NORTH ADAMS - Armed with a whole set of original songs and backed by a stellar new band, avant-blues fiddler, mandolinist and singer Charlie Burnham's step into the spotlight has been a long time coming. Burnham and his band Hidden City take the MASS MoCA stage on August 16, 2008 at 8 p.m. outside under the stars in the Dre Wapenaar Pavilion (or Club B-10 in case of rain.)

The guitar/bass/cello/violin quartet features Burnham's gospel-inflected vocals over inspirational acoustic arrangements. All About Jazz raves "worldly and other-worldly sounds can be heard from Burnham's musical and personal journeys as his soulful voice and violin lead you down some open roads and dark alleys, and bring you to some spots you may not have known even exist."

Hidden City's sound explores the traditional American song book as well as Burnham's own compositions, a combination which lands the band in a niche all their own. Downtown Music Gallery explains "One can expect deeply felt instrumental passages entwined amongst Mr. Burnham's unique interpretations of lyrics both old and new."

Tickets for Hidden City featuring Charlie Burnham are $14 in advance/ $18 day of show. MASS MoCA members receive a 10% discount. Tickets are available through the MASS MoCA Box Office located off Marshall Street in North Adams, open from 10 AM to 6 PM everyday. Tickets can also be charged by phone by calling 413-662-2111 during Box Office hours or purchased on line at www.massmoca.org.
