SUMMARY:Sammy Rae & The Friends w/ Melt
DESCRIPTION:The mantra of the Friends? \nGo put a smile on somebody’s face\, go tell somebody they’ve got a place in this world\, go tell somebody you wanna be friends with them. \nFor as much as Sammy Rae & The Friends may be a band\, this collective of dreamers and artists considers themselves a family first. That all-for-one and one-for-all camaraderie ignites their unforgettable and can’t-miss live shows\, which serve as a catharsis for both the musicians and their fervent audience. Fronted by singer/songwriter Sammy Rae and honed through years of touring\, the group is capable of flourishing in any spotlight thanks to its signature blend of palpable chemistry\, deft virtuosity\, and vocal fireworks. \nTheir sound\, which has attracted new fans by the thousands in the past few years\, is a unique mélange of Sammy’s influences: classic rock\, folk and funk and sprinkled with soul and jazz. Rae has been building toward this moment since moving to NYC from Connecticut in her early 20s. Finding herself without a built-in peer group\, she simply built it herself: the literal and proverbial Friends. When she started playing shows\, she made sure the audience was part of the family too. Everything that’s happened since – from EP’s “The Good Life” (2018) and “Let’s Throw a Party” (2021) to sold-out shows in major markets and secondary markets alike across North American and the UK & Europe\, to high-profile festival sets around the world\, including Bonnaroo’s main stage\, Sound on Sound\, All Things Go\, and more – has been based on friends telling friends. \nWith the release of their debut album “Something For Everybody” in 2024\, Sammy Rae & The Friends have come to represent more than just a band: they are a full-on movement being adopted with refreshingly diverse clientele.  The band is currently working on their next album \n\n \n\nMelt\nPulsing with the energy of their hometown New York City\, ‘If There’s a Heaven’(out 9/13/24)is the debut album from indie band Melt. The band formed in 2017 and cut their teeth touring on the heels of their viral single “Sour Candy” over weekends in college. Called “one groovy super organism” by NPR\, they are known for their ecstatic live set. In 2021\, Melt released their‘West Side Highway’ EP and toured nationally\, further developing their intuitive connection as players as well as cementing their status as a band to watch. \n‘If There’s a Heaven’ presents Melt simultaneously at their most airtight and freewheeling–evoking the raw\, communal spirit of Fleetwood Mac as well as the modern\, danceable hooks ofMUNA. Recorded live to tape with producer Sam Evian (Big Thief)\, the eleven tracks spanexistential\, feel-good pop (“Plant the Garden”)\, classic love ballads (“Your Name”) and lush\,soulful rockers (“Heaven”). Melt’s debut is ajoyous\, timeless soundtrack for coming of age andfinding oneself and one’s community. As emotionally stirring as they are groovy\, Melt will movelisteners in every sense of the word.

Instead\, he finds himself caught in a whirlwind of clever schemes\, mistaken assumptions\, oversized personalities\, and one hilariously stubborn overseer who seems determined to foil every plan. \nWith the help of his quick thinking friend Pedrillo and the spirited Blondchen\, every new attempt to outsmart their captors seems to unravel in an entirely unexpected way. As disguises\, deception\, and romance collide\, the line between carefully laid plans and complete chaos grows thinner by the minute. \nFilled with sparkling melodies\, dazzling vocal fireworks\, and laugh out loud moments\, Abduction showcases Mozart at his most playful. Beneath the comedy\, however\, lies a story that challenges first impressions and reminds us that kindness can appear where we least expect it. \nPart of Opera Idaho’s Unraveled season\, Abduction celebrates the moments when our assumptions fall apart\, our plans go delightfully off course\, and our greatest surprises reveal something unexpected about ourselves and others. \nWhether you’re discovering opera for the first time or you’re a longtime fan\, Abduction is an irresistible blend of romance\, comedy\, and unforgettable music that proves sometimes the best adventures are the ones that don’t go according to plan. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Composer\n\n\n\n\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) is widely regarded as one of history’s greatest composers. A child prodigy who began performing across Europe before the age of ten\, Mozart possessed an extraordinary ability to write music that was both technically brilliant and deeply expressive. During his short lifetime\, he composed more than 600 works\, many of which remain cornerstones of the classical repertoire. \nAlthough his remarkable talent earned him admiration from royalty and audiences alike\, Mozart spent much of his adult life pursuing artistic independence as a freelance composer. His operas\, in particular\, revealed an unmatched gift for bringing characters to life\, balancing humor\, drama\, and emotional honesty with music of remarkable beauty and sophistication. \nComposed in 1782\, The Abduction from the Seraglio marked Mozart’s first great operatic success in Vienna and helped establish German-language opera as a serious artistic form. Blending sparkling comedy with moments of genuine compassion\, the work reflects Mozart’s belief that even the funniest stories are most powerful when their characters feel real. Its demanding vocal writing and memorable melodies continue to delight audiences more than two centuries later. \nFrom The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni to The Magic Flute\, Mozart transformed opera by creating characters who are wonderfully flawed\, deeply human\, and instantly recognizable. The Abduction from the Seraglio remains a perfect introduction to that genius\, combining dazzling music\, irresistible comedy\, and timeless storytelling. