Public Radio has this to say, "Roses in November" is yet another masterpiece from Tret. Exceptionally crafted songs delivered with
passion, conviction and, yes, soul. Tret weaves magic both in the lyrics and between the lines. This will certainly be on my
"Best of 2018" list. Fure also markets of her own line of clothing named after her popular song "Tomboy girl". In addition,
Tret teaches guitar and songwriting individually and in workshop settings. She paints pet portraits on commission and, an

(Indianapolis) Ryan Harrison
(Nashville Indiana)
8:00p / doors 7:30p | free ($5 suggested)
Laura Beth Johnson is the award-winning poet, writer, and musician behind
Sorrow Estate. Johnson charms and electrifies taprooms, listening rooms,
and living rooms alike as her brash vocals and haunting melodies meander through a unique blend of folk, rock, and jazz. Her debut
album, The Sorrow Estate, shook the Capital Region in 2016. A spoken word performance on the album titled Crazy and Special
was awarded the Lucy Monro Brooker Poetry Prize from the University of Indianapolis. The song Barley Field Children earned
Johnson a full scholarship to the Glen Workshop this summer where she will be working with Over the Rhine in a songwriting
workshop. In 2017, a special collection of cheery songs called The Happy EP was released to eager listeners the same month
Johnson graduated with a degree in Writing and Communications. Noted in the playlists of 97.7 WEXT’s Andrew Gregory and
featured by Chris Wienk on The Local 518 Show, Johnson’s Sorrow Estate has drawn attention as an emerging poet and folk artist.
Sorrow Estate has been seen this summer at the MOVE Music Festival and Albany's 70th Tulip Festival.
Johnson began writing songs at the age of 13 and competed in singing competitions with her own compositions. She placed
annually in several local singing competitions and went on to study Writing and Communications at Houghton College with an emphasis
in Songwriting. Johnson has been seen at Café Lena in Saratoga, The Moon River in Oxford, England, Tin Roof in Indianapolis, and
Commodore Grille in Nashville. Her sound is reminiscent of Ingrid Michelson and Julien Baker with lyrical content similar
to Bright Eyes and Damien Rice. She sites all these artists as influences on her music as well as Jack Kerouac, Sylvia Plath,
Bob Dylan, Amy Grant, and Jewel.
Kings Kaleidoscope and Special Guests embark on their first nationwide
tour, covering 25 US cities promoting their newest album, "ZEAL".
Kings Kaleidoschope has a history of breaking convention. The band first met at church, reimagining hymns and ecclesial
melodies. But what started under lofted ceilings soon broke through, reaching the ready ears of crowds and critics. Five EPs
and two critically-acclaimed LPs later (both landing in the top 10 on Billboard's gospel chart), King's continues to reinvent their
medium. Genre-bending rhythms, bold arrangements, and soaring melodies underscore the diverse influences within the band.
Chad Gardner leads the collective of friends; up to ten members strong, and all hands stretch the canvas until it sings.
Their latest project, “The Beauty Between,” is another transformation, but what remains true—and what resonates with fans—is
the creative core: an honest expression of the ache, love, and color of a life redeemed.
#MartinBarre

the next 50 years, this legendary band accumulated over 65 million record sales and a following of loyal fans that are the envy of
rock bands worldwide!
The tour will include Martin's touring band, featuring Dan Crisp on lead vocals, Alan Thomson on keyboard, Darby Todd on Drums, with
Becca Langsford and Ali Hart on vocals.
As Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson are taking a break from touring, Martin has put together a band to play the "classic" music from
the Tull catalogue. His band is a total commitment to give the Tull fans and a broader audience the chance to hear tracks
not performed for many years.
*NOTE THAT IAN ANDERSON IS NOT PERFORMING AS PART OF THIS CONCERT*
At the center of Tull's unique sound is guitarist Martin Barre. Renowned for his formidable mastery of historic riffs, power chords
and soaring melodic solos, Martin Barre has been the guitarist of Jethro Tull for 43 years. His sound and playing having been a
major factor in their success.
Martin's guitar playing has earned him a high level of respect and recognition; he was voted 25th best solo ever in the USA and
20th best solo ever in the UK for his playing on 'Aqualung'. His playing on the album Crest of a Knave earned him a Grammy
award in 1989.
As well as numerous Jethro Tull albums, Martin has worked with many other artists including Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Gary
Moore, Jo Bonamassa and Chris Thompson and has shared a stage with such legends as Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and Led
Zeppelin.
The Other Favorites is the long time duo project of Carson McKee and Josh
Turner. Perhaps best known for their performances on YouTube, which have garnered millions of views. The Other Favorites are
now based out of Brooklyn. Together, Turner and McKee bring their shared influences of folk, bluegrass and classic rock into
a modern framework; one distinguished by incisive songwriting, virtuosic guitar work and tight two-part harmony.
Reina del Cid is a singer songwriter and leader of the eponymous folk rock band based
in Minnesota. Her song-a-week video series, Sunday Mornings with Reina del Cid, has amassed 24 million views on YouTube and
collected a diverse following made up of everyone from jamheads to college students to white-haired intelligentsia. In 2011
she began collaborating with Toni Lindgren, who is the lead guitarist on all three of Del Cids albums, as well as a frequent and
much beloved guest on the Sunday Morning videos. The two have adapted their sometimes hard-hitting rock ballads and catchy
pop riffs into a special acoustic duo set which they will tour in Europe and the United States this year.
Mad Hatter Shows present Asperger's Are Us first comedy troupe consisting of openly autistic people
8:00p | $12/ VIP $17 advance
Audiences don’t usually know what to expect from Asperger's Are Us, a
Boston sketch comedy troupe made up solely of artists on the autism spectrum. Will they use self-deprecating humor about life with
Asperger’s syndrome? Are they hoping to shed light on a serious condition? Will they be something like Sheldon, the socially
inept character on CBS’s 'The Big Bang Theory'?
The answer, it turns out, is none of the above.
“Instead of focusing on the condition, the four men who make up the troupe perform skits and monologues that reflect their
thoughts, perspectives and offbeat sensibilities, often characterized by deadpan and absurd humor... the guys are not looking for
sympathy laughs or polite applause. Their show is not an autism awareness campaign, they say. They want people to laugh
simply because they’re funny." – New York Times
