Kick The Cat w/s/g NEQ
Date: October 7th, 2022
Location: Lark Hall
Address: 351 Hudson Ave. Albany
Doors: 7pm
Show: 8pm
Age: 18+
Based in Chicago and Nashville, Kick The Cat is an internationally renowned fusion quartet. Musically, the band falls within the virtuosic lineage of classic fusion and prog ensembles like Return to Forever and Weather Report but draws on contemporary groove elements, electronics, and a healthy dose of humor. The result is a heady, yet approachable, combination of mind-bending rhythms, harmonies, and kaleidoscopic textures.
The band formed while in college in the late
1990s, performing one another’s unique and challenging compositions. At the time, the four musicians lived together and worked on their music while also individually making names for themselves in the Chicago music scene. Over the last twenty years Kick The
Cat has released three full-length albums of original material and has performed hundreds of shows, headlining and opening for national acts such as Umphrey’s McGee, Vital Information, Oz Noy, Jazz Mandolin Project, John Novello, Stu Hamm, and more. KTC has
long been noted as being one of the most engaging ensembles to emerge from Chicago’s richly varied scene.

Drummer Kris Myers is a founding member of
KTC (performing on the first two albums) but left the band in 2003 after being recruited by now-renowned jam band Umphrey’s McGee. He was temporarily replaced by Tom Hipskind (Hamilton, Brian Culbertson), but has rejoined the original lineup for the current
album and shows. Guitarist Chris Siebold is a well-known prodigy and in-demand session player in Chicago who has also performed regularly with Howard Levy and Garrison Keeler’s Prairie Home Companion. Keyboardist Vijay Tellis-Nayak has performed with many
greats including Marcus Miller and Jennifer Hudson and was featured in 2007’s Keyboard Magazine for KTC’s Scramble album as Unsigned Artist of the Month. He is also one of the owners and producers at Chicago’s Transient Sound Recording Studio. Bassist and
multi-instrumentalist Chris Clemente is one of the most sought after musicians and educators in Chicago and has performed with many greats including Jon Secada, Randy Brecker, and Kanye West

KTC’s new album Gurgle is a long-awaited
tour de force. Its varied style takes you from 70s-style fusion to Rio’s Carnival, from dub-step to RnB, and from Zappa to country, all the while telling a story in a humorous, ponderous, and delightfully irreverent tone.

Lucky Chops: New Day, New Tour
Friday, January 27, 2023
WORKS Entertainment Presents
LUCKY CHOPS
NEW DAY, NEW TOUR
Universal Preservation Hall
Friday, January 27
Doors 7:00 PM
Lucky Chops comes at you with every hue on the rainbow.
Lucky Chops is big, brassy, and unapologetically bold. The six piece band has united audiences in more than 30 countries in thousands of shows, hard driving grooves and potent singable melodies. The irresistible groove that is Lucky Chops is led by co-founder Josh Holcomb’s soulful trombone, Daro Behroozi’s soaring sax and Joshua Gawel’s powerful trumpet.
Born in the streets of New York City’s multicultural melting pot the band pays homage to America’s New Orleans brass band tradition while fusing their sound with eclectic rock, Caribbean, Arabic, Eastern European, funk, jazz, ska, gospel, and EDM.
“Our strength is having individual members who get to express themselves as part of a whole that is more than the sum of its parts,” says Behroozi, a Brooklyn native whose polyglot Iranian/Dutch/French/German background has led to his interest in everything from Middle Eastern sounds to the tradition of the Balkan brass bands.
Starting in the underground halls of New York City’s subway stations, Lucky Chops first learned to entertain by busking for crowds from all over the world. Their talent did not go unnoticed, as a video of their mash-up of Lipps, Inc.’s “Funkytown” and James Brown’s “I Feel Good,” which has amassed hundreds of millions of views across social media and led to an online subscriber base almost two million strong.
The band returns to the road for the first time since the end of 2019, and on the heels of the release of their second full-length album, New Day, planned for release this fall.

Billy Bragg
It was thirty-seven years ago when the Saturday boy from Essex became the UK’s foremost political singer-songwriter. He released his first record, Life’s a Riot with Spy Vs Spy, bashed out on a punk rock electric guitar. It charted at number 30. Billy Bragg had arrived. He’d ‘risen from obscurity to semi-obscurity.’
Politicised by a Tory government, Billy bought himself out of the British Army in 1981 (‘the best £175 I ever spent’), and blazed his own modest trail. His ‘difficult third album’ Talking with The Taxman About Poetry took on additional guitar, piano and flugelhorn. Between the Wars EP landed him on Top of the Pops. He even made a jaunty video, but went back to basics for William Bloke, reflecting a changing geopolitical world after the Berlin Wall. Nora Guthrie, daughter of the folk legend Woody, blessed him with Woody’s unsung lyrics; Mermaid Avenue (with Wilco) was Grammy-nominated.
Tooth and Nail was recorded in five days in acclaimed songwriter/producer Joe Henry’s basement studio in Pasadena, Billy Bragg said: ‘I did it my way.’ It was his highest charting LP in the UK since Don’t Try This at Home in 1991. Shine a Light, his collaborative eleventh reunited him with Joe Henry; guided by the lights of myth, they boarded at Chicago’s Union Station and ‘looked to reconnect with the culture of American railroad travel. The Observer called it ‘a muscular chronicle’, and it cracked America for him.
The intervening three-and-a-half decades have been marked by numerous milestones and waystations, political and personal, topping the singles chart, having a street named after him, being mentioned in Dylan’s memoir, being invited to deliver a seminar on accountability at the Bank of England and meeting the Queen.
‘Ruggedly handsome’ (according to one Facebook fan), there ain’t no stopping him now. For every protest song (‘There Is Power in A Union’), there’s a declaration of love (‘I Will Be Your Shield). Orator, published author, entertainer, rabble-rouser, negotiator, pamphleteer, the fabled ‘big-nosed bard from Barking’ is many things.
Lockdown couldn’t keep him down. Instead, he looked inwardly as well as outwardly, and joined the two together, stronger. A new set, The Million Things That Never Happened emerged, blinking back into the light.

