With his new band\, The Road Runners\, Jim released his latest live album Here\, There & Everywhere. \n\n\n\nTouring the country and playing sold-out shows\, Jim says that he’s enjoying discovering who he is\, where he’s been and\, most significantly\, where he’s going.

SUMMARY:Charlie Musselewhite
DESCRIPTION:Sisters Bar & Restaurant opens at 5pm. Information and reservations here.Doors at 6:30pm/Show at 7:30pmA SEATED SHOW \n\n\n\nCharlie Musselwhite’s journey through the blues was from his birth in Mississippi to Memphis\, Chicago and California. Arriving in Chicago in the early sixties\, he was just in time for the epochal blues revival. In 1966 at the age of 22 he recorded the landmark Stand Back! to rave reviews. A precipitous relocation to San Francisco in 1967\, where his album was being played on underground radio\, found him welcomed into the counterculture scene around the Fillmore West as an authentic purveyor of the real deal blues.  \n\n\n\nCharlie Musselwhite is living proof that great music only gets better with age. This man cut his (musical) teeth alongside Muddy Waters\, Howling Wolf and everyone on the South side of Chicago in the early 1960’s. Thank your lucky stars that he is still with us telling the truth with a voice and harp tone like no other. \n\n\n\nMore than 20 albums later he is at the top of his game\, a revered elder statesman of the blues nowhere near ready to hang up his harps\, his depth of expression as a singer and an instrumentalist unexcelled and only growing deeper. \n\n\n\nCharlie has been collaborating with the world’s finest Artists for many years\, including Ben Harper\, Cyndi Lauper\, Eddie Vedder\, Tom Waits\, Bonnie Raitt\, The Blind Boys of Alabama\, Gov’t Mule\, INXS\, Mickey Hart and Japan’s Kodo Drummers\, George Thorogood\, Eliades Ochoa\, Cat Stevens and personal friend and best man at his wedding John Lee Hooker. \n\n\n\nIn an era when the term legendary gets applied to auto-tuned pop stars\, this singular blues harp player\, singer\, songwriter and guitarist has earned and deserves to be honored as a true master of American classic vernacular music. \n\n\n\n2019 GRAMMY Nominee NO MERCY IN THIS LAND with Ben Harper2014 GRAMMY Winner GET UP with Ben Harper 13-time GRAMMY Nominee33-time Blues Music Award WinnerMany-time Living Blues Award Winner

SUMMARY:Both Sides Now: The Music and Lives of Joni Mitchell + Leonard Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Sisters Bar & Restaurant opens at 5pm. Information and reservations here.Doors at 6:30pm/Show at 7:30pmA SEATED SHOW \n\n\n\n    “Two singer-songwriters sit on the edge of a cliff…” \n\n\n\nWith these words\, we are drawn into the world of Both Sides Now – a theatrical concert that explores the music and lives of long-time friends and one-time lovers\, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Created by\, and starring Robbie Schaefer and Danielle Wertz\, the cabaret-style performance traverses decades alongside songs such as A Case of You\, Hallelujah\, Big Yellow Taxi\, Suzanne\, and many more. Both Sides Now is at once a piece of the 60’s and 70’s\, and of right now — offering us a story about the messiness of being human\, of lives persistently lived at the edge of growth\, and of finding the courage to turn toward one another\, again and again. \n\n\n\nRobbie Schaefer – Robbie is a rabbi\, singer-songwriter and theatre/film artist. The guitarist and songwriter for the indie folk band Eddie From Ohio has several solo releases as well\, including the 2023 single Under the Sun. \n\n\n\nHe is the founder of Lamplighters\, an online community that cultivates small-batch\, relationship-driven\, inclusive Judaism. Also he\, is the founder of OneVoice\, an international non-profit that unites and empowers youth through music and the creative arts. The organization was active from 2011-2023 and completed projects in Tanzania\, Nicaragua\, India\, Greece\, and Israel. \n\n\n\nRobbie has shared the stage with Jason Mraz\, Sara Bareilles\, Josh Groban\, Keb ‘ Mo\, and Emmylou Harris\, among others. His first work for musical theater\, Light Years\, which explores his relationship with his father\, a Holocaust survivor\, saw its world premiere at the Tony Award-winning Signature Theatre in 2018. The musical is now a feature film entitled Burst The Silence (Rolling Pictures)\, which released on streaming platforms in 2025. \n\n\n\nDanielle Wertz – Danielle is a storyteller\, collaborator\, jazz musician\, composer and arranger. Her voice—described by DownBeat Magazine as “evocative… remarkably intimate\, expressive and poignant”—has earned her an international following as a jazz artist and growing recognition across disciplines. \n\n\n\n​Wertz began her career deeply rooted in the jazz tradition\, gaining early acclaim as the youngest semi-finalist in the 2015 Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition and runner-up in the 2017 Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition. After releasing two small ensemble albums as a bandleader and a third with Denmark’s Nordkraft Big Band that earned a 2026 GRAMMY® Award\, Danielle has affirmed her singular voice in contemporary vocal jazz and continues to expand her presence in genre-blurring large ensemble work. \n\n\n\nAfter completing her first European tour as a bandleader in the fall\, Danielle remains an avid collaborator internationally and at home in the NYC creative music scene. She is looking forward to being the featured artist on two major interdisciplinary projects in 2026: a Harriet Steinke original work commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects\, and a crossover jazz opera composed by Ben Morris with a libretto by Gina Stevensen.
