SUMMARY:The Robert Cray Band - 2026 ALL AMPED UP Tour
DESCRIPTION:Blues icon. Soul man. Rock and roller. Robert Cray is all these things – and more. \nThe Georgia born\, Washington-raised musician first picked up a guitar after seeing The Beatles on TV then\, having witnessed Jimi Hendrix perform in Seattle\, determined that his destiny would also follow a similar path. And so he has: across the past half century Robert Cray’s developed into one of American music’s most singular artists. \n“I guess you’d have to say that we were lucky\,” reflects Cray on his life in music\, “because\, growing up in the 1960s\, the different music played on the radio really opened us up. I mean\, we even had Albert Collins play our high School graduation party.” \nFrom forming a teenage garage band\, through to striding the stage alongside several of the world’s greatest guitarists\, Robert Cray’s story is one of struggle and commitment. Struggle and commitment that led to Cray enjoying phenomenal success – selling millions of albums and countless concert tickets\, winning five Grammy Awards\, being inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame\, recipient of the Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award\, designing two signature model Fender guitars – yet for Robert what’s always mattered most is the music. Every note he plays counts\, every song he sings is delivered as if it is his last: integrity and intensity are what has guided Cray’s musical career. He has never cheapened his output or delivered a substandard performance. Indeed\, his commitment to making music of the highest standard has won Cray both a loyal audience and the respect of many of popular music’s most legendary figures. \nThink about it: Robert Cray has shared stage and/or studio with the likes of John Lee Hooker\, Muddy Waters\, B.B. King\, Buddy Guy\, Chuck Berry\, Albert Collins\, The Rolling Stones\, Eric Clapton\, Tina Turner\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, the Memphis Horns and Hi Rhythm Section. Cray’s stinging guitar playing and soulful voice\, his skills as a band leader and performer\, mark him as keeper of the flame for American roots music\, an artist who never fails to deliver. \n“We were so lucky just be able to see them\,” says Cray of trading guitar licks on stage with legends of blues\, rock and soul\, “let alone share the stage with them – what an experience!” \nCray’s rise to the top was\, like his music\, a slow burn\, he first building a following in small towns across the Pacific Northwest. Even before Cray had a record deal he enjoyed local hero status – so much so in 1978 he was cast (as a musician) in Animal House\, the blockbuster comedy that made John Belushi famous. 1978 was also the year Cray recorded his debut album\, Who’s Been Talkin’\, although Tomato Records’ internal problems held up Talkin’s release until 1980. And then\, just as Talkin’ was winning great reviews\, Tomato collapsed into bankruptcy. Got the blues? Young Robert certainly could have claimed he had them. But Cray isn’t given to complaining\, instead he persevered\, committed then\, as he is now\, to taking his music to the people. \nAfter Tomato\, Cray and his band – today consisting of Richard Cousins (bass guitar – there since high school days)\, Dover Weinberg (keyboards) and Les Falconer (drums) – used the momentum the album gave them to play further afield. By now Cray was buddies with a young guitarist from Texas: Stevie Ray Vaughan. \n“We played in 1979 at the San Francisco Blues Festival\,” recalls Cray\, “and I watched Stevie’s show and he’s just smoking. Afterwards Richard and I went up and chatted with him and we just hit it off. Stevie was great – if we were in Austin he’d always come and join us on stage.” \nSigning to Hightone\, Cray’s 1983 album Bad Influence established him internationally: he was invited to play Carnegie Hall\, toured Europe\, later finding Eric Clapton recording Bad Influence’s \ntitle track. 1985 saw Cray’s False Accusations album increase his standing as the foremost singer of blues noir songs\, while that year’s Showdown! – a sizzling collaboration with guitarists’ Albert Collins and Johnny Copeland – won Robert huge acclaim from blues musicians and fans: the new guy’s the real deal! Signing to Mercury Records\, Cray’s 1986 album Strong Persuader ensured he became the first blues/soul musician to breakthrough in the MTV era. \nStrong Persuader won Cray rave reviews from pop and rock critics\, topped charts worldwide\, saw Cray grace the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and winning the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Recording in 1988. Strong Persuader\, with its songs of infidelity\, guilt and unease\, while not in any sense conventional Top 40 music\, proved so strong an album it broke through barriers\, sold