It was a theater\, dance\, music and literature festival and the theme was the rise of fascism in Europe. They asked me to do a two hour talk on the relationship of government and love. I don’t often get assignments but this one was irresistible. Since then this talk has taken several forms\, all called The Republic of Love. \nThe Republic of Love with Sexmob and guests is a collection of songs and stories about the current state of America\, with some history thrown in. It features several of my songs– among them Big Science and Language Is A Virus­– that have new meanings in 2026. It also features the words and thoughts of many Americans from Bob Dylan\, Lou Reed\, John Cage\, Gertrude Stein\, William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. The Republic of Love is a celebration of freedom.” Laurie Anderson \nLaurie Anderson is a writer\, director\, composer\, visual artist\, musician and vocalist who has created groundbreaking works that span the worlds of art\, theater\, experimental music\, and technology.

SUMMARY:Lucy Rose
DESCRIPTION:Lucy Rose’s return to the stage follows one of the most challenging and transformative periods of her life. After the release of her critically acclaimed 2019 album ‘No Words Left’\, which culminated in a sold-out performance at London’s Barbican\, Rose planned a period of rest following years of relentless touring\, but was instead met with a rare and life-altering diagnosis. \n“Five weeks after I gave birth to Otis\, I started getting back pain… until one night\, whilst lifting him\, my back went.” An eventual MRI scan revealed eight fractured vertebrae caused by pregnancy-associated osteoporosis\, a condition affecting fewer than 1 in 100\,000 women\, leaving her unable to carry out everyday tasks with doctors unable to guarantee recovery. \nRecovery came gradually\, aided by hydrotherapy that\, in Rose’s words\, “really changed my life.” As her physical strength returned\, so too did her connection to music. \nWhat followed was a creative reawakening that reshaped her relationship with songwriting\, including time spent working with Logic and recording at Paul Weller’s studio\, embracing a more open and instinctive creative process. \n‘This Ain’t The Way You Go Out’ is an album constructed from the ashes of despair\, nurturing the tiniest of green shoots and giving life to something that had looked otherwise spent. It’s a new era for Lucy\, and an era in its purest\, truest sense. An artist re-awakening herself to the power of music\, and having a lot of fun in the process of its discovery and delivery.

DESCRIPTION:Pat Metheny Guitars\nJoe Dyson Drums\nChris Fishman Piano/Keyboards\nJermaine Paul Bass\nLeonard Patton Percussion/Vocal \nThe acclaimed jazz musician returns to NCH with the latest iteration of his celebrated project\, Side-Eye III+. \nSide-Eye III+ showcases Pat Metheny’s enduring dedication to mentoring the next generation of jazz innovators while exploring fresh musical territories. \n  \n\n\n\nPat Metheny was born in Lee’s Summit\, MO on August 12\, 1954\, into a musical family. Starting on trumpet at the age of 8\, Metheny switched to guitar at age 12. By the age of 15\, he was working regularly with the best jazz musicians in Kansas City\, receiving valuable on-the- bandstand experience at an unusually young age. Metheny first burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974. Over the course of his three-year stint with vibraphone great Gary Burton\, the young Missouri native already displayed his soon-to-become trademarked playing style\, which blended the loose and flexible articulation customarily reserved for horn players with an advanced rhythmic and harmonic sensibility: a way of playing and improvising that was modern in conception but grounded deeply in the jazz tradition of melody\, swing\, and the blues. With the release of his first album\, Bright Size Life (1975)\, he reinvented the traditional “jazz guitar” sound for a new generation of players. Throughout his career\, Pat Metheny has continued to redefine the genre by utilizing new technology and constantly working to evolve the improvisational and sonic potential of his instrument. \nMetheny’s versatility is nearly without peer on any instrument. Over the years\, he has performed with artists as diverse as Steve Reich to Ornette Coleman to Herbie Hancock to Jim Hall to Milton Nascimento to David Bowie. Metheny’s body of work includes compositions for solo guitar\, small ensembles\, electric and acoustic instruments\, large orchestras\, and ballet pieces and even the robotic instruments of his Orchestrion project\, while always sidestepping the limits of any one genre. \nAs well as being an accomplished musician\, Metheny has also participated in the academic arena as a music educator. At 18\, he was the youngest teacher ever at the University of Miami. At 19\, he became the youngest teacher ever at the Berklee College of Music\, where he also received an honorary doctorate more than twenty years later\, in 1996. He has also taught music workshops all over the world\, from the Dutch Royal Conservatory to the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz to clinics in Asia and South America. He has also been a true musical pioneer in the realm of electronic music and was one of the very first jazz musicians to treat the synthesizer as a serious musical instrument. Years before the invention of MIDI technology\, Metheny was using the Synclavier as a composing tool. He also has been instrumental in the development of several new kinds of guitars such as the soprano acoustic guitar\, the 42-string Pikasso guitar\, Ibanez’s PM series jazz guitars\, and a variety of other custom instruments. \nIt is one thing to attain popularity as a musician\, but it is another to receive the kind of acclaim Metheny has garnered from critics and peers. Over the years\, he has won countless polls as “Best Jazz Guitarist” and awards\, including three gold records for (Still Life) Talking\, Letter from Home\, and Secret Story. He has also won 20 Grammy Awards spread out over a variety of different categories including Best Rock Instrumental\, Best Contemporary Jazz Recording\, Best Jazz Instrumental Solo\, Best Instrumental Composition at one point winning seven consecutive Grammys for seven consecutive albums. In 2015 he was inducted into the DownBeat Hall of Fame\, becoming only the fourth guitarist to be included (along with Django Reinhardt\, Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery) and its youngest member. In 2018\, he was named an NEA Jazz Master\, the nation’s highest honor in jazz\, awarded to the recipients “for their lifetime achievements and exceptional contributions to the advancement of jazz.” Metheny has spent much of his life on tour\, often doing more than 100 shows a year since becoming a bandleader in the 70’s. \nAt the time of this writing\, he continues to be one of the brightest stars of the jazz community\, dedicating time to both his own projects and those of emerging artists and established veterans alike\, helping them to reach their audience as well as realizing their own artistic visions. \nPresented by the NCH

