Mike Masse
The acclaimed acoustic guitarist heats up the fall concert season, accompanied by long-time friend and collaborator Jeff Hall. Known for his epic performances of classic rock covers, Masse is careful to remain true to what is beloved about the original recordings, while bringing his own masterful musical flair to each rendition. He has performed live as a vocalist with Barry Goudreau and Sib Hashian, former and original members of the band Boston, doing a set of all classic Boston songs, some of the most challenging rock vocals ever recorded. He invites everyone to join him for an intimate evening of classic rock.

On Stage

Festival of South African Dance
With more than 20 dancers and musicians, two dance companies — and two visions of South Africa — share one stage for a fascinating glimpse into life under apartheid. At times joyous, at times reflective, the Gumboots Dance Company performs Stimela the Musical, a unique tale of rural Africans who come by train in search of work in Johannesburg, where working the mines means better wages at the cost of a life away from family. The other half of the program features the Pantsula Dance Company, celebrating a uniquely South African style of dance that grew up on the streets under the apartheid regime. There, young men practiced for hours a day and developed a vision of a better life through dance.
Sunday, Oct. 1, 2 p.m. $54, $44. Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, LIU Post, Rte. 25A, Brookville. (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com or www.tillescenter.org.
