Click here for more details! \nA.J. Croce performs Croce Plays Croce\, a special night of music featuring a complete set of classics by his late father Jim Croce\, some of his own tunes\, and songs that influenced both him and his father. This special event features such timeless songs as “Operator”\, “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim”\, “Time in a Bottle” (a song written for A.J.)“\, Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy)”\, and “Lovers Cross”\, to name a few. \nThe Croce Plays Croce 50th Anniversary show features a legendary band (including drummer Gary Mallaber\, bassist David Barard\, guitar/violin James Pennebaker) and a moving multi-media presentation accompanying Jim’s songs (which on the previous tour included memorable hits\, “Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels)”\, “Time in a Bottle\,” and others). 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 \nA.J. Croce’s 30-year touring and recording career has produced ten studio albums that have been released via both major and independent labels\, and have charted 20 Top 20 singles and all ten albums on the radio including on Top 40\, Americana\, and Blues. A virtuoso piano player\, he has performed at a TED Talk and gave a master class at the University of Barcelona. Croce has performed on major talk shows and news programs including The Late Show\, The Tonight Show\, The Today Show\, CNN\, MTV\, and VH1. He’s toured with such esteemed artists as Willie Nelson\, Lenny Kravitz\, Earth\, Wind\, and Fire\, and B.B. King. While his last album\, Just Like Medicine\, paired him with producer and soul legend Dan Penn and an all-star cast of players and guests like Vince Gill and Steve Cropper\, his new album was born of memories — of favorite artists and shows\, but mostly\, of late-night gatherings with groups of friends\, many of them fellow musicians\, with Croce at the piano taking requests. 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:20231201T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231201T200000 DTSTAMP:20260417T120853 CREATED:20230505T131755Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231108T004831Z UID:5620-1701460800-1701460800@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:Cherish the Ladies "A Celtic Christmas" DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall presents\nCherish the Ladies “A Celtic Christmas”\nDecember 1st\, 2023\, 8 PM\nThe Mary Seaton Room\, Kleinhans Music Hall \nOne of the most engaging and successful ensembles in the history of Celtic music\, Cherish The Ladies have shared timeless Irish traditions with audiences worldwide for over thirty years.

Choro[vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nAbout Bokyung Byun\nPraised by Classical Guitar Magazine as “confident and quite extraordinary\,” Korean guitarist\, Bokyung Byun enjoys a reputation as one of the most sought-after guitarists of her generation. Byun holds the distinction of being the first female winner of the prestigious JoAnn Falletta International Guitar Concerto Competition\, where Falletta herself described  Byun’s performance as “stunning\, showcasing her gorgeous tone\, immaculate technique\, and sophisticated musicianship.” This win is among many wherein Byun excelled in the competitive circuit\, including winning the grand prize at the Guitar Foundation of America International Concert Artist Competition\, known as the most prestigious guitar competition in the world. \nA bevy of orchestras\, festivals\, workshops\, and guitar societies look to Byun for solo performances and masterclasses. In recent seasons\, Byun has performed as a soloist with orchestras\, including the Buffalo Philharmonic\, the Utah Symphony\, West Los Angeles Symphony\, New Juilliard Ensemble\, the Aspen Music Festival Orchestra\, among others. Her solo recital highlights include performances at the Kumho Young Artist Series\, Philadelphia Guitar Festival\, Aspen-Salida Concert Series\, Toronto Guitar Weekend\, Guitar Montréal\, Ellnora | The Guitar Festival\, and San Diego Guitar Festival. She was acclaimed for performing “eloquently through a diverse and challenging program\,” by Michelle Fratus\, president of the board of the Knoxville Guitar Society\, and having “confidence\, passion\, excellent projection and great dynamic contrast” by Heather Morand Clark\, president of the Guitar Society of Toronto. \nCommitted to expanding the role of a 21st-century musician\, Byun’s concert program often features contemporary music alongside traditional repertoire. As Byun herself says\, “it’s vital and exciting to audiences for concerts to join the new with the old. For guitar music to continue to grow\, I believe that new works must actively be cultivated in programming\, and it is my hope that audiences leave my performances with new experiences.” This skill at navigating both classic repertoire and fresh work has led her to co-found Sounding Board: The New Music Initiative for Guitarists and Composers. The project focuses on promoting collaborative relationships between composers and performers to create new works for guitar\, and its inaugural festival in Besançon\, France in 2019 has been praised as “extraordinary\, in the strict sense of the word\,” by La Presse de Gray in France. \nByun’s debut recording in 2020 has been praised by Soundboard Magazine as “a very beautiful disc. From the first notes