SUMMARY:Bobby McFerrin and MOTION: Circlesongs
DESCRIPTION:Bobby McFerrin’s Circlesongs turns improvised vocal music into a shared\, participatory experience. Joined by members of MOTION—Bryan Dyer\, David Worm and Destani Wolf—McFerrin builds spontaneous songs from rhythm\, melody and harmony\, inviting the room to listen closely\, take creative risks and discover what can emerge without a written score. \nThe performance continues McFerrin’s lifelong mission to get the world singing. Rather than separating artist and audience\, Circlesongs creates a musical community in real time: voices meet\, patterns evolve and each contribution helps shape the next moment. The result is an adventurous and joyful gathering grounded in curiosity\, trust and the expressive possibilities of the human voice. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:L. Shankar
DESCRIPTION:L. Shankar brings a lifetime of Carnatic mastery and boundary-crossing collaboration to the Freight. Trained in voice\, violin and mridangam from childhood\, he became a major figure in Indian classical music before helping form Shakti with John McLaughlin\, Zakir Hussain and T. H. “Vikku” Vinayakram—an ensemble that reshaped the possibilities of global fusion. \nIn performance\, Shankar’s violin joins deep raga knowledge with dazzling technique and an openness to jazz and contemporary forms. Accompanied by Amit Kavthekar on tabla\, he moves between lyrical improvisation\, rhythmic exchange and the intensity that has marked his work across traditions. The program offers both the rigor of Carnatic music and the exploratory spirit of an artist who has continually expanded its reach. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Emmet Cohen Presents: Miles and Coltrane at 100
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Emmet Cohen marks the centennial of Miles Davis and John Coltrane with a bold reimagining of two artists who changed the course of jazz. Rather than treating their music as a museum piece\, Cohen and an all-star quintet explore the restless questions that drove it: where sound can lead\, what musicians reach for together and how improvisation can reveal something larger than the individual. \nFeaturing saxophonist Tivon Pennicott and trumpeter Jeremy Pelt\, the ensemble engages the spirit\, repertoire and searching intensity associated with Davis and Coltrane. The concert places their legacy inside jazz’s living conversation\, using fresh arrangements and spontaneous interplay to connect a revolutionary past with the creative possibilities of the present. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Bedouine with Other Delights
DESCRIPTION:Bedouine\, the project of singer-songwriter Azniv Korkejian\, brings the intimate folk-pop of Neon Summer Skin to The Freight with Other Delights. Written after a visit with family in Saudi Arabia\, the album considers upbringing\, safety\, memory\, and the difficult end of childhood through vivid\, closely observed imagery. \nKorkejian is known for gentle fingerpicked melodies that gather surprising emotional force. The newer music gives that familiar calm greater weight\, joining timeless songwriting and warm arrangements to a personal reckoning with family history and the places that form us.

SUMMARY:John Gorka
DESCRIPTION:John Gorka brings a lifetime of sharply observed folk songwriting to The Freight. His path began at Godfrey Daniels\, the venerable Pennsylvania listening room where he worked as emcee and sound engineer\, absorbing the example of touring writers including Stan Rogers\, Eric Andersen\, Tom Paxton\, and Claudia Schmidt. \nGorka later found a wider community in Jack Hardy’s influential Fast Folk circle in New York.

