Greetings – We’re in a time of high emotions and heavy headlines. I know that many in our audience are carving out time to express their beliefs on the streets and connect with likeminded citizens. Through it all, the need for respite and beauty hasn’t gone away—it’s essential.

This week we’re welcoming three artists who carry powerful stories: Dom Flemons comes to us from Chicago with the history and sounds of Black American folk music.  Texan Sue Foley channels the grit and grace of a huge array of women musicians with her special tribute show. Humbird arrives from Minnesota with quiet, poetic strength.

In times like these, live music reminds us who we are and who we want to be. By coming to this room that has seen us through so much since 1960, we can tap into the energy and endurance we need.

See you at the show,
Sarah

In April 1983 Michael Jackson had just come off 5 months of successive worldwide tours supporting the best-selling album of all time,Thriller. After a year of writing and recording demos, Michael and his producer Quincy Jones were ready to return to the studio. It took 2 years of additional writing, recording and mixing to create what many fans feel is Michael’s greatest record. With songs like; “Bad”, “The Way You Make Me Feel”, “Man in the Mirror”, “Dirty Diana”, “Smooth Criminal” and 6 more “Bad” is a great, fun record.
