One might draw comparisons to American jam and roots-rock acts like Dave Matthews and the Grateful Dead. However, sonically speaking, elements like Pedal Steel, Mandolin, Fiddle, and Dobro place the material squarely in the old-time Americana tradition.
Friday, December 14 @ 9 pm | Jack Grace Band
"Kevin Canfield, writing for the New York Times, exclaimed, "Make no mistake: Jack Grace is an old-fashioned country musician." Except that he isn't.
What sets Jack Grace apart from rest of the country or alt-country scene is his laugh-out-loud, absurdist wit. Not only is Grace and his kick-ass band a great party band of 6 terrific musicians, but Grace is also very smart and very funny.

Saturday, December 15 @ 9 pm | Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens
Naomi Shelton is no ordinary gospel singer. Though she, like many others, grew up singing with her sisters in their Alabama church, she has also spent much of her life in the soul clubs around New York, and her 45s, "41st St. Breakdown" and "Wind Your Clock" b/w "Talking ‘Bout a Good Thing," have long been revered and prized by funk DJs around the globe. This is soul music - informed by the church, perhaps, but soul music nonetheless, relatable to all.
Sunday, December 16 @ 7 pm | Helsinki On Broadway | Malcolm Gets
Helsinki on Broadway proudly welcomes Tony Award Nominee Malcolm Gets to its stage.
A classically trained pianist as well as singer, Malcolm will offer a rich selection of Broadway show tunes from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Cole Porter, Jule Styne, and Stephen Sondheim as well as songs from contemporary writers like James Taylor and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
Monday, December 17 @ 8 pm | An Acoustic Evening with Matisyahu
Matisyahu returns to the road for a RARE and limited run of special performances in an “Acoustic Evening With Matisyahu”.
Now based in Los Angeles, Matisyahu blasts off yet again with Spark Seeker, a bold new studio album that finds the one-of-a-kind vocalist and songwriter exploring uncharted territory with help from an expansive cast of collaborators. “My musical tastes are all over the board,” he says in reference to a record that mixes ancient traditional sounds with futuristic electro beats, rapping with singing, songs of the spirit with songs of the body. “And, besides, my music has never been about the outer garment. It’s about searching out inspiration wherever it lies. This album is about seeking that spark within.”
