Dogwood

Friday, November 4 - 'The Nebula Project' 7:30 p.m. Black Box.
2022-11-04 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Detroit) | Dogwood Center for Performing Arts, 4734 S. Campus Court, Fremont, MI, 49412, United States
Ben Rosenblum’s “The Nebula Project” dives deeply into Rosenblum’s jazz and world-infused original compositions, exploring the intersection of jazz and improvised American music with global styles ranging from Bulgaria to the Caribbean. The all-star sextet of musicians includes unusual and unique instrumentation opportunities – Rosenblum’s switches between piano and accordion, and the horn player doubles on sax and bass clarinet, leading to a wide variety of possibilities.
Ben is based primarily in New York City and is a graduate of the Columbia-Juilliard program. His original music combines his extensive knowledge of the history of jazz with a free-wheeling, modern melodic sensibility, and powerful narrative approach to the piano. His profound passion for jazz, swing and world music genres finds expression in his unique fusion of harmonic and rhythmic elements from a wide array of sources and gives rise to a signature compositional sound and style at once iconoclastic and deeply rooted in such figures as Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly. Ben’s priority in his composition and in his playing is to tell a compelling story with his music, while reaching the hearts of his audience, connecting on an emotional, an intellectual and a spiritual level.
In 2020, the Nebula Project was voted runner-up for Best New Artist in JazzTimes’ Readers’ Poll. Rosenblum has shared the stage with many highly acclaimed jazz musicians, including extensive work with Curtis Lundy, Winard Harper, Deborah Davis and Chris Washburne, and many others.

2022-10-13 19:30 - 21:30 | Dogwood Center for Performing Arts, 4734 S. Campus Court, Fremont, MI, 49412, United States
Over sixty years since the public first embraced the successful Miller Sound, both the legend and the music live on. The World-Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra is the most sought after big band in the world today for both concert and dance engagements. Still considered the greatest band of all time, its unique sound is loved by almost anybody that cares for dance music.
The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all the dance bandleaders back in the Swing era of the 1930’s and 40’s. But, in 1944 while leading the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band, Miller died while traveling to entertain the troops in Europe. The Miller estate formed the present Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1956 following strong popular demand. The band has been touring consistently since, playing an average of 300 live dates a year around the globe to millions of fans.
The 16-member band continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements that keep exciting fans who have not heard them played for a while. Additionally, they are also playing more modern selections in the big-band style, carefully selecting only those newer tunes that lead themselves naturally to the Miller style and sound.
Come out and hear the music you love from the best band around! Moonlight Serenade, I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo, Chattanooga Choo-Choo, A String of Pearls …. all the great tunes of the Swing era!
Music director and tenor saxophonist, Erik Stabnau, brings his lifelong enthusiasm for big band music to each performance of the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Having grown up with a love for the music of the swing era, Erik naturally gravitated toward Glenn Miller, drawn to his recognizable melodies and the distinctive sound of his reed section. A Western New York native, Erik learned to play the saxophone, flute, and clarinet in a variety of disciplines before developing an interest in the large ensembles of Ellington, Basie, Dorsey, Miller and others. Excited to pursue a future in music, he attended college at the Eastman School of Music in his hometown of Rochester, earning a bachelor’s of music in Jazz and Contemporary Media. Intent on broadening his education, Erik went on to study music business and recording with a masters degree in Audio Arts from Syracuse University.
Prior to his time with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Erik performed and recorded as a bandleader and sideman throughout the Northeast, adding to his credentials experience as an educator, clinician, writer, and arranger. He was thrilled with the opportunity to join the orchestra in June 2017 on tenor saxophone, playing the music and solos that Tex Beneke first made famous in the 1930’s and 40’s. As a member of the band, Erik has performed across the US in 48 states and abroad in Canada and Japan and now is honored to step in front of the orchestra as its music director.

