From biting modernism to wartim e introspection\, this three-part series traces a musical and cultural evo lution\, exploring the rarely discussed Russian Avant-Garde of the early t wentieth century. \n\n\n\n\nLove and War begins with Prokofiev’s Piano S onata No. 1\, highlighting an early infatuation with Russian traditions in fluenced by his training at the St. Petersburg Conservatory under Nikolai Tcherepnin and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. \n\n\n\nProkofiev’s Piano Sonat a No. 2 was premiered in Moscow in 1914 with the composer at the piano. He dedicated the work to his friend and fellow student at the St. Petersburg Conservatory\, Maximilian Schmidthof\, who committed suicide in 1913. \n \n\n\nPiano Sonata No. 6\, the first of Prokofiev’s “War Sonatas\,” closes the evening. Written in 1939\, three years after his return to the Soviet Union\, Prokofiev’s No. 6 is driven by an undercurrent of unease that reflects on uncertainty and violence at the start of the Second World War. \n\n\n\nLove and War is  hosted by Tanya Landau\, PhD candidate in the department of Musicology at Northwestern University with opening remar ks from Nina Gurianova\, Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Slavic Languages at Northwestern University. \n\n\n\nProgra m\n\n\n\nSergei Prokofiev (1891-1953): Piano Sonata No. 1\, Op. 1Sergei Pr okofiev: Piano Sonata No. 2\, Op. 14Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 6\, Op. 82 \n\n\n\nArtists:  Adam Neiman\, piano\; Tanya Landau\, host\; Nin a Gurianova\, guest speaker LAST-MODIFIED:20260729T003527Z LOCATION:Guarneri Hall\, 11 East Adams\, 3rd Floor\, Chicago\, IL\, 60603\ , United States URL:https://guarnerihall.org/event/love-and-war/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Guarneri Hall X-SOURCE-URL:https://guarnerihall.org/events-calendar-guarneri-hall-presen ts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Irish Music Session DTSTART:20260916T003000Z DTEND:20260916T023000Z DTSTAMP:20260725T122049Z UID:pk61c1d3ddrvnpilkpt0kim6s1@google.com CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:Live Music\, no Cover!

From biting modernism to wartim e introspection\, this three-part series traces a musical and cultural evo lution\, exploring the rarely discussed Russian Avant-Garde of the early t wentieth century. \n\n\n\n\nFreedom and Irony reflects on the years surrou nding the Russian Revolution. As Prokofiev prepared to leave Russia in 191 8\, the visionary theater director Vsevolod Meyerhold gave him a copy of h is journal “The Love for Three Oranges\,” based on Carlo Gozzi’s fan tastical play. Prokofiev read it en route to the United States\, drawn to its blend of satire\, absurdity\, and fairy tale. This moment captures the tension between departure and connection. As Prokofiev left his country i n turmoil\, he carried with him artistic ties that would continue to shape his compositional style. \n\n\n\nA sense of displacement and evolving ide ntity echo across the evening’s programming. Known as the sonata “From Old Notebooks\,” the youthful volatility of Piano Sonata No. 3 is contr asted with the introspective\, shadowed character of Piano Sonata No. 4\, reflecting a composer grappling with memory\, loss\, and reinvention durin g exile. Decades later\, the explosive intensity of Piano Sonata No. 7 was forged under the pressures of Stalinist Russia and received the Stalin Pr ize. \n\n\n\nThe program will be hosted by Tanya Landau\, PhD candidate in the department of Musicology at Northwestern University with opening rema rks from Dassia N. Posner\, Associate Professor of Theatre and Slavic Lang uages and Literatures at Northwestern University. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nS ergei Prokofiev (1891-1953): Piano Sonata No. 3\, Op. 28Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 4\, Op. 29Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 7\, Op. 83 \ n\n\n\nArtists: Adam Neiman\, piano\; Tanya Landau\, host\; Dassia N.

