Visionary music producer HAL WILLNER returns to the Bandshell with a multi-artist celebration of acoustic R&B pioneer Bill Withers, whose Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone, Lovely Day, and Lean On Me only hint at a body of work that ranks him among our greatest songwriters. Nona Hendryx, James “Blood” Ulmer, Sandra St. Victor, and Glen Hansard of the Frames will be among the ensemble cast—check briconline.org/celebrate for updates, but expect surprises and late additions. “No one puts on a better tribute concert than Hal Willner ... a sympathetic and generous listener with an almost preternatural ability to match performer to song, and a Rolodex to back it up.” (Variety)
