SUMMARY:Chris Smither
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 3\, 2026\n$49 Advance | $51 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm\n\nBorn in Miami\, during World War II\, Chris Smither grew up in New Orleans where he first started playing music as a child. The son of a Tulane University professor\, he was taught the rudiments of instrumentation by his uncle on his mother’s ukulele. “Uncle Howard\,” Smither says\, “showed me that if you knew three chords\, you could play a lot of the songs you heard on the radio. And if you knew four chords\, you could pretty much rule the world.” With that bit of knowledge under his belt\, he was hooked. “I’d loved acoustic music – specifically the blues – ever since I first heard Lightnin’ Hopkins’ Blues In My Bottle album. I couldn’t believe the sound Hopkins got. At first I thought it was two guys playing guitar. My style\, to a degree\, came out of trying to imitate that sound I heard.”\nIn his early twenties\, Smither turned his back on his anthropology studies and headed to Boston at the urging of legendary folk singer Eric von Schmidt. It was the mid-’60s and acoustic music thrived in the streets and coffeehouses there. Smither forged lifelong friendships with many musicians\, including Bonnie Raitt who went on to record his songs\, “Love You Like A Man” and “I Feel the Same. (Their friendship has endured as their career paths intertwined over the years.) What quickly evolved from his New Orleans and Cambridge musical experiences is his enduring\, singular guitar sound – a beat-driven finger-picking\, strongly influenced by the playing of Mississippi John Hurt and Lightnin’ Hopkins\, layered over the ever-present backbeat of his rhythmic\, tapping feet (always mic’d in performance). \nSmither’s first albums\, I’m A Stranger\, Too! (1971) and Don’t It Drag On (1972) were released on Poppy Records\, home of kindred spirit Townes Van Zandt. By the time Smither recorded his third album\, Honeysuckle Dog with Lowell George and Dr. John helping out\, United Artists had absorbed Poppy and ultimately dropped much of their roster\, including Smither. Smither made his next record in 1985\, when the spare It Ain’t Easy on Adelphi Records marked his return to the studio. \nBy the early ’90s\, Smither’s steady nationwide touring and regular release of consistently acclaimed albums cemented his reputation as one of the finest acoustic musicians in the country. His 1991 album\, Another Way to Find You\, was recorded live in front of an in-studio audience with no overdubs or second takes. This would be the first of two albums with Flying Fish Records. His next recording\, Happier Blue\, was embraced by Triple A radio and received the NAIRD (now AFIM) award as Best Folk Recording of 1993. Up On The Lowdown (1995) marked the first of a trio of albums to be recorded with producer Stephen Bruton at The Hit Shack in Austin and his first of five albums with roots label HighTone Records. Up On the Lowdown rode the crest of the newly formed Americana radio format wave and sparked considerable interest abroad. A tour of Australia with Dave Alvin and extensive solo touring in Europe led to an expanding global interest in Smither. His song\, “I Am the Ride\,” from this album inspired the independent film\, The Ride\, for which Smither also composed the original score. \nIn early 1997 Smither released Small Revelations. It climbed the Americana and Triple A radio charts and led to concert dates with B.B. King\, Bonnie Raitt\, Nanci Griffith\, and the hugely successful\, original Monsters of Folk’ tour with Ramblin’ Jack Elliott\, Dave Alvin and Tom Russell. Small Revelations also generated several film projects for Smither. Emmylou Harris recorded his song\, “Slow Surprise\,” for the The Horse Whisperer soundtrack on MCA. And his recording of “Hold On” was used in the indie feature film Love From Ground Zero. Smither also shared insight into his guitar style and technique on two instructional DVDs\, available from Homespun Video. \nHis CD\, Drive You Home Again (1999)\, garnered four-stars from Rolling Stone. And with it\, Smither continued to tour world-wide. Shortly after\, in 2000\, Smither released his one-man-tour-de-force\, Live As I’ll Ever Be. Recorded in-concert at various clubs and concert halls in California\, Dublin\, Galway\, Boston\, and Washington DC\, it has proven to be a fan favorite\, capturing Smither at what he loves to do: performing in front of an audience. \nTrain Home (2003) was Smither’s last record for HighTone and his first with producer David Goodrich. Over a six-week period\, basic tracks for Train Home were recorded in the relaxed environment of Smither’s home near Boston. Working with new session musicians\, the record is simultaneously sparse and assured. Bonnie Raitt graciously provided backing vocals and slide guitar on Smither’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row.” And