SUMMARY:Leading Ladies of Liberty: Songs from the Lives and Legacies of America’s First Women
DESCRIPTION:Behind the political drama of the early American republic stood a circle of brilliant and influential women who shaped the nation’s cultural life through their intellect\, taste\, and artistic patronage. Leading Ladies of Liberty explores the musical lives of figures such as Martha Jefferson Randolph\, an accomplished keyboard player who helped shape the musical life of Monticello; Dolley Madison\, whose celebrated Washington gatherings reflected the cultural refinements expected of the new capital; and Elizabeth Monroe\, whose years in France exposed her to the fashionable artistic traditions she later helped introduce to American society. \nIn this America 250 anniversary year\, the program highlights the musical traditions of early American society and the important role music played in the salons and parlors where conversation\, culture\, and identity helped define the young republic. Through songs and instrumental works of the period\, the concert offers a glimpse into the musical world of America’s founding generation. \nThe performance features soprano Elissa Edwards\, Artist-in-Residence at the Hammond-Harwood House Museum\, joined by Wade Davis\, cello\, a featured soloist and chamber musician with many of the region’s leading early music ensembles\, and John Stowe\, organ\, former Professor of Organ and Harpsichord at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

SUMMARY:Nao Yoshioka
DESCRIPTION:A contemporary soul singer with a powerful voice and expressive skills refined in New York\, this artist blends a modern taste distinct from a laid-back style yet deeply rooted in history. Born in Japan and having moved to New York alone\, Nao’s encounter with soul music led to a pivotal moment where her heart synchronized with the Sam Cooke classic\, inspiring her to create music that resonates deeply with people’s emotions. Despite being Japanese\, she has a soulful voice reminiscent of Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston\, combined with a strength of character forged through life experiences as an outsider and overcoming adversities.

SUMMARY:The Samples w/ Kieran Lally
DESCRIPTION:38 years after starting his full-fledged music career with The Samples\, Sean Kelly continues to delight fans with music that transcends genres\, age\, and shatters the rules of the established music industry. Throughout his career\, Sean has been the driving influence of 20 albums and over 1 million records sold. \nSean started playing guitar at age 16 listening to Neil Young\, Rolling Stones and Jackson Browne. Those influences mixed with his own poignant and timeless lyrics\, a unique and striking voice and a mind for melodies led to songs like Little Silver Ring\, Feel Us Shaking and Wild River. For many fans\, these aren’t new songs or old songs\, but anthems to their lives that represent the first time they met their wife or the joys of their times at college. \nSean’s journeys across America have taken place in rental cars\, tour buses and pickup trucks that would have literally taken him to the moon and back over the last quarter of a century. There is a lot of music in store from Sean Kelly and The Samples.

SUMMARY:Pablo Cruise
DESCRIPTION:In 1975\, Pablo Cruise released its first A&M album simply entitled Pablo Cruise. The album cover was shot in the tropical gardens of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park\, and it featured a huge gorilla standing front and center. The band\, David Jenkins (guitars\, vocals)\, Cory Lerios(keyboards\, vocals)\, Bud Cockerel (bass\, vocals)\, and Steve Price (drums\, percussion) were nowhere in sight. At that point\, there was a bit of a mystique surrounding Pablo Cruise\, and when asked what Pablo Cruise meant\, the well-rehearsed answer went something like this: “Pablo” represents an honest\, real\, down-to-earth individual\, and “Cruise” depicts his fun-loving\, easy-going attitude towards life. In essence\, that’s what Pablo Cruise music is all about. Honest\, real down-to-earth vocals\, accompanied by fun yet elegant\, infectious grooves. To hear Pablo Cruise on record is one thing\, but to experience the band live is an exhilarating event!
