2007 Heritage Music Series:
Saturday, March 3, 8 p.m.
Marshall Crenshaw Band
Marshall Crenshaw has been an influential force in the American music scene for
decades. Weaned on classic Motown R&B, he is a true rock-and-roll renaissance
man whose music never fails to entertain and inspire. Hailed as a "consummate
pop craftsman," he has performed with Motown's legendary Funk Brothers and
played the parts of Buddy Holly in La Bamba and John Lennon in Beatlemania. $25
in advance; $27 at the door.
Saturday, April 14, 8 p.m.
Juanito Pascual Flamenco Ensemble
Jonathan "Juanito" Pascual discovered flamenco music at age fifteen. He soon
immersed himself in flamenco culture in Spain, studying with Adam del Monte,
Parilla de Jerez, Manolo Sanlucar, El Entri, and most recently, Boston based
maestro Dimitri Goryachev. Often called "one of the greatest American flamenco
guitarists," he served as director for the New England Conservatory's Annual
Summer Flamenco Institute and has performed on NPR's "The World" and "Here and
Now." $20 in advance; $22 at the door.
Saturday, May 5, 8 p.m.
Liz Carroll and Trian Reunion Concert
Liz Carroll has been amazing crowds with her fiddle playing since she won the
All-Ireland Senior Fiddle title at the age of 18 in 1975. The daughter of Irish
immigrants in Chicago, she used her family and community as inspiration for her
music. She joined with Billy McComiskey and Daithi Sproule to form the Celtic
supergroup Trian. They transcended boundaries, mixing traditional music with a
modern flair to create a style that is uniquely their own. This is Trian's only
scheduled appearance. $25 in advance; $27 at the door.
Thursday, May 17, 7:30 p.m.
Banjo Extravaganza
Enjoy a night of bluegrass and old-time music with some of the world's best
banjo players. More than 20 musicians-including Eric Weissberg and Lorraine Lee
Hammond-will perform lively songs inspired by traditional and other musical
genres. Co-sponsored with the Banjo Camp North. $20 in advance; $22 at the door.
Saturday, June 2, 8 p.m.
Howard Tate
A legend of soul music, Tate recorded the original versions of classics like
"Get It While You Can" (made famous by Janis Joplin) and "Ain't Nobody Home."
Elvis Costello calls his unique voice "the missing link between Jackie Wilson
and Al Green," and his recordings have been covered by the likes of Jimi
Hendrix, Aretha Franklin and The Band. After living in a shelter, dependent on
drugs, Tate turned his life around in the 1990s, and has since released several
acclaimed recordings. This show is the New England debut of his new acoustic
group, featured on the album A Portrait of Howard, which tells his life story
through music. $25 in advance, $27 at the door.
