SUMMARY:Destroyer (solo)
DESCRIPTION:DSP Shows Presents: Destroyer (solo)\nMonday\, September 28 @ 8pm\nTickets: On Sale Friday\, July 17 \nMRG869 Destroyer — Dan’s Boogie \nWhat is a “boogie”? In the common tongue\, it’s a dance or an occasion to dance\, a song or a shindig\, an incitement to move\, quickly\, whether it’s on the floor or out of town\, getting down or lying low. This being a Destroyer album and not the common tongue\, the implications of a title like Dan’s Boogie are at once more alluring and dangerous. “A boogie is a hustle\, a scam that doesn’t quite work\, the moves we make when we’re up against it\,” explains Dan Bejar. “I think of spy work\, double agents\, sleeping with one eye open\, an eye on the exits. But I also think of petty street-level victories and losses and improv.” \nDan’s Boogie is a breakthrough album for Destroyer\, both in the sense that it makes moves that no Destroyer album to this point has made\, and in the sense that\, to record it\, Bejar had to burst through a series of intentional and unintentional barriers to write the songs. Initially challenging himself to not write songs so the ideas would well up inside of him until they breached containment\, the months following the completion of LABYRINTHITIS turned into one year then two\, at which point Bejar gave himself a New Year’s resolution to play the piano every day for an hour. That lasted about four days\, but the songs Bejar credits as coming from that resolution—“Cataract Time\,” “Hydroplaning Off the Edge of the World\,” “Bologna\,” and “Dan’s Boogie” among them—are all-timer Destroyer songs across the vast spectrum Bejar and his collaborators have established for themselves: spectacle-laden pop epics\, personal piano ballads\, and smouldering works of mood that blur the lines between song and novel and cinema\, each brimming with the urgency of a state secret in the mind of a tortured spy.  \nLead single “Bologna” is the most radical frame for this energy\, as it’s the first time Bejar wrote a song where he imagined himself as a supporting character. Taking lead is Fiver’s Simone Schmidt\, whose voice—tough and expressive\, piercing through the murk of the scene—is a siren’s call that haunts the album. The gravity of their voice pulls Dan’s Boogie into order around a sense of impending doom\, the way a fatale’s promise of the unusual and the ecstatic dooms the principal character of an erotic thriller.   \n“Hydroplaning Off the Edge of the World” is a delicious bit of contradiction\, a peppy song that came out of the havoc Bejar was intentionally wreaking on himself—its holiday cheeriness making the angst of its lyrics go down smoothly until the song veers off the road. “We are now entering a new phase\,” Bejar intones\, introducing layers of guitar and synthesizer that considerably darken the palette as he alternates between singing and speaking. The lyrics and vocals are improvised\, invented as Bejar recorded the demo in his garage—a manic stream-of-consciousness and simultaneously exquisite display of his songwriting mastery. \nContradiction informs much of Dan’s Boogie\, the fog swirling around Bejar illuminated by the friction between competing truths and tastes\, as when his interest in jazzy ballads runs aground on producer and bassist John Collins’ interest in bands like Led Zeppelin and Scritti Politti. When Bejar told Collins that he was thinking of Sammy Davis Jr.\, the title track bloomed into being\, Bejar adopting a Rat Pack swagger with almost delusional glee against a dreamy soundscape of soaring guitars\, lush horns\, jazz drumming\, spaced-out synths\, and\, perhaps truest to how Bejar sees himself\, plinking lounge piano.   \nIn terms of shaping sound\, the centerpiece of Dan’s Boogie may be “Cataract Time\,” an eight-minute epic that ranks as some of the heaviest lyrics Bejar has ever written\, and one of Destroyer’s most musically intricate compositions. Borne aloft on an easygoing groove\, Bejar’s lyrics—“a reckoning\, a dressing down” as he describes them—are transfigured\, their melancholy tasting almost counterintuitively like hope. It’s an intimate song that puts away Destroyer’s usual urban fable milieu in exchange for bracing interiority\, but its lilting groove can see a future\, one that Bejar and his band are eager to meet. \nIt is\, to use Bejar’s phrase\, the kind of song you make when you’re up against it\, when it seems as if the world is crashing down upon you. And therein lies the album’s most radical shift: Where previous Destroyer albums were locked in combat with the world\, Dan’s Boogie dances with it\, its nine reveries coalescing into one long hustle. Dan Bejar’s eye may be on the exits\, but he’s not leaving anytime soon.

