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. Teachers and mentors include Scott Tennant\, William Kanengiser\, Chen Zhi\, Tae-Soo Kim\, and Sharon Isbin. \nBokyung’s debut recording in 2020 has been praised by Soundboard Magazine as\, “a very beautiful disc…We are treated to extraordinary musicianship\, technical assurance\, and beauty of sound.” In 2022\, American Record Guide chose her Naxos Laurate Series recording as the Critics’ Choice Album\, remarking her style as “very reminiscent of Andres Segovia.” \nBokyung is currently on the guitar faculty of University of North Texas.

SUMMARY:Rosanne Cash
DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall and Soul of Buffalo Present:\nAn evening with Rosanne Cash\nwith John Leventhal\nWednesday\, September 24\, 2025\nThe Mary Seaton Room\nDoors at 5:30PM / Show at 7PM\nReserved Seating\n“One of the most ambitious and literary songwriters of her generation” (Rolling Stone)\, Rosanne Cash is America’s foremost musical woman of letters\, a literate and incisive artist whose poignant and distinctive vocals turn every song into a revelatory tale. A singular artist at the peak of her interpretive powers\, Cash has earned four Grammy awards—three for The River & The Thread (2014\, Blue Note)—and 12 additional nominations. Among many other accolades\, in 2021 she became the first woman to receive the Edward MacDowell award for music composition.  Her acclaimed 2010 memoir Composed has been described by the Chicago Tribune as “one of the best accounts of an American life you’ll likely ever read.”  Cash was recently elected as an Honorary American member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. \n“I consider artists to be in the service industry; the premier service industry for the heart and soul. I am curious to a pathological degree and the Sword of Time hangs over me\, and those two things— curiosity and the hourglass— make me feel more urgent than ever to connect\, to find community\, and to create. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks\, it only matters that what is unsaid and what is unseen is given form and has a voice.” \nIn 2023 Rosanne and her husband John Leventhal\, the six-time Grammy winning songwriter\, producer and life-long creative partner\, launched RumbleStrip Records\, an initiative to reexamine and reissue Rosanne’s early work\, originally released on Columbia / Sony Music\, and beyond. \nThe first two releases were a deluxe remastered version and first vinyl pressing of the 30th anniversary of Cash’s landmark album The Wheel and Leventhal’s debut solo album\, Rumble Strip (2024)\, released 50 years into his remarkable career. 2025 begins with The Essential Collection\, a new 40 song/40 year 2CD compilation highlighting Rosanne’s deep catalogue of songs including 10 number 1 hits. The album coincides with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibit\, Rosanne Cash: Time Is A Mirror.  The exhibit explores Cash’s more than 40-year journey as an artist\, songwriter and storyteller\, and how she has embodied both tradition and innovation across her musical career. It runs through March 2026. \nCash and Leventhal are currently writing the music to the theatrical production of Norma Rae.

