The winter schedule of Me&Thee Music kicked off with a full house for the warm sounds of Brazilian Jazz and bossa nova by the Teresa Ines Quintet on Friday, February 3rd even with the subzero weather. Ines and Berklee College of Music musicians: Pianist Nando Michelin, flutist Fernando Brandão, Ebinho Cardoso on bass and South African percussionist Lumanyano Mzi were thanked with a sustained standing ovation by the sell-out crowd.

Coming February 17th, Marblehead’s own Hayley Reardon returns to the Me&Thee in a concert which was pandemic delayed from March, 2020. Since first appearing on the Me&Thee stage while in high school, Hayley moved to Nashville and become a critically acclaimed pop artist who has toured all through Europe. Her latest EP, The Good Light, was recorded in Barcelona with one of Spain’s finest guitarists Pau Figueres.

Coming on March 3, award-winner singer, songwriter, comedian, author and storyteller Don White and friends will present his North Shore Birthday Show. After ten CD’s, three live DVD’s and two books, White is still bringing laughter and tears to his audiences.

On March 24, The Nields travel from the Berkshires to appear at the Me&Thee for the first time in years. Sisters Nerissa and Katrina have performed with The Band, 10,000 Maniacs, James Taylor and the Indigo Girls. The Chicago Tribune wrote that “the marvelously expressive Nields provide vocals sounds at various times very much like the Bangles, the Roches and Alanis Morrissette.

The Me&Thee is supported in part by a grant from the Marblehead Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