SUMMARY:The Pomarium
DESCRIPTION:Hangar Theatre’s In Flight Entertainment Series Presents:\nThe Pomarium\nDrag Show Hosted by Tilia Cordata\nFriday\, September 25 @ 7:30 pm\nTickets: $20 (seating is general admission for this performance) \nAn immersive drag spectacular inspired by the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan—the birthplace of the modern apple. \nStep into the ancient orchard where myth\, magic\, and drag first took root. \nThe Pomarium is an immersive drag spectacular inspired by the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan—the birthplace of the modern apple (Malus sieversii)—where towering trees have flourished for millions of years and legends have taken root alongside them. From this primordial forest\, the humble apple began a journey that would shape civilizations\, inspire folklore\, and become one of history’s most enduring symbols. \nThroughout the evening\, performers will guide you through a living orchard of stories\, drawing on myths and legends from around the world. Encounter the forbidden fruit of Eden\, the golden apples of the Hesperides\, the Apple of Discord that sparked the Trojan War\, the enchanted isle of Avalon\, Snow White’s poisoned temptation\, and countless other tales where apples represent love\, temptation\, beauty\, immortality\, transformation\, and fate. \nBlending high-concept drag\, dazzling costumes\, music\, comedy\, and theatrical storytelling\, The Pomarium celebrates the apple not simply as a fruit\, but as a cultural icon whose roots stretch from the forests of Central Asia to every corner of the globe. Like the apple itself\, drag is an act of cultivation—grafted from history\, nourished by community\, and forever evolving into something unexpected and beautiful. \nJoin us beneath the branches for a night where science meets folklore\, history blossoms into fantasy\, and every performance bears forbidden fruit.

SUMMARY:Eureka Day
DESCRIPTION:Eureka Day\nBy Jonathan Spector\nWinner of the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival \nJuly 25–August 2 \nAt Eureka Day School in Berkeley\, California\, all decisions are made by consensus\, diversity of opinion is valued\, and vaccinations are a personal matter.

SUMMARY:The Steel Wheels
DESCRIPTION:DSP Shows Presents: The Steel Wheels\nSaturday\, May 2 @ 8 pm\nTickets: On Sale Friday\, January 16 \nNote: The Hangar Theatre Box Office does not handle ticketing for DSP Shows. If you have questions or need assistance with ticketing\, please contact them directly: info@dspshows.com or 607-280-2900. \n20 years is a long time to spend doing anything at all. It’s an age for any group of people to sustain a collective effort. For a band on the road\, 20 years can be more than a lifetime. Yet\, after 2 decades of making music together in living rooms\, listening rooms\, clubs\, theaters\, and festival stages\, The Steel Wheels are still growing\, still pushing\, still at it\, and they’re marking the occasion with the release of their 9th studio album\, “The Steel Wheels”. \nFollowing the release of “Sideways” in 2024\, their 3rd record with producer Sam Kassirer at his Great North Sound Society studio in interior Maine\, the band felt it was time for a change of scene. As the group began to select songs for a new album\, they also had to find an answer to the question of where they would get down to the work of record-making. They didn’t know that answer was going to knock on their back door. \nAt the band’s 2024 Red Wing Roots festival\, held each summer near the group’s home base of Harrisonburg\, VA\, banjo player and songwriter Trent Wagler spied producer and engineer D. James Goodwin (Goose\, Bonny Light Horseman\, I’m With Her) in the crowd and later reached out to learn what he was doing so far from his home turf of New York. It happened that Goodwin\, who mixed the band’s 2019 album “Over The Trees”\, had just pulled up stakes for the Shenandoah Valley and was setting up a new studio on the band’s doorstep. Several months and one video call later\, Wagler\, fiddler Eric Brubaker\, multi-instrumentalist Jay Lapp\, drummer/percussionist Kevin Garcia\, and bass\nplayer Jeremy Darrow gathered in the new space\, The Isokon\, snug against the snowy Virginia winter\, to begin recording their next album. \nThe process that Goodwin cultivated was fluid and swift. Demo listening in the morning flowed into tracking the whole band live in one room. The session was punctuated by peals of laughter and occasional tears as the group kept themselves in the moment\, leaning in to every emotion and embracing that vulnerability. As they worked\, the music took shape in the moment\, right in front of the microphones\, each participant listening and responding as the songs flickered to life. By dinner time the songs of the day were complete and talk moved to the next day’s work. \nThe album that resulted from this process captures the multifaceted band in full-flight\, pivoting effortlessly between the folk rock band they’ve grown into over 20 years\, and the harmony-centric acoustic ensemble that they’ve been since the beginning.The band puts their impressive range on display throughout “The Steel Wheels”; energy\, insight\, and humor\, balance with tender\, highly personal moments of masterful restraint and expression as the album unfolds. As ever\, the band challenges themselves to find new ways through the music\, using space and\, at moments\, reinventing their approach to the string band format. \nAs