Racky Thomas Blues Band at Pitman's Freight Room Friday night

LACONIA — Pitman's Freight Room at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia is pleased to present The Rackey Thomas Blues Band Friday Evening February 1 at 8 p.m.
The Racky Thomas Band has been a torchbearer for the blues since its formation in 1995, when Racky Thomas collaborated with bassist Todd Carson, guitarist Nick Adams, and drummer Ted Larkin to make a demo cd, and do some gigs around the Boston area.
Racky Thomas has a vast repertoire of tunes – blues from world-class bluesmen, plantation gospel (the original blues), rocking electric blues, classic and obscure blues, and Racky Thomas blues, including "Matchbox Blues", "Biscuit-Bakin' Woman", "Mona", "Sugar-coated Love", "Big Road Blues", "Hoochie-Coochie Man", and "Mojo Workin'.
Gutsy vocals, down and dirty harmonica, smoking guitar, a killer rhythm section delivering pure unadulterated blues, and you've got the Racky Thomas Band. Twice nominated for Boston Music Awards, and winners of the 1997 Battle of the Blues bands, people only need to experience them once to become a believer. Admission is $10, doors open at 7:15 p.m. and Pitman's is a BYOB venue.

PSU Dance Premiere Gala Mixes Students and Professional Dancers February 2 at the Silver Center

PLYMOUTH — A daylong celebration of dance with master classes taught by Plymouth State University (PSU) faculty and members of Boston's Urbanity Dance will bring together dancers of all ages and experience levels from across the region February 2 at the Silver Center for the Arts.
Dancers, companies and studios submitted choreography for adjudication and possible acceptance into the gala performance at 8 p.m.
The gala is an evening of creative and vibrant choreography featuring Urbanity Dance, a community of dancers living and working in Boston, finding creativity in the city, a "collegiate epicenter" where they say there is "a concentration of ideas and multidisciplinary arts that have the capacity to open and change minds." The performers are nurses, teachers, administrators, accountants, scientists, students, lawyers, writers and researchers whose common denominator is dance.
Urbanity's style is an eclectic fusion of ballet, jazz and modern dance performed by dancers who inspire each other with inventive ideas and choreographic collaboration and who use their formal training to push boundaries.
The evening gala, in the Hanaway Theatre, will begin with a dessert reception at 7:30 p.m. in the Silver Center lobby. Guests are invited (but not required) to wear formal attire.
Tickets are $11 for adults and seniors and $8 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869. Tickets are also available online.
