"BIKEncerto: a concerto for solo bicycle and orchestra"Ft. Reynaliz Herrera &amp; Ideas, Not Theories Reynaliz Herrera is a musical artist, percussionist &amp; composer based in Somerville, MA. She is also the founder &amp; artistic director, composer and lead performer of the theatrical percussion company for unconventional instruments, “Ideas, Not Theories”.Reynaliz’s work focuses extensively on the use of the bicycle as a musical instrument, and her creative process and goal in general, has been to explore and research the musical bike’s different capabilities by composing and performing her own bicycle music. She performs these compositions with her company “Ideas, Not Theories”.At The Cabot, Reynaliz will be performing her composition entitled “BIKEncerto: a concerto for solo bicycle and orchestra” an inventive work that reimagines the bicycle as a virtuosic percussion musical instrument. In this captivating performance, Herrera will appear as the bicycle percussion soloist, joined by her ensemble “Ideas, Not Theories”, performing as the concerto’s orchestra of strings and woodwinds. Structured in four movements, BIKEncerto explores the surprising musical possibilities of the bicycle — its melodic spokes, frame tubes, tuned tires, chainwheels, and wheel rims, transformed into a rich palette of rhythm, color and texture. Each movement highlights a different sonic character of the instrument, revealing how everyday objects can become vehicles for complex and sophisticated musical expression. By treating bicycles and unconventional percussion with the same seriousness and artistic care as traditional orchestral instruments, Herrera invites audiences to listen differently, discovering beauty, nuance and virtuosity in unexpected places.A 15 min Q&amp;A session will follow the performance of the piece. Reynaliz would like to dedicate this performance to her dad, Jesus Herrera.

The 10 members of No Static have performed the music of Steely Dan since 2005. Thousands of Dan lovers young and old have experienced the excitement they bring to every performance. Appearing at first-tier venues across New England and beyond, this talented band has earned the admiration and affection of critics and fans alike.
Based in Boston, No Static is&nbsp;one of the top Steely Dan tribute bands in the country. These dedicated musicians specialize in expertly performing the music of Steely Dan, re-creating that amazing bluesy jazz-rock sound invented by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. As Dan fans know, this is no small feat. The music is complex, spanning genres, requiring precise attention to musical detail, with subtle grooves, sophisticated vocal harmonies, iconic solos, and time and key changes popping up when least expected. Steely Dan is not an easy band to pay tribute to.
No Static has been nailing it for over 20 years now and their sold-out shows tell the tale. With passion and warmth they cover the breadth of Steely Dan’s great catalog, attracting some of Boston’s finest musicians, and working with guest performers including Steely Dan band members Walt Weiskopf (saxophonist) and Jon Herington (Music Director/guitarist).

Dueling Pianos is back. Bring your friends and have a ball. Dueling Pianos is a massive "to the top of your lungs" sing along with all your friends! Two grand pianos are center-stage with a team of outrageously talented pianists that seem to know every song ever written.
Each show is different because it's all request. And you or your friends might get called up onstage for a bit of good humored fun and some unforgettable you-tube moments. These shows are request oriented, interactive sing-a-longs wherein two piano players sit across from each other and trade songs. The dueling piano audience is used for the dueling aspect of the show. Audience members are pitted one-side-against-the-other. Examples of rivalries include country vs. rock, men against women, etc.
Dueling piano shows often take unexpected turns, like involving wait staff members, changing song lyrics or roasting popular audience members. There aren't many boundaries. It's one big sing-along party, swaying to the music and bellowing-out familiar lyrics. You're not just being entertained by the piano players - you are part of the show!
"Think YOU won't sing along? Just TRY not too.... I dare ya!"
