SUMMARY:Lansdowne Theater:  The Wailers 50 Years of Positive Vibrations
DESCRIPTION:The Wailers\n50 Years of Positive Vibrations\n \nIn 2026\, The Wailers celebrate 50 years of Rastaman Vibration\, marking a defining moment in reggae history and honoring one of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ most influential albums. This special tour\, 50 Years of Positive Vibrations\, highlights select cuts from Rastaman Vibration alongside the timeless classics that continue to unite audiences across generations. \nReleased in 1976\, Rastaman Vibration was a pivotal album that carried reggae’s message of resistance\, spirituality\, and hope onto the global stage. Songs like “Positive Vibration\,” “Roots\, Rock\, Reggae\,” and “War” remain as relevant today as ever — powerful expressions of music as both a cultural force and a call for unity. \nUnder the leadership of Aston Barrett Jr.\, son of legendary bassist Aston “Familyman” Barrett\, The Wailers continue to honor their roots while carrying the music forward with purpose and authenticity. Joined by Mitchell Brunings\, whose soulful vocals and commanding stage presence have captivated audiences worldwide\, the band delivers performances that embody the enduring spirit of reggae — uplifting\, conscious\, and deeply human. \nIn a unique crossover into film\, Aston Barrett Jr. portrayed his father in the 2024 biopic Bob Marley: One Love\, directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and starring Kingsley Ben-Adir. His portrayal added rare authenticity\, grounded in lived experience and a deep personal connection to the legacy. \nAlongside honoring the past\, The Wailers remain firmly rooted in the present. Their recent albums One World and Evolution — both Grammy-nominated — reaffirm the band’s creative vitality. Evolution\, produced by Grammy Award-winner Emilio Estefan Jr. on Crescent Moon Records\, blends classic roots reggae with contemporary global influences\, with songs like “Love Should Be Free” resonating worldwide for their positive and socially conscious message. \nAudiences can expect a soul-stirring setlist that weaves together the revolutionary spirit of Rastaman Vibration\, the band’s classic anthems\, and select modern highlights — all delivered with the same authenticity\, musicianship\, and heart that made The Wailers a cornerstone of global music. \n50 Years of Positive Vibrations is more than a tour — it’s a celebration of music with meaning\, a living connection between reggae’s golden era and its continuing power to inspire unity\, resilience\, and hope.

SUMMARY:Lansdowne Theater:  Jeffrey Osborne & Will Downing
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Osborne\nBorn in Providence\, Rhode Island\, Jeffrey Osborne was the youngest of 12 children and was surrounded by music as he was growing up. He had five brothers and six sisters\, some of whom went on to have music careers. His father\, Clarence “Legs” Osborne\, was a popular trumpeter who sat in with the likes of Lionel Hampton and Duke Ellington and turned down many top band offers during his career to be with his family\, he passed away when Jeffrey was only 13. At the age of 15\, Jeffrey sat in with the O’Jays when the drummer was unable to perform to their standards\, and went on to play with them for two weeks. That was all the inspiration Osborne needed to pursue a musical career. \nIt was at another Providence nightclub that fate brought him together with the band Love Men Ltd..It was only after receiving his mother’s encouragement that Jeffrey left for Los Angeles to play with Love Men Ltd..who later changed their name to L.T.D.Osborne was originally brought on as the drummer and eventually became the lead vocalist. After more than ten years with the band\, he decided to pursue a solo career\, which produced such Top 40 hits as ” Really Don’t Need No Light”\, Don’t You Get So Mad”\, “Stay With Me Tonight”\, You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song) and a duet with Dionne Warwick\, “Love Power.” \nOsborne’s solo career has brought him four grammy nominations\, five gold and platinum albums\, including his debut self entitled album ” Jeffrey Osborne”\, “Stay with Me Tonight” and “Only Human”. He scored an international hit with “On the Wings of Love” in 1982. After his six albums released on A&M during the ’80s\, he moved to Arista for Only Human (1990)\, then switched to a series of independent labels. His releases during the 2000s included ” That’s for Sure” (2000) and “Music Is Life” (2003)\, as well as cover albums ” From the Soul “(2005) and “A Time for Love” (2013). His latest project entitled “Worth It All” was released in 2018 on Mack Avenue Records \, this project was written and produced by Jeffrey Osborne \, with the exception of one song entitled ” Work It” which was co-written with his son Jeffrey Osborne Jr. who also performed on the track with him. This project\, inspired by the late great George Duke has taken Osborne back to his deep R&B roots. \nCurrently Jeffrey Osborne is actively performing and touring around the world. In 2012 Osborne founded The Jeffrey Osborne Foundation and the Jeffrey Osborne Celebrity Classic. The primary mission is to benefit nonprofit organizations who support a continued push for music and arts to children and their families\, as well as those who provide a safe haven for families in need. In the past nine years through his Celebrity Golf Tournament the Jeffrey Osborne Foundation has donated over $1\,000\,000 to various charities in Rhode Island. \nWill Downing\nThey say a man’s “soul” is his spiritual essence. Life’s twists and turns can lift that soul high into the sky or send it crashing to the ground below. Unfortunately\, 2023 started with the latter for Will Downing\, following the unexpected and soul-crushing loss of daughter Aron Siobhan Downing in January. As a father\, he was devastated… heartbroken. As an artist\, he sought solace and comfort through his craft\, facing the hurt head-on and exploring multiple themes of love to begin the healing. Persevering through the pain\, The Prince of Sophisticated Soul has shared his 7- song masterclass in triumph over tragedy\, Soul Rising! \nCelebrating an insane 35 years in the “bizness” and 27 Albums to his credit Will Downing will not be stopped! Flexing on his international appeal\, the lead single “What Part of My Love” shot to the top of the UK Soul Chart Top 30 and parked there. Those who no longer listen to new releases as the collective work it was intended to be\, should make an exception in this case. Although not a “concept” album\, the pieces of Soul Rising fit together beautifully as a single statement and should be enjoyed as such. We all know the about the smoothness\, but there’s a brand-new kind of… dare I say… “Funkiness”\, that I think is here to stay! \nYou (and your speakers\, headphones\, etc.) will feel the difference right off the jump\, with the lead-off cut\, “Closer to Me”\, when that bass and drum starts hitting a little differently. The familiar writing and production tandem of Downing and guitarist Randy Bowland\, turn the heat up a bit from their usual formula. With keyboardist Mike Logan Sr. and background vocalist Ms. Monet rounding out the groove\, I dare you not to move somethin’! \nHouse of Love\, another Downing/Bowland collab\, gives me “Maze” vibes\, however unintended\, but that’s never a bad thing! To the extent over the last 4 decades\, these two surviving entities may have directly or indirectly influenced each other\, I’ll welcome that musical baby into the fold every time with open arms and ears. \nMake no mistake\, Will Downing didn’t forget the “smooth” that made the Man\, the Myth\, the Legend! Nor did he abandon his world-famous knack for what he affectionately calls “interpretations” of classic hits. He plucked an absolute diamond of a gem from arguably one of the finest early 70’s albums\, The Stylistics’ Round Two\, and their hauntingly enchanting\, “You’re As Right As Rain”! If you’ve ever “slow-dragged” with a blue light in the basement\, you will be transported to afros\, platforms\, bell-bottoms and Brut cologne… if you know you know\, but I digress. In addition to assists from long-time collaborator Ronnie Foster\, Downing recruits the sweet trumpet of solo Artist and one half of 90’s duo Imprompt2\, Johnny Britt to seal vibe. \nSoul Rising then takes a solemn turn to the heart and very “Soul” of this release. Downing\, maybe for his own well-being\, had to stare his tragedy down squarely and turn art into therapy. “Till We Meet Again”\, serves as a father’s sweet hand-off to God to care for his angel Siobhan\, until they’re joined again divinely as father and daughter in heavenly reward. An unimaginable undertaking for a parent attempting to channel pain into art. The song is introduced by the actual last New Year’s Day last voicemail exchanged by Downing and Siobhan\, which contain no hint of the drama to unfold just 10 days later. Downing makes the song a true family affair\, with daughter Aja and wife Audrey Wheeler Downing lending their supportive voices. A passionately moving albeit