The Courthouse Center for the Arts is hosting to performances this weekend.

Hey Nineteen March 4 at 8 p.m., $25

Hey Nineteen is the Nation’s top Steely Dan tribute band. An 11-piece group of professional musicians with the theoretical knowledge and musicality required to master the complex music of Steely Dan. They have packed venues throughout New England and are well known for their high energy show as well as their “spot on” steely sound.

Tom Rush March 5 at 8 p.m., $45

Tom Rush helped shape the folk revival of the ’60s and its rebirth in the ’80s and ’90s with his music inspiring and influencing generations of artists. In a Rolling Stone interview, James Taylor called Rush one of his heroes and one of his main influences. Country legend Garth Brooks called Rush one of his top five influences. Tom Rush is well known for bringing his audiences new artists, both live and in recordings, helping names such as Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin become commonplace. Tom’s shows often sell out, and his fun personality and outlook on any topic are an evening well-spent.

The Courthouse Center for the Arts, a non-profit community-based arts organization located in West Kingston, was founded in 1989. The group’s mission is to provide to the greater Rhode Island community exceptional arts programs, linked to gallery exhibits, musical performances, theatre productions and educational opportunities. The Courthouse is committed to providing accessible, affordable programming for adults and children, while preserving the 120 year old historic Washington County Courthouse as its home.
