By Brian McClure

This program will be at Senior Services, 08337 M-140, South Haven
1:00 p.m.

Brian has performed professionally for over 17 years. His show consists of fiddle, guitar, vocals and bodhran drum. Enjoy a great variety of songs, from Celtic to American classics people know and love. What makes Brian stand out is his ability to connect with and energize the audience. One can expect a lively performance that will have you on the edge of your seat! Come to Senior Services to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the Scott Club!

Hailing from La Porte, IN, Brian has extensive training in music. Middle and High School Orchestra and Choir started his journey. While at Purdue University in West Lafayette he was a part of the Varsity Glee Club, where he performed over 100 shows a year, mostly on the road. One show that stands out is performing in Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops Symphony. Towards the end of college Brian began learning the great genre of Irish music, thanks to the pub Nine Irish Brothers, where he was the fiddler with a few bands; Trooper Thorn, Whiskey Runners, and Highland Reign. Moving to Paw Paw, MI in 2020, Brian began performing his one-man-band show using a loop pedal. He figured out how to incorporate a full band sound even though performing solo. Brian looks forward to a great future performing in Ireland and Celtic Festivals across the country.

A musician, composer, producer, educator, DJ, and recording artist from Washington, D.C., REDWOOD (born Sequoia Snyder) is redefining the boundaries of contemporary jazz. A recent graduate of Michigan State University’s Jazz Studies program, she has been mentored by jazz luminaries including Rodney Whitaker, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Jason Moran.

Fostered by early influences in gospel, R&B, hip-hop funk, soul, and pop, REDWOOD’s passion and talent led her to the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Her work has earned national recognition, including the Kennedy Center’s Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Residency and participation in Dee Dee Bridgewater’s Woodshed Network.

REDWOOD has performed with an impressive range of artists, including Kenny Barron, Cory Henry, Teri Lyne Carrington, Patrice Rushen, Jazzmeia Horn, Afrobeats star CKay, and the R&B band The Internet. She has also appeared with the New York City Ballet and at the Roots Picnic music festival.

Her debut album, Red 2 Go, showcases both her vocal and production talents and has been praised by outlets such as Earmilk, Stereofox, and NUNAR Magazine. Recent singles including “Dub” (featuring Ekep Nkwelle) and “Nana” further highlight her deep musical roots and personal storytelling. Earlier work, including her 2019 EP Sempervirens, reflects an artist whose originality defies easy categorization.

This concert is presented in collaboration with Foundry Hall and supported in part by Holtec-Palisades, Low Family Foundation, and Rotary Club of South Haven in memory of Carole Hodgman.

Programs are FREE and open to all!

All programs begin at 1:00 p.m. unless noted otherwise. This year’s programs and concerts will be a hybrid of in-person (at the Scott Club unless noted otherwise) and online. Non-members/guests please send email to info@scottclub.org to request a Zoom link.

The South Haven Scott Club was organized in 1883 as a reading circle and has been providing cultural events to the community ever since then in its Michigan historic site. Located at the corner of Phoenix Road and Pearl Street in South Haven, Scott Club is a stately Queen Anne style building of sandstone capped by a cupola of carved oak. Two historic windows of Austrian stained glass frame our east and west walls and serve as a cultural icon to the east entrance to the city.
