One hot Saturday afternoon in 1988, blues guitarist Drew Townson, then freshly relocated from Dallas to Boston, was laying on the couch nursing a hangover He was watching an old cowboy movie called “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” The music in the Italian Western caught Drew’s attention, big time He jumped off the couch, grabbed his Stratocaster, and began playing in a whole new way That moment changed Drew’s musical direction forever By 1989 he had started a band called the Derangers (pronounced “De-Rangers”), dedicated to playing spooky instrumental themes, encompassing Spaghetti Western, Surf, Spy-Jazz and more The first original recording by The Derangers was a filmic western called “Rio Sangre,” which was internationally hailed as a standout track By the early 90’s film directors like David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino were also exploring this haunted, reverberant sound in their movies Drew had always been a fan of original Surf-guitar kings like Dick Dale and The Ventures, so it was only natural to combine all these influences in to the Derangers’ “WesterMental” sound With Drew’s Strat a-blazin’ the trio gigged, toured and recorded from 1990 to 2000, Now, after a decade of dormancy, those bad bandidos are BACK!]]>

"Dar Williams, one of America's very best singer-songwriters Her songs are beautiful Some are like finely crafted short stories They are, variously, devastatingly moving, tenderly funny, subtle without being in any way inaccessible, and utterly fresh—not a cliché or a clunker in her entire songbook" -The New Yorker (Nov 2011)   "Seasons change, but Williams remains both ambitious and pleasingly plainspoken" -Rolling Stone   "A new generation of pop-folk enthusiasts lauds her as one of the genre's central figures" -Paste Magazine "One of our most thoughtful singer-songwriters" -New York Daily News   Newton, MA - Beloved singer-songwriter Dar Williams is coming to Newton to make her debut with orchestra! Newton's New Philharmonia Orchestra, under the musical direction of Ronald Knudsen, will present "An Evening with Dar Williams" in concert with the New Philharmonia on Saturday, June 15, at 8:00 PM at the First Baptist Church in Newton 848 Beacon Street, Newton, MA 02459 Reserved seat tickets at $3500, $5000 premium seating and $10000 premium seating with after-show reception with Dar Williams are on sale now on line at http://wwwnewphilorg or by calling: 617-527-9717 The First Baptist Church in Newton is wheelchair accessible For more information about New Philharmonia go to http://wwwnewphilorg   The June 15 concert is a fundraiser for New Philharmonia's Community Engagement Program and it is also Dar Williams's first concert with a symphony orchestra Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra Concertmaster Joseph Scheer, who happens to be Dar's brother-in-law, arranged Dar's music for orchestra and especially for this concert The New Philharmonia Orchestra, founded in 1995, is a 75 member non-professional regional orchestra based in Newton “Music of, by and for the people” wrote The Boston Globe This statement encapsulates the spirit of the organization   Dar’s first album of original material in four years which was released in April 2012 The CD was produced by Kevin Killen (who has worked with such giants as U2, Elvis Costello, and Peter Gabriel), and features special guests Shawn Colvin and Larry Campbell, and a remarkable set of musicians including Charley Drayton, Gerry Leonard, and Rob Hyman Williams presents 10 original compositions on In The Time Of Gods, which explores many of today's most challenging social issues told against the parables of Greek mythology The inimitable collection of songs includes some of the richest and most evocative writing of Williams' career She has just kicked off a national US tour in support of her new CD   In The Time Of Gods covers many relevant topics such as retaining one's moral compass, our personal responsibility in aiding to change the world, the politics of power, and following a guiding light in the midst of chaos The ceaseless turmoil in the world today is of great concern to Williams who is also a wife, mother and community activist Williams was inspired to return to the stories she was told as a child to see if the gods of the Parthenon would speak to her while penning songs for her latest release As it turned out, these stories and characters helped her make sense of our eccentric world and shaped the scope of the album Standout tracks on In The Time Of Gods include the album opener "I Am The One Who Will Remember Everything," "I Have Been Around The World," "Crystal Creek," "Summer Child," and "You Will Ride With Me Tonight"   "It was very intriguing to work with Kevin Killen and the musicians he handpicked for my latest album," says Williams "Kevin really was the alchemist behind the record Ron Hyman and I co-wrote four songs, so a lot of the album is based around our relationship There really is an epic setting for the album, I'm at a point in my life where I feel like people are flying higher and falling harder There is a grown up fairytale feeling to In The Time Of Gods It sparkles with simple and beautiful layers, and it's muscular in places and very lyrical in others It was a great service to my storytelling to have these fine musicians giving the arrangements so much strength and sophistication"   The great achievement of Williams' new album is it gracefully reminds us that wherever we are, whenever it may be, we are always living In the Time of the Gods It's not to say we are living in 400 BC Greece, but rather, as Williams notes, "We are evolving in time And that's what you're allowed to do with mythology – let it evolve and show who your Parthenon is now" Her latest narratives borrow from classic Greek archetypes, but she beautifully shows how flexible and expansive they are by easily weaving in her own personal experiences and insights Williams portrays a spellbinding contemporary interpretation of these classic ancient themes   One of the most lauded singer-songwriters of her generation, Dar Williams has been captivating audiences with her sheer elegance and honesty in her folk-pop songwriting since the early '90s As documented on her last album, the 2010 two-disc retrospective Many Great Companions, Williams’ growth as an individual over her almost two-decade-long career has gone hand-in-hand with her evolution as an artist She has toured with such distinguished artists as Joan Baez, Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, and Shawn Colvin, and recently became a regular contributor to the Huffington Post's Green Blog A dedicated environmentalist, Williams toured throughout the northeast visiting children's camps and planting bee gardens in summer 2011   Williams has released one live album - Out There Live (2001); seven studio albums - The Honesty Room (1993), Mortal City (1996), End of the Summer (1997), The Green World (2000), The Beauty of the Rain (2003), My Better Self (2005), and Promised Land (2008); one live DVD - Live at Bearsville Theater (2007); and Many Great Companions (2010) In 1995, two years after self-releasing The Honesty Room, she signed with Razor & Tie Entertainment, beginning a relationship now in its 18th year]]>

