News for The Kent Stage
Third Anniversary Month
It is hard to image that three years ago at 8:00PM on March 22nd, 2002 Lucy Kaplanski sung the first note on the stage of The Kent Stage. This was the second "first" involving sound to happen in March at the 78-year history of this old vaudeville/movie theater. On March 25, 1928, The New Kent Theater,as it was known back then, presented a new-type of movie, "The Jazz Singer" featuring Al Jolson. It was the first "Talkie" movie in Portage County. Since then this theater has seen many changes over the years, including being divided into two theaters, being a "dollar movie" house and becoming THE folk venue in Northeast Ohio. Since Lucy played the Stage, a number of the best musicians in the world have come to Kent to provide you with special evenings at a special place. Not to name drop, but we have presented Joan Baez, John Gorka, Richie Havens, Bo Diddley, Greg Brown, John McCutcheon, Cheryl Wheeler, Johnny Johnson,Tom Paxton, Janis Ian, Nickel Creek, Ralph Stanley, Mike
Marshall & Chris Thile, Darol Anger, Vassar Clements, John Cowan, Riders In The Sky, Donna The Buffalo, Eddie From Ohio, Jimmy Johnson, the Jazz Mandolin Project, Robin And Linda Williams, John McCutcheon, Cappercaile, Andy M. Stewart, Gerry O'Beirne, Cathy Ryan, Teada, Boys Of The Lough, Makem Brothers, Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, Melanie, Livingston Taylor, Peter Rowan, Tom Rush, India Arie, as well as some great performers from the 70's/80's including Ambrosia, Jonathan Edwards, Little Feat, Karla Bonoff, Andy Pratt, Brian Auger, Al Stewart, and even a Beatle, Pete Best, plus many more local, national and international artists! Additionally, we have presented Up From The River, a regional music festival (three times), portions of the Kent State Folk Festival each year, two New Year's Eve concerts, a blues festival, a film festival, Rotary and Townhall II fund-raisers, two community theater ensembles, children's theater workshops and other community activities. And some thought
we would close after the first month! To celebrate our first three years, we have put together a month of concerts which represent the wide variety of music performed at your favorite concert venue! From bluegrass to the blues, from singer-songwriters to crooners, from the humorous to the serious, and from jam bands to olde-timey, we have tried to provide something for everyone during the 31 days of March. Thank you for your first three years of support.
Please enjoy these offerings.
March 9 Donna The Buffalo with Big Leg Emma 8PM Tickets: $15 students/$17public advance & $20 door
The band was conceived in 1987 in order to play a single gig at the "Cabbage Town Coffee House" (now defunct) in Ithaca NY - we had been jamming in our living rooms for months and decided to go public. Needing a name to put on the poster, we bought a bottle of whiskey and commenced talking. The first name we liked was "Palmakartney", but we worried about lawsuits. Someone suggested a more serious name - "Dawn of the Buffalo". It was heard as "Donna the Buffalo", which stuck.
Donna the Buffalo's uplifting grooves and pointed lyrics are quickly earning the band one of the largest cult followings in the music world today. Funky and danceable with a message of tribal philosophy and celebration, Donna the Buffalo's music is a unique blend of reggae, rock, country, zydeco, Cajun, and folk traditions.
To create its uniquely upbeat vibe, Big Leg Emma uses bits and pieces of bluegrass, country, folk, funk, reggae, roots rock, and everything in between. It all comes together beautifully, with every song standing out as tight and precise yet loose and entertaining, leaving you pleasantly invigorated by these twelve remarkable jam sessions.
In only three years of existence, Big Leg Emma has already performed everywhere from New York to Tennessee to Ohio, building a strong following along the festival circuit and sharing the stage with the likes of Rusted Root front man Mike Glabicki, 10,000 Maniacs, Max Creek, and numerous others. Right from the start, the band's reputation as a memorable live act grew rapidly, but so did the demand for a recording. With that in mind, the band decided to find a space, throw a party with a bunch of fans and friends, and record it. The result was the fourteen-track debut album Gramma Don't Like That!
March 11 Cheryl Wheeler and Kenny White
8PM Tickets : $14 adv/$18 door
Cheryl Wheeler has to be seen to be appreciated. Nothing you read and nothing you hear from her album prepares you for how good a performer she is. From her albums you can tell that she is a gifted songwriter with a beautiful voice. From other people's comments about her you can learn that she is a natural story teller with a fantastic sense of humor. But until you see her in person, you never really believe what you've been told about her.
Cheryl's concerts are more like what you would find at a comedy club than expect to find at a folk music concert. She will tell a story that has you rolling in the aisles, and then sing a song that leaves you wiping tears from your eyes. She will talk about some serious current event, and then sing a song that will have you howling with laughter. Her entire concert is a emotional roller coaster.
