UPCOMING EVENTS:
It’s a holiday weekend with most venues being dark for the weekend, so here are a few upcoming events for you to plan ahead!
BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY / Tupelo Music Hall (Derry) / September 8th at 8pm
April, 2022, marked the 29th anniversary of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s remarkable arrival onto the music scene. Since its formation in the early nineties in Ventura, California, the band has toured virtually nonstop, performing on average over 150 shows a year, and has produced a sizable catalog of recorded music, with sales of over 2 million albums to date. Early on, during their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in Los Angeles, they reminded the world, in the midst of the grunge era no less, that it was still cool to swing. The band, co- founded by singer Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren, was at the forefront of the swing revival of that time, blending a vibrant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz, swing, and dixieland, with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture. www.tupelomusichall.com or (603)437-5100
JONATHAN EDWARDS / Rex Theatre (Manchester) / September 10th at 7:30pm
Warm as summer sunshine, real as the truth, intimate as a long overdue visit between old friends … such is a Jonathan Edwards concert. Four decades into a stellar career of uncompromising musical integrity, the man simply delivers, night after night – songs of passion, songs of insight, songs of humor, all rendered in that pure and powerful tenor which, like fine wine, has only grown sweeter with age. This is one veteran performer who is neither grizzled nor nostalgic. These days Jonathan is likely to be found on the road. I’ve been…doing what I do best, which is playing live in front of people. I’ve been concentrating on that and loving it,” he says. www.rextheatre.org or (603)668-5588
DANIEL TOSH (LIVE) / Chubb Theatre – CCANH (Concord) / September 10th at 7pm & 9:30pm
