JIM BELUSHI WITH SPECIAL GUESTS JAMES MONTGOMERY & CHRISTINE OHLMAN WITH OPENER THE DAVE ANDREWS BAND Show: 8p | Doors: 7p Tickets: $20 ($3 Service Charge Included With Online Tickets. All sales are final, no ticket refunds or exchanges. Seats are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and seats are not guaranteed with ticket purchase.)   About Jim Belushi, Founder of Belushi’s Farm Jim Belushi is the founder of Belushi’s Farm cannabis, where his sprawling and spiritual 93 acres along the Rogue River plays home to a range of offerings— Belushi’s Chasing Magic, to The Blues Brothers, to Captain Jack’s Gulzar Afghanica, a rare strain from the Hindu Kush region that became known in the ‘70s as “The Smell of SNL,”  and now GROWING BELUSHI, a series on Discovery. GROWING BELUSHI takes Discovery’s audiences inside Jim’s world and shows the incredible effort it takes to build a legal cannabis operation. Having suffered the loss of his brother John to an overdose and his own journey, learning and healing through cultivating cannabis, Jim’s a passionate proponent of the plant’s beneficial properties across a spectrum of uses. From enhancing joy and quality of life, mitigating trauma and managing pain, to a harm reduction approach and rebuttal of the opioid abuse epidemic, Jim advocates for patient rights and adult-use legalization while empowering craft farmers to thrive in economies of scale.  A seasoned Second City and Saturday Night Live alumni, Jim’s starred in a selection of critically acclaimed movies ranging from Trading Places to Wonder Wheel, working with famed directors like Oliver Stone, Roman Polanski, David Lynch and Michael Mann. He’s also served as an executive producer, music composer, director, book author, and Broadway star. His own television show, According to Jim, aired for 182 episodes during eight seasons with the family favorite launching into off-net syndication. Along with Larry Joe Campbell and other talented Second City alum, Jim Belushi and the Board of Comedy perform improv sketch comedy at colleges, clubs, performing arts centers and venues nationwide. And, together with Dan Aykroyd, Jim tours the globe as Brother Zee of the iconic Blues Brothers. Additionally, Jim headlines his own music group The Sacred Hearts, which is the official house band for the House of Blues brand of venues. With 42 years in the public eye and Jim’s professional career further inspired by the beauty and healing power of cannabis, Jim is actively engaged in several projects benefiting the region around Belushi’s Farm and beyond. In Medford, Jim is helping reconstruct the historic Holly Theater to bring the 1930s Spanish Colonial movie palace back to life as Southern Oregon's largest indoor concert venue. In Eagle Point, Jim is assisting with the reconstruction of The Butte Creek Mill, destroyed in a 2016 electrical fire, to preserve its heritage, build community, and improve the environment. Additionally, Jim’s an ambassador for Last Prisoner Project, a coalition of cannabis industry leaders, executives and artists dedicated to bringing restorative justice to the cannabis industry. In the words of Dan Aykroyd, “if John had been a pothead, he’d still be alive today.”   https://www.belushisfarm.com  About Christine Ohlman The heart of Christine Ohlman has belonged to rock n’ roll from just about the moment she could walk and talk. By the time she traveled from Boston to New York on an overnight train to make her first record at the age of 16, writing the “B” side on the way to the studio (that “B” side. “I Don’t Know Why,” was reissued in 2012 in the UK as a part of a Mainstream Records compilation All Kinds Of Highs on the Ace label), she was already a veteran of the local coffeehouse circuit around New Haven, Connecticut. “Bob Shad, the owner of Mainstream, flew down from New York City to hear the band; he signed us the same day,” she says. “Shad was a true legend. He’d made field recordings of Ray Charles in Florida when he was still calling himself Ray Charles Robinson. What a kick. We were in the studio practically before we knew what hit us recording a version of Al Kooper’s ‘Wake Me, Shake Me.’ The next thing we knew, we were on the charts and I was in heaven!” Christine was a founding member of The Scratch Band, legendary throughout the Northeast for their incendiary and eclectic live shows, and her stark, piano-accompanied version of Dusty Springfield’s “I Only Want To Be With You” from their first LP was a turntable hit in the U.K. A portion of The Scratch Band reunited in the studios of NBC’s Saturday Night Live with Christine joining guitarist/vocalist/musical director G.E. Smith and bassist Paul Ossola, both former Scratch Band members, in the SNL band. Ohlman has now been the featured vocalist with the SNL Band for 31 years, appearing on both the 25th and 40th Anniversary SNL telecasts; in addition, SNL40’s post-show concert also featured her star turn onstage with Jimmy Fallon (pulled onstage by Fallon at the Plaza Hotel, Ohlman was treated to Elvis Costello and the B-52s joining her as back-up vocalists). At one show, the 11-member SNL Band, featuring in its repertoire