"It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn't enjoy what they do," says The Boston Globe speaking of Cherish the Ladies, the Grammy-nominated, Irish-American super group that formed in New York City in 1985 to celebrate the rise of extraordinary women in what had been a male-dominated Irish music scene. Since their first sold-out concert, they exploded onto the Irish music circuit, performing thousands of concerts around the globe, and are now among the busiest and most admired Irish groups on the planet. Their show is a wonderful blend of the old and the new. Irish songs, lively jigs and reels, and heart-wrenching slow airs transport the listener on an enchanted musical journey. Our audience asked us to bring them back, and we have! Click HERE for artist's website. LU Students attend for FREE, click for more info.

YAMATO's Taiko drumming is a unique blend of rhythm, movement, and energy that must be experienced to be fully understood. On stage, they stand with more than 40 Taiko drums, all of which have different characters. For example, their largest drum, Odaiko, was produced from a massive tree over 400 years old. They do not simply make their Taiko drums explode with sound; they produce delicate music that provides the listener with a palette of meticulously crafted sound. YAMATO's performances are known as physical music -- sometimes intense, sad, comforting, yet in the next moment comical. They have performed over 4,000 shows in 54 countries.

We Will Rock You, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Are the Champions, and the legendary Bohemian Rhapsody are songs that scratch the surface of rock supergroup Queen's legacy. There was only one Freddie Mercury. His unique vocals have made it nearly impossible to perform his music as he did. Finally, Marc Martel and One Vision of Queen perform Freddie's music as it should be. Legendary Queen drummer Roger Taylor remarked to the Daily Record: "That voice. You listen, close your eyes, and you think it's Freddie. It's really uncanny." You may have heard Marc when he last performed at Zoellner to standing ovations or his vocals that were part of Rami Malek's Academy Award-winning performance in Bohemian Rhapsody, the highly acclaimed Queen biopic.
