Ella Vos<\/p><\/div>\n

Many singer\/songwriters have nice voices and can sing well but lyrically get mired in the same old topics \u2013 tales of love, stories about their somewhat mundane lives and observations of other people\u2019s conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ella Vos, who is bringing her \u201cWatch and Wait Tour\u201d to the Fillmore Philadelphia (1100 Canal Street, Philadelphia, 215-309-0150, www.thefillmorephilly.com<\/a>) on April 9 is a\u00a0 talented singer\/songwriter with a great voice and the ability to write about topics that are not the norm \u2013 childbirth, post-partum depression and dealing with cancer and the accompanying chemotherapy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vos\u2019 new EP \u2013 \u201cWatch and Wait\u201d — explores her illness and diagnosis with lymphoma through a deeply personal lens. Building on over 1.5 million Spotify monthly listeners, Vos is known for her dreamy soundscape and songwriting that explores postpartum depression, motherhood and love from a fierce feminist perspective.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vos was discovered by Soundcloud surfers in early 2016 on \u201cRolling Dice,\u201d a glitchy EDM track produced by Australian DJ\/producer Just A Gent. The track reached more than 430,00 spins and gained Vos attention from Rolling Stone and The Line of Best Fit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her debut single, \u201cWhite Noise,\u201d a reflection of her personal experiences with motherhood was released in October of 2016. Rolling Stone described it as \u201ca seductive, gauzy, downtempo offering.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The song reached the top of Viral charts within two weeks of its debut. The single, which has over 22-million streams on Spotify, was followed by her highly anticipated full-length debut album, \u201cWords I Never Said,\u201d in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018, she teamed with Icona Pop, V\u00c9RIT\u00c9, and Mija to remix \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know About Me\u201d in support of the ACLU. In 2017 she toured the U.S. and performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. In February 2018 she embarked on the North American \u201cWords I Never Said Tour\u201d with Freya Ridings. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wrote \u2018Watch and Wait\u2019 most of last summer,\u201d said Vos, during a phone interview last week from a tour stop in Dallas, Texas.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was going through cancer treatment. I started writing the day after I came home. I was actually writing lyrics before that when I was in the treatment room.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have lymphoma in my spleen \u2013 low-grade and slow-moving. I\u2019m done the treatment now and I\u2019m in partial remission. Up until a month ago, I was feeling really sick. I was hoping the situation changed before I went on the road.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On this tour, Vos is playing keyboards and singing and is accompanied by Emily Moore on keyboards, guitar, drums and vocals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vos and keyboards have a long history together.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up just outside L.A. in the high desert \u2013 a town near Antelope Valley called Agua Dolce,\u201d said Vos. \u201cNow, I\u2019ve been living in L.A. for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI started playing piano when I was five. I studied classical music. I was obsessed with it. I studied classical piano performance at college \u2013 at Vanguard University, a private Christian school in Orange County. I had great music teachers. My friends kept asking me to play in a band and I didn\u2019t want to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Vos explained what caused her to change her mind \u2013 and change genres.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was working on an audition tape for an East Coast school to get my masters in music there,\u201d said Vos. \u201cI ended up spending the summer in a little beach town called Summerland. Some guys I knew kept messaging me to join their band. They sent me tapes and they were so funny on these tapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn my 21st birthday, I went down to Orange County and jammed with them in their garage. It was such an opposite from what I was used to. None of them knew anything about music theory. It was so fun and relaxing. They liked how my singing voice sounded. This was a breath of fresh air.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a few years, I was really into songwriting, but I was tired of being in a band. I wanted to do my own career. Then, I found out I was pregnant. I was touring with B\u00f8rns until was nine months pregnant and then I had my son Rene. That was four years ago.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Vos left B\u00f8rns and struck out on her own.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI started working with a producer,\u201d said Vos, whose name means \u201cShe You\u201d in Spanish. \u201cI was back in the studio with my son when he was three weeks old. When He was five weeks old, I put out the single \u2018White Noise.\u2019 It was my song about post-partum depression. A couple months after I wrote it, I realized what I was going through.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole first year was an internal struggle about if I could be honest and open. Now, I\u2019ve opened myself up to being honest and vulnerable. I hope people find their own meanings in my songs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMaking the \u2018Words I Never Said\u2019 album was stretched out over 15 months. We\u2019d write a song and put one out every other month. Every song was about something or someone specific in my life and how I felt about it. You can feel the arc of the singles leading up to something.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the path of her life has led up to something new \u2013 the \u201cWatch and Wait\u201d EP which was just released on January 25.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at the Foundry, which has Clara Mae as the opening act, will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $16.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Ella Vos eventually moved away from her classical roots, another act performing in the area on April 9 has members who have been players of classical music all their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Serafin Ensemble<\/p><\/div>\n

