Vance Gilbert
2021-06-05 20:00 - 22:00 | Stoltz Pavilion, 218 N Washington Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
“Gilbert took the stage, accompanied only by an acoustic guitar, a whimsical sense of humor, and an astonishingly smooth, pure tenor voice. But that proved to be more than enough.” Chicago Tribune
Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 1990s when the buzz started spreading in the folk clubs of Boston and New York City about an ex-multicultural arts teacher who was knocking ‘em dead at open mics.
After Shawn Colvin invited him to tour with her, Gilbert took audiences across the country by storm, and there’s been no stopping him since!
Along with being the opener of choice for artists as varied as Aretha Franklin, Arlo Guthrie, and Anita Baker, Gilbert has also opened 140+ shows for legendary comedian George Carlin. Most recently, he’s the opener of choice for Paul Reiser and The Subdudes.

Originally from Los Gatos, California, Martin started writing songs when he was 14 and was soon touring up and down the West Coast as a solo artist and with a band.
After escaping to New York City, assembling a band of misfit all-stars and growing a devout audience, Martin has gone on to release three acclaimed albums, including 2020’s Wandercease.
This latest release is his most musically adventurous and emotionally authentic record, blending masterful melodic instincts with giant musical hooks and a polychromatic sonic palette.

Anthony Turk Cannon
2021-05-29 20:00 - 22:00 | Stoltz Pavilion, 218 N Washington Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
Born in St. Michaels, saxophonist Anthony Cannon started to make his musical mark at open-mic blues and jazz venues in the Baltimore/DC area back in the ‘90s. Over the years, he’s gone on to establish himself in the blues, R&B, and rock/pop scenes.

Kat Parsons
2021-05-27 20:00 - 22:00 | Stoltz Pavilion, 218 N Washington Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
A little bit Zen, a little bit playful, Kat Parsons’ music balances on the dicey line between reality and fantasy.
Instead of running from the duality of that place, Parsons mines it. When Kat sings about life being lived, you can’t help but recognize your own story in the lines.
An intrepid spirit in music as in life, she reaches deep and wide and leaves you exhilarated, comforted, understood…Connected, in a very human way. In an era anesthetized on spin, Kat Parsons is distinctively real.

Throughout the 1990s, Dan recorded and toured with Lowen in the acclaimed acoustic duo Lowen & Navarro, until Eric’s retirement in 2009. Dan has since transitioned into a growing solo career, increasingly in demand on the national concert circuit, and touring nearly 100 dates per year.

Peter Bradley Adams
2021-05-17 08:00 - 17:00 | Stoltz Pavilion, 218 N Washington Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
“…Adams fuses intimate, emotionally powerful lyrics with graceful, low-key roots-based indie folk…” All Music Guide
Adams is an Americana singer-songwriter who tells tales of love and loss, homes and hearts. The territory he mines is a deliberate mix of fact and fantasy, but regardless of the details, there’s always a philosophical bent that is often more under than on the surface, firmly grounding Adams’ songs even as they stretch outward.
His brand of Americana nestles his often delicate, always heartfelt voice in the warm embrace of gentle guitar, tasteful dobro, subtle banjo, supportive bass, and unhurried percussion. The result is a sonic scape that, in turn, wraps itself around the listener like a soft blanket on a cold day.

Tom Rush accompanied by Matt Nakoa
2021-05-07 20:00 - 22:00 | Avalon Theatre, 40 E Dover Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
***This is the rescheduled performance from the original Friday, September 25, 2020 date.

“Rush and his fellow performers not only celebrated the past and the traditions that link one generation of musicians to the next, but they also made the future for acoustic music look bright indeed. Evocative … sensitive … imaginative … gorgeous … breathtaking … compelling. The music cast an intimate spell.” Washington Post
Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer whose shows offer a musical celebration…a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become.

Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influences.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences.

His distinctive guitar style, wry humor, and warm, expressive voice have made Rush both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads, and the passion of gritty blues.
