NORTH CENTRAL COLLEGE

Performing Arts What an exciting time of year. We all survived the third largest snowstorm in Chicago history. Okay, I hope we all survived the snowstorm. The Fine Arts is wrapping up another great year in the arts at North Central College and moving ahead with our sesquicentennial celebration; 150 years that North Central College has been in existence and you get to be a part of this historic milestone. I love surprises, and I love building to a great final event. ThatΓ’€™s another reason why this time of year is so wonderful. The final event in our Performing Arts Series is American Legacies: The Del McCoury Band and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band. (We still have a full line up in May, so donΓ’€™t stop attending now.) This is one of the most exciting concerts I have had the privilege of seeing. I cannot wait to share it with all of you. If you are here for a performance before American Legacies, you must come back. Not only will you experience an amazing evening of entertainment, but you will be among the first to hear about the 2011-2012 season for the arts in Naperville here at North Central College. We bring the best artists for the best and most affordable prices for you, our loyal patrons. We know you will not be disappointed with the line-up we have for next season. Since it is the actual 150th year of the college, we are pulling out all the stops. We have the greatest performance venues in this great city for you, our great customers. You will not want to miss one event of the coming season. This is a perfect time to thank everyone in the arts at North Central. I have the honor of working with a terrific team from our front of house staff to the unsung heroes behind the scenes. We could not bring you the entertainment we do without these people so thank you. This is also the perfect time to thank our Friends of the Arts, those of you who go above and beyond the price of the tickets to help us bring you the artists that we do. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is people like you who also make this all possible. Whether you are renewing your subscription for next season or purchasing a pair of tickets for a special night, please consider joining the Friends of the Arts. Complete details of the program are available at our box office or from any of our friendly staff. They will be more than happy to fill you in. Your gift to the arts is just the beginning. Depending on your level of support, we are able to give back to you through sneak previews, special events, unique offers, and, of course, great artists. The bottom line is we cannot do it without you. Thank you in advance for your support. And now, on with the show! You will be missing out if you are not in the audience for American Legacies Brian Lynch Fine Arts Director North Central College North Central College 1

Eddie Money

BIOGR APHY β€œEverything I do, I do it for you.” Eddie Money says it at least once, every show. And he means it. This straight-up rock and roll icon has been making music and delivering it to his fans since the mid 70s, and wouldn’t have it any other way. With hits like β€œTwo Tickets To Paradise,” β€œBaby Hold On,” β€œWalk On Water,” β€œThink I’m In Love” and β€œShakin’,” Eddie continues to be one of the hardest working men in rock and roll. Performing a compact 150 or so shows every year, Eddie is always touring, somewhere. β€œMy fans are the best, most loyal fans a guy could ask for. They keep coming back for more and I’m not gonna stop until they make me stop.” Eddie has recorded over a dozen albums of his own, and has done numerous projects in television and film. Spring 2001’s David Spade film β€œJoe Dirt” features Eddie Money as Joe Dirt’s rock and roll idol. Last season he turned up as Mimi’s ex-husband in an episode of β€œThe Drew Carey Show.” He’s currently working on theme songs for Arena Football and Major League Baseball.

Chances are you’ll find him coming to a city near you. β€œI like getting involved in a lot of different projects, whether it’s singing the National Anthem at a professional sporting event or doing a gig for the charities I support or having my kids drag me through amusement park openings, I need to keep moving,” says Money. Having come from a long line of police officers, a very young Eddie joined the police force back home in Long Island, N.Y., and sang in his first band β€œGrapes Of Wrath.” But California called and he moved out west to be a rock and roll star. It worked. β€œI just knew I wanted to sing and be in a band. California seemed like the place to be, so I was Berkeley-bound.” A student of legendary vocal coach Judy Davis and prodigy of manager Bill Graham, Money began belting out hit after hit. The early days of MTV and music videos launched Eddie Money into stardom. An accomplished musician, he sings, he writes,

and plays the saxophone, harmonica and piano. β€œOf my five kids, I’ve got a few drummers, guitar players, and my daughter wants to sing and dance … when the guys get too old, I’ve got myself another band!” β€œTouring and writing is my life. It’s who I am and what I do. And I don’t see it changing any time in the near future,” Eddie says of his immediate future, β€œHey, I get to get up every day and do what I love. Why change that?” In the late 1960’s, the young Long Island, N.Y. native left the comforts of suburbia and headed to San Francisco to pursue his dreams of becoming a rock star. In the early 1970’s, Eddie hooked up with legendary promoter Bill Graham and exploded onto the music scene. In 1977, Money released his self-titled debut record and struck Double Platinum with hits such as: β€œBaby Hold On” and β€œTwo Tickets To Paradise.” His follow-up album, β€œLife For The Taking” was released in 1978 and reached Platinum status again. In 1982, The Money Man topped the charts numerous times with singles β€œShakin’,” β€œThink I’m In Love” and β€œTake A Little Bit.” With another Platinum record under his belt and the introduction of MTV and the music video, Money’s over-the-top narrative videos made him a household name. In 1986, Eddie Money’s duet with Ronnie Spector, β€œTake Me Home Tonight” reached number four on the Billboard Top 100. With over 28 million records sold worldwide, Eddie Money’s trademark raspy husky voice is easily recognized today. His most recent release, β€œGimme Some Water” featured Vince Gill and was a top download in 2008. In June 2009, Eddie Money’s musical autobiography, β€œTwo Tickets To Paradise - The Musical” debuted in New York and received rave reviews. Money is currently working on taking his play to Broadway. Eddie Money is an active supporter of many charities including The Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric Aids Foundation. Money donates a portion of his merchandise proceeds to them annually and has been an important donor for over 10 years.

