Rolie Polie Guacamole

$10 adv / $15 door / $35 Family of Four (Two Adults, Two Kids) Jersey natives Frank Gallo & Andrew Tuzhilin created Rolie Polie Guacamole in 2006 while living in Brooklyn, NY. Over the next 15 years, they’ve played thousands of shows, recorded seven records, receiving top picks from Boston.com, Time Out NY Kids, and Time Out Chicago. Winner of the prestigious Parents’ Choice® and NAPPA Awards, Rolie Polie Guacamole has developed a smart, parent-friendly musical style that dresses up original tunes and classic covers with vibrant harmonies and deft instrumental layers, plugging in a sizzling electric current of rhythm that lights up lyrics humming with relevance and humor. Wrote Trevor Gage of Boston’s WERS-FM, “When you think of kids’ music, what do you see? Freddy Spaghetti? A jaded hipster in a colorful costume alluding to some bizarre form of Brazilian anime? Rolie Polie Guacamole skips stones over those clichés and splashes onto the scene with a technically savvy and imaginative sound that speaks to children and reminds their parents of the golden age of 1990s music”. Their 7th album Avocado came out just in time for the pandemic shutdown and was a hit among fans stuck in their homes with young ones. As the pandemic subsided the band released 65 new songs between October 2022 - November 2023.

