Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman, Wed. Nov. 2

I just love the lilting sound of Jon Anderson‘s voice, especially when it is coupled with the magnificence of Rick Wakeman‘s piano virtuosity. I just learned today that they will be appearing together at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Wednesday November 2, 2011.

I am very encouraged to attend this event. It’s a rare opportunity to see these two musical artists who represent the true spirit of Yes.

Their 2010 collaboration, The Living Tree, will melt your heart when you hear it. These recordings have a healing power all their own.

Jon Anderson has also just released a new solo recording, Survival & Other Stories.

Lucinda Williams, Ridgefield Playhouse, Nov. 1

We will be attending the Lucinda Williams concert at the Ridgefield Playhouse on November 1, 2011. This will be an exciting opportunity to witness one of the best singer/songwriters in music today.

Her latest recording Blessed makes powerful statements about life and the human condition. She also has an incredible library of songs and recordings that are very compelling listening.

I especially like her first music video ever, “Copenhagen”. It is unique in its use of animation which underscores how technology might be utilized in the future.

Tedeschi Trucks Band/Scrapomatic, The Klein, Bridgeport, Oct. 29th

Jazzed that The Fairfield Theatre Company has booked the Tedeschi Trucks Band along with Scrapomatic. The concert takes place Saturday October 29th at The Klein Memorial Auditorium in Bridgeport, Ct.

What I am even more pleased about is that the concert tickets were $50 each for FTC members. Just last Friday Ridgefield Playhouse charged $127 each for the same seats to see Tedeschi Trucks Band live. We are saving $77 a ticket and did I also mention we’re getting two bands that night, Hey Now!

Thanks Fairfield Theater Company for charging the right price for us members. Keeping music affordable in these dire economic times speaks to your commitment to us the music buying public. We attend thirty+ concerts a year and appreciate a value when we see one!