THE NAKED KING

Performing Arts

The Naked King

The Naked King Play by Evgeny Shvarts Who says that fairy tales are for children only? Can the belief that love and honesty just might conquer all be held only by the youngest of us? β€œThe Naked King” joyfully affirms the opposite. The calamities in the world are no match for the wit, ingenuity and love the characters in this play use as their weapons. The plot charts the engaging journey of a swineherd, who falls in love with a princess and is sent into exile by her disapproving father. In the next kingdom, he discovers a monarch who has not been entirely honest with his people (does that ever happen in real life?). This whimsical and entertaining cocktail of three Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales, β€œThe Swineherd,” ”The Princess and the Pea” and β€œThe Emperor’s New Clothes,” has some other tasty, original ingredients.

This approach, while relatively unusual in the United States, is widely accepted in much of the Western world as the ideal way to make a body of theatrical work. Rotating repertory creates the opportunity for a unique relationship between the company and its audience, one in which the same actor can be seen in a variety of roles over a short period of time. It also allows the actors to work as a single instrument, much like the world’s great orchestras and dance companies.

Richard Elliot

RICHARD ELLIOT Where do you go from #1? If you’re veteran saxophonist Richard Elliot, long known as the β€œJames Brown of Contemporary Jazz” for the intense soul inspirations of his recordings, a relentless tour schedule and joyfully exhausting onstage performances, you dig deep into your R&B/jazz roots. You keep the infectious melodies and funky grooves flowing and follow a two word mantra that says it all about where you’ve been and the places you’re headed: β€œRock Steady”—the name of his highly anticipated debut on Artistry Music in 2009. With a bestselling discography of over 15 recordings since 1986’s β€œInitial Approach,” thousands of live dates spanning over two decades and one of the largest and most loyal fan bases in contemporary urban jazz, it’s incredible to hear Elliot declare: β€œWhat I’m doing now, enjoying this upward trend in my career, is seriously the most fun I have ever had.” Then again, the multi-talented tenorman, composer and producer has been on one of the most incredible rolls of his career since the 2005 release of β€œMetro Blue,” which debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz chart.

The album’s key single, a simmering cover of The Stylisticsβ€™β€œPeople Make The World Go Round,” spent an unprecedented 11 weeks at #1 on Radio & Records airplay chart. In 2007, β€œRnR,” the title track from the dual album Elliot recorded with fellow genre superstarβ€”and co-producer of β€œPeople”—Rick Braun, stayed at #1 on the chart for over two months. Elliot and Braun crisscrossed the U.S. as part of Jazz Attack (with Peter White and Jonathan Butler) in 2005 and 2007, and spent 2008 touring as RnR. The saxman also did media appearances and performed in South Africa for the first time, and did his first ever shows in Russia and St. Petersburg in January 2009. He and Braun are also headlining another Jazz Attack tour with Butler in 2010. Around that time, Elliot and Braun also teamed up with their manager Steve Chapman and industry veteran Al Evers to form ARTizen Music Group, whose roster included urban saxman Jackiem Joyner and acid jazz standout Shilts (from Down To The Bone). They later sold the label to their current recording home, Artistry Music.

In the past, Elliot’s never been big on starting off a new recording project with an overriding concept in mind, preferring to let each one develop more organicallyβ€” but he came up with a unique starting point for β€œRock Steady,” developing the album around the idea of calling upon his roots and influences in R&B to create an overall vibe that had a decidedly retro feel while also incorporating more contemporary flavors. He sets his cool agenda by dubbing one of the disc’s crazy-cool, hard funk horn jams β€œRetro Boy” and ventures from there. From the slow-burning grooves and classic funk horn textures of β€œStraight Up” through the soaring and passionate, James Bond film score-like β€œRestless” and the simmering, Hammond B-3 tinged β€œThe Preacher,” there’s a little taste of everyone Elliot was listening to while growing up in Los Angeles. He found his voice on the tenor through the likes of King Curtis, David Sanborn, Tom Scott, Average White Band, The Bar-Kays, Sly Stone, every singer on the Motown roster and even Tower of Power, the legendary Bay Area band the saxman toured and recorded with from 1982-87. β€œThe funny part of how β€œRock Steady” took shape is that I had the whole retrosoul idea in place when I started to write and record β€˜Metro Blue,’” he says. β€œBut because I don’t like to limit the way the creative flow is going, that album took on a decidedly European flavor, which turned out so well that we kept going with it. So we got a bit sidetracked but in a good way, and β€œRock Steady” gets back to that original idea. I see all of my solo albums as if they are vocal albums but using the sax as the voice, and once again, I had fun challenging myself as a writer and player, offering the latest step of my evolution in these areas. When formulas work in the past, many artists have a tendency to do the same thing again and again. But it’s more exciting to forge ahead and try new ideas that fit into my natural growth as an artist.” Elliot called on his deep all-star soul-jazz rolodex to find the perfect combination of players to help him realize his evolving β€œold school” meets β€œnew school” vision. Beyond working with his longtime core touring band members Ron Reinhardt North Central College 21


