THE PARKER GIVES AUDIENCES EVENTS TO BE THANKFUL FOR THIS NOVEMBER
Published: Oct 28, 2022
– Just like a bountiful Thanksgiving table, Lillian S. Wells Hall at The Parker has created a menu catering to everyone’s tastes this November with jazz great Brian Culbertson, local crossover favorites Sons of Mystro, guitar icon Joe Satriani, the legendary Marshall Tucker Band, celebrations of Queen and John Denver, the return of the comedy duo Cat & Nat, the beloved film Dirty Dancing presented in concert, and an evening with digital journalist Andrew Callaghan.
The 2022/2023 TD Bank Jazz Series continues with An Evening with Brian Culbertson featuring Marcus Anderson and Marqueal Jordan on Thursday, November 3 at 7:30 p.m. Over the course of crafting a 20-album catalog and more than 30 Billboard no. 1 singles as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer, Culbertson has charted his own unique course in music. Label him jazz, and he makes a funk record. Call him an R&B artist and he drops an acoustic jazz trio collection. Brand him pop and he creates a 32-minute New Age opus. Culbertson burst onto the scene in 1994 with the chart-topping Long Night Out featuring keyboard-led contemporary jazz tracks. Whether you're listening to music from his latest album, XX, on record or live in concert, you're hearing an eclectic, entertaining and engaging set from an artist at the peak of his power. This event is presented by the Broward Center for the Performing Arts and AEG Presents. Tickets are $35-$65 with a $150 VIP ticket that includes a pre-show sound check.
The 2022/2023 Broward Center Dance and Classical Series presents Sons of Mystro on Sunday, November 6 at 6 p.m. Born in South Florida to a Jamaican father and Barbadian mother, Malcolm, 23, and his 20-year-old brother Umoja learned to play violin through South Florida's public school system and attended Dillard High School for the Performing Arts.

Joe Satriani: Earth Tour 2022-2023 is the chance to see the world's most successful solo guitar icon perform his mind-bending guitar daredevilry live on Friday, November 11 at 8 p.m. One of the most imaginative, brilliant and talented rock guitarists ever to strum six strings, Satriani has played guitar with Mick Jagger, Deep Purple and Chickenfoot.

His most recent studio album, Shockwave Supernova, has already been hailed as yet another creative breakthrough. Rolling Stone magazine said of the legendary axeman, "From the start, he possessed an inimitable approach to guitar that balanced melody and technicality, as well as elements of hard rock and jazz, in a way that made for a sound that made him a guitar hero to a generation of young wood shedders."
