Fred Child, host of the acclaimed public radio program Performance Today, joins Lake Champlain Chamber Music

Alejandro Escovedo’s journey has taken him from Texas to California to
New York and back again, traversing a world of musical styles. First a punk rock
dude with The Nuns (they opened for the Sex Pistols’ last show), then a country-punk
progenitor and roots mixologist in Rank and File and the True Believers, Escovedo has
spent over 30 years perfecting his evocative Americana. Now a singer-songwriter “in his
own genre” (Rolling Stone), Escovedo’s rich voice and unpredictable live shows have no equal.
Whether she’s singing about a “loser dreamer,” desert rain storms, brown liquor, or a vintage
Airstream trailer, Grammy winner Shelby Lynne brings humor, pathos, and true grit to every show.
Strains of country, blues, and soul drift through her songs as she bares her soul through deeply personal lyrics.
With a molasses-thick Alabama accent, Lynne’s powerful voice is “an extraordinary instrument” (NPR). Both artists perform
solo sets and together as a duo.

The “deliciously strange” (LA Times) comedian, musician, improv expert,

unpredictable performances created on the spot using only his
formidable voice and looping pedals. As he improvises absurd,
surreal comedy songs over his own looped beat-boxing,
Watts morphs into a mad hurricane that can shift personas,
accents, and topics in a flash. Called “the most wildly

Watts disorients audiences in the most entertaining way.

Grammy winner Diana Krall returns to the Flynn with sexy and adventurous
tunes from her new album, Glad Rag Doll. Called “an inspired, gritty burst of

vaudeville and jazz songs from the 1920s and ‘30s, hand-picked from her father’s
78-rpm record collection. As she rocks, swings, and shuffles, Krall fills these

a contortionist is lifted by her companions, and aerial artists defy the height of the
skyscrapers. Accompanied by an original musical score and video projections,
Cirkopolis twists and turns in a world where the veil of anonymity and solitude

includes an original score by drummer and composer Michael Caskey
and is “a shrewd and witty commentary on recovering the humanity
from an increasingly manufactured way of life” (Chicago Tribune).

Called “too good to be mortal” by Billboard, award-winning vocalist, mandolinist,
and fiddler Rhonda Vincent updates the haunting mountain bluegrass of Bill Monroe
with a performance ranging from breakneck instrumentals to heart-wrenching ballads.
A five-time Grammy nominee and seven-time IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year winner, Vincent
pairs her twangy, down-home vocals with the outsized musicianship of her all-star country band. With
a career that started four decades ago in Missouri as a member of her family band, The Sally Mountain Show,
Vincent plays the music of the heartland with a radiant, contemporary vibe.

Named after a sun-loving fungus that grows in
barnyards and pastures, Pilobolus thrills audiences
with ingenious choreography, zesty humor, daring physicality, and raw
athleticism. Equal part dancers, acrobats, mimes, and theater artists, the troupe
creates human sculptures that defy both gravity and logic. As zany as the Marx Brothers
and clever as Houdini, the Washington Post says Pilobolus “embodies a large part of what the best
in contemporary dance is all about: discovery.” With notable appearances on Oprah, Late Night
with Conan O’Brien, and at the Oscars, Pilobolus is serious fun.

Grammy-winning pianist, composer, and educator Arturo O’Farrill and the extraordinary 18-piece Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra
are “a joyful force” (NPR) that fuses Latin rhythms, clave, African-based percussion, modern jazz, and swing. The NYC powerhouse
preserves the classic sounds of Latin dance bands while embracing its experimental side, roaring through compositions by
Latin music’s best: Machito, Tito Puente, Astor Piazzola, Hermeto Pascoal, and his own father, Chico O’Farrill. A veteran of the groups
of Dizzy Gillespie and Harry Belafonte, O’Farrill leads the orchestra in a performance that spans the Americas, playing both traditional
cuts and commissioned works with the fire of a mambo workout.

“Smart . . .

Friday & Saturday, September 6 & 7 at 8 pm $25 save
In Not What Happened, multiple Obie-winning writer Ain Gordon and director Ken Rus Schmoll
premiere a work rooted in Vermont history. Inspired by the politics of reenactment—the recreation
of the past for the present—Not What Happened is a duet between two women that could never
actually meet: a tour guide in period costume working at a historic site, and the person that guide
represents. The evening-length work is accompanied by documentary artist Forrest Holzapfel’s photos
of 19th-century artifacts and rural landscapes.

“Sannidhi”
Saturday, September 21 at 8 pm $30 save
Called “a marvel of buoyant agility and sculptural clarity” (Dance Magazine),
Aparna Ramaswamy is co-director of Ragamala Dance and a protégé of legendary
Bharatanatyam artist Alarmel Valli, one of India’s greatest living masters. Bharatanatyam
has been described as “three-dimensional dance” and uses individual fingers, different parts
of the sole of the foot, the spine, eyes, head, arms, and legs to create rhythms and dynamic
contrasts. In Sannidhi, a solo piece with live music, Ramaswamy performs enchantingly
beautiful dance that advances the classical form as a visceral, living tradition.
As Noveller, guitarist Sarah Lipstate wields feedback, pedals, scissors,
an electric bow, and a stadium-size assembly of axe-shredding sounds.
Full of narcotic bliss, her ambient soundscapes shift delicately, and she shimmers
through experimental adventures teeming with looping drones and precision picking.
Known for her stints with Parts and Labor and Rhys Chatham’s Guitar Army
and her short films screened at SXSW, Lipstate harnesses her guitar
prowess and cinematic sensibilities to produce “evocative sound-artistry
so detailed and multifaceted that it seems to be alive” (TimeOut New York).

Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol (Lizards Lying in the Sun) is a fiery young Mexico City-based

Mexico in the 1960s: a time when young revolutionaries took up arms in a desperate attempt
to change society. Using documents, scale models, figurines, and video, they concoct
an epic piece of documentary theater that sheds light on the nature of rebellion and
the utopian desires of their predecessors. Performed in Spanish with English subtitles.

The company where he’s worked for the past 10 years is moving to another planet,
and playwright and composer Ethan Lipton doesn’t want to go. Part love letter
to his co-workers, part query to the universe, part protest to his company and
country, No Place to Go delivers a hilarious, irreverent, and personal musical
ode to the unemployed. Directed by Leigh Silverman (Well, Chinglish), this 2012
Obie-winning production is a Woody Guthrie-meets-Woody Allen chronicle of
the last weeks of its hero’s “permanent part-time” job as his company moves
to a place very far away: Mars.

Working with a five-member ensemble, Myers uses movement to create
expressive narratives that combine robust athleticism and humor.
Theatre in the Head was developed with composer Josh Quillen of