R I C H A R D E L L I O T T ( c o n t .) (keyboards), Dwight Sills (guitar), Nate Phillips (bass) and Ricky Lawson (drums), he ensembles with Braun, who is also the album’s co-producer. Also of note are percussion great Luis Conte, keyboardist Jeff Lorber, saxophonist Gerald Albright and trombonist Nick Lane; veteran singer Lynne Fiddmont steals the show on the title track with her infectious β€œWhat It Is” vocals. Lorber adds his clever keyboard flair to β€œStraight Up,” a track he wrote with Elliot, Braun and Albright; and the silky and atmospheric seduction β€œLicense To Chill,” a co-write by Lorber, Elliot and Braun. Elliot and Albright toured together in the early 2000s (with Lorber) as part of the Groovin’ For Grover tribute phenomenon, but β€œRock Steady” marks the first time these two powerhouse saxmen have recorded together. Elliot and Braun built the 11-tune collection around three rarely covered 70s R&B classics that represent that influence on the tenorist’s musical development, but in a way that enhances their emotional power and rhythmic energy rather than simply copping the original vibe. The three foundational tunes Elliot tackles on β€œRock Steady” are Curtis Mayfield’s β€œMove On Up,” whose original nine-minute version appeared on the singer’s 1970 debut album β€œCurtis;” the Aretha Franklinpenned title track, which was a Top Ten pop hit for the Queen of Soul from her 1971 album β€œYoung, Gifted and Black;” and β€œKeep On Truckin’,” a #1 pop hit for Eddie Kendricks in 1973, two years after he left the Temptations. As he’s done throughout his career on classic soul hits like β€œPeople Make The World Go Round,” β€œWhen A Man Loves A Woman” and β€œUntil You Come Back To Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do),” Elliot makes each track his own. He gives β€œMove On Up,” which he became reacquainted with as part of the soundtrack to the 2002 film β€œBend It Like Beckham,” the full treatment; it’s a bright, snappy, bold and brassy jam that is at the heart of the album’s concept. Elliot does Aretha proud on the title track with some of the disc’s edgiest and happily raging sax melody lines, which roar over Reinhardt’s spirited B-3 and Braun and Lane’s sassy horn section. Saved for the last track is β€œKeep 22 North Central College

R I C H A R D E L L I O T T ( c o n t .) On Truckin’,” whose title is as much a metaphor for Elliot’s lengthy and fruitful, full of twists and turns career, as β€œRock Steady” is the project’s big production number, a complete 70s soul immersion balancing throbbing funk grooves with cool sax verses, soaring horns and even a shimmering synth vibes flavor courtesy of Reinhardt. Other key tracks which further reveal the diversity Elliot forges within the overriding theme include the sensuous and slow burning β€œYaquala,” named for the wife of the song’s co-writer, keyboardist Tim Gant; β€œCandice Dance,” a cut titled for Elliot’s teenage daughter, whose whirlwind personality is perfectly reflected on yet another intense blast of energy that the saxman likens to β€œthe wind carrying furniture up into a massive tornado;” and β€œSpindrift,” a co-write by Elliot and bassist Nate Phillips that artfully blends electronica atmospheres with a shuffling dancehall vibe.

The Town,” β€œSoul Embrace,” β€œAfter Dark” and β€œJumpin’ Off”) and a growing number of #1 airplay singles. In addition to his participation in the current decade’s all-star tours like Groovin’ For Grover and Jazz Attack, in the mid-90s he helped launch another of the genre’s annual franchises, the Guitars & Saxes tours, which he continues to participate in. At his peak, Elliot was annually doing over 100 tour dates, but he has scaled back to spend more time with his family. Outside of music, Elliot has been an entrepreneur engaged in the latest emerging technologies. In the 90s, he cofounded the cutting edge multi-media company PacificNet that served some of the giants of the corporate business, entertainment and sports industries. At one point, the companyβ€”which created important music-related systems like Code Sonicsβ€”employed 50 people. He is currently a partner in World Processing,

a company that provides effective and convenient ways for people to move their money around via β€œstored value cards” and mobile devices. β€œI think calling this new album, released in 2009) β€œRock Steady” was an obvious and inspired choice for many reasons,” Elliot says. β€œThe music that inspired the CD has an enduring quality and is part of our American musical heritage. Beyond that, it’s the perfect metaphor for the good fortune I have had to be doing what I love to do for so many years. I took a risk leaving TOP for a solo career and never dreamed at the time that I would still have these wonderful opportunities to record and tour over 20 years later. I don’t gauge my career based on sales, popularity and money. However, what matters most is my personal and artistic growth and the opportunities that reveal themselves as I evolve.”