millions of copies and would prove extremely influential (2026 being the 40th anniversary.) Cray’s \nbreakthrough allowed both young and older blues and soul musicians to gain wide attention and radio play: John Lee Hooker’s career resurrection came soon after with The Healer\, and Robert plays on that seminal album. \n“It was great to be able to travel around the world\,” says Cray of Strong Persuader’s success. “It afforded us a lot of great opportunities that we were lucky to experience.” \nCray’s being modest here: suddenly he found himself the hottest guitarist working – Tina Turner invited Robert to support her huge European tour (every night\, after playing with his band\, Cray would join Tina on stage to play A Change Is Gonna Come)\, then Keith Richards called\, requesting Cray join the band backing Chuck Berry for Taylor Hackford’s celebratory feature length documentary Hail Hail Rock ‘N’ Roll. Here Cray not only got to play with the mercurial Berry (+Linda Ronstadt and Etta James\, amongst many notable artists)\, he also formed a friendship with Steve Jordan\, then drummer for the project and Richards’ solo band. \nNow internationally famous\, Cray found himself in intense demand: he toured with The Stones and played with B.B King\, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton. Headlining in noted music festivals – these included Glastonbury in the UK and Crossroads Guitar Festival in the US – and kept developing his sound over a selection of strong albums across the 1990s. Cray’s songwriting has addressed ageing\, love\, loneliness\, domestic turmoil and US politics. \nAs an artist Robert Cray’s aged like fine wine – his voice has developed a greater range and expressiveness\, this he’s put to use on masterful interpretations of such Southern soul standards as I Forgot To Be Your Lover (William Bell)\, Your Good Thing Is About To End (Mable John) and Nobody’s Fault But Mine (Otis Redding). At the same time\, Cray’s guitar playing now possesses an additional depth\, a growl that can hint at a caress then signal emotional upheaval. \nHis recent run of albums – 2014’s In My Soul\, 2017’s Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm and 2020’s masterful That’s What I Heard (all produced by Steve Jordan: now the Stones’ drummer) – are amongst the very finest he’s made. Every song here is deeply felt\, whether an agonised song of loss\, an angry protest number\, or a dance tune that gets audiences pumping (My Baby Likes To Boogaloo is great funky fun). \nAcross five decades Robert Cray has created a richly inclusive American music\, revitalising both blues and soul while rocking hard with the very best. To achieve 50 years in the music industry and still be as fresh and committed as when starting out is an achievement few can boast of but Cray can: he has released 19 studio albums\, every one replete with his extremely distinctive songs\, won five Grammy Awards and continues to make music that sounds like no one but Robert Cray. “All these years we have been fortunate to do what we love doing\, playing the music we love playing\,” says Cray with a smile. “I couldn’t ask for anything more. \nVIP Merchandise Package Includes:\n-Premium Concert Ticket\n-Exclusive T-shirt -Autographed 8×10 Photo\n-Exclusive VIP Merch Item

SUMMARY:David Wilcox
DESCRIPTION:There are songwriters who chronicle life; David Wilcox metabolizes it. \nHe has long been a quiet force in American folk music – a musician’s musician\, a writer’s writer\, and a seeker whose gift lies in making the personal feel universal. \nWith The Way I Tell the Story (2025)\, Wilcox proves that resilience isn’t just a survival skill—it’s an art form. The music he’s creating now comes from a place that can’t be faked. In recent years\, Wilcox’s life has been shaped by his wife’s Parkinson’s diagnosis\, redefining his sense of time\, love\, and presence. “Times get tough\, and music gets good\,” he says\, and means it. \nIn 1989\, Wilcox‘s How Did You Find Me Here became an unexpected hit\, selling over 100\,000 copies largely by word of mouth—an unheard-of feat for a debut folk record. Critics took note of his deft guitar work and emotional clarity\, but it was the unassuming wisdom threaded through his lyrics that truly set him apart. Rolling Stone praised his “soulful insight\,” while The New York Times called his music “a kind of open-hearted therapy.” \nA string of acclaimed albums refined his reputation as a songwriter who knows how to say hard things in soft\, lasting ways. Over the years he’s shared stages and collaborations with artists like Shawn Colvin\, Patty Larkin\, and John Gorka. Wilcox’s influence runs deep\, especially among younger artists trying to build something real\, and his music still resonates. His songs remain a rare kind of company. Not flashy. Just deeply\, generously alive.

