2021 Spring/Summer Series
Dear Patrons, Welcome back to live events at the Bologna Performing Arts Center! We are excited to have artists returning to our stage, and look forward to inviting you to attend shows again. Things will be a little different this spring and summer. Due to the ongoing nature of the pandemic, we are going to put each show on sale individually, about 4-6 weeks before each event. This allows us to make sure we are following the most recent executive orders, including audience capacity guidelines. Please refer to the on-sale dates for each artist in this brochure. Seating has been reduced for our Spring/Summer Series, and is being sold in staggered pairs and groups. We ask that you purchase all of the seats in the grouping to ensure that patrons are comfortable being seated together. At this time, all patrons are required to wear masks during their visit to the Bologna Performing Arts Center. All of our staff and volunteers will also wear masks, and do daily temperature checks and symptom monitoring. We ask you to please monitor your own health, and stay home if you do not feel well. We have also increased our cleaning and sanitation regimens. We have invested in new cleaning systems to ensure that the theater is totally sanitized prior to every performance. We encourage you to call us at 662-846-4625 or visit our website www.bolognapac.com for the latest health and safety operating guidelines prior to your visit. We are eager to resume presenting live events with this Spring/Summer Series.

During this time, songs like "Dancing in the Street" and "What's Going On?" targeted social issues in America and created a voice for African-American people through their messages. Events like the Mississippi Freedom Summer and Bloody Thursday inspired the artists at Motown to create these songs. Influenced by the cultural and social circumstances of the Civil Rights Movement, the musical output of Motown Records between 1959 and 1972 evolved from a sole focus on entertainment in popular culture to a focus on motivating social change through music.

The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh
The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh 10 NOWHERE TO RUN, Martha and the Vandellas Produced by Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier; written by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Eddie Holland Gordy 7036 1965 Billboard: #8 Holland-Dozier-Holland's greatest triumph? Extracting legendary music from a singer as distinctive as Levi Stubbs is one thing; pulling it out of a singer as moderately gifted as Martha Reeves is another. And "Nowhere to Run" is one of the definitive Motown 45s: huge drums and popping bass propel a riffing horn section, while the frantic lead vocal recites straight pop verses with a gospel bridge. HDH's deployment of echo and EQ enables the record to begin at the height of excitement and sustain it all the way through. Some elements of this arrangement -- the baritone sax undertow, particularly -- have almost the same feel as the lighter records being made in New Orleans in the mid-sixties. But what adds weight and power to "Nowhere to Run" ' s shrieking paranoia -- what makes it Motown is the rhythm section. Bassist James Jamerson is justly celebrated today as one of the two or three most creative players on that instrument ever, and there's as much to be said for drummer Benny Benjamin, another of the remarkably distinctive session players Motown never credited. On "Nowhere to Run," Benjamin simply explodes all over his tom-toms. Thanks to them, this relentlessly rhythmic record ranks with the most fearsome of all time.

Dancing in the Street”--Martha and the Vandellas (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell
“Dancing in the Street”--Martha and the Vandellas (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell Martha and the Vandellas Erudite music critic Dave Marsh has called it, “As pure a product of its day as anything Dylan or the Beatles ever imagined.” The song is “Dancing in the Street,” written by William Stevenson, Marvin Gaye, and Ivy Jo Hunter and recorded by Martha and the Vandellas in 1964. Since its release in July of ’64 (it would reach #2 on the Billboard pop chart by September), the song has gone on to become one of Gordy/Motown and pop music’s most definitive works and a powerful anthem, sometimes in spite of itself. The Martha of Martha and the Vandellas is Martha Reeves. She was born in Alabama in 1941 and raised in Detroit. She began singing with her friends Annette Beard and Rosalind Ashford, as the Del-Phi’s, while still in high school. They cut their first records in 1960. But stardom was not, at that time, in the cards. Not long after, however, and after Reeves briefly pursed a solo career, Reeves became the secretary to Mickey Stevenson, an exec at Detroit’s renowned Motown Records. Legend has it that, one day, label founder Berry Gordy, Jr. needed some backup singers for a session then in progress. Knowing of Reeves’ recording ambitions, he called her and her friends, Beard and Ashford, into the studio. The trio of ladies would end up singing back-up on two Marvin Gaye records, “Stubborn Kind of Fellow” and “Hitch Hike.” Under the moniker Martha and the Vandellas (a hybrid of Detroit’s Van Dyke Street and singer Della Reese’s first name), the revived group also quickly recorded their own single, “I’ll Have to Let Him Go.” Liking the end results, Gordy signed the group to their own contract in September 1962.

REVIEW What: Martha Reeves with the Vic High R & B Band and The
Adrian Chamberlain, Times Colonist Published: Sunday, June 25, 2006 REVIEW What: Martha Reeves with the Vic High R & B Band and The Midnights Where: Royal Theatre When: Friday June 23, 8 p.m. - - - One of Victoria's most remarkable music projects is an unlikely collaboration between a Motown star and a local high school. Martha Reeves's appearance at JazzFest International on Friday night marks a historical high point for the Vic High R & B Band. The group, led by ambitious music teacher Eric Emde, linked up with the Detroit star last year, culminating in a show at the Central Bar and Grill. This time the collaboration was bigger and better, with Reeves and her neo- Vandellas (the Vic High R & B Band) joining forces at the grand old Royal Theatre. Now almost 65, Reeves was in reasonably good voice and extremely high spirits, sashaying in a sequined white gown and sporting jumbo earrings shaped like musical notes. What was most amazing, however, is how well these high school musicians held their own in such a setting (they were also joined by their professional mentor band, The Midnights). Buoyed by a cheering crowd, no doubt stacked with family and friends, the teens proved that even white-bread Victoria can produce would- be Motowners so well-rehearsed and convincing, even Berry Gordy might do a double take. The show started off with a few Midnights/Vic High R & B tunes, including a convincing take on Stevie Wonder's Superstitious, sung well by keyboardist Duncan Meiklejohn. Then Reeves walked on to take over lead vocal duties, declaring: "I'm so proud to be working with these youngsters and this wonderful band." The expected trip down memory lane ensued, with baby boomers responding enthusiastically to chestnuts both minor (Come and Get These Memories) and huge (Jimmy Mack, Heatwave, Nowhere to Run and Dancing in the Streets).
