Shelby Lynn
With a powerful voice and a gift for unflinchingly honest, soul-baring
lyrics, singer/songwriter Shelby Lynne brings audiences into her personal
circle and takes them on the full tour of her heart. Although her career has
taken her far from her early days in Nashville, she has never left behind
the musical traditions of her Southern roots. The sounds of country, blues
and soul weave through her most recent album, Revelation Road, and provide
the fabric behind this deeply personal reflection on her life and the
rewards of understanding and acceptance.

Peter Hatcher has a problem – his little brother Fudge is ruining his life! Even worse, everyone except Peter seems to think he’s adorable. Can Peter learn to love Fudge even when he does terrible things? Judy Blume’s understanding of what it’s really like to be a kid has made this story a modern classic.

Beethoven: Symphony No. 1
De Falla: El Sombrero de Tres Picos
(Three-Cornered Hat)
Franck: Symphony in D Minor
Lara Webber, guest conductor
Maestro Lara Webber, former associate conductor of the Baltimore Symphony and current Livermore resident, is guest conductor for an evening of contrasting and distinctive musical styles. The program opens with the work Ludwig van Beethoven called his “Grande Simphonie”. Its surprising opening and allegro molto e vivace sprint to the finish launched a musical revolution. Selections from Manuel De Falla’s El sombrero de tres picos (Three-Cornered Hat) will whisk the audience away to a village in Spain. César Franck’s symphony in D minor provides the dual pleasures of a cyclical construction which fascinates musical theorists and a melodic richness; it will bring the evening to a close with one of the most ear-catching tunes of the symphonic repertoire.
Lara Webber, as assistant and associate conductor of the Baltimore
Symphony Orchestra, programmed and conducted over 80 concerts annually,
including classical subscription, educational, pops, and community programs.
She previously was associate conductor of the Charleston (S.C.) Symphony
Orchestra and music director and conductor of the Los Angeles Debut
Orchestra, a post previously held by André Previn and Michael Tilson Thomas.
Webber has guest-conducted the orchestras of Annapolis, Houston, Pittsburgh,
San Antonio, and Louisville; and the Chicago Sinfonietta. Also experienced
in opera, Ms. Webber was assistant conductor at Glimmerglass Opera and
conductor of the Baltimore Opera Studio’s production of Don Giovanni.

March 31st features live music from Motordude Zydeco: Formed in 1989, Motordude Zydeco creates a distinctive yet roots-oriented music blending traditional zydeco with original songs and rhythm and blues, and won the "Best Zydeco Band" award in 2005 by the Bay Area Blues Society.
Then, mark your calendars for May 19th for the Mark St. Mary and the
Delta Blues & Zydeco Band! Awarded the "Best Zydeco Band" in 2007 by Bay
Area Blues Society and crowned "The Delta King" at the Isleton Crawfish
Festival, Mark's been playing his traditional style of Zydeco music since
the age of 12. Mark knows what it means to "Laissez les bon temps rouler!"
For both events, enjoy free dance lessons with professional dance
instructor, “Zydeco Ted Sherrod” at 6pm and around 8pm. Ted travels
extensively to Texas/Louisiana; teaches Zydeco dance in New Orleans and
teaches throughout California. He has a smooth Creole style.
Zydeco ("snap beans") is a form of American roots or folk music that
evolved from the French speaking Creoles of color of south and southwest
Louisiana. Usually fast-tempo, and dominated by the button or piano
accordion and a washboard known as a rub-board or frottoir, zydeco music was
originally created at house dances where people gathered for socializing.
For over 70 years, the San Francisco Bay area has welcomed the migration of
so many Creole and Cajun people that it can now proudly say that we have the
largest population outside of Louisiana itself. Zydeco dances create a
chance for all to gather, mingle and socialize (as well as dance!) and
engage newcomers in the fun of a creole house dance. All are welcome.

Born and raised in Westland, Mich., about 30 minutes west of Detroit, Josh Gracin grew up listening to his parents' favorites -- Elvis, the Beatles and the vintage rock and pop on a favorite local station. Then, when he was 11, the station's format changed to country, and he started getting into artists such as Garth Brooks, Joe Diffie, George Strait and Randy Travis. His first public appearance was at an eighth grade talent competition where he sang Brooks' 1993 hit 'Standing Outside the Fire' and managed to win over an audience full of dance music-loving peers. Growing up as the only boy among four sisters, Gracin found his parents unwilling to sign a release for him to play sports, so he took up saxophone instead. He also had experience singing everything from opera (as a member of his school choir) to Motown (as the only male singer in a review called the Fairlane Youth Pop Orchestra). While still in school, he was part of a talent competition that took him to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. After high school, he enlisted in the Marines and a few years later got married. About two years into his four-year term of the Marines, he saw the first American Idol show. Though he hadn't sung in a couple of years, he auditioned and was chosen as a finalist in the second year of the series, ultimately placing fourth. Well after he became part of the show, the U.S. invaded Iraq and the military's world changed. Although he had no control over his deployment or that of his unit in Camp Pendleton, he did some soul-searching nonetheless. 'The toughest moment through all of this was when we were doing the show, and I was staying up until four or five in the morning just watching the news and trying to keep track of how the Marines were doing over there. I felt guilty because I was singing on this show, and there were fellow Marines over there in foxholes.' Gracin's transition from reality show contestant to recording star began when he sang Rascal Flatts' 'I'm Movin' On' on one episode. The guys in Rascal Flatts happened to be watching the show on their tour bus that night. Bass player Jay DeMarcus, impressed with Gracin's talent, called and put him in touch with Marty Williams, who had co-produced both the band's breakthrough album and its successful follow-up. That set in motion a series of events that led to a record deal with Lyric Street, the same label that signed Rascal Flatts. Gracin's self-titled debut album, featuring the first single 'I Want to Live,' was released in 2004. Its second single, 'Nothin' to Lose,' reached No. 1 at country radio.
