Coyote Jack mines the fertile field of American roots-derived music that includes country- and folk-rock, rock, blues, and punk. The band blends the best of these influences in original songs with universal themes: the joys and pains of love (The Best of You), favorite junker cars from our youth (One Bad Chevrolet), landmark events that defined generations (1961), and the plain and simple joys of partying (Love Is Love). The band can deliver hard-driving classic barroom music with relentless bass, drums and scorching guitar, then offer equally authentic softer sounds that spotlight chiming piano and sensitive vocals.

Now in its 12th year, the #1 Urban Stageplay Man of the House tackles domestic abuse, where the man is the victim as opposed to the abuser. The piece focuses on the verbal and emotional aspects of Domestic Violence. Man of the House is written, produced, directed, and stars award-winning producer Andre Davis. Also starring: R&B Singer Monifah, C. King from MTV's Wildin' Out, and Oshea Russell from Tyler Perry's "All the Queen's Men".
Celebrate 250 years of America through the power of orchestral music. This special concert honors the nation's history and spirit with a program that reflects the many voices, stories, and sounds that have shaped America. A stirring tribute to the American experience.
Hailed by some as a successor to Billie Holiday, Cécile McLorin Salvant is one of the leading voices in jazz today. A winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition at age 21 and a three-time Grammy Award recipient, she brings a singular clarity and curiosity to everything she sings.
"Smashingly Theatrical"—Chicago Sun Times
Treat your family to an evening of mind-blowing magic and comedy that gets the whole audience into the act. You’ll be stunned and amazed as master illusionist David Caserta has people levitating, disappearing, and reappearing right before your eyes. You will witness never-before-seen illusions that have been created just for this show.
