Alan Cumming Saturday, December 3 at 8pm The Palladium
High School vocalists from around the country auditioned to attend the weeklong Songbook Academy™, where they learn from world-class mentors Grammy winner Janis Siegel, Grammy winner Sylvia McNair, and five-time Grammy nominee and founder of the Great American Songbook Foundation, Michael Feinstein to discover the enduring beauty of the Great American Songbook. Listen to these aspiring stars compete for the title of Songbook Youth Ambassador.
Alan Cumming is an actor and activist beyond eclectic and according to the New York Times “a bawdy countercultural sprite.” Time Magazine named him “one of the most fun people in show business.” He plays political maverick Eli Gold on CBS’s “The Good Wife,” for which he received Golden Globe, Emmy, SAG and Satellite award nominations and, earlier this year, finished his Tony Award-winning role as the Emcee in the Broadway musical Cabaret.

Sandoval began studying classical trumpet at the age of twelve, but it didn’t take him long to catch the excitement of the jazz world. As a 10-time Grammy winner, 6-time Billboard award winner, Emmy winner and Recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, he has evolved into one of the world’s most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugelhorn, as well as a renowned classical artist, pianist and composer.

Joey Alexander Trio Saturday, March 25 at 8pm The Tarkington
Wynton Marsalis calls Joey Alexander “my hero” and at age 12, this young Indonesian piano genius is fearless at the keyboard. Following the release of his debut album with a highly anticipated performance at the Newport Jazz Festival, Alexander won the admiration of audiences by doing anything but playing it safe. A special segment featured on “60 Minutes” inspired thousands throughout the nation to follow his career. The technique, feeling and authority that comes naturally to Alexander puts him in a prodigy class all his own. Joey Alexander performs a range of classic songs by Rodgers & Hammerstein, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and Billy Strayhorn with a deft touch, adventurous spirit and improvisatory verve.
Charles Lloyd & The Marvels Featuring Bill Frisell with Reuben Rogers, Eric Harland, & Greg Leisz Thursday, April 20 at 7:30pm The Palladium The critical consensus is that the iconic saxophonist Charles Lloyd has never sounded better. The depth of his expression reflects a lifetime of experience. Lloyd has a legendary history in the music world, and could certainly be in a position to slow down and rest on his laurels. But looking back has never been of great interest to this tender warrior; this seeker of beauty and truth. “Go forward,” is his motto, as he keeps shifting to a higher, well calibrated gear.
“Follow the career of Charles Lloyd, and you see a map of great jazz across half a century. His shows, full of momentum and intuition, perfectly represent the idea that the best jazz needs to be experienced live.” - The New York Times

George Thorogood
The Official Blues Brothers Revue Saturday, August 27 at 8pm The Palladium This live concert show combines the comedy and hits from the original movie and pays homage to Chicago’s rich history of blues, gospel, and soul music. Hear all of the Blues Brothers classics such as “Soul Man,” “Rubber Biscuit,” “Sweet Home Chicago,” “Rawhide” and “Gimme Some Lovin’.” Jake, Elwood and the band hit the right balance of humor, music and mayhem.
George Thorogood & The Destroyers Saturday, September 17 at 8pm The Palladium In 1973, a barely-out-of-his-teens Wilmington guitarist piled his gear into the drummer’s Chevy van to play their very first gig at a University of Delaware dorm. More than 4 decades, over 8,000 live shows, and some 15 million albums sold worldwide later, that same maverick guitar-slinger is still making electrifying music, still thrilling audiences, and still the most bad-tothe-bone performer in rock.
An Evening with Joan Baez Thursday, October 20 at 8pm The Palladium A central figure in the nation’s cultural and political life for over 50 years, folk music luminary Joan Baez stirred the masses during the American roots revival of the early 1960s. She remains a musical force of nature whose influence is incalculable. A Grammy nominee and recipient of the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Baez brings her signature energy and passion to the Palladium stage for one night only.
