AMERICANA MUSIC

 Five O’Clock Shadow (FOCS) is a dynamic and engaging a cappella group hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, known for their ability to create a full band sound using only their voices.

Their intricate vocal arrangements are a hallmark, both in their critically acclaimed original music and their distinctive covers. What makes FOCS stand out is their innovative use of effects – previously used exclusively by instrumentalists – employed real-time to build the sound, feel, and vibe of a rock concert.   

The band’s refreshingly authentic rapport among themselves and with their audiences produces a unique and thoroughly entertaining experience each time they hit the stage. Concert-goers of all ages have cheered the band’s performances at venues ranging from Boston’s Leader Band Pavilion and Symphony Hall to performing arts venues in Japan and all points in between.  

The Deep Blue C Studio Orchestra is returning to the Firehouse Performing Arts Center and will present a concert entitled, A Christmas to Remember. The 17-piece orchestra will be playing the Christmas songs that you most love.

You will hear favorites such as, Do You Hear What I Hear, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, A Grown Up Christmas List, White Christmas, Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree, and many more. The DBCSO  is made up of woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings as in a symphony orchestra. It also includes a rhythm section of guitar, bass, keyboards, percussionist, and drum set as in a jazz combo or show orchestra. The orchestra also includes four outstanding vocalists!

Join us for an uplifting hour of live music featuring timeless classics, specially curated for adults 55 and up. Whether you come to relax, reminisce, or connect with neighbors, this gathering is all about community, conversation, and the joy of great music, together. Light refreshments will be served. To make the arts accessible to everyone, this event will be on a pay-what-you-can basis.