Clint Roberts & Helena Rose
Clint Roberts and Helena Rose are a western NC-based duo formed from Clint Roberts & The Holler Choir. Described as Contemporary Appalachian, the pair sing songs characterized by tight harmonies and complex rhythms. Helena and Clint both grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina and seek to preserve the presentation of traditional musicality while simultaneously playing songs that are of the times. This sound is presented clearly in Clint’s most recent EP, Holler Choir, which Helena is featured heavily on. Fans of Watch House and Tyler Childers should see this show!

Peter Mulvey
Mulvey is an iconoclast within the singer/songwriter world.
About this event
Peter Mulvey is a veteran singer and songwriter from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mulvey is an iconoclast within the singer/songwriter world. Restless and inventive, he has made 20 records, spanning rock and roll, folk, Jazz, spoken word, and Americana. Mulvey continues to tour, playing over a hundred shows a year as he has for the past 25 years. This is the core of what he does: music, in a room, performed for a live audience. Check him out at petermulvey.com.
Peter Mulvey has been a songwriter, road-dog, raconteur, and almost-poet since before he can remember. In 1989 he spent a year in Ireland, busking on the streets of Dublin and hitchhiking to whatever gigs he could find. Back stateside, he spent a couple years gigging through the bars of his native Midwest before taking off for Boston, where he returned to subway busking and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows, which eventually led to regional and then national touring. The wheels have not stopped since.
Twenty albums, one illustrated book, thousands of live performances, a TEDx talk, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp, opening tours and gigs for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco, Greg Brown, Emmylou Harris and Chuck Prophet, appearances on NPR, an annual autumn tour by bicycle, emceeing festivals, hosting his own Lamplighter Sessions for years in Boston and in Wisconsin… he has built his life’s work on collaboration, on an instinct for the eclectic and the vital.
With his eighteenth record, “There Is Another World,” Mulvey delves into the winter of things. Divorce and death, loss and renewal are all present in a collection of songs that range from terse, haiku-like intensity to warm, evocative poetry. And the poets are littered throughout the record; references to Naomi Shihab Nye, Lorine Niedecker, Ted Kooser, Jim Harrison, Mary Oliver, Rilke, Yeats, and Beckett nestle alongside his musical influences of Greg Brown, Anais Mitchell, and Paul Simon.

Leonardo Suarez Paz – Cuartetango
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
8 P.M.
Tickets: $35 – 65
Arkell Pavilion
Born and raised in Argentina, Leonardo Suarez Paz is known for his uncommon talent as a singer, tango dancer and choreographer. Leonardo Suarez Paz leads his Latin GRAMMY® Award nominated CUARTETANGO string quartet with bandoneon and tango dance. The group “personifies and embodies the authentic spirit of Tango” (Latin GRAMMY®), while making a “serious pitch to the black-tie segment” (LA Times) in a show that has been hailed as an “ingenious musical concept: classic tango music of the 1940s and ‘50s is fused with the harmonic and rhythmic construct of contemporary nuevo tango – and it’s performed by a classically trained quartet. Throw in dance, poetry, and visuals – and the whole thing is a Force 5 sensorial explosion.” (The Day, CT)
Enjoy dinner at SVAC’s curATE café before the performance. Visit OpenTable for reservations or call 802-362-9100.
Dylan’s Birthday Bash – A Benefit Concert for Dylan McDonnell
A family friendly fundraiser event to support our friend, Dylan McDonnell and his journey with Fredrick’s Ataxia (FA).

The East End Boys

$10 at the door
We are lifelong friends of Dylan McDonnell. As you may know, Dylan is diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia or FA, a debilitating, life-shortening, degenerative neuro-muscular disorder. In years past, the McDonnell family has organized the McDonnell Music Festival notably raising more than one-hundred thousand dollars, graciously donating all monies directly to the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance.
FA has no cure. Dylan suffers the progressive loss of coordination and muscle strength. Dylan’s already limited movement is adversely impacted and he relies on the use of a wheelchair. The time has come as the need has never been greater for Dylan to realize the benefit of community fundraising efforts. With your help, we seek to offset costs living with FA, purposefully:
- to promote freedom of mobility and prevalent well-being;
- to maintain and insure an accessible van, to procure its longevity; and
- to produce a night of music and friendly camaraderie featuring local musicians and celebration event to be held at The Queensbury Hotel on Friday, September 30th— Dylan’s 45th Birthday.
As you may relate, our hometown swells with pride. It is important that we recognize one of our own; aptly all together—undeniably—nobody is more deserving than Dylan. We are grateful to be a part of this tight-knit and giving community. Your contribution will absolutely make Dylan’s birthday shine brightest knowing that our fabric is peacefully laced and spiritedly interwoven.
Please join in our celebration. Your gift is certainly appreciated. We applaud your generosity. Thank you!
Respectfully yours,
Jeremy Carner