Smither’s “Seems So Real” from the CD earned a Folk Alliance Award as “Song of the Year.” \nIn 2005\, jazz great Diana Krall covered “Love Me Like A Man\,” introducing what is now a blues standard to a whole world of jazz fans. Shortly after\, Smither’s song “Slow Surprise” was included in the independent film\, Brother’s Shadow. In addition\, Smither narrated a two-CD audio book recording of “Will Rogers’ Greatest Hits.” Continuing to expand his creative horizon\, Smither was invited to contribute an essay to Sixty Things to Do When You Turn Sixty\, a 2006 collection of essays by American luminaries on reaching that milestone. In 2009\, Melville House published Amplified\, a book featuring 16 short stories by notable American performing songwriters. Smither’s story Leroy Purcell about a touring musician’s encounter with a Texas State Patrolman leads off the collection. \nWith the release of his 12th recording Leave The Light On (2006) on his own imprint\, Mighty Albert\, Smither began a new label relationship with the renowned acoustic and modern folk label\, Signature Sounds. For the recording\, Smither reunited with producer David Goodrich and session musicians Mike Piehl\, Lou Ulrich and Anita Suhanin. As an added treat\, Smither invited good friend and Grammy Award-winning multi- instrumentalist\, Tim O’Brien\, along with rising American roots stars\, Ollabelle\, to add their distinctive talents on several tracks. Smither followed this with Time Stands Still (2009)\, his most stripped down recording in some time\, working with just two accompanists after the same trio had played a rare band performance – a non-solo setup required in order to play a Netherlands festival. \nAbout the recording Smither says\, “We’re the only three guys on this record\, and most of the songs only have three parts going on. We had a freewheeling feeling at that festival gig\, and we managed to make a lot of that same feeling happen in this record.” In 2011 Smither put out two fan projects: a collection of live tracks from newly discovered concert recordings from the 1980s-1990s titled Lost and Found and the rollicking EP\, What I Learned in School\, on which Smither covered six classic rock and roll songs. \nSmither followed these fan-projects with Hundred Dollar Valentine (2012)\, a ★★★★★ (MOJO) studio record of all Smither-penned songs. With longtime producer David “Goody” Goodrich at the helm\, this collection sported Smither’s trademark acoustic guitar sound and evocative sonic textures meshed with spare\, brilliant songs\, delivered in a bone-wise\, hard-won voice. \nIn 2014 Smither released Still on the Levee (2014) – a double-CD retrospective. Recorded in New Orleans at the Music Shed\, this career-spanning project features fresh new takes on 24 iconic songs from his vast career and some very special guests including the legendary Allen Toussaint and Loudon Wainwright III. \nThe coffee table style book Chris Smither Lyrics 1966-2012 and Signature Sounds’ Link of Chain – an all-star tribute record including a stellar list of artists offering their takes on some Smither favorites including Josh Ritter\, Bonnie Raitt\, Loudon Wainwright III\, Dave Alvin\, Peter Case\, Tim O’Brien\, Patty Larkin\, and many others were fan-favorite accompaniments to the retrospective CD . \nIn March 2018\, Smither released his eighteenth record\, Call Me Lucky (Signature Sounds/Mighty Albert) once again teaming up with producer and multi-instrumentalist David Goodrich. Also joined by Billy Conway (Morphine) and Matt Lorenz (The Suitcase Junket)\, Smither recorded eight new originals along with some very special and surprising covers at the Blue Rock studios in the Texas hills in June 2017. \nIn October 2020\, More From The Levee\, the followup to the 50-year career retrospective Still on the Levee\, was released. Said Acoustic Guitar: Smither sings about “the big things – life\, love\, loss – in a penetrating and poetic yet unpretentious way.” \nThe 20th release\, All About the Bones (release date: May 3\, 2024 on Signature Sounds/Mighty Albert\, distributed by Redeye) is as elemental as the inky black shadows cast by a shockingly bright moon. Featuring eight brand new Chris Smither songs and Smither renditions of Eliza Gilkyson’s “Calm Before the Storm” and also Tom Petty’s “Time to Move On”\, the listener is welcomed into some gothic mansion on an imaginary New Orleans street\, and there in the lamplit parlor confronts the band\, a minimalist skeleton crew: Smither’s inimitable propulsive guitar and rumbling baritone are joined seamlessly to producer David Goodrich’s carpetbag of instruments\, Zak Trojano’s rock-steady\, primal drumming\, BettySoo’s diaphanous harmony vocals\, and the flat\, mournful flood of Jazz legend Chris Cheek’s saxophone. Recorded at Sonelab Studios in Easthampton MA by Justin Pizzoferrato All About the Bones has a feel that is somehow baroque and austere at once.