SUMMARY:THE CASTELLOWS
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in the red clay of Georgetown\, Georgia\, The Castellows are a sister trio redefining neo-traditional country music with a fresh Southern soul. Composed of Ellie\, Lily\, and Powell Balkcom\, the group blends blood harmony with back-porch honesty\, creating a sound that’s as timeless as it is current. \nRaised on gospel\, bluegrass\, and the stories of small-town life\, The Castellows found their collective voice in 2022\, quickly gaining traction with stripped-down covers and original songs shared across social media. Their natural harmonies and authentic presence drew fans in by the thousands—and caught the attention of Nashville. \nBy 2023\, the sisters had inked a deal with Warner Music Nashville and Warner Records\, officially kicking off a professional journey that had long been in the making. Their debut EP\, A Little Goes a Long Way (2024)\, produced by Grammy-winner Trina Shoemaker\, introduced the world to the heart and grit behind their music. With six of the seven tracks penned by the trio\, the EP is a heartfelt homage to faith\, family\, and Southern roots. \nIn 2024 alone\, they sold out nearly half of their very first headlining tour\, dropped three singles—including Sober Sundays\, a standout collaboration with Wyatt Flores—and released a buzzworthy EP. They also hit the road with country icons Little Big Town and Sugarland\, earning new fans across the country. \nBreaking into 2025 starting with a C2C a brand new EP titled Homecoming and a major tour alongside Thomas Rhett. And the momentum doesn’t stop there—the Castellows will headline again this fall on their very own Homecoming Tour. \nWhether it’s a front-porch singalong or a sold-out stage\, The Castellows deliver every note with raw emotion and radiant unity. Their sound is a little old-school\, a little new wave\, and a whole lot of home.

SUMMARY:D.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (often abbreviated and referred to as D.R.I.) are an American crossover thrash band that formed in Houston\, Texas in 1982 and would later relocate to San Francisco\, California. The band is currently composed of two of its founding members\, lead vocalist Kurt Brecht and guitarist Spike Cassidy\, as well as bassist Greg Orr and drummer Danny Walker. \nD.R.I. never gained a mainstream audience\, but the integration of their hardcore punk roots with thrash metal influences was a stylistic catalyst for their contemporaries – most notably Suicidal Tendencies\, Corrosion of Conformity\, Stormtroopers of Death\, the Cro-Mags\, Nuclear Assault\, Adrenalin O.D.\, and Cryptic Slaughter – alongside whom they are considered to be one of the major pioneers of what would later be called “crossover thrash”. These bands had a heavy influence on modern thrash metal.

