Today’s performer: Eleanor Levine Trio

Eleanor Levine Trio consists of singer/songwriter/guitarist Eleanor Levine and co-singers Diana Galeano-Bazzeghin and Madeline Levine. Eleanor has been writing music for almost two decades, performing with her group on Massachusetts stages including MASS MoCA, The Drake, Hawks and Reed Performing Arts Center as well as New York City venues, The Bowery Electric and Arlene’s Grocery. Her original music centers around alternative tunings, rhythmic plucking patterns, coded lyrics, and bright vocal melodies. She mostly takes inspiration from ‘60s and ‘70s songwriters like Paul Simon, Nick Drake, Laura Nyro, John Sebastian, and Joni Mitchell, as well as Elliott Smith, Belle & Sebastian, The Shins, and R.E.M. In addition to their originals, the trio performs a mix of covers, ranging from '60s folk songs to modern pop hits.

Tuba Skinny Live @ Black Birch Vineyard

presented by Signature sounds presents

TIX: $39 ADV // $45 Door

TICKETS

For over a decade Tuba Skinny has grown steadily in popularity, releasing twelve albums and touring all over the world. They’ve attracted a wide variety of fans- young and old, neophytes and niche-enthusiasts- with the strength of their musicianship and the scope of their jazz and American roots music catalog.

While they’ve become known as world-class interpreters of traditional jazz, over the years they’ve branched out into jug band music, spirituals, country blues, string band music, ragtime, and New Orleans R&B. Their approach is a true reflection of Americana, encompassing the full genealogy of popular American music from an early 20th century perspective.

Despite a general lack of interest in social media and a limited release of their music online, they’ve amassed an enthusiastic digital following.

After a decade of playing (mostly) other artist’s songs, Tuba Skinny decided to fulfill a long-time dream with the release of Magnolia Stroll- their first album of all-original tunes. Featuring compositions from Erika, Shaye, Robin, Barnabus, Craig, and Max, it is their love song to all the musicians, living and dead, who have inspired them, as well as to the neighborhoods of New Orleans that have nurtured them.

Heather Maloney Live @ Black Birch Vineyard

presented by Signature sounds presents

TIX: $35 ADV // $40 Door

TICKETS

Massachusetts-based “writer song-singer” Heather Maloney found music in the midst of three years at a meditation center, honing a sound moored in days of silent reflection and reverence for storytellers like Joni, Rilke, Ken Burns, and the anonymous authors of Zen parables. While she eventually traded the quiet, structured life of a yogi for the kinetic life of a touring musician, the core of her songwriting has remained centered around same curiosity about our inner world and the desire to articulate it through storytelling.

With over 1,000 international shows and 8 studio albums under her belt, she is now on the brink of releasing her 9th and most personal record to date, “Exploding Star” (out January 31, 2025). Written in the wake of her father’s death, “Exploding Star” is a collection of 12 songs that Maloney originally had no intentions of recording or releasing until some of her closest friends and family convinced her otherwise.

From tracking for 2 days in her abandoned childhood home, to playing her father’s guitar throughout the record, “Exploding Star” is packed with the sonic, lyrical and emotional details of a life story — and the result is something celebratory and heartbreaking all at once.

With production from Darlingside’s Don Mitchell and arrangements from High Tea’s Isabella DeHerdt and Isaac Eliot, “Exploding Star” is a dynamic listening experience that moves thoughtfully through landscapes that range from lush to sparse — sometimes driving, urgent and cathartic and other times quiet, tremulous and reflective — but always woven together with lyricism that bravely and articulately explores both the darkest depths and the unexpected moments of lightness that grief can bring.