The Scotland-born, L.A.-raised Elliot found his musical voice on tenor as a teenager and landed his first professional gig touring with Natalie Cole and The Pointer Sisters while he was still in high school. Before joining Tower of Powerβ€”which began a stretch that he calls β€œthe most influential period of my early career”—he played in the adventurous fusion band Kittyhawk and did some dream recording sessions with his Motown heroes Smokey Robinson, The Four Tops and The Temptations. He later performed with Melissa Manchester and Yellowjackets, which found him hooking up for the first time with the legendary fusion band’s founding drummer, Ricky Lawson. Elliot was still on the road with TOP when he released his debut album β€œTrolltown” in 1986. Its success gave him the confidence to leave the band and start a solo career which has been seriously rockin’ steady ever since. Embarking upon one of instrumental music’s most dynamic and multi-faceted careers, Elliot’s sound played a huge part in pioneering the genre and radio format that became today’s contemporary urban jazz. Over the years, he has scored four #1 albums (β€œOn North Central College 23

Del McCoury Guitar Vince Gill says it simply, and maybe best: β€œI’d rather hear Del McCoury sing β€˜Are You Teasing Me’ than just about anything.” For fifty years, Del’s music has defined authenticity for hard core bluegrass fans β€”count Gill among them β€” as well as a growing number of fans among those only vaguely familiar with the genre. And while the box set β€œCelebrating 50 Years of Del McCoury,” like its distilled companion, β€œBy Request” β€” provides an opportunity to look back on a unique legacy, it’s also one that Del McCoury’s rolling past with a wave and a grin and some of the best music he’s ever made.

β€œIt gives hope to everybody β€” fifty years is a long time to be playing music in any field,” says another fan, Elvis Costello. β€œBut to keep the purity that you need to do this kind of music, and the drive and the energy…takes a special kind of guy.” And indeed, McCoury is something special, a living link to the days when bluegrass was made only in hillbilly honkytonks, schoolhouse shows and on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, yet also a commandingly vital presence today, from prime time and late night talk show TV to music festivals where audiences number in the hundreds of thousands. β€œHere’s a guy who has been playing for fifty years, and he’s still experimenting β€” still looking to do North Central College 25


T H E D E L M C C O U R Y B A N D ( c o n t .) things outside the box, to bring other kinds of music into bluegrass form,” says Americana music icon Richard Thompson, who saw his β€œ1952 Vincent Black Lightning” turned into a bluegrass standard when McCoury brought it into the fold. β€œI think that’s the best bluegrass band, period. That’s it.” Born in York County, Pa. seventy years ago, Del McCoury would once have seemed an unlikely candidate for legendary status. Bitten hard by the bluegrass bug when he heard Earl Scruggs’ banjo in the early 50s β€” β€œeverybody else was crazy about Elvis, but I loved Earl,” he says with a chuckle β€” McCoury became a banjo picker himself, working in the rough but lively Baltimore and D.C. bar scene into the early 1960s. He got his first taste of the limelight when he joined Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys in early 1963; the Father of Bluegrass moved McCoury from the banjo to guitar, made him his lead singer, and gave him a lifetime’s worth of bluegrass tutelage direct from the source in the course of little more than a year. But rather than parlay his gig with the master into a full-time career of his own, he returned to Pennsylvania in the mid-60s to provide steady support for his new and growing family. Within a few years, McCoury had settled into work in the logging industry β€” and formed his own band, the Dixie Pals. For the next decade and a half, he piloted the group through a part-time career built mostly around weekend appearances at bluegrass festivals and recordings for labels ranging from the short-lived and obscure to roots music institutions like Arhoolie and Rounder Records. And while there were the inevitable personnel changes and struggles to contend with, McCoury was also building a songbook filled with classics remade in his own image and a growing number of originals β€” songs like β€œHigh On A Mountain,β€β€œAre You Teasing Me,β€β€œDark Hollow,β€β€œBluest Man In Town,β€β€œRain And Snow,β€β€œGood Man Like 26 North Central College

Me,β€β€œRain Please Go Away” and more β€” that would become an important part of his legacy in years to come. The first big sign of change came in 1981, when McCoury’s 14-year-old son, Ronnie, joined the Dixie Pals as their mandolin player. Banjo-playing younger brother Rob came on board five years later, and by the end of the decade, the three McCourys were ready to make a move. β€œWe came to Nashville in 1992,” Ron recalls, β€œand it was dad’s idea. He’d been watching bluegrass on TNN β€” Bill Monroe, the Osborne Brothers, Jim & Jesse β€” and thought that it was the place to be, that we’d have a new outlet there, where we could get some more attention. And without a doubt, moving to Nashville and just going for it turned out to be really big.” If anything, the younger McCoury’s understating the case. Armed with a new Rounder Records association β€” and a newly named Del McCoury Band that soon included not only his sons but a complete cast of youngsters β€” Del McCoury’s career soared. Del himself got the ball rolling early in the decade with three consecutive Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the prestigious International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), and in 1994, the quintet began an astonishing streak of top Entertainer of the Year honors that would net them nine trophies in an 11-year stretch β€” along with ongoing honors for Ronnie (eight straight Mandolin Player of the Year awards), fiddler Jason Carter (three Fiddle Player of the Year trophies), and a wide array of projects featuring Del and the ensemble.

