2 Pianos 4 Hands

June 1 - July 1, 2012

As children, Ted and Richard don’t have much in common – except for the shared desire to become classical pianists. But does either of them have what it takes? 2 Pianos 4 Hands is a play with music that follows the dynamic and comical journey of two boys into adulthood, their musical aspirations gleaming like the grand pianos that they play masterfully on stage from beginning to end.

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue with Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds

Sister Sparrow has played shows with The Black Keys, Dr. John, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Warren Haynes, & The Neville Brothers. Los Angeles Times says “...the fiery brass and gospel-infused funk emanating from Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds is rooted in Memphis soul. Their rhythmic wheelhouse combines big-city grit and down-home sweetness...” Relix named them a “Band On The Verge...the nine-person, horn-driven band prove that they can swagger as well as skank—and get bluesy and torchy when they need to.” & featured them as “Summer Stars” in their current issue, 12th Annual Festival Guide. Please take a moment to check it out with their album review as well, along with quotes & clips from The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Boston Globe, Washington Post .  They recently played Summer Camp music festival, SXSW, and a sold out show during Jazz Fest, with upcoming performances at Bonnaroo, Mountain Jam, Brooklyn's CBGB Festival, among others.
