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.

SUMMARY:Anda Union
DESCRIPTION:As with all nomads\, the Mongols have an oral culture\, passed on through generations in stories\, music and songs\, and thus Anda Union sings their history. The band’s thoroughly addictive combination of Mongolian musical styles is a reflection of their roots. Formed in 2000\, Anda Union has influenced a generation of young Mongolians in Inner Mongolia as traditional music flourishes in the capital. Hailing from differing ethnic nomadic cultures\, the ten members unite tribal and music traditions from all over Inner Mongolia. They do so by bringing a wide range of musical instruments and vocal styles together in a fusion that would have made Genghis Khan himself proud. If you missed their 2019 festival debut\, and especially if you did not\, the 2025 return of Anda Union is something you will want to behold!  \n\n\n\n\n“From a jaunty drinking song to eerie demonstrations of throat singing\, this versatile nine-piece summoned the lonely grandeur of their homeland beautifully.”  \n\n\n\n–The Guardian (UK) \n\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 MuseumThis performance is sponsored in part by Marla & Morris Geffen and Harold & Peggy Yellin

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:Noon30: Lakecia Benjamin
DESCRIPTION:To witness a live performance by the alto saxophonist\, emcee\, and bandleader Lakecia Benjamin is to never forget it. The success of her most recent releases has positioned Benjamin among jazz music’s most celebrated recording artists. In addition to absolute raves in outlets like The New York Times\, The Guardian and DownBeat\, she received three Grammy nominations for Phoenix\, as well as an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Jazz Album. Earlier this year\, she was named Alto Saxophonist of the Year by the Jazz Journalist Association. And yet the ever-rising star from Washington Heights remains\, at her core\, an improviser best experienced in her soul-stirring concerts. Each and every time she hits the bandstand\, she takes her repertoire and her wide-ranging audience to sublime new planes. And her message of spiritual uplift\, and social and political liberation soars higher still. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances in the Metal Building are made possible through support by Charles & Rosalie Morris.Funding for the Faircloth jazz series is provided by Bob Faircloth.This performance is sponsored by Pamela & Peter VossPiano by Steinway & Sons