a heavy dose of Christine’s favorite music—southern soul—took the stage (joined by Ry Cooder, Steve Cropper and Maceo Parker) as the house band for The Rhythm & Blues Foundation Pioneer Awards, a performance that was, in Ohlman’s words, “just about the biggest flat-out thrill of my life. We were doing ‘Tell Mama’ and I looked around to catch Steve Cropper’s eye only to spot Clarence Carter, who wrote the song, standing in the wings waiting to come on. I thought—well, it just doesn’t get much better than this” (although she admits that the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction in Cleveland, where she was part of the house band, The Central Park Summerstage Tribute To Janis Joplin, where she fronted both Big Brother & The Holding Company and the Kozmic Blues Band, and the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Tribute Concert, where she sang with George Harrison, among others, edge out everything for sheer historical vibe). Ohlman has most recently been featured on Dion’s 2024 album “Girl Friends”, where she shares two duets with the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of featured on Dion’s 2024 album “Girl Friends”, where she shares two duets with the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer (their friendship dates back to his duet with her on “The Deep End"’s vintage soul classic “Cry Baby Cry”), and on an upcoming 2-disc LP tribute to the late, great blues guitarist Matt Murphy. She’s been heard and seen in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” (in a guest-vocal turn on the Rolling Stones’ classic cut “Out of Time”); as the emcee of the historic 2022 Celebration of Life in NYC for the late Ronnie Spector; and in a series of concerts with the keyboard wizard of LA’s Wrecking Crew, Don Randi. In 2017, she was inducted into the National Blues Hall of Fame of American Heritage International. Ohlman topped the Alternate Root.com’s 2013 Readers’ Poll as top Americana vocalist, joining other winners Paul Thorn, The Mavericks and Rodney Crowell. While touring and recording with Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez are the main focus, she has numerous all-star concert appearances to her credit, including numerous guest vocal shots on the HBO series “Vinyl” that feature a duet with Elvis Costello; the AMA Conferences in Nashville; The PBS series “Music City Roots” with Bonnie Bramlett, Sarah Potenza and the McCrary Sisters; the 2016 New Orleans Jazz Festival’s Tribute To David Bowie; aforementioned 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction; “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon”; the Carnegie Hall Tribute to the Rolling Stones (where she appeared with Ian Hunter); the series of Little Kids Rock NYC tributes, on stage with Bruce Springsteen, Brian Wilson, Steve Miller, Tom Morello, Keb Mo, Bonnie Raitt, and Elvis Costello; the Lincoln Center “American Songbook” Series (with Sting and Lou Reed); both Obama Inaugural Galas; “Celebrate Brooklyn’s” Tribute to Bill Withers (with Nona Hendryx and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James); and sit-ins with Ronnie Spector, Mac Rebennack (two evenings of solo duets that she calls “some of the highlights of my life”), Muscle Shoals icons Donnie Fritts and John Paul White of the Civil Wars at NYC’s Public Theatre, soul queen Candi Staton, and the Blind Boys of Alabama Ohlman’s yearly contributions to the WC Handy Festival in Muscle Shoals, Alabama include historic events like her sold-out yearly blowouts at the giant Marriott Ballroom (her Tribute To Jerry Wexler has become legendary, and each year the A-team of Shoals Swampers and luminaries grace her stage, from the late Donnie Fritts and Jimmy Johnson to David Hood, Spooner Oldham, Clayton Ivey, Kelvin Holly and a host of others)  In 2015 Ohlman was the fest’s Grand Marshall, riding in Sam Phillips’ famed baby-blue Cadillac convertible. Muscle Shoals has truly become a second musical home; she plays in The Decoys with legendary bassist David Hood and, as she says, “the cream of the Shoals cats.” 2023 found her producing “Walking In Memphis", a sold-out, historic collaboration with blues greats Charlie Musselwhite and Travis Wammack. She’s been the special guest of the Blind Boys Of Alabama and soul queen Candi Staton. She is also deeply embedded in the New Orleans scene, with six sold-out editions of “Down On The Bayou” during successive years of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, all to benefit the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, of which she is a national spokesperson.  Ohlman of course continues to perform with the SNL Band, appearing on the aforementioned 40th Anniversary broadcast and with Al Green on the show’s 25th Anniversary Special as well as in hilarious commercial parodies like “Carter n’ Sons Barbeque.”  