Live Music Events

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

January 12

Dust off your fedoras for a quintuple-horned blast of retro big-band swing as BBVD delivers an infectiously groovy vibe that defies even the most tranquil audience member from leaping to his feet to jitterbug with his duchess.

The Devil Makes Three

January 15

The Devil Makes Three is a breath of fresh, American blues air. Laced with elements of ragtime, country, and folk, the critically praised trio brings a genuine approach to roots-rock. Their modern take on classic themes has won accolades from critics across the board, with NPR describing the trio as “acoustic roots music with a relentless beat in mind at all times,” going on to praise their “whiskey-drenched, ramshackle fury, and fiendish intensity.”

Ghost Light

January 19

From onstage “musical trust falls” to psychedelics and Soundgarden-inspired mixes in the studio, Ghost Light has emerged as the jam scene’s underdog supergroup. The alternative 4-piece band, Ghost Light, is building a name through a gracefully executed fusion of live instrumentals, cinematic percussive elements, and a powerful musical vision. Unafraid to embrace the unconventional, their music endeavors to bring listeners to a place of transcendence, through a melding of emotional devices.

Albert Lee

He’s won Grammy Awards, Guitar Player magazine’s Best Country Guitarist award five times in a row, honored at the U.K. Americana Awards with the Trailblazer Lifetime Achievement Award, and Eric Clapton has called him “the greatest guitarist in the world.”
