Lee Moretti / Emily Peal / Ali Rapetti

Friday, December 4, 2009, 8:00 p.m., Cafe 939 [Map]

Lee Moretti and her band deliver hooks with a one-two punch, reflecting on love, loss, and the powers of fate, change, and choice. People can't quite put their finger on what genre Emily Peal falls into. . . and that's a beautiful thing. "Quirk-rock," maybe? [details]

Graham Colton / Seth Glier

Saturday, December 5, 2009, 8:00 p.m., Cafe 939 [Map]

Don't call it a simple return. Call it a metamorphosis, a deep progression, an inspired evolution or—perhaps most fitting—a rewarding exercise in self-actualization. Stepping into his own in order to connect to his heart and artistic vision, Graham Colton has emerged with a stunning collection of pop-rock melodies, lyrics, and emotions in 12 tracks that swing between love and heartbreak, trials and relief.

Mark O'Connor Interview and Discussion

Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 1:00 p.m., Cafe 939 [Map]

A product of America's rich aural folk tradition as well as classical and flamenco music, Mark O'Connor's creative journey began at the feet of a pair of musical giants. The first was the folk fiddler and innovator who created the modern era of American fiddling in the 1940s, Benny Thomasson; the second, French jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli. Between these musical extremes, O'Connor absorbed knowledge and influence from the multitude of musical styles and genres he studied. Now, at age 47, he has melded and shaped these influences into a new American classical music, and a vision of an entirely American school of string playing. As the Los Angeles Times noted, he has "crossed over so many boundaries, that his style is purely personal."
