JOHN McEUEN of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (with
Matt Cartsonis) "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" 40th Anniversary
Concert featuring
BEPPE GAMBETTA |
  |
|
Expect a rousing night of jaw-dropping string
playing, high-spirited Americana music-making, and lush facial hair,
as we bring together John
McEuen, the founder and leader of the Nitty Gritty Dirt
Band, with the virtuoso Italian (now New Jerseyan) guitarist
Beppe Gambetta.

This will be a special "Will The Circle Be
Unbroken" 40th Anniversary concert: It will concentrate on
vintage Nitty Gritty Dirt Band hits and a special set of "Will The
Circle Be Unbroken" songs. John instigated the "Circle" album
in 1971, when he asked Earl Scruggs to play on one of his albums.
The entire story is
here.
John will perform with sideman supreme
Matt Cartsonis (Warren Zevon, Bob Dylan,
Emmylou Harris, Steve Martin). AND, John has been
conspiring with opener Beppe Gambetta to join the jam as well.
A
40th-Anniversary return to "Will The Circle Be Unbroken," sideman
supreme Matt Cartsonis, Beppe Gambetta on flatpick guitar, and other
invited great pickers...this should be a once-in-a-lifetime
treat for lovers of great Americana music. 
Beppe Gambetta fell in love with
Americana music as a young guitarist in Genoa, Italy, and his
mastery of the instrument led to his being called "the Italian King
of flatpick guitar."
His playing is so masterful and complex that the Washington Post
said it sounds like "a duet by Doc Watson and Leo Kottke."

Suzie Vinnick |

I ain't missing you at all, since you've
been gone away...
British singer/songwriter
John Waite has
come a long way since his #1 Billboard hit "Missing You." He
formed
the
supergroup Bad English, put out five solo albums, had a hit
duet with Alison Krauss, and established himself as a
brilliant and engaging stage performer. We expect a thoroughly
entertaining acoustic evening with one of rock's most charming
and accessible troubadours.

guitarist whose big voice and virtuoso playing lead often to
comparisons to a young Bonnie Raitt.

"One of the real, real
geniuses." -Sammy Cahn
"One of the most innovative and proficient songwriters of our
generation." -Billy Joel
There is no shorthand way to sum up the first
35 years of Jimmy Webb's
career. He's known worldwide for the instant classics he wrote for
Glen Campbell (“By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” “Wichita
Lineman,” “Galveston,” “Where’s The Playground, Susie”),
Richard Harris (“MacArthur Park,” “Didn’t We”), the
Fifth Dimension (“Up, Up and Away,” “This Is Your Life”),
The Brooklyn Bridge (“Worst That Could Happen”), Art Garfunkel
(“All I Know”), Linda Ronstadt (“Easy For You To Say”),
Joe Cocker (“The Moon’s A Harsh Mistress”) and countless others
from Tony Bennett and Rosemary Clooney to Urge Overkill, Reba McEntire,
and R.E.M..
He's the only artist ever to receive
Grammy awards for music, lyrics, and orchestration. He's
been elected to the National Academy of Popular Music Songwriter’s
Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, and received a
Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Songwriters. “By
The Time I Get To Phoenix” and “Up, Up and Away” are among
the fifty most-performed songs of the past fifty years ("Phoenix" is
Number Three).
As a performer of his own songs, he's
recorded ten albums and appeared in theaters and high-end cabaret
rooms around the world. And, he brings with him a lifetime of stories
and the passion and playfulness of his own compositions. There is
nothing like hearing Jimmy Webb sing Jimmy Webb.
Special guest
Mara Davi
is an actress and singer who has starred on Broadway in A Chorus Line (as Maggie), The Drowsy Chaperone
(replacing Sutton Foster) and No, No, Nanette (with Sandy
Duncan and Rosie O'Donnell). She will be performing with
pianist/composer
Adam Waite.

"I think we are all born singing Tom Paxton songs."
- Nanci Griffith
"Toms songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find
yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a
friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they're becoming part of
America." -Pete Seeger
From the 1960's, when he would leave his army
base at Fort Dix, NJ to haunt the Village folk clubs at the height
of the Great Folk Boom, through some four decades as probably the
most widely-known folk songwriter since Woody Guthrie,
Tom Paxton has been the
beloved voice of a generation...addressing issues of injustice and
inhumanity; laying bare the absurdities of modern culture; and
celebrating the most tender bonds of family, friends and community.
He is often outspoken, often wonderfully funny, and always
accessible and warm-hearted.
Dozens of Tom's songs have become absorbed
into our oral tradition: "Ramblin' Boy," "Bottle
of Wine," "Whose Garden Was This," "The
Last Thing On My Mind," "Goin' to the Zoo,"
and "The Marvelous Toy" are just a few. He's recorded
34 albums, published 16 children's books, and had his songs covered
by hundreds of artists as diverse as Pete Seeger, Willie Nelson and
Placido Domingo.
He's also a Grammy nominee and an ASCAP Lifetime
Achievement Award winner.In this
once-in-a-lifetime double bill, Tom will be joined by master
songwriter and Sanctuary all-time favorite
Michael Smith ("The
Dutchman," "Spoon River"). Michael's beloved songs
range from the poignant ("Sister Clarissa") to the wildly
hilarious ("Dead Egyptian Blues," "The Princess and the Frog").