of the “Gallarda” from Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Escarraman\, we are treated to extraordinary musicianship\, technical assurance\, and beauty of sound.” American Record Guide says “Byun’s interpretation enlivens them with creative phrasings\, articulations\, spacing\, and dynamics\, which take the listener beyond most performances I have heard.” \nBorn in Seoul\, Korea\, Byun began playing guitar at the age of six. At eleven\, she took the stage for her first solo recital\, leading to an early start in her teen years performing numerous concert tours around Korea\, to enthusiastic response\, including millions of views on YouTube. By her teen years\, she had gained national attention for first-prize finishes in three renowned competitions: the Korea Guitar Association\, the Music Association of Korea\, and the Guitar Foundation of America International Youth Competition. \nByun soon moved to the United States\, where she briefly studied in Los Angeles before moving to New York City\, where she entered The Juilliard School at the age of sixteen. She holds Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees from The Juilliard School and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Southern California. She is grateful to the masterful instruction of her pedagogues\, who include Scott Tennant\, William Kanengiser\, Chen Zhi\, Tae-soo Kim\, and Sharon Isbin. \nIn 2020\, Byun co-founded Guitarlab which has provided an innovative online learning platform offering cutting-edge classes designed for young professionals around the world. Byun is currently on the guitar faculty of California State University Fullerton. She is sponsored by Augustine Strings and plays a guitar by Dieter Mueller (2019).

They will each play a set of their own songs.  Tinsley\, an elder statesman of the Blues world\, will perform many of his most popular songs from his twenty albums\, plus some delta blues and classics on his National Steel and Martin acoustic guitars.  Marcia\, a five-time Grammy nominee\, will play the piano and sing her often raucous and sometimes touching original songs full of the characters and places that shaped her.  They will weave the music together with stories from their years on stage and on the road.  Finally\, they will come together as a duo to close the night playing songs together and swapping tales of their travels and travails.  \nAbout Marcia Ball\n“Fifty years have passed in a flash\,” says pianist\, songwriter\, and vocalist Marcia Ball of her long and storied career.  Ball\, the 2018 Texas State Musician Of The Year\, has won worldwide fame and countless fans for her ability to ignite a full-scale roadhouse party every time she takes the stage. Born in Orange\, Texas and raised in Vinton\, Louisiana\, her deep Acadian heritage and a lifetime of absorbing Gulf Coast rhythm and blues is evident in her original songs and the classics she chooses to cover.  This has made her a one-of-a-kind favorite with music lovers all over the world.  With each new release\, her reputation as a profoundly soulful singer\, a boundlessly talented pianist and a courageous\, inventive songwriter continues to grow. Her love of the road has led to years of soul-satisfying performances at festivals\, concert halls and clubs. \nIn Marcia’s most recent album\, Shine Bright\, she has put together the most musically substantial\, hopeful and uplifting set of songs of her five-decade career.  Produced by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) and recorded in Texas and Louisiana\, Shine Bright contains twelve songs (including eight originals)\, ranging from the title track’s rousing appeal for public and private acts of courage to the upbeat call to action of Pots And Pans\, a song inspired by renowned Texas political writer and humorist Molly Ivins.  From the humorous advice of Life Of The Party to the poignantly optimistic World Full Of Love\, the intensity of Ball’s conviction never wavers while\, simultaneously\, the fun never stops.  “It is a ridiculously hopeful\, cheerful record\,” she says\, in light of some of the album’s more serious subject matter.  The secret\, according to Ball “is to set the political songs to a good dance beat.” \n“A welcome ray of sunshine…Ball is a killer pianist\, a great singer and songwriter. Potent blues\, sweet zydeco\, soulful\, fast and furious Texas boogie…heartfelt\, powerful and righteous.” – Billboard \nMarcia grew up in a family whose female members all played piano and she began taking lessons at age five\, playing old Tin Pan Alley and popular music tunes from her grandmother’s collection.  But it wasn’t until she was 13 that Marcia discovered the power of soul music.  One day in 1962\, she sat amazed as Irma Thomas performed on a show at the Municipal Auditorium in New Orleans and delivered the most spirited and moving performance the young teenager had ever seen.  A few years later she attended Louisiana State University and after dropping out to explore the brave new hippie world of the late 1960s\, she was invited to try out for a blues-based rock band called Gum.  She made the cut and her future was set. \nIn 1970\, Ball left Baton Rouge for San Francisco.  Her car broke down in Austin\, and while waiting for repairs she fell in love with the city and decided to stay.  