Janis Ian | $40
May 1 @ 8 pm
Part of the Folk series
Two-time Grammy Award-winner Janis Ian is a formidable talent and a force of nature. Boasting an active recording career spanning more than four decades, it's good to know Ian remains where she started, in the bosom of folk music at its quintessential best. "Ian is as accomplished a singer/songwriter as she ever was, but she handles the highs and lows with the tremendous care of a survivor" (Rolling Stone).

Todd Carey, Alexa Wilkinson & Anthony da Costa | $25
May 8 @ 8 pm
Part of the Emelin Unplugged series
Fast-rising independent singer/songwriters Todd Carey and Alexa Wilkinson join forces for this tour, complimenting each other's songs about emotional experiences and past relationships in a pop/folk/rock style. Anthony da Costa is a folk singer with less capos and more grit - banging on an old Yamaha guitar namEd Geronimo; singing and playing as if it's his last night on the planet Earth. Oh, and don't worry, he has a sensitive side. It's like his other side, but with more falsetto.

Tom Chapin | $18 adults, $13 children
May 9 @ 11 am & 1:30 pm
Part of the Family series
Hailed by Billboard magazine as "the best family artist around," Tom Chapin has entertained, amused and enlightened children and grown ups alike for more than thirty years, eighteen albums and six Grammy Award nominations. He graces the Emelin stage for the first time. All ages.
