John Prine:

Legendary singer, songwriter and performer John Prine will release his highly anticipated new album, The Tree of Forgiveness, April 13, 2018 on his own independent label, Oh Boy Records. Produced by Grammy Award-winning Dave Cobb, the album is Prine?s first featuring new material in over 13 years.

Recorded at Nashville?s historic RCA Studio A, the album includes ten new songs written by Prine along with co-writers Pat McLaughlin, Roger Cook, Dan Auerbach, Keith Sykes and Phil Spector. Along with Prine, Cobb, and Prine?s longtime band, the album features special guests Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and Amanda Shires.

The landmark album and tour follow a noteworthy 2017, which included an ?Artist of the Year? award at the Americana Music Honors & Awards and a Chicago/Midwest Regional Emmy Award for his ?Chicago Voices? performance with Renée Fleming. Last year also saw the release of Prine?s debut book, John Prine Beyond Words, which includes a selection of favorites songs, photographs and stories from Prine?s beloved catalogue. More info is available here.

A two-time Grammy-winner, Prine is among the English language?s premier phrase-turners. Almost 50 years years into a remarkable career that has drawn effusive praise from Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Bonnie Raitt, Roger Waters, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and others who would know, Prine is a smiling, shuffling force for good. He is a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member and a PEN New England Lyrics Award recipient whose classic debut album, simply titled John Prine, is recognized as part of the Recording Academy?s Grammy Hall of Fame and whose songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Carly Simon, Bette Midler, Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones, George Strait, Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown Band and many others.
Following the 2015 death of his friend and business partner Al Bunetta, Prine is now President and sole owner of Oh Boy Records. He lives in Nashville, TN with his wife, Fiona, and enjoys spending time with their three sons, a daughter-in-law and his grandchildren.


Valerie June:


Valerie June knows a thing or two about turning hopes and dreams into realities. With Pushin' Against A Stone, she went from self-releasing her music as Tennessee's best kept secret to being hailed by the New York Times as one of America's "most intriguing, fully formed new talents." The New Yorker was captivated by her "unique, stunning voice," while Rolling Stone dubbed her "unstoppable," and NPR called her "an elemental talent born with the ability to rearrange the clouds themselves." She astonished TV audiences from coast-to-coast with spellbinding performances on The Tonight Show, The Late Show, Austin City Limits, Rachael Ray, and CBS Saturday Morning, and graced some of the world's most prestigious stages, from Carnegie Hall to the Kennedy Center. First Lady Michelle Obama invited June to The White House, and she toured with artists like Sharon Jones &The Dap Kings, Sturgill Simpson, Norah Jones, and Jake Bugg in addition to flooring festival crowds at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Newport Folk, Hangout, ACL, Pickathon, Mountain Jam and more. In the UK, the reaction was similarly ecstatic. June performed on Later...with Jools Holland, joined a bill with the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park, and took the press by storm. Uncut praised her "remarkably careworn vocals," MOJO swooned for her "glorious sound," and The Independent's Andy Gill wrote, "June has the most strikingly individual delivery I've heard in ages."

Gordon Lightfoot
In Concert: The Legend Lives On
Friday, June 22nd at 8pm
The Capitol Center for the Arts

Gordon Lightfoot
After 50 active years of hit song making and international album sales well into the multi-millions, it's safe to say that esteemed singer-songwriter and musician Gordon Lightfoot resides with some very exclusive company atop the list of all-time greats. His song catalog is incredibly vast and includes such immortals as ?Early Morning Rain,? ?If You Could Read My Mind,? ?Carefree Highway,? ?Sundown,? ?The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald," "Canadian Railroad Trilogy," and "Rainy Day People" to name a few. On his "Gordon Lightfoot In Concert: The Legend Lives On" tour, he will feature his well-known hits as well as some deep album cuts for the die-hard fanatics. All of which are woven together with some of Lightfoot's own behind the scenes stories and personal anecdotes about his historic 50-year musical career. The event is sure to be a great thrill for live audiences and anyone who enjoys hearing great music and seeing a living legend in person.

JOHN PRINE needed to get into his comfort zone to finish a new album, so his wife reserved a room at the Omni Hotel in Nashville for a week. After nearly 50 years on the road, hotel rooms are a familiar enough sight. Following two bellmen to his suite, Prine settled in with four guitars and 10 boxes of legal pads to complete the album that would become The Tree of Forgiveness.

The highly-anticipated album, The Tree of Forgiveness, is Prine?s first collection of new material since 2005?s Grammy-winning Fair and Square. Rather than going out on a limb, Prine cultivated the themes that have brought international acclaim since the 1970s. For example, he can take a topic like loneliness and make it funny (?Knockin? on Your Screen Door?) or heartbreaking (?Summers End?). Perfectly aligned with his quirkiest songs, ?The Lonesome Friends of Science? makes its point through the characters he calls ?those bastards in the white lab coats who experiment with mountain goats,? as well as the discredited planet Pluto and the towering Vulcan statue in Birmingham, Alabama.

Prine teamed with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb to record in Nashville?s historic Studio A, enlisting friends like Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and Amanda Shires to sing along. The songs are new, although some had waited to be finished for decades, like a co-write with Phil Spector called ?God Only Knows.? Another incomplete song, ?I Have Met My Love Today,? now celebrates the unexpected spark that leads to lifelong romance ? with a dash of youthful innocence. The musical arrangements may be simpler than on past efforts, yet his unique ability to distill complex emotions into everyday language remains fully intact.

Opening for Mr. Prine will be Valerie June.

Swanhilda notices her fianceé Franz is infatuated with the beautiful Coppélia who sits reading on her balcony each day. Nearly breaking up the two sweethearts, Coppélia is not what she seems and Swanhilda decides to teach Franz a lesson.
The Bolshoi?s unique version of Coppélia exhibits a fascinating reconstruction of the original 19th century choreography of this ebullient comedy involving a feisty heroine, a boyish fianceé with a wandering eye, and an old dollmaker. The company?s stunning corps de ballet shines in the divertissements and famous ?dance of the hours,? and its principals abound in youthful energy and irresistible humor in this effervescent production.

The program will be preceded by a 20 minute ?pre?show? which includes views of Moscow, the Bolshoi Theatre, interviews with dancers, and the season trailer.

Sponsored by Jägermeister, and voted Best Hardcore/Metal Act 2012, 2013, & 2014 (Pulse Mag's Worcester Music Awards), Thurkills Vision is a 5-piece melodic, metal outfit hailing from Lowell, Massachusetts. Formed in 2006, the group is led by the fierce and equally alluring voice of singer, Yamil Melendez; it combines influences of metal, alternative, and rock to create a hybrid sound. The hard hitting rhythm section featuring David Malave on drums and bassist, Matt Frotten lay the foundation for guitarists, Eric Williams and Bobby Rourke, who drive the band with their aggressive, thrash-inspired playing. Along with the auditory assault that is their music, the band also brings to the table a high-intensity live show, which has become a staple for the group. Since forming, the band has played shows all over the New England area, sharing the stage with national touring acts such as Sevendust, 10 Years, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, Drowning Pool, Three Days Grace, Escape the Fate, Seether, Taproot, Nonpoint, Hed PE, Smile Empty Soul, CKY, 40 Below Summer, and Powerman 5000, to name a few.
