CAA Season Continues with a Busy February

CAA’s presenting season continues at break-neck pace with four programs scheduled in the first two weeks of February – the shortest month of the year. First up will be a return performance of Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles, direct from Broadway, on Tuesday, February 1. Rain covers the Fab Four from their earliest beginnings through the psychedelic late 60s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. Rain truly brings the Beatles back to life. You would swear that John, Paul, George and Ringo are on stage at the Aronoff Center playing their greatest hits before you.

On February 4, the tribute bands continue with Get The Led Out. Dubbbed by the media as “The American Led Zeppelin,” Get The Led Out re-creates the legendary British supergroup’s greatest hits in all their depth and glory.

A theatrical change of pace and one of the longest-running one-man shows in history – Steve Solomon’s My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish, and I’m in Therapy! – visits the Jarson-Kaplan Theater from February 11-13. This side-splitting comedy tells the story of Steve’s wild & wacky, but wonderful, family…with Steve playing all the characters!

Finally, bring your sweetheart to the Aronoff Center for Valentine’s Day and spend An Evening of Romance with Jim Brickman. Join America’s Grammy-nominated “romantic piano sensation” for this special Valentine’s Day concert on Monday, February 14.

February comes to a close as we welcome March in like a lion with another great concert at the Aronoff Center. On Friday, March 4, The Pink Floyd Experience returns with one epic concert, 200,000 watts of light, full quadraphonic sound, and six brilliant musicians singing all of Pink Floyd’s greatest hits.

In the final concert of the year, Jazz meets Bluegrass live on stage with American Legacies: The Preservation Hall Jazz Band together with The Del McCoury Band on Friday, May 20 in the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall. The meeting of these two acclaimed bands will create a seamless blend of soul-lifting traditional harmonies as the high and lonesome sound of the Appalachians meets the hot and lively jazz of New Orleans.

What a great way to end the season, as audiences witness the coming together of two legendary groups of musicians from two distinctly American musical lineages!