T H E D E L M C C O U R Y B A N D ( c o n t .) music β€” along with his good-natured willingness to keep alert for new sounds and new opportunities β€” had bred fans in some unlikely places. That bluegrass-bred stars like Gill and Alison Krauss (who first met Del at a bluegrass festival when she filled in for a missing fiddler of his) would sing his praises wasn’t surprising, but who would have expected country-rock icons like Steve Earle or jam bands like the supremely popular Phish to have joined in the chorus? β€œJon Fishman, the drummer for Phish, told me that they did an article on him for a drum magazine,” Del says. β€œThey asked him what were some of his early influences, and he told them that one of them was β€œDon’t Stop the Music,” a record I put out back at the beginning of the 90s.” By the second half of the 90s, the acclaim β€” and Del’s open-mindedness β€” put McCoury’s in onstage jams with

Phish and on the road and in the studio with Earle, bringing the Del McCoury Band’s fierce musicianship and its leader’s instantaneous, easygoing connection with listeners to new arenas. The group appeared on prime time television and began an ongoing series of visits to popular late night TV talk shows, toured rock clubs and college campuses, and found itself welcome at country and even jazzoriented music festivals and venues. Ronnie McCoury tells a story from a recent appearance that underlines just how broad an appeal the band’s music has these days. β€œYou know, we’ve really been getting outside of the bluegrass box,” he says with a laugh. β€œI mean, dad’s voice is what you’d call traditional, but he’s open-minded, too. And so it seems like in the last few years, especially, he’s become more than bluegrass β€” he’s being recognized as just a great singer, period. So that’s really been bridging the gap between

But though the 90s propelled the Del McCoury Band to the top of the bluegrass world, they also gave birth to a more startling phenomenon: the emergence of the group onto the larger musical scene as a unique torchbearer for the entire sweep of bluegrass and its history. For it turned out that the unmistakable authenticity of McCoury’s North Central College 27


T H E D E L M C C O U R Y B A N D ( c o n t .) bluegrass and other kinds of music and musicians. Last year we played at the Austin City Limits festival, and the limo driver who picked us up said he’d just taken [platinum-selling international pop star] Bjork out to the festival β€” and she was telling him that she wanted to see us. It’s just unbelievable.” Yet even as they reach out to almost unimaginable audiences, Del’s music retains its signature characteristics. β€œWhat I most admire about someone like Del,” says Gill, β€œis that he’s one of the last patriarchs that really played the music in its authentic way. And even though he’s willing to bend a little bit, to be out there playing at jam band festivals and things like that, it doesn’t sound like what the new people do with bluegrass. He’s done a great job of bringing new songs into the fold, but when he sings them, they sound like 1959 or 1962 again. It still has the element of his voice, and the authenticity of it never goes away; never changes. And even after doing it for 50 years, he’s at the top of everybody’s list of what’s going on today with bluegrass.” The fifth decade of that half-century of music making has been filled with new and ongoing triumphs. The Del McCoury Band has shown unprecedented stability, with but a single change in membership in fifteen years; their namesake earned membership in the cast of the legendary Grand Ole Opry in 2003, and the Band earned their first Best Bluegrass Album Grammy award two years later; they traveled with the groundbreaking post-O Brother β€œDown From The Mountain” tour, performed and recorded (on his Grammywinning β€œThese Days”) with Gill and with country star Dierks Bentley; they’ve made multiple appearances at the spectacular Bonnaroo Music Festival and launched an impressively popular annual New Year’s Eve show at the Ryman Auditorium, where Del first appeared on the Opry with Bill 28 North Central College

