Rice\, Victoria Pines\, Corrinna Redford\, Bryson Sands\, Areanna Shears\, Adrienne Spann\, and Aaron Tucker.

SUMMARY:The Steward Family Presents: The Marvin Gaye-Bobby Scott Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:In 1968\, Motown R&B recording artist Marvin Gaye and singer\, songwriter\, and arranger Bobby Scott met at a recording studio in New York City to record a group of ballads that Marvin had previously asked Bobby Scott to arrange for him. The story goes that halfway through\, Marvin abruptly stopped the recording session. According to David Ritz\, the author of Marvin’s autobiography\, Marvin himself said he stopped the session because although he felt the arrangements were beautiful\, he also thought his vocals were not measuring up\, and he froze\, thinking the ballads would flop. However\, later on\, Marvin realized that at that time\, he had more suffering to do before he could truly feel the emotions required to sing those songs.\nTen years later\, after the divorce of his wife Anna and his blossoming love affair with his soon-to-be wife Janis\, Marvin sang those Bobby Scott arrangements and packaged them in an album called “Ballads.” However\, the record company rejected the album and didn’t release the songs until after his death. Marvin never performed the songs he and Bobby Scott collaborated on. That is\, until now!\nLadies and Gentlemen\, The Steward Family Foundation presents the “Jazz in My Soul-Marvin Gaye-Bobby Scott Collaboration\,” a 9-piece band consisting of St. Louis’s most gifted musicians and singer Brian Owens as Marvin Gaye.\nAll proceeds go to “The Haven of Grace\,” an organization serving pregnant and homeless women. Enjoy the concert and thank you for coming. The “Jazz in My Soul-Marvin Gaye-Bobby Scott Collaboration” is derived from the stage play “Jazz in My Soul-A Marvin Gaye Fantasy” by St. Louis playwright Edie Anderson (aka Your Lady Edie B.). \nBRIAN OWENS as MARVIN GAYE \n\nPiano – Adaron “Pops” Jackson\nTrombone – Brett Stamps\nDrums – Demarius Hicks\nTrumpet – Danny Campbell\nGuitar – Eric Slaughter\nTenor Sax-Harvey Lockhart\nAlto Sax – Jason Swagler\nBass – Jeffrey Anderson\nBaritone Sax – Kwanae Johnson\n\nActor A.J.S.R  as Mickey Stevenson

SUMMARY:Jazz St. Louis Presents Paquito D'Rivera & Chucho Valdés\, Together Again! at the Sheldon
DESCRIPTION:Jazz St. Louis is thrilled to announce the 2024 fundraising event Together Again! at the Steward Center\, home of Jazz St. Louis\, on September 18\, 2024\, and at The Sheldon on September 19\, 2024. This two-night fundraising event supports Jazz St. Louis and helps secure the future of Jazz St. Louis’ impactful programs for people in the St. Louis area. The organization’s programming has established an extensive record of developing future leaders in music\, while also preserving and advancing the treasured American art form of Jazz through community engagement efforts and transformative live jazz experiences.\n\n\n\nValdés and D’Rivera first met in 1962. Both were child prodigies\, and both were sons of musical families. They worked together in Havana’s Musical Theatre Orchestra\, and in the Cuban Orchestra of Modern Music. They also made their first professional recordings together. They’ve both won multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy awards for their recordings. This reunion between the two has been bubbling in recent years\, including the release of the album I Missed You Too in 2022\, and a 50th anniversary performance of iconic Afro-Cuban jazz band Irakere earlier this year\, which D’Rivera and Valdés formed in 1973 with Arturo Sandoval. The band’s sound was revolutionary for Cuba and revelatory for the Americans who would hear them on the band’s first tour in the United States in 1979. This particular reunion in St. Louis offers two exceptionally rare opportunities to see them in two of the most revered venues in the city.\n\n\nAn after-party will be held at Steward Center\, home of Jazz St. Louis\, located at 3536 Washington Ave.\, on September 19\, 2024. The after-party is following the performance at the Sheldon from 9pm-12am. Tickets are available at $100 and include a dance floor\, live band\, one drink ticket\, and a complimentary dessert bar. You do not need to have purchased tickets for either benefit concert to purchase tickets for the after-party.

SUMMARY:The Sheldon Presents: Neko Case
DESCRIPTION:Is there another songwriter so fearless and inventive?  Neko Case returns to The Sheldon demonstrating how she has bent decades of pop music into new shapes.  Neko Case wields her voice like a kiss and her metaphors like a baseball bat. She has cast the fishing net of her career wide—from Seattle and Vancouver to Chicago and Stockholm\, setting up her home base on a farm in New England.   \nGathering power year after year\, Neko sings with the fierce abandon of a newborn infant crying in a basket in the woods. Since escaping the labels of country and Americana\, the gorgeous train-whistle vocals of her early career sit submerged in her later style\, where their ghost can appear any minute. When her voice jumps an octave\, it’s almost visible\, like sparks at night. “I never knew where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do with my voice\,” she says\, “but I just wanted to do it so bad.”  \nA $1 historic preservation fee will be added to each ticket to help maintain The Sheldon for future generations.

