THE DIRECTOR'S CHOICE SHOWS

From the remote island of Tiree to headlining festivals around the world, Skerryvore has skyrocketed to become one of Scotland’s finest musical exports. And it’s easy to see why. Their eclectic fusion of folk, rock, and Americana – with thundering drums and bagpipes, of course – is as rich as a single malt scotch.

When Sammy Miller and The Congregation take the stage, class is in session. The coolest professor you’ve ever had, Grammy-nominated drummer Sammy Miller leads The Congregation in joyful jazz that just makes you feel good. Conservatory-trained yet full of childlike wonder, they reach the next generation everywhere from Lincoln Center to The White House to neighborhood schools, including their unforgettable Alaska tour in 2019. Now they’ll take you on a musical odyssey with "100 Years of Jazz,” from its soulful New Orleans beginnings to the dazzling Roaring Twenties.

Although they reached another stratosphere of fame when actor/banjo player Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin) collaborated with the crew, North Carolina's Steep Canyon Rangers had already reached audiences beyond their bluegrass roots. Since they first jammed at UNC-Chapel Hill in the ‘90s, the Rangers have transformed into the most recognizable modern name in bluegrass, rising to the top of festivals, releasing 14 albums, and teaming up with artists as diverse as the Chicks, Boyz II Men, and Paul McCartney.

Is it possible to create jazz music that appeals to everyone? With The Queen’s Cartoonists, it is. The jazz masters play all the madcap music from classic and contemporary cartoons, perfectly synchronized with the animation projected on stage. It’s the bebop of Betty Boop and the boogie-woogie of Bugs Bunny, complete with sound effects and shenanigans. Slipping and sliding through decades of instantly recognizable music, the virtuosos lead audiences on a wild ride of multi-instrumental mayhem.

If there were a Mount Rushmore of women in country music, it would include the faces of Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton. Three groundbreaking voices that revolutionized country culture, they blazed a trail for future generations of women in music. A tribute to their artistry, Trailblazing Women of Country features intrepid vocalist, Kristina Train, supported by an all-female band performing classics of heartache (“Crazy”), self-respect (“Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’…”), and staying true to your roots (“Coat of Many Colors”).

With relentless rhythms and mesmerizing movements, the ancient Japanese art of taiko has captivated the senses for 12,000 years. Today Portland-based crew Unit Souzou forges new taiko traditions through their expressive blend of taiko, dance, song, and personal stories.
