2011-2012 SEASON

Dakota Blonde

Saturday, March 24, 2012, 7pm at Jefferson Unitarian Church

Along with her crystal clear Emmylou Harris vocals, Dakota Blonde front woman Mary Huckins contributes flute and keyboard accompaniment to the band’s sweet and steady guitars. The result packs a big punch with well-crafted original works and a live performance that pairs the energy of lively night out with the sincerity of an evening spent with your oldest friends.

David Scheel

Saturday, May 5, 2012, 7pm at Jefferson Unitarian Church

David Scheel turns classical music on its head. As a pianist-comedian, Scheel has made something of a speciality of having fun at the expense of classical music. A well-known folk tune played in the styles of various old masters (plus an i-Pod mini!), a piece by Bach played with one hand, and another by Andrew Lloyd Webber with the other hand (at the same time!), a mini-concerto based on the 2 worst tunes ever written...These, plus topical sideswipes at the icons of modern living, politicians, and whoever is making the news, and all delivered in an enormous range of comic voices and accents, have led to frequent comparisons with the likes of Victor Borge, Robin Williams and Peter Ustinov.

So, if you want to hear beautiful piano music, and laugh yourself silly at the same time, then David’s multi-award winning show, "Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only the Piano Player", a hit in London’s West End and right across the USA, is a must-see event!

Boulder Chamber Orchestra

Saturday, December 17, 2011, 7pm at Jefferson Unitarian Church

The Boulder Chamber Orchestra brings life to the music that has been a part of our cultural fabric for hundreds of years, even if it doesn’t get much airplay on MTV. Enjoy their upcoming performance of “Festivity,” a Baroque ensemble inspired by the season. The evening pairs masters, including Rameau and Bach, with lesser-known works for a robust orchestral experience.

Loose Cannon Bluegrass

Saturday, February 11, 2012, 7pm at Jefferson Unitarian Church

Loose Cannon Bluegrass earns their reputation as one of the leading country bluegrass bands in the west. Swinging from lively banjo-laden jumpers to sweet gospel ballads, the band tells earnest historical tales and stories of a rural life. But, despite the country roots, these songs are no simpler than broken hearts and calloused palms are.