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSynopsis (spoilers)\n\n\n\n\nAct I\nTurkey\, the 1700s. Pasha Selim has bought as slaves three Europeans taken prisoner by pirates: Konstanze\, a young Spanish lady; Blondchen\, her English maid; and Pedrillo\, who is the servant of Konstanze’s fiancé\, Belmonte\, and in love with Blondchen. Belmonte has traced the trio to the pasha’s seaside palace\, where Konstanze has become her new master’s favorite. The pasha has made Pedrillo his gardener and has given Blondchen to Osmin\, his palace overseer. \nAt the palace gate\, Belmonte encounters Osmin\, who treats him coolly and flies into a rage when Belmonte asks about Pedrillo\, Osmin’s rival. Osmin drives Belmonte away and then rails at Pedrillo when he suggests that they should finally make peace. Belmonte returns and learns from Pedrillo that the pasha has fallen in love with Konstanze but will not force himself on her. Pedrillo will try to arrange a meeting between Konstanze and Belmonte and an escape by boat with Blondchen. \nKonstanze returns from a pleasure trip with the pasha. He has been treating her with respect but she cannot forget Belmonte and keeps rejecting his advances. Pedrillo introduces Belmonte to the pasha as a promising young architect and Selim welcomes him. Osmin tries to bar the way as Belmonte and Pedrillo enter the palace\, but they force their way past him. \nAct II\nIn the palace garden\, Blondchen explains to Osmin how a European woman should be treated. Konstanze finds Blondchen and laments her sad situation. When the pasha again asks her to marry him\, she tells him she would prefer torture\, even death\, to betraying her fiancé. Blondchen and Pedrillo discuss the escape plan: they will get Osmin drunk and all four leave on Belmonte’s ship. Even though Osmin’s religion forbids him to drink wine\, Pedrillo has no difficulty in getting him drunk\, leaving the coast clear for the two couples to meet. \nAct III\nThat night\, Belmonte and Pedrillo come to the ladies’ window with a ladder. Pedrillo sings a serenade as the signal for escape\, but this wakes Osmin\, who is not too hungover to realize what is going on. The four are locked up. When brought before the pasha\, Belmonte suggests he collect a ransom from his wealthy family\, the Lostados. At the mention of this name\, the pasha realizes that Belmonte is the son of an old enemy\, the man who exiled him from his own country. He decides to repay evil with good\, freeing Konstanze and Belmonte\, and even Blondchen and Pedrillo. The grateful couples praise their benefactor as they prepare to set sail.

SUMMARY:almost monday – THANK GOD IT'S ALMOST MONDAY
DESCRIPTION:almost monday\n\n \n\nalmost monday is the definition of a California state of mind. For the band\, it all started in a San Diego surf shop\, where three friends—Dawson Daugherty (vocals)\, Cole Clisby (guitar) and Luke Fabry (bass)—began shaping a sound that feels coastal without feeling cliché. Their early breakout “broken people” quietly snowballed into wider attention\, earning a Sofi Tukker remix and setting the stage for a run of alternative radio momentum with the release of “sun keeps on shining” and culminating in a Billboard Alternative Airplay #1 with “can’t slow down.” \nAs the band’s cultural footprint continues to grow\, their music has become a fixture across lifestyle and sports\, racking up 50+ syncs spanning everything from ESPN and MLB broadcasts to March Madness\, and the Vans US Open. \nThe band kicked off the year with “leaving is easy\,” an emotionally resonant track reflecting their continued growth as songwriters\, followed by “no more regrets\,” an upbeat track built for connection and movement and most recently “skinny dip\,” which captures fleeting\, youthful connection with a subtle emotional edge. The momentum continued with a 2026 iHeart Music Awards nomination for Best New Alternative Artist. The band recently performed at BottleRock in May and are currently on tour with Young the Giant and Cold War Kids\, with the run wrapping June 27 in Nashville. \nOnstage\, almost monday have built a reputation for high-voltage performances and a kinetic\, sun-soaked energy. The band has appeared at major festivals including Lollapalooza\, BottleRock\, Life is Beautiful\, as well as iHeartRadio’s 98.7 ALTer EGO. They’ve opened arenas for AJR\, toured globally with The Driver Era and The Band CAMINO\, sold-out their own headline tour across the U.S.\, UK\, and Europe. In 2024\, they released their debut album DIVE\, a kaleidoscopic coming‑of‑age record blending hooks\, radiance\, and sun‑drenched world‑building\, brought to life visually by artist Dave Bowers. \nWith over 1.5 billion streams\, a late-night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!\, collaborations including Jordana on “jupiter\,” and work with producers behind OneRepublic and The Killers\, the band continues to blur the lines between alt-pop immediacy and indie-rock intent—music that feels effortless\, kinetic\, and built for motion. \nFrom surf shops to global stages\, almost monday is defining their era with style and swagger. Their music doesn’t just soundtrack a summer — it creates one: sun‑soaked\, uplifting\, and impossible not to dance to.