Few artists would attempt to cover as much ground as Kenny White, and even fewer would be as successful. A native New Yorker, Kenny spent many years in the Boston area before returning to the Big Apple. Since then he has become one of the most sought after producers, composers, and pianists in NYC. He's written and arranged literally hundreds of TV and radio commercials, many of which are indelibly printed in your mind! In this capacity he enjoyed working with Linda Ronstadt, Dwight Yoakam, Gladys Knight, Aaron Neville, Ricky Skaggs, Kathy Mattea, Al Jarreau and others. His production of Shawn Colvin's "I Don't Know Why" from her Fat City CD earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Female Vocal. Aside from his work behind the scenes, Kenny is simply a dazzling piano player. He's played with many great artists including Keith Richards, James Taylor, Emmylou Harris and the Neville Bros., earning praise in countless reviews in the United States and around the world. We've been
privileged to hear him accompanying Jonathan Edwards many times at the Towne Crier. After years of supporting other artists, Kenny has now taken the spotlight and accomplished what he long ago set out to do: he's made two terrific albums and is gathering multitudes of devoted new fans all over the US.
March 18 Vassar Clements with One Way Rider 8PM Tickets: $15 adv/$20 door
Vassar Clements is one of the world's finest, and probably the world's most versatile fiddle players alive today. His career began at a very early age. His phenomenal ability to virtually play any kind of music (bluegrass, country, pop, rock, jazz and swing) has garnered him various awards, including five Grammy nominations and a track record that involves multitudes of recording performances. His performing and recording experience has been so diverse, the list reads like "Who's Who" of fiddle players.
Clements first came to prominence as a member of Bill Monroe's band in the early '50s, but he never limited himself to traditional bluegrass. Over the next four decades, he distinguished himself by incorporating a number of different genres into his style. In the process, he became not only one of the most respected fiddlers in bluegrass, he also became a sought-after session musician, playing with artists as diverse as the Monkees, Hank Williams, Paul McCartney, Michelle Shocked, Vince Gill, and Bonnie Raitt.
One Way Rider is a family band that performs a unique combination of Traditional Bluegrass, Newgrass, Country, Gospel, Acappella & Progressive appalachian. Consisting of mother Valerie Fay, father David Lee, & their children Amanda Lynn, Chittlin', & Bass Boy. Together they create an enchanting spectrum of sound, that sends the listener on a mystical journey through time. With an entertaining and comedic stage show that the entire family is sure to enjoy.
"One Way Rider are a throwback to a more simple and wholesome time in American music in which traditional family values and musicianship were more important than image and electronics. One Way Riders music can best be described as Bluegrass, although there is a healthy dose of Country and Appalachian music on their latest disk Guesses River, as well as an amazingly effective "Newgrass" cover of Tom Pettys' "Won't Back Down" which translates wonderfully to the genre. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this disk are the abilities of the two youngest Mayfields, Bass Boy and Jessica. Jessica, nicknamed "Chitllin'' by her family (who seem to have a fondness for such things), has a vocal presence that far exceeds her years. She is definitely worth watching over the next decade. Bass Boy is, in so many words, amazing. This young man is a multi-instrumentalist, being equally comfortable on bass, guitar, and mandolin. He also served as this disks producer. This disk is a must have item for
anyone with an interest in truly American music. " —Jon Epstein, Rocklists
March 19 Andy Cohen and Friends
8PM Tickets: $10 adv/$12 door
Andy Cohen has been playing one kind of old time music or another since he was barely tall enough to reach the piano keys. His best-known virtuosity is in the blues — the good old, honest, down-to-earth, licks-filled acoustic blues. He is lucky (and old) enough to have learned directly from some of the greats, including Jim Brewer, Pink Andersen, Honeyboy Edwards, Rev. Dan Smith, Daniel Womack, and many more. He is a scholar of the works of Rev. Gary Davis, and comes just about as close as anyone can to replicating Rev. Davis' intricate style of guitar playing.
Andy's blues work is studied and appreciated by blues scholars and casual listeners alike. But as he considers folk music to be One Big Thing, Andy's repertoire is broader than that, including old-time string band music, gospel, Celtic fiddle tunes, country songs, piano rags, southern mountain music and English Music Hall material. His influences, correspondingly broad, range from Rev. Gary to Uncle Dave Macon, James P. Johnson to the Carter family, Woody Guthrie and Jimmy Rodgers to Harry Partch. Proficient on the 6 and 12 string guitar he is a talented player of fiddle, 5-string banjo, piano, mandolin and autoharp, and he is the only performing Dolceolist anywhere. Great grandfather to the Casio, the Dolceola is a chord zither with a keyboard, vintage early 1900s. It is played like a piano, and sounds similar to a harpsichord.
