I’m With Her
The Jefferson Theater, 110 E Main St, Charlottesville, VA | Doors 7pm, Show 8pm
A band of extraordinary chemistry and exquisite musicianship, I’m With Her features Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O’Donovan. Collectively, the multi-Grammy-Award-winners have released seven solo efforts, co-founded two seminal bands (Nickel Creek and Crooked Still), and contributed to critically acclaimed albums from a host of esteemed artists. But from its very first moments, their full-length debut See You Around reveals the commitment to creating a wholly unified band sound. With each track born from close songwriting collaboration, I’m With Her builds an ineffable magic from their finespun narratives and breathtaking harmonies. The result is an album both emotionally raw and intricate, revealing layers of meaning and insight within even the most starkly adorned track. The Brother Brothers to open.

Frank Vignola’s Hot Jazz Trio
Little Washington Theatre, 291 Gay Street, Washington, VA | 8pm
Frank Vignola is one of the most extraordinary guitarists performing for audiences today. His stunning virtuosity has made him the guitarist of choice for many of the world’s top musicians, including Ringo Starr, Madonna, Donald Fagen, Wynton Marsalis, Tommy Emmanuel, the Boston Pops, the New York Pops, and guitar legend Les Paul, who named Vignole to his “Five Most Admired Guitarists List” for the Wall Street Journal. Vignola’s jaw- dropping technique explains why the New York Times deemed him “one of the brightest stars of the guitar”. He has been featured on NPR and Public Television, and conducts clinics, masterclasses, and workshops at music universities across the globe, most recently coaching guitar ensembles at The Juilliard School of Music in New York City. Vinny Raniolo and Gary Mazzaroppi round out the trio.

Aquila Theatre returns with a magical and witty production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. “The course of true love never did run smooth” is the prophetic line spoken just as one of The Bard’s most popular comedies begins and Shakespeare’s timeless tale of love and its many complications never fails to entertain audiences of all ages. Aquila’s signature physical theatrical style is the perfect complement to Shakespeare’s iconic work. This renowned theater company has been lauded by the New York Times for making “Shakespeare perfectly comprehensible,” while The New Yorker calls their interpretations “beautifully spoken, dramatically revealing and crystalline in effect.”
Tickets range from $27-44. For more details and to purchase tickets, click here.
