SUMMARY:Mike Dawes
DESCRIPTION:“technical virtuosity and passion… compelling” – Acoustic Guitar\n  \nMike Dawes is an English guitarist known for composing\, arranging\, and performing multiple parts simultaneously on a single guitar. He is regarded as one of the world’s most creative modern fingerstyle guitarists. Also\, his repertoire includes original viral videos and popular arrangements alongside mainstream chart success performing with Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues. \nDawes was named Best Acoustic Guitarist in the World two years in a row (2017 & 2018) by Total Guitar Magazine & Music Radar reader polls\, with numerous second place rankings in the proceeding years. YouTube personality Rick Beato named Mike “one of the finest acoustic guitar players in the world.”  \nHis debut release\, a solo guitar arrangement of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know\,” quickly became a viral hit. Moreover\, it received tens of millions of views on YouTube. This success has been duplicated and expanded upon numerous times. He’s scored hits with songs like “One\,” “The Impossible\,” and “Jump” across multiple video platforms.  \nHis reputation has invited him opportunities to collaborate with Grammy Award-winning artists such as Tommy Emmanuel. Together\, they recorded the duet record Accomplice Vol.3. Dawes also worked with the Grammy-nominated metal band Periphery\, joining them on their 2024 double single release. Mike is featured on multiple Justin Hayward live releases\, including Spirits…Live\, which debuted at Number Two on the US Billboard Chart.  \nRecently\, he contributed electric guitars to Mentrix and Gareth Croker’s stunning soundtrack to Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Additionally\, he has done other session work on TV shows such as AMC’s Better Call Saul. \nMike’s passion\, however\, is performing. He has shared the stage with acts as diverse as Tommy Emmanuel\, Christopher Cross\, Periphery\, The Aristocrats\, Justin Hayward\, and the Athens State Orchestra in 2023 alone.  \nRecommended for fans of Tommy Emmanuel\, Andy McKee\, Kaki King and Trace Bundy.

SUMMARY:Judy Collins: Sweet Judy Blue Eyes - Farewell
DESCRIPTION:“One of the most beautiful and moving voices” – Rolling Stone\n  \nJudy Collins inspires audiences with her sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and unwavering commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly. Here\, new generations bask in the glow of her iconic fifty-five-album body of work. Also\, they draw inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. \nFans and critics highly esteem the award-winning singer-songwriter for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards. Moreover\, she also receives acclaim for her own poetically poignant original compositions. For instance\, the Grammy Hall of Fame includes her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now”. Judy’s dreamy\, intimate version of Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns\,” won Song of the Year at the 1975 Grammys. Furthermore\, she’s garnered several top-ten hits and gold- and platinum-selling albums. \nThe cultural treasure’s fifty-fifth release\, 2022’s Spellbound\, documents Judy’s artistic renaissance. Additionally\, the album is a special entry in her oeuvre. It marks the first time ever she wrote all the songs on one of her albums. Here\, Collins showcases twelve new recently-written modern folk songs\, and a bonus track of her evergreen\, “The Blizzard.” Thus\, Spellbound is an introspective and impressionistic album. \n“They say after the plague came the Renaissance\,” Judy says with a good-natured laugh. “The truth is\, I didn’t do an album like this sooner because I had other projects on my mind. Now felt like the perfect time to make this record because\, after all that’s happened in the world\, we need something beautiful and inspirational to lift us up.” \nRecommended for fans of Joan Baez\, Joni Mitchell\, Nanci Griffith and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

SUMMARY:John Scofield's Electrospective
DESCRIPTION:“Scofield is one of the most prolific and admired jazz musicians of his generation” – NPR\n  \nThrough his fifty-four-year career\, three-time Grammy Award winner John Scofield has occasionally detoured from the traditions of straight-ahead jazz. There\, he explores a blend of funk and jazz that has led to some of his most popular projects. In 2026\, Scofield looks back at many of his now classic fusion groove compositions with Electrospective.  \nNot intending to replicate earlier fan favorites\, he plans instead to revisit them with the seasoned perspective of several decades. Here\, he culls tunes from his Blue Matter\, Uberjam\, and AGoGo bands\, each responsible for a few recordings. Additionally\, he will play new material in the same vein.  \nMoreover\, Scofield looks forward to teaming up with a stellar band of colleagues. Electrospective will rely on interpretative input from Scofield alum and super funk drummer/producer Adam Deitch (Lettuce). Also\, multidimensional Larry Goldings (Scary Goldings\, James Taylor) on keyboards. Additionally\, legendary bassist Oteil Burbridge (Dead & Co.\, Tedeschi Trucks\, Allman Brothers). With this repertoire so frequently (and loudly) requested by audience members\, Scofield is glad to have a band that will truly do the music justice. \nRecommended for fans of Pat Metheny\, Lettuce\, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe and Medeski\, Martin & Wood.
