February 14. Marrakesh Express

Marrakesh Express is dedicated to playing the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and excels at reproducing their complex songs and cascading, layered harmonies.

Marrakesh Express upholds the integrity of that music with their vivid and realistic performance of CSNY’s most recognizable songs. Featuring four harmonizing vocalists backed by a top-flight band, they deliver a unique and energetic concert performing the classic CSNY hits, deep cuts, and fan favorites. A perfect night out for Valentine’s Day. 
Reserved seating is $23. Showtime is 7:30pm.

March 12 Gaelic Storm

With music “as Irish as Guinness,” according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Gaelic Storm wins over audiences with energy and broad appeal. Gaelic Storm's dynamic stage show features rousing, upbeat vocals, wild energetic dance tunes, haunting Celtic ballads, and infectious madcap humor. A night with Gaelic Storm will leave audiences on their feet reeling, dancing and screaming for more.
Reserved seating is $25 and $30. Showtime is 7:30 pm.

 

April 22 Leon Redbone

While his gravelly baritone and omnipresent fedora, dark glasses, and Groucho Marx mustache made him one of the more distinct and recognizable characters in popular music, little is known about the neo-vaudeville crooner Leon Redbone.

His work, a revival of pre-World War II ragtime, jazz, and blues sounds, recalls the work of performers ranging from Jelly Roll Morton and Bing Crosby to blackface star Emmett Miller. He made his recording debut in 1976 with On the Track, which featured legendary jazz violinist Joe Venuti as well as singer/songwriter Don McLean; his 1977 follow-up Double Time even reached the U.S. Top 40 charts, largely on the strength of his frequent appearances on television's Saturday Night Live.
Reserved seating is $23. Showtime is 7:30pm.
