$50/$55/$65/$75

Rachelle Ferrell is one of the most dynamic talents in contemporary pop music. Very few vocal artists in the industry have her potent combination of multi-octave range, phrasing and musicianship. Ferrell began singing at the age of six, and first emerged in the states with her R&B debut Rachelle Ferrell (1992), a collection of self-penned originals that featured a striking duet with Will Downing, "Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This." It was with the release of First Instrument in 1994, recorded prior to Rachelle Ferrell, that audiences were introduced to her jazz sensibilities. In addition to her solo albums, she has sung backup for Lou Rawls, Patti LaBelle, Vanessa Williams and George Duke, and continues to tour as a soloist.

Coming from accomplished musical pedigrees, The High Kings grew up in households soaked in the Irish musical tradition, and each member of the band witnessed firsthand the power of well-crafted Irish music on an audience. Their most recent release, Grace and Glory, is the band's sixth album.

Mexican-American singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo has explored an array of musical identities throughout his career, from punk to roots rock, alt-country, hard rock, Tex-Mex, folk and string quartets. Escovedo began his trailblazing career with San Francisco's famed punk band The Nuns followed by the Austin-based alt-country rockers, Rank & File and the True Believers before countless all-star collaborations and a series of beloved solo albums beginning with 1992's acclaimed Gravity. Escovedo has earned a surplus of distinctions including the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award for Performing in 2006. His most recent album, Burn Something Beautiful, released in October 2016, is a celebration of the rock and roll life, a contemplation on mortality and the healing power of love. Prolific fellow Texas rock singer-songwriter Joe Ely - one third of the grassroots band The Flatlanders, who sings with agility and swagger on his latest solo album Panhandle Rambler - joins the co-bill.
