Jim Kweskin
Jim Kweskin
with Suzy Thompson and Matthew Berlin
Saturday February 14 at 7:30pm
A night of folk music with Jim Kweskin, featuring Suzy Thompson on fiddle & Matt Berlin on bass.
Kweskin is the founder of the legendary 1960s Jim Kweskin Jug Band with Fritz Richmond, Geoff Muldaur, Maria Muldaur, Mel Lyman and Bruno Wolfe. During the five years they were together, they successfully transformed the sounds of pre-World War II rural music into a springboard for their good-humored performances. Their imitators were legion, including a San Francisco jug band that became the Grateful Dead, a Los Angeles jug band that became the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and a New York jug band that became the Lovin' Spoonful. No other group attained their unique blend of youthful energy and antiquarian expertise, tight musicianship, loose camaraderie, and infectious swing.
These days Jim is best known as a singer and bandleader, but he also created one of the bedrock guitar styles of the folk revival, adapting the ragtime-blues fingerpicking of artists like Mississippi John Hurt and Pink Anderson to the more complex chords of pop and jazz. He has maintained a remarkably consistent musical vision since his jug band days, continuing to explore traditional folk and blues with the sophisticated sensibility of a jazz musician, and jazz with the communal simplicity of a folk artist. He has recorded many solo ventures, as a member of the U and I band, with band-mate Geoff Muldaur, with Samoa Wilson, with The Texas Sheiks as well as performing and recording with a wide variety of well-known musicians such as Maria Muldaur, John Sebastian, David Grisman, Cindy Cashdollar, Happy Traum, Meredith Axelrod, Juli Crockett and Samoa Wilson, to name a few.
Muriel & Anita Libretto Reading
Muriel & Anita
Libretto Reading
Wednesday February 11 at 7pm
Internationally acclaimed composer Carla Lucero has approached Mercury Theater, Mary Chun, and Elly Lichenstein to help her develop a brand new opera, and we could not be more honored! We begin with a “workshop” reading of the libretto (no music yet) on Wednesday, February 11, at 7 pm, and we'd be delighted if you'd join us at the historic Cinnabar School House(3333 Petaluma Boulevard N., Petaluma, CA 94952).
Muriel and Anita is a true crime opera set in Napa, California, in 1974. At the core of this story is the undying love between two sisters, leading to the discovery of a serial killer in this once sleepy town.
The evening will include a reading by board members and friends of the theater, and will feature Mary Gannon Graham as Muriel and Mercedes Murphy as Anita. We’ll also have some delicious light food and champagne on hand. Plus, we want your feedback, so there will be a Q&A after the reading. Both Carla and Mary will be on hand to meet you and take your questions, and Elly will be there too.
Please RSVP by emailing admin@mercurytheater.org with the number in your party so we can buy enough champagne!
