SUMMARY:The 27 Club
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\n\nThe 27 Club presented by the Six String Society brings to life the legendary music & stories of Rock & Roll’s most infamous club. A club in which all the members share at least one thing in common; they all died tragically at the age of 27. People have wondered if they were ever all together and with the power of the audience’s imagination this occurs one evening in a mythical Greenwich Village apartment (circa 1969) the night before Woodstock. The candles burn late into the evening as these iconic figures begin to descend into the ‘Living Room.’ As the evening progresses\, each icon performs their timeless songs with our signature group jam for the ages. Our All Star cast includes Whitney Shay (as Amy Winehouse)\, Lauren Leigh Martin (as Janis Joplin)\, Trevor James (as Jimi Hendrix)\, Tony Suraci (as Jim Morrison)\, Austin David (as Kurt Cobain)\, & Robin Henkel (as the spirit of Robert Johnson.) Additionally\, this production will feature BMA (Blues Music Awards) winner Ms. Laura Chavez on guitar. After making its debut at the legendary Belly Up Tavern on July 10th\, 2016\, The 27 Club production has consistently sold out performances in performing art centers\, prominent music venues\, Nevada casinos & music festivals. So come see this magical production come to life at the Center Theater on November 29th. We will leave the light on for U!

SUMMARY:Lake Street Dive
DESCRIPTION:Lake Street Dive have pushed the possibilities of pop music as a unifying force\, not only through their eclectic sound—a boldly original cross-pollination of soul\, folk\, jazz\, classic pop\, and more—the five-piece’s all-embracing ethos has also made them a beloved live band known for building a potent connection among every crowd. \nIn the making of their new album Good Together\, vocalist Rachael Price\, bassist/background vocalist Bridget Kearney\, drummer/background vocalist Mike Calabrese\, keyboardist/vocalist Akie Bermiss\, and guitarist/background vocalist James Cornelison reinforced the deep sense of purpose behind their output\, often turning their attention to the many factors driving us apart today (e.g.\, unchecked technological growth\, culturally imposed isolation\, the cult of relentless self-optimization). Born from a mindset they refer to as “joyful rebellion\,” Good Together arrives as a body of work both gloriously defiant and primed to inspire unbridled dancing and ecstatic singing-along. \nLake Street Dive continue to fully embody the effusive sense of togetherness and mutual care embraced throughout Good Together. “At this point our tastes in music differ more than they ever have\, but we’re still able to bring all those influences together with a real love and respect for the diversity within the band\,” says Price. “I think the main thing that’s kept us going over the years is that very strong foundation of friendship—everyone has a voice\, everyone gets heard\, and we’re all really careful about looking out for each other’s happiness.”

SUMMARY:Switchfoot Bro-Am Benefit
DESCRIPTION:What if we could bring together friends from the surf industry and the music industry for a charity surf contest that raised funds for kids in need? What if we gave a free concert on the beach? What if we used our stage to let homeless and at-risk youth know that their stories are powerful – as powerful as the music we play every night? We wanted to celebrate the tenacity of the journey they are taking\, and invest in their futures. \nThat’s how the Bro-Am was born. Twenty years later\, our idea has grown into two iconic San Diego events – Bro-Am’s Benefit Party and Beach Fest. At the Benefit Party\, we gather 500+ industry leaders\, tastemakers\, influencers\, professional athletes\, musicians\, artists\, and philanthropists for a fundraising event like none other.  At the Beach Fest\, over 15\,000 people come together for an empowering community movement of giving through a day of surf\, food\, live music and fun.

SUMMARY:Lyle Lovett and his Large Band
DESCRIPTION:The Lyle Lovett Show scheduled for The Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles This Friday\, June 20 will go on as planned. Please note the important Downtown LA Temporary Late-Night Curfew information below: \nThis is an important notice regarding the Downtown LA curfew and upcoming shows at the Orpheum Theatre. A temporary late-night curfew has been put in place on a square-mile section of downtown Los Angeles from 8 pm to 6 am the following morning. The Orpheum Theatre is located within the affected section\, but city officials have granted some exceptions to performing arts venues which includes the Orpheum Theatre. \nWe are asking patrons to leave the theatre immediately after the show without lingering in the area and to make sure that you are in possession of your ticket (paper or digital) at all times if possible. We ask patrons to stay informed and keep up to date with current events. \n_________ \nA singer\, composer and actor\, Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums.  Coupled with his gift for storytelling\, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country\, swing\, jazz\, folk\, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers.  Lovett has appeared in 13 feature films\, and on stage and television.  Among his many accolades\, besides the four Grammy Awards\, he was given the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award\, and was recently named the Texas State Musician. \nGarden & Gun recently called Lovett “one of America’s most beloved singer/songwriters\,” and he was featured in the coveted “What I’ve Learned” column in the February 2012 issue of Esquire. \nLovett has been touring in support of Release Me since its release in February\, 2012. The album was #1 for several weeks on the Americana charts. Produced by Nathaniel Kunkel and Lovett\, Release Me represents the end of an era as it was his last record for Curb/Universal Music Group after being on the label for his entire career. Release Me is quintessential Lyle\, mixing a smart collection of originals and songs written by some of his favorite songwriters that show not only the breadth of this Texas legend’s deep talents\, but also the diversity of his influences\, making him one of the most infectious and fascinating musicians in popular music. \nSince his self-titled debut in 1986\, Lyle Lovett has evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers. His oeuvre\, rich and eclectic\, is one of the most beloved of any living artist working today.