Monroe some 46 years ago. Perhaps most importantly, McCoury took an almost unprecedented step in 2003 when he took control of his own music by creating the McCoury Music label, home to that Grammy-winning album along with a select set of releases by the Del McCoury Band, country icon Merle Haggard and more. β€œDel epitomizes the bluegrass musician from the previous era, and also this one,” says acclaimed resonator guitarist Jerry Douglas, a member of Alison Krauss + Union Station and producer of several of McCoury’s 90s albums. β€œYou can finally make a living playing bluegrass, and a large part of it is because of Del McCoury; he became like the new Bill Monroe. For him to have come along this far is testament to his will to stick it out β€” but at the same time, when he saw that he was going to be able to do it, he started really, really enjoying it, and that’s when he started making the best music of his career.” That description certainly applies to β€œCelebrating 50 Years of Del McCoury,” a stunning collection that encapsulates a 50-year legacy of brilliant, heartfelt music with more than 30 new recordings of songs from his first 40 years of performing and an additional dozen and a half of the Del McCoury Band’s most essential tracks from the last decade. From classics that he first sang back in the late 1950s to β€œNothin’ Special” and β€œNever Grow Up Boy” from the Grammy-winning, β€œThe Company We Keep,” β€œCelebrating 50 Years of Del McCoury” is a sweeping view of Del’s musical journey that confounds the conventional wisdom that says remakes are necessarily inferior to first recordings β€” and the point is driven home with β€œBy Request,” a 14- track β€œexecutive summary” of the set that includes a dozen new versions of McCoury classics chosen because they were the songs that the band hears the crowd yelling for the most night after night. For though the

T H E D E L M C C O U R Y B A N D ( c o n t .) re-recorded songs have been staples of the McCoury repertoire for years, Del’s insistence on devoting much of each show to taking requests from his extensive catalog has kept them fresh β€” and the result is a perfect combination of old and new. Perhaps surprisingly, but fittingly for a still lively legend, the recordings were done in just a few days. β€œWe went through the songs pretty quickly,” says Ronnie. β€œTake after take, it was just great. Dad sounds better than ever on here. Part of it is because he’s been doing these songs forever, and part of it is because he always had some kind of allergy going when we went in to record, and this time he didn’t. We had a list of songs that the three of us made, with fifteen or twenty songs from each of the decades and the albums that he made before he started owning his own recordings, and he would just pick some things to record on each session β€” and then we just went in and knocked them out. So they all have a real live feel to them.” β€œYou know, Dad didn’t say much to us while we were doing it,” he adds with a smile, β€œbut my mom kept telling us, β€˜you know, your dad’s really excited.’ He knows how special this is; it’s a retrospective, a milestone. So we’re all really excited to get this out β€” it’s a life’s work being handed down to us, and to the fans, too.”

There’s no doubt that celebrating β€œ50 Years of Del McCoury” is just that β€” a life’s work β€” but it’s no swan song. As far as that goes, Del’s already said it himself, and said it best; he may be 70, but as he sings in one of his own songs, co-written with country hit writer (and second generation bluegrasser) Harley Allen, β€œDon’t ever let it be said darling, that what I do don’t bring me joy I’m a guitarpicking, bluegrass-singing, never grow up boy.” Ronnie McCoury Mandolin Ronnie McCoury was born in York County, Pa. on March 16, 1967. It was in York County that he made his home for the first 24 years of his life. In January of 1992, Ronnie and his wife Allison made the move to Nashville, Tenn., and it is here they have resided since that time. Growing up in a house where bluegrass music was played, and always listened to, Ron had the exposure from a very young age. Many pickin’ parties were held at the house, along with rehearsals that his Dad would have with his band then, The Dixie Pals. Like lots of other young boys, sports interested Ronnie very much. In particular, baseball and basketball. One thing he clearly remembers is the fact that his dad never pushed him to play music or never β€œpushed it on him” at all, leaving both Ron and Rob to choose their paths on their own. At the age of nine he started taking violin lessons. He

North Central College 29


T H E D E L M C C O U R Y B A N D ( c o n t .) took the lessons for two years and gave it up for sports. He played sports all the way through high school. But when he was just 13, after attending a show with his Dad where he saw Bill Monroe perform, he decided that he wanted to play the mandolin. He practiced on it for six months and when his Dad had an opening in the band for mandolin player, he asked Ron to fill it. That was on May 28, 1981 and Ronnie has been playing with his Dad ever since. In 1995, Ronnie and Rob teamed up and put out a self-titled CD on Rounder Records. In 1998, Ronnie teamed up with David Grisman and some other great mandolin players to create the CD titled β€œMandolin Extravaganza,” which made it’s appearance on the Acoustic Disc label in 1999. This CD was nominated for a Grammy Award and also won Instrumental Album of the Year and Recorded Event of the Year at the IBMA awards show in October of 2000. In 1999, Ronnie co-produced β€œThe Mountain” with Steve Earle and The Del McCoury Band. 2000 also brought along with it Ronnie’s first solo project...”Heartbreak Town.” A must hear for everyone! Ronnie is married to Allison Bliss from Massachusetts and they have three children, Evan, Joshua and Emma. Someone once asked Ronnie what his greatest accomplishments were, musically or non and his first response was β€œstarting my own family.” Next in line was receiving the Grammy for β€œThe Company We Keep.” Family life is very important to the McCourys. Having children inspired Ronnie to put out his next project, β€œLittle β€˜Mo McCoury,” a CD full of children’s songs done Bluegrass style. Along with his award-winning mandolin playing, Ronnie is also a singer/songwriter and producer. He has recorded or performed with such diverse acts as Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, Phish, Charlie Daniels, John Hartford, Vince Gill, Loretta Lynn, Alison Krauss, David Grisman, Dierks Bentley, Garth Brooks, the Allman Brothers, 30 North Central College

