Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Miller this year with their dynamic opening performance! This sophisticated and cutting-edge Irish dance troupe, Trinity Irish Dance Company will leave everyone breathless. Through a blend of percussive power and aerial grace, TIDC sends a clear message of female empowerment.
This performance celebrates Founding Artistic Director Mark Howard’s unique vision to fuse vibrant Irish traditions with ever-evolving American innovation. The program features Howard’s “Push”, an explosion of virtuosic footwork, “An Sorcas” (The Circus), a colorful comment on the battle between substance and spectacle choreographed by Howard and Associate Artistic Director Chelsea Hoy, and “American Traffic”, a hybrid of Irish step and American tap that plays at the intersection of rhythmic sensibilities and rebellious histories, choreographed by Michelle Dorrance and Melinda Sullivan.

Featuring a live band fronted by Killarney-born, New York-based singer/songwriter Brendan O’Shea, the program will be rounded out by classic pieces from Howard, including “Johnny”, the early work that altered the Irish dance landscape.

“Sophisticated and commanding” (Los Angeles Times), the Trinity Irish Dance Company (TIDC) is the birthplace of progressive Irish dance, an innovative movement genre that “ushered in a new era for Irish step dance” (Chicago Tribune).

[From All Music.com-Matt Collar] Singer Jessie Murph brings a sugar-coated grit to her moody trap- and R&B-influenced pop. She first broke through in 2021 with singles like "Upgrade" and "When I'm Not Around." Her first EP, If I Died Last Night, appeared in 2022, followed by a 2023 mixtape, drowning.
Born in Nashville, Murph grew up in Alabama, where she moved with her musician parents at age five. Living first in Huntsville and later in Athens, she became interested in performing, listening to a mix of pop, hip-hop, and country. She began posting vlogs and cover songs online, drawing both fans and cyberbullies, the latter of whom would inspire her emotive and deeply felt songwriting style. The industry also took notice, and in 2021, she signed a recording contract with Columbia Records and released her debut single, "Upgrade." More tracks followed, including "Sobriety," "When I'm Not Around," "Always Been You," and 2022's "Pray," the latter of which appeared on her debut EP, If I Died Last Night. A year later, she returned with a full-length mixtape, drowning.

Jessie Murph
They Leave
It was when her family moved to Athens that there was a noticeable switch in lifestyle, one where women’s roles were still viewed to be cooking and cleaning. By this point, Jessie was already building a buzz on TikTok, posting videos of her dancing to various songs and singing covers. Once her school caught wind of her growing online popularity, they started wrongfully punishing her for it, ultimately causing Jessie’s family to relocate.
Not all was lost; the backwards society pushed Jessie further toward music, where she used songwriting to blast past the gender norms surrounding her former community. While Jessie is still young, she knows exactly who she is and the kind of music that she wants to make. “I always ask myself, ‘Is this something that I would listen to?’” she says matter-of-factly. “Because the music I make is for girls and boys to scream to in their car, to cry to, and say ‘fuck you’ to. I make songs that say the things we always want to say, but don’t."

With more that 40 million copies sold and over 9 million monthly listeners across streaming platforms, Marco Antonio Solís is without question a significant artist to rise in the Latin world in the last two decades. Solis will be in concert this weekend in Sugraland at Smart financial Center. The Latin music artist hails from Michoacan, Mexico
Solís was only 12 when he formed his first group, Los Hermanitos Solís, with brother Joel. He was still a teenager when he formed Los Bukis in the early '70s.
Over the course of the next two decades, Los Bukis came to profoundly influence the norteño and tejano music of Mexico and the southwestern United States. Though Solís continued to work closely with Los Bukis, he also initiated a solo career that resulted in platinum certifications for mid-'90s LPs such as Quiereme, Inalcanzable, and Por Amor a Mi Pueblo. Trozos de Mi Alma followed in 1999. Solís ushered in the new millennium with a two-volume live set, En Vivo, and its companion, En Vivo, Vol. 2. His next studio album, Mas de Mi Alma, was released in 2001 and, like his previous solo albums, became a best-seller.
This latest tour announcement for Solís comes on the heels of a legendary nine show stadium tour with Los Bukis. Their Una Historia Cantada across the US celebrated the group’s reunion after 25 years where over 480,000 fans saw them live for the historic limited engagement shows.

[From all Music.com-Mark Deming] Pianist and singer/songwriter Marcia Ball is a living example of how East Texas blues meets Southwest Louisiana swamp rock. Ball was born March 20, 1949, in Orange, Texas, but grew up across the border in Vinton, Louisiana. That town is squarely in the heart of "the Texas Triangle," an area that includes portions of both states and has produced some of the country's greatest blues talents, including Janis Joplin, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Queen Ida Guillory, Lonnie Brooks, Zachary Richard, and Clifton Chenier, to name a few. Ball's earliest awareness of blues came over the radio, where she heard people like Irma Thomas, Professor Longhair, and Etta James, all of whom she credits as influences. She began playing piano at age five, learning from her grandmother and aunt while also taking formal lessons from a teacher.

Ball entered Louisiana State University in the late '60s as an English major; in college, she played in the psychedelic rock & roll band Gum. In 1970, Ball and her first husband were headed west in their car to San Francisco, but the car needed repairs in Austin, Texas, where they had stopped off to visit one of their former bandmates. After experiencing some of the music, sights, and food in Austin, the two decided to stay. Ball has been based in Austin ever since. Ball landed a record deal with Capitol Records, who issued the country-leaning Circuit Queen in 1971. The album made little commercial impact, and she soon joined Freda & the Firedogs, an outlaw country group who cut an album for Atlantic in 1972 (produced by Jerry Wexler) that went unreleased until 2002 due to contractual problems. She continued to work with the band, who issued a live album in 1979, while playing solo gigs in which she honed her signature piano style, mixing equal parts boogie-woogie with zydeco and Louisiana swamp rock.
In time, Ball landed a deal with Rounder Records, who released her second solo album, Soulful Dress, in 1983.
