Cozy up in one of the comfortable seats with a cocktail in our listening lounge and settle in for an evening of rich live blues music here at Alla Spina.

ABOUT JT BLUES

“JTBlues” is the nom de musicien of John “JT” Thompson, an inimitable fixture in the central Pennsylvania music scene. You may have seen him as the keyboard player in one of the various groups he performs with, or as a soloist, perhaps playing gentle music in the background during dinner, or rocking out as The One-Man Piano Band.

Influenced by great piano players like Dr. John, Ann Rabson, Professor Longhair, and Bill Payne, JT’s style is rooted in the Blues, but his repertoire encompasses much more than that.

He’s released two albums of music, “Chase Away Your Blues” and “This Way That Way,” has been a Jamarama host on the Legendary Blues Cruise, and a
finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennesseee

ABOUT ANDY TOLINS

Andy Tolins is an award-winning guitarist, songwriter, and singer. His repertoire includes bluegrass, celtic, blues, rock & roll, and swing. Tolins sings and arranges both his own tunes and traditional fiddle tunes, blues, and other roots-oriented music. He plays guitars, National steel, mandolin, and dobro, and technique has earned him a reputation as a fine soloist. He arranges and produces both his music and that of other musicians as well.

Tolins also leads both the Triple A Blues Band and the Tolins' Bluegrass Revue. Triple A's debut CD,   Highwater, earned Billboard/Musician Magazine's Best Unsigned Band Competition. The quintet is a powerhouse of urban and country blues, featuring Tolins' vocals and steel and electric guitars, accompanied by organ, piano, and wailing harmonica.

BEER : Orval Day 2026
Mar
21
4:00 PM16:00

BEER : Orval Day 2026

Join us to celebrate one of our favorite beer traditions… ORVAL DAY!!! Proudly, we celebrate with both vintage and young bottles as one of the officially recognized Orval Day Venues in the United States. Be sure to stop by to enjoy a glass, or better yet make that two, and experience the magical beer that is Orval!!!

ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE

  • Pay-as-you-go event. Free to attend. No cover charge.

  • Vintage and Current Bottles Available.

ABOUT ORVAL DAY

The Orval legend began almost 1,000 years ago, when a princess accidentally dropped her ring into a spring and a trout returned it. It continues now, with a day to reflect on and enjoy this amazing Trappist ale.

On Orval Day, devotees of Orval Trappist Ale – and some folks who maybe have not tried it yet – convene to celebrate one of the world’s unique and highly-respected beers.

Orval Trappist Ale was the first Brett beer to land on US shores, and has become the favorite beer for many star American brewers. ( “Brett” – brettanomyces – is a yeast variety that adds appetizing, sharp acidity and dryness.) Orval is brewed to exquisite perfection within the walls of Notre Dame d’Orval Monastery in Belgium. It’s delicious when it leaves the brewery, but also evolves in the bottle for five years or more.

Each year we make a donation to charity based on US sales of Orval on Orval Day.

Jazz is back at Alla Spina with Love Salad. This evening's performance features An Lai on vocals backed by Dr. Joshua Davis (Director of Penn State Jazz) on bass/nord, and special guest students from the Penn State Jazz Department!

ABOUT LOVE SALAD

LOVE SALAD: An Lai – voice | Todd Harrison – drums | Joshua Davis – bass/nord

Love Salad is a pop/jazz/soul quartet trio built around the extraordinary vocal presence of An Lai and powered by two virtuosos whose backgrounds span funk, jazz, and progressive rock. Their setlist pulls from SZA, Yebba, Sting, Roberta Flack, Corinne Bailey Rae, and selections from their own 2018 album Total Eclipsed Me (available on Spotify, Apple Music, and more).

The bass, and drums reshape each groove into something fresh — a deep D’Angelo-style pocket colliding with the colorful improvisation of Weather Report, all framing An Lai’s expressive, genre-blurring vocal style.

 Murali Haran, tabla player from India and statistics professor, brings with him a performance background that has been almost exclusively in South Asian classical music.

 Sophie Augusta Rusnock, pedal harp player from Canada and traveling pharmacist, brings with her a background largely in European classical and folk music.

Frances Blanchette, educator and linguist from Massachusetts, will season the performance with a cameo on vocals.

 FARMER, HARAN, & RUSNOCK draw largely from the catalog of Eric Ian Farmer, Centre County-born singer/songwriter and educator, alongside group-crafted originals as well as interpretations of pop and folk songs.