On Tuesday night, the University of Delaware<\/a> will present a preview performance of Serafin Ensemble<\/a> at University of Delaware\u2019s Gore Recital Hall (Roselle Center for the Arts, UD campus, 110 Orchard Road, Newark, Delaware, http:\/\/www.serafinensemble.org<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

For the 2019-2020 season, Serafin String Quartet will transition to Serafin Ensemble.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Serafin String Quartet featured Kate Ransom and Lisa Vaupel (violins), Sheila Browne (viola) and Lawrence Stomberg (cello) — all of whom are current or former professors at the University of Delaware. The foursome has been UD\u2019s \u201cQuartet in Residence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Serafin model offers a greater focus on varied chamber music configurations featuring world class artists who specialize in collaborative arts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The highly-acclaimed Serafin Ensemble artists performing on April 9 are Augustine Mercante, countertenor, and Victor Asuncion, piano along with Ransom on violin and Stomberg on cello.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ransom and Stomberg are long-time members of Serafin String Quartet and accomplished musicians based in Delaware with roles at The Music School of Delaware and University of Delaware, respectively. Mercante is an acclaimed soloist, Fulbright Scholar and faculty member of The Music School of Delaware and Wesley College. Asuncion is an internationally acclaimed recitalist, concerto soloist and Steinway artist.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The concert, titled \u201cFrench Connection,\u201d previews Serafin Ensemble artists performing the following collaborative works \u2013 Reynaldo Hahn\u2019s \u201cA Chloris\u201d; C\u00e9sar Franck\u2019s \u201cSonata for Violin and Piano in A Major\u201d; and Ernest Chausson\u2019s \u201cPiano Trio in g minor.\u201d
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Hahn \u201cA Chloris\u201d was composed in 1913 by Reynaldo Hahn. This work interweaves voice into the piano accompaniment creating a lovely piece that combines Baroque style with French m\u00e9lodie. The brief work will be performed in two versions — the original for voice and piano, as well as in a transcription by Anthony Sirianni for violin and piano.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is sung by Augustine with Victor on piana,\u201d said Ransom, during a phone interview last week. \u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful piece in French melodie style \u2013 sweet and lovely. It\u2019s a short piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFranck\u2019s \u2018Sonata for Violin and Piano in A Major\u2019 is a major masterpiece for violin and piano known for its balanced violin and piano parts and for its cyclic form. Franck composed this work as a wedding present for violinist Eug\u00e8ne Ysa\u00ffe. There are four movements depicting various stages of a relationship. It\u2019s a substantial work with four parts that each run from five-to-seven minutes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Chausson\u2019s \u201cPiano Trio in g minor\u201d <\/span><\/a>is a hidden treasure of great beauty and significant craft. The work melds together the rich and virtuosic sounds of piano with dynamic sounds of violin and cello and possesses penchant for the cyclic form known of his mentor and friend C\u00e9sar Franck.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a new piece for all of us,\u201d said Ransom. \u201cWe\u2019re so excited to be playing it \u2013 and sharing it with our audience. It is beautiful romantic music that shows Chausson\u2019s light fare — and his pathos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The concert is a preview of \u201cSerafin Summer Music,\u201d which will run from June 20-30 at The Music School of Delaware in partnership with The University of Delaware Department of Music with sponsorship by William J. Stegeman, Ph.D.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be eight concerts in two weeks,\u201d said Ransom. \u201cThe concerts will feature 18 accomplished artists \u2013 strings, piano and voice. There will be a lot of variety \u2013 duos, trios, quartets, quintets and sextets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Video link for Serafin String Quartet — https:\/\/youtu.be\/rcs4SoAOpnA<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at University of Delaware\u2019s Gore Recital Hall will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, UD staff and alumni, and $5 for students.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Doobie Brothers<\/p><\/div>\n

When the Doobie Brothers take the stage at the American Music Theatre (2425 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, 800-648-4102, www.AMTshows.com<\/a>) on April 10, fans can be sure that they are getting the real thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

So often, when bands that were popular in the 1960s and 1970s tour, their links to the original hit-making lineup are weak \u2013 at times virtually non-existent\u2026e.g. the Impressions with no original members or the Yardbirds with just the original drummer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Doobie Brothers’ long career can be broken into three parts: pre-Michael McDonald era, the Michael McDonald era and post-Michael McDonald era.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to McDonald joining the group in 1975, the Doobies were a power-chord rocking band best known for \u201cLong Train Runnin\u2019\u201d and \u201cBlack Water.\u201d After McDonald joined, they became one of the biggest pop groups in the world with a Number One song (\u201cWhat a Fool Believes\u201d) and a Number one album (\u201cMinute by Minute\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Numerous members over the years have included guitarists and singers Patrick Simmons and Tom Johnston, who have anchored the band before and after McDonald. After breaking up in 1983, they got back together in 1988 and have been around ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n