From biting modernism to wartim e introspection\, this three-part series traces a musical and cultural evo lution\, exploring the rarely discussed Russian Avant-Garde of the early t wentieth century. \n\n\n\n\nEcho and Image concludes our series with Proko fiev’s Piano Sonata No. 5\, which stands apart as his only piano sonata composed entirely abroad. Prokofiev wrote No. 5 in 1923\, during his years touring internationally as a pianist and composer before returning to the Soviet Union despite the growing artistic censorship of Stalin’s regime .  \n\n\n\nIn contrast\, the expansive Piano Sonata No. 8 (1944) and the enigmatic Piano Sonata No. 9 (1947)\, both written after his return to the Soviet Union\, reveal a markedly different artistic landscape: more intro spective\, complex\, and shaped by the socio-political pressures of life b ack home. Together\, these three works trace Prokofiev’s life from exile to return\, as his compositional language and identity evolved in his fin al contributions to the piano sonata genre.  \n\n\n\nThe program will be hosted by Tanya Landau\, PhD candidate in the department of Musicology at Northwestern University with opening remarks from Inna Naroditskaya\, Prof essor of Musicology at Northwestern University. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nSer gei Prokofiev (1891-1953): Piano Sonata No. 5\, Op. 38Sergei Prokofiev: Pi ano Sonata No. 8\, Op. 84Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 9\, Op. 103 \n \n\n\nArtists: Adam Neiman\, piano\; Tanya Landau\, host\; Inna Naroditska ya\, guest speaker LAST-MODIFIED:20260729T003527Z LOCATION:Guarneri Hall\, 11 East Adams\, 3rd Floor\, Chicago\, IL\, 60603\ , United States URL:https://guarnerihall.org/event/echo-and-image/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Guarneri Hall X-SOURCE-URL:https://guarnerihall.org/events-calendar-guarneri-hall-presen ts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Irish Music Session DTSTART:20260930T003000Z DTEND:20260930T023000Z DTSTAMP:20260725T122049Z UID:pk61c1d3ddrvnpilkpt0kim6s1@google.com CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:Live Music\, no Cover!

Some artists spend ye ars trying to form a band and create their unique sound. Whether they are looking for a pianist\, background singer\, bass player\, or drummer\, the process can be frustrating and complicated. After all\, how can you be so sure you’ve found someone who not only compliments your musicianship\, but is also a fit with your personality? How do you place a want ad for ch emistry…or “harmony”? For the members of T.3 – Liam Fenneken\, Ji m Hogan and Brendan Jacob Smith – that search didn’t take years. They found each other thanks to their shared interests\, the power of social me dia…and eventually found their harmony thanks to a spontaneous decision to record in a stairwell. It’s one of those “lightning in a bottle” stories that can’t be explained using logic alone\, but the elements of synchronicity have helped them create something truly special. Liam and Jim met while attending Penn State University - Liam was a theater major a nd Jim was in the school’s musical theater program. Fast forward a few y ears\, and Jim and Liam met Brendan when they went to see Hyannis Sound pe rform\, Cape Cod’s professional a capella group. They clicked instantly\ , since Liam and Jim had performed with Hyannis Sound years before. All th ree eventually met up in New York City to sing together. Despite having a capella as a strong building block of the trio’s foundation\, it’s so mething upon which they are building. They’re not letting themselves be confined by the term\, instead exploring ways to add to the sound for whic h they are known. “We love a capella\, that's how we all met\, and it g reatly affects the way we arrange and perform our music together\,” says Liam. “Our goal is to bridge the gap between a capella and instrument-s upported vocal performance. We’ve been enjoying singing together and try ing to sing a little something for everyone\, and I think people appreciat e the authenticity of three dudes singing together because it’s fun and sounds good!” Having fun and finding what sounds good is how they becam e an unintentional trio. Upon meeting\, Brendan asked Jim and Liam to sing a song with him in his parents’ stairwell as something fun to put on th e internet. That first video of “Into the Unknown” went viral\, so the y decided to meet up again the next week. Except…COVID-19 struck and eve rything went into lockdown. Throughout the pandemic\, as millions of peop le learned the spirit of resilience in the face of tragedy\, Jim\, Liam an d Brendan leaned on each other. They found themselves diving into their mu sic\, their friendship\, and their routine. They forged ahead\, watching t he second video for “Defying Gravity” go viral\, as did the third\, a performance of “When the Party’s Over.” Each cover earned them more and more buzz\, with some videos reaching 250\,000 views and multiple exc eeding one million. As all of this was happening\, they didn’t have an o fficial name or the intention to turn it into something bigger. But for J im\, the fact that they stumbled on something so naturally–and effortles sly–only told them one thing: Keep going. “For me\, that organic qual ity is what makes us work so well\,” he says. “We just happened to be three high tenors who all have distinct solo voices and tones from our yea rs of training in different genres\, so our unique blend came to us much f aster than if we had started from zero. Luck meeting years of preparation and training led to us finding the T.3 magic.” That magic extends beyond T.3 in their individual careers as well\, as all three have been actively involved in performing on Broadway and various tours in the U.S.