Session Americana - Avalon Theatre
2021-11-13 19:00 - 22:00 UTC | Avalon Theatre, 40 E Dover Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
Session Americana is a band/collective of talented musicians craft a musical experience unlike any other. On stage is a collapsible bar table wired with microphones, a vintage suitcase recast as a kick drum, an old Estey field organ, a pre-war parlor guitar, a mandocello and all of its smaller siblings, a harmonica case fire damaged when Jack’s bar went up in flames and graffitied by Depeche Mode roadies, and an assortment of other instruments that get passed around in this freewheeling modern hootenanny.

The anything-could-happen feel of a Session show depends on craft that’s not accidental or easily won; they bring a kind of ease and genuineness to this timeless music, sometimes presenting the latest batch of original songs, sometimes reaching back into depths of the American “song bag”.

Dan Navarro
2022-01-07 19:00 (America/New_York) | Avalon Theatre, 40 E Dover Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
Dan Navarro’s music probes life at its most resonant. In his rich baritone, he sings songs of heart and insight, steeped in experience, soulful tales from a long road well-traveled.
You know songs from his impressive body of work (like the Grammy-nominated “We Belong”, made famous by Pat Benatar), but Navarro isn’t one to rest on his well-deserved laurels. His acclaimed album “Shed My Skin” released last year in the US and in early 2019 in Europe to glowing reviews. During the 2020 Covid pandemic lockdown, he got busy and started his “Songs From the CoronaZone” live stream series, running almost daily for five months on social media.
And last summer, Navarro released a special duo album with James Lee Stanley, “All Wood and Led”, with acoustic “Laurel Canyon” re-imaginations of Led Zeppelin tunes.

Working outside the confines of the traditional music industry, Ezra and his band, the Adam Ezra Group, built a fan community through sheer grit and determination, regularly performing hundreds of shows a year for the past two decades without any major label or mainstream radio support.
Fusing folk intimacy and rock energy with soul power and pop charm, the band first emerged from Boston in the early 2000s and quickly garnered widespread acclaim for their bold, insightful songwriting and interactive, euphoric performances.
From hole-in-the-wall bars and house concerts to sold-out headline shows and dates with the likes of Little Big Town, The Wallflowers, Gavin DeGraw, Train, and The Wailers, Ezra and his bandmates treated every single gig like their last, attracting a die-hard following that believed not just in the music, but in their commitment to activism and social change as well.

Keb' Mo'
2022-01-23 19:00 (America/New_York) | Avalon Theatre, 40 E Dover Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
Fresh off his recent Grammy-winning release “Oklahoma,” the legendary Keb’ Mo’ returns to the Avalon stage!
Over his quarter-century as a recording artist, Keb’ has cultivated a reputation as a modern master of American roots music through the understated excellence of his live and studio performances.
The charismatic singer/guitarist/ songwriter and five-time Grammy Award-winner has consistently made music that reflects his own passions and interests. In the process, he’s established his ability to draw upon his bottomless roots-music expertise to make deeply expressive, highly personal music.
Along with his original material, Keb’ has collaborated with a wide constellation of artists, including Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Jackson Browne, Natalie Cole, and Lyle Lovett, among so many more.
But it’s his stellar guitar skills that are what distinguishes Keb’ from the rest. His guitar playing has garnered him two invites to Eric Clapton’s acclaimed Crossroads Festival and has even inspired leading instrument makers, Gibson Brands, to issue the Keb’ Mo’ Signature Bluesmaster and Bluesmaster Royale acoustic guitars.

2022-02-17 11:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | Academy Art Museum, 106 South St, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev. Russia has provided us with some of the most exciting and original music in the repertoire today. Vibrant colors, explosive energy, and passionate emotional drive characterize the works of these composers. Yet this tradition seemed to spring from nowhere barely 150 years ago, expanding meteorically in breadth and national confidence over an amazingly short period. While exploring the riches of Russian concert works, we also trace the turbulent historical movements that acted both as backdrop and engine for this fascinating musical evolution.

After making multiple albums and performing in far-flung places, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Amy Helm returned home to Woodstock’s Levon Helm Studios just before the pandemic to record “What the Flood Leaves Behind” and reclaim a sense of self.
The album is her most autobiographical work yet, both in content and creation. This collection of new songs represent a gathering of ideas and experiences, friends and collaborators. Yet, the album also marks a landing — a pause for the traveling musician and mother of two young boys who was seeking clarity in her calling and career.

Miss Tess
2022-03-10 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Avalon Theatre, 40 E Dover Street, Easton, MD, 21601, United States
Defying genres while transcending eras and resisting clichés is what Miss Tess is all about.
Drawing from jazz, country, blues and old-school rock and roll, she has employed all of her influences and talents on a tour-de-force, while cleverly taking standard perspectives and ideas, like the definition of a love song, to task.

However varied Tess’s music can be, front and center sits her voice that has been described as “alternately seductive and sexy, and a pure joy to listen to” (Pop Matters). Her music is further heightened by her partner, Thomas Bryan Eaton, who helps to shape the songs and arrangements with a deft touch on guitar & pedal steel.