SUMMARY:Five for Fighting with String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 29\, 2026\n$55 Advance | $57 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm\nOpener: Lace & Lee \nThe only way for a story to progress is to turn the page. \nJohn Ondrasik— the songwriter and performer known as the platinum-selling\, Grammy-nominated\, Five For Fighting—knows this well. In the two decades since his first major single\, “Superman (It’s Not Easy)\,” hit the stratosphere\, the artist has both evolved and come back ‘round full circle. Creativity\, if nothing else\, is paradoxical.\n\n\nTo date\, Five For Fighting\, has released six studio LPs\, including the platinum certified America Town and The Battle for Everything; and the top-10 charting Two Lights\, along with an EP and live albums. Ondrasik has penned major hits\, including the chart-topping “100 Years\,” “The Riddle\,” “Chances\,” “World\,” and “Easy Tonight\,” which have earned over one billion streams and place him as a top-10 Hot Adult Contemporary artist for the 2000s. The reflective “100 Years” has joined “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” as part of the American Songbook and continues to stand the test of time at weddings\, birthdays\, graduations\, memorials\, and many a home video. Five For Fighting’s music has also been featured in more than 350 films\, television shows\, and commercials\, including the Oscar-winning The Blind Side\, Hawaii Five-O\, The Sopranos and the CBS drama\, Code Black. \nReferencing Fight For Fighting’s success in the 2000s\, AllMusic called Ondrasik “one of the decade’s leading balladeers.” But perhaps his biggest achievement is performing “Superman (It’s Not Easy)\,” at the 2001 Concert for New York\, a benefit show at Madison Square Garden that honored first responders and the fallen about a month after the tragic September 11th attacks. Ondrasik performed alongside other big-name artists like Paul McCartney\, The Who\, Elton John\, Billy Joel\, and dozens more. \nSays Ondrasik\, “It was a surreal experience. I was honored and blessed to pay tribute to the heroes who ran into those buildings at ground zero\, and hopefully\, through a song\, provide a little solace to family members who’d lost loved ones.” \nNow\, though\, what once was a dream is a reality. Buoyed by his unique falsetto voice and his prowess on the piano—a skill bestowed to him by his piano teacher mother—Ondrasik has made a solid reputation for himself in the world of songwriting and performance\, selling upwards of three million albums over his career. Not only does he tour with his popular string quartet and play solo and rock band gigs\, but he is also a high demand keynote speaker in which he combines themes of creativity and innovation with his business acumen.  Along with his father\, he has managed the family business throughout his musical career.  As Ondrasik happily puts it\, his company\, Precision Wire Products\, “makes the best shopping cart in the world!” \nHe’s presented at TEDx\, The Salk Institute\, American Cancer Society\, and dozens more. Perhaps being the son of an astrophysicist dad and having a degree in mathematics from UCLA has something to do with it. \n“Math was the Plan-B to get a real job when the music thing imploded\,” says Ondrasik\, with a chuckle. \nBut that doesn’t mean he wasn’t always a student at heart. As he wrote songs in his late teens and early 20s\, the Los Angeles-born Ondrasik studied his favorite rock vocalists. Finding out that singers like Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry studied classical voice\, he did too\, even seeking out some of those icons’ former teachers. No stone unturned. \nIn September of 2021\, Ondrasik released the powerful\, “Blood on My Hands\,” a protest song that takes a non-political\, moral stance against the 2021 United States chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. While he’s well-versed in politics\, he isn’t of a bickering mindset. For Ondrasik\, it’s about the conversation. “Blood on My Hands\,” the track\, accompanying acoustic version\, and docu-music video\, “Blood on My Hands (White House Version)\,” has had millions of streams to date (despite little-to-no radio play). Like other protest songs of the past— “Ohio” by Crosby\, Stills\, Nash & Young or “The Times They Are a-Changin’” by Bob Dylan—Ondrasik aimed to point out a problem. While it’s critical of President Biden’s administration\, he says that if a Republican were President\, the song would remain the same\, only the names would change. \nThanks to the song\, years later\, Ondrasik is still working with evacuation groups that strive to help the American citizens left behind in Afghanistan by the U.S. government\, as well as the Afghan people who remain there largely under the threat of terrorism. It’s a difficult\, and at times a polarizing subject\, but it’s one Ondrasik is not shying away from. Not because of any politics or partisan pats on the back\, but simply because he knows it’s the right thing to do. \nOndrasik notes\, “There has been a tradition of musicians speaking truth to power. In the current tribal culture\, our freedom of expression has never been more critical.” \nIn 2022\, Ondrasik released “Can One Man Save The World?” with a powerful companion music video\, featuring the Ukrainian Orchestra filmed in Ukraine.  