Andy Cohen has adapted the late Piedmont blues/gospel guitarist/singer, Reverend Gary Davis's musical technique to an eclectic range of music. While he paid tribute to Davis's repertoire with his 1997 album, The Sacred Songs Of Rev. Gary Davis, Cohen has incorporated old Southern music, country blues, ragtime, gospel, old timey and field hollers to his Davis-like acoustic guitar finger-picking. Establishing his career in his native Ohio, Cohen took an ethnomusicologist-like approach to the area's musical roots. He spent countless hours visiting and studying with master blues and folk musicians, learning songs that he subsequently performed at folk festivals and coffeehouses throughout the United States. Since relocating to Memphis, to marry multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Larakin Bryant, in September 1996, Cohen has become one of the Tennessee city's busiest musicians. In addition to performing, with his wife, as a duo, Cohen has served as president of the Beale Street Blues Society
and has directed the Kent State Folk Festival. With his wife, he launched an independent record label, Riverlark Mark, to release albums of mostly Southern traditional music.
March 26 Leon Redbone Third Anniversary Concert
8PM Tickets $20 advance/$25 door
As a Thank You gift to you;
***First 100 purchasers can buy one at full price and second at 1/2 off. ***
While his gravelly baritone and omnipresent fedora, dark glasses and Groucho Marx mustache made him one of the more distinct and recognizable characters in popular music, little is known about the neo-vaudeville crooner Leon Redbone.
Throughout his career, he steadfastly refused to divulge any information about his background or personal life; according to legend, Redbone's desire to protect his privacy was so intense that when he was approached by the famed producer John Hammond, the contact number he gave was not his own phone, but that of a Dial-A-Joke service.
Because Redbone first emerged as a performer in Toronto during the 1970s, he was believed to be Canadian; his work, a revival of pre-World War II ragtime, jazz and blues sounds, recalled the work of performers ranging from Jelly Roll Morton and Bing Crosby to blackface star Emmett Miller. He made his recording debut in 1976 with On the Track, which featured legendary jazz violinist Joe Venuti as well as singer/songwriter Don McLean; his 1977 follow-up Double Time even reached the U.S. Top 40 charts, largely on the strength of his frequent appearances on television's "Saturday Night Live."
After 1978's Champagne Charlie, Redbone began recording only sporadically; following 1981's Branch to Branch, he waited four years before re-entering the studio to cut Red to Blue. Invariably, his albums featured guest appearances from a eclectic cast of luminaries: while 1987's Christmas Island included a cameo by Dr. John, 1994's Whistling in the Wind included duets with Ringo Starr and Merle Haggard.
Despite his low profile, Redbone also earned a certain measure of fame as a fixture in various television advertising campaigns. —Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
March 31 Jay Ungar and Molly Mason
7:30 PM Tickets: $20 adv/$25 door
Jay Ungar & Molly Mason achieved international acclaim when their performance of Jay's composition, Ashokan Farewell, became the musical hallmark of Ken Burns' The Civil War on PBS. The soundtrack won a Grammy and Ashokan Farewell was nominated for an Emmy. The piece was originally inspired by Jay & Molly's Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps in New York's Catskill Mountains, which are still going strong today.
In recent years Jay and Molly have reached an ever widening audience through their appearances on Great Performances, A Prairie Home Companion, their own public radio specials, and through their work on film soundtracks such as, Brother's Keeper, Legends of the Fall and a host of Ken Burns' PBS documentaries.

Best known for their haunting rendition of Ungar's "Ashokan Farewell," the theme of the Grammy Award winning soundtrack of PBS' The Civil War, Ungar & Mason bring to the stage their incomparable warmth and wit, and consummate musicianship.
Their timeless renditions of hard driving Appalachian, Cajun and Celtic fiddle tunes, stirring Civil War classics, sweet and sassy songs from the golden age of swing and country, achingly beautiful waltzes, plus deeply moving original compositions have received widespread critical acclaim. It's a concert for all ages, designed to warm your heart and and feed your soul.