SUMMARY:The Sheldon Presents: Gillian Welch & David Rawlings - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Gillian Welch’s rich and remarkable career spans over twenty-five years\, and she and her musical partner David Rawlings are a pillar of the modern acoustic music world. They have been hailed by Pitchfork as “modern masters of American folk” and “protectors of the American folk song” by Rolling Stone. \nAfter moving to Nashville in the early 1990s\, Welch was launched into the public consciousness when Emmylou Harris recorded a cover of Welch’s “Orphan Girl.” Her career continued to flourish as her 1996 debut Revival\, produced by T Bone Burnett\, was released to critical acclaim. Firmly on the roots music map following the release\, Welch followed up that GRAMMY nominated album release with 1998’s Hell Among The Yearlings\, a stark duet record with Rawlings\, further solidifying the duo as a force in the folk music scene. \nFor her work as executive producer as well as a performer and songwriter on the eight times platinum O Brother\, Where Art Thou? soundtrack\, Welch was awarded the Album of the Year GRAMMY\, and was simultaneously nominated for her own Time (The Revelator) which Rolling Stone called one of the best albums of the 2000s and is widely considered by critics to be one of the best albums of all time. This release was Welch-Rawlings’ first on their own record label\, Acony Records\, helping to establish the duo’s fierce commitment to independent music. \n2003’s Soul Journey was the pair’s first experimentation with a fuller\, electric sound\, which paved the way for the Dave Rawlings Machine project\, and their first release under Rawlings’ name (A Friend of A Friend\, 2009)\, which was accompanied by a time period of heavy touring and headlining major festivals while biding their time to return to the duet sound the two were traditionally known for. 2011’s The Harrow and The Harvest  was nominated for for Best Contemporary Folk Album and Best Engineered Album at the GRAMMYs\, and won Artist of the Year (Welch) and was nominated for Instrumentalist of the Year (Rawlings) at the Americana Honors & Awards. The album garnered glowing reviews and topped multiple year end “Best Of” lists. \nIn celebration of the twenty year anniversary of the Welch-Rawlings partnership\, the two launched an archival branch of Acony Records\, entitled Boots\, dedicated to releasing outtakes\, demos\, bootlegs\, and live recordings from their copious vault. Thus far they have released five album’s worth of music with more on the way. \nIn 2018\, Welch was the first musician to receive the Thomas Wolfe Prize for Literature. The award is bestowed by University of North Carolina Chapel Hill’s Department of English & Comparative Literature and recognizes contemporary writers with a distinguished body of work. 2019 saw Welch and Rawlings nominated for an Academy Award for “Best Original Song” where they performed their singing cowboy duet\, written for the most recent Coen brothers’ film\, live on the show. In 2020 the duo released All the Good Times\, the first album under both their names\, and won the GRAMMY for the Best Folk Album. \nRecently\, they were crowned with the Berklee American Masters Award and honored by Americana Music Association with a Lifetime Achievement for Songwriting. \nWelch and Rawlings continue to tour the world in support of their music while simultaneously writing and lending their talents to countless fellow artists’ projects. They are continuously working to release their acclaimed catalog on phonograph records of the highest possible fidelity.

SUMMARY:The Sheldon Presents: Amy Helm
DESCRIPTION:When creating her fourth album\, the soulful and reflective Silver City\, Amy Helm was guided by her North Star: women’s voices. “Women whispering\, singing\, shouting their stories – speaking the truth. I wanted to dig into that inherited narrative and reach for what I could.” The epistolary anthology is a collection of conversations that travel through time\, exploring and celebrating womanhood in all its complexities. Silver City blends the folk twang of Helm’s childhood with gospel and soul\, drawing inspiration from varied stories: the life of Helm’s great-grandmother\, the story of a young fan struggling with substance abuse\, Helm’s own life as a single mother and hard-touring singer. Recorded at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock\, New York\, and produced by Josh Kaufman\, the album finds Helm exploring themes of womanhood\, single motherhood\, and personal struggles\, offering songs that are deeply personal and narrative-driven. With Silver City\, Helm embraces the beauty of age\, survival\, and transformation through her powerful\, story-rooted performances.

