Ten Foot Tall

A six piece outfit with twin guitars, keyboards, male & female vocals, Ten Foot Tall creates a strong and colorful sound full of dynamics. Ranging from acoustic based singer songwriter style tunes to jazzy electrified instrumentals it's a sound rooted in the American landscape. Musical partners for more than a decade, vocalists James Popik and Jeanne Yarrow harmonize gracefully while guitarist Jeff Page, keyboardist Pete Nardone, bassist Luke Kessel and drummer Andy Janowiak lay down tasty, solid grooves.

Special Guests

Bernie Worrell

Bernie Worrell was a child prodigy who began studying piano at the tender age of three, performed his first Classical Concert at age four, wrote his first concerto at age eight, and performed with the Washington Symphony Orchestra at ten. His classical studies included private lessons at the Juilliard School of Music, before he entered the New England Conservatory of Music, majoring in Classical Piano.

Simply stated, Bernie Worrell is a Master Keyboardist, a founding member of original Parliament/Funkadelic and keyboard wizard whose liquid lines deftly steered P-Funk straight to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.

Besides his critically-acclaimed tenure with Talking Heads, Bernie's long list of collaborators has included Keith Richards, Buckethead, Jack Bruce, The Pretenders, Bill Laswell, The Last Poets, Les Claypool (Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains), Method of Defiance, Gov’t Mule. In addition to other acts, Bernie co-produced, co-wrote and performed with local musician Joe Stuby & Rocking Horse (and that double CD was released last year). One of his newest collaborations is The Bernie Worrell Orchestra as well as SociaLybrium.

Bernie Worrell Orchestra

June, 2011 saw the release of "Bernie Worrell: Standards" -- Bernie's take on jazz standards -- precipitating the decision by Worrell and co-producer, Evan Taylor to "take the show on the road". The Bernie Worrell Orchestra performs with a nine piece band consisting of two guitarists, two drummers, bass, percussion and a three piece horn section that performs songs from this album but also songs from Bernie's vast repertoire. The enthusiastic response from fellow musicians means you just don't know who will show up to join the BWO on stage!!!!
