Malta House Presents: The Midtown Men Saturday, Sept. 14 | 8:00pm

They took Broadway by storm in one of the biggest hits of all-time. Now on their 7th national tour, THE MIDTOWN MEN are bringing their magic to audiences everywhere, singing their favorite “Sixties Hits” from The Beatles, The Rascals, The Turtles, Motown, The Four Seasons and more.

“The seats were filled with shouting, singing, dancing in the aisle fans!”—Times Square Chronicles

This sensational production reunites four stars from the Original Broadway Cast of Jersey Boys. Tony Award winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer star in this one-of-a-kind concert experience celebrating the music that defined the ‘60s.

These talented entertainers shared the Broadway stage for over a thousand performances in the mega-hit Jersey Boys.

Three Dog Night hits wind through the fabric of pop culture today, whether on the radio where they are heard day in and day out, in TV commercials or in major motion pictures—songs like “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)”, “Joy to the World”, “Black and White”, “Shambala” and “One” serve to heighten our emotions and crystallize Three Dog Night’s continuing popularity.

Music City Sessions: Brandon Lay with Opening Act Alex Shillo Friday, Sept. 27 | 8:00pm

Growing up in Jackson, Tennessee, Brandon Lay lived out the songs of John Mellencamp, Alan Jackson and Bruce Springsteen. He played sports during the day, fixed up cars after school and eventually wrote down his experiences in song, telling not only his story, but the story of other kids raised in small town America.

Now signed to EMI Records Nashville, he’s able to share those songs on a grand scale, beginning with his autobiographical debut single “Speakers, Bleachers and Preachers.” Inspired directly by Brandon’s life, the song spells out right in its title the three chief influences that shaped him.

There’s nowhere Brandon feels more at home than in the recording studio. Upon signing a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell in 2013, he absorbed all he could about studio production, and when it came time to cut his own music, teamed up with producer Paul DiGiovanni to co-produce all of his songs, a rare feat for a “new” artist.

With his album already finished, Brandon—who cites Class of ‘89 alums like Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson as country heroes—is focusing on taking the songs on the road. He’s already opened for artists like Dierks Bentley and Old Dominion, and is playing fairs and festivals around the country, bringing his story of “Speakers, Bleachers and Preachers” to fans who may have grown up the same way.

“I knew coming out of the gate as a new artist that my first single had to say a lot about who I am and where I come from. Hopefully, people will hear it and fill in their own blanks,” Brandon says. “That’s my goal: for listeners to know that every line I’m singing, I’ve lived, and for them to find their own story in my songs.”

Frank Warren: Post Secret Thursday, Oct. 3 | 8:00pm

Frank Warren demonstrates the power of sharing your hopes, dreams, fears and failures and how PostSecret became the catalyst for his passionate commitment to mental health advocacy.

What started as a community mail art project in which people anonymously share never-before- voiced secrets has since captured our collective imagination and evolved into a worldwide phenomenon. Several New York Times best-selling books, national art exhibits and an album and theatrical production later, Frank’s PostSecret website has become the most visited ad-free blog in the world, honored with multiple Webbys for “Best Blog on the Internet.”

PostSecret has also raised over $1,000,000 for suicide prevention and earned Frank a Mental Health Advocacy Lifetime Achievement Award.

In Frank’s interactive multimedia event, PostSecret Live, he engages audiences with the inspiring, funny and at times heartbreaking stories behind the secrets. As he delves into how the project led to his ardent involvement in suicide awareness, Frank demonstrates that by sharing our personal struggles, we can help each other and release our burden.

Thank you to UCONN Stamford for Co-Sponsoring this show.

“I feel like I’ve got a loaded cannon,” says up-and-coming Warner Music Nashville artist Cale Dodds. “Be honest and be excellent was always my main goal, but things took a turn when I really started fueling the music with my truth.”

In 2019, that turn is becoming more and more apparent. After scoring early success with fans via streaming platforms and out on the road, the preamble to Dodds’ career is over, and the first chapter is set to begin. He’s got a brand new single and some of the biggest live shows of his career on tap. And if he’s honest, Dodds likes where this is going.