\, Canada and internationally. Brendan currently plays Art Garfunkel in the U.S./C anada Company of The Simon and Garfunkel Story and was recently seen as Ma lcolm McGregor in The Full Monty at North Shore Music Theater. Jim is a st andby for Buddy in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Kimberly Akimbo \, with additional Broadway national touring credits that include Waitress \, The Phantom of the Opera and Spring Awakening. Liam recently starred in Broadway’s Chicago as Amos Hart and has toured the U.S. and Korea in Sc hool of Rock\, in addition to Once\, American Idiot and Peter Pan 360. As time went on\, the group’s desire to ask what they could achieve togeth er led to a chapter on national TV. In 2021\, T.3 auditioned for Season 1 6 of America’s Got Talent with their rendition of “Into the Unknown\, ” from Frozen 2. In a video of the audition that\, on its own\, has garn ered more than 4.3 million views on YouTube\, the energy shift is visible the moment the members of T.3 sing their first note. The electrifying perf ormance led to the audience springing to their feet in a standing ovation that each of the four judges shared. T.3 made its way into America’s hom es all the way through the quarterfinals\, simultaneously creating a loyal following while catapulting them to semi-permanent viral status on social media. Collectively\, across Facebook\, YouTube\, Instagram and TikTok\, they are rapidly approaching one million social media followers. On TikTo k alone\, they have achieved more than 5.7 million likes. They release new videos constantly\, with song selections ranging from Disney to Broadway and pop\, even letting fans peek behind the curtain of their arrangements. That process is Brendan’s favorite part of being in the group. “The three of us sit around the piano and throw out ideas until the arrangement is finished\,” he says. “It’s a very creative and spur-of-the-momen t way of doing things\, but it keeps it fresh. It forces us to push oursel ves and do something new every single time.” In fact\, each chapter of T.3’s musical journey together leads to something different\, surprising and exhilarating\, something fans will be able to experience more in-pers on. In addition to the recent release of their first original song (and t he first with instrumental accompaniment) “Dilly Dilly\,” the group is planning the release of their first EP\, Option Up\, on December 8. To ce lebrate the EP\, T.3 will head out on an eight-city national tour Dec. 8-1 8\, where fans will be able to hear (and feel) this deep and dynamic music ianship. One thing is for sure: Fans will experience that vocal harmony f or which the group is known\, as well as the harmony between each member ’s individual roles of musician\, performer and songwriter.\nTicket URL: https://tickets.citywinery.com/event/t3-the-fifth-season-tour-brunch-t5ek dl LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T062031Z LOCATION:Main Stage\, City Winery Chicago\, 1200 W.

GRAMMY-winning trump eter Chris Botti has been one of the most popular instrumentalists in the world for nearly three decades\; he’s collaborated with some of the bigg est superstars on the planet\, including Sting\, Paul Simon\, Barbra Strei sand\, Lady Gaga\, Tony Bennett\, Frank Sinatra\, Aretha Franklin\, Bette Midler\, Joni Mitchell\, Steven Tyler\, Andrea Bocelli\, Herbie Hancock\, Yo-Yo Ma\, and others\; he’s topped the jazz charts with numerous albums \, earned multiple Gold and Platinum records\, performed with symphony orc hestras and on prestigious stages from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House. In short\, Chris Botti really needs no introdu ction. Yet with his Blue Note Records debut\, he’s offering one anyway. Vol.1 is in many ways a fresh start for the trumpeter. Having successfully crossed over from jazz renown to pop stardom\, Botti’s first album in m ore than a decade finds him crossing back\, with a small group project foc used on acoustic jazz and classic standards. “I turned 60 in 2022\, at a time that seemed like a restart for so many things in the world\,” Bott i says. “I wanted to strip away all the orchestral arrangements and spec ial guests and focus more on my playing\, the playing of my band\, and the se jazz classics that we always love playing on stage.” While Botti coul d boast of the major names with whom he’s shared stages\, this project a llows him to share his enthusiasm for the jazz greats past and present tha t excite him – his conversation is peppered with references to everyone from Miles Davis to Keith Jarrett to Pat Metheny to Brad Mehldau. He point s to landmark albums like Davis’ Kind of Blue\, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman\, or Metheny’s duo outing with Charlie Haden\, Beyond the Misso uri Sky as models for the kind of “lifestyle” music he set out to make – music that is exquisite on its own but can also set the scene for a c offee shop or hotel lounge\, instantly generating a sophisticated mood. Of course\, Botti couldn’t have found a more ideal home for this artistic rebirth. Blue Note has been a standard-bearer of jazz throughout its stori ed history\, and the trumpeter found a receptive partner in label presiden t Don Was. “Anyone that's lucky enough to say they're on Blue Note Recor ds should be pinching themselves\,” Botti says. “It's a fantastic hono r. I had great runs on Verve and Columbia\, so it’s amazing to now arriv e on the most famous traditional jazz record label.”\nTicket URL: https: //tickets.citywinery.com/event/chris-botti-jap0yu LAST-MODIFIED:20260816T001938Z LOCATION:Main Stage\, City Winery Chicago\, 1200 W.

