DESCRIPTION:ShapeShifter Plus & B Sides Present: \nDavid Gilmore’s New Decade Birthday Celebration\nperforming the Music of Earth\, Wind & Fire. \n6 PM – 7:30PM\nDrinks\, Hang\, and Open Jam Session hosted by Tessa Souter\n\n8PM\nCelebration Show – the Music of Earth\, Wind & Fire\nDavid Gilmore…..\n8 PM Birthday Celebration with \nDavid Gilmore (Guitar/Vocals) \nLenny Underwood (Piano/Keys \nBilly Grant (Bass/Vocals) \n\nGene Lake (Drums/Vocals) \nMartinez Little (Vocals) \nDon Hanson (Saxes) \nKirk Brown (Trumpet & Trombone) \n*** and many special surprise guests! \n\nDavid can’t think of a better way to celebrate a major decade-shifting birthday than to enter it with his friends and family\, playing and singing the music of Earth\, Wind & Fire – one of his all-time favorite bands. They are known to the general public for many of their hit songs throughout the 70’s to the 90’s and to the present-day\, but they are also admired and revered as being one of the most talented and musical groups that also happened to have some pop hits! Their music is a huge part of the musical fabric that made up David’s early life\, well before he picked up the guitar\, along with James Brown\, The Jackson Five\, P-Funk\, Pleasure\, The Temptations\, and on and on. \nTheir music was powerful\, and their messages of Spirituality\, Love\, and Gratitude were too rare when much of the R&B/ Funk world sang about dancing and romancing and ‘gettin’ down’. \nMore on David Gilmore\nGuitarist David Gilmore has performed and recorded with many of today’s most influential artists\, including Wayne Shorter\, Steve Coleman\, Christian McBride\, Dave Douglas\, Rudresh Mahanthappa\, Randy Brecker\, Lenny White\, Stanley Clarke\, Sam Rivers\, and many others. \nHis latest release\, From Here to Here (2020 Criss Cross Records)\, is his sixth album as a leader\, and he has appeared on over 80 recordings as a leader or co-leader. Gilmore’s playing has been compared to guitarists as diverse as George Benson and Jimi Hendrix. He has received numerous grants\, including two Chamber Music of America – New Jazz Works Composer Grants\, and was nominated for the prestigious Doris Duke Artist Award. Committed to an improvisational approach that reflects a global awareness\, he conducts master classes worldwide and is a Professor at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston.

SUMMARY:Rebellious Birds: A Lovey-Dovey Opera Concert Where The Soprano Doesn't Die!
DESCRIPTION:Love is a rebellious bird\, and so are we! Gluten Free Opera is delighted to present some of our favorite operatic love scenes in an accessible way for all people of all ages! \nFeaturing Lena Haleem (mezzo-soprano)\, Sophia Mortensen (mezzo-soprano)\, Kate Theis (soprano)\, Yasmine Swanson (soprano)\, and Kathryn Olander (pianist). \n  \nGluten Free Opera (working name) is the brainchild of Lena Haleem and Sophia Mortensen\, two mezzo-sopranos with a passion for universal accessibility to opera. We are starting our company with a season of Deconstructing the Diva. In our Halloween Spectaculathon\, Valentines concert\, and Spring concert\, we will present unpretentious\, down-to-earth (literally) scenes and arias. We believe that\, while not everyone has to love opera as much as we do\, opera should be approachable and familiar for everyone\, so that everyone can make that decision themselves. We can’t wait to share our love for this art with you\, and someday present fully-staged operas in their entirety!

SUMMARY:Shane Allessio Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Boyce Griffith – tenor sax \nJohn Kirschner – guitar \nSharif Zaban – drums \nShane Allessio – double bass \n  \nAbout Shane Allessio \n\nShane Allessio plays hard hitting\, heavy swinging\, modern original jazz. Drawing from Mingus\, George Russell\, Stan Kenton\, etc\, boundaries are pushed while a respect for swing and the jazz tradition is upheld. Screaming crashing dissonances\, virtuosic bowed bass solos and foot stomping grooves are to be expected at every show. \nComing off of a bold and unique new quartet album release\, Everything and Nothing\, Shane seeks to challenge the listener to explore a wide range of emotions\, characters and personal stories. It’s a journey of highs\, lows and even the psychedelic. Mixing through-composed forms with giving his band the freedom to improvise\, Shane himself “plays strong backing to the horns\, but is also a highly gifted soloist himself\, playing like a saxophonist in terms of invention” (Jazz Journal International). “It’s a CD that belongs in every jazz lover’s collection” (Gary Karr). \nShane is a disciple of renowned educator Jim Stinnett. He traveled the country helping to present Mr. Stinnett’s Secret Chambers project\, a book and presentation featuring and analyzing the walking and solo lines of the great Paul Chambers. Shane was also a faculty member of Mr. Stinnett’s long running New Hampshire Bass Fest\, featuring artists such as Eddie Gomez\, Rufus Reid\, Gary Karr and more of the best bassists around the world. After Berklee Shane moved to London for six years\, working the scene there and touring Europe with his and others’ projects. He now resides in New York City.
