David Bromberg is a larger-than-life tornado of a performer who takes incredible joy from making great music with artists he admires. David was an always-in-demand studio musician, playing fiddle, acoustic and electric guitar, pedal steel guitar and dobro on more than 100 albums, and then became a wildly successful solo artist, combining blues, folk, gospel, and roots styles in whirlwind live concerts with his David Bromberg Big Band.

At the height of his popularity, David chucked it all, learned violin-making, and settled down to raise a family and run a small music store. On occasion, though, David loves to get his friends together to make music. In particular, David gets great joy from sharing the stage with his protégées, Angel Band, a vocal trio featuring Aly Paige, Kathleen Weber and David's wife Nancy Josephson.

Expect a stage full of high-octane virtuoso musicians, the sheer joy of making music, and a rare chance to see David live.

Jesse Colin Young has made good-time, sunny music since he debuted as a folksinger in 1960s Greenwich Village, continuing during his days with The Youngbloods that spawned hits like Get Together, Sunlight, and Darkness Darkness, and in recent years as a resident of Hawai'i who continues to tour and record.  Jesse's long musical road includes performances with Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and Crosby Stills Nash & Young and a lifetime of musical activism on behalf of world peace organizations.  We are delighted to welcome this big spirit to The Sanctuary Concerts.  Jesse will perform with his acoustic trio, including his wife, Connie Darden-Young, on violin and New Jersey native Vito Truglio on bass.

We cherish this six-woman Irish-American group, who bring virtuoso musicianship and stunning harmonies to their Celtic repertoire and are joined by a troupe of high energy Irish step dancers.  Taking their name from the title of a traditional Irish jig, the group came together as the first and only all-woman traditional Irish band. Since then, they have performed throughout North and South America, the United Kingdom and Europe, Australia and New Zealand and have collaborated with James Taylor, Joan Baez, Emmy Lou Harris, The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem, The Chieftains, and dozens of symphony orchestras. The "Celtic Album," their collaboration with the Boston Pops Symphony, led to a Grammy nomination.
