Fiona Apple will play their official showcase on Thursday, March 15.

The show will take place at Central Presbyterian Church for only 400 people and is open only to badge-holders.

Paula D'Arcy, a writer, retreat leader, and conference and seminar speaker, travels widely in the United States, Canada, and abroad.

She is also President of the Red Bird Foundation, which supports the growth and spiritual development of those in need and furthers a ministry both to those in prison and those living in third world or disadvantaged cultures.

After releasing the stunningly brilliant Forget last year, the only question left of George Lewis Jr. was how well his take on '80s new-wave romanticism would translate into a live setting.

He was the sole individual responsible for crafting those ten slices of near perfection, and the idea that he would simply replicate those sounds while standing behind a laptop would never do them justice.

Wisely, his live iteration includes three other musicians to help him realize his sound, as well as give him plenty of opportunities to prove himself as a front man.

Thursday Summer Slaughter Tour at Emo’s.

Christmas comes in July for metal fans, as 15 brutal thrashers commandeer both stages at Emo’s for an all-night-and-most-of-the-day explosion of carnage that offers plenty of bang for your buck.

Acts range from Polish metal standbys Decapitated to Massachusetts’ the Red Chord to `technical death metal’ - that’s what happens when death metal strangles prog rock with its own riffs - masters the Faceless.

Get your (devil) horns up.