Instead\, he finds himself caught in a whirlwind of clever schemes\, mistaken assumptions\, oversized personalities\, and one hilariously stubborn overseer who seems determined to foil every plan. \nWith the help of his quick thinking friend Pedrillo and the spirited Blondchen\, every new attempt to outsmart their captors seems to unravel in an entirely unexpected way. As disguises\, deception\, and romance collide\, the line between carefully laid plans and complete chaos grows thinner by the minute. \nFilled with sparkling melodies\, dazzling vocal fireworks\, and laugh out loud moments\, Abduction showcases Mozart at his most playful. Beneath the comedy\, however\, lies a story that challenges first impressions and reminds us that kindness can appear where we least expect it. \nPart of Opera Idaho’s Unraveled season\, Abduction celebrates the moments when our assumptions fall apart\, our plans go delightfully off course\, and our greatest surprises reveal something unexpected about ourselves and others. \nWhether you’re discovering opera for the first time or you’re a longtime fan\, Abduction is an irresistible blend of romance\, comedy\, and unforgettable music that proves sometimes the best adventures are the ones that don’t go according to plan. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Composer\n\n\n\n\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) is widely regarded as one of history’s greatest composers. A child prodigy who began performing across Europe before the age of ten\, Mozart possessed an extraordinary ability to write music that was both technically brilliant and deeply expressive. During his short lifetime\, he composed more than 600 works\, many of which remain cornerstones of the classical repertoire. \nAlthough his remarkable talent earned him admiration from royalty and audiences alike\, Mozart spent much of his adult life pursuing artistic independence as a freelance composer. His operas\, in particular\, revealed an unmatched gift for bringing characters to life\, balancing humor\, drama\, and emotional honesty with music of remarkable beauty and sophistication. \nComposed in 1782\, The Abduction from the Seraglio marked Mozart’s first great operatic success in Vienna and helped establish German-language opera as a serious artistic form. Blending sparkling comedy with moments of genuine compassion\, the work reflects Mozart’s belief that even the funniest stories are most powerful when their characters feel real. Its demanding vocal writing and memorable melodies continue to delight audiences more than two centuries later. \nFrom The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni to The Magic Flute\, Mozart transformed opera by creating characters who are wonderfully flawed\, deeply human\, and instantly recognizable. The Abduction from the Seraglio remains a perfect introduction to that genius\, combining dazzling music\, irresistible comedy\, and timeless storytelling. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSynopsis (spoilers)\n\n\n\n\nAct I\nTurkey\, the 1700s. Pasha Selim has bought as slaves three Europeans taken prisoner by pirates: Konstanze\, a young Spanish lady; Blondchen\, her English maid; and Pedrillo\, who is the servant of Konstanze’s fiancé\, Belmonte\, and in love with Blondchen. Belmonte has traced the trio to the pasha’s seaside palace\, where Konstanze has become her new master’s favorite. The pasha has made Pedrillo his gardener and has given Blondchen to Osmin\, his palace overseer. \nAt the palace gate\, Belmonte encounters Osmin\, who treats him coolly and flies into a rage when Belmonte asks about Pedrillo\, Osmin’s rival. Osmin drives Belmonte away and then rails at Pedrillo when he suggests that they should finally make peace. Belmonte returns and learns from Pedrillo that the pasha has fallen in love with Konstanze but will not force himself on her. Pedrillo will try to arrange a meeting between Konstanze and Belmonte and an escape by boat with Blondchen. \nKonstanze returns from a pleasure trip with the pasha. He has been treating her with respect but she cannot forget Belmonte and keeps rejecting his advances. Pedrillo introduces Belmonte to the pasha as a promising young architect and Selim welcomes him. Osmin tries to bar the way as Belmonte and Pedrillo enter the palace\, but they force their way past him. \nAct II\nIn the palace garden\, Blondchen explains to Osmin how a European woman should be treated. Konstanze finds Blondchen and laments her sad situation. When the pasha again asks her to marry him\, she tells him she would prefer torture\, even death\, to betraying her fiancé. Blondchen and Pedrillo discuss the escape plan: they will get Osmin drunk and all four leave on Belmonte’s ship. Even though Osmin’s religion forbids him to drink wine\, Pedrillo has no difficulty in getting him drunk\, leaving the coast clear for the two couples to meet. \nAct III\nThat night\, Belmonte and Pedrillo come to the ladies’ window with a ladder. Pedrillo sings a serenade as the signal for escape\, but this wakes Osmin\, who is not too hungover to realize what is going on. The four are locked up. When brought before the pasha\, Belmonte suggests he collect a ransom from his wealthy family\, the Lostados. At the mention of this name\, the pasha realizes that Belmonte is the son of an old enemy\, the man who exiled him from his own country. He decides to repay evil with good\, freeing Konstanze and Belmonte\, and even Blondchen and Pedrillo. The grateful couples praise their benefactor as they prepare to set sail.
