David Bromberg is a larger-than-life tornado of a performer who takes incredible joy from making great music with artists he admires (Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, and Carly Simon to name a few). "He can hold an audience in his hand with a touching anecdotal song, and then set it romping with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying" (The New York Times).

Gold Heart are three sisters from northern Virginia and one of the best young bands in bluegrass.

Traditionally rooted but with a modern edge, their music touches all the emotions. Opening for Gold Heart is Long Island's Buddy Merriam and Backroads. Celebrating 30 years in bluegrass, Buddy has been featured in Bluegrass Unlimited magazine and other national media.

Beyond Measure | $25

Part of the Insights & Revelations series
Written and performed by David Deblinger. Video by Tomoko Miyagi.
In two stories - one ancient and one contemporary - David Deblinger explores volatile and hilarious connections to the word "father." From the Talmudic Story of the Pardes, which depicts the varied results of four Jewish sages entering a mystical garden in the 2nd century, Deblinger creates a beautiful multi-media piece that weaves a tale of a personal journey with a story of a loved one's illness, leading to self-examination, renewal and transformation.
