BeauSoleil’s distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleans jazz, blues rock, folk, swamp pop, Zydeco, country and bluegrass, captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans, to Carnegie Hall, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson’s Meltdown Festival in England. www.tupelomusichall.com or (603)437-5100

JEREMY JORDAN & AGE OF MADNESS / Bank of NH Stage (Concord) / 7:00pm – DIRECT/x
Age of Madness was created by Broadway icon Jeremy Jordan and his friend Mikael. The band consists of three members; Jeremy Jordan (vocals), Mikael (guitar), and Sarah Charness (violin) who released their first single ‘My First Enemy’ in April of 2022. The band’s rock and roll music is a big genre shift for Jeremy who is a well-known Broadway performer, most notably known for his lead role in the Tony award-winning Broadway show ‘Newsies’. Jeremy has made it clear that this project as a whole would be separate from his musical theatre identity. Although many fans of the band may have been introduced to the new music through Jeremy, Age of Madness is its own entity and represents a new chapter in the singer’s career. www.ccanh.com or (603)225-1111

DAVID NAIL / Tupelo Music Hall (Derry) / 7:00pm– DIRECT/x
Hailing from Kennett, Missouri, David Nail is well-respected up and down Music Row. The GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases, I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound Of A Million Dreams, I’m A Fire and Fighter, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. Through dealing with his own journey of mental illness and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be,” Nail began making his most “organic” work to date, David Nail & The Well Ravens, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh, Mother, a reflective piece of work. That release was followed by Bootheel 2020, a project dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail plans on releasing more music throughout 2021, leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words, “My philosophy has always been, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.” Find more at www.davidnail.com. www.tupelomusichall.com or (603)437-5100
JIM MESSINA / Center for the Arts (Nashua) / 7:00pm – DIRECT/x
An undisputed expert in the fine art of making hit music, JIM MESSINA’s legacy of musical genius spans five decades, three super groups, a vibrant solo career and scores of producing and engineering credits. “Your Mama Don’t Dance,” “Angry Eyes,” “Danny’s Song,” “House of Pooh Corner,” and “You Better Think Twice” are just a few songs of Jim Messina’s vast musical hits. In November 1970, the Columbia asked Jim to work with an unknown Kenny Loggins. Loggins & Messina released eight hit albums, had scores of hit songs and sold over 16 million albums. They had become one of rock’s most successful recording duos ever, but it was time for the duo to go their separate ways. Since then, Jim has been releasing critically acclaimed solo albums and playing to audiences across the country. Recently, with his new band, The Road Runners, Jim released his latest live album Here, There & Everywhere. Touring the country and playing sold-out shows, Jim says that he’s enjoying discovering who he is, where he’s been and, most significantly, where he’s going. www.nashuacenterforthearts.com or (800)657-8774
