The series includes more than fifty concerts from January through April, spanning multiple genres from across the globe. Highlights this season include Beach Boys cofounder and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Al Jardine, who will share stories about the Beach Boys’ music and sing along with his son Matt Jardine. Montreal-based scratch DJ and music producer Kid Koala, who is featured in the recently Grammy-nominated album Baby Driver (Music from the Motion Picture), will present a remarkable theatrical performance. He will reenact his graphic novel Nufonia Must Fall with several miniature stages, a cast of puppets, turntables, and the dynamic Afiara Quartet playing on the piano and string instruments. Americana country superstar Lyle Lovett will join forces with legendary singer-songwriter Robert Earl Keen for an unforgettable night of song and stories. Presented in coordination with MIM’s special exhibition, Ancient Musical Treasures from Central China: Harmony of the Ancients from the Henan Museum, pipa virtuosa Wu Man and the Huayin Shadow Puppet Band will perform stories of life in rural China, with shadow puppets, lutes, fiddles, and other traditional instruments. Guests can look forward to the return of several favorites to the MIM Music Theater, including “Father of Modern Soul Music” Booker T. Jones; Mongolian throat singing group Huun-Huur-Tu; fourteen-year-old jazz pianist prodigy Joey Alexander; and Karla Bonoff, one of the finest singer- songwriters of her generation. The series also welcomes some artists who will be performing at MIM Music Theater for the first time. New performers include blues guitarist and singer Joanne Shaw Taylor; jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard, featuring the E-Collective; Afro-Cuban jazz singer Daymé Arocena; and Canadian country singer-songwriter Lindi Ortega, who has been compared to classic country stars such as Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn.

Within the span of only seven years, the theater has been recognized as one of the top music venues of its size, anywhere in the world. It has received praise from audiences and musicians for its unparalleled intimate atmosphere and acoustically superb sound quality. “We have been invited to some of the world’s greatest venues like the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York, and also the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. But I tell you one thing, this Theater and this Museum are second to none,” says Allen Bailey, founder of Harlem Gospel Choir.

  • Billy Jonas and the Billy Jonas Band
    Billy Jonas and the Billy Jonas Band Throw out the rules when Billy Jonas hits the stage! It’s a musical conversation… a sonic celebration … a splendiferous gathering of old and young, because at a Billy Jonas show, the ensemble is… everyone. “My favorite instrument is the audience. I work to ‘tribalize’ the compositions … to create songs that provide an immediate opportunity, on first hearing, for the listener to join in, as if the song had been a part of their life for a long time.” – Billy Jonas A Billy Jonas concert is a "neo-tribal hootenanny" -- original "voice and percussion" -based songs with a generous dose of audience participation. The music mixes conventional instruments (guitar, bass, marimba) with homemade creations (using buckets and barrels, keys and cans, bells and body percussion). The New York Times has described Jonas’ songwriting as “witty, smart and raw”. Billy tailors both his song selection and its presentation to uniquely suit each audience. Its spirited, straightforward music that is accessible to anyone and everyone, regardless of age or cultural background. Jonas’ concerts are a magical mix of stagecraft and wholesome, open-ended, anything-can- happen spontaneity. Sing Out magazine says, “ …he engages the audience with a wild assortment of rhythm and word play, leaving them entertained and a little more in touch with their spiritual selves.” Jonas is known for his ability to facilitate connection and community while fostering inspiration and FUN! Billy Jonas has shared stages with many renowned artists, including Alison Krauss, Peter Yarrow, Keb' Mo', Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kathy Mattea, Paul Winter, Michele Shocked, Justin Bieber, Ani DiFranco, David Wilcox, Richard Thompson, and Pete Seeger.

  • Kathy Mattea
    KATHY MATTEA Kathy Mattea has enjoyed the kind of success many artists only dream of: two GRAMMY wins, four CMA Awards, five gold albums, and a platinum collection of her greatest hits. Mattea’s dream almost ended, though, when she entered her 50s and found her voice changing. As much as she wanted to ignore the warning signs, there was no getting around the fact that she simply wasn’t hitting the notes she used to. Taking the stage and giving anything less than her best wasn’t an option, so as far as Mattea was concerned, there were only two choices: re-learn to sing, or walk away forever. “The hardest thing was facing the question of whether or not I could continue,” she reflects. “I had to be willing to come to a ‘no,’ to accept that my singing voice just might not be something I enjoyed anymore. There were days when I believed it was very likely I wouldn’t be able to go on.” Mattea persevered, though, undergoing intensive vocal training and emerging with the most poignant album of her career, ‘Pretty Bird.’ Recorded over the course of a year with roots music wizard Tim O’Brien at the helm, ‘Pretty Bird’ draws its strength not only from Mattea’s touching performances, but also from her uncanny ability to weave seemingly disparate material into a cohesive whole. These are the songs that helped her reclaim her voice, and though they’re drawn from a wide swath of writers, genres, and eras, she inhabits each as fully as if it were her own.

    RED HOUSE RECORDS Publicity Contact: Angie Carlson • [email protected] • (651) 644-4161 Robin & Linda Williams “Back 40” The Americana pioneers celebrate forty years of performing! RHR-CD-274 • Release Date: October 22, 2013 ________________________________________ "Underlying their sound are lyrics that pluck at the nerve center of emotional experiences." - Billboard "The Williamses are able to sum up a life in a few details with moving completeness." - The Washington Post __________________________________________ With a rich career spanning four decades, Virginia- based duo Robin & Linda Williams have made it their mission to perform the music that they love, a robust blend of bluegrass, folk, old-time and acoustic country that combines wryly observant lyrics with a wide-ranging melodicism. Today some might call it "Americana," but these two revered music masters were living and breathing this elixir 20 years before that term was turned into a radio format. With the release of their new studio album Back 40, out on October 22 on Red House Records, the Williams celebrate their musical legacy with a newly recorded album that features fresh treatments of their early classics (many from albums long out of print) and favorites by other writers, as well as a brand new song, "The Old Familiar House on Christmas Day." Produced in Nashville by Grammy-winning producer Jim Rooney (Nanci Griffith, Iris DeMent, Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, etc), the Williams are backed by the able trio of Todd Phillips (David Grisman Quintet, Tony Rice Unit) on standup bass, Al Perkins (Flying Burrito Brothers, Emmylou Harris & The Nash Ramblers) on Dobro and pedal steel, and bandmates Chris Brashear on mandolin and fiddle and Jim Watson (former Red Clay Rambler) on vocal harmony." Producer Jim Rooney says of the album, "I love listening to them sing this collection of songs.
