SUMMARY:CANCELLED: SHENANDOAH
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED AND WILL NOW BE RESCHEDULED FOR A LATER DATE. When country music lovers talk about the greatest groups in the genre\, Shenandoah is always at the forefront of any discussion. Fueled by Marty Raybon’s distinctive vocals and the band’s skilled musicianship\, Shenandoah became well known for delivering such hits as “Two Dozen Roses”\, “Church on Cumberland Road” and “Next to You\, Next to Me” as well as such achingly beautiful classics as “I Want to be Loved Like That” and the Grammy winning “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart” duet with Alison Krauss. Today that legacy continues as original members Raybon and Mike McGuire reunite to launch a new chapter in Shenandoah’s storied career. Shenandoah has recorded nine studio albums (3 certified gold) and placed 26 singles on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. The boys from Muscle Shoals have left a potent legacy at country radio with over a dozen hit records.

SUMMARY:Rosanne Cash with John Leventhal
DESCRIPTION:Beloved singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash will play a concert featuring music from her acclaimed 2014 album The River & the Thread which garnered 3 Grammy awards in 2015. The recording includes eleven original songs written by Cash and her longtime collaborator—and husband—John Leventhal\, who also served as producer\, arranger\, and guitarist. The River & the Thread evokes the American South’s rich landscape—physical\, musical\, and emotional—and examines the indelible impressions it’s made on our collective culture and on Cash\, who was born in Memphis\, Tennessee. The songs portray a multigenerational cast of characters—from a Civil War soldier off to fight in Virginia\, to a New Deal-era farmer in Arkansas\, to a present-day couple in Alabama. While Cash and Leventhal were inspired by the many musical styles associated with the South—Delta blues\, gospel\, Appalachian folk\, country\, rock\, and others—the resulting collection of songs is contemporary. Cash\, who has just been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame\, has recorded fifteen albums and has charted twenty-one top forty country singles\, eleven of which reached number one. A Chicago Tribune reviewer describes Composed\, her 2010 memoir\, as “one of the best accounts of an American life you will likely ever read.”

SUMMARY:Andy Statman
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Jewish Cultural Studies Program at Monmouth University. \nHad there been a planetarium in 19th-century Galicia\, or a kosher deli in Depression-era Kentucky\, Andy Statman’s music might have been playing in the background. Meandering through time\, geography and\nculture in a few passionate\, organic gusts of music\, neither the man nor his inimitable hybrid sound has a very clearly defined “before” or “after.” Statman\, one of his generation’s premier mandolinists and clarinetists\, thinks of his compositions as “a spontaneous\, American-roots form of very personal\, prayerful Hasidic music\, by way of avant-garde jazz.” \nThis modest man takes for granted that a performer might embody several worlds in his art\, and seems not to recognize that his music\, like his story\, is extraordinary. It’s a story Statman rewrites with his trio every time they perform: “We’re creating an experience between the audience and us.” Statman performs his distinctive\, unconstrained meditations on jazz\, klezmer\, bluegrass and the human soul with bassist Jim Whitney and percussionist Larry Eagle. “At a certain point\, we’re just talking\, just having a threeway conversation.” This “conversation” changes each time they have it on stage\, no melody sounding quite the same as it did before\, and none bearing the definitive stamp of the genre that spawned it. A totally unselfconscious performer\, Statman does not mind that many audiences leave slightly befuddled as to what kind\nof music\, exactly\, they have just heard.