Väsen

Doors 7:30pm, Show 8:00pm adv $20 / dos $25 Väsen-Duo, Mikael Marin and Olov Johansson have, after 37 years of interaction and touring, refined their sound and their stage presence to the extent that today they are unique in their kind. With their playful and perfect interplay, they seem to defy the laws of physics in what appears to be a telepathic communication. The music is intense and full of humour. They create their very own musical language which in its appeal is as modern as it is ancient. With the foundation firmly rooted in the traditional music of Uppland, they have always looked curiously at new musical goals. Olov & Micke have played together since 1983 when they met at Oktoberstämman in Uppsala and discovered that they had a large common repertoire and a similar way of playing. It turned out that Micke had learned from Ivar Tallroth in Uppsala and Olov had learned from Curt Tallroth in Harbo. They had been introduced to the rich Bohlin / Tallroth tradition by the two brothers. Olov & Micke started playing intensively together and released their first recording, "Det rister i Örat," in 1985. They have played an incredible amount together over the years in Väsen. Now they go on adventures among old fine musicians, stories and trad tunes and at the same time they continue to break new ground. They perform on a variety of stringed instruments, including a silverbasharpa, oktavharpa, three-rowed Nyckelharpa, violoncello da spalla and a blue electric viola. History Olov Johansson and Mikael Marin started playing together as teenagers around 1980. During the early 1980's they would regularly visit Curt and Ivar Tallroth and Eric Sahlström, older musicians who lived nearby in the Uppland region, where they would play and learn traditional music from them. In this way they became a link in the living tradition that Swedish folk music has enjoyed through the centuries. In 1989, at a music gathering in Røros, Norway, Olov met Roger Tallroth and asked if he would like to try to jam on nyckelharpa and guitar for a bit. Roger declined, intent at that moment on taking a shower. Fortunately, the shower was occupied, so Roger returned with his guitar, and they played for the rest of the day and far into the night. Among the witnesses to this fateful jam session was Olle Paulsson, who thought it was the best music he had ever heard, and made a promise to start a record label if they were willing to be recorded for a CD (and thus Drone Music was born). The following summer Olov became World Champion of both the modern chromatic and older historical nyckelharpas at the first-ever Nyckelharpa World Championships at Österbybruk, Sweden. The added momentum for the first CD recording, which was entitled "Olov Johansson: Väsen." Väsen is a Swedish word with many meanings: spirit, noise, a living being, essence among the most prominent. It was originally meant to just be an album title, but soon people were calling to book the band "Väsen" and the name stuck. The Swedish folk scene immediately embraced Väsen and they got to play a lot on festivals and concert series. They brought a new sound with Nyckelharpa, Viola and Guitar, that attracted a lot of new listeners. The band's popularity gradually grew, along with their international reputation. In 1994, with two more studio albums under their belt ("Vilda Väsen" on Drone and "Essence" on the French Auvidis/Ethnic label), Väsen were asked to participate on a project of Swedish rock musician Mats Wester called "Nordman," which featured rock music and lyrics but with arrangements and playing by Väsen. The first Nordman CD was a huge hit in Sweden, and the band embarked on two tours and recorded a second Nordman CD, playing in front of audiences of up to 25,000 people. On the first Nordman tour they met drummer André Ferrari and eventually experimented with a drums-and-bass version of Väsen. Ultimately, they settled on André playing hand percussion, and the band officially became a quartet in 1996. In 1997 the quartet recorded "Världens Väsen" ("Whirled" in North America). Tours of Norway, Denmark, Finland, Italy, France, the United States and Canada followed, as did a Swedish Grammy and two appearances on the national radio program "A Prairie Home Companion" in the U.S. In 1999 the band released their sixth CD, "Gront." 1999 was also the year of the first Nordic Roots Festival in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S., an annual event which lasted ten years, of which Väsen was the most frequent featured artist. Their 2000 performance was released on CD as “Live at the Nordic Roots Festival.” Meanwhile the members of the band were getting older, having babies and facing the challenges of being a musician in the modern age. A widespread U.S. tour in September 2001 had to be scrapped after 9/11. Although the tour was rescheduled for 2002, André's reluctance to tour and economics forced the band to decide to come over as the original trio. The success and pleasure of playing a new set of trio material culminated in two new recordings- “Trio” and “Keyed Up.” Ultimately, it also resulted in a sort of re-birth of the band, although André have joind for specific projects and gigs, especially in Sweden. In 2004, Väsen were invited to Japan by Yoko Nozaki, their Japanese label (Music Plant) owner. This would be the first of many visits, one of which resulted in a live album (“Live in Japan”) in 2005. Japan is now a regular touring location for the band, along with the United States and much of northern Europe. 2006 brought an invitation to participate in the Carl Linnaeus tricentennial celebrations in Sweden, which became a project that included André and unearthed a surprising amount of music written specifically for the famed botanist. Väsen’s creative arrangements of these old tunes were performed at the celebrations in Uppsala, and recorded as “Linnaeus Väsen.” Meanwhile, Väsen’s international fanbase continued to grow. The American “new acoustic musicians Mike Marshall and Darol Anger reached out for a collaboration, which resulted in a 2007 album and tour dates, and exposure to a new American audience. And a specific concentration of Väsen fans in Bloomington, Indiana, around the Lotus World Music & Arts Festival, managed to get the city to rename a city street during the festival as “Väsen Street.” This inspired a tune by Olov, which became the title track of their 2009 recording. Punch Brothers, and American acoustic and “neo-bluegrass” band, recorded a cover of Mikael Marin’s “Flippen” in 2012 for their album “Who’s Feeling Young Now?” and it has become a staple of Punch Brothers’ live set, spreading the word further, globally. As a result, in many parts of the world, “Flippen” is mistaken as a traditional American bluegrass tune! 2013 saw the creation of a new set of mostly original Väsen tunes with the “Mindset” CD. A live performance of much of these tunes, along with some old favorites, was captured on video during the band’s celebratory 25th Anniversary tour at an old movie house in Örsundsbro, Sweden on 24 July, 2014, and subsequently released as a DVD/CD set. Later that year (25 October) the band was honored with a big “25 Jubilee” event in their “home town” of Uppsala, featuring many guest musicians. When Michael League formed the band Snarky Puppy back in 2004, one of the first tunes the band tried to play together was André Ferrari’s “Shapons Vindaloo.” League’s admiration for Väsen ultimately lead him to invite the band to participate in the second Snarky Puppy Family Dinner in Feburary 2015, along with a host of other musicians including Becca Stevens, David Crosby, and Susana Baca. The resulting performances were recorded and released on audio and video. 2016 became a year of collaborations, from a one-off with the Danish String Quartet at the Savannah Music Festival, to a short tour with the Norwegian classical ensemble Trondheimsolistene (Trondheim Solists), and a more extensive touring project with Lena Willemark and the Norrbotten Big Band in Sweden (and once again, André Ferrari). In between, the trio played gigs in Sweden, Germany, Belgium, the U.S. and Japan. 2017 – 2020 Brewed was released in 2017 and the band continued to tour in Europe, USA and Japan. 2019 Väsen celebrated 30 years as a band and released the album Rule of three. A big concert at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress with many guests was the highlight of the celebration. The whole concert was filmed and the concert film can still be watched on Vimeo “Väsen 30 Year”. 2020 the corona pandemic hit the world and most tours were cancelled and postponed into the future. Roger Tallroth decided to leave the band for other musical projects. Olov and Mikael continued the creative work and found a new sound for Väsen, decided to resist the pandemic with monthly livestreams that has been very appreciated by so many people all around the world.