SUMMARY:Vieux Farka Touré
DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall presents\nVieux Farka Touré\nwith special guest The Paul Kozlowski Quintent\nSunday\, April 27 at 3 PM\nMary Seaton Room \nWorld-renowned musician Vieux Farka Touré is often referred to as “the Hendrix of the Sahara\,” and has become a cultural ambassador for the people of Mali and the Sahel. His 2022 collaboration with Khruangbin\, “Ali\,” pays tribute to his father (legendary guitar player Ali Farka Touré)\, receiving international acclaim. Touré’s live performances are highly energized\, dazzling crowds with his charisma and talent. \nOpening for Vieux is the Paul Kozlowski Quintet! Paul C Kozlowski is an award-winning composer\, multi-instrumentalist\, and recording artist known for his genre-bending music as well as his scores for avant-garde theater productions.  Joining him onstage culled from Buffalo’s own talent pool will be Vanessa Snowden on violin\, David Phillips on cajon\, James Benders on bass\, and Nelson Rivera on woodwinds and percussion. They will be performing one set of Kozlowski’s compositions inspired by Mediterranean\, Baltic\, and North African sensibilities. \nAbout Vieux Farka Touré\nVieux was initially a drummer / calabash player at Mali’s Institut National des Arts\, but secretly began playing guitar in 2001. Ali Farka Touré was weakened with cancer when Vieux announced that he was going to record an album. Ali recorded a couple of tracks with him\, and these recordings\, which can be heard on Vieux’s debut CD\, were amongst his final ones. It has been said that the senior Touré played rough mixes of these songs when people visited him in his final days\, at peace with\, and proud of\, his son’s talent as a musician. \nIn 2005\, Eric Herman (still Vieux’s manager today) of Modiba Productions expressed an interest in producing an album for Vieux; this led to Vieux’s self-titled debut album\, released by World Village in 2007. Ali Farka Touré’s work to tackle the problem of malaria is continued as 10% of proceeds are donated to Modiba’s “Fight Malaria” campaign in Niafunké through which over 3000 mosquito nets have been delivered to children and pregnant women in the Timbuktu region of Mali. On this first album\, Vieux pays homage to his father and follows Ali’s musical tradition\, giving new versions of the West African music that is echoed in the American blues. The album features Toumani Diabaté\, as well as his late father. \nOn his second record\, Fondo on Six Degrees (2009)\, Vieux branched out and presented his own sound: while remaining true to the roots of his father’s music he uses elements of rock\, Latin music\, and other African influences. The album received a great deal of critical acclaim from across the globe\, and Vieux was clearly moving out of his father’s shadow. \nBy June 2010\, Vieux was performing at the opening concert for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. That month Vieux also released his first live album\, LIVE. His live performances are highly energized and Vieux is known for dazzling crowds with his speed and dexterity on the guitar\, as well as his palpable charisma and luminous smile\, both of which captivate audiences from all audiences in spite of any language barriers (though Vieux does speak 8 languages). \nIn 2011 Vieux released his 3rd studio album\, The Secret\, so named because the listener will hear the secret of the blues with a blend of generations from father to son. It was produced by guitarist Eric Krasno (of the Soulive trio) and features South African-born vocalist Dave Matthews\, Derek Trucks on electric slide guitar and jazz guitarist John Scofield. The title track is the last collaboration between Vieux and his late father. With the heralded release of The Secret\, Vieux Farka Touré has clearly established himself as one of the world’s rare musical talents and guitar virtuosos with a distinct style that always pays homage to the past while looking towards the future. \nVieux released The Tel Aviv Session (Cumbancha) in April 2012\, a collaborative