SUMMARY:MATT VON RODERICK BAND
DESCRIPTION:Inhabiting the rarified air of innovative jazz trumpeter and heart-centered crooner\, Matt Von Roderick has been hailed as “a post-millennial Chet Baker” by the New York Times and “a top-drawer trumpeter who also sings like an angel obscured by a storm cloud” by JazzTimes Magazine. \nMatt’s uplifting message and poignant sound have been featured among the world’s most celebrated venues\, including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. If you can imagine a one-of-a-kind trumpet virtuosity paired with dreamy vocals\, deeply authentic jazz roots and soaring soundscapes\, you’re beginning to conjure the artistry of Matt Von Roderick. \nVon Roderick has enjoyed working with many of the most respected names in jazz and beyond\, including Brad Mehldau\, Kenny Werner\, Antonio Sanchez\, Chris Potter\, Neil Diamond\, Dionne Warwick and The Saturday Night Live Band. Von Roderick and his clarion tone have appeared in numerous film and television spots including SNL and The Ellen Show\, as well as at events with best-selling author and spiritual activist Marianne Williamson. Matt was named the 1st place winner of The Independent Music Awards Jazz Category as judged by progressive Rock icon Lou Reed\, awarded as finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition\, and was a recipient of the Vilar Global Fellowship\, dubbed the “Rhodes Scholarship” of the performing arts by The New York Times. \nVon Roderick often combines his classic\, lush tones with adventurous vocal/trumpet multiphonics\, a dash of loops and contemporary spoken word to create what the International Trumpet Guild calls “exquisite”\, while Downbeat Magazine describes his musical approach as being “Zen-like”. \nMatt Von Roderick prioritizes the spiritual aspects of music. He genuinely loves his audiences — it is his great joy to bring you joy.

SUMMARY:Tommy Castro and the Painkillers Closer to the Bone Tour
DESCRIPTION:Six String Society presents\nTommy Castro and the Painkillers Closer to the Bone Tour \nwith Special Guests Sue Palmer & Liz Ajuzie \nTickets: $38.40 – $102 including fees. No fees if purchased at the CCAE Box Office (face value $32 -$35). Front Row VIP tickets include pre-show Meet & Greet or pre-show VIP add-on can be added to any other ticket for $25. \nBorn in San Jose\, California in 1955\, Tommy Castro first picked up a guitar at age 10. He fell under the spell of six-string stars like Elvin Bishop\, Taj Mahal and Mike Bloomfield. Almost every major rock and soul act\, from Ike and Tina Turner to Janis Joplin to Tower Of Power\, toured through the area\, and Castro was at every show. He saw John Lee Hooker\, Albert King\, and Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at a local club\, JJ’s Blues Bar. Castro often jammed at JJ’s\, dreaming of busting out and making a name for himself. He created his own personal sound and style by mixing the blues\, R&B and funk music he loved into his own\, instantly recognizable brand of uplifting\, soul-healing music. \nAs his reputation spread\, Tommy played in several Bay Area bands\, quickly making a name for himself as a hotter-than-hot live artist bursting at the seams with talent. In 1985\, he became lead singer and guitarist for the regionally popular blues band NiteCry before joined popular Warner Brothers’ artists The Dynatones\, gigging all over the country. He formed the first Tommy Castro Band in 1992 and has not stopped touring since. In 1995\, soon after releasing their first album on Blind Pig Records\, The Tommy Castro Band were selected as the house band for three seasons on NBC Television’s Comedy Showcase (airing right after Saturday Night Live). The show brought Tommy in front of millions of viewers every week and cemented his reputation as a not-to-be-missed live performer. \nAfter a series of successful releases on the Blind Pig\, Telarc and 33rd Street labels\, Tommy Castro joined Alligator Records in 2009. His label debut\, Hard Believer\, launched to massive popular and critical acclaim. 2011 saw the release of the raucous Tommy Castro Presents The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Revue—Live!. In 2014\, Castro & The Painkillers released The Devil You Know\, followed by Method To My Madness in 2015\, Stompin’ Ground in 2017\, and the irresistible Killin’ It—Live in 2019. With 2021’s A Bluesman Came To Town\, Castro told the story of a young musician’s journey through the blues world. AllMusic said the album was “a towering achievement.” \nCastro received his fourth prestigious and coveted Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year in 2023. He’s taken home a total of 10 Blues Music Awards and is among the genre’s most decorated artists. Castro’s relentless road-dog approach—gig after gig\, 150 nights a year—continues to earn him loyal\, lifelong fans everywhere he plays. The Washington Post says Castro is “phenomenal and funky” with “soulful vocals and inspired blues guitar.” Famed guitarist Joe Bonamassa says\, “Tommy has always been top of the heap among blues guitar players. He always puts on a great show.” \nTommy Castro & The Painkillers’ deceptively simple approach on Closer To The Bone delivers one thrilling performance after another. Says Castro\, “Here\, I’m not the contemporary guy\, not the rock guy\, not the soul guy. This is the deeper blues side of me. I know\, with these songs\, I am at my most authentic.”

SUMMARY:Valerie June
DESCRIPTION:The latest full-length from Valerie June\, The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers emerged from a long-awaited revelation on the part of the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter. “With this record\, it finally became clear why I have this dream of making music\,” June says of her third album for Fantasy Records. “It’s not for earthly reasons of wanting to be awarded or to win anybody’s love—it’s because dreaming keeps me inquisitive and keeps me on that path of learning what I have to share with the world. I think when we allow ourselves to dream like we did when we were kids\, it ignites the light that we all have within us\, and helps us to have a sort of magic about the way we live.”
