The Town Hall

Southern singer-songwriter Lizz Wright crafts a distinct mixture of jazz, folk, gospel, R&B, and is widely celebrated as a rising star in the jazz world. The warmth and resonance of her gospel-trained contralto is matched only by her versatile, deeply expressive style. The New York Times says, “she stands in a direct line of descent from Odetta through Tracy Chapman, singers whose source of sustenance is the African-American spiritual tradition.” Grammy-nominated Richard Bona is universally recognized as an absolute master of his art and a melodist of rare elegance and sensuality. He's a poignant singer and one of the world's greatest bassists. Newsweek says, "even the hippest of the hip give it up when the subject turns to Richard Bona, a slight, shy virtuoso of the electric bass guitar from a mud-hut village deep in Cameroon."

Dubbed “The Last Leading Man” by The New York Times, Brian Stokes Mitchell is the quintessential musical theatre performer. At home on the Broadway stage, the Tony Award- winning actor has held leads in Kiss Me, Kate, Man of La Mancha and Ragtime, and is equally at home in concert settings from Feinstein’s to Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl. The recipient of the 2006 Nightlife and MAC Awards for Outstanding Cabaret Male Vocalist in a Major Engagement, his musical versatility and thrilling voice make for an instrument that The New York Times says “rumbles out of him like thunder underlined by drum rolls.” Don’t miss this exciting evening.

Jakob Dylan and Three Legs tour features Neko Case and Kelly Hogan and is in support of his newest album Women and Country set for release April 6th. Recorded in Los Angeles, CA, Women and Country finds Jakob reuniting with acclaimed Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe winning producer T-Bone Burnett (Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, Crazy Heart), who produced the Wallflowers' 1996 breakthrough album Bringing Down the Horse. Jakob is also joined by Neko Case and Kelly Hogan, who provide back-up vocals on 8 of the album’s 11 tracks.

Soulful yet striking and ripe with sublime beauty, Jakob reaches new majestic heights on this release with his distinct voice and unparalleled songwriting. This, coupled with T-Bone Burnett’s haunting production and the stirringly rich vocals by Neko Case and Kelly Hogan, creates a powerful and melancholic experience for the listener.

Backing Jakob Dylan up on the album’s 11 songs are T Bone Burnett’s acclaimed group of musicians including Dennis Crouch (bass), Jay Bellerose (drums), David Mansfield (fiddle & mandolin), Marc Ribot (guitar), Keefus Ciancia (keyboards), Greg Leisz (pedal steel), Darrell Leonard (trumpet), Ira Nepus (trombone) and George Bohanon (horns).  Standout tracks include the opener Nothin' But the Whole Wide World, which sets the tone of the album, the pensive ballad Down on Our Own Shield and Everybody's Hurtin’, which showcases Jakob and Neko’s moving harmonies.

Prairie Home Companion

The Schumann Trio was conceived in 2008 by violist Michael Tree, clarinetist Anthony McGill, and pianist Anna Polonsky. These three artists made their initial musical connection at the Curtis Institute, and the Marlboro Music Festival. After many years of performing together in different combinations, crossing paths at music festivals, and collaborating with the Guarneri String Quartet (of which Mr. Tree is a founding member), the three musicians decided to come together to explore the rich, and somewhat under-represented, repertoire for clarinet, piano, and viola or violin.