Just last year\, the blues legend Ruthie Foste r took home her first-ever Grammy\, winning Best Contemporary Blues Album for her album Mileage. The award was a long time coming for the star\, who has been hustling to make a life as an artist possible for over three dec ades. Foster was first signed to a major label after completing her tour o f duty as part of the US Navy. She then abandoned music in 1993 to take ca re of her mom who had fallen ill. Shortly after her mother’s death\, the singer decided to find a path back to music as an independent artist. “I wrote this thing on a sticky note and it just said ‘Just say yes\, ’” she recalls. That little note-to-self stuck with Foster as she re-p ursued her dream. She has that sticky note to thank for all that’s come after\, so she’s honoring it with her latest album Just Say Yes (out Aug ust 28 via Sun Records). Ruthie reunited with her Mileage collaborators T yler Bryant and Rebecca Lovell (of Larkin Poe) in Nashville\, working out of Bryant’s new studio. This time around\, Larkin Poe collaborator Megan Lovell joined them in the studio as well as Megan’s husband Mike Seal. “Every last one of these songs are about some aspect of my life\,” Fo ster explains. “This was my way of being true to who I am and knowing th at I’m in yet another transition in my life\, which is how these albums tend to happen.”\nTicket URL: https://tickets.citywinery.com/event/ruthi e-foster-rkkr03 LAST-MODIFIED:20260817T062817Z LOCATION:Main Stage\, City Winery Chicago\, 1200 W.

After 55 years on the local blues scene\, Tillmon serves up the blues a nd soul standards that people never seem to stop craving\, his rich vocals and fluid guitar backed by a band that keeps his grooves tight and right. \nBorn Moses Tillmon in rural Jefferson County\, Georgia\, Smiley grew up on a hearty musical diet of gospel\, country\, and a little blues. His mo ther moved to Fort Lauderdale when he was ten\; there he was exposed to ca lypso music\, adding up to a singular list of influences. Tillmon took up guitar and was good enough by the dawn of the ‘60s to back Miami R&B sin ger Billy Miranda in the studio. He joined Sammy Ambrose & the Afro-Beats\ , a calypso-oriented band\, touring from Canada to New York. Smiley bid th e Afro-Beats adieu in 1962 and moved to Chicago. There he established hims elf on the blues circuit\, playing with Billy “The Kid” Emerson\, Deni se LaSalle\, and other South Side luminaries until he opted for a day job in 1977. \nUpon his 2007 retirement\, Smiley reverted to full-time musical status. He joined forces with bassist Tom Rezetko\, and they’ve been in separable onstage ever since. Kate Moss shares guitar duties with Tillmon\ ; married to another blues guitar standout\, Nick Moss\, Kate’s sound is heavily influenced by Freddie King and Magic Sam (she fell in love with t he blues at age 21 when she met Buddy Guy\, and she’s shared stages with Buddy\, Jimmy Johnson\, Eddie Shaw\, and Lurrie Bell\, to name just a few ). Drummer George Baumann completes one of the Windy City’s toughest blu es combos\, one that’ll keep you smiling from ear to ear.   – Bill Da hl \n\n  \nABOUT BILLY FLYNN \n\nBilly Flynn has a long and storied histo ry playing Chicago blues.