ABOUT ERIC IAN FARMER

Born in State College, Pennsylvania and raised in North Carolina, Eric Ian Farmer, a Black man with Blackfeet and Cherokee heritage, has returned to his birthplace sharing his songs about relationships, social awareness, and finding one's path in life while keeping alive classics by artists like Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, and Bill Withers. Eric learned the practice of becoming one with a song from Bonnie Carter and David Williams, singers in the church of his childhood just across the North Carolina state line in Danville, Virginia. A bass in tenor's clothing, Eric also draws inspiration as a singer from popular artists like Bobby McFerrin, Stevie Wonder, and Jimmy Hayes (The Persuasions). And his guitar playing is inspired by the percussive stylings of rock legend Bo Diddley.

Eric has opened or played pre-shows for the Soweto Gospel Choir, Bettye LaVette, Charly Lowry, Luciane Dom, and Rusted Root; performed at Musikfest (Bethlehem PA); and served on the faculty at Folk College (Juniata College, Huntingdon PA).

Eric completed his doctorate in Penn State University's College of Education. You sometimes can find him in classrooms singing songs and talking with young folks about songwriting and issues related to identity.

Legends such as Art Blakey, Jackie McLean, Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, McCoy Tyner, James Moody, Sonny Rollins, Jaco Pastorius, Frank Morgan, Pepper Adams, Pat Metheny, Archie Shepp and many others have required his versatile talent and skill on the drums. - JazzTimes

Joining Ronnie (drums, percussion, keyboard, vocals) on stage is his Holographic Principle line up consisting of members Benito Gonzales (keyboard), Yuto Kanazawa (guitar), and Mike Boone (bass).

ABOUT RONNIE BURRAGE

 

Ronnie Burrage is a world-renowned percussionist, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, and producer. Currently serving as a professor at CUNY Brooklyn College, he is recognized as one of the finest jazz musicians on the international scene today, with an extensive discography spanning over 170 recordings.

The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, and more.

ABOUT BENITO GONZALES

 

Benito Gonzales is a 2x Grammy Awards Nominee puniest and producer who won the 2005 Great America Jazz Piano Competition and was honored in 2020 to be a Steinway & Sons artist for “his sound [that] is recognizable for the powerful rhythm section and Afro-Latin patterns he prioritizes across his projects.” The Venezuela-born, New York-based artist grew up playing traditional Venezuelan folk music with his family before absorbing the inventiveness of such pianists as Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner,Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett who inspired him to join in the explorations on the instrument.

Gonzalez made his way to U.S. to play shows with Ghanaian master drummer Okyerema sante that led to a recording. “After my first six months here, I decided to stay in this country to learn the music right,” Gonzalez said. Gonzalez went on to play with Jackie McLean in 2003, then joined Kenny Garrett’s quartet for seven years until 2013—during which time he garnered two Grammy band nominations. After his stint with Garrett, he played with saxophonist Azar Lawrence’s band and then in 2019 joined saxophone legend Pharoah Sanders as his pianist/musical director.

Through the course of his career, Gonzalez has been instrumental as a sideman in performing and recording with such jazz greats as Bobby Hutcherson, Dave Liebman, Gary Bartz, Curtis Fuller, Al Foster, Lenny White, Billy Hart, Ignacio Berroa, Jeff”Tain”Watts, Buster Williams, Rene McLean, Steve Turre, Delfeayo Marsalis, Hamiet Bluiett, Ron Blake, Antonio Sanchez, Mark Gross, and Azar Lawrence.

Gonzalez also recorded his own albums, including Starting Point (2004) and Circles (2010), then continued his solo career with Dream Rhapsody (2015) with Slavic flutist/vocalist Sisa Michalidesová, and a loving tribute to McCoy Tyner Passion Reverence Transcendence (2018).

With propulsive pulse and Afro-Latin percussive drive, Gonzalez placed rhythm at the core of 2021’s Sing to the World, his fifth album and first released on the St. Petersburg, Russia label Rainy Days Records. He assembled an impressive team of collaborators, including Christian McBride, Essiet Okon Essiet, Jeff “Tain” Watts, and Nicholas Payton as well as rising stars Russian drummer Sasha Mashin, trumpeter Josh Evans.

In addition to his slow-to-upbeat originals, Gonzalez added to the set list two compositions that had never been recorded by their composers: Roy Hargrove’s soulful “Father” and the “Tain” beauty “416.” After almost seven years of touring with Kenny Garrett, Benito has added numerous festivals and international jazz club dates to his credit. In 2019 he joined legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders as pianist and musical director.

ABOUT YUTO KANAZAWA

 

Yuto Kanazawa is a genre-blending Japanese jazz guitarist based in NYC. Born in Tokyo in 1986, his musical journey began at age three with Yamaha Music School, where he studied basic reading/rhtyhms and keyboards. His next-door neighbor, flamenco guitar luthier Mr. Sato, would occasioanlly tune guitars late at night—mysterious sounds that would later shape Yuto’s path.