She is a sought-after studio guest vocalist, appearing on 2013’s “Andrew Loog Oldham & Friends Sing The Rolling Stones Songbook Vol. 2,” a historic release (chosen by Little Stephen’s Underground Garage as “2013’a Coolest Record Of The Year”) by the legendary Rolling Stones producer (a close friend and himself a 2014 inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame); Ian Hunter’s "When I’m President” and "Shrunken Heads"; Big Al Anderson’s "Pawn Shop Guitars"; and three CDs by esteemed Irish punk group Black 47. "Labor of Love: The Music Of Nick Lowe" features her vocal collaboration with Marshall Crenshaw on Lowe’s “Cruel To Be Kind.” And her commitment to the blues runs deep, as her scorching duets with the late Eddie Kirkland on his CD’s "Where You Get Your Sugar" and "Lonely Street"; her guest-shots with Charlie Musselwhite on his Grammy-nominated "One Night In America"; and her appearance on “The Songs Of Willie Dixon" (with Sonny Landreth & Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown) and Grammy nominee "A Tribute To Howlin’ Wolf" (with Taj Mahal & Lucinda Williams) give statement. In 2011 she contributed vocals to Mac Rebennack’s BP oil spill saga, “All Washed Up.” Dedication to preserving the soul in rock n’ roll has been the hallmark of Christine’s work from the days of The Scratch Band through a stint with Christine Ohlman and The Soul Rockers to her present band Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez’ (Cliff Goodwin-guitars, Michael Colbath-bass, Larry Donahue-drums; original guitarist Eric Fletcher passed away in May, 2006). Her earliest idols were Etta James, Ray Charles, and Jackie Wilson. “My mom taught me to love those artists,” says Christine. “When she was growing up she used to frequent Cafe Society in New York City to hear Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Lena Horne. I just naturally picked up on blues and jazz through her. Then of course there was Elvis, and Jerry Lee, and the artists on Stax and Atlantic. At some point I also began to listen heavily to Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James. So my songwriting reflects influences old and new. I always tend to lean toward wild guitar bands—you know, the ‘crazies’.” (Ohlman continues this fascination with musical tradition via her work as a music writer and musicologist. She was an original editor of the All-Music Guide, edited Andrew Loog Oldham’s autobiography “2Stoned", and is a cover-story-writing contributor to Elmore Magazine). Ohlman travels the world with The Sessions Panel, an all-star music industry presentation whose mission is to “enrich, educate and empower”; in 2019 they appeared at the Royal Academy in Ghent and in Nottingham, UK. She is a board member of the Institute for the Musical Arts founded by iconic guitarist June Millington of the group Fanny, and a yearly contributor to IMA’s Rock and Roll Camp for Girls. Ohlman’s six CDs with Rebel Montez are The Hard Way, Radio Queen, Wicked Time, Strip, 2008 career retrospective Re-Hive, and 2010’s The Deep End, her first CD of new material in five years. Co-produced by Andy York (John Mellencamp), it features duets with Ian Hunter, Dion DiMucci, and Marshall Crenshaw and guest shots by Levon Helm, Big Al Anderson, G.E. Smith, Eric “Roscoe” Ambel, and others. The Deep End was honored on four national 2010 Top Ten lists. In July, 2011, Ohlman & Rebel Montez released their first concert DVD, Live Hive. She is currently at work on “The Grown-Up Thing” projected for 2024 release. No stranger to tragedy, Ohlman suffered, in addition to the loss of longtime musical collaborator Fletcher, the death in 2005 of her mate and producer of more than 25 years, Doc Cavalier. Re-Hive is dedicated to his memory (as The Deep End is to Fletcher’s). Following Cavalier’s passing, she produced a now legendary memorial concert that featured 26 acts and nearly 100 musicians pivotal to the professional life she shared with him. “This is a time of reordering in my life,” she said recently. “There are no words to describe the empty spaces left by these losses. I feel I honor the memory of Doc and Eric by creating, by writing, and by performing. It hasn’t been easy by any means. But friends and fellow musicians have been extraordinary in their generosity and support. Michael Colbath, Larry Donahue, Cliff Goodwin and I look forward to the next record and to future collaborations.” Ohlman says, “The songs on The Deep End deal, in some ways, with the subject of loss, but much more importantly with the ways that love intersects with life to bring a kind of joy into one’s heart that is sometimes bittersweet.” With her trademark mile-high platinum beehive hairdo and enviable collection of sequins and rhinestones, Ohlman looks like a lady to be reckoned with, and when she opens her mouth to sing, the truth comes out. But underneath it all lurks a no-frills approach to music. In her own words—”I give it to an audience straight, which is the way I like it myself. Yes, I like to shout, and I like to croon, and I love to wail. I just need to get in the groove and rock---not think too much about it– tear it up or soothe it over. I’ve loved rock n’ roll since I was a little girl, and I’ll love it forever. It’s my greatest kick and my greatest privilege to be able to get up on a stage and rip it apart. That’s rock n’ roll to me. I’m here to set your soul on fire.” ABOUT JAMES MONTGOMERY James Montgomery (born May 12, 1949) is an American blues musician, best known as the lead singer, blues harp player, frontman, and bandleader of The James Montgomery Blues Band (a.k.a. The James Montgomery Band). Montgomery collaborates with many star performers and recording artists. He is also the past President of The New England Blues Society. While attending Boston University, where he earned a degree in English literature, Montgomery started the James Montgomery Band. His freshman roommate was Jeff Baxter.