project with Israeli superstar Idan Raichel dubbed ‘The Touré-Raichel Collective’ that has been hailed by fans and critics alike as a masterpiece and one of the best collaborative albums in the history of international music\, drawing comparisons to Ali Farka Touré and Ry Cooder’s legendary Talking Timbuktu album. \nIn 2013\, Vieux Farka Touré’s beautiful and critically acclaimed album Mon Pays was released as an homage to his homeland. Being that his native Mali had recently been splintered by territorial fighting between Tuareg and Islamic rebels since January 2012\, Mon Pays was devoted to reminding the world about the beauty and culture of his native Mali. Translated as ‘My Country\,’ this predominantly acoustic undertaking transformed into an artifact of cultural preservation. Two songs on the project – ‘Future’ and ‘Peace’ feature Sidiki Diabate’s kora leading an emotional charge complemented by Touré’s spectacular guitar work. Both tracks represent an important generational “passing of the torch” as Sidiki’s father\, Toumani is considered one of the greatest living kora masters and was a close friend of Vieux’s father Ali. Mon Pays has been widely hailed as the most mature and lovely record yet from one of this generation’s most exciting artists to come out of Mali and one of world music’s true rising stars. \nVieux reunited with Idan Raichel in Paris to record\, release and subsequently tour their 2nd collaborative album as The Touré-Raichel Collective in 2014. The result was yet another musical and critical triumph\, titled ‘The Paris Session’ (Cumbancha) revered by many as not just a musical gem for the ages\, but a powerful testimonial to the power of art and fraternity to transcend vast cultural and political divides. In 2015\, Vieux released another unexpected\, genre-bending collaborative album\, this time with New York-based singer Julia Easterlin\, aptly titled ‘Touristes’. The album shot to the top of the iTunes World chart and earned critical acclaim\, including that of John Schaefer (NPR) who called it “brilliant.” On April 7\, 2017\, Vieux released his next album ‘Samba’\, recorded live in front of a small audience at Applehead Studio in Woodstock\, NY. \nWhen the COVID pandemic hit in 2020 and all touring ground to a halt\, Vieux stayed focussed on his craft at home. He worked tirelessly in the studio he built at his family’s compound (which he named ‘Studio Ali Farka Toure’ in honor of his late father) to record his debut album for World Circuit Records/BMG\, the prestigious UK-based record label with whom his father recorded and released most of his own work. The resulting album\, ‘Les Racines’ (released June 2022)\, sees Vieux masterfully return to the deep roots of the Desert Blues music that his father introduced to the world and Vieux spent most of his career to date exploring\, experimenting with\, and expanding. 2022 also saw the release of a long-awaited collaborative album between Vieux and Houston-based psych-rock superstars Khruangbin called ‘Ali’ – an album on which the artists join forces to pay homage to Ali Farka Toure by reimagining eight of his songs together.  The album was an instant hit around the globe\, immediately getting millions of streams\, enormous critical acclaim and even earning the praise of Sir Elton John who called it “one of the albums of the year – absolutely wonderful music.” With each new project Vieux broadens his horizons\, embraces new challenges and further entrenches his reputation as one of the world’s most talented and innovative musicians. \nAs a passionate champion for the people of Mali and The Sahel\, Vieux founded the charity Amahrec Sahel in 2012. As part of Amahrec Sahel’s mission to support humanitarian reconstruction and culture\, the charity has provided school supplies for children\, supported an orphanage in Bamako and provided musical instruments for young musicians in Mali. Vieux is also the director of The Ali Farka Touré Foundation\, an international organization dedicated to the preservation of Ali’s legacy and the cultural growth of Mali.

