The Furious Bongos are a Frank Zappa tribute band and incredibly maintain this level of excellence, a nine-piece combo of remarkable ability. The Furious Bongos are a dynamic and precise ensemble playing with an outstanding bravura, multi-faceted vocal delivery upfront. Band members from The Furious Bongos have played with artists including BB King, Mick Fleetwood, Vinnie Colaiuta, Googoosh, Dweezil Zappa, LA Philharmonic, Arthur Barrow, Munich Philharmonic, Bryan Beller, Popa Chubby, Yo Yo Ma, Limelight: A Tribute To Rush, Pinetop Perkins, Chicago Lyric Opera, Madison Opera & more. The group describes this venture as “not a strictly tribute project,” but more of a unique band you won’t find anywhere else. The result of their approach is a show that pays respect to Zappa’s legacy, but is also new, different, dangerous and fun, with lots of eyebrows. Kinda like Frank.

Kandace’s dreamy, hypnotic and richly emotional voice is full of unique runs, fluttering notes and sonic surprises. Kandace has worked alongside many including Christian McBride, David Sanborn, Roy Hargrove, Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, Joshua Redman & Norah Jones.

After a wait of almost three years, Kandace Springs’ legion of worldwide fans finally have a new album to look forward to. Run Your Race, her tribute to her late father, legendary Nashville soul singer Scat Spring, is the first album of hers to feature almost all original songs, written by Kandace both solo and with some stellar collaborators, such as Gregg Wells (Adele), Matt Hales (Liane La Havas), and her long-time partners Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken (Rihanna). The title song, penned by Kandace, is the most heartfelt of her career, and which she says is “absolutely the most personal record I’ve ever made, or ever will make.”

Come see a night of musical opposites attracting. This celebrates the power of contrast—between light and darkness, visible and invisible worlds, and the wildly different temperaments that make us human. From a Mexican composer’s spiritual journey through indigenous traditions to Beethoven’s dramatic battle between despair and triumph, to Nielsen’s literal exploration of human personality types, these works remind us that music thrives on tension, transformation, and the space between extremes.