usual\, Wagler’s keen lyrics provide insight by posing big questions. At first blush “Easy” sounds like the song of the summer\, but a deeper listen asks the audience to consider whether it’s worth the cost to have the world waiting for us on the other side of our screens. “Everything is easy”\, but is it really? \nBeyond our glowing devices “Go Back” studies the complexity of our relationships and the time we spend with those close to us. It’s easy to say that we must take the bad with the good\, it’s a challenge to seek to understand how our joy and sadness are entwined; that they are not opposing feelings\, but sibling emotions. \n“Keep On Dancing” offers the listener a greater challenge; to take a step back from distraction and our self-imposed tasks\, to look beyond the static of the day\, and to see the beauty all around us. The song gently implores us to take a breath and be still so that we can glimpse the things that are actually important. \nThe Steel Wheels have kept their stride for longer than most bands survive. After 20 years hard at work “The Steel Wheels” is an album of creative maturity with a restless sense of adventure. Here’s to 20 more.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Driftwood
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Driftwood\nFriday\, April 24 @ 7:30 pm\nTickets: $25 in advance / $30 at the door \nMusic has guided Driftwood to hallowed ground many times since its founding members\, Joe Kollar and Dan Forsyth\, started making music as high schoolers in Joe’s parents’ basement. Whether the Upstate New York folk rock group—which today also includes violinist Claire Byrne\, bassist Joey Arcuri\, and drummer Sam Fishman—are converting new fans on a hardscrabble tour across the country or playing to a devoted crowd at hero Levon Helm’s Woodstock barn\, the band’s shapeshifting approach to folk music continues to break new ground. And yet in many ways Driftwood’s latest work\, the transformative December Last Call\, finds the group coming home.  \nRecorded in that very same basement where the Driftwood dream began\, December Last Call lyrically reflects on the recent past\, musing on the ways the group grew up\, together and apart\, through curveballs like new parenthood or pandemic shutdowns. But sonically\, the band’s sixth album looks confidently to the future\, experimenting with new sounds while staying true to the bluegrass roots that built them. Across the album’s nine tracks\, the band often leans into hard-rocking electric guitars and driving percussion: On “Every Which Way But Loose\,” we get a foot-tapping beat and a sweeping chorus\, and on “Up All Night Blues\,” the band shines with an ambling\, sing-along-able reflection on the challenges of new motherhood. But other tracks\, like standout closer “Stardust\,” take a simpler route\, allowing bare-bones vocals and acoustic instrumentals to underpin a deeper emotional message. \nOne of Driftwood’s biggest differentiators—and perhaps its biggest strength—is the sheer breadth of talent in its lineup\, with Claire\, Joe\, and Dan all contributing as songwriters and vocalists. This creative push-pull\, where each selects songs to share with the group and record together\, bakes vulnerability and collaborative spirit into every recording. “It’s at the heart of what we do\,” says Dan. “Everybody has a strong love for songs\, for songwriting\, and we each appreciate everybody else and the way that they contribute to that.”  \nWhile 2019’s acclaimed Tree of Shade tapped Simon Felice as producer\, the band opted to self-produce this latest effort\, leaning into their creative impulses and striving to capture their distinctive live energy. Figuring out how to channel that on-stage intensity into a recording has actually\, in many ways\, been a lesson in restraint. “When I look back at the things we were writing and playing\, oh\, I don’t know\, 10\, 12 years ago\, they were really arranged: a lot of you do this here\, we’re going to do this there\, we’re going to break down\, we’re going to do a big build\,” Claire explains. “These days\, it’s more like\, ‘Let’s play the song and just see what happens.’” \nThis approach makes all the more sense when you consider Driftwood’s live shows\, which operate not only as effervescent\, twang-studded musical parties\, but also as reunions for their throng of devoted listeners—folks who have started to feel less like fans and more like something bigger. “They’re supporters. They’re friends\,” explains Joe. “It’s crazy how much love we’ve got and how many wild situations on the road we’ve gotten out of because of those people.” Many of them are quite literally invested in the band’s future: December Last Call was a crowd-funded effort\, and it wasn’t the band’s first. It’s as if every listener\, ticketbuyer\, album backer\, and general band evangelist is in on Driftwood’s biggest secret: this whole band thing has endured for nearly two decades because it offers a kind of community you can’t get just anywhere. \n“Driftwood is basically a beautiful friendship that happens to play music together\,” says Joe. “I know it’s rare. I know I’m lucky to know these people and lean on them and go through these massive life changes together.” For Driftwood\, each song is like a journal entry: cathartic to create\, yes\, but capable of unlocking new lessons—and when shared—forging new bonds. “We’re communal\, right? Humans need to be connected\,” Joe says. “And we get to have this special thing.”

