His critically acclaimed debut, "HIP TO BOP", recorded in New Orleans, foreshadowed Brown's unique talent for creating fresh bop-inflected jazz with an urban pulse.

  • Local Artist Series: Chris Fitz Band

    Chris Fitz broke into the Boston music scene back in 1994 after a 5 year stint in the San Francisco area. Chris honed his blues guitar chops by floating around all the blues clubs in the Bay Area and finding inspiration in the local and national blues artists who frequented them. He would then spend countless hours holed up in his apartment, guitar in hand and record player by his side, tirelessly teaching himself to sound like the great players he loved to watch live. Upon moving back to Boston, his hometown, he wasted no time hitting the various blues jams around the city with a guarded confidence that he could play well enough to find his way into a working band. Over twenty years and thousands of gigs later, the Chris Fitz Band, with Chris as band leader / singer / songwriter / guitar player, Mike Aiello on Drums and "Fretless Dave Kendarian" on bass remains one of the premier "original" blues and roots acts in all of New England.

Though widely celebrated for his groundbreaking jazz career--including his landmark album Magic Touch, which spent 51 weeks at #1 on Billboard's jazz chart--Stanley has always kept one foot in rock and blues. With Stanley Plays Jimi, he blends Hendrix's explosive energy with his own exploratory style, honoring the legend while expanding the vocabulary he left behind.

  • Local Artist Series: Dwayne Haggins Band

    He's been described as 'the love child of Hank Williams and Otis Redding.' "The John Legend of rockabilly." And even, the 'what-took-you-so-long?' fusion of Elvis Presley and Marvin Gaye.' At every performance, whether in a venerable metropolitan concert hall or a grimy dive in an anonymous strip mall, Dwayne Haggins is always at work. Adding new subtleties to an obvious melody line. Reinterpreting a time-worn lyrical cliché to imbue it anew with genuine feeling. Unleashing a gentle cascade of vocal acrobatics when least expected (and hence most effective) - never for show alone, but always to express a likewise unanticipated nuance of feeling: a whisper of love, a curse of anger, a groan of pain, a whoop of joy that feels, paradoxically, both surprising and inevitable at the same moment. Dwayne Haggins grew up in many places, but when he talks of "home" these days, he means Framingham, Massachusetts.
