AN EVENING WITH 
LEON REDBONE

Saturday, March 26
8:00 PM

While his gravelly baritone and omnipresent fedora, dark glasses and Groucho Marx moustache 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

JAY UNGAR and
MOLLY MASON

Thursday, March 31
8:00 PM

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. 

In concert, Jay and Molly welcome audiences with their comfortable sense of fun and enjoyment as they take you on a musical journey spanning two centuries and two continents. Through their active touring schedule Jay and Molly continue to share their special brand of musical joy with delighted audiences across the country. If you love American acoustic music, don't miss this exciting evening of fiddling and singing with Jay Ungar & Molly Mason. 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.
