October 23, 2024 (the 100th show)
On October 23, 2024, we closed out our 13th year of Songbird Concerts with an unforgettable evening—our 100th show! This milestone event brought together a powerhouse lineup of Hope Dunbar, Joe Thebeau, Beth Bombara, and Neil Salsich, each delivering performances that captured the heart and soul of what Songbird Concerts is all about.
From the moment the first chord rang out, the audience was swept into an evening of masterful storytelling and musical connection. Hope Dunbar’s evocative songwriting set the tone, weaving together narratives that felt both deeply personal and universally resonant. Joe Thebeau followed with a dynamic set, blending raw emotion with melodies that lingered long after the last note. Beth Bombara’s rich, roots-infused sound filled the space, effortlessly bridging folk and rock influences. And to close the night, Neil Salsich’s soulful vocals and magnetic stage presence left the room buzzing with energy.
A heartfelt thank you to these extraordinary artists for making our 100th show so special, and to the audience who brought their enthusiasm, appreciation, and love for live music. Your support has shaped Songbird Concerts into the welcoming, vibrant community it is today.
As we reflect on 13 years of music, friendships, and unforgettable performances, we’re already looking ahead to the next chapter. Here’s to more incredible nights, more songs that stay with us, and more moments that remind us why we gather to listen. See you at the next show!