[During his junior year, he was hired by the Colwell-Winfield Blues Band to play harmonica and tour with Janis Joplin. By the time he graduated from college his band was on the cover of the Boston Phoenix, heralded along with J. Geils and Aerosmith as the city's great contributions to the music world. Though he said "he loved the academic life, when offered a $15,000 job at Boston University, Montgomery instead took a $250,000 offer to record and tour with the Allman Brothers, and never looked back", according to Pamela Marean, Standard-Times correspondent, on September 6, 2007. In 1970, Montgomery formed The James Montgomery Band. His harmonica playing, singing and energetic stage show led to his band gaining a reputation as one of the hottest bands on the New England music scene. Montgomery was signed by Capricorn Records to a multi-album deal, and released his first album titled First Time Out (1973). The original LP recordings were remastered and released as an Audio CD in October 20, 1998, by Capricorn / Umgd. Track 9 off his first album titled "Train" was a fan favorite and became the number one song on WBCN (FM). They played it every day at noon-time for over a year. In 2011, Montgomery used "Train" as part of his encore at shows. Montgomery recalls the night he played with Muddy Waters at Paul's Mall in Boston, Massachusetts. "I couldn't believe it. Here I was on stage with Muddy Waters," Montgomery recalls with a smile. "It was such a great feeling"   ABOUT THE DAVE ANDREWS BAND The Dave Andrews Band is a rock and blues quartet that started as the trio Manchowder in 1991. Drummer Dave Andrews and bass player Dan Decataldo are originally from North Smithfield RI, and started the band while at URI in South Kingstown.  Rhythm guitarist Bill Cote rounded out the trio. He has played in many different local acts over the years, including The Brunt of It The trio brought in lead guitarist Steve Cevoli about a year ago. Stevegrew up in North Kingstown and has also taken part in several different local bands and projects including Deadlands.

The Troublemakers Saturday, August 23 Show: 8p | Doors: 7p Tickets: $15 100 Watt Suns, John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band, The Hoolios, Whitesmoke, Soul Searchers, Brother Big Eye, Green Tea, Water St. Quartet, Crows Toes, and The Collective are just a few of the bands the members of The Troublemakers were playing in while this band formed accidentally in the summer of 2016. A band canceled on a local booker and and after a few phone calls, the lineup was assembled. The lineup includes the area’s most talented, in demand and seasoned veteran players. Ronnie Lewis plays the drums and handles lead vocals. Sitting next to him is Don “DC” Culp who plays the drums as well. Together they create a devastating pocket. The always busy - and in high demand - Dan Sherer holds down the keyboard/piano duties. Bill Light handles most of the lead guitar work and backing vocals. The band is rounded out by the younger but already seasoned Josh White (rhythm/lead guitar) and Mike Palazzolo on bass. The Troublemakers play music and have fun, that’s actually their only real rule. No egos and none of the other nonsense that, unfortunately, has become part of being a modern-working musician. It’s refreshing to see them having fun on stage, acting like they are in the garage like when they were kids and just playing music to play music!

Our August book is "Musical Chairs" by Amy Poeppel. This book is written by a CT Author.   From the jacket: "Bridget and Will have the kind of relationship that people envy: they’re loving, compatible, and completely devoted to each other. The fact that they’re strictly friends seems to get lost on nearly everyone. For three decades, they’ve nurtured their baby, the Forsyth Trio—a chamber group they created as students with their Juilliard classmate Gavin Glantz. In the intervening years, Gavin has gone on to become one of the classical music world’s reigning stars, while Bridget and Will have learned to embrace the warm reviews and smaller venues that accompany modest success.   Bridget has been dreaming of spending the summer at her well-worn Connecticut country home with her boyfriend Sterling. But her plans are upended when Sterling breaks up with her over email, her twin twenty-somethings arrive unexpectedly, and her elderly father announces he’s getting married. She concocts a plan to host her dad’s wedding on her ramshackle property, while putting the Forsyth Trio back into the spotlight. But to catch the attention of the music world, she and Will place their bets on luring back Gavin, whom they’ve both avoided ever since their stormy parting."