Start Time(s):

     Zero Point Theater’s new staging of Merchant of Venice, while essentially true to Shakespeare’s text, is set   against the background of a Jazz/Blues World during Prohibition, in a Venice very like (but not) New Orleans      Antonio, our Merchant of “Venus” (one of Shakespeare’s many puns), is a rumrunner whose understanding of love is sadly warped by his mercantile nature He so monetizes love that he risks his very life borrowing from Shylock to provide money to Bassanio, who he achingly loves but, under the strictures of society, he can never have He even gives the money to Bassanio to woo a woman      Portia, whose own father did not see her as capable to choose her own mate, is one of the most brilliant people around She cares little about her wealth, her beauty and her sexiness except as tools She so desperately wants to be respected for her mind, in a world in which only men can be, that she risks exposure and ridicule by disguising herself as a man to argue law in the bright spotlight of the Venetian Court      Shylock is a black woman who owns a Speakeasy Jazz Club, and a devout Jew She struggles under both the disrespect of her white Christian competitors, and the pain of the hard choices, unfair deprivations, and compromises in her values she made to get where she is In her desire to ensure her daughter Jessica a better life than she herself had, Shylock so represses and keeps Jessica cloistered at home that Jessica elopes with a Christian, and a lot of Shylock’s money Shylock’s dogged insistence on a literal enforcement of Antonio’s bond in order to gain the respect of the law backfires, and leads to the loss of all she holds dear      Zero Point’s production of Merchant will challenge the audience to recognize and re-think its own perspectives on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and the us versus them struggles which either bind us together in a sense of security, or expose us to biting and lonely pain, and at worst threaten our sense of personal identity and value]]>

Start Time(s):

With their angst-filled hybrid of Van Morrison, the Band, and REM, Counting Crows became an overnight sensation in 1994 Only a year earlier, the band was a group of unknown musicians, filling in for the absent Van Morrison at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony; they were introduced by an enthusiastic Robbie Robertson Early in 1993, the band recorded their debut album, August and Everything After, with T-Bone Burnett Released the fall, it was a dark and somber record, driven by the morose lyrics and expressive vocals of Adam Duritz The only up-tempo song, "Mr Jones," became their ticket to stardom, and Counting Crows enjoyed a significant amount of success throughout the '90s and beyond]]>

