It feels just as home in the sixties as the TikTok age. Haley Reinhart brandishes such a voice. The expansive scope of her range comes into full focus on her 5th solo release\, Off The Ground. \nIn many ways\, Haley began working towards the album and her artistry as a child. Mom and dad share a “Midnight Band\,” and unsurprisingly\, their daughter would sing before she could talk. She spent countless hours engaged in rhyming games with her mom or locked into a call-and-response as a baby with her father. \nOpening the evening is Cami Clune\, a singer/songwriter from Buffalo\, NY. Incorporating elements from pop\, rock\, and country\, her sound is a unique fusion of genres. She first captured national attention as a semi-finalist on Season 19 of NBC’s The Voice. In her blind audition\, she received a 4 chair turn with a block\, the only contestant her season with those combined accolades. She chose John Legend as her coach\, but ultimately landed a spot on Kelly Clarkson’s team\, as she used her only steal for Cami in the knockout round. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAbout Haley Reinhart\nIn 2009\, Haley was the first songstress to join her high school jazz band to perform at both the Montreux and Umbria jazz festivals. Her fascination with all things classic continued as she became a fan of The Beatles\, Janis Joplin\, Ella Fitzgerald and Sly & The Family Stone. These influences led her to record at Sunset Sound\, paying homage to classic rock and pop hits from the late sixties titled. Haley performs regularly with Robby Krieger of The Doors among other rock legends. \nThe double platinum-certified Chicago-born/Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter exudes an empowering level of charisma and confidence earned by a quiet\, decade-long grind. Haley landed third place and became a fan favorite on season 10 of American Idol. She recently returned to AI\, this time as a mentor\, coaching contestants in the Soul Genre. \nHer dynamic presence has powered four previous solo albums— Listen Up! [2012] Interscope\, Better [2016] Red Dot\, What’s That Sound? [2017] Concord\, and Lo- Fi Soul [2019] on her own label. Haley has been known to leave her mark on countless films and commercials\, singing in the new Mazda ad\, for Chase Bank\, as well as on TV shows including Love Island\, Gossip Girl\, Nashville\, Riverdale\, The Wilds\, America’s Got Talent\, Dancing with the Stars\, and more. \nMeanwhile\, her take on the Elvis Presley classic “Can’t Help Falling In Love” generated a remarkable 325 million Spotify streams and 100 million YouTube views within a few years of its release. What started off as a session sung for an Extra gum commercial turned out to be a chart-topping-radio hit and touring sensation by serendipity. Haley’s remake peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 31 on the Billboard Adult Pop Airplay chart. \n \nHaley has also collaborated regularly with other talented musicians. She’s featured on Postmodern Jukebox’s highest-viewed videos on YouTube (over 300 million views) and has dueted with movie star Jeff Goldblum on two tracks from his chart-topping jazz standards collection\, The Capitol Studios Sessions. Haley joined Jeff for an unforgettable performance on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! In 2019\, she continued pushing boundaries by lending her voice and songwriting skills to Vicetone’s EDM dance hit “Something Strange\,” as well as an EDM version of Radiohead’s “Creep” with DJ Naeleck in 2022. \nExpanding her oeuvre\, Haley voices a young boy named Bill Murphy on the Netflix hit animated series based on comedian Bill Burr’s childhood – F Is For Family (seasons one through five out now)\, and made her acting debut in the #1 hit Robert Rodriguez Netflix film We Can Be Heroes\, where she played a superhero whose voice is her power. \nBoth 2022 and 2023 were banner years. In September 2022\, her newest EP\, Off The Ground\, released worldwide. The extended play features seven original songs all either written or co-written by Haley. From Fall 2022 to Fall 2023\, she headlined the “Off The Ground Tour” and played to rave reviews in over 100 theaters and rock rooms throughout North America. \nIn 2024\, Haley has taken her career to another level. After spending the first half of the year writing and recording a new album\, Haley will embark on another leg of the “Off The Ground” headline tour\, which will run from May to November 2024\, with a stop in Buffalo NY. The show is just beginning. \nLIMITED VIP MEET & GREET TICKET AVAILABLE! \nJoin Haley Reinhart for a memorable Meet & Greet experience prior to the performance at Kleinhans Musica Hall!

