Darlingside

Three-time Grammy winning composer and fiddler Mark O’Connor has created several arrangements of Christmas classics. Here, he fashions a wondrous mixture of both instrumental and vocal music in bluegrass and other American music genres. The show features fresh takes on traditional songs with a few original compositions included. His renditions are playful and joyous, but can be strikingly earnest too. Mark’s touring ensemble includes his wife Maggie O’Connor on fiddle and vocals. Additionally, he will bring a variety of guest musicians on each tour.

Mark O’Connor’s Appalachian Christmas

A Minnesota-based tribute to the greatest rock band of all time: The Rolling Stones. These red-blooded ramblers aren’t just a cover band: they’re a full-blown rock ‘n’ roll experience. Here, this group is fueled by friendship, swagger, and a deep love for the early-era Stones. The Rolling Stoners bring the hits (and deep cuts) to life with indulgent, high-energy performances that pack dance floors and light-up nights.

The Rolling Stoners

Everything Is Alive, Darlingside’s fourth LP, marks a subtle but remarkable departure for the Boston-based quartet. Here, the album retains much of the lushness and sophistication of Extralife (2018) and Fish Pond Fish (2020). Moreover, the band’s latest work decisively exposes and differentiates the individual voices of the four songwriters. This is a daring reinvention for a group known for ubiquitous vocal harmonies. Everything Is Alive is an album about loss and the struggle for a semblance of redemption. Here, the band grapples with change both personal and universal, with quandaries domestic and existential.