It’s just so fun.\nIlan: Anybody I teach improv to already knows my favorite thing about improv is the love. When I improvise\, I’m always looking for new ways to love what my scene partner is doing\, as myself or as my character. The best thing about performing with Gavin is I already love him! We’re pretty in sync already as regular people. We know each other’s references\, we can tell what the other person is going for in regular conversation. Having the chance to move that chemistry onstage is pretty special.\n \nWhat should audiences expect from the show?\nGavin: Oh I have no idea. Maybe we’ll be sci-fi space guys? Or bugs or something? The only thing I know for sure is you’re going to have a blast and so will we.\nIlan: Expect to laugh. If you’ve seen improv before\, you haven’t seen it like this. We’ll take a single suggestion from the audience and turn it into an hour-long show. There might be new worlds\, lots of characters\, romance\, drama. Or the whole story might be two guys just waiting for the bus. Either way\, I guarantee you will laugh. Laugh at us\, laugh with us\, it doesn’t matter! \nWill you be offering more improv classes in Ithaca?\nIlan: As long as the Hangar partners with me on these classes\, I’ll keep offering them! We have an amazing crop of students right now in our 101 and 201 classes\, with class shows of their own coming soon. If you are interested in classes\, reach out to the Hangar or to me at ilanjkaplan@gmail.com \n  \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Close to You
DESCRIPTION:Hangar Theatre’s In Flight Entertainment series presents \nLisa Rock in \nClose to You: The Music of the Carpenters\nSaturday\, March 7 @ 7:30 pm\nTickets: $35 \nConsidered one of the best vocalists of all time\, Karen Carpenter captured the attention of a generation with her unabashedly catchy pop music. The Carpenters’ beautiful\, memorable love songs topped the Billboard charts with more than a dozen number one hits. Now singer Lisa Rock and her 6-piece band are bringing the music of The Carpenters back to the stage with their spot-on renditions of Carpenters classics with Close to You: The Music of The Carpenters. \nLisa Rock\, a singer as well as a playwright\, has been performing to sold-out crowds for years. She’s written more than 30 original concerts and cabarets that have been seen across the country. Now\, Rock has arranged a 6-piece band\, complete with back-up singers\, and together they are dedicated to creating a Carpenters experience like no other. Rock’s amazing four octave range allows her to sing the hits like “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rainy Days and Mondays” in their original key\, keeping the songs genuine and more recognizable for the audience. “When she hits the lower range of her marvelous voice\,” notes critic Alan Bresloff\, “if you close your eyes\, you can see Karen Carpenter’s face.” \nBut Rock goes beyond the music in her concert. She draws the crowd in with anecdotes about Karen Carpenter\, her life and how some of the songs originated. Rock engages the audience to the point where they can’t help but sing along with her and share the memories of The Carpenters and their music. \n“An amazing night of music\,” Jim Jarvis\, Metropolis Executive Director said. “The sold-out crowd was singing along to nearly every song and gave Lisa and the band an immediate standing ovation. I must have had at least 40 patrons thank me for booking this show and asking when Lisa would be back. This is truly a rare gem of a show.”

SUMMARY:DSP Shows: Jonatha Brooke
DESCRIPTION:DSP Shows: An Evening with Jonatha Brooke\nSaturday\, February 28 @ 8 pm\nTickets: $35–45\, on sale Friday\, December 19 \nJonatha Brooke is what happens when literate songwriting meets fearless innovation\, a\nsingular voice in modern music whose work is as much chamber poetry as it is folk-pop.\nTrained in the rigor of classical composition yet born with a Broadway-bound belt and a\nnovelist’s eye for character\, she weaves deeply personal narratives with a rare melodic\nsophistication. From her early days with The Story to her solo triumphs\, Brooke has\nquietly carved a niche where the emotional intelligence of Joni Mitchell meets the\nmusical wit of Stephen Sondheim\, all wrapped in a voice that aches\, sparkles\, and\nsoars\, often within the same phrase. \nA true interdisciplinary artist\, Brooke has not only penned a poignant\, one-woman\nmusical (“My Mother Has 4 Noses”)\, but she has also collaborated with luminaries like\nKaty Perry\, Joe Sample\, and the late Woody Guthrie\, whose unpublished lyrics she set\nto music with the reverence of a curator and the daring of a jazz improviser. Whether\ncommanding a stage with nothing but a guitar and a spotlight or orchestrating a lush\nstudio album\, Jonatha Brooke is never simply performing; she is sculpting emotion in\nmidair\, conjuring stories that linger like the final notes of a well-loved sonata. \n  \nNote: The Hangar Theatre Box Office does not handle ticketing for DSP Shows. If you have questions or need assistance with ticketing\, please contact them directly: info@dspshows.com or 607-280-2900.