Coming back again is Sweet Tea Trio! This is an all female harmony group hailing from the deep south. They’ve opened up for legendary acts of all genres including Bon Jovi and Alabama. The three are signed with Vector Management & Lost Highway Touring; and are managed by singer-songwriter, rapper and producer, Kid Rock. All meeting through a mutual vocal coach in Alabama: Kate Falcon, from Southside, Victoria Camp, from Tuscaloosa, & Charity Bowden from Hope Hull are the three ladies who make up Sweet Tea Trio. Together, their music has no limit. Each growing up with different influences, listening to bands like
Journey and classic country legends like Loretta Lynn, the three keep their lyrics honest and their music full of roots and authenticity. They are currently recording a studio album, produced by Kid Rock and are continuing to write for future projects. Performing all over the country in venues like arenas, theaters, and outdoor music festivals, the three have a love and passion for traveling together and meeting their fans. Kate, Victoria, and Charity take great pride in writing their own music and connecting with fans through their lyrics. Together, the three encompass what it means to be classy southern women with a love for what they do. Sweet Tea Trio is bringing a new “old school country with a rhinestone flair” to Nashville. Robert Ritchie/Kid Rock explains, “These young ladies are some of the most talented, kind hearted and hard working singers and players I have ever met. At their young ages they are already becoming fast scholars of the road and writing songs. In my opinion they pick up where the Dixie Chicks and Pistol Annies meet. They are 100% country and I look forward to sharing my 30 years in this business to get them an honest shot at the big time.“

2022-08-06 19:30 - 21:30 | Dogwood Center for Performing Arts, 4734 S. Campus Court, Fremont, MI, 49412, United States
Michigan native, Jake Allen crafts a kaleidoscopic sound that plunges the curious listener into a world of endless sonic possibilities, incorporating prog-pop, waves of ambient instrumentals, and complex musical layers. Allen showcases the guitar, harnessing every nuance of the instrument and transforming it into an ethereal, shape-shifting creature that bends both notes and time.
Allen explores numerous musical styles with his guitar wizardry, ranging from lullaby-like dreams to burgeoning anthems. A documentarian of sorts, Allen’s immersive storytelling and emotional vocal performance offer a multi-timbral journey through time and space. The constant groove of driving drums, bewitching guitar hooks, and the whisper of a longing voice spark wonder, evoking similarities to pop music’s golden ‘90s era. His fourth album, “Affirmation Day” provides a snapshot of shifting perspectives and personal growth through the means of signature fingerpicking, percussive guitar tapping, and lush musical arrangements.
As a solo artist, Allen utilizes impeccably timed live looping to create a captivating one-man show. Steeped in years of live performance and well-versed in an array of instruments, Allen’s dexterity is only amplified when he wields a single guitar. In an almost hypnotic display, he explores every inch of the instrument with unwavering confidence and creativity. Strings dance as they are plucked awake from their resting tension; percussive rhythms echo; harmonics ring brightly; and intricate chords emerge from each warm strum.

Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s new book embraces story theater and features verbatim passages from Hugo’s gothic novel.
The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be “Out There,” observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.
A sweeping score and powerful story make The Hunchback of Notre Dame an instant classic. Audiences will be swept away by the magic of this truly unforgettable musical.

Four legendary Newaygo County denizens have been creating wonderment on Croton Pond: “Where is that Bossa Nova coming from?” It’s Swingtooth Quartet, a happy extension of Swingtooth, the well-known local guitar duo, Lee and David Middleman. The Swingtooth Duo was born with the creation of the hand-built instruments now known as the Swingtooth Guitars, featured in the West Michigan Luthier concerts. David and Lee each built their own unique guitar: different, but from the same tree, a North American Cherry. The natural built-in harmony of these instruments is part of this duo’s palpable relationship mystique.
As Swingtooth Quartet, they are joined by Chris Cudworth on bass, and Pat Eickenroth on percussion, both sought after participants in several eclectic groups across Michigan. The synergy among the four is part of their own enjoyment in crafting new ways to express their favorite timeless material of early swing, bebop, sultry ballads and lively bossa nova.

