David Bromberg Quartet with special guests Angel Band

David Bromberg is a larger-than-life tornado of a performer who takes incredible joy from making great music with artists he admires. David was an always-in-demand studio musician, playing fiddle, acoustic and electric guitar, pedal steel guitar and dobro on more than 100 albums, and then became a wildly successful solo artist, combining blues, folk, gospel, and roots styles in whirlwind live concerts with his David Bromberg Big Band.

At the height of his popularity, David chucked it all, learned violin-making, and settled down to raise a family and run a small music store. On occasion, though, David loves to get his friends together to make music. In particular, David gets great joy from sharing the stage with his protégées, Angel Band, a vocal trio featuring former Full Frontal Folk chanteuse Jen Schonwald and David's wife Nancy Josephson. Expect a stage full of high-octane virtuoso musicians, the sheer joy of making music, and a rare chance to see David live.

Acoustic POCO with special guest Lindsay Mac

Poco are legendary pioneers of California country/rock, whose innovative music paved the way for groups like The Eagles, The Doobie Brothers, and The Marshall Tucker Band. But, no one does it like the originals.

For this 40th Anniversary Tour, original member Rusty Young and Paul Cotton (who joined the group two years after it was formed), are joined by Jack Sundrud to perform all of Poco's best-loved songs, including "Good Feeling to Know," "Crazy Love" and "Heart Of The Night."

The acoustic trio's special guest will be Lindsay Mac, whose unorthodox style (she accompanies herself on cello, held like a guitar) spans jazz, folk, Americana, funk, and rock, and has earned her audience awards at the Kerrville and Falcon Ridge folk festivals.
 

Tickets: $25

 
Sat., Oct. 11 8PM


Noel Paul Stookey of Peter Paul & Mary with special guest Thea Hopkins

 
Noel Paul Stookey is best known as one-third of the trio Peter, Paul And Mary, one of the most successful and revered singing groups of the 1960s. Their first album, Peter, Paul and Mary, which included their versions of If I Had A Hammer, Lemon Tree, and Where Have All The Flowers Gone?, spent ten months on the Billboard Top Ten list and more than three years in the Top 100.  The group went on to sell more than eight million albums.

Noel has balanced his involvement with the trio with his career as a solo singer-songwriter, record producer and political and spiritual activist. His tune, The Wedding Song (There Is Love), written for Peter Yarrow's marriage to Marybeth McCarthy, the niece of senator Eugene McCarthy, has become a nuptial classic. He now lives in South Blue Hill, Maine, and oversees diverse a multi-media business that specializes in children's computer software, television shows and music.

Special guest Thea Hopkins is a Boston-area singer/songwriter who describes her music as "American Short-Story Folk." Her song Jesus Is On The Wire, about the murder of Matthew Shepard, was recorded by Peter Paul & Mary in 2004.

Chad & Jeremy with special guest Anthony Da Costa

Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde owned Top 40 radio for much of the mid-1960s. "Yesterday's Gone," "Willow Wait For Me," "Summer Song" and "Distant Shores" were in the air, everywhere. After meeting at drama school in 1960 and playing the folk clubs of England, the duo swept into the United States with the British Invasion led by the Beatles and charted eleven Top 40 hits.

They were big hits on American television, too, with appearances on "Batman," "The Patty Duke Show," "Dick Van Dyke" and "Laredo." The duo split up in the late '60s so Jeremy could return to England to pursue an acting career. Other than a brief reunion in the 1980's, they did not make music together again until they reunited in 2004 for a PBS special.  They've been together ever since. They are preparing a retrospective album as well as a CD of all new material, and tour regularly.

Special guest Anthony Da Costa was last seen at The Sanctuary when he joined Abbie Gardner (of Red Molly) when Abbie opened for Cheryl Wheeler. Since then, he's released his sixth record, was nominated as Folk Alliance Emerging Artist of the Year, and recorded his seventh record. Prior to that, he won the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk and the Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist Competitions, showcased at the Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival in Nashville, and was a Mountain Stage New Song Contest Finalist. Now, here's the thing: Anthony is seventeen years old, and has done all of that while finishing high school!
