Jazz pianist Judy Carmichael will perform at the Cortland Repertory Theatre May 7, and bring the “Swing” to Spring. “Swing Time” will be a celebratory night of swing era music, along with the Great American Songbook.
Swing
Carmichael, also known as “Stride”, is a grammy nominated pianist/vocalist who is proficient at playing stride and swing music. She has endless performances, from popular venues, to private recitals, to appearances on the radio or television.
Her impact on music is not only within the states, but around the world. In fact, under the United States Information Agency, Carmichael has toured in India, Portugal, Brazil and Singapore. Furthermore, her talents have spread from the most exquisite venues like Carnegie Hall to Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice. However, music is not Carmichael’s only strong suit; she has also performed comic skits.
Carmichael has a great understanding and knowledge of jazz, which is the root of her music. She values it so proudly, and has studied jazz from the beginning of its era to this very day. Carmichael adds a “fresh, dynamic interpretation of her own”, according to Washington Post.
Her hard work does not go unrecognized, considering Carmichael is one of the few jazz pianists honored as a Steinway Artist. Additionally, she participated as a panelist at National Endowment for the Arts and was included in a number of jazz anthologies. Carmichael is also listed in Who’s Who in the East, Who’s Who in Finance and Industry in America, Who’s Who in American Woman, American Women in Jazz, Who’s Who in the World, as well as the Encyclopedia of Jazz.
The Cortland Repertory Theatre administration has announced that vaccination cards are not required for attendance and although face masks are encouraged, it is not mandatory for this event. However, either of these policies may be subject to change, in accordance with the CDC.
This one night event will be located at 24 Port Watson Street, in Cortland. Tickets are $30.00 and are currently available.
The remarkable and country superstar, Luke Combs, is ready for his Middle of Somewhere tour, which will kick off in September and make a stop in Albany at MVP Arena.
This upcoming tour is not the only thing in store for Combs this year. In fact, he will soon release his third studio album, Growin’ Up, while his latest song “Tomorrow Me,” recently dropped and has already received great recognition from Billboard. His top 5 single at country radio “Doin’ This,” along with 11 other songs will be featured on his long awaited album. Although, Combs has faced challenges throughout the process of this album, it is almost here.
I’ve been working on this album on and off for two and a half years now. It was sort of a crazy process through what COVID brought, and what that meant for our touring life last year. It made me have to put a pause on this album for a second, but I’m just really stoked that it’s finally coming out. Working with Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton as a producer has been really great and I think that the fans are going to love these songs. I’m just excited to get them out and see what they think.
Luke Combs
Combs has been known to excel in the music industry, considering he went 3x Platinum with his second album What You See is What You Get and 4x Platinum with his debut, This One’s For You.
I know that the price of everything has been going up these last couple years and there’s nothing I can do about that, but the one thing I could do is set the price of my tickets. So, what I wanted to do was keep the ticket prices the same as they were before the pandemic. I really really hope you guys will come out and check us out. Can’t wait to see you on the road!
Luke Combs
Special guests featured on the tour include Jordan Davis, Mitchell Tenpenny, Morgan Wade and Lainey Wilson. Tickets will be available for presale on May 4 at 4:00pm local time through Ticketmaster Verified Fan, while general tickets will be released on May 6 at 10:00am local time.

Legendary band of 45 years, The B-52s, have announced their farewell tour, beginning this August. Within their 11 city tour, the group will stop in New York at the Beacon Theatre, on October 13 and 14.
Considering the group has over 20 million albums, there is no doubt their tour will be a success. The B-52s have been one of the most monumental pop groups since the 70s and continue to make such a heavy influence on the music industry. This tour will conclude in Atlanta at the Fox Theatre.
However, a tour is not the only thing in store for The B-52s. In fact, their long awaited documentary, directed by Craig Johnson, and executively produced by Fred Armisen, will air in 2023. This film will discuss their musical journey as a group and share never before seen footage, as well as highlight the impact they still have on music.
No one likes to throw a party more than we do, but after almost a half-century on the road, it’s time for one last blow-out with our friends and family…our fans. And with KC & The Sunshine Band and The Tubes on board, it’s going to be one hell of a farewell party at these concerts.
Hip Hop Legends Wu-Tang Clan and Nas have released the dates for their upcoming 25 city summer tour. Beginning in August, the five-week trek will see Nas and the Clan make their way to the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Tuesday, September 13.
