SUMMARY:BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet at the Parkway Theater
DESCRIPTION:For the past 50+ years\, GRAMMY Award-winning Cajun legends BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet have been making some of the most potent and popular Cajun music on the planet. \nBorn out of the rich Acadian ancestry of its members\, and created and driven by bandleader Michael Doucet’s spellbinding fiddle playing and soulful vocals\, BeauSoleil is notorious for bringing even the most staid audience to its feet. BeauSoleil’s distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleans jazz\, blues rock\, folk\, swamp pop\, Zydeco\, country and bluegrass — captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans\, to Carnegie Hall\, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson’s Meltdown Festival in England. \nLaissez les bon temps rouler! \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheir most recent album and the 25th in their fifty-plus-year career\, is titled From Bamako to Carencro\, alluding the cultural and migratory connection between Bamako\, in Mali\, West Africa\, and Louisiana (symbolized in name by the Lafayette\, LA suburb of Carencro)\, a connection that draws a sonic bloodline back to BeauSoleil’s roots. Since becoming the first Cajun band to win a GRAMMY with L’amour Ou La Folie (their Traditional Folk Album\, released in 1998) and then a second GRAMMY in 2010\, Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, BeauSoleil has garnered many accolades\, including a total of twelve GRAMMY nominations. They are regular guests on Garrison Keillor’s NPR show A Prairie Home Companion\, where Keillor has dubbed them as “the best Cajun band in the world\,” and their music is so integral to the Cajun culture that they have been featured on the critically-acclaimed New Orleans–based HBO series\, Treme. Critics unanimously agree that it is “bon temps\, every time they play\,” (New York Times).

SUMMARY:R Carlos Nakai at the Dakota
DESCRIPTION:“Nakai is creating… a body of work that could be considered as modern as classical music.” – Focus Magazine\nR. Carlos Nakai is widely considered the world’s premier performer of the Native American flute. Also\, he is the only American Native performer performing in the Indigenous genre to achieve a Platinum Record. His Canyon Trilogy has sold over 1 million copies. Additionally\, Nakai has a successful career in many genres of music. He is an eleven-time Grammy nominee and serves as an effective ambassador in reaching new concert audiences. \nNakai stands as one of the most renowned and influential American Indian musicians of the modern era. He has spent decades weaving the ancient sounds of his heritage with contemporary musical forms. Thus\, he created a body of work that transcends genre and brings Indigenous traditions to audiences worldwide.  \nNakai grew up steeped in the stories\, songs\, and communal values of his ancestors. Living in the Southwest United States\, he experienced both the challenges and the beauty of life as an Indigenous person in a changing world. His family’s encouragement and his exposure to traditional ceremonies laid the foundation for his later artistic journey. He also gained an early appreciation for the importance of cultural preservation. Here\, this theme would become central to his life’s work. \nNakai approaches the Native American flute with both innovation and respect. Rather than simply replicating traditional songs\, he has expanded the instrument’s expressive possibilities. Furthermore\, he employs new fingering techniques\, extended melodies\, and harmonics. Here\, he blends the flute’s haunting tones with elements of jazz\, classical\, and world music. He also composes original works for flute integrating influences from his heritage with contemporary sensibilities. His music carries a universal message of peace\, healing\, and connection to the land.

Through an interdisciplinary practice that focuses on oral storytelling; improvisation; and the interrelations between speech\, silence\, disability\, and religion\, they have collaborated with choreographers\, rappers\, playwrights\, booksellers\, typographers\, podcasters\, toddlers\, and filmmakers.

SUMMARY:Dean Magraw\, Gary Raynor\, Jay Epstein at the Hat!
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by decades of performing and recording with a cornucopia of heroic Artists\, Dean Magraw’s poetic musical dynamism mines the depths of passionate healing melody stirring up textures of the unusual and the familiar as the music weaves the simple story of how we feel right now.\n“Dean’s guitar playing transcends\, transports and lifts the soul to a higher level as he weaves\, cajoles and entices every note from his instrument. The note\, length of note\, tone of note\, the bending of the note; every colour of the note is explored and delivered with a master’s care and love. Just as important are the silences with which he knits his music… these can only come with being at one with one’s art. Dean Magraw is an incredible world class musician who’s modesty only makes him more appreciated by the listener.” -Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (Altan)\n“Dean Magraw… so liquid\, lyrical and effortless it’s like listening to a dancer.” -Steve Tibbetts\n“Dean Magraw unveils soulful melodic grooves intricately designed to heal the broken dancer\, confuse the boldest mathematician\, and eradicate ennui in our lifetime.” -Nick Lethert \nHome

SUMMARY:Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:In Chicago\, a city overflowing with unrivaled blues talent\, world-renowned Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials have been standing tall for over thirty years. There\, the band’s big sound is as real and hard-hitting as Chicago blues gets. It’s fueled by Lil’ Ed’s gloriously rollicking slide work and deep blues string bending\, along with his rough-edged\, soulful vocals. The Chicago Sun-Times says\, “Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials are the hottest purveyors of bottleneck boogie to come out of Chicago since Hound Dog Taylor.” \nLil’ Ed Williams comes to the blues naturally. His uncle\, slide guitar king and master songwriter J.B. Hutto\, taught him how to feel\, not just play the blues. Nine albums and thousands of performances later\, Lil’ Ed is now universally hailed as a giant of the genre. Additionally\, the band includes bassist (and Ed’s half-brother) James “Pookie” Young\, guitarist Mike Garrett and drummer Kelly Littleton. Also\, they have remained together for over thirty years\, an extraordinary feat for any group. Moreover\, the band fuels Ed’s songs with their rock-solid\, road-tested\, telepathic musicianship. \nThe group took home the Living Blues Award for Best Live Performer in 2011\, 2012 and 2013. They won the prestigious Blues Music Award for Band Of The Year in both 2007 and 2009. The Associated Press says\, “Williams fills Chicago’s biggest shoes with more life and heat than anyone on stage today.” \nTheir infectious energy\, joyful showmanship and masterful playing have been honed to a razor’s edge by their many years together. Lil’ Ed\, Pookie\, Mike and Kelly have seen sports stars and presidents\, musical fads and fashion trends come and go.

Bring your other instruments to the session! \nHouse Band:\nMarvelous – Piano\nPete James Johnson – Drums\nHenry Breen – Bass\nJovon Williams – Saxophones
