SUMMARY:Skye Consort & Emma Björling
DESCRIPTION:International ensemble Skye Consort & Emma Björling will bring an adventurous blend of Scandinavian\, Celtic and French-Canadian traditional music to Ca d’Zan House Concerts in Cambridge on Sunday\, September 27. \nPresented by Crossroads Cultural Connections\, the all-ages evening will begin with an optional potluck dinner at 6 p.m.\, followed by the concert at 7 p.m. Guests who would like to participate in the potluck are invited to bring a dish to share. \nFeaturing acclaimed musicians from Canada and Sweden\, Skye Consort & Emma Björling draws from the traditional music of Scandinavia\, Ireland\, the British Isles and French Canada while adding original compositions and contemporary chamber-folk arrangements. \nThe group’s distinctive instrumentation includes voices\, fiddle\, nyckelharpa\, cello\, bouzouki\, banjo and percussion. Together\, the musicians move between whirling Scandinavian polskas\, lively reels\, passionate love songs\, breathtaking hymns and original works\, creating music firmly connected to tradition while sounding entirely their own. \nThe collaboration began almost by accident in Montréal in 2017. Skye Consort and Swedish vocalist Emma Björling met while working together on a project with La Nef. As Björling prepared to return home\, a major storm in Iceland canceled flights between North America and Europe. The musicians suddenly found themselves with several unexpected days together and spent the time listening to tunes\, jamming and joking about starting a band. By the time Björling was finally able to return to Sweden\, the band was no longer a joke—it had become a reality. \nBjörling is an award-winning Swedish singer\, composer and arranger who performs with renowned Scandinavian ensembles including Kongero and Lyy. She has toured internationally\, teaches at Framnäs College and leads workshops around the world. \nSeán Dagher contributes lead vocals\, Irish bouzouki and banjo. An accomplished performer\, arranger and composer\, Dagher is co-artistic director of La Nef and has contributed music to the Assassin’s Creed video game series\, including vocals familiar to fans of Black Flag. He has also performed with The Longest Johns. \nCellist and vocalist Amanda Keesmaat is a prominent member of Montréal’s early-music community who has performed and recorded with numerous acclaimed musicians and ensembles and toured throughout North America\, South America and Europe. \nFiddler and nyckelharpa player Simon Alexandre is an accomplished chamber and orchestral musician who moved to Sweden at age 17 to study the nyckelharpa. He also performs on Hardanger fiddle and is a member of the Orchestre Philharmonique du Québec. \nTogether\, the four musicians create a performance that crosses borders\, centuries and musical traditions\, combining virtuosic playing with rich vocal harmonies and a spirit of exploration. \nGuests should bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating. A donation of $20 to $30 is suggested. In the event of rain\, the concert will move to Bishop Hill Creative Commons. \nPresented by Crossroads Cultural Connections\, this concert continues the organization’s mission of bringing meaningful\, high-quality live music experiences to Henry County and surrounding communities. The group will also be visiting several schools\, providing cultural experiences and live entertainment free of charge to the schools\, while in the area. \nEVENT DETAILS \nWho: Skye Consort & Emma Björling\nWhen: Sunday\, September 27\nPotluck: 6 p.m.; bring a dish to share if participating\nConcert: 7 p.m.\nWhere: Ca d’Zan House Concerts\, Cambridge\, Illinois\nRain Location: Bishop Hill Creative Commons\nAdmission: Suggested donation of $20–$30\nSeating: Bring lawn chairs or blankets\nAudience: All ages welcome

SUMMARY:Jeni Grouws Band
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed singer-songwriter Jeni Grouws will bring her powerful blend of blues\, soul and roots rock to Ca d’Zan House Concerts in Cambridge on Friday\, September 18. Presented by Crossroads Cultural Connections\, the all-ages concert will begin at 7 p.m.\, following an optional community potluck dinner at 6 p.m. Bishop Hill Creative Commons will serve as the rain location. \nKnown for her commanding vocals\, heartfelt songwriting and magnetic stage presence\, Grouws has spent nearly a decade fronting the Billboard-charting Avey Grouws Band. She is now entering an exciting new chapter with the Jeni Grouws Band and the release of her debut solo album\, Music House\, on September 4—just two weeks before her Cambridge appearance. \nBlending blues\, soul and roots rock\, Grouws creates an American roots sound that is both powerful and deeply personal. Music House features songs written entirely by Grouws and was recorded at Purple House in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Casey Wasner\, whose credits include Keb’ Mo’\, TajMo and Robben Ford. \nThe album brings together an impressive group of musicians\, including Brian Allen\, Mike Hicks and Johnny Duke\, along with special guests Drew Smithers of Marcus King Band\, Emmanuel Echem of Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Roy Agee\, Evan Cobb\, Matt Fuller\, Nick Vasquez\, David Abdo\, Kyshona and Anne Harris. \nGrouws has earned enthusiastic praise for both her singing and songwriting. Rock and Blues Muse wrote\, “It’s been a while since a vocalist gave me the chills. Grouws digs deep and you can’t turn away. She’s a belter with deep rooted soul.” \nGoldmine has called Grouws “a remarkably demonstrative vocalist\,” equally capable of delivering hard-driving rock\, blues and tender ballads. Her ability to combine that vocal power with relatable songwriting and genuine warmth has made her an especially compelling live performer. \nWith Music House\, Grouws steps forward as a solo artist with a collection of songs reflecting her own voice and vision. Audiences in Cambridge will have an opportunity to hear that new music almost immediately following the album’s release. \nGuests are invited to arrive at 6 p.m. for the optional potluck dinner and may bring a dish to share.

