2.16 CURTIS STIGERS The acoustic jazz ensemble, Rhythm Future Quartet has a
2.17 DUKE ROBILLARD straightforward agenda: to keep the spirit of Gypsy jazz alive and
2.23 SLAMBOVIAN CIRCUS OF DREAMS expanding in today’s musical universe. The virtuosic foursome, named
2.24 JESSE AGAN: THE MUSIC OF QUEEN for a Django Reinhardt tune, offers up a newly minted sound,
2.25 SUNDAY FUNDAY W/ THE SHADY ROOSTERS influenced by the classic Hot Club of France, yet wholly contemporary.

MARCH compositions that draw upon diverse international rhythms and

3.22 LIZ LONGLEY bands, the Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth
3.23 DRAW THE LINE: TRIBUTE TO AEROSMITH studio album and will dedicate much of the year to the project
while still heading out on the road for their summer tour.

3.28 SPIRE LOBBY SERIES: UNCLE JOHN’S BANJO The Young Dubliners have released nine albums to date. The set
on the upcoming dates will draw from all their albums and
APRIL include unreleased new material.

Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called
‘Celtic Rock’, that label can often be misleading. The Irish
4.4 EASTERN BANK JAZZ SERIES: THE KAREEM SANJAGHI QUARTET influence is certainly there, but it’s not the only influence that
4.7 SUNDAY FUNDAY W/ THE SHADY ROOSTERS bursts through on their albums or live shows.
4.10 DONNA THE BUFFALO
4.12 SPIRE’S 10 ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION After all, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any
4.13 SPIRE’S 10 ANNIVERSATY CELEBRATION: WORLD MUSIC SHOWCASE kind. “That was always the idea”, explains Roberts “The sound
4.18 SPIRE LOBBY SERIES: SETH GLIER was intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different
4.19 JOE LOUIS WALKER backgrounds. Even though I am from Ireland, a lot of the music I
4.20 ANA POPOVIĆ listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all, but when I got here, I
4.21 SUNDAY FUNDAY W/ THE SHADY ROOSTERS got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish Music.”
