Gaelic StormGaelic Storm, a multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and after two decades and over 2000 shows, they are a true force to be reckoned with.It’s hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success, but that’s exactly what makes a true anomaly.

They are as loyal to their fans as the fans are to them, as front man Patrick Murphy states, “The fans are the ones that have given us this life. We’re here for them.”Gaelic Storm takes a true blue-collar, hard-nose approach to touring, consistently traveling the US and internationally forging a unique path in the Celtic music world. “You have to see us live. We are the true working-man’s’ band,” says longtime member Ryan Lacey. “We still, and most likely always will, tour most of the year, and that’s how we constantly hone our craft.” |

James MaddockFirehouse Center for the Arts, Newburyport James Maddock’s status as a fixture on the Folk and Americana scene is confirmed with every listen of any song in his prodigious catalog. Relix Magazine put it this way: “James Maddock possesses the kind of lived-in craggy voice that would sound authoritative if he were singing the sports pages. Fortunately, he doesn’t need to do that because his compositional skills are a match for his delivery.” |

NO STATIC: Tribute to Steely DanNo Static, one of the few Steely Dan tribute bands in the country, is made up of 10 musicians from around the Boston area. They specialize in expertly performing the music of "Steely Dan." Re-creating that bluesy jazz-rock sound that sprung from the fertile imaginations of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker is no small feat. As you Dan-Fans know, the tunes are convoluted and complex, spanning many genres; very precise, with time changes and key changes popping up where sometimes least expected. Vocally and musically challenging, this is not an easy band to pay tribute to.
No Static has been doing it for over 10 years now and their sold-out shows tell the tale. They work at it and they get it right. Over the years they have been lucky enough to share the stage with Steely Dan band members, Walt Weiskopf (saxophonist) and Jon Herington (Music Director/guitarist).

Vista Philharmonic Orchestra – Composed Connections Maestro Hangen has chosen a trio of quintessential jazz-influenced American composers – with whom he shares connections – for a dynamically diverse first half. As Music Director for Omaha Symphony in 1986, he commissioned David Amram to write the program’s opening American Dance Suite. As a conducting fellow at the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood in the 1970’s, our conductor counted Boston’s Gunther Schuller and Lawrence-born legend Leonard Bernstein as teachers. The second half showcases our virtual pipe organ with Alexandre Guilmant’s full-blown, French Romantic symphony, featuring returning guest organist Randy Steere, a long-time Vista Philharmonic patron and donor of this extraordinary instrument.