Born in Philadelphia Vivian Green was raised in a home where Motown classics were always blaring. Her parents were avid mu sic lovers with talents of their own. Her mother sang and her father\, an engineer\, played the trumpet. She began singing at age five\, started pla ying piano by eight\, and by eleven began writing songs. She knew by age t hirteen\, that she wanted to sing professionally. She honed her craft at t he piano everyday after school\, writing mature love songs far beyond her years. At fifteen she began to record at multi-platinum group Boyz II Men ’s studio. This gave Green a taste of life as an artist and led to an op portunity to write with the band. At seventeen she received her first prof essional songwriting credit co-writing the song “Dear God” on their pl atinum selling album Evolution. Green was also offered a recording contrac t from Ruffhouse Columbia\, but her protective parents felt she wasn’t r eady. Determined to be a recording artist\, Green continued to record rel entlessly. Her mature\, sultry voice and knowledge of material allowed her to sing in some of Philadelphia’s premiere jazz clubs despite her age. She also obtained a job singing with two of the top party orchestras in Ph iladelphia. Additionally\, Green sang background for renown soul singer/ac tress Jill Scott.

Born in Philadelphia Vivian Green was raised in a home where Motown classics were always blaring. Her parents were avid mu sic lovers with talents of their own. Her mother sang and her father\, an engineer\, played the trumpet. She began singing at age five\, started pla ying piano by eight\, and by eleven began writing songs. She knew by age t hirteen\, that she wanted to sing professionally. She honed her craft at t he piano everyday after school\, writing mature love songs far beyond her years. At fifteen she began to record at multi-platinum group Boyz II Men ’s studio. This gave Green a taste of life as an artist and led to an op portunity to write with the band. At seventeen she received her first prof essional songwriting credit co-writing the song “Dear God” on their pl atinum selling album Evolution. Green was also offered a recording contrac t from Ruffhouse Columbia\, but her protective parents felt she wasn’t r eady. Determined to be a recording artist\, Green continued to record rel entlessly. Her mature\, sultry voice and knowledge of material allowed her to sing in some of Philadelphia’s premiere jazz clubs despite her age. She also obtained a job singing with two of the top party orchestras in Ph iladelphia. Additionally\, Green sang background for renown soul singer/ac tress Jill Scott. Green teamed up with Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Eric Roberson to create the demo that would win her a deal with Sony Musi c. The demo contained her first smash hit “Emotional Roller coaster”.

In 1981\, Nelson was recognized by world renowned B eatles producer Sir George Martin whom\, while producing ‘Time Exposure ’\, chose Nelson to record lead vocals on two of the band’s biggest hi ts\, “The Night Owls” and “Take It Easy On Me.” Later that same ye ar guitarist extraordinaire Stephen Housden joined LRB bringing a rock ele ment into the band’s sound and helped contribute to their string of Top 10 hits.

For this reinterpretation of the 1960 classic recording\, CJP artistic director an d composer Orbert Davis created two additional compositions\, incorporatin g traditional African and Middle Eastern instruments and making modificati ons to the ensemble orchestration. These intimate yet powerful concerts wi ll transport audiences to a different world. \nOrbert Davis’s involvemen t with Sketches of Spain began in the 1990’s when\, as a trumpeter in Bi ll Russo’s Chicago Jazz Ensemble\, he was asked to perform the solo trum pet part originally played by Miles Davis (no relation). A particular chal lenge was to disregard the expectations of some purists that the original performance would be re-created. “However\,” Orbert notes\, “What Mi les played is not intended to be duplicated. Miles reached past the techni cal aspects of his instrument and played from the depths of his soul. I to ok that approach to freely create during the improvised sections.” \nOrb ert Davis’s version of the classic work developed over many subsequent p erformances and years of studying the original recording\, as well as Span ish music and culture. From the first performance with his own Chicago Jaz z Philharmonic in 2011\, Orbert introduced new elements reflecting Moorish influences on Spanish culture along with infectious jazz grooves and high lighted the unique talents of individual musicians in his ensemble. \nPURC HASE TICKETS HERE LAST-MODIFIED:20260822T003428Z LOCATION:Baffes Theatre at Beverly Arts center\, 2407 W 111th St\, Chicago \, IL\, 60605\, United States URL:https://thebeverlyartscenter.com/event/chicago-jazz-philharmonic-orber t-davis-sketches-of-spain-revisited/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Beverly Arts Center X-SOURCE-URL:https://beverlyartcenter.org/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Joshua Radin with Raye Zaragoza DTSTART:20261108T013000Z DTEND:20261108T043000Z DTSTAMP:20260830T061725Z UID:69ab22e3bac447835ecb7d65 CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:City Winery Chicago Presents Joshua Radin with Raye Zaragoza l ive on Saturday\, November 7th at 7:30 PM!