Start Time(s):

Hip-hop is notorious for short-lived careers, but LL Cool J is the inevitable exception that proves the rule Releasing his first hit, "I Can't Live Without My Radio," in 1985 when he was just 17 years old, LL initially was a hard-hitting, streetwise b-boy with spare beats and ballistic rhymes He quickly developed an alternate style, a romantic -- and occasionally sappy -- lover's rap epitomized by his mainstream breakthrough single, "I Need Love" LL's first two albums, Radio and Bigger and Deffer, made him a star, but he strived for pop stardom a little too much on 1989's Walking With a Panther By 1990, his audience had declined somewhat, since his ballads and party raps were the opposite of the chaotic, edgy political hip-hop of Public Enemy or the gangsta rap of NWA, but he shot back to the top of the charts with Mama Said Knock You Out, which established him as one of hip-hop's genuine superstars By the mid-'90s, he had starred in his own television sitcom, In the House, appeared in several films, and had racked up two of his biggest singles with "Hey Lover" and "Doin' It" In short, he had proven that rappers could have long-term careers]]>

After disbanding the Police at the peak of their popularity in 1984, Sting quickly established himself as a viable solo artist, one obsessed with expanding the boundaries of pop music Sting incorporated heavy elements of jazz, classical, and worldbeat into his music, writing lyrics that were literate and self-consciously meaningful, and he was never afraid to emphasize this fact in the press For such unabashed ambition, he was equally loved and reviled, with supporters believing that he was at the forefront of literate, intelligent rock and his critics finding his entire body of work pompous Either way, Sting remained one of pop's biggest superstars for the first ten years of his solo career]]>

  "Nicky Park Memorial Park" is the story of a girl who knows all about what she's going to know before she knows it Coming of age in a world of Judy Blume novels and widespread transgression, she tries to navigate selfhood while battling a deep obsession with a boy who no longer exists As we travel through her mind, her world, and her headphones, we learn what a ghost can be--and what to do with one if we find it Amid a soundtrack filled with confusion and yearning, Nicky Park Memorial Park sends an honest, unsparing love letter to the 1990's--professing devotion, but also demanding an explanation This world-premiere production is brought to Boston by the young writing/creative team that took New York by storm last summer with their electro-dance interpretation of Gertrude Stein's opus, "Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights" at the 3LD Center This production is directed by Abby Colella, and features Sami Horneff, Ned Riseley, and Ellie Shepley  ]]>

Start Time(s):

It makes perfect sense that an anonymous online music fan has best described what rocker Chris Daughtry's Phoenix-like ascension means to the ever-evolving rock n' roll canon It's his intensity - notes the insightful blogger - a balm for an ailing industry, writing that Daughtry in a recording studio is akin "to putting a beat-up violin in the hands of a master" A "pure" and "soulful" balm, with even professional scribes concurring that "Daughtry dominates," according to USA Today "Homeboy loves to rock" crows Rolling Stone - but if the phenomenal impact and enduring legacy of the double-platinum-and-counting debut of Daughtry means anything, it's how enthusiastically the wandering music listener has embraced rock's new standard bearer]]>

