The Laugh Pack – Home for the Holidays!

The Laugh Pack – Home for the Holidays!

Mark Riccadonna (SNL, Drybar) and the human jukebox Justin Gonzalez (Carnegie Hall, the Comedy Cellar) are excited to bring the Laugh Pack back to the Broad Brook Opera House! This year they will be bringing a new friend to the party: Comedy Hypnotist Bob Lauver!

Mark Riccadonna pursued Theatre at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and, soon after, stumbled upon Stand-Up Comedy. He is a gifted storyteller with a charisma that makes you feel like you’ve known him forever, a unique delivery, a signature voice, and likability; you will see why he is a favorite at clubs and theatres everywhere. Mark also performs for Armed Forces Entertainment and has entertained U.S. and U.N. Troops worldwide. Recently, he filmed a Comedy Special for Dry Bar and The Beaz Hive on Amazon and was a contributing writer for Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update.”

Justin Gonzalez performs a diverse repertoire of music spanning Jazz, the American Songbook, the music of Freddie Mercury and Queen, Broadway, and favorites from the classical and operatic stage. Justin has performed with some of the best classical and popular music acts in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and the Cathedral Notre Dame in Paris.

As a comedian and storyteller, he has entertained audiences at clubs such as the Comic Strip Live, Candlelight Comedy Club, and the Comedy Cellar in NYC. Justin has also performed in the NYC Comedy Festival and most recently as part of the opening weekend of the Good Karma Mid-Atlantic Regional Comedy Festival.

And Comedy Hypnotist Bob Lauver! What happens when you combine a professional touring comic with a stage hypnotist? You get an unforgettable night of laughter and amazement! While stand up comedy was always the passion, Bob became intrigued with Hypnosis after opening for a stage hypnotist show. The rest was history. He has built a Comedy Hypnosis show that will leave your sides hurting from laughter and your mind blown from seeing what your friends can do under hypnosis!

The Laugh Pack is a show you will come and see again and again so don’t miss it!

Neighbor with Special Guest Creamery Station!

Friday, January 17, 2025 – 8:00 PM EST

Neighbor

The band Neighbor began over 35 years ago – they just didn’t know it yet. Childhood neighbors Richard James (vocals, keys) and Lyle Brewer (guitar) shared fence lines and melodies as they both grew and explored their own musical paths. The quartet became complete with the addition of Dan Kelly (bass) and Dean Johnston (drums) in 2019. Their creative incubation began with a weekly residency that grew in large part by the passion of their fans, the “Neighbors,” who continue to inspire the band as the fan base has expanded across the country.

With a diverse catalog of hundreds of songs, the musical juggernaut Neighbor has become one of the most exciting and unpredictable live bands on the music scene today. Neighbor combines ambitious composition, soulful balladry, and a fearless approach to their lengthy improvisations. Not boxed in by a single genre, their songwriting brings elements of Americana, Funk, Rock, Jazz, Soul and more. The band is putting pen to paper once again as they head back into the studio to begin work on their second album.

Come see what’s good in the Neighborhood.

Creamery Station

“On the scene for 10 years now, Creamery Station has truly found it’s greener pastures. After all tours were canceled in 2020, the band rebounded with a new album that hit #1 on the Relix National Radio Charts as well as multiple cross country tours since things have reopened.

They have begun to expand upon their jams and create unique live musical experiences full of harmony rich roots inspired songs that have stories to tell and deep jams that can bring you somewhere else entirely and back again!”

From Crazy Horse to all of your acoustic favorites.

It’s hard to represent the wide-array of Neil Young’s influential material in one show, but that’s exactly what the band HARVEST & RUST does. Based in Western Massachusetts, the core members of HARVEST & RUST often augment their show with other well-known local musicians to reproduce every era of Neil Young’s music. Be it the chart-topping HARVEST material (including Old Man, Heart of Gold, etc.) to the electric explorations of RUST NEVER SLEEPS (Hey Hey My My, etc.), as well as songs from Neil’s time in Crosby Stills Nash & Young and Buffalo Springfield, you’re in for a night of “complete Neil”.

HARVEST & RUST members are Matt Cahill, Andy Gordon, John Kiernan, Garrett Lechowski and Jim Reynolds.

KASHMIR – The Spirit of Led Zeppelin Live!

Saturday, April 19, 2025 – 8:00 PM EST

Introducing KASHMIR featuring Jean Violet – The Spirit of Led Zeppelin Live! Kashmir was created by vocalist Jean Violet back in 2000. It has grown from the streets of New York City to now being one of the top Led Zeppelin Tribute bands touring nationally and internationally. Experience the mythos and magic of Led Zeppelin – the hits and deep cuts that you’ve loved all of your life, with the visual dynamism you’d expect from a Zep show. See Jean as the personification of a young Robert Plant, with his long, golden mane and powerful, seductive vocal delivery. Witness Kevin Slover in his iconic black dragon suit, strutting the stage like a young, cocky Jimmy Page delivering his blistering, raucous riffs with both power and finesse. …and multi instrumentalist Lenny Lee – as someone who’s long been inspired by the playing and creativity of John Paul Jones – is a natural in the role of “Jonesy”, having performed these songs live for many years. Finally, David Blampied, “keeper of the groove”, is equally adept at the subtle, nuanced passages as well as the thunderous grooves Bonham is known for, creating a dynamic driving force for this powerful rhythm section.

As fate would have it, the members of KASHMIR featuring Jean Violet do bear a resemblance to their counterparts in Led Zep, so beyond the power and intensity of their sound, there’s a visual realism that truly completes the experience. Do yourself a favor and get out to see KASHMIR featuring Jean Violet, and behold them as they embody the Spirit of Led Zeppelin Live, and transport you to a time when Giants Walked the Earth!
