Taj Mahal
6/6 – 8 p.m.
There’s not much we can say about Taj that hasn’t already been said. What we probably appreciate the most about this blues giant and his colossal body of work is how much territory he covers – be it Caribbean, African, or straight American-style blues – it’s all there and totally original. We’re expecting yet another sold-out performance, so contact our box office soon!

  9 Artie Shaw Orchestra
6/9 – 8 p.m.
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Artie’s birth, the ASO will seduce you with their potent dose of swing and nostalgia. Shaw’s brilliance on the clarinet was undeniable, as was his group’s power within the music industry during their height in the 1930’s and 40’s. The long series of musical groups Shaw formed during his time included mega-talents Billie Holiday, Mel Torme, Buddy Rich, Tal Farlow, and trombonist-arranger Ray Conniff. A fascinating man whose music lives on via the orchestra bearing his name.

  10 Loudon Wainwright III
6/10 – 8 p.m.
Legendary folk artist, satirist, actor, 2009 Grammy winner (Best traditional folk album), and father to musicians Martha and Rufus. We’re particularly excited for this one, and if you know the man’s music, you most likely are as well. Maybe we’ll all get lucky and hear him perform one of his more famous songs, the breastfeeding ode (to his son) "Rufus is a Tit Man." www.lwIII.com

The Max Weinberg Big Band
6/17 – 7 p.m.
$30
Building upon his 17 years as the leader of what many considered the best band in late night Television and 36 year career as the backbeat behind Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Max Weinberg presents a bold, swinging fifteen piece aggregation that continues the traditions established by Max's musical heroes - among whom, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Doc Severinsen, and Maynard Ferguson lead the pack. Weinberg is a past winner of Playboy's Pop and Jazz Music Poll as Best Drummer as well as Rolling Stone Magazine's Critics Poll as Best Drummer. Max's credo: "...show up, do a good job, and give the people more than their money's worth."Avalon Theatre Tickets
