The richly sonorous choir Men of the Deeps is a compilation of current and former mine workers that have become a worldwide phenomenon. Since their debut in 1966, the choir has toured the world extensively, spreading the rich cultural heritage of their community. The choir was honored to be the first Canadian group to tour China following the restoration of diplomatic relations. Still performing in their workmen’s hats and uniforms, these men are the real-deal and have overcome adversity with their faith and beautiful songs. www.menofthedeeps.com

Baxter Black Friday, March 7 7:30pm adults $45 / students $5 Baxter Black, described by the New York Times as '…probably the nation's most successful living poet,"…thinks it's an exaggeration. This former large animal veterinarian is followed nationwide through his newspaper columns, National Public Radio segments and public appearances. Baxter lives in Benson, Arizona, between the Gila River and the Gila monster, the Mexican border and the Border Patrol and between the horse and the cow – “Where the action is.” Everything about Baxter is cowboy; his cartoonish mustache, his personality and his poetry. He makes a living shining a spotlight on the flaws and foibles of everyday cowboy life. He demonstrates that it is the truth in his humor that makes it funny. So, in a nut shell (where some believe he may have evolved) there is considerably more to Baxter than just an entertainer. He is the real thing. www.baxterblack.com

Duke Ellington Orchestra Sunday, March 16 3:00pm adults $35 / students $5 “It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing” is still the motto of this unforgettable big band. Duke Ellington is arguably one of America’s most prolific and respected songwriters and musicians. Throughout his extensive career, his band led the forefront of the popular groups; greats such as Billy Strayhorn, Miles Davis, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and more held it as a privilege to perform with or in his orchestra. The Jazz standards he wrote, including “Satin Doll,” “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” “In a Sentimental Mood,” “C-Jam Blues” and “Take the ‘A’ Train,” stemmed from Duke’s endless imagination. With soaring reeds and Duke’s signature jungle-growl brass, this band really knows how to swing. www.dukellington.com

Founded in 1981 after the election of President Reagan, they hold the idea that if entertainers could become politicians, than politicians can become entertainers. Just in time for election season, nobody on the Hill is safe from their satirical songs or witty skits. Even if you think you’ve seen the show before, remember that the people in charge are always supplying new comedic material from wars and scandals to State-of-the-Union addresses for equal opportunity fun!

Where: Marquee Theater

Anchorage, Alaska's '36 Crazyfists' chooses to craft intensely beautiful, melodic hard rock, reminiscent of the quiet-loud bipolarity of the Deftones, the post-hardcore urgency of Quicksand, and the full on soul-baring, emotional assault of Glassjaw. Napalm Death attained legendary status for their debut album 'Scum' (1987), which is considered to have started a truly violent revolution within the world of extreme music. Although the band has undergone line-up changes ever since then, they still provide what has been described as a furious mix of highly aggressive metal and agitational hardcore/punk fitted with social criticism.

The Black Dahlia Murder
Where: Marquee Theater
Date: 2008-01-29 18:30:00
Type:
Detroit's The Black Dahlia Murder actually sound like they should live in Scandinavia, from whence originates much of the frenetic brand of death and black metal that inspires them. Formed in 2001, the group followed their six-song 'What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse' demo with the four-track 'A Cold-Blooded Epitaph E.P.,' which was released on their own Lovelost Records. With a number of acclaimed concerts appearances like the Milwaukee Metal Fest already under their belts, the group then signed with Metal Blade in 2003 and were soon recording their debut album 'Unhallowed.' The Canadian sextet Three Inches of Blood evokes a throwback to heavy metal's youthful 1980s heyday. The band's Iron Maiden-like galloping riffs and solos are speeded up to thrash metal tempos, topped with "Dungeons & Dragons" styled lyrics and titles such as 'Destroy the Orcs' and 'Ride Darkhorse, Ride.' Their latest is 'Advance and Vanquish.' Hate Eternal features Erik Rutan from Ripping Corpse and Morbid Angel.
