Tickets, priced starting at $15 for adults and $10 for full-time Pepperdine students, are available by calling (310) 506-4522 or visiting arts.pepperdine.edu. In the eight years since their formation in the city of Galway, on the rugged west coast of Ireland, We Banjo 3 have garnered multiple awards and accolades as diverse as Billboard World No. 1 to Irish Times’ “Album of the Year” to Songlines Magazine’s “Top of the World” award. We Banjo 3 have become a touring phenomenon, the pride of their home country, in demand across Europe, Asia and the U.S. The band has played for U.S. and Irish presidents, members of U.S. Congress, and multiple ambassadors across Europe, as well as performing live at a multitude of Irish, folk and roots festivals in the U.S. We Banjo 3’s fifth album, “Haven,” released in July 2018, accentuates the band’s meteoric rise. Renowned for their loyal, irrepressible, and evergrowing legion of fans, alongside their constant critical acclaim, We Banjo 3 make a bold new foray with Haven, carving further footprint in the history of folk music. Similar to their three previous acclaimed studio albums — “String Theory” (2016), “Gather the Good” (2014) and “Roots of the Banjo Tree” (2012) — “Haven” relates to the band’s sublime fusion of Irish and American roots music, while continuing to grant audiences an encounter with the most authentic of traditional sounds. The We Banjo 3 personnel are two sets of brothers. Martin Howley (tenor banjo, mandolin, vocals) is a seventime all-Ireland Banjo and Mandolin champion, hailed for his innovation and tireless virtuosic energy, holds the distinction as the first Irish musician We Banjo 3 When: 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 19 Where: Pepperdine University’s Smothers Theatre, 24255 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu For tickets, which cost $15– $35 for adults, and $10 for Pepperdine students, call (310) 506-4522 or visit arts. pepperdine.edu. to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. Enda Scahill (tenor banjo, vocals) a renowned master of Irish banjo, has recorded with Ricky Skaggs, the Chieftains and many others; he also is an author acknowledged as one of the world’s leading authorities on Irish banjo. Fergal Scahill (fiddle, percussion, vocals) who enjoys an iconic standing in Ireland for both fiddle and bodhran, is a tireless collaborator whose many musical projects have left a harmonious international footprint. David Howley (lead vocals, guitar) is a singer of extraordinary presence and emotive range, and is credited with developing an entirely new style within the realm of Celtic guitar. We Banjo 3’s new record is a huge leap forward in the band’s musical development. Completely self-penned, and written in the midst of a huge Atlantic winter storm in Ireland, Haven charts the course of the band’s live experience, an invitation and exhortation to a safe, fun-fueled space for people to relax and enjoy great music. Tracks such as “Don’t Let Me Down,” “Light in the Sky,” and “Hold Onto Your Soul” tell the band’s story of the power of love and hope in the face of life’s adversities. “War of Love” is a bittersweet love song featuring Grammy-nominated Sierra Hull on vocals. The instrumental tracks once again underscore the melodic genius and technical wizardry of these multitalented musicians. More information about We Banjo 3 is available at webanjo3.com.

At the center of every circus rests a 42-foot ring full of thrills, laughs and excitement. “42FT – A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels” is the latest invention from the creative minds of Cirque Mechanics. The company dares audiences to leap into the circus ring and experience the timelessness of this evolving art form. The shows’ unique mechanical interpretation of the traditional, and its story full of the lore of the historic one-ring circus, create a welcoming place, like a big top, where audiences can be amazed. The action in 42FT is full of theatricality and a modern sensibility, showcasing a galloping mechanical metal horse and a rotating tent frame for strongmen, acrobats and aerialists. Cirque Mechanics was founded in 2004 by Boston native and German Wheel artist Chris Lashua, after the success of his collaborative project with the Circus Center of San Francisco, Birdhouse Factory. Cirque Mechanics quickly established itself as a premier American circus, with its unique approach to performance, inspiring storytelling and innovative mechanical staging. Spectacle Magazine hailed it as “the greatest contribution to the American circus since Cirque du Soleil.” Cirque Mechanics, although inspired by modern circus, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American ingenuity. The shows, rooted in realism, display a raw quality, rarely found in modern circus, that makes their message timeless and relevant. The stories are wrapped in circus acrobatics, mechanical wonders and a bit of clowning around. Prior to 42FT, the troupe had created three productions: “Birdhouse Factory,” “Boomtown” and “Pedal Punk.” “Pedal Punk” was presented at Pepperdine in January 2017.
