SUMMARY:Michael Cleveland & Jason Carter
DESCRIPTION:With a combined 18 IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year awards\, these two phenoms have joined forces for a new duo project that is already taking the industry by storm. Their first single “Give It Away” reached #1 on Bluegrass Today’s charts\, and weeks after its release\, the duo received two standing ovations at the Grand Ole Opry (along with a quick invitation to return). From late-night jam sessions and unforgettable stage performances to recording on each other’s solo projects\, the idea of a joint collaboration began taking shape each time Carter and Cleveland visited. Michael Cleveland is a Grammy Award winner and NEA National Heritage Fellow who began playing professionally after high school with Dale Ann Bradley and Rhonda Vincent. He fronts the instrumental powerhouse Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper\, and has performed with Béla Fleck\, Tommy Emmanuel\, Billy Strings and Vince Gill\, among others. For over three decades\, Jason Carter has been a cornerstone of the bluegrass world\, serving as the fiddler for the renowned Del McCoury Band and as co-founder of the Travelin’ McCourys. Carter has won three Grammy Awards\, and has also recorded and performed with an impressive array of bluegrass and country music artists. In 2015\, the prolific fiddler and baritone’s name was added to The Country Music Highway in Eastern Kentucky\, alongside artists including Loretta Lynn\, Crystal Gayle and Chris Stapleton. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances at North Garden Assembly Room are made possible through support from the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.This performance is sponsored by Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum and Pamela & Peter VossThis performance is sponsored in part by David & Caroline Johnson

SUMMARY:Väsen + Hawktail / Darol Anger & Bruce Molsky
DESCRIPTION:Väsen + Hawktail is the culmination of decades of influence and musical relation. Brittany Haas\, Jordan Tice and Paul Kowert met while in college on the East Coast\, jamming on Väsen tunes and attending their concerts. These experiences proved highly formative to their musical identities. There’s a strong tie between their respective fiddle traditions and each band’s approach to tune-writing that makes this collaboration a natural fit. The opportunity to perform together is something that both bands have been looking forward to for years. “The members of Hawktail are brilliant musicians I met when they were teenagers coming to Väsen-gigs on our US tours.” says Väsen Nyckelharpa player\, Olov Johansson. “It’s been amazing to follow their path and now we get to create new Hawktail-Väsen music together!”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDarol Anger and Bruce Molsky have been musical explorers together for years\, sharing a creative universe that’s resulted in some epic collaborations\, including the Grammy-nominated Fiddlers Four (with Michael Doucet and Rushad Eggleston)\, crashing each other’s concerts and recordings\, and just finding big joy in playing together.

SUMMARY:Zydeco Dance Party: Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas
DESCRIPTION:For more than three decades\, Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas have toured extensively\, performing everywhere from local Louisiana spots to international stages\, with an ensemble that has always been a family affair. Bandleader Nathan Williams started his professional music career at 21\, recording singles for his brother’s El Sid label. Sid also opened a venue in Lafayette\, El-Sid-O’s\, where Nathan became a staple performer on Friday nights.

Nathan auditioned and secured a recording contract\, and in 1985\, he founded Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas\, inspired by a Chenier instrumental. The band debuted at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 1988. Their music blends zydeco\, jazz\, blues\, and R&B\, with most of the band’s original songs penned by Williams. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances at North Garden Assembly Room are made possible through support from the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.This performance is sponsored in part by Discover Black Savannah and Savannah/Hilton Head International AirportPartial support provided by South State Bank

SUMMARY:John Moreland
DESCRIPTION:Following an impressive run of albums in the 2010s that earned him a devoted fanbase\, accolades from outlets like The New York Times\, Fresh Air\, and Pitchfork\, and a place in the upper echelon of modern Americana singer-songwriters\, John Moreland recently took an entire year off from playing shows and didn’t use a smartphone for six months. After nearly a decade in the limelight\, constantly jostled by the expectations of his audience\, the music industry\, and anonymous strangers online\, he carved out some time to rest\, heal and reflect. The result of that unplugged year at home is the 2024 release Visitor\, a folk-rock record that is intimate\, immediate\, deeply thoughtful and extremely catchy. Moreland recorded the album at his home in Bixby\, Oklahoma\, in only ten days\, playing nearly every instrument himself as well as engineering and mixing the album. It is a return to the approach Moreland took on his breakthrough albums\, 2013’s In The Throes and 2015’s High On Tulsa Heat. On a musical level\, the result is a raw\, straightforward sound for which he has become known. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances in District Live are made possible through support from Plant Riverside District.This performance is sponsored by The Kennickell GroupThis performance is sponsored in part by Zachary H.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
DESCRIPTION:A Jason Isbell record always lands like a decoder ring in the ears and hearts of his audience\, a soundtrack to his world and magically to theirs\, too. Weathervanes carries the same revelatory power. This is a storyteller at the peak of his craft\, observing his fellow wanderers\, looking inside and trying to understand\, reducing a universe to four minutes. He shrinks life small enough to name the fear and then strip it away\, helping his listeners make sense of how two plus two stops equaling four once you reach a certain age—and carry a certain amount of scars. \n\n\n\n“There is something about boundaries on this record\,” Isbell says. “As you mature\, you still attempt to keep the ability to love somebody fully and completely while you’re growing into an adult and learning how to love yourself.” \n\n\n\nWeathervanes is a collection of grown-up songs: Songs about adult love\, about change\, about the danger of nostalgia and the interrogation of myths\, about cruelty and regret and redemption. Life and death songs played for and by grown ass people. Some will make you cry alone in your car and others will make you sing along with thousands of strangers in a big summer pavilion\, united in the great miracle of being alive. The record features the rolling thunder of Isbell’s fearsome 400 Unit\, who’ve earned a place in the rock ‘n’ roll cosmos alongside the greatest backing ensembles\, as powerful and essential to the storytelling as The E Street Band or the Wailers. \n\n\n\nThey make a big noise\, as Isbell puts it\, and he feels so comfortable letting them be a main prism through which much of the world hears his art. He can be private but with them behind him he transforms\, and there is a version of himself that can only exist in their presence. When he plays a solo show\, he is in charge of the entire complicated juggle. On stage with the 400 Unit\, he can be a guitar hero when he wants\, and a conductor when he wants\, and a smiling fan of the majesty of his bandmates when he wants to hang back and listen to the sound. \n\n\n\nThe roots of this record go back into the isolation of the pandemic and to Isbell’s recent time on the set as an actor on Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. There were guitars in his trailer and in his rented house and a lot of time to sit and think. The melancholy yet soaring track “King of Oklahoma” was written there. Isbell also watched the great director work\, saw the relationship between a clear vision and its execution\, and perhaps most important\, saw how even someone as decorated as Scorsese sought out and used his co-workers’ opinions. \n\n\n\n“It definitely helped when I got into the studio\,” Isbell says. “I had this reinvigorated sense of collaboration. You can have an idea and you can execute it and not compromise — and still listen to the other people in the room.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: this event has been rescheduled from the originally scheduled date and time. All tickets purchased for the original date are valid for the new date.
