Captain Jack & The Strangers: A Tribute to Billy Joel
Sat, Apr 5 @ 7:30 PM
Captain Jack & The Strangers: A Tribute to Billy Joel
Jonathan's Ogunquit
Captain Jack & The Strangers, comprised of six individuals hailing from Gloucester, MA with over 30 years of experience in music and performance. The band is fronted by 26-year-old piano phenom, Jack Favazza, who brings a youthful exuberance to this classic American songbook. This group plays a wide catalogue of music from America's own Piano Man, Billy Joel, spanning his entire musical career from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Playing both well-known hits, alongside of b-side fan favorites, there are surely songs to appease any audience member. With a long-standing passion for the music of Billy Joel, the band formed in late 2022, after founding members had seen a performance of Billy at the legendary Fenway Park in Boston, MA during the summer of that same year. That performance solidified the decision to perform Billy Joel's music to as many people as possible. Gloucester has a long history of talented artists, and Captain Jack & The Strangers is no different. A local "supergroup" of musicians from well-known acts such as Groove Therapy, The Spynz, Mystery Meat, and the Neon 90's have formed this group to bring you the high energy, soft somber moments, and everything in between that Billy Joel is so well known for. Listening to any song at a show will surely invoke your favorite memories and emotions when you hear a specific Billy Joel song done in a way that only Captain Jack & The Strangers can do.

Lori McKenna
Jonathan's Ogunquit
From her home base in Boston, Lori McKenna has carved out an enviable niche for herself as one of Nashville's most in-demand songwriters, all while maintaining a prolific and remarkably consistent career as a solo artist. The release of her anticipated album, 1988, adds to a series of landmark years for McKenna and follows three widely acclaimed albums: 2016’s The Bird & The Rifle, 2018’s The Tree and 2020’s The Balladeer, of which the Associated Press praised, “McKenna has by now long established herself as one of the best songwriters working in any genre. And she does it again and again,” while The Tennessean asserted, “one of the sharpest pens in modern country and folk songwriting.” In addition to her career as a solo artist, McKenna continues to enjoy success as one of the music industry’s most in-demand songwriters. In 2023, she was nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Song for co-writing “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault),” performed by Taylor Swift. In 2017, McKenna became the first woman to win the Academy of Country Music’s Songwriter of the Year award and the first woman to win the Country Music Association’s Song of the Year award two years in a row. She also won back-to-back Grammys for Best Country Song: for “Girl Crush,” performed by Little Big Town, in 2016 and “Humble and Kind,” performed by Tim McGraw, in 2017. In 2021, McKenna won her third Best Country Song Grammy for co-writing “Crowded Table,” performed by the Highwomen, with Brandi Carlile and Natalie Hemby. In addition to writing songs for a multitude of award-winning artists — including Hunter Hayes, Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood — McKenna also co-wrote “Always Remember Us This Way,” which was featured in the Oscar-winning 2018 film “A Star Is Born.” This time around, Lori will be playing with her full band including:  Mark Erelli, Jamie Edwards, Paul Kochanski, and John Sands!
The Yardbirds
Fri, Apr 11 @ 8:00 PM
The Yardbirds
Jonathan's Ogunquit
The Yardbirds return to the U.S. with a new show featuring all the hits delivered by the dynamic, legendary 5-piece band led by founder Jim McCarty (drums, vocals). This blistering ensemble brings with them an exciting multimedia infusion of songs and stories that draw back the curtain on the history of one of rock music’s most influential and important groups. "For Your Love," “Shapes of Things,” “Heart Full of Soul,” "Over Under Sideways Down" and "I'm a Man," are among the Yardbirds’ worldwide smash hits, but their recorded work includes Blues staples such as "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl” and "I Wish You Would” and Mose Allison tune "I'm Not Talkin’." McCarty and the band put the spotlight on the creative fire that exploded when Top Topham, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page held the guitar chair and joined with Jim and lead vocalist Keith Relf, bassist Paul-Samwell Smith, rhythm guitarist and bassist Chris Dreja to build an unparalleled legacy of music. From the early moments of “Smokestack Lightning” to the latter days when Jim McCarty brought “Dazed and Confused” into the band’s repertoire—obviously to the delight of Jimmy Page!-- today’s Yardbirds -- Godfrey Townsend on lead guitar (John Entwistle, Happy Together Tour), Kenny Aaronson on bass (Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Rick Derringer), Myke Scavone on Blues harp (Ram Jam, Doughboys), lead singer and guitarist John Idan (30 years with the Yardbirds) and founder, vocalist, songwriter, storyteller and drummer Jim McCarty — bring the authentic sound and story of the Yardbirds to the stage!