SUMMARY:Joan Osborne
DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall presents\nJoan Osborne Sings the Songs of Bob Dylan\nThursday\, April 17\, 2025\nDoors at 6:30 PM｜Show at 7:30 PM\nMary Seaton Room\n“Like Bonnie Raitt\, a musician to whom she has often been compared\, Ms. Obsborne is a fiercely intelligent\, no-nonsense singer-songwriter who is allergic to traditional pop sentimentality\, though hardly devoid of feeling… She treats Mr. Dylan as fellow troubadour and roustabout\, inventing the rules while traveling along an endless road. Mr. Dylan’s songs are so deeply ingrained in the culture\, it’s a wonder more singers haven’t devoted entire concerts to his songs.” (The New York Times)\nAbout Joan Osborne\nOn her tenth studio album\, the masterful Trouble and Strife\, Joan Osborne has issued a clarion call. With stunning vocals\, a diverse range of sonics\, and incisive lyrics\, this deeply engaging collection of new original songs is her response to “the crazy\, chaotic times we’re living in\,” she says\, and “a recognition of the important role music has to play in this moment. Music has a unique ability to re-energize people and allow us to continue to hang on to that sense of joy of being alive.” \nSince she broke through 25 years ago with the multi-platinum Relish and its touchstone mega-smash “One of Us\,” the seven-time Grammy nominee has never played it safe. Osborne has followed her restless musical heart\, exploring a diverse range of genres: pop rock\, soul\, R&B\, blues\, roots rock\, gospel\, funk\, and country – all of which can be heard on Trouble and Strife\, along with the Western side of C&W and a touch of glam and disco. “For a lot of the record\, we were going for a ‘70s AM radio vibe\,” says Osborne. As for the lyrics\, the songs “are the most political I’ve ever written\,” she conveys of her first album of originals since 2014’s confessional Love and Hate. Osborne also produced Trouble and Strife\, primarily recorded in her basement studio in Brooklyn and released on the label she founded in 1991\, Womanly Hips. \nTackling serious subject matter in her writing while crafting music to “uplift\,” Osborne assembled “a great live band” (including several musicians who played on her acclaimed last album\, Songs of Bob Dylan): guitarists Jack Petruzzelli\, Nels Cline\, and Andrew Carillo\, keyboardist Keith Cotton\, bassist Richard Hammond and drummer Aaron Comess. For vocal harmonies\, she enlisted exquisite vocalists Catherine Russell\, Ada Dyer\, Martha Redbone and Audrey Martells\, whom she’s “had the great privilege to work with over many years.” The result is a Trojan horse of a record – music that is energizing\, melodic\, and hummable\, with lyrics that call out the corrupt\, the despicable and the destructive. \nRoots-rockin’ opener “Take It Any Way I Can Get It” inspires with the mandate “I’m still survivin’/I got to be dancin’”\, propelled by a joyous gospel-tinged vocal attack backed by Wurlitzer and Southern-style intertwined guitars that dare you to sit still. She co-wrote the funky “Never Get Tired (of Loving You)” with Richard Hammond and her partner Keith Cotton\, propelled by Cotton’s Prophet 6 synth\, for her teenaged daughter: a message of stability in an uncertain world. “That song has a serious subtext\,” says Osborne\, but its “cool\, retro flavor hopefully makes it a joyful thing.” The gorgeous ballad “Whole Wide World” finds Osborne hitting impossibly high notes\, its sound inspired by the Chi-Lites; its message “is about hanging on to hope and envisioning something better for the future.” Another early ‘70’s sound infuses the super-catchy “Boy Dontcha Know”: Osborne’s purring vocals are surrounded by a Spiders from Mars-era piano and Big Star-esque Mando-guitar; its singalong lyrics look at gender nonconformity and the obstacles one faces when born female. \nAbuse of power is the subject of two of the angriest songs on Trouble and Strife\, with their infectious sound imbuing the songs a la a wolf in sheep’s clothing: the bluesy stomp “Hands Off\,” punctuated by distinctive guitar riffs\, denounces corrupt exploiters of people and the planet. “That Was A Lie\,” with scornful lyrics buffeted by buoyant pop rock\, castigates “those camera-ready mouthpieces for corrupt officials\,” according to Osborne. \nTexan Ana Maria Rea\, whose family emigrated to America when she was a child\, contributed spoken passages in her native tongue to the rhythmic “What’s That You Say.” “She tells the story of her family coming from Mexico City\, where her father had been kidnapped\, to the U.S. and how difficult that was\,” says Osborne. “Her message is ‘I’m not afraid\,’ and her mission is to help other people who are in the same position she was in. Ana Maria is a shining light of a person.” \nEscape from a place where “there’s nothin’ left alive” drives Osborne to “Panama\,” a showcase of her vocal range expressing gut-punch lyrics reminiscent of Dylan at his most vitriolic. But it is the Western-flavored title track that Osborne points to as the song most inspired by her “Dylanology” concerts that began in 2016 and led to her 2018 covers album\, “If you spend that intensive time living with his songs\, I think it just rubs off on you\,” Osborne admits. “’Trouble and Strife’ betrays the Dylan influence the most because of the odd characters coming in and out of these absurd situations (much like the ones we find ourselves in today).” \nOsborne’s years of experience as a seasoned road warrior are reflected throughout Trouble and Strife\, the album. Her tenure with what she calls a “meat and potatoes rock ‘n roll band”\, Trigger Hippy\, shows up in “Meat and Potatoes\,” a farewell collaboration with her former bandmates\, cut in a Nashville studio: Written with Trigger Hippy bassist Nick Govrik\, it features that group’s Southern-boogie groove. It’s a feel-good song extolling the virtue of downhome cookin’ – and lovin’. “ \nIt’s been quite the journey since the woman AllMusic.com declared “the most gifted vocalist of her generation” moved from small-town Kentucky to attend NYU film school in the 1980s. Osborne’s astounding voice drew attention when she joined the fun at open mic nights in downtown clubs\, which eventually led to 1995’s Relish\, “that rare breed of album where critical consensus\, popular approval and enduring appeal unite\,” according to American Songwriter. Since then\, she’s performed with Motown’s revered rhythm section the Funk Brothers and toured with the Dead (where she first met and sang with Dylan). She’s harmonized with Stevie Wonder at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\, duetted with Luciano Pavarotti\, and co-headlined a tour with the legendary Mavis Staples. She has amassed a loyal fan base as she’s continuously traveled the country. Through it all\, she sees more clearly now than ever the essential role our troubadours play. \n“I feel like music has this important job to do right now\,” Osborne says. “Part of that job is to help imagine a better future – and to hang on to hope. I want to play for people and get them up on their feet and dancing. To let music do that thing it does – bring joy and energy because we really need that right now.” With Trouble and Strife\, she intends to do just that.