 In the early fall of 1973 The Marshall Tucker Band was still a young and hungry group out to prove themselves every time they hit the stage Their debut album had already spawned numerous hits The band’s recent release of their Greatest Hits album, in traditional vinyl form, is a time capsule from that period “We were a bunch of young guys who didn’t know any boundaries” says founding member and longtime lead singer Doug Gray As it turned out, the collective talents of The Marshall Tucker Band took them very far indeed More than four decades later, the new vinyl Greatest Hits release takes us back to the early years of The Marshall Tucker Band, both literally and physically Still led today by founding member and lead singer Doug Gray, they represent a time and place in music that will never be duplicated Gray is quick to credit the band's current dynamic members with carrying on the timeless essence of the Marshall Tucker Band sound Current members include the highly respected drummer BB Borden, a former member of both Mother's Finest and The Outlaws, multi instrumentalist Marcus Henderson of Macon, Georgia, plays flute, saxophone and keyboards in addition to lead and background vocals, Pat Elwood on bass guitar, and Rick Willis on lead guitar and vocals, both of Spartanburg SC, are disciples of the Caldwell Brothers Acclaimed lead guitarist and vocalist Chris Hicks recently rejoined the band after a two-year absence Together they present a powerful stage presence as they continue to tour the country and continue to be powerful force in the world of music The Marshall Tucker Band got its start in Spartanburg, SC when Gray teamed up with Tommy Caldwell and Toy Caldwell, Paul T Riddle, George McCorkle and Jerry Eubanks, borrowing the name "Marshall Tucker" from a piano tuner whose name was found on a key ring in their old rehearsal space In 1972, they signed with Capricorn Records, the same label that guided The Allman Brothers Band, Wet Willie, and others to national fame The MTB opened shows for The Allman Brothers in 1973, and the following year, they began to headline their own shows across America due to the platinum-plus sales of their debut album They toured constantly playing sheds, stadiums, theaters, fairs, and festivals In years to come, The Marshall Tucker Band would wow critics and influence major country acts like Alabama, The Kentucky Headhunters, Confederate Railroad, and Travis Tritt with its definitive blend of rock, rhythm & blues, jazz, country, and gospel Now, thanks to the expanding scope of today's music, a new generation of fans is learning what the rest of their fans have known for so long- that good music knows no boundaries Along the way, the band has recorded twenty two studio albums, three DVDs, three live albums and many compilations]]>

Imagine a shrine for all great sayings, a Pop Psychology Hall of Fame if you will  On these special walls you'd find such stalwarts as "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger," "Tomorrow's Another Day" and "Everything Happens For A Reason"  Right over there the "Light At The End of The Tunnel" stands next to "The Great Unknown" Sure, these sayings are ubiquitous; repeated down through the ages as mantra for some, cliché for others  But now, after 20 years together, Barenaked Ladies are taking time to walk these halls and learn from another bon mot, All In Good Time Yes, All In Good Time is the name of the new album, the 11th from this Canadian institution, and their first as a new four-piece Fourteen bold and adventurous new tracks, recorded in Toronto in the spring and summer of 2009, find Ed Robertson (guitar/vocals), Jim Creeggan (bass/vocals), Kevin Hearn (keyboard/guitar/vocals) and Tyler Stewart  (drums/vocals) exploring a very creative and fertile phase of their careers]]>

Start Time(s):

 Like Patty Griffin before him, Howie Day emerged from the country quietude of Bangor, ME, into Boston's coffeehouse scene and the world of folk music, proving his talent on his first release, Australia Singer/songwriters come a dime a dozen, but the truly eloquent ones are priceless, and like Griffin, Day found a place in that lineage Born in 1981, Day started playing piano as a youngster and eventually took hold of a guitar when he was 14 By the next year, he had his first live gig at Captain Nick's Within another two years, Day was touring full-time in support of his independently released debut Citing the likes of Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, and Dave Matthews among his influences, Day incorporated these artists' defining characteristics into his style while still striking out an original sound Being without the resources of a major label's backing never hindered his touring schedule, as Day opened for everyone from the Wallflowers and Shawn Mullins to Remy Zero and David Gray He issued the Australia LP in 2000 through his own Daze imprint, and continued gigging relentlessly, both in Boston and beyond The strong word of mouth found its way to Sony, who put Day on the payroll and re-released a slightly cleaned-up Australia in June 2002 "Ghost" was a minor hit at modern rock radio, and the exposure only strengthened Day's college-age constituency The Madrigals EP appeared in April 2003; it featured demo and live material and acted as a setup man for Day's official Sony bow When Stop All the World Now appeared that October, it was an ambitious, richly produced record that revealed a newfound maturity in Day's voice and songwriting Singles like "Perfect Time of Day" and "Collide" did pretty well, and Day continued to tour in support of the album through 2005 Toward the end of that year he released the Live From EP Kelly McCartney, All Music Guide]]>