2022-05-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Dogwood Center for Performing Arts, 4734 S. Campus Court, Fremont, MI, 49412, United States
Country band, Thompson Square’s list of accolades include #1 hits like “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not” and “If I Didn’t Have You,” multi-platinum international success, and honors as Vocal Duo of the Year from both the ACM and CMA Awards, just to name a few.
For the husband-and-wife team of Keifer and Shawna Thompson, the next chapter of their career is about something different. Working independently for the first time, their new album, Masterpiece arrives at a tipping-point moment for the duo and it finds them taking skillful control of their acclaimed musical bond. What emerged truly is their Masterpiece, an album filled with all the passionate potency Thompson Square is known for, plus a fearless new range of sounds and personality. Pristine country balladry is joined by sandy reggae funk, fire breathing arena rock and sensual R&B, as the duo strives to be honest with each song’s creative genesis.
As new parents and a newly independent duo, Thompson Square have undoubtedly stepped into the next chapter of their Country-music fairytale … one which Masterpiece documents in unedited clarity. They’ve scored the hits and won the awards and they’d be happy to do it all again, but for the first time in their career, there’s nothing holding their creativity back. Luckily, they’ve never been more ready to share it with fans.

April 22 - Harborcoat - 7:30 p.m.
2022-04-22 19:30 - 21:00 | Dogwood Center for Performing Arts, 4734 S. Campus Court, Fremont, MI, 49412, United States
The solo-esque project began as a songwriting outlet in 2016 for output that didn’t fit with other projects. The vision was initially a bedroom artistic venture, but a dear friend suggested Matthew Carlson make a real record, and Harborcoat became a functioning band that plays shows and records with an ever-evolving cast of musicians. The phrase “Joy Is Elusive”, and the name of their latest album, appeared in Carlson’s head one day, and the singer/songwriter/guitarist wrote it in black Sharpie on a piece of paper and tacked it to the wall above his studio computer. Originating from Grand Ledge, Michigan, Harborcoat is a rousing dose of English pop-rock that recalls the Smiths, 1980s new wave, and the 1990s Brit-pop invasion.

March 19 - The Barley Saints - 7:30 p.m.

The Barley Saints were founded in West Michigan, in 2017, by Ray Veen, and Scott Sheldon. Originally called “Knotwork”, the band coalesced around the rough idea of playing up-tempo Irish tunes for pubs and parties. Several musicians tried out and played with the band in their early days, but it became quite a challenge to find the right combination of personalities, folks with similar values, musical interests, and skill-levels – not to mention basic availability. For this reason, the early lineup of the band went through several transitions. A few shows were played during that time, but because they hadn’t settled on their final roster, there was never a sense of being able to get the band off the ground floor.
All of that changed when the band’s good friend Dan Seabolt (of the Oat-bran Boys) suggested they contact one of his former fiddle students, Hannah Kroll. After joining the guys at one practice, the entire mood and energy of the band changed. Hannah brought a fresh perspective, a youthful exuberance, and a MIND-BLOWING amount of pure, unadulterated talent. Most importantly, Hannah came to the band with a real sense of commitment, connection, and direction… qualities that the earlier members of the band had spent nearly a year searching for. With a renewed sense of hope and energy, the band re-invented themselves as The Barley Saints, and begin booking shows in earnest.
The Barley Saints are a five-piece Celtic rock band from the Muskegon area of West Michigan. They specialize in a mix of Irish pub tunes, up-tempo Irish folk songs, and fast-paced traditional dance tunes, supported by driving rock beats. With their lineup finally complete, solid, and committed, The Barley Saints started booking more and more shows, more often, in new and more exciting venues. They also began writing some original music, and at this time, are discussing their next, most momentous, and exciting step yet… recording their first album.

This magician and illusionist’s interest in magic began at age five, when a kindergarten classmate performed a magic trick for show and tell. The classmate made a ball disappear and reappear. This feat of magic left an impression on Bill that would not be forgotten. He started requesting magic sets for Christmas and birthdays as he grew up. He would attend Norm Clothier’s Magic Camp, check out magic books at the library, and put together shows for the neighborhood kids. Throughout junior high and high school Bill would win talent shows with his magic act. Baffling Bill helped pay his way through five years of college performing shows and working at magic shops. After college he fell in love with and married Diane who encouraged Bill to go into magic as a full-time career. In 1987 they established their magic company, “Absolutely Baffling Magic by William and Di.” Card tricks, illusions, rabbits, and puzzling magic! Things will disappear and re-appear later in the show when you least expect it! Be ready to giggle, laugh, and then wonder… “How did he do that???” A special appearance by Gus the Bunny.