SUMMARY:One Song All Night: Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams”
DESCRIPTION:The Freight’s One Song All Night series devotes an entire concert to Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams\,” the Bay Area-recorded classic whose spare pulse and hypnotic melody continue to invite reinvention. Five artists approach the same song from entirely different directions\, revealing how much possibility can live inside one familiar structure. \nEvie Ladin’s MoToR/dance\, Terrence Brewer\, Rip Room\, Adrienne Shamszad and MeloDious each reshape “Dreams” through their own musical language—from body percussion and jazz guitar to art punk\, Iranian-American roots music and soulful vocal experimentation. Heard side by side\, the versions turn repetition into discovery and show how interpretation can transform mood\, rhythm\, meaning and memory. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Maryna Krut
DESCRIPTION:Ukrainian singer and bandura player Maryna Krut brings the sound and story of her homeland to the Freight. The bandura—a many-stringed instrument with qualities of both lute and zither—anchors her music\, carrying traditional melodies into arrangements shaped by jazz and her powerful\, expressive voice. \nSince Russia’s invasion of Ukraine\, Krut’s role has expanded from performer to witness. She travels to front-line communities to sing for soldiers\, then brings what she has seen to audiences abroad\, connecting cultural memory with the realities of war. Her concert is both musical and testimonial: a vivid encounter with Ukrainian tradition\, resilience and the human experience behind distant headlines. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:CelloGayageum
DESCRIPTION:CelloGayageum unites Austrian cellist Sol Daniel Kim and Korean gayageum player and composer Dayoung Yoon in music that crosses continents and centuries. Founded in 2016 after the musicians met in Berlin\, the duo connects the resonance of Western classical cello with the plucked sonority of Korean gugak. \nTheir original compositions begin with Korean folk melodies and open outward to global influences\, creating a sound that feels both ancient and contemporary. Inspired by Berlin’s Pavilion of Unity\, the collaboration treats two instruments and histories as equal voices in an ongoing musical conversation.

SUMMARY:Dirk & Amelia Powell
DESCRIPTION:Dirk and Amelia Powell bring the intertwined musical histories of Louisiana and Appalachia to the stage as a father-daughter duo. Amelia grew up inside the Cajun tradition of her grandfather\, fiddler and cultural ambassador Dewey Balfa\, while learning old-time Appalachian music with Dirk\, whose own banjo\, fiddle and guitar playing traces back to family roots in Kentucky. \nTogether they perform traditional material and original songs with the ease\, trust and humor of family musicians who share more than repertoire. Hard-driving guitar\, soulful vocals and deeply felt instrumental playing reveal how heritage changes when passed from one generation to the next. The result is intimate roots music shaped by memory\, place and genuine connection. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Jeffrey Foucault
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Foucault brings more than two decades of road-tested American songwriting to The Freight. His spare\, emotionally powerful music is rooted in the open landscapes of his Midwestern upbringing\, with literate lyrics and a worn\, direct vocal style that have earned an international following. \nFoucault’s album The Universal Fire was recorded live in one room after the death of his longtime friend and drummer Billy Conway. Its high-voltage performances form both a working musician’s wake and a meditation on beauty\, objects\, memory\, and loss.

SUMMARY:Tuba Skinny
DESCRIPTION:Tuba Skinny brings the streets of New Orleans to the Freight through traditional jazz\, country blues\, jug-band music\, spirituals\, ragtime and early R&B. The ensemble approaches the broad genealogy of American roots music with deep historical knowledge and an exuberance that makes songs from the 1920s and ’30s feel fully present. \nAfter years interpreting overlooked gems\, the band’s original album Magnolia Stroll extended that vocabulary with new compositions inspired by the musicians and neighborhoods that nurtured them. Cornet\, clarinet\, trombone\, banjo\, guitar\, tuba\, washboard and voice create a buoyant\, unamplified conversation—polished enough for concert halls\, but still shaped by the organic surprise and public spirit of street performance. \n(Check organizer/venue website to confirm event details.) \nInfo & Tickets

SUMMARY:Chris Smither with Peter Mulvey
DESCRIPTION:Chris Smither brings more than 50 years of folk-blues songwriting and guitar playing to The Freight. Drawing on American folk music\, the blues\, poetry\, and philosophy\, he has developed a spare\, unmistakable sound carried by intricate acoustic guitar\, a weathered voice\, and songs that face mortality without losing wit or motion. \nSmither’s work has been interpreted by Bonnie Raitt\, Diana Krall\, and many others\, while friendships with musicians including Jorma Kaukonen and Tim O’Brien connect him to several generations of roots artists. Singer-songwriter and raconteur Peter Mulvey opens and joins an evening devoted to durable songs and independent voices.
