Florida Theatre Announces Their September Events

The Florida Theatre announces a variety of entertainment this September.

Fourplay
Friday, September 2, 2011
Event Time: 8 PM
Ticket Prices: $40, $35

For two decades, the contemporary jazz quartet known as Fourplay has enjoyed consistent artistic and commercial success by grafting elements of R&B, pop and a variety of other sounds to their unwavering jazz foundations. In the course of a dozen recordings - six of which have climbed to the top of Billboard's Contemporary Jazz Album charts - the supergroup has continued to explore the limitless dimensions and permutations of jazz while at the same time appealing to a broad mainstream audience.

Delbert McClinton
Saturday, September 10, 2011
Event Time: 8 PM
Ticket Prices: $38.50, $28.50

When Delbert McClinton announces with his latest album that he has Room To Breathe, he sure ain't kidding. After more than four decades of making music, McClinton is breathing freely with the confidence and energy of an artist who knows that he has mastered his game. Still basking in the glow of a new Grammy® Award, he has followed up what The Wall Street Journal declared his "best recording ever" -- 2001's Nothing Personal -- with a set that displays even greater muscle, smarts, charm and soul.

Fleet Foxes with The Walkmen
Tuesday, September 20, 2011
Event Time: 8 PM
Ticket Prices: $36.50, $31.50

Fleet Foxes is an indie folk band which formed in Seattle, Washington, United States in 2006. The band consists of Robin Pecknold (vocals, guitar), Skyler Skjelset (guitar), Christian Wargo (bass, guitar, vocals), Casey Wescott (keyboards, vocals), Morgan Henderson (multiple instruments) and J. Tillman (drums, vocals). The quintet describe their music as "baroque harmonic pop jams." They have played at major venues such as the Bumbershoot Music Festival in Seattle, Washington, South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas and Sasquatch! Music Festival at the Gorge Amphitheatre in May 2008.

Elvis Costello and the Imposters: The Revolver Tour
Wednesday, September 21, 2011
Event Time: 8 PM
Ticket Prices: $53.50, $43.50, $33.50

His prolific and varied 30-year career has been marked by two constants: sharp songwriting and musical restlessness. The latter has seen Elvis Costello dabble in almost every musical form, from country to jazz to orchestral. This stems from the fact that, at heart, Costello is a fan. His desire to work with his musical heroes has attracted collaborators as diverse as Burt Bacharach and Paul McCartney, Anne Sofie von Otter, Allen Toussaint, Aimee Mann, Bill Frisell, and Brian Eno.