Most notably\, she took on the lead role in the powerful short film “Blink of an Eye\,” shedding light on the pressing issue of opioid abuse\, while also contributing her vocal talents to the title track. \nSince her run on The Voice\, Cami has been diligently honing in on her craft\, focusing on writing and recording her own original music. She is so excited to share what she has been working on with the world. This past year\, she ventured into new musical territory by forming “Cami and The Fringe\,” a band that has not only sparked her creativity but also facilitated her artistic growth. Cami’s single “Rewind” is to be released June 14th. She cannot wait for you to hear this song\, as she feels that it marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her musical journey.

In his observant\, often hilarious work\, Laymon does battle with the personal and the political: race and family\, body and shame\, poverty and place. His savage humor and clear-eyed perceptiveness have earned him comparisons to Ta-Nehisi Coates\, Alice Walker\, and Mark Twain. He is the author of the award-winning memoir Heavy\, the groundbreaking essay collection How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America\, and the genre-defying novel Long Division. \nLaymon’s memoir Heavy won the 2019 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction and was named one of the Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years by The New York Times. A personal narrative that illuminates national failures\, Heavy is defiant yet vulnerable—an insightful\, often comical exploration of weight\, identity\, art\, friendship\, and family. \nABOUT THE BOOK  \n*Named a Best Book of the Year by the New York Times\, Publishers Weekly\, NPR\, Broadly\, Buzzfeed (Nonfiction)\, The Undefeated\, Library Journal (Biography/Memoirs)\, The Washington Post (Nonfiction)\, Southern Living (Southern)\, Entertainment Weekly\, and The New York Times Critics* \nIn this powerful\, provocative\, and universally lauded memoir—winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal and finalist for the Kirkus Prize—genre-bending essayist and novelist Kiese Laymon “provocatively meditates on his trauma growing up as a black man\, and in turn crafts an essential polemic against American moral rot” (Entertainment Weekly). \nIn Heavy\, Laymon writes eloquently and honestly about growing up a hard-headed black son to a complicated and brilliant black mother in Jackson\, Mississippi. From his early experiences of sexual violence\, to his suspension from college\, to time in New York as a college professor\, Laymon charts his complex relationship with his mother\, grandmother\, anorexia\, obesity\, sex\, writing\, and ultimately gambling. Heavy is a “gorgeous\, gutting…generous” (The New York Times) memoir that combines personal stories with piercing intellect to reflect both on the strife of American society and on Laymon’s experiences with abuse. By attempting to name secrets and lies he and his mother spent a lifetime avoiding\, he asks us to confront the terrifying possibility that few in this nation actually know how to responsibly love\, and even fewer want to live under the weight of actually becoming free.

Tickets are on sale now! \nThank you to our lead sponsor P&A Group\n \nAbout Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn\nBéla Fleck & Abigail Washburn\, “the king and queen of the banjo” (Paste Magazine)\, have a musical partnership like no other. Béla Fleck is a fifteen-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres\, and Abigail Washburn a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized it by combining it with Far East culture and sounds. The two met at a square dance\, began collaborating musically and eventually fell in love. Over the years\, they played together most visibly in the Sparrow Quartet alongside Ben Sollee and Casey Driessen and informally at a pickin’ party here\, a benefit there\, or occasionally popping up in each other’s solo shows. Fans of tradition-tweaking acoustic fare eagerly anticipated that Béla & Abigail would begin making music together as a duo. \nFleck has the virtuosic\, jazz-to-classical ingenuity of an iconic instrumentalist and composer with bluegrass roots. His collaborations range from his ground-breaking standard-setting ensemble Béla Fleck and the Flecktones to a staggeringly broad array of musical experiments. From writing concertos for full symphony orchestra\, exploring the banjo’s African roots\, to jazz duos with Chick Corea\, many tout that Béla Fleck is the world’s premier banjo player. Washburn has the earthy sophistication of a postmodern\, old-time singer-songwriter who has drawn critical acclaim for her solo albums.

