January 21, 2023 - Dear Darling

We can hardly wait for January 21, 2023 to roll around, because that’s when Dear Darling joins us again at Theater 5150! The Darlings are Casey Lipka, Hannah Jane Kile, and Natalie Hagwood and each is a brilliant singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist. Together they are something very, very special. Every time they’ve graced us with their presence, they’ve left captivated and delighted packed houses who instantly become fans, as will you if you haven’t yet had that pleasure.

It’s always extra special when we’re joined by Jessica Malone and her band, and she’ll be here February 10, 2023! Jessica is an award-winning singer, songwriter and composer whose genre-defying music ranges from songbird confessional to rambunctious & rollicking full-band efforts and incorporates elements of Americana, Bluegrass, Folk, Rock, and even some hints of Jazz in a sometimes smooth, sometimes gritty, brew. Her band is as good as they get and Jessica is right up there with the best Sacramento Music has to offer. She is one of our all-time favorites!

We first heard Dirty Cello about three years ago and have wanted to have them play at Theater 5150 ever since. On March 10, 2023, we finally get our wish! Dirty Cello can’t be categorized. Led by cello savant Rebecca Roudman, their music is all over the map. You’re as likely to hear their spin on bluegrass gems, Mississippi blues, surf music, or Led Zeppelin crunchers as you are their extensive catalogue of “bluesy grass” Americana originals. I love this band and you will, too. This is not one to miss!

We were anxiously awaiting JoDavi's performance at Theater 5150 back in April, 2020 and you all know what happened next. April 22nd 2023 is our first opportunity to finally get him here so we can all enjoy his “Symphonic Soul” in our intimate setting. JoDavi (Joshua David Washington) is an R & B singer, songwriter, conductor and arranger whose music brings to mind Earth, Wind and Fire, The Commodores and the Fifth Dimension, with a dose of gospel thrown into the mix. He founded Current Personae, the Stockton music collective that could best be described as giant soul orchestra, led piano and string “chamber soul” ensembles, and collaborated with vocalists as diverse as Dear Darling, Arielle Deem, Betty Masenqo, and others too numerous to name. He has over a dozen albums to his credit. We’re all going to love this one!

On June 10, 2023, we have the privilege of hosting Hattie & The Moon Howlers for what promises to be a sublime evening of rootsy acoustic folk-rock/country/bluegrass music. Led by multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Hattie Craven, the Moon Howlers feature Hattie and her musical accomplice Jessica Malone, together with an evolving cast that always includes some of Sacramento’s finest musicians. They serve up

a brew made up of thoughtful song craft and lush vocal harmonic soundscapes. Their music always makes me happy!

We’re delighted to welcome Katie Knipp back to Theater 5150 July 22, 2023! I don’t think there’s a better way to describe her than as a force of nature. She’s a consummate musician: an accomplished Blues and R&B songwriter, pianist, dobro/bottleneck slide, and harmonica player who possesses one of the most beautiful, emotive, and powerful voices we’ve ever heard. She’s received first ballot Grammy consideration in the contemporary blues category and her three most recent albums have all found their way into the Billboard blues top ten. As you can tell, we love her and her music. A lot. Do not miss this one.
