In the decades prior to the 1960s, through the work of such avatars as Woody Guthrie, the Weaver and Pete Seeger, folk music was identified with sociopolitical commentary, but the idiom had been forced underground in the Senator Joe McCarthy witch-hunting era of the late '50s. By the time Peter, Paul & Mary arrived on the scene, folk music was viewed a side-bar to pop music. Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers came together to reclaim folk's potency as a social, cultural and political force, but few could have realized how fervently and pervasively the group's message of humanity, hope and activism would be embraced. Tonight we welcome Peter Yarrow to the Opera House stage. Join us for this special evening. Advance Tickets $25, day of show tickets $30. Doors for seating open at 7:30 p.m., concert at 8 p.m. For tickets call the Box office at (207) 633-5159 or go online at the Title link above. Event #8030 Map + Directions

Imagine the sound of a Brazilian Carnaval in the Appalachian Mountains, a sound where dynamic percussion instruments rumble beneath blues drenched vocals, telecaster twangs, accordion acrobatics, and folksy fiddle tunes. Matuto ("bumpkin" in Brazilian slang) moves with two-stepping grace between bluegrass and forre, between swamp rock and maracatu, between surf guitar shimmies and the wah-wah of the berimbau. Lively, unorthodox, and delightful. This New York City group is surprising audiences around the world. Lead man Clay Ross last appeared at the Opera House with fiddler April Verch. Tonight we welcome him back with his amazing band. Advance tickets $15, day of show $20. Available at the Box office by calling (207) 633-5159 or online at the Title link above.

Since their first recording in 1998, the Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown have grown to be the most globe-trotting, hardest-swinging Western swing trio on the planet. The first American band to tour Azerbaijan, they have opened stadiums for such artists as Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson and continue to bring their brand of western swing to a wide range of festival audiences all over the world. But for guitarist Whit Smith, fiddler Elana James and bassist Jake Erwin, it has always been about staying true to their roots. Remaining willfully out of the musical mainstream, Hot Club of Cowtown have created an international cult following for their sonic personification of joy and unique sound inspired by their namesakes: "Hot Club" from the hot jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli's Hot Club of France, and "Cowtown" from the Western swing influence of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Concert at 8 pm, doors for seating open at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets $17, day of show tickets $22. For tickets or info contact the box office at (207) 633-5159 or online at the Title link above.

In an ever expanding body of work, Jens Kruger (banjo, vocals), Uwe Kruger (guitar, lead vocals) and Joel Landsberg (bass, vocals) personify the spirit of exploration and innovation that forms the core of the American musical tradition. Originally from Switzerland, the Kruger brothers began playing North American folk music at an early age and were particularly inspired by the recordings of Doc Watson, Flatt and Scruggs, and Bill Monroe. In the days since, even Doc Watson has said "the Kruger Brothers are just about as fine a band as I've ever played with, I love to play with them." The Bluegrass Journal calls them "nothing short of magnificent." Nashville Public Radio has called the Kruger Brothers "one of the most creative, spiritually minded, musically gifted, soul enriching and life affirming bands to ever come down the pike. They give new meaning to the phrase 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.'" Don't miss this evening of unforgettable music at the Opera House. Advance tickets $15, day of show $20.

With a showman's flair, a comedian's wit, and the capacities of a bona fide Mentalist or thought reader, The Amazing Kreskin has, for 5 decades, dramatized the unique facets of the human mind, his own! His very name has become an integral part of pop culture throughout the world, invoked in comedy clubs, comic strips, print stories, and TV shows. In 2008, Tom Hanks produced and co-starred with John Malkovich in "The Great Buck Howard" which was fashioned after the Amazing Kreskin's life. After over 50 years of performing, Kreskin has a new cult following. To quote David Letterman, "Kreskin should sue the producers of the TV show, 'The Mentalist' for stealing his act. He's the best mentalist in the world and he's not acting!" Kreskin tells people things about themselves that only a close family member or friend would know! Advance tickets $20, day of show $25.
