Winter at Me&Thee to feature diverse sounds
From the vibrant rhythms of Brazil to a homegrown talent from Marblehead, from the melodies of two young mothers who were rock stars to a father-and-son birthday performance, Me&Thee Music opens its winter season with a compellingly varied lineup.
The schedule kicks off with the warm sounds of Brazilian jazz and bossa nova by the Teresa Ines Quintet on Friday, Feb. 3, beginning at 8 p.m.
Ines, born in Rio de Janeiro, has performed to sold-out houses at the world-famous Zinc Bar in New York City, the Regattabar and Ryles in Cambridge, as well as in concert halls across Europe, South America and Brazil.
Joining her will be pianist Nando Michelin, flutist Fernando Brandão, Ebinho Cardoso on bass and South African percussionist Lumanyano Mzi.
Feb. 17: Hayley Reardon
On Feb. 17, Marblehead’s own Hayley Reardon returns to the Me&Thee in a concert that the pandemic delayed from March 2020.
After first appearing on the Me&Thee stage in high school, Reardon moved to Nashville and became a critically acclaimed pop artist who has toured throughout Europe.
Her latest EP, “The Good Light,” was recorded in Barcelona with one of Spain’s finest guitarists, Pau Figueres.
March 3: Don White
On March 3, awardwinning singer, songwriter, comedian, author and storyteller Don White and friends will present his North Shore Birthday Show. After 10 CDs, three live DVDs and two books, White is still bringing laughter and tears to his audiences.
March 24: The Nields
On March 24, The Nields travel from the Berkshires to appear at the Me&Thee for the first time in years.
Sisters Nerissa and Katrina have performed with The Band, 10,000 Maniacs, James Taylor and the Indigo Girls.
The Chicago Tribune wrote, “The marvelously expressive Nields provide vocals that sound at various times very much like the Bangles, the Roches and Alanis Morrissette.”