John Paul Jones and countless others! When Ron isn’t on stage with the Del McCoury Band or The Travelin’ McCoury’s, singing and playing mandolin, you will probably find him at home with his family. He enjoys cooking, gardening and reading. He loves to play golf, remodel and do construction work. He also enjoys picking up the guitar or maybe even the fiddle for a little musical change. Rob McCoury Banjo Rob was born April 30, 1971 in York, PA. as Robin Floyd McCoury. His earliest memories are of music, especially since it was everywhere around the house. There were picking parties, rehearsals and festivals. Rob went to his first bluegrass festival at Ontalanee Park in Allentown, Pa. when he was six weeks old. Rob β€œcaught the pickin’ bug” when he was just eight years old, after seeing the Osborne Brothers at Sunset Park in West Grove, Pa. He then realized how fortunate he was to have a great teacher in the house. Although he feels at times he was trying on his Dad’s patience, he remembers that his dad would always take the time to show him the right way to pick, never forcing the music on him. Rob recalls β€œpicking first thing in the morning and the last thing I did at night,” and it was what he wanted to do. In June of 1986, Del had a festival to play in Bath, N.Y. and he needed a bass player. At that time, Rob knew almost nothing about playing a bass fiddle. He knew the chords on the bass, but had never played before in a band situation. Although he was scared to death, he played bass with his Dad that day and ended up being the bass player in the band for about a year, until the banjo position became available. Rob’s first show as a banjo player was a benefit show for Olla Belle Reed, a great singer/songwriter who penned one of Del’s most requested songs, β€œHigh on

T H E D E L M C C O U R Y B A N D ( c o n t .) the Mountain,” along with many others. The show was in the spring of 1987 in Wilmington, Del. and he has been with the band ever since. In May of 1992, the McCoury family moved to Nashville, TN. Rob is convinced the move was the best one they could have made. He is very appreciative of his life and the experiences he has had. In his own words, β€œIt’s been a wonderful adventure that keeps getting better and better. I couldn’t imagine what my life would be like without music. I have gotten to see many parts of the world and meet lots of great people. I’ve made many great friends, but most of all I met my best friend, my wife Lisa, who supports me every step of the way.” Rob is presently working with his Dad as well as the Travelin’ McCoury’s featuring his fellow band mates Ronnie McCoury, Jason Carter, and Alan Bartram. Rob also has two children, a daughter,Monroe Kennedy McCoury, age 6, and a son and Grandpa’s namesake, Del Mercer Davis McCoury, age 2. Might want to check/update the children’s current ages. These bios were written pre-2008. Alan Bartram Bass Alan Bartram is a bassist, vocalist, and closet guitarist. His Mother taught him to sing and he learned to play the bass by listening to and watching other bassists. If Alan wasn’t a full-time musician, he would be a horticulturist. But, after graduating from college, he decided on a career in music and moved from PAto Nashville, TN. While playing with The Kenny and Amanda Smith Band, he also became an indemand freelance musician both for touring and recording. Since 2005, Alan has been the bassist for the Del McCoury Band and is now also a member of The Travelin’ McCourys. The rest is the future...

Jason Carter Fiddle Jason Carter was born February 1, 1973 in Ashland, KY. He grew up in Greenup County. His dad started teaching him guitar when he was eight years old, and a few years later, he started on mandolin. It was all he wanted to do. Through his high school years, Jason was able to attend several bluegrass festivals, courtesy of his dad and uncle. He kept on trying to learn those Tony Rice guitar breaks; that was much more interesting then his biology homework! When he was 16 years old, Jason heard Del McCoury for the first time...and that’s when he picked up the fiddle. The summer of 1991 brought a close to his high school years and it was also the year he landed his first professional job. He worked six months for The Goins Brothers playing fiddle and traveling mostly on the East Coast. In February of 1992, The Goins Brothers played in Nashville, TN. with Del McCoury; Jason asked him for a job. Two weeks later, he was back in Nashville trying out. They played in Nashville, West Memphis and Garland, Texas and when they got home they told him that he had the job. He’s been with the band ever since. Since then, Jason has relocated to Nashville and it’s been more than a dream come true for him. He feels very fortunate to be able to play with some of his musical heroes and to travel the world playing bluegrass music. Jason’s interests besides his music include sports of any kind, gardening and spending time at home with his wife. When asked what the best thing about being in The Del McCoury Band was, he replied, β€œIt’s hard to list only one thing. Of course the music, the friendships, playing in Europe and on the Grand Ole Opry, Jean’s cookin’!! But most of all standing on stage, watching Del sing and play his guitar.” North Central College 31


