Past Shows
Josh Christina Band
May 2023 “…an infectious blend of piano driven, high-octane boogie-woogie and pop ’n’ roll.” Think of a mix between Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, and Elton John and you’ve got Josh Christina. If you’re a fan of piano driven rock ‘n’ roll, Josh will restore your confidence in the ability of young musicians to carry on the great tradition of the rock pioneers. He writes his own music, refurbishes the classics, and plays a mean piano. He’s also known for creating legendary live performances with his band. Don’t miss your chance to see this rock ‘n’ roll revivalist in his element—performing for music lovers of all ages. Check-out Josh Christina here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOVtfqCgBUo.

The Mommyheads. An Indie Rock Treasure.
June 9, 2022 - The Mommyheads have been a vital part of the indie rock scene over the past three decades. The New York quartet has released 13 albums of complex, addictively melodic pop tunes, including 1997’s self-titled album for Geffen Records (produced by the legendary Don Was). The band’s latest album, Age Of Isolation, reflects the cultural mood over the past couple years while finding some solace in the company of friends and the joys of live music. We can all relate to that.
Kentavius Jones & Friends Unplugged
A WHCP Radio Expansion Celebration!
R&B and soulful rock at the 447 Venue downtown Cambridge
August 2023 Kentavius Jones is part of a new generation of music artists with new energy and purpose on the Eastern Shore. A regional favorite, Kentavius grew up listening to Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix on his father’s turntable. A gifted vocalist and guitarist, Kentavius nods to those influences while fashioning a unique brand of soulful rock. KJ killed it last year as one of WHCP’s event series performers, so by popular demand he is back! And he is bringing some of his musician friends as well. Do not miss this opportunity to celebrate WHCP’s expansion this summer into the greater Mid-Shore!
See It Loud: The Globe Poster Story. Cambridge Film Premiere.
September 29, 2022 - For decades, Globe Poster created iconic concert posters for a who’s who of African-American music: from Muddy Waters and James Brown to Aretha Franklin and Tupac Shakur. The Baltimore-based letterpress company went out of business in 2010 but has thrived since partnering with a local art school. See It Loud documents Globe’s impressive legacy and inspiring resurrection and features interviews with fans such as filmmaker John Waters, acclaimed bluesman Bobby Rush, soul legend Solomon Burke, Flaming Lips singer Wayne Coyne, and others. This feature-length film illustrates how something old can become new again, with an infusion of new ideas and fresh energy.
