Garnet Rogers, April 27, 8:00 PM at Circle of Friends Coffeehouse

Garnet Rogers April 27 at 8:00 PM  - $25   Garnet Rogers is a Canadian folk musician who started off his musical career writing, recording and performing with his older brother Stan Rogers. He released six studio albums with Stan, two of which were posthumous, after Stan's tragic death aboard Air Canada Flight 797. Garnet then embarked on a solo musical career which saw him shift from the more traditional folk sounds of his brothers music towards a more contemporary style. Garnet has recorded over a dozen albums since 1984 and established himself as a "charismatic performer and singer" with his songwriting and smooth, dark baritone voice.

The James Montgomery Band Returns to THE BLACK BOX - Friday, April 12

THE BLACK BOX will welcome back The James Montgomery Band on Friday, April 12 at 7:30 PM with The DayBreakers. 

In 1970, while attending Boston University, Montgomery formed The James Montgomery Band. His inimitable harmonica playing combined with his incredibly energetic live shows led to the band's quick ascension on the New England music scene. Within two years, The James Montgomery band was among the hottest acts in Boston along with J. Geils and Aerosmith, and they were quickly signed to a multi-album deal with Capricorn Records.

Since that time, James has recorded six albums. His first, "First Time Out" has been remastered and re-released by MRG/Capricorn. Other include "James Montgomery Band" on Island Records which was number nine on Billboard's national playlist, "Duck Fever" with members of the David Letterman Band, "Live Trax," with the Uptown Horns (the Rolling Stones' horn section), and his release on Tone-Cool, "The Oven Is On."

James Montgomery Band Returns

Montgomery has toured with many major artists, including Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, the Allman Brothers, Steve Miller, and others. He has jammed on stage with B.B.King, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Jr. Wells, James Cotton, Charlie Daniels, Bonnie Raitt, Greg Allman, Laverne Baker, Patti LaBelle, and Peter Wolf among others, including an impromptu session with Mick Jagger at New York's "Trax." Over the years, Montgomery's band has been a springboard for many musicians. Members of his band have included Billy Squire, Wayne Kramer (MC-5), Jeff Golub (Rod Stewart), Jim McCarty (Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels), Nunzio Signore (Bo Diddley), Jeff Pevar (Ray Charles Orchestra, Crosby, Stills & Nash), Bobby Chouinard (drummer with Ted Nugent, Squire and Robert Gordon), Jeff Levine (Joe Cocker), Aerosmith's Tom Gambel, and many others.

Fueled by two songwriters with contrasting approaches, The DayBreakers craft their distinct sound through a blend of folk rock melodies, blues guitar muscle, and rock and roll grit.  The five piece band, led by lead singer/guitarist Kyle Murphy, and bassist Matt Schairer has played many of New England's most revered rooms (The Middle East, TT the Bears, Thunder Road, Cape Cod Melody Tent) and shared the stage with some of the region's best roots rockers (Entrain, the Silks, Frank Viele), while also supporting national touring acts Christian Lopez and Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. In August of 2018, the group was nominated for "Rock Act of the Year" by the New England Music Awards.

Nicholas Kitchen is one of the most active and innovative performers in the music world today.  He is a solo violinist, chamber musician, teacher, video artist, technology innovator and arts administrator. At 16, Nicholas began studying at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. At the end of his studies at Curtis in 1989, Nicholas joined his schoolmates and founded the Borromeo String Quartet that went on to study at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. Very quickly the quartet won prizes at the Evian International Quartet Competition and the Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York. Ever since these first successes, the quartet has been in great demand, regularly performing 100 concerts a year. His interest in reaching out with music resulted in his doing multiple tours under the auspices of the US Information Service visiting most of the countries in Latin America for performances and teaching residencies. Nicholas has taught at the New England Conservatory of Music since 1992, when at the conclusion of their studies the Borromeo Quartet was asked to become Quartet-in-Residence.