The current line-up features Patrick Simmons \u2013 Guitars\/Vocals; Tom Johnston \u2013 Guitars\/Vocals; John McFee \u2013 Guitars, Pedal Steel, Dobro, Fiddle, Vocals; Bill Payne \u2013 Keyboards; Marc Russo \u2013 Saxophone; Ed Toth \u2013 Drums; and John Cowan \u2013 Bass\/Vocals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPat and I are original members,\u201d said Johnston, during a phone interview last week from his home in Marin County, California.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in the band the whole time except for a period from 1982-1987. I did solo work from 1977-1987 and had a few solo albums.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI left the Doobie Brothers because I was just burned out from all the touring. From 1972-1982, we were doing well over 200 shows a year. I also had an ulcer problem. I came back to the band after it healed up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnston joined the Doobie Brothers when they reunited for a brief tour in 1987 to benefit The National Veterans Foundation. This event led to the permanent reformation of the band, with Johnston again performing alongside co-founder Simmons. Johnston co-wrote, sang and contributed a signature guitar solo to the group’s last major chart hit, \u201cThe Doctor\u201d from 1998\u2019s \u201cCycles\u201d album.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe came back in 1987 for the Vietnam veterans show,\u201d said Johnston. \u201cIn 1989, the original configuration got back together. We released the \u2018Cycles\u2019 album and the \u2018Brotherhood\u2019 album on Capitol Records. Everything before that had been on Warner Bros. Records.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLast November, we did two full albums each night \u2013 \u2018Toulouse Street\u2019 and \u2018The Captain and Me\u2019 in their entirety at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. We had never done that before. The songs were sequenced as they originally were on the albums. It was a lot of work but it was also a lot of fun. A CD and a DVD from the shows will be out in June.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When they started in Northern California in the late 1960s, The Doobie Brothers\u2019 rugged, real and authentic approach to rock and roll made them biker bar stalwarts. But their self-titled debut album in \u201971 went beyond just leather and motorcycles, revealing even more musical layers — sweet three-part harmonies and rootsy, introspective, acoustic flavors.
\nIt all began in 1969, when a drummer named John Hartman arrived in Northern California. He was there to meet Skip Spence from the band Moby Grape and become part of a supposed band reunion that never quite got off the ground. But it wasn\u2019t all for naught.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spence (who had also played in the Jefferson Airplane) introduced Hartman to his friend Tom Johnston, a local singer\/songwriter\/guitarist, and they connected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hartman and Johnston began playing local Bay Area bars. They soon met singer\/guitarist Pat Simmons, whose finger-style playing richly complimented Johnston\u2019s R&B strumming-style, and the foundation for The Doobie Brothers was set.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us in that time were huge Moby Grape fans,\u201d said Johnston. \u201cI was doing a show with Skip when I met Pat.\u201d
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Doobie Brothers\u2019\u2019 debut album in 1971 did not chart. But one year later, their second record, \u201cToulouse Street,\u201d became a breakout sensation. Producer Ted Templeman helped the band craft a sound that was organic, yet radio friendly, and brought in Little Feat keyboardist Bill Payne to add unique musical textures. Payne is now a member of the 2019 edition of the Doobie Brothers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Doobies established themselves with a breathtaking run of hits on Warner Bros. Records including \u00a0\u201cListen to the Music,\u201d \u201cJesus is Just Alright,\u201d \u201cChina Grove,\u201d \u201cBlack Water,\u201d \u201cRockin\u2019 Down the Highway,\u201d and \u201cLong Train Runnin\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1974, Steely Dan co-lead guitarist and session legend Jeff \u201cSkunk\u201d Baxter joined the band as third guitarist. The group\u2019s expanded lineup was augmented in 1975 by Michael McDonald, whose soulful vocals and songwriting led to the hits \u201cWhat a Fool Believes,\u201d \u201cMinute by Minute,\u201d \u201cTakin\u2019 It To The Streets,\u201d and \u201cYou Belong To Me.\u201d Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, John McFee, joined in 1978 bringing his wide range of musical styles and experience recording with Van Morrison, Steve Miller, Elvis Costello, and The Grateful Dead to The Doobies\u2019 sound.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing to record, The Doobies released \u201cWorld Gone Crazy\u201d in 2010, produced by Ted Templeman, and \u201cSouthbound\u201d on Arista Nashville in 2014. \u201cSouthbound,\u201d produced by David Huff, featured new recordings of the band\u2019s iconic hits, with country music\u2019s biggest stars including Blake Shelton, Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, and Toby Keith.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Doobie Brothers were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004, have won four GRAMMY\u00ae Awards and sold more than 48 million records worldwide (including three multi-platinum, seven platinum, and 14 gold albums). Their 1976 \u201cBest of the Doobies\u201d has sold more than 12 million copies, earning rare RIAA Diamond status. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to Johnston, \u201cWe\u2019re basically an American band \u2013 we cover a lot of areas. We cover blues, R&B, country, bluegrass, and rock-and-roll. It\u2019s based on rhythms, rhythm structures, picking, and harmonies. That\u2019s been the signature of the band.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPat comes from a folk\/blues background, with a lot of picking and stuff like that. He was a big fan of Rev. Gary Davis and Dave Van Ronk. I come from a blues, soul, R&B, and rock-and-roll background. Then you stick John McFee into that mix. John came from a country background when he started out and was in the country band Southern Pacific.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Their music has proven to be relatable for generations since they first came together, which is why they continue to make new music.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe just did five songs for a new EP,\u201d said Johnston. \u201cIt\u2019s really interesting. It\u2019s very different from what we\u2019ve done before \u2013 and it sounds really good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at to the American Music Theatre will start at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices are — Tier 1: $135; Tier 2: $125; Tier 3: $115.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two bands playing the area on April 10 are at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to longevity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Doobie Brothers will soon be celebrating their 50th anniversary. Juice, which is headlining a show at the World Caf\u00e9 Live (3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, 215-222-1400, www.worldcafelive.com<\/a>), just celebrated its fifth anniversary.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Juice<\/p><\/div>\n

