Gaelic Storm
Gaelic Storm
Friday, Feb 17,  8:00 PM
Memorial Union - Union Theater
General Public: $32 -- UW-Madison Students w/ ID: $10
Gaelic Storm rocked the Union Theater in 2011, playing to an enthusiastic sell-out crowd. We welcome them back for another night of fantastic Celtic music. After a start playing monthly gigs for friends at Santa Monica's O'Brien's Tavern in 1995, Gaelic Storm's popularity skyrocketed when it appeared in James Cameron's Titanic as the Celtic party band in the ship's steerage. Since then, the band has amassed a large, loyal and ever-growing following. The band has flourished in an extreme DIY fashion by not only launching their own label, Lost Again Records, and releasing their albums themselves but also by designing all their own album art, posters and advertisements. (Please note there is a UW Hockey game this evening, so allow yourself enough time to find parking).

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
Thursday, Mar 01,  8:00 PM
Memorial Union - Union Theater
General Public: $38, $34, $25 -- UW-Madison Students w/ ID: $10
Groundbreaking banjoist/composer/bandleader Béla Fleck has reconvened the original Béla Fleck & The Flecktones', the extraordinary initial line-up of his incredible combo. It includes pianist/harmonica player Howard Levy back in the fold alongside Fleck, bassist Victor Wooten, and percussionist/ Drumitarist Roy "Futureman" Wooten. Far from being a wistful trip back in time, the Grammy Award-winning quartet creates some of the most forward thinking music of their long, storied career. While all manners of genres come into play - from classical and jazz to bluegrass and African music to electric blues and Eastern European folk dances - the result is an impossible to pigeonhole sound all their own, a meeting of musical minds that remains, as ever, utterly indescribable. Simply put, it is The Flecktones, the music made only when these four individuals come together.

Sierra Maestra
Friday, Mar 23,  8:00 PM
Memorial Union - Great Hall
General Public: $26 -- UW-Madison Students w/ ID: $10
Sierra Maestra has played a hugely significant part in the global explosion in popularity of Cuban music. Indeed, their ex-leader, Juan De Marcos González was the man who created Buena Vista Social Club, which included four members of Sierra Maestra. The band has been leading the Cuban music scene ever since the late 1970s. They wer the first group of the modern era to play in the old-style son line-up, which includes tres, guitar, trumpet, bongo, güiro and vocals, just like in the great days of the 1920s and '30s. They have been the pioneers in reviving, and now redefining this style for new generations and reintroducing it into the Cuban mainstream. Named after the mountain range in the eastern part of Cuba, the birthplace of son, Sierra Maestra remain the best in that genre and was nominated for a 2010 Latin Grammy.