In addition to being named a TED Fellow in 2012\, Abigail was recently named the first US-China Fellow at Vanderbilt University\, in addition to Carolina Performing Arts/Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s DisTil Fellow for 2018-2020. \nOn stage\, Fleck & Washburn will perform pieces from their Grammy-winning self-titled debut as well as their new record\, Echo in the Valley (Rounder 2017). With one eye on using the banjo to showcase America’s rich heritage and the other pulling the noble instrument from its most familiar arena into new and unique realms\, Bela & Abigail meet in the mean\, head-on\, to present music that feels wildly innovative and familiar at the same time. Whether at home\, on stage or on record\, their deep bond\, combined with the way their distinct musical personalities and banjo styles interact\, makes theirs a picking partnership unlike any other on the planet.

He is as close as one gets to a contemporary Dickens in the scope of his celebrity and the level of his achievement.” —TIME \n\nJOHN IRVING has written fifteen novels over the course of his prolific career\, the majority of which have been international bestsellers. He has written some of the most acclaimed books of our time—among them The World According to Garp\, The Cider House Rules\, A Prayer for Owen Meany\, and A Widow for One Year. Born in Exeter\, New Hampshire\, in 1942\, his books explore themes of sexual difference and sexual intolerance\, inequalities and discrimination. \nABOUT THE BOOK\nFirst published in 1985\, The Cider House Rules is set in rural Maine in the first half of the twentieth century. The novel tells the story of Dr. Wilbur Larch—saint and obstetrician\, founder and director of the orphanage in the town of St. Cloud’s\, ether addict and abortionist. This is also the story of Dr. Larch’s favorite orphan\, Homer Wells\, who is never adopted.\n\n“Superb in scope and originality\, a novel as good as one could hope to find from any author\, anywhere\, anytime.

The 2 and a half hour plus show features classic tracks from Pink Floyd’s magnificent catalogue of albums\, including the Dark Side of the Moon\, The Wall\, Wish You Were Here\, Animals\, The Division Bell\, Meddle and much more. In 1994 the Division Bell Tour was the highest-grossing tour in rock music history\, playing to over 5 million people in 68 cities and proved to be the epic finale and notable footnote to one of the most influential rock bands in history. Taking to the stage to perform note for note renditions of all these classic Pink Floyd tracks is the band of musicians that audiences have become to love and respect worldwide over the years\, featuring long time guitarist/vocalist and musical director Damian Darlington\, who has performed well over 2500 Pink Floyd music related concerts throughout his career.

