In the improvisational spirit of the musical community that surrounds the building at 23 East Lancaster Avenue, the Ardmore Music Hall presents “Everyone Loves Ardmore” featuring two nights of Everyone Orchestra on December 8 & 9.

Conducted by the energetic maestro Matt Butler, Everyone Orchestra (or “EO”) takes some of the best and brightest musical minds in the business and gathers them on a stage as they spontaneously create new music at venues, festivals, and philanthropic events across the nation. With an ever-changing lineup and 100% improvisation, each Everyone Orchestra show is a special new experience never to be replicated.

Each night of Everyone Loves Ardmore will feature a unique lineup and different opening acts, and elements of Grateful Dead music each night will layer a familiar music tradition on top.

The December 8th show will feature one set of “Everyone’s Dead” and one set of Everyone Orchestra improvisation with a stacked lineup including:

John Kadlecik (Furthur) on guitar

Claude Coleman Jr. (Ween) on drums

Aron Magner (The Disco Biscuits) on keys

Looking for a cool musical weekend getaway with a little bit of something for everyone? Look no further than The Range! Named "Southwestern NH's Greatest Music Venue You've Never Heard Of" by Cider Mag, family-owned & operated and proudly serving their community since 1992. The Range is a destination for locals and travelers alike!

Nestled in the quaint town of Mason, New Hampshire, just a few miles from Nashua, lies The Range. Located amongst rolling green hills, Marty's Driving Range was started over 25 years ago by the Ruggiero family. Over time it has evolved into The Range, an all-inclusive destination with a driving range (natural grass & artificial tee areas, chipping area & club rentals), restaurant (dine in or take out), ice cream shop (40+ flavors of Gifford's Ice Cream), Tiki Bar and a unique outdoor concert venue. About a drive years ago, the venue received a lot of publicity as it battled the town for approval for becoming a music venue. But justice prevailed for this valuable community hub of music, food and fun for all-ages. As we move into the 2021 Summer season, the venue has rolled with the punches and offers an exciting new event series, all within Covid-safe guidelines.

Following the unexpected cancellation of Ween’s highly anticipated tour, including the landmark 30th-anniversary tribute to Chocolate and Cheese at the Mann Center, devoted Ween fans are invited to come together in celebration of the iconic experimental rock band. Learn 2 Ween Live, a rising two-man Ween tribute group, will take the stage at the World Cafe Live on Friday, September 27, 2024, for a night of nostalgia, deep cuts, and all things Ween.

With a passion for recreating the band’s eclectic and beloved catalog, Learn 2 Ween will perform two full sets featuring Ween classics, fan favorites, and obscure gems, bringing the spirit of Ween to life in an intimate, high-energy setting. The tribute will offer fans the chance to relive the magic of the band’s genre-defying music in a live setting. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to Backline, a non-profit organization supporting mental health and wellness for music industry professionals and their families.

World Cafe Live, located at 3025 Walnut Street in Philadelphia, will provide the ideal atmosphere for this special celebration. Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the show beginning at 8:00 PM. The night will also feature exclusive Ween-themed merchandise, opportunities to learn more about supporting Backline, and a chance for fans to connect with the tight-knit Ween community.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through the World Cafe Live box office or online at bit.ly/927WCL. This is a must-attend event for Ween fans old and new, whether they’ve been following the band since The Crucial Squeegie Lip or recently discovered their ever-evolving sound.

About Learn 2 Ween

Learn 2 Ween is a two-man tribute band hailing from Philly/South NJ, paying homage to the early days of Ween with an old-school approach. The duo, featuring Jeff Mann (drummer of Consider the Source) and Dr. Scorpion, recreates a wide range of the Ween catalog using live loops and acoustic sets. Dr. Scorpion is well-known in the Ween community for his educational YouTube channel Learn 2 Ween, where he’s amassed over 6,000 subscribers and has posted over 200 guitar lesson videos dedicated to Ween songs.

The duo’s formation was nothing short of serendipitous. After Jeff spotted a Learn 2 Ween sticker on a local sign and tagged the Instagram page, the two musicians connected and realized they lived in neighboring towns. Since then, they’ve been on a mission to spread the genius and humor of Ween’s music to audiences everywhere.
