Duke Performances announces 2013-14 season, Nick Sanborn, Bombadil, Joe Henry, Chick Corea & more

It's that time of year again where local performing arts groups start announcing their plans for the next year. Duke Performances has offered one of the best programs around for quite a while now and this season's lineup includes some ambitious new programs as well as a quite a few familiar faces.

Highlights of the 2013-14 season include gospel group The Blind Boys of Alabama, country singer-songwriter Guy Clark and Mandolin Orange, Nick Sandborn's Lend Me Your Voice, Love's Infrastructure featuring music by Bombadil and puppetry by Torry Bend, jazz star Pat Metheny and his Unity Group, Joe Henry and Over the Rhine and jazz great Chick Corea.

Nick Sandborn's Lend Me Your Voice project is particularly intriguing. Locals will know him has Megafaun's touring bassist since the release of their self-titled album. The aptly titled Lend Me Your Voice will feature tons of guests including Brad Cook (Megafaun), Joe Westerlund (Megafaun, Grandma Sparrow), William Tyler (Lambchop, Silver Jews, Paper Hats), Erin Fein (Headlights, Psychic Twin), Amelia Meath (Mountain Man, Sylvan Esso), Chris Porterfield (Field Report) and Chris Rosenau (Collections of Colonies of Bees). The performance will take place on November 1 and 2 in the Nelson Music Room.
