Details: Umphrey's McGee, Joshua Redman, The Revivalist

Joshua Redman is an American jazz saxophonist and composer. In 1991, he won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition. Redman was born in Berkeley, California, to jazz saxophonist Dewey Redman and dancer and librarian Renee Shedroff. He was exposed to many kinds of music at the Center for World Music in Berkeley, where his mother studied South Indian dance. Some of his earliest lessons in music and improvisation were on recorder with gamelan player Jody Diamond. He was exposed at an early age to a variety of music and instruments and began playing clarinet at age nine before switching to what became his primary instrument, the tenor saxophone, one year later. Redman cites John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Cannonball Adderley, his father Dewey Redman, as well as the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, the Police and Led Zeppelin as musical influences.

Umphrey’s McGee is a band that continues to test its limits with shows at larger venues and innovations in their progressive music. The Indiana-originated six piece takes their tight prog-rock and builds energy that eventually explodes before the eyes of their dedicated fans. Many of these die-hards have seen the band go from tiny clubs to somewhere as large as the Beacon Theatre in NYC. After two years of getting their feet wet, the 2124 Broadway venue was the host of yet another installment of ‘Umphlove’ for two nights before heading to Long Island and The Paramount in Huntington.

The Revivalists are an American rock/soul band formed in New Orleans in 2007. The 7-piece band consists of Ed Williams, David Shaw, Zack Feinberg, Rob Ingraham, George Gekas, Andrew Campanelli, and Michael Girardot. The group's freshly interesting sound is best described by David Fricke of Rolling Stone as "a Crescent City".