gut-wrenching tribute\, but well done. \nGiven that dynamic\, it’s understandable that the final three tracks all lean into a theme of “Love”. Starting with the aforementioned smash\, “What Part of My Love”\, but pivoting back to that new “funk” vibe with “Love You Right”\, this time with Hubert Eaves IV joining the revival. An intentional sequence I would think\, to lift and restore the spirit of Soul Rising! \nI think the final cut\, “Love of A Lifetime”\, as a message\, speaks simultaneously of what we seek in both a personal relationship and the love of a father to a child. Maybe that wasn’t the intent\, but given the circumstances\, I heard both. Love is love! \nFamily… Will Downing dug deep for this one. Even down to the Album cover a original piece of artwork by Frank Morrison. Realize\, recognize and appreciate a real man\, a real artist and a real father with his Soul Rising!

SUMMARY:Lansdowne Theater:  Joe Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Joe Jackson + Band\nHope and Fury Tour 2026 \n“Hello cruel world / I’m not going away / So I might as well have my say\,” sings Joe Jackson on his new album\, and there’s no doubt that at a point when many of his contemporaries have lost their passion\, their talent\, their voices or even their lives\, Jackson goes from strength to strength. Hope and Fury might\, in fact\, just be his best album yet. \nA Return to Joe Jackson’s “Own Mainstream” \nThough often depicted as a chameleonic artist who constantly “changes his style\,” Jackson insists that most of his albums are in “his own mainstream” — collections of sophisticated pop songs\, using different kinds of rhythms and combinations of instruments. At the same time\, Jackson reserves the right to step away from that mainstream. As he said in a rare recent interview for the UK’s Chap magazine\, “I always knew I was in this music thing for life. So every now and again I’m going to do something different\, to keep it interesting.” Jackson’s most recent “sidestep\,” Mr. Joe Jackson presents Max Champion in ‘What A Racket!’ saw him hilariously channelling a forgotten Music Hall entertainer from Edwardian England. \nAbout the Album: Hope and Fury \nHope and Fury returns to the present\, and the “JJ mainstream\,” with nine strong new songs. After laying the groundwork for the album in Michael Tibes’ Fuzz Songs Full of Contrast\, Humour and Heart Factory studio in Berlin\, Jackson returned to New York’s Reservoir Studios with co-producer Patrick Dillett and assembled his on-and-off band since 2016 — “bassist for life” Graham Maby\, guitarist Teddy Kumpel\, and drummer Doug Yowell — augmented by the Latin percussion of Peruvian native Paulo Stagnaro. The result might strike a fan as a cross between 2019’s Fool\, 1991’s Laughter and Lust\, and 1982’s Night and Day. \nLike those albums\, Hope and Fury overflows with great tunes\, clever and original lyrics\, and funky grooves\, with Jackson’s vocals and keyboard playing as strong as\, if not stronger than\, they’ve ever been. In keeping with the title (an ironic twist on Land of Hope and Glory)\, this is a more English Joe Jackson than we’ve seen for quite a while (the Max Champion influence\, perhaps?)\, with some songs suggesting a love/hate relationship with his homeland. \nOpening track Welcome to Burning-By-Sea describes a fictional seaside town inspired by Brighton and Jackson’s hometown Portsmouth but turns out to be a microcosm of the whole country\, while End of the Pier ingeniously contrasts a slice of British working-class life in 1922 with a post-pandemic version in 2022. \nFor that matter\, this is an album full of contrasts\, but it’s mostly upbeat\, with the trademark JJ humour much in evidence: from biting sarcasm in I’m Not Sorry and playful mockery in Fabulous People to pure silliness in Do Do Do. In The Face\, an Everyman character finds himself lost in an angry and polarized political climate: “Not one of the Great Unwashed” but “One of the Great Overwhelmed.” Two other songs are in Jackson’s oft-cited “bittersweet” melodic mode: Made God Laugh expresses a kind of happy\, grown-up fatalism about life in general\, while After All This Time is a similar take on a long-term relationship. The album also follows a Joe Jackson tradition by ending with a slow ballad — this time one of his most beautiful\, See You In September. \nJoe Jackson is definitely not going away. Dividing his time between New York City and Portsmouth UK\, Jackson describes himself as “bicoastal” both geographically and musically — and Hope and Fury as Bicoastal LatinJazzFunkRock.

