapturous\,” and expanded their quickly growing fan-base even wider. 2022’s 80’s dance-inflected LP Second Nature\, produced by Brandi Carlile and Dave Cobb\, included “Next to Normal\,” one of NPR Music’s top songs of the year\, and the sparkling disco-gemmed “Dance Around It\,” featuring Carlile and Sheryl Crow. \nIn addition to their work with Lucius\, the GRAMMY-nominated Wolfe and Laessig are among the most sought-after vocalists in popular music. The pair are members of Joni Mitchell’s famed “Joni Jam” crew and have graced songs by dozens of contemporary and legendary artists alike including: Carlile\, The War on Drugs\, John Legend\, The Killers\, Harry Styles\, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats\, Black Pumas\, Jeff Tweedy\, and Ozzy Osbourne\, just to name a few. In 2023\, Lucius signed with Fantasy Records and will release their fourth full-length album in 2024.

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.

Miss Tutti is on a mission to create a musical safe space for all\, kids and adults alike.

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)

SUMMARY:JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA WITH WYNTON MARSALIS
DESCRIPTION:The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO)\, comprising 15 of the finest jazz soloists and ensemble players today\, has been the Jazz at Lincoln Center resident orchestra since 1988 and spends over a third of the year on tour across the world. 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. Under Music Director Wynton Marsalis\, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra performs a vast repertoire\, from rare historic compositions to Jazz at Lincoln Center-commissioned works\, including compositions and arrangements by Duke Ellington\, Count Basie\, Fletcher Henderson\, Thelonious Monk\, Mary Lou Williams\, Dizzy Gillespie\, Benny Goodman\, Charles Mingus\, and current and former Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra members Wynton Marsalis\, Wycliffe Gordon\, Ted Nash\, Victor Goines\, Sherman Irby\, Chris Crenshaw\, and Carlos Henriquez. For more information on Jazz at Lincoln Center\, please visit www.jazz.org. \nWYNTON MARSALIS\nWynton Marsalis(Music Director\, Trumpet) is the Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center(JALC). 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).