Appropriately titled\, this latest album is a subtle stylistic turn that builds on the commercial success of 2020’s Solid\, his highest charting release ever on the pop charts\, peaking in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200. \n“The urge to write again came from the joy of being back on the road\, performing in front of live audiences\,” explains Boney. “I had shut down creatively when the pandemic hit. It was the disruptive and disorienting detour we all took when the world locked down\, and that’s reflected in the more experimental directions some of the new music takes. The thing about a detour\, you may take a different route\, but you still get to your destination.” \nLike Solid\, Detour provides a welcome respite from an increasingly foreboding world filled with political strife. It’s a trip through James’ distinctive contemporary jazz/R&B landscapes\, layered in quicksilver watercolor images and cinematic set pieces. Detour represents the next extension of Boney James’ trademark blend of genres which includes blues\, soul\, roots\, classical\, art-pop and hip-hop. \n“There are some people who think I’m a legend\,” laughs Boney about his status as one of the best-kept secrets in music. “And others who have never heard of me. It’s kind of a nice place to live and play in. I do sense a great deal of positive energy towards the music I’ve been making recently and for that\, I’m tremendously grateful.” \n“Coastin’” featuring Lalah Hathaway\, a breezy ride through Malibu on the Pacific Coast Highway\, will be the first single at Urban Adult Contemporary radio. “I am so thrilled to finally have the opportunity to collaborate with Lalah\,” says Boney. “I am a huge fan and it was a complete joy to co-write this song and have her come over and sing this amazing performance.” \nJames’ new album gets underway with the title track\, a winding\, playful duet between sax and piano evoking a breezy\, leisurely drive on an open road\, that features some of Boney’s most adventurous playing.  “I close my eyes and listen\,” he says about choosing a name for a particular cut\, and “Detour” fits this one perfectly. “The title is my trying to poetically convey what I feel when I listen to the music.” \nThere are also “detours” along the way for a steamy\, sweaty summer day in a bluesy “Memphis\,” a shimmering glimpse of the aurora borealis via Boney’s chill-inducing soprano sax solo (“Northern Lights”) and even the fleeting present moment in the heartbeat which opens the closing “Blur\,” a wistful lullaby that still manages to point us to the future. \n“Bring It Back\,” the first Contemporary Jazz radio focus track\, features a patented warm Boney melody\, highlighted by a spirited funky point-counterpoint between James’ rhythmic tenor sax and buzzing West Coast new jazz musician Dontae Winslow’s punchy trumpet licks. “That interplay is one of my favorite moments on the album\,” says Boney. \n“Tribute” is a eulogy to Boney’s father\, an entertainment attorney who represented him for most of his life\, who died last October. It’s a rhythmically complex neo-classical meditation\, both “harmonically jazzy\,” but with a finger-snapping hip-hop pulse. “The Loop” takes a drumbeat from touring drummer Omari Williams (looped\, of course) recorded in mono directly to Boney’s iPhone and\, yes\, detours into a winding\, twangy Wes Montgomery-esque blues guitar solo that gently waxes and wanes like a rolling tidal wave. “It’s pretty wild\,” says Boney. There’s a seductive intimacy to the sax/bass duet in “Intention\,” an idea that came from production team Anakin & Vader. \nDetour was recorded largely at Boney’s L.A. home studio in his backyard (live drums and percussion were tracked at venerable Sunset Sound)\, with both regular collaborators like former band guitarist\, now an in-demand writer/producer\, Jairus “J-Mo” Mozee (Anderson.Paak\, Nicki Minaj\, Anthony Hamilton) and hot newcomer BeatsMadeByFresh aka Christian Frazier. Among the other musicians on the album are keyboardist Tim Carmon (Eric Clapton)\, longtime drummer Omari Williams and bassist Alex Al\, renowned percussionist Lenny Castro\, and guitarists Big Mike Hart and Paul Jackson Jr. \nNicknamed by bandmates while on tour in Oslo\, Norway\, after jokingly threatening to starve himself on a threadbare per diem\, Boney or Bones or Boneman (though his wife calls him Jimmy) has put in his proverbial 10\,000 hours as a musician\, performer\, writer and producer. At age 10\, the New Rochelle\, NY native picked up the sax after 2 years on the clarinet and never looked back\, parlaying his love of R&B –Motown\, Stevie Wonder\, Earth Wind & Fire\, Curtis Mayfield and Grover Washington\, Jr. — into a musical aesthetic. He turned pro before his 20th birthday and became an in-demand touring sax and keyboard player for Morris Day\, the Isley Brothers\, Teena Marie\, Bobby Caldwell\, Randy Crawford and many others. \nIncreasingly frustrated by playing other people’s music\, Boney launched his own solo career with 1992’s Trust on the indie Spindletop Records. His subsequent 17 studio albums – including a pair of Christmas records – have been released by Warner Bros.\, Verve and Concord\, with 1995’s Seduction\, 1997’s Sweet Thing and 1999’s Body Language all RIAA certified gold. In 2015\, Boney’s futuresoul spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and was the best-selling Contemporary Jazz Record of 2015. \nDuring his 30-year career\, Boney has earned four Grammy nominations (“I’m not gonna lie… I’d still love a statue\,” he says)\, two NAACP Image Award nominations and a Soul Train Award\, while a dozen of his albums have landed at #1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Album chart.  His collaborators in the past include a who’s who of R&B and soul: Raheem DeVaughn\, Faith Evans\, George Benson\, George Duke\, Dwele\, Al Jarreau\, Philip Bailey\, Anthony Hamilton\, Jaheim\, Eric Benét\, Dave Hollister\, Stokley Williams\, Kenny Lattimore and Angie Stone. \nFor the inimitable Boney James\, life begins at 60. The cat in the hat is back and better than ever\, enjoying life with his wife of 37 years\, actress/director Lily Mariye. \n“What drives me is my love of making music and my desire for people to hear what I’ve made\,” he says. “I still love the communal aspect of playing live. There’s nothing else like it.” URL:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/event/boney-james/ LOCATION:Kleinhans Music Hall\, 3 Symphony Circle \, Buffalo\, NY\, 14201\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/Press-Photo.png GEO:42.9025038;-78.8817523 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Kleinhans Music Hall 3 Symphony Circle Buffalo NY 14201 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3 Symphony Circle:geo:-78.8817523,42.9025038 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240312T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240312T193000 DTSTAMP:20260421T074507 CREATED:20230817T174058Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231221T171552Z UID:5766-1710271800-1710271800@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:Dervish DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall is pleased to present\nDervish\n“Dervish are simply brilliant. . they carry Irish history with them.”\n-The Guardian \nKleinhans Music Hall is pleased to present Dervish coming to the Mary Seaton Room on Tuesday\, March 12\, 2024 at 7:30 PM.