Harmonizing the Songs of Bob Dylan (and his contemporaries) - A six-week singing class with Emily Eagen

Harmonizing the Songs of Bob Dylan with Emily Eagen Six Sessions on Mondays 7 pm - 8:30 pm: April 21, and 28, May 12, and 19, June 2 and 9 In this six-week class, we'll dive deep into the songs of Bob Dylan and sing them in two- and three-part harmony. We'll sing well-known songs and lesser-known gems, learning pre-arranged parts for some, and finding our own for others. Along the way, we'll also sing songs by Bob Dylan's contemporaries in the 1960s, taking a bigger view of the folk and singer-songwriter scene that Dylan was part of. This class is designed for singers who are comfortable singing in harmony, and can hold their own line against others. We'll work on all the things that make harmony singing fun: finding parts by ear, gaining more independence with a line, and getting beyond the notes to sing with expression, phrasing, and style in order to really make a song click. Dylan's rich lyrics and melodies will take us as far as we can go into great harmony singing!

Marley Hale / Rebecca Porter

Doors 8pm, Show 8:30pm $20 adv / $25 DOS With a beguiling voice that would feel right at home on classic country radio, Marley Hale delivers a captivating country/folk sound rooted in the refined yet adventurous musicality she’s cultivated almost her entire life. As revealed on her debut EP, By My Own Ways, to be released July 26, 2024, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter matches her timeless sensibilities and graceful musicianship with a one-of-a-kind narrative voice, endlessly merging raw truth with mesmerizing storytelling. Born in Austin but raised in Northern California, Hale first learned to play guitar from her father at age 10 and soon began writing songs of her own. Although she grew up listening to classic-rock bands like Led Zeppelin and pop visionaries like Kate Bush and David Bowie, she later became fascinated with folk luminaries such as Karen Dalton and Bob Dylan and eventually discovered the artists she now lists among her essential touchstones, including Loretta Lynn and Gillian Welch. Born in Guam and raised in the Shenandoah Valley, Rebecca Porter blends soulful melodies and fearless lyrics with her honey-smooth voice to create her own brand of Appalachian honky tonk. Her 2023 EP, Queen of the Local, earned national acclaim and led to recognition in Rissi Palmer's Color Me Country Class of 2024, features on Ed Helms' Good Country, and a debut on NPR's Mountain Stage. Known for electrifying live performances, Porter captivates audiences with her emotional intensity and grit. With her highly anticipated debut album, Roll With the Punches, set for release in August 2025 (announcing April 25), Porter's personal and raw storytelling continues to push boundaries, projecting a cinematic soundscape that balances traditional country’s rugged spirit with an unapologetic journey of perseverance.

Shape Note Singing Workshop Series

Shape Note Workshop Series Sundays April 27 and May 18, 3:30 - 5 pm Join workshop leader Nancy Mandel and special guests for a series of workshops on the American tradition of Sacred Harp singing, also known as Shape Note singing. Shape Note's special notation makes reading the tunes easy (or easier, anyway) in pursuit of the tradition’s goal: energetic, heartfelt, and bone-tingling community music-making in which everyone, with or without musical training, can participate. And it works! You will be singing throughout the workshop. This miniseries will teach how to read the shapes and will also introduce students to shape note’s history and culture. Melodies will be taught both via the notation and by ear. The sessions can stand alone -- we’ll cover the basics both times -- but the second will go deeper. Come to one or come to both! Nancy Mandel has been singing Sacred Harp for 16 years. She leads the monthly Brooklyn three-book singing, has done (nearly) all the big-singing jobs from registration table to Chair, and found the Prospect Park loggia for Covid-era outdoor singing. We’ll also have visitors from the New York Sacred Harp community.

Mission To deliver FREE high quality instruments directly to people throughout the Southeast and Appalachia who were affected by Hurricane Helene. Who is supporting ?

What’s needed ? This initiative is both for professional and casual musicians, and we aim to give them back the same/comparable quality instrument(s) that were lost. Appalachian culture has many beautiful intricacies, with musical heritage at the forefront, and we aim to keep that in tact. We’re asking all of our collaborators to lean on their network of musicians, instrument makers, and philanthropic followers in a way that feels authentic to them. Our Focus : Finding musicians in need Building an instrument donor database Acquiring tax exempt donations through our 501(c)3 nonprofit fiscal sponsor Music in Common to cover any costs. More About ReString Appalachia : ReString Appalachia supports Music Wellness by addressing the deep personal, cultural, and economic losses that Appalachian musicians face after Hurricane Helene. For many residents of Appalachia and the surrounding areas, music is more than a pastime—it is a livelihood and a vital connection to their heritage. Instruments lost in the hurricane were not only tools of self-expression but also critical sources of income and community identity. Through ReString Appalachia, we aim to restore this source of wellness and resilience by placing high-quality instruments back into the hands of those affected, helping them reclaim their means of livelihood and reconnect with their communities. Supported by over 125 artists and cultural organizations, we are building an instrument donor network and gathering resources to bring music back to these musicians, reinforcing both their wellness and economic stability. Our goal is to hand-deliver instruments in late 2024 and early 2025, offering not only the ability to play music again but also restoring a vital means of making a living. ReString Appalachia is committed to harnessing music’s unique power to heal, uplift, and economically sustain Appalachian communities.

