Bo and Stan played together for the first time a year ago, and it was amazingly like Louis Armstrong & Sidney Bechet. John Kafalas was the band’s regular trombonist in the 1980’s but moved west. Since he’s back in New England we love to have him substitute when Gerry Gagnon is away. John would make Vic Dickenson proud!

Christine Lavin and Don White at Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis
St. Framingham, MA. Ticket Prices: $30 (Stu/Sen $28, Mem $25) 508-405-ARTS (2787)
Christine Lavin's smart and funny songs nail our lives and foibles on the head! With an arsenal of irony and wit, Christine's delightfully skewed songs cover a lot of territory, such as relationships ("What Was I Thinking?"), politics ("Baracolate Chip Cookies"), life's injustices ("Attractive Stupid People") and a lot more!
Don White stays right at home to mine comic gold. Coming from the world of stand-up, he is a family man whose concerts can turn what happens in his home into an onstage biopic! His funny and often touching songs like "How to Get Your Kids to Leave Home," "Be 16 With Me" and "Rascal" go straight to the heart.
Together, Christine Lavin and Don White are a funny, funny two-fer of comedy and
song. |

Dixie Diehards,
jazz concert at Norton MA Public Library. The Dixie Diehards have won an enthusiastic reception across southern New England, not only for their old school jazz style, but for bringing an irrepressible sense of fun and frolic to their shows. That attitude almost always includes audience sing-a-longs, spontaneous dance outbursts (remember the Charleston and the Black Bottom?) and a spirit of “wonderful nonsense” inspired by the early 20th Century which gave them their music. |