SUMMARY:The Riverside
DESCRIPTION:The Riverside will bring its warm\, engaging blend of folk music\, rich harmonies and intimate storytelling to Ca d’Zan House Concerts in Cambridge on Tuesday\, September 15. Presented by Crossroads Cultural Connections\, the all-ages concert will begin at 7 p.m.\, following an optional community potluck dinner at 6 p.m. Bishop Hill Creative Commons will serve as the rain location. \nThe Riverside originated in Southern California in 2012\, when founding member Jacob Jeanson formed the group while attending Westmont College. The band first came together with the goal of entering Santa Barbara’s battle of the bands. Their energetic\, foot-stomping folk sound won the competition and provided the funding to record their first album. \nIn the years since\, Jeanson has continued developing a thoughtful songwriting style marked by warmth\, nostalgia and a sense of open-road adventure. Along the way\, he was joined by longtime friends and bandmates Kristen Posey and Chase Fierro\, whose musicianship and chemistry helped shape The Riverside into the trio it is today. \nThe band has toured theaters\, venues and festivals throughout the United States\, but has found a special connection with audiences through intimate house concerts in backyards and living rooms. That setting is a natural fit for The Riverside’s organic style\, which often finds the musicians gathered around a single old-fashioned microphone\, blending voices and instruments into a seamless and inviting sound. \nThe group also frequently collaborates with musical friends while on tour\, allowing each performance to take on a unique character depending on the location\, lineup and atmosphere of the evening. Their goal is to create something that feels personal\, spontaneous and genuinely connected to the audience. \nSince forming\, The Riverside has released eight independently produced albums along with multiple EPs\, with additional music continuing to take shape. \nGuests are invited to arrive at 6 p.m. for the optional potluck dinner and may bring a dish to share. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. Attendees should bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating.

SUMMARY:Father of The Avett Brothers Performs In Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter and storyteller Jim Avett\, father of Scott and Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers\, will perform at Ca d’Zan House Concerts in Cambridge on Saturday\, July 18. Presented by Crossroads Cultural Connections\, the all-ages concert will begin at 7 p.m.\, following an optional community potluck dinner at 6 p.m. \nBorn in central North Carolina in 1947\, Avett grew up surrounded by music\, family stories and a colorful community of enthusiastic storytellers. Encouraged by parents\, relatives and neighbors who valued creativity\, he began playing instruments and writing stories at an early age—interests that have continued throughout his life. \nAvett’s path has included college studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the University of Northern Colorado\, four years of service in the United States Navy from 1967 to 1971\, and technical training that led to a 40-year career in the construction industry. Along the way\, music remained a constant presence. \nWhile working to support his wife\, Susan\, and their three children—Bonnie\, Scott and Seth—Avett continued playing in informal bands and collecting the stories and observations that would later become songs. His music is especially rooted in the ballad tradition\, using songs to preserve memories\, share lessons and reflect upon the people and experiences that shape a life. \nNow living on a farm in Cabarrus County\, North Carolina\, Avett brings audiences an intimate performance filled with original songs\, traditional influences\, personal stories and the warm\, unvarnished perspective of a lifelong musician and storyteller. \nGuests are invited to arrive at 6 p.m. for the optional potluck dinner and may bring a dish to share. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. Attendees should bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating. A donation of $20 to $30 is suggested\, and music lovers of all ages are welcome. \nPresented by Crossroads Cultural Connections\, this concert continues the organization’s mission of bringing meaningful\, high-quality live music experiences to Henry County and surrounding communities. \nEVENT DETAILS \nWho: Jim Avett\nWhen: Saturday\, July 18\nPotluck: 6 p.m.; bring a dish to share if participating\nConcert: 7 p.m.\nWhere: Ca d’Zan House Concerts\, Cambridge\, Illinois\nAdmission: Suggested donation of $20–$30\nSeating: Bring lawn chairs or blankets\nAudience: All ages welcome

SUMMARY:Dyer Davis to Perform in Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitarist Dyer Davis will bring his electrifying blend of Southern blues and rock to Ca d’Zan House Concerts in Cambridge on Thursday\, July 16. Presented by Crossroads Cultural Connections\, the all-ages concert will begin at 7 p.m.\, following an optional community potluck dinner at 6 p.m. \nKnown for his powerful voice\, fiery guitar playing and commanding live performances\, Davis draws inspiration from the rich traditions of Southern blues rock while bringing a fresh energy and emotional intensity to the genre. \nHis debut album\, Dog Bites Back\, entered the Billboard Blues Albums chart at No. 6 and quickly established Davis as one of blues rock’s most promising emerging artists.

The album further showcases his ability to combine soulful songwriting\, expressive vocals and hard-driving guitar work into a sound that honors blues-rock tradition while remaining distinctly his own. \nGuests are invited to arrive at 6 p.m. for the optional potluck dinner and may bring a dish to share. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. Attendees should bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating.