Juice is an American rock band formed in Boston<\/a>, Massachusetts<\/a> in 2013. The band consists of Ben Stevens (lead vocals), Christian Rose (violin, vocals), Kamau Burton (acoustic guitar, vocals), Daniel Moss (guitar), Michael Ricciardulli (guitar), Rami El-Abidin (bass), Miles Clyatt (drums). Juice draws from many influences, including rock, pop, hip-hop, and R&B.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe first met at Boston College,\u201d said Moss, during a phone interview last week during a tour stop in Charlotte, North Carolina. \u201cWe were all in the same year. Me, Ben and Mike were on the same floor in a dorm. The other guys were together in another dorm on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was kind of a stroke of luck \u2013 same year, same lodging. We had a couple guys who were minoring in music but no music majors. I lived with the drummer and we found our violin player on Facebook. We slowly just found each other. There\u2019s not a lot of music at B.C. so most musicians knew each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are seven guys in the band now and six are originals. Our first bass player \u2013 Jack Godfrey \u2013 was an exchange student from England and he went home after his time studying here. Rami El-Abidin, our current bass player, joined the second year. He\u2019s two years older than the rest of us. Our original pianist Chris Vu left about a year-and-a-half ago to go to grad school.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While in college, the members of Juice performed regularly in Boston and New York City. In 2016, Juice released a self-titled EP after a successful crowd-funding campaign. In July 2106, Juice won the \u201cLand the Big Gig Competition at Summerfest\u201d in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the big annual festival in the land of cheese, the band was introduced to producer Johnny K, who invited the band to record an EP the following summer. Juice released its debut EP, \u201cWorkin\u2019 on Lovin\u2019,\u201d in June 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

Juice blends several genres, including rock, pop, hip-hop, and R&B. \u00a0Each member draws on a diverse array of influences. With three vocalists, Juice is known to incorporate elaborate harmonies. Juice also incorporates extended electric violin and guitar solos in their live performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHip-hop has always been something ingrained in us,\u201d said Moss. \u201cChristian is the rapper in the group.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Through constant gigging Juice honed their live performance, displaying an original raw energy. Soon, Juice went from frequent gigs at the city\u2019s famed Middle East to selling out East Coast hotspots such as Brighton Music Hall, Mercury Lounge, Rockwood Music Hall, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first started, our first 10 shows were around the campus,\u201d said Moss, a native of Milwaukee. \u201cThe Middle East club in Boston was our first off-campus gig. We caught the eye of a promoter in Boston and within a year-and-a-half, we were going down to New York City for shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA big part of our appeal is our live shows. We have a reputation for putting on good live shows. When we can share our songs live, it energizes fans\u2019 attention spans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