It wasn’t long before she was performing in local clubs with a band called Freda And The Firedogs\, a group that pioneered the Progressive Country movement\, which attracted many musicians and significant media attention to Austin.   It was around this time that she discovered Professor Longhair\, the seminal New Orleans piano player.  “Once I found out about Professor Longhair\,” recalls Ball\, “I knew I had found my direction.” \n“Marcia Ball plays two-fisted New Orleans barrelhouse piano and sings in a husky\, knowing voice about all the trouble men and women can get into on the way to a good time.” – The New York Times \nWhen Freda And The Firedogs broke up in 1974\, Ball launched her solo career and began touring outside of Texas and Louisiana.  She signed with Capitol Records in 1977\, debuting with the country-rock album Circuit Queen.  As she created and honed her own sound\, she released six critically acclaimed titles on the Rounder Records label during the 1980s and 1990s.  In 1990\, Ball—collaborating with Angela Strehli and Lou Ann Barton—recorded the hugely successful Dreams Come True on the Antone’s label.  At the end of 1997\, Marcia finished work on a similar “three divas of the blues” project for Rounder\, this time in the distinguished company of Tracy Nelson and her longtime inspiration\, Irma Thomas.  The CD\, Sing It!\, was released in 1998 and was nominated for a Grammy Award. \nMarcia Ball has appeared many times on national television over the years\, including the PBS special In Performance At The White House along with B.B. King and Della Reese\, Austin City Limits and HBO’s Treme.  She performed in Piano Blues\, the film directed by Clint Eastwood included in Martin Scorsese’s The Blues series which aired on PBS television nationwide in 2003.  Marcia also appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman with The New Orleans Social Club\, where she not only reached millions of people\, but also helped to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina.  In 2012\, she had a role in the independent film Angels Sing starring Harry Connick\, Jr.\, Lyle Lovett and Willie Nelson.  In 2017 she performed on NPR’s A Jazz Piano Christmas\, live from The Kennedy Center in Washington\, D.C. \nBall joined Alligator Records in 2001 with the release of the critically acclaimed Presumed Innocent.  The CD won the 2002 Blues Music Award for Blues Album Of The Year.  Her follow-up\, So Many Rivers\, was nominated for a Grammy Award\, and won the 2004 Blues Music Award for Contemporary Blues Album Of The Year as well as the coveted Contemporary Blues Female Artist Of The Year award.  Her next release\, Live! Down The Road\, released in 2005\, also garnered a Grammy nomination\, as did 2008’s Peace\, Love & BBQ (the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart).  She holds eleven Blues Music Awards\, ten Living Blues Awards\, and five Grammy Award nominations.  2010’s Grammy-nominated Roadside Attractions and 2014’s The Tattooed Lady And The Alligator Man successfully grew her fan base even further. \nShe has been inducted into both the Gulf Coast Music Hall Of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall Of Fame.  The Texas State legislature named her the official 2018 Texas State Musician.  In 2018\, Marcia was inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame. \n“She’s as perfect as an artist can be.” – The Houston Chronicle \nSince March of 2020 and the onset of the COVID pandemic and subsequent lock-down\, Marcia has filled her time with work on a nonprofit organization she co-founded called HOME – Housing Opportunities for Musicians and Entertainers\, which pays rent and utilities for older musicians in the Austin area.  HOMEaustin.org.  She also improved her streaming and virtual performance abilities enough to participate in many on-line fundraising efforts throughout the year.  She put her domestic skills to work making masks.  She and her husband Gordon got a dog to replace their dear Lily.  She has written songs and  she is collaborating on a musical play which she hopes becomes a real live show in the near future. \nAnd she’s getting the band ready to get back out on the road.  “I still love the feel of the wheels rolling\,” she says\, “and the energy in a room full of people ready to go wherever it is we take them.” \n  \nAbout Tinsley Ellis\n Georgia troubadour Tinsley Ellis has been immersed in music his whole life. Born in Atlanta 1957 and raised in southern Florida\, he acquired his first guitar at age seven\, inspired by seeing The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. Like many kids his age\, Ellis discovered the blues through the back door of British Invasion bands like The Yardbirds\, Cream and The Rolling Stones as well as Southern rockers like the Allman Brothers Band. 20 albums (and millions of miles traveled) later on record labels such as Alligator and Capricorn\, Ellis has become an elder statesman of the blues world. \nWith his new project Tinsley Ellis – Acoustic Songs And Stories\, Ellis performs many of his most popular songs (plus delta blues and classics by artists like Gregg Allman\, Bob Dylan and Leo Kottke) on his 1937 National Steel and 1969 Martin D-35. Ellis weaves the music together with interesting and sometimes ribald stories from over 40 years of a life spent on stages and in motels and truck stops. Ellis shows no signs of slowing down and is headed your way with his newest and perhaps most unique project.