It was fan-demand for more\, and the camaraderie that A.J. felt with the audience\, the players\, and the connection to his father’s timeless music that inspired A.J. to embark on the 50th Anniversary tour for 2023. “The audience reaction has been so great\,” says A.J. “The shows we did last year were not only met with a huge response\, but I learned so much about what works and what resonates\, we knew we had to keep going.” \nJim Croce was an American folk singer with a short-lived professional recording and touring career\, and decades of posthumous fame as one of the greatest songwriters and artists ever.  With sales surpassing 50 million records\, including three #1 songs and 10 Top 10 hits\, Jim Croce’s short career and long-lived legacy are well-remembered through his era-defining standards like “Operator”\, “Time in a Bottle” and “Bad\, Bad Leroy Brown”. \nAbout A.J.

Croce revisits these musical evenings on By Request (out on Compass Records) with 12 personally curated covers that traverse decades and genres\, propelled by his spirited\, piano mastery and emotive vocals. With a rich catalog of original compositions A.J. first recorded and released a composition of his fathers with a never-before-recorded song “Name of the Game” on his Just Like Medicine release. In 2018 he covered the 1973 hit “I Got A Name” for a Goodyear commercial with Dale Earnhardt Jr. URL:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/event/croce-plays-croce/ LOCATION:Kleinhans Music Hall\, 3 Symphony Circle \, Buffalo\, NY\, 14201\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Croce-plays-Croce-Square.jpg GEO:42.9025038;-78.8817523 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Kleinhans Music Hall 3 Symphony Circle Buffalo NY 14201 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3 Symphony Circle:geo:-78.8817523,42.9025038 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240204T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240204T180000 DTSTAMP:20260421T074507 CREATED:20240117T154539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240201T194512Z UID:6006-1707069600-1707069600@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:Mohd Rafi DESCRIPTION:Mohd Rafi World Tour\nPresented by Gujarati Samaj of Buffalo-WNY and Chai \nCelebrating Rafi Sahab’s legacy of heartfelt romance and soulful melodies.  Featuring Shahid Rafi\, Neelanjana Ray\, Mohammed Salamat\, Priyanka Mitra\, Prakhar Ghosh\, Sammy M and Gautami R. \nFor tickets visit Spresh Indian Supermarket: 3355 Sheridan Drive\, Buffalo 14226.  Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door.
