In the improvisational spirit of the musical community that surrounds the building at 23 East Lancaster Avenue, the Ardmore Music Hall presents “Everyone Loves Ardmore” featuring two nights of Everyone Orchestra on December 8 & 9.
Conducted by the energetic maestro Matt Butler, Everyone Orchestra (or “EO”) takes some of the best and brightest musical minds in the business and gathers them on a stage as they spontaneously create new music at venues, festivals, and philanthropic events across the nation. With an ever-changing lineup and 100% improvisation, each Everyone Orchestra show is a special new experience never to be replicated.
Each night of Everyone Loves Ardmore will feature a unique lineup and different opening acts, and elements of Grateful Dead music each night will layer a familiar music tradition on top.
The December 8th show will feature one set of “Everyone’s Dead” and one set of Everyone Orchestra improvisation with a stacked lineup including:
John Kadlecik (Furthur) on guitar
Claude Coleman Jr. (Ween) on drums
Aron Magner (The Disco Biscuits) on keys
Al Schnier (Moe.) on guitar
Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band) on trombone & vocals
Eric Gould (Pink Talking Fish) on bass
Conductor Matt Butler will also join in on drums during “Everyone’s Dead.” Philadelphia’s own Americana rockers Hezekiah Jones will open the night.

Claude Coleman Jr. (Ween) on drums