SUMMARY:Top of The World - A Carpenters Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Top Of The World is The World’s Premiere Tribute to The Carpenters! \nFronted by singer Debbie Taylor\, her Karen Carpenter vocal resemblance is absolutely astonishing. She is backed by a seven piece band consisting of top-notch\, professional industry musicians who have had amazing careers in their own right. The band members are all multi-instrumentalists and at times use 3 keyboards to recreate the incredibly complex arrangements created by Richard Carpenter. The attention to detail paired with saxophone\, trumpet\, flute and many more instruments complete every song to perfection! \nThis show does not use tracks or pick up musicians like other shows. This is an 8 piece band that travels and performs all shows together. Additionally\, they have a multi-media slideshow which can be seen on their “Live Video” below. \nWho can forget the incomparable music of the Carpenters? The popular brother/sister duo of the 70’s and early 80’s gave us some of the most unforgettable ballads and melodic pop songs of all time. \nThis Carpenters Tribute Band brings the most authentic versions of the Carpenters music to the stage. No doubt\, you will be singing along as they perform hits like; “Close To You”\, “We’ve Only Just Begun”\, “Rainy Days And Mondays”\, “Please Mr. Postman” and “Yesterday Once More”\, to name a few. Debbie captures the warm tones and contralto range that made Karen’s voice so unique. Sit back and enjoy as Debbie and her band take you on a nostalgic journey through the Carpenters greatest hits while sharing some of the backstories behind the music.

SUMMARY:Club D’Elf
DESCRIPTION:What begins as a groove in Club d’Elf’s world often becomes a doorway into someplace older\, stranger and unshackled by time. \nThe band has spent twenty seven years helping audiences lose track of time with its shape-shifting fusion of Moroccan trance\, dub\, electronica\, jazz and improvised funk. Built around bassist and composer Mike Rivard\, each performance features a rotating cast drawn from Boston\, New York and beyond\, creating a constantly shifting ecosystem where trance forms the central core of the band’s aesthetic. Under longtime member and Casablanca native Brahim Fribgane\, the group absorbed Moroccan trance music deeply into its DNA. Fribgane passed away in early 2024\, but his spirit remains embedded in the band’s sound\, especially through Rivard’s commanding sintir work\, learned under the guidance of Fribgane and Gnawa masters Hassan Hakmoun and Mahmoud Guinia. \nTheir new album\, Loon and Thrush (due out 4/10/26)\, recorded entirely live in the studio with minimal overdubs\, channels that lineage into a raw\, improvisatory flight. While largely built on Rivard originals\, the album continues the band’s tradition of honoring key influences\, offering Moroccan-infused takes on Grateful Dead classics “Bird Song” and “New Speedway Boogie.” The overarching theme of the record is “flight” itself — the avian imagery of the title track\, the Dead’s celestial wanderings\, and the enduring presence of Fribgane\, whose spirit continues to guide the music from beyond.

