Windborne
After touring internationally and attracting an enthusiastic following on social media, Windborne performs at Alberta Rose Theatre Sunday, February 11, 2024. The 8 p.m. concert is expected to sell out, so you are encouraged to get your tickets as soon as possible. Old songs and bold harmony combine for a profound vocal experience. This captivating show will draw on the singers’ deep roots in traditions of vocal harmony, while the absolute uniqueness of the group’s artistic approach brings old songs into the present. Known for the innovation of their arrangements, Windborne’s harmonies are anything but predictable. With deep local roots and a 20-year background studying polyphonic music around the world, Lauren Breunig, Jeremy Carter-Gordon, Lynn Rowan, and Will Rowan share a vibrant energy onstage with a blending of voices that can only come from decades of friendship alongside dedicated practice. The ensemble shifts effortlessly between drastically different styles of music, drawing their audience along on a journey that spans continents and centuries, illuminating and expanding on the profound power and variation of the human voice. The singers educate as they entertain, sharing stories about their songs and explaining the context and characteristics of the styles in which they sing. BBC Traveling Folk describes Windborne as “subverting expectations and redefining the genre… just absolutely phenomenal!” Audiences and critics lavish praise upon the singers not only for their technical mastery, but for the passion, engagement, and connection with each other and the audience that imbues each performance with a rare power. But there’s another, crucial dimension to Windborne that guides and roots their artistry. They are adherents to folk music’s longtime alliance with social activism, labor and civil rights, and other movements that champion the oppressed, the poor, and the disenfranchised. Their latest project, Of Hard Times & Harmony, explores themes of social consciousness, singing in four languages and showcasing the depth of emotion their voices can evoke, as well as moments of true hilarity and wit. The group is committed to bringing vocal traditions to a younger audience and over the past year has found viral success on TikTok for such unusual genres as Corsican polyphony or early 20th century labor anthems.

On A Winter’s Night – featuring Patty Larkin, John Gorka, and Cliff Eberhardt
Presenting the Reunion Tour of “On A Winter’s Night” from veteran singer-songwriters that remain among the brightest stars of the singer/songwriter movement for the past three decades. In 1994 Christine Lavin gathered them together, along with folk and Americana artists to showcase music of the Winter Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD, followed by several years of touring collaborations. These artists have released dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades, with fond memories of their touring days together. The winter season is again celebrated by these unique and popular performers, back together by popular demand.FEATURING:PATTY LARKINShe redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising lyrics and vocals. Acoustic Guitar Magazine hails her, “soundscape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her, “evocative and sonic shading.” She has been described as, “riveting” (Chicago Tribune), “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly), and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter). CLIFF EBERHARDTOne of the most original songsmiths currently on tour, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent, articulate artist whose penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guitar playing. Upon close listening, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. Whether he’s out on tour solo or with a small band, Eberhardt’s guitar playing, singing, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling, thought-filled, emotional roller coaster of a concert.JOHN GORKAHailed by Rolling Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk scene. Boston Globe penned Gorka “for the sophisticated intelligence and the provocative originality of his songs.”LUCY KAPLANSKYUnfortunately, Lucy is not able to perform tonight, due to covid. She is sitting this one out, but sends her best wishes to all.Tickets:General Admission $38At the Door $45Preferred Seating $57 (seating in the first 7 rows of the center section) Minors ok with parent/guardianReview our Health & Safety Policies HERE