SUMMARY:Over the Rainbow: Celebrating the 120th Birthday of Harold Arlen
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, February 16\, 2025\, at Kleinhans Music Hall as we pay tribute to one of Buffalo’s most legendary musical icons\, Harold Arlen\, the composer behind some of the greatest songs in the Great American Songbook. A visionary whose work includes the iconic “Over the Rainbow\,” Arlen’s compositions have shaped American music for generations. This special event is being produced through a collaborative effort by JazzBuffalo and Kleinhans Music Hall and honors Arlen’s immense contributions to jazz and popular music. \nThe event will be headlined by Pete Malinverni\, a native of the Western New York region and an acclaimed jazz pianist\, composer\, arranger\, and educator based in New York City\, along with internationally renowned violinist Julie Kurtzman and rising star jazz vocalist Anaïs Reno.

SUMMARY:Haley Reinhart
DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall & Soul of Buffalo present: \nHaley Reinhart\nOff The Ground Tour\n\nwith Cami Clune \nA timeless voice outlasts eras. 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! The experience includes a photo with Haley\, who will also sign up to two items per ticket holder\, plus your choice from among the best seats in the house. Participants will also have early access to bars and the merch table. This opportunity is limited to 50 participants. Specific instructions will be sent in the days leading up to the show. \nAbout Cami Clune \nCami has performed as a featured vocalist with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and has sung the national anthem for various organizations\, including the NFL and NHL. Her versatility extends beyond music as well; she has lent her voice to jingles\, showcased her acting skills in short films and commercials\, and took the stage in various musical productions throughout her life. 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.

SUMMARY:Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn
DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall presents\nBéla Fleck & Abigail Washburn\nApril 3\, 2024 – 7:30 PM\nKleinhans Music Hall is pleased to present Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn on April 3\, 2024 at 7:30 PM in the Mary Seaton Room. 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. She has done fascinating work in folk musical diplomacy in China\, presented an original theatrical production\, and has contributed to singular side groups Uncle Earl and The Wu-Force. 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.

His travels as the principal dancer took him all around the globe where he performed to standing only crowds in over 30 countries. Jason has recently been developing a new concept of Irish dance that attempts to break the barriers and traditional restraints that have been placed on this engaging art form. \nGARRETT COLEMAN As a native of Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, Garrett was trained in traditional Irish step dance at the Burke School under the tutelage of the internationally renowned Theresa Burke. Despite his traditional background\, Garrett has consistently found himself drawn to rhythmically innovative types of movement that push the boundaries of athleticism through dance. In addition to Irish Step\, he has trained in hip hop\, tap\, and contemporary movement. \nCompetitively\, Garrett was named the two-time World Champion (2004\, 2005) and All Ireland Champion (2004).

SUMMARY:Marcia Ball and Tinsley Ellis
DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall presents\nAcoustic Songs & Stories\nFeaturing\nMarcia Ball and Tinsley Ellis\nMary Seaton Room\, Kleinhans Music Hall\nTinsley Ellis and Marcia Ball are excited to present an intimate evening of their music and memories called Acoustic Songs and Stories. 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.

SUMMARY:Art of Jazz | Elio Villafranca & The Chick Corea Afro-Caribbean Experience
DESCRIPTION:Elio Villafranca & The Chick Corea Afro-Caribbean Experience – Sold Out!\nSunday\, February 5 at 3 pm\nChick Corea was quoted in a 2019 Billboard interview as saying\, “That [Latin] flavor\, I find\, is mostly in everything I do; it’s a part of me.” As we celebrate jazz icon Chick Corea\, who tragically passed away in February 2021\, Grammy Nominated Cuban pianist Elio Villafranca will delve into the maestro’s compositions from a distinctly Afro-Caribbean meets Jazz perspective\, joined by a sextet of master musicians including Grammy winner saxophonist Donny McCaslin. When Jazz at Lincoln Center hosted a week-long Chick Corea Festival in 2013\, Chick hand-picked the musicians he wanted to see and hear\, with Elio Villafranca being one of them. Chick’s masterful storytelling knew no bounds—from Bach and Bartok to the Blues\, from Stravinsky to Samba\, Mozart to Montunos\, Ravel and Rhumba—all tempered with the language of swing with the Spanish Tinge.  The Chick Corea Afro-Caribbean Experience musical arrangements have only been performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center during two special Chick Corea tribute engagements.

SUMMARY:CANCELED -- Habib Koité and Bamada
DESCRIPTION:Due to the impending weather situation and the difficult travel conditions that may arise from it\, tonight’s concert at Kleinhans Music Hall featuring Habib Koité and Bamada has unfortunately been canceled. 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.
