SUMMARY:Adam Ezra Group at The Kate (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Adam Ezra Group at The Kate brings a live Americana performance to Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center (The Kate) with a show that blends music\, storytelling\, and community impact. Led by Adam Ezra Group\, the performance reflects a grassroots approach that has built a dedicated following across the Northeast. Showtime is set for 8:00 PM\, offering an intimate theater setting that matches the band’s connection-driven style. \nKnown for their independent rise\, Adam Ezra Group has developed a reputation through years of touring\, fan engagement\, and community-focused initiatives. Their nonprofit\, RallySound\, has supported causes ranging from veterans’ services to local outreach efforts\, and continues that mission with this event by partnering with ALS United CT. Donations collected at the show will support programs aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals and families affected by ALS. \nMusically\, the band blends Americana\, folk\, and rock influences into a live performance built on audience connection and shared experience. Their shows often move beyond traditional concerts\, incorporating storytelling and a sense of community that has helped them grow from small venues to sold-out theaters. At The Kate\, the setting enhances that connection\, creating a performance that is both personal and purpose-driven.

SUMMARY:Glenn Miller Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:If you’re “In the Mood” for real swing music\, this is the one that delivers it the way it was meant to be heard. Glenn Miller Orchestra brings its national tour to Old Saybrook for a night built around one of the most recognizable catalogs in American music. The program leans into era-defining hits like “In the Mood\,” “Chattanooga Choo Choo\,” and “Moonlight Serenade\,” songs that didn’t just top charts in their time… they helped define the entire big band sound that still echoes through jazz and pop today. \nWhat sets this show apart is how closely it sticks to the original style. The 15-member orchestra\, along with its lead singers and vocal group\, recreates the arrangements with that unmistakable precision and warmth Glenn Miller’s band was known for. Tight horn sections\, smooth transitions\, and that steady\, danceable rhythm bring tracks like “A String of Pearls\,” “Tuxedo Junction\,” and “Pennsylvania 6-5000” back to life in a way that feels authentic rather than updated. It’s not a reinterpretation… it’s a faithful recreation of a sound that shaped an era. \nThere’s also real history behind what you’re hearing. The orchestra has been touring continuously since 1956\, performing more than 200 shows a year and carrying forward a legacy that began in the late 1930s when Glenn Miller’s recordings dominated radio and ballrooms across the country. Live\, it becomes more than just a concert… it’s a time capsule with energy\, where longtime fans and new listeners meet in the same space and feel that music click into place. If you’re looking for a night of classic swing done right\, this is as close as it gets.

SUMMARY:Melissa Manchester
DESCRIPTION:With a career spanning more than five decades\, Melissa Manchester remains one of the most versatile and enduring voices in American pop music. Rising to prominence after her early work with Bette Midler’s Harlettes\, Manchester built a successful solo career that produced 19 Billboard-charting hits\, including classics like “Midnight Blue” and “Don’t Cry Out Loud.” Her songwriting reach extends even further\, with artists such as Barbra Streisand\, Roberta Flack\, and Kenny Loggins recording her work\, solidifying her influence across generations of performers. \nHer accomplishments go beyond the charts. Manchester earned a Grammy Award for Best Pop Female Vocal Performance with “You Should Hear How She Talks About You\,” and made history as the first artist to have two Academy Award-nominated songs in the same year. Her work in film and television includes songwriting for major productions and acting roles on both stage and screen\, including appearances in *For the Boys* and the television series *Blossom*. Her theater career is equally expansive\, with performances in productions like *Sweeney Todd* and *Funny Girl*\, along with co-writing successful musicals that have been staged across the country. \nLive\, Melissa Manchester brings that full body of work into a performance that blends storytelling\, musicianship\, and decades of experience. From early influences rooted in New York’s music and arts scene to her continued work as an educator and artist-in-residence\, her career reflects a deep connection to both craft and audience. With the release of her recent album *RE:VIEW*\, which revisits and reimagines her classic songs\, Manchester continues to evolve while honoring the music that defined her legacy.