All tickets will be refunded in full. Please contact the Box Office with any questions at (716) 885-5000.\n\nKleinhans Music Hall is pleased to welcome Habib Koité and Bamada\, with opening act the African American Cultural Center Dance and Drummer Company\, to the Mary Seaton Room on Thursday\, November 17th at 7:30 PM. \nOne of Africa’s most popular and recognized musicians\, Habib Koité is a modern troubadour with extraordinary appeal because Koité’s musicianship\, wit and wisdom translate across cultures. Hailing from the musically prolific West African nation of Mali\, the guitarist and composer has been named the biggest pop star of the region by Rolling Stone. Over the past decade\, his artistry and magnetic personality have made him an international star\, delighting audiences the world over\, and placing him firmly among the leading figures in contemporary world music. Bonnie Raitt proclaims\, “first there was Hendrix\, then Stevie Ray\, and now Habib.” \nHabib’s much-anticipated new release\, Kharifa\, was recorded entirely in Bamako. The sound of Mali\, its rich and diversified musical traditions\, and its instruments permeate the music of this superb project. It can be said that the Malian guitarist has matured\, evolved\, while once again successfully keeping one foot firmly anchored in the past. The original compositions and covers that form the backbone of this new album reflect the griot’s open spirit\, his willingness to travel through the rich Malian heritage while building the foundations of a resolutely modern music\, also influenced by Western rock and folk. \nOften compared to Eric Clapton\, the Malian reveals himself to be closer to a JJ Cale\, in his manner of occupying space with the guitar\, playing the note rather than notes\, allowing arpeggios to flow through the percussion\, caressing while directing with true virtuosity\, the rhythmic breath of each track on the album. \nHabib Koité takes his time. \nThis shows in his interest and involvement in everyday life in Bamako. Without ever denying the problems that plague his city and country – pollution\, poverty\, idleness\, insalubrity\, disease – Habib remains resolutely optimistic\, hopeful\, fighting against intolerance\, ignorance and obscurantism. While Mandé talks about reconciliation\, Kharifa calls for accountability of each individual. “Life is a daily struggle” he sings. \n  \nThanks to our Promotional Partner\, The African American Cultural Center.

His incredible journey spans five-and-a-half decades\, and includes – but is not limited to – adventures with Bob Dylan\, George Harrison\, Jerry Garcia\, the Grateful Dead\, Emmylou Harris\, Bonnie Rait and music and life lessons from seminal blues guitarist Reverend Gary Davis\, who claimed the young Bromberg as a son. \nA musician’s musician\, Bromberg’s mastery of several stringed instruments (guitar\, fiddle\, Dobro\, mandolin)\, and multiple styles is legendary\, leading Dr. John to declare him an American icon.  In producing John Hartford’s hugely influential Aereo-Plain LP\, Bromberg even co-invented a genre: Newgrass. \nAdd in a period of self-imposed exile from his passion (1980-2002)\, during which he became a renowned violin expert\, and Wilmington\, Delaware’s cultural ambassador; top that off with a triumphant return to music-making\, and you have an amazing tale leading back to one place: the blues. \nThe David Bromberg Quintet eventually emerged\, settling into its current lineup of Mark Cosgrove (guitar\, mandolin\, vocals)\, Nate Grower (fiddle\, mandolin\, guitar\, vocals)\, Josh Kanusky (drums\, vocals)\, and newest member\, Suavek Zaniesienko (bass\, vocals).  Joining David’s core band are keyboardist extraordinaire Dan Walker on piano\, organ and accordion\, a stellar horn section of Bromberg regulars like Birch Johnson (trombone)\, Jon-Erik Kellso (trumpet)\, Matt Koza (tenor sax) and Bob Stewart (tuba) with Larry Campbell on mandolin and pedal steel. \nThe new album\, Big Road\, gives Bromberg fans the most intimate portrait to date of David and the band\, musically and visually. Featuring twelve new tracks\, five hi-def performance videos and a mini-documentary detailing the album’s creation.  We think you’ll agree that this intimate performance with the David Bromberg Quintet is a trip worth taking.
