LIVE MUSIC! Coming June First Weekend!
Jonah Smith and Doug Wamble Duo
Friday, June 1st, 2012 8p.m. $20
Avalon Theatre - Stoltz Listening Rm - 40 E. Dover St.
In their solo careers, singer-songwriters Jonah Smith and Doug Wamble have established themselves as original, high-energy performers. Put them together in a great venue like the Stoltz Listening Room and who knows to what new musical heights they'll go! With a soulful voice that the New York Times calls languid and pleasantly textured, Smith draws from the deep well of American blues and many of its offshoots (including soul, country, and folk) to craft his diverse body of work. Guitarist/vocalist Doug Wamble has two critically acclaimed albums to his name and has also performed with such jazz greats as Wynton and Branford Marsalis and Cassandra Wilson, as well as pop artists like Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux, and Courtney Love.
Ryful
Saturday, June 2, 2012
8:00 p.m., $12
NightCat - 5 Goldsborough Street
Ryful is a Rock Duo from Maryland. Jon Fuller (drums) and Justin Pokrywka (guitar), previously of the band "All Together Spent" decided that they wanted to change things up and explore their raw rock n roll side that had been hiding inside for a while. Pokrywka switched to electric guitar and the wall of sound that the two of them began to produce was chimerical. Their music ranges from blues,grunge to alternative rock.
Bela Fleck and the Marcus Roberts Trio
Saturday, June 2, 2012 8 p.m.
$100/$80/$50
Avalon Theatre - Main Stage - 40 E. Dover St.
Grammy-winner Béla Fleck, often considered the premier banjo player in the world, has a reputation for performing in genre-bending collaborations with diverse musicians ranging from tabla players to traditional bluegrass bands. The Marcus Roberts Trio—with Marcus Roberts on piano, Jason Marsalis on drums, and Rodney on bass—is known for its virtuosic jazz style, a style that is strongly rhythmic, melodic, and filled with dynamic contrast. Put them together on stage and what you get is a unique musical chemistry that erupts into something unforgettably exuberant, fresh, bold, and eclectic.
Boyz II Men
Sunday, June 3, 2012 $100/$80/$50
Avalon Theatre - Main Stage - 40 E. Dover St.
Having sold over 60 million copies of their albums, Boyz II Men is the most commercially successful R&B group of all time. Their touching ballads and heavenly a cappella harmonies have earned them four Grammies and legions of fans around the world with hits like "I'll Make Love to You," "On Bended Knee," "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday," and "One Sweet Day" (with Mariah Carey). And now you can experience this quintessential boy band live in concert here on the Shore in an incredible venue like the Avalon! Be sure to get your tickets early…this show will likely sell out fast!