The song\, inspired by the courage of President Vladimir Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine\, asks the nation\, and the world\, to stand up for core values of freedom and justice. \nMoved to action that extended beyond songwriting\, Ondrasik entered an area\, outside of Kyiv\, that had seen heavy combat shortly after the Russians pulled back from the capital with an American production crew. \n“I was honored to perform my new Ukraine tribute song Can One Man Save the World? with the Ukrainian Orchestra in the ruins of the Antonov Airport – in front of the Ukrainians’ beloved Mriya\, the world’s largest cargo plane that Russia destroyed at the outset of the war\,” said Ondrasik. “In sharing this musical collaboration on such hallowed ground\, I saw firsthand the fortitude and grace of the Ukrainian people\, who whether playing a violin or driving a tank\, will not be deterred by Putin’s atrocities and aggressions.” \nProceeds from the single and its companion video benefit the NGO Save Our Allies and further its mission of providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine and Afghanistan. \nThroughout his multi-decade career\, which began when music publisher Carla Berkowitz (now his wife of 25 years) discerned him in a dive bar\, Ondrasik has been involved in multiple charity efforts. Along with supporting the troops via multiple USO tours\, Ondrasik created “The CD For the Troops” project with song and comedy compilations featuring artists like Billy Joel\, Melissa Ethridge\, Chris Rock\, and others\, gifting more than one million CDs to veterans and military families. John has also been deeply involved with the ALS charity “Augie’s Quest.” and is an ambassador for his pal Gary supporting the Gary Sinise Foundation. \nWhile he may not be as obsessive as he once was—writing upwards of dozens of songs per month\, Ondrasik is more focused today. He knows who he is\, as an artist and as a human being. His is a career molded by light and darkness. At one point\, he’d been looked over by every publishing house and label out there. At another\, he had one of the biggest songs in the world. Those extremes give a person perspective. \n“I’ve been incredibly blessed\,” he says. “I still pinch myself.” \nAs Five For Fighting\, which is a professional hockey term designating a five-minute penalty for fisticuffs on the ice\, Ondrasik has also developed a close relationship within the world of sports. He was a contributing writer for Sports Illustrated as well as for his beloved Los Angeles Kings. Five For Fighting was one of the first musical artists to perform on ESPN’s SportsCenter\, and has played The Daytona 500\, Monday Night Football\, The Heritage Classic\, the L.A. Kings outdoor hockey game\, and more. Recently\, John performed a version of 100 Years for CBS sports celebrating “100 Days to the Superbowl” and is routinely featured in Bally Sports broadcasts at the start of L.A. Kings hockey games. \n“Singing from home plate at Dodger stadium\,” Ondrasik says\, “where\, as a five-year-old boy\, my dad and I would catch bleacher bombs during batting practice—that was a dream.” \nToday\, Ondrasik spends his time writing music\, touring\, working at the family business\, supporting various charities\, and enjoying life with his wife\, two children\, and dog Ender. \nThrough “What Kind of World Do You Want\,” Ondrasik’s charity driven website – WhatKindofWorldDoYouWant.com – he has raised funds for Afghan evacuation organizations\, refugees and Augie’s Quest to cure ALS. He continues to support Save Our Allies and the Ukrainian people through “Can One Man Save the World”\, multiple charities fighting antisemitism globally\, and looks forward to returning to Ukraine and Israel in the near future. \nWhat motivates him musically now? \nHis latest three songs tell the story. He wants to promote dialogue. He’s set to speak his mind\, with words\, melody\, and conviction. \nOndrasik doesn’t shy away from nuance. He embraces it and seeks it – just as he does the next chorus\, the next verse\, all the while searching for a bridge\nIt’s what artists and freethinkers do\, after all. \nIt’s his gift to share. \nHis decided obligation\, too. \nAbout Lace & Lee: \nLace & Lee is a folk rock duo heavily influenced by the mystical wisdom of 60s and 70s storytelling\, with a twist of humor and bard-like prose. Caroline Lace and Olivia Lee began their musical journey at NYU Tisch\, and have since toured with Five For Fighting. Their ethereal vocals and risky harmonies carry the spirit and charm of Celtic music\, often holding a mirror up to the 21st century.