For three decades\, The Mavericks carved out their Grammy-winning sound — a multicultural version of American roots music\, blending stateside influences like country and rock & roll with th e border-crossing textures of Cuban grooves\, Tex-Mex twang\, and Latin sw agger — under the direction of Raul Malo. Raul wasn’t just the band’ s frontman\; he was its larger-than-life patriarch\, with a booming barito ne hailed by Rolling Stone as “operatic\, spiritual\, casually elegant\, and wholly captivating.” With help from musicians like Paul Deakin\, Ro bert Reynolds\, Eddie Perez\, and Jerry Dale McFadden\, Malo turned The Ma vericks into modern-day legends on their own terms\, enjoying mainstream s uccess during the 1990s (when songs like “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Do wn” became staples on country radio) before reinventing themselves as ge nre-bending independents during the 2010s and beyond. \n“Raul was one of those fine-wine singers\,” says Deakin\, who co-founded the band in 198 9 in Miami\, Florida. “His voice was ridiculously powerful when we first started\, and it just got better with age.” \nA battle with cancer forc ed Raul off the road in 2025\, but his musical influence remained. During his final hours on earth\, he watched from afar as his bandmates played th e Ryman Auditorium\, honoring the man and his melodies with help from gues t singers\, family members\, and a sold-out crowd. This was more than a co ncert\; it was a celebration of the legacy the Mavericks had built togethe r\, highlighting the staying power of lifelong friendships and great songs . “Raul used to tell me that every time we released new music\, it didn ’t belong to us anymore\; it belonged to the fans\,”remembers Perez\, whose guitar playing became an integral part of The Mavericks’ sound dur ing their 21st century reunion. “To me\, the band has always transcended the people in it. It’s more about the feeling\, the vibe\, and the high -energy entertainment we give people. We want to continue giving that spir it to our fans.” \nGreat songs endure\, even when their original vocalis ts are no longer here to sing them. There’s no replacing a once-in-agene ration talent like Raul Malo\, but there is a way to honor the music he le ft behind. That’s why The Mavericks are returning to the road\, performi ng classics like “Come Unto Me\,” “Back In Your Arms Again\,” and “As Long As There’s Loving Tonight” for the fans who helped make tho se songs legendary. Presented as “The Mavericks & Friends\,” these all -star shows will feature a decade-spanning version of the band\, along wit h guest singers like Emily West and James\nOtto. \n“It’s not just a co ntinuation of The Mavericks\; it’s a moving musical art piece\, from one show to the next\,” Perez explains. “James and Emily can sing these s ongs with passion\, spirit\, and energy\, because they love this music as much as we do. We might have different guests join us throughout the tour. People who love these songs just as much as we do. Maybe we’ll have a s oul singer one night. Maybe we’ll get somebody from the rockabilly scene . Each show in each city will be different\, and that’s part of the adve nture.” \nThat adventure has brought different eras of the band together . After a 10 year absence\, bass player Robert Reynolds is back in the lin eup — a move that not only restores the group’s original rhythm sectio n\, but helps bridge the gap between past and present\, too. “In this in carnation of The Mavericks\, we can celebrate across a wide arc of the ban d’s music\,” Reynolds says. “We can honor Raul by looking at all the songs he wrote\, including the early ones. It all becomes relevant again — and for the fans\, this is a chance to see a full retrospective that c uts across the entire catalog.” \n“Raul would always write our setlist \, and it would be different every night\,” remembers Jerry Dale McFadde n\, the band’s keyboardist since 1994. “We have a lot of material to c hoose from. We released 8 records during the past 13 years alone\, and tha t means our shows can all be a little different. They always have been.” \nThe world looks different than it did in 1989\, when The Mavericks laun ched their career in the punk bars and rock clubs of Miami. Decades have p assed and trends have shifted\, but The Mavericks have endured. Now\, they ’ve found a new path forward as The Mavericks & Friends\, honoring their beloved Raul Malo while building upon the legacy he helped create.

