Greensky BlueGrass- February 12th

February 12th, 8pm - Adults $15

It is a pleasure to welcome Greensky Bluegrass to the Center stage! Often heard on KBUT during the Orange Blossom Special, The Great Divide or The Van Down By the River, Michigan-based Greensky Bluegrass offers a powerhouse live show with music that hits both traditional bluegrass notes and jamgrass flair. Greensky has a modern sound without straying far from the roots of the genre. A bit of what makes Greensky amazing: Poignant rural ballads about real people. Dobro tone that Jerry (Douglas or Garcia) would love. Grit and attitude from a whiskey soaked card game.And when they're on stage, all you can feel is the love, the fun, the energy.

Tickets go on sale January 24.

Tom Rush- February 9th 8pm

Tom Rush returns to the Center for the Arts by popular demand. Rush is a gifted musician, performer and storyteller, whose shows offer a musical celebration...a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. His distinctive guitar style, wry humor and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues. Rush's impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the '60s and the renaissance of the '80s and '90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, "Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influences."

"Journey of a Red Fridge", CB Center for the Arts- February 7th

JOURNEY OF A RED FRIDGE is a story of a 17-year-old boy named Hari Rai, who lives in a small village in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal, and his extraordinary journey. Hari is a student. However, he also works as a porter so that he could pay for his tuition and cover his living expenses. Although very young, he already has three years of experience carrying loads up and down the mountain, mostly tourists' backpacks. This time, he gets a job to carry a huge red refrigerator from the top of the mountain, to the nearest town. We follow Hari Rai on his journey through the fascinating Himalayan landscapes, we discover Hari’s inner life, his thoughts, hopes and dreams and we also get to know the culture and the local people’s way of life in this region. We learn about their relation with the most important aspects of their lives: family, nature and religion. Out of 60,000 child porters in Nepal, Hari is one of the few lucky ones to have a chance of going to school. Journey of a Red Fridge shows us what it takes for him to get his education.
