Spring Shows at Fairfield Theatre Company's Stage One

The Fairfield Theatre Company located on 70 Sanford Street in Fairfield has just announced a series of concerts in their award winning intimate 225 seat theatre that is consistently noted as the best place to hear live music in the entire region because of the quality of the sound, the intimacy of the space, and the caliber of the artists.

If you like the blues, don't miss the show on Saturday, March 21 with Roomful of Blues.  This band is a tour de force of horn-fired blues. So tight, and so right: a masterful combination of jumping, horn-heavy, hard-edged blues, and R&B.  Since '67, the group's deeply rooted blend of swing, rock 'n' roll, jump, blues and soul has earned it a slew of accolades. But you really don't need to know their history to join in the fun. If knowing they have earned five Grammy Award nominations, and seven Blues Music Awards gives them credibility for you, so be it.

For a change of pace, on March 29 the Pine Hill Project takes center stage. Pine Hill Project is the reunion of Richard Schindell and Lucy Kaplansky with special guest Larry Campbell. Their work together in the folk revival supergroup Cry Cry Cry represents a turning point in American folk music, and in their separate careers they have helped to broaden the definition of folk.

Each writer brings their own unique view to the project; Schindell, his esoteric story telling, and Kaplansky, her unique outlook on life. Schindell's work is hallmarked by the unlikely heroes that he depicts. Kaplansky left behind a career in clinical psychology in order to pursue songwriting, and has been a vital voice ever since.

The April 8 headliner is Lee Dewyze.  There is a special VIP package that includes a Pre-Show Meet & Greet and Acoustic
Dewyze is a cross between Cat Stevens and Paul Simon, and has certainly broken the mold of American Idol winners.

With his rough-hewn voice and laid-back Midwestern charm, DeWyze won over millions of viewers as a contestant and eventual winner of the 2010 season of American Idol. There's an easy-going sprit on his major-label debut Live It Up -- a breezy blend of rootsy pop, rock, and folk, anchored by DeWyze's soulful, husky voice and bright-sounding acoustic guitar.