SUMMARY:Golf the Galleries
DESCRIPTION:The Sheldon Art Galleries presents the 7th annual Golf the Galleries interactive exhibition\, June 14 – August 11\, 2024\, sponsored by UMB Bank. The playable\, artist-designed\, nine-hole mini golf installation will again be in the Sheldon Art Galleries space and is designed to be inclusive\, family-friendly and accessible. The nine unique mini golf holes are designed by St. Louis area artists\, architects and creative agencies. Tickets are $12 adults / $10 children 12 and under. Golf the Galleries is open Tuesday – Thursday\, 12 – 5 p.m.; Friday\, 12 – 8 p.m.; and Saturday & Sunday\, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. No advanced reservations will be offered this season. Sales will be accepted at the door only for maximum flexibility. All proceeds from Golf the Galleries support The Sheldon’s visual arts programming\, which offers local and national artists opportunities to share their work with the St. Louis community through free gallery exhibition and education programs.   \nHighlights from the Golf the Galleries:  \n Wonderland Whirl by City Museum  \nCity Museum’s Wonderland Whirl is a whimsical mini golf experience that takes players on a journey through the enchanting world of Wonderland. Tee off at the magical teacup\, the beginning of a fantastic adventure! The golf hole embraces sustainability by incorporating a foundation of sturdy repurposed wood. It features a touch of environmental consciousness utilizing recycled cans and other upcycled material throughout\, aligning with city Museum’s commitment to repurposing.  \n Keep Your Eye on the Ball by Paradowski Creative  \nImmerse yourself in a fusion of visual art and auditory wonder with this mini golf art installation. This course is a multisensory mini adventure where dynamic soundscapes created by the player blend with playful visual aesthetic. As you navigate the course\, your senses will be delighted and challenged\, creating an experience that celebrates the harmonious interplay between sight and sound.  \nStaircase by Trivers Architects  \nThis hole introduces a contest between two players\, using a ‘staircase’ of varying rhythm and obstacle with the guarantee of a hole-in-one — though this is the only guarantee to be found at this hole. Designed as an inherently inclusive race between two competitors\, each play results in its own serendipity — from the various paths the balls travel\, to the obstacles each encounters\, to the ever-changing duets they compose through sound\, each play is distinct and unrepeatable with the exception of a universally shared finale — the culminating clang of the predetermined hole: the cowbell.

SUMMARY:The SteelDrivers
DESCRIPTION:Only Nashville could give birth to a band like the SteelDrivers: a group of seasoned veterans–each distinguished in his or her own right\, each valued in the town’s commercial community–who are seizing an opportunity to follow their hearts to their souls’ reward. In doing so\, they are braiding their bluegrass roots with new threads of their own design\, bringing together country\, soul\, blues\, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. This is new music with the old feeling. SteelDrivers fan Vince Gill describes the band’s fusion as simply “an incredible combination.” \nSpecializing in a unique mix of what might be called bluegrass soul\, the SteelDrivers have become one of the biggest names in progressive bluegrass after making their debut in 2005. While there’s a strong traditional streak in the SteelDrivers’ sound\, they bring a passion to their delivery that adds a distinctive flavor\, and they’re not afraid of adding a forceful grit to the music. \nThe SteelDrivers have been nominated for four Grammys\, the Americana Music Association’s New Artist of the Year and was IBMA’s 2009 Emerging Artist of The Year. In 2015\, “The Muscle Shoals Recordings” won the Grammy award for Best Bluegrass Recording. \nThe SteelDrivers are: Richard Bailey (banjo)\, Tammy Rogers (fiddle)Mike Fleming (bass)Brent Truitt(mandolin) Matt Dame (Guitar) \nMeet and Greet Add-On includes a signed poster from the band and photo op before the concert.

SUMMARY:Chicago Farmer
DESCRIPTION:“Chicago Farmer represents the best qualities of Midwestern U.S.A. His lyrics\, his stories and his heart are true. He’ll give you that feeling of ‘going home’. He’ll make you want to say all those things you’ve been meaning to say but were too afraid. At the same time his songs can make you ask yourself some deep questions. His songs give you hope. If you didn’t know him I believe just his voice would make you believe every word he says. Definitely one of my favorite singers out there today.” – Pokey LaFarge \n“I love Chicago Farmer’s singing and playing and songs\, but it’s the intention behind the whole of his work that moves me to consider him the genuine heir to Arlo Guthrie or Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. He knows the shell game that goes on under folk music… which is sacred to me. Chicago Farmer is my brother; if you like me\, you’ll love him.” – Todd Snider \nThe son of a small-town farming community\, Cody Diekhoff logged plenty of highway and stage time under the name Chicago Farmer before settling in the city in 2003. Profoundly inspired by fellow Midwesterner John Prine\, he’s a working-class folk musician to his core. His small-town roots\, tilled with city streets mentality\, are turning heads North and South of I-80. \n“I love the energy\, music\, and creativity of Chicago\, but at the same time\, the roots and hard work of my small town\,” he shares. Growing up in Delavan\, Illinois\, with a population less than 2\,000\, Diekhoff’s grandparents were farmers\, and their values have always provided the baseline of his songs. \nHe writes music for “the kind of people that come to my shows. Whether in Chicago or Delavan\, everyone has a story\, and everyone puts in a long day and works hard the same way\,” he says. “My generation may have been labeled as slackers\, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t work hard – many people I know put in 50-60 hours a week and 12-hour days. That’s what keeps me playing. I don’t like anyone to be left out; my music is for everyone in big and very small towns.” \nHe listened to punk rock and grunge as a kid before discovering a friend’s dad playing Hank Williams\, and it was a revelation. Prine and Guthrie quickly followed. The name Chicago Farmer was originally for a band\, but the utilitarian life of driving alone from bar to bar\, city to city – to make a direct connection to his audience and listener\, took a deeper hold.\n\nAll ticket prices include a $1 historical preservation fee.