Wu-Tang Clan are recognized as one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time since their breakout debut,36 Chambers, in 1993. They have set numerous trends and have had a significant impact on the rap game and have provided us with some of the rap game’s greatest personalities.
Despite having nine distinct characters, the group seamlessly merges under the musical guidance of RZA. While all skilled rappers, his vision for the group both sonically and stylistically has created an everlasting movement. The group became famous for sampling martial arts films, RZA kept a heavy Motown and oldies influence throughout the Clan’s music, and sampling the likes of Syl Johnson, Aretha Franklin, among others.
Unlike many groups that have phased out of the limelight, the Clan remain relevant, regardless of time. While the group has always taken regular breaks, they have still managed to churn out three platinum albums and more than 85 full-length releases. They were also one of the first acts to diversify their brand, with Wu Wear becoming a popular hip hop brand.
Never the slouch, Nas had his big break after the release of his 1992 song “Halftime“, from the Zebrahead movie soundtrack. He released his classic debut, Illamatic, in 1994 with Colombia Records. With gritty and thought provoking rhymes alike, Nas is certified as one of the best rappers of all-time.
After winning his first Grammy-award for his 2020 album, King’s Disease, Nas was again nominated for “King’s Disease II,” a testament to his longevity.
With the substantial amount of influence both parties have had over decades within the hip hop community and worldwide, the tour is sure to be highly successful.
For all fans, tickets will be available for purchase on Tuesday, April 26 at 10 A.M.

Northwell Health’s “Side By Side: A Celebration of Service” is making its return to the UBS Arena with a special benefit concert from John Legend, along with a special appearance from Jason Derulo. This two-day festival starts on Sunday, May 29.
This event will begin with a block party in Flatiron Plaza on May 28, hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, with appearances from Questlove, Stars of Broadway, the Northwell Health Nurse Choir, and more.
As a part of Memorial Day Weekend and New York’s Fleet Week, the first day of the festival includes active military members, veterans, and their families who will get the chance to mingle with the public for a day of games, food, music and more. Subsequently, day two will solely honor the nation’s active-duty military, veterans and their families with Legend’s hit songs.
Memorial Day weekend is a dedicated time every year to reflect on the sacrifices so many Americans have made in our country’s history. We should never take for granted the freedoms we enjoy in this country or forget our heroes in the armed forces who will stop at nothing to protect those freedoms. We are honored to host ‘Side by Side: A Celebration of Service’ for those very reasons – to honor our service members.
Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell
Northwell Health’s “Side By Side: A Celebration of Service” first launched in 2019 and has had a great turnout ever since. In fact, this festival has raised more than $2 million for Northwell Health’s Military Liaison Services, an organization that focuses on benefiting those who have served and are struggling with post traumatic stress disorder, with medical and behavioral services, as well as better employment opportunities.
Tickets for the concert event will be accessible on Friday, April 15 at 10 A.M. For more information visit Side By Side NYC.
The National Independent Venue Association, NIVA is preparing for their first ever conference and awards formal called “Niva ’22”, on July 11 and 12 in Cleveland.
Since COVID-19, this organization’s mission has been to save the independent live concert, comedy, promoter and festival industry from running out of business. This upcoming event will focus on the future of these fields, as well as interest groups who benefited from NIVA.
More specifically, this non profit will provide two days of in-person programming, education, networking, entertainment, and more for the attendees. The Independent Awards Formal, a black-tie gala on Monday, July 11, from 6:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M., will be held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
We started NIVA to help independent venues and promoters survive the pandemic. Together we fought for and won the passage of the Save Our Stages Act, which resulted in a historic $16 billion emergency relief grant program. Though the impetus was a crisis response, we’ve planned from the very beginning to continue growing NIVA into a full-service trade organization that serves its membership today and in the future. Our mantra from the start was ‘First we survive, then we thrive.’ We’re excited to bring the live industry together in a new way that is truly impactful while highlighting the importance of connectivity. Our goal is to create positive momentum within the touring and live industry, altering the course beyond the pandemic and providing the necessary tools for our members to succeed while returning to in-person events and entertainment.
NIVA Co-Founder and Executive Director, Rev. Moose
During the conference, NIVA will shed light on new technologies. Additionally, there will be numerous panels with industry professionals, specialized educational sessions, brand activations, and networking opportunities provided. The topics the non-profit will focus on are safety, inclusion, diversity, equality, accessibility, booking, ticketing, and marketing.
The events will take place in multiple NIVA-member venues in Cleveland. Early bird registration is now accessible until May 26, while conference programming and speakers will be announced soon.
