TOM RUSH

Avalon Theatre
40 E. Dover St.
Easton, MD Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer, whose shows offer a musical celebration…a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. 
Rush’s music has left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influences.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences. Rush’s distinctive guitar style, wry humor, and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads, and the passion of gritty blues.

WALTER PARKS with VIVIAN SESSOMS 
Stoltz Listening Room @ The Avalon
40 E. Dover St.
Easton, MD 21601
Walter Parks has created a secular show of reimagined southern hymns, spirituals, work songs and the songs they’ve inspired. Walter is joined by Vivian Sessoms to celebrate harmony across cultural lines through this very powerful and beautiful folk music and by telling stories that pertain to songs by black and white musicians, songs and stories that exemplify the soundtrack to how our country was built. As part of the show, Walter has also arranged some of the swamp hollers that originally served as a means of communication in the late 1800s/early 1900s between families, farmers, and hunters who lived in the Okefinokee Swamp, near where he grew up, along with a few Richie Havens tributes and some originals.

LENA SEIKALY with STEVE HERBERMAN

The Tapestry Gallery

Royal Oak/Bellevue, MD 21662
Celebrating their brand new recording, "A Little Closer” -- a snapshot of the dynamic duo Lena Seikaly (vocals) and Steve Herberman (guitar), exploring favorites from their respective repertoires from the 1920s and '30s through the hard bop and bossa nova eras. LENA SEIKALY is a fresh voice on the national jazz scene from Washington, D.C. Named “one of Washington’s preeminent jazz singers” and “brightest voices in jazz” (The Washington Post), as well as a “major league young talent in jazz” by Duke Ellington’s biographer, Dr. John Hasse, Lena is already making her mark as both a revivalist of traditional jazz vocals, as well as an innovator in contemporary vocal jazz styles. Lena has been featured at the Monty Alexander Jazz Festival and as part of Carpe Diem's community concerts. Back by popular demand!