SUMMARY:Ana Popovic
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 25\, 2026\n$50 Advance | $52 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nLos Angeles-based and critically acclaimed guitarist and singer Ana Popovic released her highly acclaimed album Dance To The Rhythm (Electric Heel Records) on September 26\, 2025. Produced by Popovic and Buthel\, the album showcases a groundbreaking fusion of groove\, blues\, funk\, and soul. \nBuilding on the success of her previous work\, Dance To The Rhythm pushes boundaries\, seamlessly blending infectious dance grooves (“Dance To The Rhythm” / “Sho Nuff”) with raw blues guitar and powerful lyrics. From the soulful “Soul’ution” to the funky “Hottest Ticket In Town” and the bluesy “Dwell On The Feeling”\, “California Chase\,” the album weaves a rich tapestry of musical styles\, reflecting Popovic’s masterful versatility. The track “Sisters and Brothers” channels a Steely Dan-like arrangement\, while “Hurt So Good” brings a contemporary mainstream flair. The ultimate jam comes in the form of a clever reimagining of Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.”\n\nAna says: “One of my biggest strengths on stage is my ability to make people dance. Music should take you to a place where you can let go\, feel the groove\, and move. You want music to grab you\, to have a pocket that you can’t resist. —everything else revolves around it. Blues guitar has never really been part of dance music before\, and in that way\, it’s revolutionary. Guitar plays a central role in these tracks\, breaking down the boundaries created by time\, culture\, and musical traditions. With this album\, I’m pushing those boundaries.” For Ana\, blues guitar is the foundation of everything in her music. Yet\, she masterfully blends genres\, effortlessly shifting from blues to dance\, jam band\, funk\, pop\, and even gospel—it’s all part of her evolving sound. \nA true pioneer\, Ana combines her blues guitar roots with bold experimentation\, redefining the intersection of blues and dance music. Her live performances\, whether with her six-piece or eleven-piece funk band FUNTASTAFUNK\, are electrifying\, blending fierce guitar work with irresistible rhythms that compel audiences to move. \nA multi-award-winning artist\, Popovic has earned recognition from major outlets and industry figures\, including Bruce Springsteen\, who called her “one helluva guitar player.” She’s been nominated for seven Blues Music Awards\, and her latest album POWER hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart. Ana has shared stages with legends such as B.B. King\, Joe Bonamassa\, Warren Haynes\, Robert Plant\, and Gary Clark Jr.\, and is an endorsee of Fender\, D’Angelico\, Jim Dunlop\, and DR Strings. \nPopovic’s commitment to her craft and fearless boundary-pushing ensures she remains one of the most dynamic forces in contemporary blues and beyond.

SUMMARY:Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 18\, 2026\n$31 Advance | $33 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nSince forming in 1988 in Southern California\, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have become one of the world’s most beloved Americana/Roots acts\, drawing from the deep musical waters that flow just beneath the surface of Rock & Roll’s fertile soil. A childhood passion for Country\, Doo-Wop\, and Rhythm & Blues 45s led Sandy (born Robert Williams) to pursue a singing career as a teenager\, beginning a life in music that continues decades later. And as his personal record collection continues to grow (75\,000 and counting)\, so does the depth of the musical influences that stream through his songwriting and singing style. A critically acclaimed tribute to Tex-Mex hero Freddy Fender\, released at the beginning of the 2020 lockdown\, points the way forward for Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys as they continue on a path of musical growth. After nearly 35 years on the road\, and more than two dozen releases to their credit\, they remain key figures on the ever-changing Americana circuit\, both on record and in live appearances
