John Mceuen Brings with Him 45+ Years of Worldwide Performing with His Banjo, fiddle, Guitar, and Mandolin
John McEuen brings with him 45+ years of worldwide performing with his banjo, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin. Often referred to as 'the String Wizard', he weaves stories of his travels and family life (he has raised 7 kids), taking us through where his musical path has taken him. A founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1966, John instigated the 1972 classic Will the Circle Be Unbroken album, (inducted in to the Library of Congress as 'one of America's most important recordings). He has earned Emmy nominations, Grammy Awards, CMA acclaim, The Western Heritage Award, and many other accolades can be found on his website: www.johnmceuen.com. Proud to be an integral part of the first American band to go to Russia (in 1977!), John's love of performing is evident when during his shows he takes us 'behind the curtain' of the music world that so many of us know of only as listeners, and shows us how we have all been a part of it, more than we may know. McEuen's XM radio show, Acoustic Traveller, is in its 6th year, and you can find his new Americana Music Show on Syndicatednews.net (of which he is CEO) As winner of the 2010 Best of the West Performer award from the Folk Alliance organization, John's show is sure to be one enjoyed by all. He also won Best Bluegrass Album Grammy that year for his production of The Crow - Steve Martin). John in June of 2013 was honored with the Charlie Poole Lifetime Achievement Award in North Carolina. -

The Foghorn Stringband is the present day gold standard for real-deal hard-hitting genuine old-time American string band music, with nine albums, thousands of shows, over 15 years of touring under their belts, and an entirely new generation of roots musicians following their lead. American roots music is a diverse and never-ending well of inspiration, and Foghorn Stringband continually and obsessively draws from old-time, bluegrass, classic country, and Cajun music traditions in an ongoing quest to present a broad span of American historical music with an unparalleled youthful energy, joy, and virtuosity. The Foghorn Stringband is comprised four master performers and historians: -Caleb Klauder (vocals, mandolin, fiddle) - From Orcas Island, Washington -Reeb Willms (vocals, guitar) - From rural Farmer, Washington -Nadine Landry (vocals, upright bass) - From the Gaspé Coast, Eastern Quebec -Stephen ‘Sammy’ Lind (vocals, fiddle, banjo) - From Minneapolis, Minnesota Each member of Foghorn Stringband exemplifies the best of the roots music traditions from their respective native cultures. Caleb Klauder’s wistful, keening vocals and rapid- fire mandolin picking are as influenced by Southern roots music as much as they are by his upbringing in the sea islands of coastal Washington State. Reeb Willms hails from the wind swept Eastern farmlands of Washington. Her musical family and rural upbringing are are on display with every note she sings and every heart she breaks. -

Jeremy Kittel Band
Jeremy Kittel Band fiery blend of jazz, Celtic fiddling, and sultry world grooves “Outstanding Michigan Celtic-jazz-bluegrass fiddle whiz … “ — The Boston Globe “We’d call him a rising star, but he’s clearly already risen.“ — Detroit Free Press If you should run into Jeremy Kittel somewhere on this planet, ask him any question except “What’s your favorite style of music?” It’s not that he’ll be so offended as to reprimand you with his violin bow — on the contrary. As anyone who has seen him in concert can attest, his talent is matched by a kind of confident good nature that once spurred the Ann Arbor News to write, “If he didn’t come across as so nice, he’d be a little scary.” It’s just that Kittel, as someone who is truly steeped in a few very different musical traditions, has heard that question before … many times before, and it’s easy to understand why. When a musician is as likely to be found playing a ferocious set of reels in some dark pub in Ireland as he is likely to be found trading licks with a saxophonist at a hip New York City jazz club — and he is occasionally even seen doing such apparently odd-ball joining Turtle Island Quartet, Kittel was earning his masters things as exploring Indian classical music on stage at Carnegie degree in jazz performance at the Manhattan School of Music Hall — one starts to wonder … what is it that drives him? and skipping town on weekends to perform across the country Whatever the source of his inspiration may be, it has led to alongside fiddle legends Mark O’Connor and Darol Anger. -

Barbican Announces Rescheduled Concerts for 2021
For immediate release: Wednesday 27 May 2020 Barbican announces rescheduled concerts for 2021 The Barbican today announced that a selection of concerts that were due to take place at the Centre between March and July have now been rescheduled for 2021, subject to Government guidance. Huw Humphreys, Barbican’s Head of Music says: “This is an extraordinarily challenging time for the arts and artists. At the Barbican, we exist to bring artists together, to create together and to connect people across the world, and so this current situation goes against everything we’re here to do. By putting these rescheduled concerts on sale, we want to support artists and our partners in the music industry, and make sure we’re able to get up and running as soon as the guidance allows us to. Until then we are looking how we can stay connected to artists and audiences in different ways.” The rescheduled concerts and artists include: • Shabaka & the Ancestors, featuring Shabaka Hutchings, one of the foremost proponents of the current British jazz scene (now on 24 January 2021) • Irish-American vocalist and songwriter Aoife O’Donovan (now on 28 January 2021) • Celebrated violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter in recital performing Beethoven sonatas (now on 23 February 2021) • Singer, songwriter and composer Damon Albarn’s new project The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows (now on 30 March 2021) • A MoodSwing Reunion, featuring generation-defining jazz musicians and long-time collaborators Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride and Brian Blade (now -

New recycling initiatives now in effect: by Rob Pudner ffective immediately, Gallatin Solid Waste Management District (GSWMD) is accepting only plastic bottles with an imprinted #1 or #2 (typical- ly on the bottom) in addition to paper, aluminum and steel cans, and cardboard. Unfortunately, the nation as a whole currently lacks a market for plas- tics marked with #3 through #7–they’re either removed from the recycling stream locally to be sent to a landfill or they travel hundreds of miles to then be removed and sent to a landfill. [See end of article for accepted/unaccepted item guidelines]. Right now, Gallatin County has an opportunity to reduce its carbon footprint and increase the value of its recycling program by managing non-recyclable materials at our own landfill in Logan. We decided to take responsibility for our own waste rather than burning more fossil fuel simply to truck garbage across the country. ECommon plastics with a number one include beverage bottles, such as water bottles and soda bottles, salad dressing bottles, and some juice bottles. Plastics with a number two include both “natural” and “colored” containers suck as milk jugs and laundry detergent bottles. Plastics must be bottles with a neck–no clamshell containers (from berries or mixed salads) or tubs (cream cheese, yogurt, sour cream) even if they are imprinted with a #1 or #2. Because bottles tend to occupy a lot of space in our drop-off bins, we are asking recycling participants to first crush their bottles and then replace the caps. This focus on #1s and #2s requires extra vigilance from county resi- dents as non-recyclable materials contaminate collected loads and jeop- ardize the livelihood of the entire program.