SUMMARY:Ana Popovic with Danielle Miraglia
DESCRIPTION:“In the 25 years since the release of her debut record\, Hometown\, tail-gunning blues virtuoso\nAna Popovic has proved herself a force of nature with a vintage Stratin hand.” – Guitar World \n“Ana Popovic Melds Rock\, Blues\, and Jazz for Fiery Power” – No Depression \n“A badass with a silver Strat\, she performs the heck out of this song [“Worked Up”]\, owning it\nwith swagger and grace. … “Worked Up” captures her love of funky grooves plus the edginess\nof rocking guitar power. – Rock & Blues Muse \nLos Angeles-based and critically acclaimed guitarist and singer Ana Popovic is set to release her\nhighly anticipated album Dance To The Rhythm (Electric Heel Records) on September 26\, 2025.\nProduced by Popovic and Buthel\, the album showcases a groundbreaking fusion of groove\,\nblues\, funk\, and soul. \nBuilding on the success of her previous work\, Dance To The Rhythm pushes boundaries\,\nseamlessly blending infectious dance grooves (“Dance To The Rhythm” / “Sho Nuff”) with raw\nblues guitar and powerful lyrics. From the soulful “Soul’ution” to the funky “Hottest Ticket In\nTown” and the bluesy “Dwell On The Feeling”\, “California Chase\,” the album weaves a rich\ntapestry of musical styles\, reflecting Popovic’s masterful versatility. The track “Sisters and\nBrothers” channels a Steely Dan-like arrangement\, while “Hurt So Good” brings a contemporary\nmainstream flair. The ultimate jam comes in the form of a clever reimagining of Paul Simon’s\n“50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.” \nAna says: “One of my biggest strengths on stage is my ability to make people dance. Music\nshould take you to a place where you can let go\, feel the groove\, and move. You want music to\ngrab you\, to have a pocket that you can’t resist. —everything else revolves around it. Blues\nguitar has never really been part of dance music before\, and in that way\, it’s revolutionary. Guitar\nplays a central role in these tracks\, breaking down the boundaries created by time\, culture\, and\nmusical traditions. With this album\, I’m pushing those boundaries.” For Ana\, blues guitar is the\nfoundation of everything in her music. Yet\, she masterfully blends genres\, effortlessly shifting\nfrom blues to dance\, jam band\, funk\, pop\, and even gospel—it’s all part of her evolving sound.\nA true pioneer\, Ana combines her blues guitar roots with bold experimentation\, redefining the\nintersection of blues and dance music. Her live performances\, whether with her six-piece or\neleven-piece funk band FUNTASTAFUNK\, are electrifying\, blending fierce guitar work with\nirresistible rhythms that compel audiences to move. \nA multi-award-winning artist\, Popovic has earned recognition from major outlets and industry\nfigures\, including Bruce Springsteen\, who called her “one helluva guitar player.” She’s been\nnominated for seven Blues Music Awards\, and her latest album POWER hit #1 on the Billboard\nBlues Chart. Ana has shared stages with legends such as B.B. King\, Joe Bonamassa\, Warren\nHaynes\, Robert Plant\, and Gary Clark Jr.\, and is an endorsee of Fender\, D’Angelico\, Jim Dunlop\,\nand DR Strings. \nPopovic’s commitment to her craft and fearless boundary-pushing ensures she remains one of the\nmost dynamic forces in contemporary blues and beyond. \nDanielle Miraglia\nDanielle Miraglia (murr-Ä L e a) comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson\,an infectious stomp-box rhythm\, harmonica and tunes ranging from heart-felt to socially conscious that will move both your heart and hips.

SUMMARY:Avery\, Gottlieb & Rothko: By the Sea
DESCRIPTION:“Avery\, Gottlieb & Rothko: By the Sea” explores the artistic bond between three pivotal 20th century American artists—Milton Avery (1885–1965)\, Adolph Gottlieb (1903–1974)\, and Mark Rothko (1903-1970)—whose shared summers in Gloucester\, Massachusetts\, from the 1920s to the mid-1940s had a lasting impact on their work.

Many works in this exhibition have never been on public view. \nThis unprecedented exhibit\, accompanied by a 224-page catalog produced by Rizzoli Electa\, will reveal the deep connections between these artists\, emphasizing their roles as both mentors and peers\, while showcasing the unique working methods and lifelong friendships that shaped their groundbreaking art. The catalog\, in addition to including essays by Eliza Rathbone\, will also feature contributions by prominent art scholars and curators. \nOrganized for the Cape Ann Museum by guest curator\, Eliza Rathbone\, Chief Curator Emerita of The Phillips Collection in collaboration with The Phillips Collection\, Washington\, D.C.

