Charles Lloyd

Dakota

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.

Charles Lloyd is a musical giant who holds a rarefied place among American artists. As a jazz saxophonist steeped in the blues of his native Memphis, he has truly made history. For instance, his 1966 album, Forest Flower: Live at Monterey, became one of the first jazz recordings to sell a million copies. Moreover, his quartet was the first jazz group to appear at San Francisco’s famed Fillmore Auditorium. Additionally, Lloyd headlined other rock palaces, sharing billing with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Cream, the Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane. Consequently, in 1967, Downbeat Magazine voted him Jazz Artist of the Year.