T H E P R E S E R VAT I O N H A L L JA Z Z B A N D H I S TO R Y The Preservation Hall Jazz Band derives its name from Preservation Hall, the venerable music venue located in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, founded in 1961 by Allan and Sandra Jaffe. The band has traveled worldwide spreading their mission to nurture and perpetuate the art form of New Orleans Jazz. Whether performing at Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center, for British Royalty or the King of Thailand, this music embodies a joyful, timeless spirit. Under the auspices of current director, Ben Jaffe, the son of founders Allan and Sandra, Preservation Hall continues with a deep reverence and consciousness of its greatest attributes in the modern day as a venue, band, and record label. The building that houses Preservation Hall has housed many businesses over the years including a tavern during the war of 1812, a photo studio and an art gallery. It was during the years of the art gallery that then owner, Larry Borenstein, began holding informal jam sessions for his close friends. Out of these sessions grew the concept of Preservation Hall. The intimate venue, whose weathered exterior has been untouched over its history, is a living embodiment of its original vision. To this day, Preservation Hall has no drinks, air conditioning, or other typical accoutrements strictly welcoming people of all ages interested in having one of the last pure music experiences left on the earth. The PHJB began touring in 1963 and for many years there were several bands successfully touring under the name Preservation Hall. Many of the band’s charter members performed with the pioneers who invented jazz in the early twentieth century including Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and Bunk Johnson. Band leaders over the band’s history include the brothers Willie and Percy Humphrey, husband and wife Billie and De De Pierce, famed pianist Sweet Emma Barrett, and in the modern day Wendall and John Brunious. These founding artists and dozens of others passed on the lessons of their music to a younger generation who now follow in their footsteps like the current lineup. T H E P R E S E R VAT I O N H A L L JA Z Z B A N D Ben Jaffe/Creative Director & Tuba: As son of co-founders Allan and Sandra Jaffe, Ben has lived his whole life with the rhythm of the French Quarter pulsing through his veins. Raised in the company of New Orleans’ greatest musicians, Ben returned from his collegiate education at Oberlin College in Ohio to play with the group and assume his father’s duties as Director of Preservation Hall. Today he serves as Creative Director for both PHJB and the Hall itself, where he has spearheaded such programs as the New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund.

T H E P R E S E R VAT I O N H A L L JA Z Z B A N D ( c o n t .) the Olympia Kids, a young players’ offshoot of the famous Olympia Brass Band, Mark has gone on to record, tour, and play with New Orleans legends of both traditional jazz and R&B, including Eddie Bo, Henry Butler, Harry Connick Jr., and Dr. Michael White. Charlie Gabriel/Clarinet and Vocals: The musical heritage of Charlie Gabriel can be traced back as far back as the 1850s. Great-grandson of New Orleans bass player Narcesse Gabriel, grandson of New Orleans cornet player Martin Joseph, and son of New Orleans drummer and clarinetist Martin Manuel Gabriel, Charlie is truly a living legend. At seventy-six years old, the extensive list of musicians with whom he’s played includes well-known PHJB alumni Kid Howard, Kid Sheik, Jim Robinson, and George Lewis. Clint Maedgen/Saxophone and Vocals: Though Clint is best known as leader of multimedia alt.cabaret group The New Orleans Bingo! Show, he has been in love with the sound of traditional New Orleans jazz since he was a small child. After studying with clarinet innovator Alvin Batiste at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Clint returned to New Orleans’ French Quarter where he cemented his reputation as an artist and collaborator through an ongoing series of eclectic and experimental musical ensembles. As a full-time member of the PHJB, he brings an infectious passion to both his playing and singing. Joe Lastie, Jr./Drums: Born and raised in the Lower Ninth Ward, Joe comes from a long line of family members equally dedicated to music and the church. Having played his first job with a rhythm section backing the Desire Community Choir, he would go on to study jazz with Willie Metcalf at the Dryades Street YMCA with classmates Wynton and Branford Marsalis. After a brief move with his family to Queens, New York, Joe returned to New Orleans where he was invited to substitute on drums at Preservation Hall in 1989. He’s been a regular with the band ever since. Freddie Lonzo/Trombone and Vocals: Born and raised in New Orleans’ Uptown neighborhoods, Freddie was exposed to the music of the streets at a very young age. Having cemented his desire to play New Orleans jazz, these early Second Line parades would later offer him his first professional gig with EG Gabon and Doc Paulin’s Band. A true master of every style of New Orleans music, from marching brass to modern jazz, Freddie’s first appearances with Preservation Hall date back to the mid-eighties when he toured and played with Percy Humphrey and Kid Sheik. Rickie Monie/Piano: Born and raised in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward to jazz-loving church musicians, Rickie was inundated at an early age with the recordings of such great jazz and gospel pianists as Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, and Teddy Wilson. After majoring in woodwind instruments at Dillard University, Rickie turned back to the piano and picked up work in every style of music. In 1982, Monie got his first call from Preservation Hall, to substitute for the legendary resident pianist Sweet Emma Barrett after she suffered a stroke. To the delight of audiences around the world, he’s stayed onboard ever since.

Mark Braud/Trumpet and Vocals: As nephew to two former PHJB leaders, Wendell and John Brunious, Jr., Mark is proud to further his family’s musical legacy in the company of so many historic players. Beginning his career playing with 32 North Central College