 At age ten, Yuto’s family moved to Fukushima. There, he discovered his father’s classical guitar in the attic and began playing Japanese pop and rock, eventually delving into heavy metal during his teenage years. In the absence of local guitar teachers, he taught himself through tablature, VHS tapes, and DVDs.

 After high school, Yuto attended the Koyo Conservatory in Kobe, studying jazz—particularly under guitarist Hiroshi Tsuchino and pianist the late Masako Hamamura—and taking masterclasses with guitarists Mike Stern and Allen Hinds. He soon began gigging regularly, performing with a variety of groups, including a jazz band with now-renowned ambient pianist Hideyuki Hashimoto, a Beatles cover band, jazz duos, and organ trios.

 In 2007, Yuto moved to the United States to attend Berklee College of Music, where he was mentored by guitarists Mick Goodrick, Tim Miller, and trombonists Hal Crook and Phil Wilson. While there, he formed a band with bassist Zwelakhe Duma Bell le Pere and drummer Jonathan Pinson, performing regularly at a local bowling lounge. In 2012, they recorded his debut album Earthwards with Norwegian clarinetist Felix Peikli, Puerto Rican saxophonist Mario Castro, and Grammy-winning vocalist Kurt Elling, released on Interrobang Records.

 Since then, Yuto has released more than ten albums as a leader/co-leader, won the International Songwriting Competition in the Jazz category, and been a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. He has signed with Universal Music Group’s UNXT (now under Virgin Music Group) as well as Japanese label Apollo Sounds.

 During the pandemic, Yuto returned to classical guitar and rekindled his passion for flamenco, now performing with Barcelona-born flamenco dancer and actress Paloma de Vega. He also began releasing bolero solo guitar recordings on Spotify, where his music has been streamed over three million times worldwide. In parallel, he became a prominent jazz guitar influencer, building an Instagram following of over 100,000.

 Yuto has toured internationally in Japan, Korea, the U.S., Mexico, and Guatemala, and performed at iconic NYC venues such as Blue Note, B.B. King’s Blues Club, Fat Cat, Cleopatra’s Needle, Bar Next Door, Red Lion, Smalls Jazz Club, Arthur’s Tavern and Ornithology Jazz Club. He currently co-leads the Woodsiders Collective and hosts a weekly jam session at Chowk NYC.

 Other current projects include No Day But Today, a duo with Japanese vocalist Jun Izumi covering Pat Metheny songs; a weekly solo guitar residency at the Marriott Vacation Hotel; In the Future, a cutting-edge jazz/post-punk–infused band with keyboardist Andrew McGowan and vocalist Melanie Giselle; and regular performances with the Kyoko Oyobe Band at Cellar Dog NYC.

Yuto also joined to the legendary drummer Ronnie Burrage’s Holographic Principle band in 2025 performing with Lonnie Plaxico, Bryan Carrot, Darryl Yokley, Ahmed McLemore, and Luca Mendoza. 

 Over the years, Yuto has also recorded with Grammy-winning bassist Lonnie Plaxico, Kaleta (Fela Kuti’s Egypt 80), Mike Mitchell, Takeshi Ohbayashi, Chris Parker, Lafayette Harris, Bikki Gurung, Myungsup Shin, Hoo Kim, KyuMin Shim, Hironori Momoi, Ilya Dynov, Ai Ichikawa, Goro Katano, Rina Komai, Takafumi Nikaido, Yuto Mitomi, Luis Sigüenza, Justus Heher, Diego Diaz and Sunnyside Electric band, and has performed with acclaimed artists including Kuni Mikami, Ruben Rodriguez, Steve Davis, Stacy Dillard, Ed Cherry, Joe Dyson, Tomoko Ohmura, Takuya Kuroda, J.K Kim, Petros Klampanis, Julian Shore, Jonathan Barber, Rogério Boccato, Ron McClure, Mike Whitfield Jr., Roberto Giaquinto, Gregg Errico and Jerry Martini (Sly & The Family Stone), Randy Jackson (Zebra), and Tony Machine (New York Dolls) to name a few.

Now a physician assistant (PA) in pulmonary medicine and mother of two beautiful boys, Robin enjoys a wide range of music and styles and is the chief architect of Bird and Bard's songlist. Her singing is powerful, emotive, endearing, and inspiring.

He most recently worked with Miss Melanie’s acoustic neo-soul, Kick the Footlights classic country, Grandma Ben’s Dark Americana, and the songwriting collaborative TuneSmith.

A bass in tenor's clothing, Eric also draws inspiration as a singer from popular artists like Bobby McFerrin, Stevie Wonder, and Jimmy Hayes (The Persuasions). And his guitar playing is inspired by the percussive stylings of rock legend Bo Diddley.