SUMMARY:D.K. Harrell
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist\, vocalist and songwriter D.K. Harrell\, one of the most formidable young stars of the current blues resurgence\, sounds like no one else on the scene today. With his stinging\, single-note string bending\, deep soul vocals\, and attention-grabbing original songs\, the 27-year-old Harrell\, a major draw at blues festivals around the world–is already in a league of his own. \nD.K. Harrell was born D’Kieran Harrell in Ruston\, Louisiana in 1998. He first heard B.B. King at age two and responded by singing along. He sang in his church choir as a boy while continuing to be drawn to the blues. Films like The Blues Brothers\, Cadillac Records and Ray made him eager to sing and play. He received his first guitar at 12\, and by 16 was writing his own songs. Initially inspired by B.B. King\, the youthful Harrell spent hours studying every video of King he could find\, learning not just King’s licks but ultimately his tone\, his finesse\, his stage craft\, and his band leadership skills. Harrell’s first paying gig was as an invited guest to the B.B. King Symposium in Indianola\, Mississippi–where he played “The Thrill Is Gone” on King’s iconic guitar\, Lucille–backed by members of King’s touring band. \nIn 2022 Harrell won the B.B. King Of The Blues Award for Preserving Traditional Blues Heritage from the Jus’ Blues Music Foundation. In addition to B.B. King\, Harrell fell under the spell of blues masters including Albert King\, Freddie King\, Elmore James\, Muddy Waters and others\, and made their styles part of his musical vocabulary. His debut album\, ‘The Right Man’\, was released on the Little Village label in 2023 to rave reviews and wildly excited fans. \nNow\, with his Alligator Records debut album\, ‘Talkin’ Heavy’\, D.K. Harrell cements his place among the leading voices of the new generation of blues players. This Blues Music Award-winning guitarist with a soul man’s voice and a well-earned reputation as a mesmerizing live performer delivers fresh\, emotion-packed blues informed by the tradition he loves and played with the foot-pounding fervor of a revival tent preacher.

SUMMARY:COLAPALOOZA
DESCRIPTION:Mike got spiked\, Cousin It and The “Friends” Ensemble play quality music to raise money for our friend Colin. \n\n\n\n\nThe Grand Social\, Dublin | Friday\, July 24\, 2026 \nDoors 7:00 PM | Tickets €20 \nLife has a cruel way of picking the wrong targets. Recently\, our dear friend Colin Howell was diagnosed with ALS. \nFor those who know him\, Colin is a “giant” in every sense—not just in stature\, but in spirit\, humour\, and a level of kindness that is frankly over-the-top. He’s the man who always has your back and the person who makes every room brighter. Now\, he is facing the fight of his life. Tasks we all take for granted—a trip to the shops or a morning shower—are becoming increasingly difficult. \nTo understand why we’re doing this\, you have to go back to Carrickmacross in the early 90s. While the rest of us were struggling to tune our guitars\, Idle Mind (led by the indefatigable Howell brothers\, Colin and Gary) was busy blowing the doors off local pubs. Watching them rip through Helmet and Therapy? covers was a religious experience. \nLet’s be honest: without the influence and unending encouragement of the Howell brothers\, there would be no Cousin It\, and by extension\, no Mike Got Spiked. Whether the world would have been a quieter\, more peaceful place without our collective noise is a debate for another day—but the fact remains: Colin is the reason we play. \nMusic brought us together and paved the way for lifelong friendships. Now it’s the only way we know how to fight back. With the blessing of the Howell family\, we are staging a massive night of music to raise the funds Colin needs for the “new normal” ahead. The lineup features: \nMike Got Spiked (Full Set) \nCousin It (Full Set) \nThe “Friends” Ensemble (A special set of covers and guest appearances) \nWhether you crashed at his home in Carrick\, shared a laugh in Dublin\, or had an adventure together in Thailand\, Germany\, or the States—we need you. Tickets priced at €20 are on sale now. \nEvery penny goes directly to Colin’s care. If you can’t make it\, buy a ticket anyway. If you can make it\, bring someone who hasn’t had the pleasure of meeting Colin yet. The man himself plans to be there to enjoy the night with us all. Let’s show this disease that while it may be “incurable\,” it’s got nothing on the community Colin Howell helped to build. \nSee you in Dublin this July. \n— Mike Got Spiked\, Cousin It\, & Friends
