Originally meeting at an open mic in Concord, NH, the members of JD and the Stonemasons quickly formed a strong musical bond – powered by their love of traditional music. With members influenced by genres spanning bluegrass, rock, Celtic, and beyond – each member brings a hearty passion to the table that culminates in rootsy and riveting sound. www.ccanh.com or (603)225-1111 – Limited Tickets Available

For over 35 years, alt-rock icons Better Than Ezra have maintained a direct line to the unbridled joy of making music, endlessly dreaming up songs with an uncanny power to linger forever in the listener’s heart. Since the arrival of their breakthrough album Deluxe—a platinum-selling LP featuring their era-defining smash hit “Good”—the New Orleans-bred band’s bittersweet but quick-witted songwriting and supremely catchy sound have led to triumphs like landing on Billboard’s “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” and “100 Greatest Alternative Songs of All Time” lists, building an adoring following who call themselves Ezralites, and achieving major pop-culture milestones like getting name-checked in a classic skit on Saturday Night Live. Thanks to the massive success of the multi-platinum “Good” (a #1 hit on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart), the band became an MTV staple and soon deepened their catalog with timeless hits like “Desperately Wanting” (from 1996’s Friction, Baby). www.nashuacenterforthearts.com or (800)657-8774
