“The only thing that matters is the song,” says singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux. That conviction, along with a one-of-a-kind voice, has carried this product of Athens, Georgia, from busking on the streets of Paris all the way to mainstream recognition.

thursday, oct. 31, 2013 at 7:30 Pm | the Palladium

The word “legend” usually makes an appearance at some point when discussing Merle Haggard. It’s an acknowledgment of his artistry and his standing as “the poet of the common man.” It is also a tribute to his incredible commercial success and to the lasting mark he has made on country music and American music as a whole. 3 gretchen wilson

thursday, nov. 7, 2013 at 7:30 Pm | the Palladium

This independent, take-no-guff, hard-working and hard-partying country girl’s songs like “Redneck Woman,” “Here For The Party,” and “Homewrecker” are gorgeously rough-edged, and it’s no wonder why she resonates strongly with fans of country and Southern rock. As she takes the Palladium stage this season, she’ll give a party you won’t forget.

The elusive spirit of the tango rhythm will transport you to the seductive port city of Buenos Aires as Argentine composer, pianist and Latin Grammy Award winner Fernando Otero evokes the indigenous sounds of his native country with his vibrant quintet, which features bandoneon, acoustic bass and violin. “The X-factor is probably Buenos Aires itself, and like the city, Otero….is urbane and exotic, surreal and streetwise, and alive with invention and emotion.” – The BBC Review 2 mariZa

Hailing from Portugal, Mariza is the Voice of “Fado”–the traditional style of Portuguese music. With more than one million records sold worldwide, this three-time, Grammy-nominated artist’s voice leaves no one unresponsive and has made Mariza one of the most widely acclaimed singers in modern world music. “Fado is the traditional music of Portugal -- proud, austere and deeply melancholic. Mariza is the music’s biggest star for a reason: She sings it not as musty nostalgia but as exuberant twenty-first-century pop, with a low, mesmerizing alto that’s as commanding as any pop singer today...remaking fado’s ancient sadness into a majestic modern sound.” – Rolling Stone

Celebrating their 40th anniversary, kansas remains as vital as ever. The pop music mega band has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-platinum albums, one platinum live album and a million-selling gold single, the iconic “Dust in the Wind.” A mainstay of arenas and stadiums the world over, this is a special opportunity to see the legendary kansas in an intimate setting.

“I Will Survive” climbed to the top of Billboard’s Pop Charts in 1979, claiming the #1 position on two different occasions. Little did Gloria Gaynor know at the time, the song would eventually become a rallying cry for social survival and remain as relevant today as it was three decades ago. The inspiring single is also just the tip of the iceberg where this talented performer’s repertoire is concerned.