Eric has opened or played pre-shows for the Soweto Gospel Choir, Bettye LaVette, Charly Lowry, Luciane Dom, and Rusted Root; performed at Musikfest (Bethlehem PA); and served on the faculty at Folk College (Juniata College, Huntingdon PA).

LIVE MUSIC: Thompson 'n Tolins

We’re getting 2026 started off on the right foot with a casual evening filled with the sounds of two extremely talented blues artists and local legends. John “JT” Thompson and Andy Tolins join forces for an intimate evening filled with captivating blues, blues rock, American roots, and soul tunes.

Cozy up in one of the comfortable seats with a cocktail in our listening lounge and settle in for an evening of rich live music while saying hello to the promise of a new year with us here at Alla Spina.

ABOUT JT BLUES

“JTBlues” is the nom de musicien of John “JT” Thompson, an inimitable fixture in the central Pennsylvania music scene. You may have seen him as the keyboard player in one of the various groups he performs with, or as a soloist, perhaps playing gentle music in the background during dinner, or rocking out as The One-Man Piano Band.

Influenced by great piano players like Dr. John, Ann Rabson, Professor Longhair, and Bill Payne, JT’s style is rooted in the Blues, but his repertoire encompasses much more than that.

He’s released two albums of music, “Chase Away Your Blues” and “This Way That Way,” has been a Jamarama host on the Legendary Blues Cruise, and a
finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennesseee

ABOUT ANDY TOLINS

Andy Tolins is an award-winning guitarist, songwriter, and singer. His repertoire includes bluegrass, celtic, blues, rock & roll, and swing. Tolins sings and arranges both his own tunes and traditional fiddle tunes, blues, and other roots-oriented music. He plays guitars, National steel, mandolin, and dobro, and technique has earned him a reputation as a fine soloist. He arranges and produces both his music and that of other musicians as well.

Tolins also leads both the Triple A Blues Band and the Tolins' Bluegrass Revue. Triple A's debut CD,   Highwater, earned Billboard/Musician Magazine's Best Unsigned Band Competition. The quintet is a powerhouse of urban and country blues, featuring Tolins' vocals and steel and electric guitars, accompanied by organ, piano, and wailing harmonica. The band released Pork Chop Money, their second CD, and are working on a new project now.

LIVE MUSIC: Eric Ian Farmer & Friends: Luiz “Pepe” Barcellos, and Elizabeth Webb

In their Alla Spina debut, the trio blends cultures, languages, countries, and music sensibilities for an evening that grooves with vibrations from the US and Brazil.  

Elizabeth's caramel vocals intertwine with Pepe's tenor and Eric's baritone while the guitars -- Eric's steel-string and Pepe's nylon-string -- play in complement.     

Although not a “holiday” music-themed performance, the set will include original music and interpretations of popular songs about peace, family, coming home, and more.

ABOUT ERIC IAN FARMER

Born in State College, Pennsylvania and raised in North Carolina, Eric Ian Farmer, a Black man with Blackfeet and Cherokee heritage, has returned to his birthplace sharing his songs about relationships, social awareness, and finding one's path in life while keeping alive classics by artists like Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, and Bob Marley.  Eric learned the practice of becoming one with a song from Bonnie Carter and David Williams, singers in the church of his childhood just across the North Carolina state line in Danville, Virginia.  A bass in tenor's clothing, Eric also draws inspiration as a singer from popular artists like Bobby McFerrin, Stevie Wonder, and Jimmy Hayes (The Persuasions).  And his guitar playing is inspired by the percussive stylings of rock legend Bo Diddley.

Eric has opened or played pre-shows for the Soweto Gospel Choir, Bettye LaVette, Luciane Dom (Brazil), and Rusted Root; performed at Musikfest (Bethlehem, PA); and served on the faculty at Folk College (Juniata College, Huntingdon, PA).

ABOUT TRöEGS INDEPENDENT BREWING

Founded in Pennsylvania in 1997 by brothers John and Chris Trogner, Tröegs is driven by a sense of adventure and curiosity.

You might know their Perpetual IPA, the best-selling IPA in Pennsylvania. Or the dark, malty and crisp Tröegenator. Maybe you’ve tried one of the hundreds of experimental Scratch Series beers they’ve brewed at one of our events together. Or taken the “Best Brewery Tour in America” down at their Hershey, PA home (if you haven’t what are you waiting for?)

Over the past 25 years, Tröegs has grown from two brothers to 250 people, but they’re still very much a family business. Because they stay true to their core values of independence and family ownership (just like us here at HiWay), and they’ve kept the small-brewery DNA that we all love and hold dear in these days of sell outs and mass consolidation.
