2.  THE NEXT NOTLOB PARLOUR CONCERTNOTLOB PARLOUR CONCERTS PRESENTSDakota Dave HullDoors 7:30, Concert 8:00Preceded by a separate admission workshop*Loring-Greenough House, 12 South Street, Jamaica Plain“One of the best guitarists in the world.”—Dave Van Ronk

“Hull is something of a guitar god in his native midwest, where he’s been dazzling audiences for over 30 years with his lush finger-picking and quicksilver flat-picking. He is also a sly raconteur with an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage American music.”—Scott Alarik, Boston Globe, March 2004“There’s a million good things I could say about Dave Hull but I’ll narrow it down to two: He’s an excellent picker, both flatpick and fingerstyle, he collects some fine instruments, and we’ve been at a lot of good places to eat together.”—Norman Blake“Hey Dave, thanks for sending me your Loyalty Waltz album. I just put it on to use as background music for something I was reading. Damn you, I never read a thing. Listened to the whole album straight through. Nice album, my good man. Keep on.”—Geoff MuldaurHailed by everyone from Dave Van Ronk to Doc Watson, from the Washington Post to downbeat, Dakota Dave Hull’s guitar style spans a wide musical geography to create an infectious, uniquely personal blend of jazz, ragtime, folk, blues, Western swing, and vintage pop. Dakota Dave is a restlessly curious, adventurous traveler along the broad highway of America’s music. In his playing the masters speak, but in a vocabulary that is Dave’s alone: alternatively mirthful and moving, always melodic.A gifted composer as well as a strikingly original interpreter of older tunes, Dave calls what he does “classic American guitar.” Folk legend Van Ronk called Dave “one of the best guitarists in the world.”Most of all, Dakota Dave’s music is great fun. As Douglas Green (Ranger Doug of Riders in the Sky) puts it, “There is an imp within Dave Hull that always expresses itself on the fretboard; a witty, intelligent yet respectful imp who frolics in his music, an imp Dakota Dave neither fights nor lets take control, but simply absorbs into the heart of his style.”On stage or in the recording studio Dave has performed with Utah Phillips, Doc Watson, Robin and Linda Williams, Dave Van Ronk, John Renbourn, Paul Geremia, Spider John Koerner, Cam Waters, Sally Rogers, Butch Thompson, Peter Ostroushko, Garrison Keillor, and Norman Blake, and many others. His albums include three with early performing partner Sean Blackburn and six solo efforts (the acclaimed Hull’s Victory and Reunion Rag, both on Flying Fish) with four more, New Shirt, Sheridan Square Rag, The Loyalty Waltz and Time Machine on Arabica Records. Airship, a duo album with singer/guitarist/fiddler Pop Wagner was widely praised. His three albums with guitar and mandolin ace Kari Larson (also on Arabica) have become legendary. Most recently, Dave recorded an album of mostly traditional music duets with the noted guitarist Duck Baker, When You Ask a Girl to Leave Her Happy Home.Dave is a recipient of a 2013 Traditional Arts grant from the Minnesota State Arts board.*WORKSHOP: "The Art of Making Arrangements" $30 (less 20% JPTC members).

LORD GEOFFREY PRESENTS - Lord Geoffrey is a scurrilous card-carrying member of the Boston-area folk scene whose mission in life is to re-kindle the great folk scare by presenting in unique rented spaces (galleries, historic homes, church sanctuaries, clubs...) vintage musicians of that era as well as up-and-coming young whippersnappers! and like https://www.facebook.com/LGPresents/April 7 - BowSmack (Mike Block & Tupac Mantilla) @ tbanotloB’s brother series has the opportunity of presenting Julliard-trained cello virtuoso Mike Block in his new project with world percussionist Tupac Mantilla, but none the usual unusual venues are available. If you are aware of a suitable space – an art gallery, a yoga studio, a black box theater, a museum, a private home…please email lordgeoffreypresents@gmail.com as soon as possible!April 30 - John Mailanderand Molly Tuttle@ Outpost 186

La crème de la crème, so to speak. From their own sources augmented by member input, Cecelia's Choices editors recommend concerts, recitals and other performances as well as workshops, classes and opening information, many of which are "off the radar" or unique or uncommon. No more need to join umpteen different genre-specific Facebook groups and pages, just come here to choose from the cream. Please contribute your event on the main page for consideration to be featured as the date draws closer....6. HOUSEKEEPING.
