SUMMARY:Saturday\, January 13 - John McEuen & The Circle Band 7:30 p.m. Main Stage
DESCRIPTION:John McEuen {Co-Founder of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band} The Life I’ve Picked \nAn Evening with John McEuen and The Circle Band: \nJohn takes the audience on his trip with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band\, one that led to the incredible multi-platinum Will the Circle be Unbroken album which he initiated in 1972. John captured the band over the years on 8mm film\, and with his brother’s (William E. McEuen\, manager/producer) video and stills\, we see the unseen backstory of this iconic musician\, album\, and band. Exactly what did happen at the magic sessions that created the landmark Will the Circle Be Unbroken album? Possibly the most popular and famous Americana/Blue Grass album ever recorded\, and how John started it in Colorado\, is told with the music and video on stage. “These previously unseen shots\, on a huge screen\, are incredible. It’s like being there!” John says\, “We play songs that relate to what is on the screen”. \nJoined by another NGDB co-founder and “Circle” veteran (bass\, mandolin) Les Thompson\, John brings his guitar\, banjo\, fiddle\, and mandolin along with their favorite Dirt Band and Circle songs to the audience. With them will be Danny Knicely (guitar\, mandolin and great vocals) bringing his incredible mastery to this show\, singing some of the songs with his Virginia voice. And\, Bryan McDowell\, also a ‘Winfield winner’\, with his vocals\, guitar and mandolin. John tells the stories behind the songs\, collaborating with such notables as Johnny Cash\, Willie Nelson\, Maybelle Carter\, Bob Dylan\, and life-long friend Steve Martin. \nFor Fremont’s Dogwood Performing Arts Center John has invited The Stranded Hoboes to do a cameo performance and join in a few ‘Circle’ songs. This bluegrass group (made up with Wounded Warriors)\, and will also play “Bluegrass Banjo Boy” with John\, a tune he recorded with them last year. \nMcEuen’s renown countless jams include street performers to Phish\, Earl Scruggs\, Levon Helm\, Leon Russell… and even Sesame Street with a herd of goats and a cow! Arguably\, McEuen’s most important legacy may be his initiation of what Rolling Stone called “The most important record to come out of Nashville” and 2004 ZAGAT survey called “the most important record in country music” – Will the Circle Be Unbroken \n………………………… \nA co-founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (1966)\, John McEuen has continually performed since 1963 – 11\,500 concerts and 300 television shows throughout more than 4 million miles – both with the band and as a solo performer. He has been honored solo by the Folk Alliance Organization Best in the West Award. Beyond performing\, John has a rich history of creating\, producing and preserving original and traditional folk and acoustic music… and\, taking it to new audiences. \nMcEuen has made over 40 albums (6 solo) that have earned five platinum and five gold recognition awards\, multiple Grammy Awards and nominations\, CMA and ACM awards\, Emmy nominations\, IBMA record of the year award\, and performed on another 25 albums as guest artist. He’s also produced more than 300 concerts – the first in 1965 in Long Beach Calif.\, with Bob Dylan. \nJohn’s production of Steve Martin – The Crow won the 2010 Best Bluegrass Album Grammy. The Music of the Wild West CD- produced by McEuen\, was honored with the Western Heritage Award. A Grammy nomination for String Wizards II preceded the Uncle Dave Macon Award – for excellence in preservation and performance of historic music; John’s popular Sirius/XM Acoustic Traveller show\, now in its 17th year on The Bridge.

DESCRIPTION:Dan Tepfer\nFROM BACH TO NATURAL MACHINES: ALGORITHMS AS THE SHAPERS OF MUSIC\nDan Tepfer is a pianist-composer. He has recorded and performed around the world and composed for various ensembles.

Additionally\, his musical prowess is recognized across the world. His piano quintet\, Solar Spiral\, was premiered in 2016 at Chicago’s Ravinia Festival\, with Tepfer performing alongside the Avalon String Quartet. Tepfer has received commissions from the Prague Castle Guard Orchestra for his suite Algorithmic Transform and concerto The View from Orohena (2010). In the summer of 2019\, Tepfer unveiled his jazz-trio arrangement of Stravinsky’s Baroque-channeling Pulcinella.  \nThis lecture will be broadcast live at the Dogwood Center from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Admission is free. \nFor more information on the Calvin University January Series click here. \nThe Dogwood Center\, a remote site for the Calvin University January Series\, is supported in part by the Fremont Area Community Foundation.

SUMMARY:Saturday\, January 20 - Djangophonique 7:30 p.m. Black Box

Led by guitar player Andrew Brown\, a true disciple of the style\, the project has cultivated a community of musicians who channel the tenacious agility that the music demands.

In 2023 guitarist Nicholas Martin joined the ensemble on rhythm guitar and the group began a new chapter with the addition of vocalist Katie Smith\, who’s soulful approach channels the mystery and appeal of an unplaceable era. With a second studio album and a full concert schedule in the works for 2024\, Djangophonique is poised to forge a connection with an expansive audience through the resonance of their artistry.  \nClick here for tickets.

They eventually escaped when Caldwell pushed their remaining captor off a cliff and ran 10 miles to a military outpost to find help. \nA year after his hostage epic\, Caldwell cut off his index finger with a table saw doing home renovations. With resolve\, he moved forward with the ethos of no excuses and proceeded to establish the Dawn Wall and climb the 3\,000-foot Nose route on Yosemite’s El Capitan in less than two hours. \nToday\, Caldwell climbs as much as possible and works as an advocate and industry representative to preserve natural spaces and lobby for climate initiatives. \nThis lecture will be broadcast live at the Dogwood Center from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Admission is free. \nFor more information on the Calvin University January Series click here. \nThe Dogwood Center\, a remote site for the Calvin University January Series\, is supported in part by the Fremont Area Community Foundation.

SUMMARY:Tuesday\, March 12 - Great Decisions - NEELA BANERJEE 6:00 P.M.
DESCRIPTION:   Climate Technology and the Roadmap for the Climate Crisis\nNeela Banerjee\, Deputy Senior Supervising Climate Editor\, NPR. \nWhile climate technology will play a central role in limiting and addressing climate change\, we still don’t have a comprehensive global framework that will provide a roadmap to achieving net zero. Geopolitical rivalries\, political inertia\, and policy disagreements threaten to slow down a process that needs to rapidly advance\, especially as countries least responsible for the climate crisis become impacted the most. Neela Banerjee\, the Deputy Senior Supervising Climate Editor for NPR will discuss how we might challenge our current understanding of the climate crisis and suggest ways citizens might respond. \nThis lecture will be broadcast live at the Dogwood Center from 6:00 – 7:15 p.m. in our Black Box. Admission is free!
