DAR Museum

Well before its heyday in the middle of the 19th century, incorporating hair into jewelry was a way to remember loved ones both in life and after death. Through the examples in the collection of the DAR Museum we’ll examine the history and symbolism of this once quite common type of adornment.
Speaker: Heidi Campbell-Shoaf, Director and Chief Curator, DAR Museum
The event is free, but pre-registration is requested. This event is taking place in-person but will be streaming online.

The Hamilton Live

THE HEADHUNTERS
Few bands can boast a history as fortuitous and storied as The Headhunters. What each member brings to the table forged a history that most bands can only dream of. Their blend of jazz with funk and rock would go on to sell over a million albums worldwide, while the band's legacy would inspire musicians of every genre for years to come, be sampled by hundreds of hip-hop artists throughout the '80s and '90s, and influence countless musicians' playing today. The Headhunters' impact remains a global phenomenon, and their time with Hancock proved to be a life changing experience. The band has released 8 more albums stepping out on their own sans Hancock's involvement starting with Survival of the Fittest in 1975 and on Straight from the Gate in 1977 and most recently Speakers In the House in 2022 and Live From Brooklyn Bowl in 2023.
"What Bill and I and The Headhunters do is experience the moment and explore. We're not in a gym, this isn't a competition. This is art. The Headhunters is an act of passion, of love for humanity, and for our planet." - Mike Clark
"We live this every day. We have some secrets to give to the youth of the world. We’re not musicians, we are physicians. We heal people." - Bill Summers.
The current band consists of a top notch quintet with Clark, Summers and Harrison joined by bassist Chris Severin (Dr. John, Diana Krall, The Neville Brothers) and pianist Kyle Roussel (Preservation Hall Jazz Band), both staples on the New Orleans music scene. Managed by Greg Lucas and Craig Walker at Devil Hills Entertainment, the band is poised for success in 2024, having recorded a new album (and accompanying feature length documentary) at the legendary Hyde Street Studios in August 2023 and completed a sold out European tour in November 2023 including two nights at the London Jazz Festival.

"Remarkably masterful, fresh-sounding, and creatively restless… For over 50 years, The Headhunters have continually reinvented themselves.” - ALL MUSIC
SOL ROOTS
The Sol Roots band performs a mix of New Orleans influenced funk, deep blues, energetic rock, heartfelt soul, and hypnotic grooves. Sol is a ferocious guitarist and vocalist who has toured around the world with many musical legends.
The Sol Roots band has shared the stage with acts such as Jon Cleary, Soulive, Dumpstaphunk, The Wood Brothers, Sonny Landreth, Robert Randolph, Eric Lindell, Roosevelt Collier, Cory Henry, Victor Wainwright, Booker T Jones, Walter "Wolfman" Washington, Shemekia Copeland, Jackie Greene and many more.
Guided by a deep admiration for his musical mentors and a passion for Universal Music, Sol emerges with a distinctive, powerful voice, accompanied by a talented band of musicians.
Sol Roots is an official Home Grown Music Network artist and a "Next Generation" Music Maker Foundation artist.
"Sol performs a soulful blend of rock and blues, with a natural stage presence" - Jambase
"Sol has toured the world with some of the biggest names in funk and blues... This fiery guitarist's influences span the country, and the globe" - District Fray
