Music / Rock/Pop/Folk
Leon Russell / New Riders Of The Purple Sage (5/14)
A MUSIC HALL/MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS CO-PRESENTATION The ultimate rock & roll session man, Leon Russell's long and storied career includes collaborations with a virtual who's who of music icons spanning from Jerry Lee Lewis to Phil Spector to the Rolling Stones. A similar eclecticism and scope also surfaced in his solo work, which couched his charmingly gravelly voice in a rustic yet rich swamp pop fusion of country, blues, and gospel. His classic "A Song for You" is a mainstay on rock radio. For most of the early '70s, the New Riders of the Purple Sage were the most successful offshoot of The Grateful Dead. They've attracted a considerable audience through their association with Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, and Mickey Hart and have been on constant tours of the world for the last 40 years.
Delbert McClinton (5/21)
A MUSIC HALL/MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS CO-PRESENTATION 3 time Grammy award winner Delbert McClinton is a legend among Texas roots music aficionados, not only for his amazing longevity, but for his ability to combine country, blues, soul, and rock & roll as if there were no distinctions between any of them. A formidable harmonica player, he is a critics' darling and a favorite of his peers.
Marshall Tucker Band (5/23)
A MUSIC HALL/MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS CO-PRESENTATION One of the major Southern rock bands of the '70s, The Marshall Tucker Band combined rock, country, and jazz and featured extended instrumental passages. The band released their debut album, The Marshall Tucker Band, in March 1973 and found significant success during the course of the '70s, with most of their albums going gold. Their peak came with the million-selling album Carolina Dreams and its Top 15 single "Heard It in a Love Song" in 1977.
Dark Star Orchestra (5/27)
A MUSIC HALL/MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS CO-PRESENTATION Using entire shows from the Grateful Dead's 30 years of extensive touring as a launching pad, Dark Star Orchestra recreates the original song for song performance set list for an entirely new generation of, as well as old school Deadheads. "Fanatical attention to detail." -Rolling Stone
Procol Harum (6/10)
A MUSIC HALL/MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS CO-PRESENTATION Procol Harum is one of the most successful Progressive Rock acts of all time. Their song "A Whiter Shade of Pale" was recently named the most-played single of the past seventy-five years by the BBC. Gary Brooker, the voice, keyboardist and main songwriter of the band is joined by Procol veterans Matt Pegg, Geoff Dunn, Josh Phillips, and Geoff Whiteborn. This will be the first time in seven years that the legendary band will grace US shores.
Blue Öyster Cult (7/1)
A MUSIC HALL/MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS CO-PRESENTATION Upon the release of Blue Öyster Cult's self-titled debut album in 1972, the band was praised for its catchy-yet-heavy music and lyrics that could be provocative, terrifying, funny or ambiguous, often all in the same song. BÖC's canon includes three stone-cold classic songs that will waft through the cosmos long after the sun has burned out: The truly haunting "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" from 1976's Agents of Fortune, the pummeling "Godzilla" from 1977's Spectres and the hypnotically melodic "Burnin' for You" from 1981's Fire of Unknown Origin.
Amos Lee (7/15)
A MUSIC HALL/MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS CO-PRESENTATION Taking inspiration from soul greats Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers and from folk legends John Prine and Dave Van Ronk, Amos Lee directs his music with a spirit and presence rooted in American tradition. Amos delivers a unique brand of folk-soul music that aims to unite, uplift, and inspire. The "folk" side is reflected in his nimble acoustic guitar playing and the intimacy of his live performances. The "soul" strain comes through in the engaging song-poetry of his lyrics and in what the Philadelphia Inquirer described as his "easygoing voice" and "raw, unedited emotion."
John Prine (8/1)
A MUSIC HALL/MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS CO-PRESENTATION An acclaimed singer/songwriter whose literate work flirts with everything from acoustic folk through rockabilly to straight-ahead country, John Prine can easily be compared to great contemporary songwriters like Paul Simon, Loudon Wainwright III, and James Taylor. Discovered by Kris Kristofferson, he released his debut self-titled album in 1971 to reviews proclaiming him "the next Bob Dylan". Since then, John Prine has released more than 20 albums, and received Grammy awards for the 1991 release The Missing Years, and the 2006 Fair and Square.