<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">"One Way Rider are a throwback to a more simple and wholesome time in American music in which traditional family values and musicianship were more important than image and electronics. One Way Riders music can best be described as Bluegrass, although there is a healthy dose of Country and Appalachian music on their latest disk <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Guesses</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">River</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, as well as an amazingly effective "Newgrass" cover of Tom Pettys' "Won't Back Down" which translates wonderfully to the genre. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this disk are the abilities of the two youngest Mayfields, <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Bass Boy</SPAN></STRONG> and Jessica. Jessica, nicknamed <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">"Chitllin''</SPAN></STRONG> by her family (who seem to have a fondness for such things), has a vocal presence that far
exceeds her years. She is definitely worth watching over the next decade. Bass Boy is, in so many words, amazing. This young man is a multi-instrumentalist, being equally comfortable on bass, guitar, and mandolin. He also served as this disks producer. This disk is a must have item for anyone with an interest in truly American music. " —Jon Epstein, Rocklists </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 18pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">March 19 <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Andy Cohen and Friends </SPAN></STRONG><B><BR></B></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">8PM Tickets: $10 adv/$12 door</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Andy Cohen</SPAN></B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> has been playing one kind of old time music or another since he was barely tall enough to reach the piano keys. His best-known virtuosity is in the blues — the good old, honest, down-to-earth, licks-filled acoustic blues. He is lucky (and old) enough to have learned directly from some of the greats, including Jim Brewer, Pink Andersen, Honeyboy Edwards, Rev. Dan Smith, Daniel Womack, and many more. He is a scholar of the works of Rev. Gary Davis, and comes just about as close as anyone can to replicating Rev. Davis' intricate style of guitar playing. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Andy's blues work is studied and appreciated by blues scholars and casual listeners alike. But as he considers folk music to be One Big Thing, Andy's repertoire is broader than that, including old-time string band music, gospel, Celtic fiddle tunes, country songs, piano rags, southern mountain music and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">English</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Music Hall</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> material. His influences, correspondingly broad, range from Rev. Gary to Uncle Dave Macon, James P. Johnson to the Carter family, Woody Guthrie and Jimmy Rodgers to Harry Partch. Proficient on the 6 and 12 string guitar he is a talented player of fiddle, 5-string banjo, piano, mandolin and autoharp, and he is the only performing Dolceolist anywhere. Great grandfather to the Casio, the Dolceola is a chord zither with a keyboard, vintage early 1900s. It is played like a piano, and sounds similar to a
harpsichord. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Andy Cohen has adapted the late Piedmont blues/gospel guitarist/singer, Reverend Gary Davis's musical technique to an eclectic range of music. While he paid tribute to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Davis</st1:place></st1:City>'s repertoire with his 1997 album, The Sacred Songs Of Rev. Gary Davis, Cohen has incorporated old Southern music, country blues, ragtime, gospel, old timey and field hollers to his Davis-like acoustic guitar finger-picking. Establishing his career in his native <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ohio</st1:place></st1:State>, Cohen took an ethnomusicologist-like approach to the area's musical roots. He spent countless hours visiting and studying with master blues and folk musicians, learning songs that he subsequently performed at folk festivals and coffeehouses throughout the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Since relocating
to <st1:City w:st="on">Memphis</st1:City>, to marry multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Larakin Bryant, in September 1996, Cohen has become one of the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Tennessee</st1:place></st1:State> city's busiest musicians. In addition to performing, with his wife, as a duo, Cohen has served as president of the Beale Street Blues Society and has directed the <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Kent State Folk Festival</SPAN></STRONG>. With his wife, he launched an independent record label, Riverlark Mark, to release albums of mostly Southern traditional music.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">While his gravelly baritone and omnipresent fedora, dark glasses and Groucho Marx mustache made him one of the more distinct and recognizable characters in popular music, little is known about the neo-vaudeville crooner <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Leon Redbone</SPAN></STRONG>. </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Throughout his career, he steadfastly refused to divulge any information about his background or personal life; according to legend, Redbone's desire to protect his privacy was so intense that when he was approached by the famed producer <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">John Hammond</SPAN></STRONG>, the contact number he gave was not his own phone, but that of a Dial-A-Joke service. </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Because Redbone first emerged as a performer in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Toronto</st1:place></st1:City> during the 1970s, he was believed to be Canadian; his work, a revival of pre-World War II ragtime, jazz and blues sounds, recalled the work of performers ranging from Jelly Roll Morton and Bing Crosby to blackface star Emmett Miller. He made his recording debut in 1976 with On the Track, which featured legendary jazz violinist Joe Venuti as well as singer/songwriter <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Don McLean</SPAN></STRONG>; his 1977 follow-up Double Time even reached the U.S. Top 40 charts, largely on the strength of his frequent appearances on television's <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">"Saturday Night Live."</SPAN></STRONG> </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">After 1978's Champagne Charlie, Redbone began recording only sporadically; following 1981's Branch to Branch, he waited four years before re-entering the studio to cut Red to Blue. Invariably, his albums featured guest appearances from a eclectic cast of luminaries: while 1987's <st1:place w:st="on">Christmas Island</st1:place> included a cameo by Dr. John, 1994's Whistling in the Wind included duets with<STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> Ringo Starr and Merle Haggard</SPAN></STRONG>. </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Despite his low profile, Redbone also earned a certain measure of fame as a fixture in various television advertising campaigns. —Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