SUMMARY:Flamenkora
DESCRIPTION:By sensitively and skillfully interweaving improvised trumpet and flamenco guitar with traditional mandinka kora and vocals from Senegal\, FlamenKora creates timeless and enchanting multicultural music; a welcome balm in these troubled times. Volker Goetze’s evocative trumpet lines dance gracefully with the soulful vocals and kora of his newest duo partner\, the esteemed master of traditional Mande music – Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko. Up-and-coming Rio de Janeiro and Madrid based flamenco guitar maestro Roberto Monteiro is the newest band member\, adding authentic Spanish flair with driving rhythms and subtle\, imaginative colors. As the group’s founder and producer\, Goetze brings a special wisdom to FlamenKora\, acquired not only through decades of devotion to West African Mande music\, but also through a deep mastery of jazz composition and arrangement and a recent deep dive into the melodic and rhythmic traditions of flamenco. In 2025 FlamenKora spent June in residence at the Manship Artists Residency\, developing new compositions and deepening the project’s fusion of flamenco\, kora traditions\, and jazz. \nAli Boulo Santo Cissoko kora\, vocals A virtuoso kora player\, singer and modern griot\, Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko carries forward the legacy of grandfather\, the legendary “King of the Kora\,” Soundioulou Cissokho. Renowned for his inventive style\, Cissoko seamlessly blends Mandingo traditions with Senegalese and Western influences\, creating thrilling music that is both timeless and innovative. He has collaborated with global luminaries such as Youssou N’Dour\, Angelique Kidjo\, Omar Sosa\, Tony Allen\, and Piers Faccini\, expanding the reach of the kora – enchanting sound. As a cultural ambassador\, Cissoko’s music preserves the rich oral traditions of the Mandingo people while pushing the boundaries of contemporary world music. “Ali Boulo Santo’s style of playing the kora is outstanding because of his perfect mastering of this ancient instrument as well as his willingness to innovate.” – Frank Bessman\, Musique Afrique \nVolker Goetze trumpet & flugelhorn An award-winning trumpeter\, composer\, and filmmaker\, Volker Goetze is celebrated for his ability to fuse jazz with global musical traditions\, creating transcendent works that promote cultural connectivity. His collaborations with Senegalese kora master Ablaye Cissoko—including the acclaimed album Sira and the documentary Griot—have been hailed as masterclasses in cross-cultural dialogue. Their album Amanke Dionti was named “Best World Music Album of 2012” by NPR’s The World and has garnered over 35 million streams worldwide. Goetze’s latest project\, Little Big Top (Motema\, 2024)\, is a collaborative journey with legendary accordionist\, Guy Klucevsek\, through musical landscapes where echoes of the ballroom\, barroom\, bordello\, circus\, and concert hall intermingle with jazz and folk from around the world. His prior release FlamenKora (2023)\, bridges West African kora\, Spanish flamenco\, and American jazz\, earning international acclaim and sold-out performances in Europe. A multimedia artist\, Goetze’s film “The Griot” and innovative his innovative Sonic Gates project in Staten Island\, New York —the city’s first Sound Sculpture Walk—are examples of his commitment to integrating music\, art\, and community. For more info\, visit volkergoetze.com . Volker Goetze has been traveling the world in search of that ecumenical sound ideal that enables him to play on all fronts and in all tones… to go even further and find a form of expression rooted in the soil of a people to make the colors even more vivid and shimmering. – RFI (Radio France International) \nROBERTO MONTEIRO flamenco guitar This rising guitarist born in 1987 in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, began his studies in classical guitar at the age of 16 at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, where he also studied flamenco guitar with Mara Lúcia Ribeiro (one of the first flamenco guitarists in Brazil\, a disciple of Entri de Cañorroto). From then on\, he dedicated himself entirely to flamenco accompanying famous dancers such as Carmen La Talegona\, Domingo and Inmaculada Ortega soon settling in Madrid\, formalizing his studies in flamenco guitar at the Arturo Soria Conservatory. He is currently working in tablaos in Madrid\, being the artistic director of Sala Temple; he accompanies renowned singers of the Spanish pop scene such as Lola Indigo\, María Pelae and Vicente Navarro and the dance company Matices. His participation in FlamenKora is a gift to all who have the chance to experience his moving and dedicated artistry. International Press Quotes: “This is beautiful\, reflective\, soulful music resulting from the confluence of their traditions… a delicate and exquisite work.” –London Jazz News (UK) “Magique ” –Jazz News. (FR) “Wonderously Playful” –NDR (DE) “An on-stage exchange imbued with grace and gentleness… The Senegalese singer’s songs complete this journey to the furthest reaches of serenity.” – Télérama (FR) “Flamenkora exudes a remarkable sense of cultural diversity… showcasing an uncanny ability to listen and respond to one another\, resulting in an exquisite musical beauty.” –JAZZIZ (US)
