SUMMARY:Below Centre
DESCRIPTION:Instruments that play the bass parts are often the unsung heroes of the symphonic band. The public can name famous trumpeters and flutists\, but it’s pretty difficult to name a famous euphonium player. The musicians of Below Centre might just change that\, as they create a melodic bass presence on the Allen Street stage.

SUMMARY:Eric Brace and the Last Train Home
DESCRIPTION:For more than a quarter century\, Last Train Home has been one of the most dynamic\, fun\, creative\, and adventurous bands you’ll ever hear\, blending rock and country with bluegrass\, swing\, Tin Pan Alley\, lush pop\, and barrelhouse blues. Since its debut recording in 1997 right up through its 2023 release Everything Will Be\, Last Train Home has followed a path unlike any other. Frontman Eric Brace is an acclaimed singer and songwriter with a parallel career in the acoustic folk world\, but with Last Train Home\, he shows there’s much more to him that that. \nAfter a concert in January 2024\, a reviewer for the americanahighways.org website wrote that LTH was “a full-tilt rock and soul revue\, firing on all cylinders.” \nWith members in Nashville\, Washington D.C.\, and Bucks County\, PA\, the band’s live shows are rarer these days than they used to be\, but the group continues to create powerful music together.
