Grammy-Winning Artists BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet will celebrate a half century of cajun music as they bring the bayou to Saratoga Springs’ Universal Preservation Hall on Thursday, April 18.
BeauSoleil is known to bring audiences to their feet, being born from the rich Acadian ancestry of members, created and driven by bandleader Michael Doucet’s spellbinding fiddle playing and soulful vocals, offering inspiring two-stepping, waltzing, and standing ovations wherever they go.
BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet can be credited with taking Cajun music from its regional roots in Louisiana to popularity worldwide. Their most recent album, and the 25th in their 45-year career, was titled From Bamako to Carencro, alluding to the cultural and migratory connection between Bamako, in Mali, West Africa, and Louisiana (symbolized in name by the Lafayette, LA suburb of Carencro), a connection that draws a sonic bloodline back to BeauSoleil’s roots.
Since becoming the first Cajun band to win a Grammy with L’amour Ou La Folie (their Traditional Folk Album–1998) and then a second Grammy in 2010, “Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival,” BeauSoleil has garnered many accolades, including 12 Grammy nominations.
Universal Preservation Hall hosts the multiple Grammy Award-winning group’s 50th anniversary tour 7:30 p.m. in the Great Hall Thursday, April 18 as part of the Passport Series-Music Haven at Proctors Collaborative.
Local Saratoga-based southern restaurant Hatties will serve free jambalaya samples alongside the bar in UPH’s lobby directly before the show for ticket holders.
Tickets are available through the Box Office at Proctors in-person, via phone at (518) 346-6204 Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m. or online visit atuph.org.

Part of the Popular Artist Series, Anastasio will perform with the Boston Pops – conducted by Edwin Outwater – at the Koussevitzky Music Shed, in Lenox, MA on Saturday, June 29, at 7pm.
Anastasio had been set to perform with the Boston Pops in 2020, but the event was one of the many live music performances canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Performing along with a string section, a Rescue Squad or a philharmonic, Anastasio has taken his orchestration talents to a wider audience, melding compositions for rock and guitar along with an orchestra. Since 2000, Anastasio has performed with string groups, and the Tanglewood show is his second of this summer, having announced a July date with the National Symphony Orchestra in Vienna, VA.

O+ will feature Grammy award-winning American Roots musician Allison Russell with her band at its upcoming “O+ 365” benefit concert on May 24th at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, NY.

Allison Russell, recognized for her soulful vocals, vulnerable lyrics, creative instrumental arrangements, and activism, is an eight-time Grammy nominee with a 2024 Grammy Award win for Best American Roots Performance for her single “Eva Was Black.” Since going solo in 2021, the recognition of her unique style and power has garnered an array of accolades, including the 2022 Americana Music Association’s Album of the Year Award for “Outside Child,” Canadian and International Folk Music Awards, UK Americana Awards, and Juno Awards.

The O+ 365 benefit supports the organization’s efforts to address the extraordinary need for ongoing health care access for artists, many of whom are un/under-insured and don’t have consistent access to care. Last year O+ made a transformative shift: the organization moved from providing 3-days of exchange-based health and wellness services to artists who contributed to its annual festival to now providing 365-days of care for all O+ festival alumni. In addition, the Clinic secured its operating license from the State of New York.
“The shift from 3 to 365 days of care accelerates health care access for more than 6,000 O+ alumni,” said O+ Wellness Director and Primary Care Physician Dr. Lizette (Dre) Edge. “It isn’t hyperbole to say without ongoing care, lives are at stake; it’s real. The status quo marginalizes and harms – rather than heals. O+ shifts the care landscape.”
O+’s short term goal is to provide comprehensive preventative care – with an emphasis on mental health, dental and primary care – to its intersectional alumni community in order to build a sustainable model of exchange that is both scalable and replicable in order to then expand to serve entire communities. In fact, the year-round exchange-based model already has far-reaching implications for the entire community, beyond artists: The expansion now makes it possible to create more opportunities to offer public education and community wellness sessions through O+’s participating health practitioners, artists, and musicians. Upcoming sessions open to the community include education sessions on nutrition and gut health led by practitioners and doctors.
“We are honored to have Allison Russell and her Rainbow Coalition supporting our mission through the O+ benefit this year. Known for her incisive and deeply compassionate work, Allison is a charismatic performer, a survivor, and a joy bomb who sings from a place rooted in values and a desire for connection,” said O+’s Art Director Lindsey Wolkowicz. “Notably, her music is a conduit for radical healing, community building and belonging, which completely align with O+ values. Her participation as the lead artist in support of O+’s benefit concert is exceptionally timely, as we are deeply focused on expanding care through our unprecedented year-round model based in valuing everyone’s contribution to the collective, all while acknowledging the essential, healing power of the arts in our lives and communities,” she added.
Since 2010, O+ Festival’s 3-day exchange-based festival clinic has provided 5,292 clinic treatments and 1,457 dental treatments. “Our 365-day expansion means more care for more people. We appreciate our concert-goers, donors and sponsors who support our mission of exchanging the art of medicine for the medicine of art,” said Dr. Edge.
