Duke Robillard & The Gerry Beaudoin Trio

$42 – 7pm and 9pm

Whether it’s a song, a style, an idiom or an image, Duke Robillard will render it with mastery, power, nuance and an unerring grasp of its essence. Duke has carved out one of blues’ most illustrious legacies, while also trodding some lofty related territories as a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, bandleader, studio sideman, producer, label operator and educator. Duke’s resume is decorated with Grammy nominations, Handy Awards and Blues Music Awards, and other honors for his artistry, recordings and productions within the United States and internationally.

On his latest release, Duke Robillard and his Dames of Rhythm on M.C. Records, he wields an acoustic archtop and joins six thrushes for evocative and enjoyable renditions of 1920s and 1930s swing tunes; it’s a worthy successor to his 2016 BMA-winning The Acoustic Blues And Roots Of Duke Robillard.

The Gerry Beaudoin Trio is the musical vehicle for award winning jazz and blues guitarist Gerry Beaudoin. His performance on Live at the Stoneham Theater was singled out by jazz historian Scott Yanow in his book The Great Guitarists as one of the “finest examples of jazz guitar on film.” For over thirty years the Gerry Beaudoin Trio has been a fixture on the New England jazz scene as well as the national jazz stage. He is the recipient of a National Association Of Independent Record Distributors Award for his recording In A Sentimental Mood and two Cadence Magazine Editors Choice Awards.
