SUMMARY:Music on Centre presents Danielle Miraglia and Rupert Wates
DESCRIPTION:Skillfully mixing blues and Americana\, Danielle Miraglia comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson\, an infectious stomp-box rhythm\, harmonica\, and tunes ranging from heartfelt to socially conscious. She started out as a blues picker\, then a rocking electric guitar player in a band\, and now focusing on solo acts that highlight both her instrumental and vocal skills and her musical storytelling. \n“Straddling the line where folk/roots meets rock/blues\, Miraglia has a voice that can go from a raspy come-hither purr to an Etta James-esque powerhouse belt\, although she may be best known for her lead thumb — a heavy\, thumping strike on her Gibson that’s backdrop percussion in itself.” Lauren Daley\, The Boston Globe \n“Danielle Miraglia is like a musical butterfly who’s been granted many metamorphoses.”  www.daniellem.com \nRupert Wates is a London-born\, award-winning songwriter now living in the US who has released eleven albums with his haunting melodic brand of acoustic art-folk\, earning airplay across the U.S.\, Canada\, Europe\, Israel\, and Australia. In the U.S. he started winning awards in 2018\, first the New Folk artist at Kerrville Festival and later at national Folk Alliance conferences\, totaling about 50 awards so far. His songwriting\, which features stories of the true lives of everyday people and his own personal perspective\, is enhanced by his haunting melodic vocal style and down to earth stage presence.         www.rupertwatesmusic.com \nAdmission $25\, $15 for under age 21.

SUMMARY:Music on Centre presents An Evening with Dean Stevens and Friends
DESCRIPTION:This amazing collaboration of four virtuosic musicians clearly enjoy their work!  Their love of the music is infectious as one marvels at their instrumental expertise. Featured are Rob Flax on the violin\, Dean Stevens on the guitar\, Eric Kilburn on the mandolin\, and Max Ridley on the bass. The choice of the mostly original songs they sing is always surprising and always fun. Spend your Thanksgiving weekend with us; you will be glad you did. \nDean is an exuberant performer of distinctive style and wit\, who combines an intricate\, self-taught guitar style with a versatile and expressive singing voice. His six albums explore a variety of personal and social topics\, paints sketches of people and places\, celebrates the Earth\, and annoys the narrow minded. \n“Seeing and hearing Dean Stevens live on stage is proof that sanity\, literacy\, love\, hope\, and the forces of good are still alive and well and at work in the universe. Losing your faith?

SUMMARY:Music on Centre presents Windborne
DESCRIPTION:“The most exciting vocal group in a generation\,” Windborne’s captivating show draws on the singers’ deep roots in traditions of vocal harmony\, while the absolute uniqueness of their artistic approach brings old songs into the present.

The ensemble shifts effortlessly between drastically different styles of music\, drawing their audience along on a journey that spans continents and centuries\, illuminating and expanding on the profound power and variation of the human voice. \n \nBut there’s another\, crucial dimension to Windborne that guides and roots their artistry. They are adherents to folk music’s longtime alliance with social activism\, labor and civil rights\, and other movements that champion the oppressed\, the poor\, and the disenfranchised. Their songs burst with lyrics that\, while penned decades or centuries ago\, still ring true in modern times\, and Windborne’s dynamic harmonies breathe new life into these songs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is $25.

SUMMARY:Music on Centre presents Crys Matthews & Heather Mae
DESCRIPTION:Music on Centre invites you to tune in to a lively and inspiring Zoom concert by the amazing Crys Matthews and the incomparable Heather Mae. \nMatthews is a nationally acclaimed singer-songwriter who captured our hearts at the Music on Centre concert in 2018. She blends Americana\, folk\, jazz\, blues\, bluegrass and funk into a bold\, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies and punctuated by honest\, original lyrics. \nUnfazed by what a typical pop artist today is “supposed” to look like and how the typical pop artist is “supposed” to sound\, Heather Mae creates intoxicating music that tackles complex topics surrounding mental health\, LGBTQ+ issues\, self-love\, racial injustice\, social inequality\, and women’s rights. She is a dynamically positive advocate of LGBT+ rights and mental health issues. \nClick here to join on Zoom on May 22 at 7:30.  Suggested donation is $20 per person. Give more if you can\, less if you can’t. All are welcome and no one will be turned away! All donations should be sent to Heather Mae via PayPal (heathermaemusic@gmail.com)\, Venmo (@heathermaemusic)\, or Cashapp ($heathermaemusic)\, with a note that says “May 22nd – Theodore Parker Concert”. If you have trouble signing up and/or paying\, contact musiconcentre@gmail.com.