Rolie Polie Guacamole

$10 adv / $15 door / $35 Family of Four (Two Adults, Two Kids) Jersey natives Frank Gallo & Andrew Tuzhilin created Rolie Polie Guacamole in 2006 while living in Brooklyn, NY. Over the next 15 years, they’ve played thousands of shows, recorded seven records, receiving top picks from Boston.com, Time Out NY Kids, and Time Out Chicago. Winner of the prestigious Parents’ Choice® and NAPPA Awards, Rolie Polie Guacamole has developed a smart, parent-friendly musical style that dresses up original tunes and classic covers with vibrant harmonies and deft instrumental layers, plugging in a sizzling electric current of rhythm that lights up lyrics humming with relevance and humor. Wrote Trevor Gage of Boston’s WERS-FM, “When you think of kids’ music, what do you see? Freddy Spaghetti? A jaded hipster in a colorful costume alluding to some bizarre form of Brazilian anime? Rolie Polie Guacamole skips stones over those clichés and splashes onto the scene with a technically savvy and imaginative sound that speaks to children and reminds their parents of the golden age of 1990s music”. Their 7th album Avocado came out just in time for the pandemic shutdown and was a hit among fans stuck in their homes with young ones. As the pandemic subsided the band released 65 new songs between October 2022 - November 2023.

The Lovestruck Balladeers / Matt Munisteri

Doors 8pm, Show 8:30pm $20 adv / $25 DOS The Lovestruck Balladeers enchant audiences with their masterful performances and inspired repertoire of ragtime, jazz and beautiful songs from around the world. Born out of New York’s vibrant classic jazz and traditional music scene, The Lovestruck Balladeers formed during a series of recording sessions for Jalopy Records' 2018 release, Estrellas de Radio . Since their debut at The Brooklyn Folk Festival that same year, the versatile quintet has made a name for itself as a compelling act highlighting musical excellence, fresh arrangements, original songs and a tightly crafted stage show. The Lovestruck Balladeers are Jake Sanders, Dennis Lichtman, Sean Cronin and Dalton Ridenhour. Featuring special guest Mike Davis. It’s a daunting task, this business of encapsulating Matt Munisteri ’s musical self. As the sparkling guitarist on several chart-topping jazz CDs; a critically lauded songwriter and nimble lyricist; an urban banjo-warrior and a sometime session musician; a selfless and devoted sideman; a wry-yet-honest singer; an engaging and winning front-man; and an arranger whose ear-pulling re-inventions of well-traveled songs have contributed to Grammy winning CDs for artists such as Loudon Wainwright and Catherine Russell, Matt’s various dueling career paths might at first seem difficult to reconcile. Additionally you’d be hard-pressed to find another Brooklyn native who grew up playing bluegrass banjo since he was in the single digits; who has recorded with artists as divergent as consummate jazz balladeer “Little” Jimmy Scott and 1980’s avante-noise godfather Glenn Branca; who is regarded as a contemporary master of 1920’s and ’30’s jazz styles, and is an ardent student of American folk traditions, but counts among his regular creative cohorts several musicians associated with the New York Downtown music world. Yet ultimately Matt’s journey through 20th century American music yields a vision which feels intrinsically whole, with his own music always serving as one-of-a-kind reflection of a life immersed in all the far-flung variants of American Popular Song. Maybe it’s easier to say that whatever he’s currently up to, it will be a living reconciliation of rural and urban, long-gone and contemporary, individual experience and canonized scripture.

Rental instruments are available as well as generous financial aid through the new Don Friedman Scholarship fund. Contact Lynette@jalopytheatre.org for more information. We believe that music education is equally about development of personal skills and cooperative interaction with others. So our staff of experienced musicians and educators are dedicated to providing an environment that responds to your child's individual needs while maintaining a supportive social setting for everyone. Join us for a week of music, creativity and fun! *Please plan on packing a daily snack and lunch for your campers.