SUMMARY:Lansdowne Theater:  Judy Collins & Richard Thompson plus special guest Elles Bailey
DESCRIPTION:Judy Collins & Richard Thompson\nplus special guest Elles Bailey\nA ‘WXPN Welcomes’ Event \nJudy Collins has long inspired audiences with sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work\, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. \nThe award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album\, Wildflowers\, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Judy’s dreamy and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the Clowns\,” a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical A Little Night Music\, won “Song of the Year” at the 1975 Grammy Awards. She’s garnered several top-ten hits gold- and platinum-selling albums. Recently\, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright\, Shawn Colvin\, Dolly Parton\, Joan Baez\, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins. \nThe cultural treasure’s 55th album\, Spellbound\, was released in February 2022\, finds Judy enjoying an artistic renaissance. The 13 song album is a special entry in her oeuvre. It marks the first time ever she wrote all the songs on one of her albums. It features 12 new recently-written modern folk songs\, and a bonus track of her evergreen\, “The Blizzard.” Spellbound is an introspective and impressionistic album. It unfolds as if Judy curated a museum exhibit of her life\, and welcomed us into a retrospective of her most formative moments\, some big and public\, and some intensely personal and intimate. Spellbound was nominated in the Best Folk Album category at the 65th Recording Academy Grammy Awards in 2023. \nWhile maintaining her rigorous touring schedule\, Judy is set to release her first book of poetry in March of 2025 with Andrews McMeel Publishing. Written with the bold vulnerability that Judy Collins is best known for\, Sometimes It’s Heaven is a timeless collection of poetry that captures the ethereal and inspiring nature of her artistry in an all-new way. Biographical and relatable\, Sometimes It’s Heaven is a must-read for fans of poetry\, fans of Judy\, and fans of truth. \nRichard Thompson‘s musical influence cannot be overstated. Having co-founded the groundbreaking group Fairport Convention as a teenager in the ‘60s\, he and his bandmates invented the distinctive strain of British Folk Rock. He left the group by the age of 21 which was followed by a decade long musical partnership with his then-wife Linda\, to over 30 years as a highly successful solo artist. In 2011\, Thompson received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) personally bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. \nThe Los Angeles Times called him “the finest rock songwriter after Dylan and the best electric guitarist since Hendrix” and Rolling Stone has named him one of the Top 100 Guitarists of All Time. He has received lifetime achievement awards for songwriting from the BBC Radio 2 Awards\, the Americana Music Association\, and was awarded the prestigious Ivor Novello Award. His song “1952 Vincent Black Lightning” was named one of TIME Magazine’s “100 Greatest Songs Since 1923.” A wide range of musicians have recorded Thompson’s songs including Robert Plant\, Elvis Costello\, R.E.M.\, Sleater-Kinney\, Del McCoury\, Bonnie Raitt\, Tom Jones\, David Byrne\, Don Henley\, Los Lobos\, and many more. \nHis massive body of work includes many Grammy nominated albums as well as numerous soundtracks\, including Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man and 2019’s The Cold Blue. His genre defying mastery of both acoustic and electric guitar along with engaging energy and onstage wit continue to earn him new fans and a place as one of the most distinctive virtuosos and writers in Folk Rock history.
