SUMMARY:The Northwoods Improvisers
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. Doors open at 5pm for dinner. Seating begins at 6pm for “Dinner & a Show”. The second show starts seating at 9pm.\n \nThe Northwoods Improvisers first came together in 1976. Early versions of the band played collective electro-acoustic improvised music. In 1980 the band switched to an all acoustic instrumentation which has remained to this day. Mike Gilmore and Mike Johnston were founding members of the ensemble. Nick Ashton joined in 1986.  The Northwoods Improvisers Sextet consists of Mike Johnston on bass\, Nick Ashton on drums\, Donovan Boxey on saxophones\, Dominic Bieringa on saxophones\, Jack O’Brien on cello and Mike Khoury on violin.\n \nThe Northwoods Improvisers have performed with several key musicians in their field\, including Bill Smith\, Eugene Chadbourne\, Danny Spencer\, Eddie Gale and most notably\, working with the late Detroit composer Faruq Z. Bey formerly of Griot Galaxy.  The group has released several CDs on the UK’s ARC label as well as on Entropy Stereo and Sagittarius A Star records based in Italy.\n \nThis most recent version of the sextet included the long standing rhythm section of bassist and drummer Mike Johnston and Nick Ashton\, both very accomplished musicians with decades of collective history between them.  Donovan Boxey and Dominic Bierenga bring a double saxophone attack with the two switching to different wind instruments between them.  Together\, they exceed the sum of their parts.  Mike Khoury and Jack O’Brien along with Mike Johnston comprise a string section and bring the lushness of arco strings to the mix along with Eastern sensibilities.\n \nThe Northwoods Improvisers Sextet bring together through composed pieces with collective improvisation\, eastern modes\, and Native American elements to create music with references to indigenous sounds and the music of those who have been historically underrepresented in history.  The Northwoods Improvisers Sextet has recently completed work on a new album which will be issued in September of 2023.\n \nPersonnel:\nMike Johnston – bass\, Native American flutes\, percussion\nNick Ashton – drums\, percussion\nDonovan Boxey – saxophones\, melodian\, percussion\nDominic Bierenga – saxophones\, flute\, bass clarinet\, percussion\nJack O’Brien – cello\, bass\, percussion\nMike Khoury – violin

SUMMARY:Harmonica Shah and Howard Glazer
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 4pm for dinner. Showtimes are at 5:30p & 7:30p for this performance.  Seating for the shows begins at 5pm for the first show  & 7pm for the second show.\nBorn in California\, Shah also spent time in Somerville\, Texas\, with his blues harmonica and guitar playing grandfather\, Sam Dawson. Dawson had recorded for both Alan Lomax and Duke Records. His mother\, a beautician\, encouraged him to be a salesman for Jet magazine in the latter part of the 1950s. This allowed Shah access to Oakland’s bars and clubs\, where he heard musicians such as Lowell Fulson\, Jimmy McCracklin\, Juke Boy Bonner and Big Mama Thornton.\nShah told Living Blues magazine that his grandfather’s passion for the blues inspired him. “Well see I picked it up from him\, he’d be out in the fields singin’ all that (sings in a slow moan) ‘Tell me how long\, whoa\, tell me how long it’s been since you’ve been away from home’ Well\, that’s raw! That’s a big damn difference from ‘Good Golly Miss Molly'”.\nHe moved to Detroit in 1967\, and worked for Ford Motors for fifteen years. Shah bought himself a cheap harmonica in 1976 and\, while operating as a taxicab driver\, Shah was introduced to local blues jam sessions. “Hell\, that was it\, no turning back then”\, Shah recalled.