And she did\, unden iably taking the industry and fans by storm with her wildly successful mul tiplatinum international debut “Did I Shave My Legs For This?” more tw o decades ago. Anchored by the dreamy super hit ” Strawberry Wine”\, C arter showcased her own blend of country and retrorock sprinkled with the folksy singer/songwriter qualities that have garnered Deana Carter well de served respect and wild acclaim. \nWith EIGHT albums under her belt\, Cart er explores many subjects commonly shared over a quaint dinner\, afternoon coffee or a sunny day hike with a good friend. Her last release of Southe rn Way of Life was her first dive as Label CEO on her own Little Nugget Re cords\, distributed by Sony/Red. These songs weave through the sometimes r ocky terrain of adulthood\, including loss of love\, relationships on many different levels\, trials\, tribulations and simply put – life. As alwa ys\, Instinctively autobiographical\, the subject matter mimics the intere sting ride of Carter’s own life – so far. The daughter of famed studio guitarist and producer Fred Carter\, Jr.\, Deana grew up exposed to the w ide variety of musicians her father worked with\, including Willie Nelson\ , Bob Dylan\, Waylon Jennings\, Simon & Garfunkel\, Muddy Waters\, Dolly P arton\, and many more. Their strong influence would eventually seep into D eana’s own country-pop style\, which reflects qualities that can also be heard in similar artists now\, such as Miranda Lambert and reflective of artists like Sheryl Crow. Developing her songwriting skills by trial and e rror at writer’s nights throughout Nashville\, Carter eventually signed a writing deal with Polygram and soon after a record deal with Capitol Rec ords. One of her demo tapes happened to fall into the hands of none other than Willie Nelson\, who remembered Deana as a child. Impressed with how s he’d grown as a songwriter\, Nelson asked Deana to perform along with Jo hn Mellencamp\, Kris Kristofferson and Neil Young as the only female solo artist to appear at Farm Aid VII in 1994. Her debut album\, “Did I Shave My Legs For This?” boasts six songs co-written and with the album co-pr oduced by Carter\, was released to strong reviews in late summer 1996. By the end of the year\, the record had climbed to the top of both the countr y and pop charts\, quickly achieving multi-platinum status\, with 3 number one singles in a row. A “first” for the genre\, Deana’s celebrated debut album held this distinction and many ground breaking achievements fo r more than 5 years and has become one of Country Music’s most treasured classics of the 90’s. “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” followed in late 1998 and in 2001\nCarter realized her dream of performing with her d ad on an intimate holiday album\, aptly titled “Father Christmas.” Mak ing a strong move towards adult pop Carter released “I’m Just a Girl ” on Arista Records in 2003\, the same year Capitol Records released a G reatest Hits compilation. Follow-ups “The Story of My Life” in 2005 an d “The Chain” in 2007 were both released on Vanguard Records. In an ef fort to pay homage to her musical roots and preserve her legendary father ’s label Nugget Records\, that famously presented some of the best in co untry music some 40 years ago\, Carter opened her own label\, Little Nugge t Records\, on which her latest album “Southern Way of Life” was relea sed. \nCarter now divides her time between Los Angeles\, Florida and Nashv ille\, writing and producing for both the pop/rock and country markets whe n not on the road touring or making movies. Her superstar success continue s to be evident as the chart topper “You & Tequila”\, co-written with Matraca Berg and recorded by Kenny Chesney\, was nominated as CMA’s “S ong of the Year”\, as well as two Grammy nods\, notable the coveted “S ong of the Year” \, and\, also\, received a nomination as ACM’s “Son g of the Year”. You and Tequila received a coveted ‘Songs I Wished I ’d Written’ by the NSAI in Nashville\, something Deana treasures\, com ing from her hometown music community. Carter also co-wrote and produced a n album for recording artist Audra Mae & the Almighty Sound\, while puttin g the finishing touches on her own “Southern Way of Life.” She has rec ently held a Governor’s seat on the Grammy Board for the Recording Acade my and served on the Producer’s & Engineer’s Wing\, The Membership Com mittee\, & held an active voice for Artists & Creators with Advocacy in Wa shington\, D. C. & throughout the last year for Pandemic Relief. Singer\, songwriter\, producer – Deana Carter continues to defy conventional expe ctations\, making waves as she makes great music\, tours\, & makes movies.
