SUMMARY:Compagnie Hervé KOUBI
DESCRIPTION:“They Fly. They Spin. They Change How You See the Amazing.”\n—The New York Times\nAbsolutely unique and utterly original\, this fearless\, powerful company reigns from France\, Algeria\, and beyond. Combining contemporary and urban dance movements\, capoeira\, and martial arts with powerful imagery and inspired choreography\, the dancers defy gravity. Inspired by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra’s novel\, What The Day Owes To The Night traces Koubi’s own personal lineage as a French-Algerian choreographer. After learning about his family’s Algerian roots\, Koubi returned to the country of his ancestors to collaborate with streetdance performers from across the Mediterranean basin. What emerged is “a creation of poetic beauty” (The New York Times)\, a meditative yet strikingly athletic work about the ties that bind us.\nNamed after the “invincible sun” deity\, the work Sol Invictus upholds love as the guarantor of peace\, that despite fracture\, communion emerges as humanity’s saving grace. The music score includes a composition by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson\, with excerpts by Steve Reich and digital composer Maxime Bodson. “I want to talk about light\, solidarity\, and those bonds that unite us\,” says Koubi. “Here\, the sun and the dance will emerge victorious.”

SUMMARY:Blues Traveler
DESCRIPTION:Blues Traveler was formed in 1987 by singer/harmonica player John Popper\, guitarist Chan Kinchla\, bassist Bobby Sheehan\, and drummer Brendan Hill; the band was part of a revival of the extended jamming style of ’60s and ’70s groups like the Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin. Blues Traveler were on the vanguard of the jam band scene of the 1990s\, the first of their generation to sign to a major label\, and one of a handful to experience genuine commercial success when the naggingly catchy “Run-Around” went into the Billboard Top Ten in 1995. By that point\, Blues Traveler had already carved themselves a place within the firmament of modern rock\, earning a loyal audience through their sweaty improvs of blues-based rock and coalescing their peers by launching the H.O.R.D.E. Festival in 1992. One of several Lollapalooza-inspired touring fests\, H.O.R.D.E. illustrated the large audience for jam bands and helped push Blues Traveler toward the top of the charts with their 1994 album Four going platinum six times. They didn’t stay in the upper reaches of Billboard for long\, but they never faded away. They worked steadily throughout the 2000s and beyond\, sometimes experimenting — 2015’s Blow Up the Moon was littered with unexpected cameos — but always returning to the blues as their foundation\, a debt underscored by the 2021 blues covers album Traveler’s Blues.
