Dear Audience Members,

Thank you for attending this 2024–25 performing arts season production. The outstanding show you are about to enjoy is part of a thoughtful and carefully selected lineup designed to provide a wide array of entertainment experiences. I would like to acknowledge Dillon McArdle, director of the Viterbo Fine Arts Center, and his incredible staff for their hard work in making this season possible.

Allow me to also extend my gratitude to you—our patrons, benefactors, sponsors, volunteers, and students—for your continued support in bringing the best of the arts to the region. We are fortunate to live in a place with so many cultural and artistic opportunities, just as the members of the Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration envisioned when they built this wonderful facility.

We are very happy to have you join us. On with the show!

“Pace e Bene”
Peace and all good

Biographies

GAVIN DEGRAW

GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum singer and songwriter Gavin DeGraw’s inimitable voice and soulful style boldly bloomed on his 2003 platinum-certified full-length debut, Chariot. It included the gold single Follow Through, as well as both platinum hits, Chariot, and I Don’t Want To Be. In 2008, his self-titled second album, Gavin DeGraw, bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 powered by the platinum-selling single In Love With a Girl. His gold-certified Sweeter saw him return to the Top 10 as the single Not Over You went four times platinum. Meanwhile, his duet with Colbie Caillat, We Both Know, garnered a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of Best Song Written For Visual Media for Safe Haven.

With a front row seat to this wonderfully wild life led by his late parents Lynne and John Wayne, DeGraw recounts his most meaningful memories and valuable lessons on his seventh full-length offering, Face The River. DeGraw also released his applauded first-ever Christmas EP, A Classic Christmas.

DeGraw is the rare talent who can seamlessly share the stage with Billy Joel and The Allman Brothers or Maroon 5 and Shania Twain with his signature fusion of pop, soul, country, folk, and funk.


CALEB HEARN

Instead of simply dusting off formative memories, Caleb Hearn alchemizes his reflections into revelatory anthems laced with folk eloquence and amplified with pop appeal. After generating 235M+ streams and attracting a global fanbase with 1.4M+ TikTok followers, the North Carolina-raised and Nashville-based singer-songwriter uses his recollections to grow and evolve on his Birthdays & Funerals EP.

Since 2019, Hearn has engaged and enraptured audiences by tuning into raw emotion via his songs. Following the 2020 Reflections EP, the fan favorites, Always Be 2.0, Brown Eyes, Brown Hair, and It’s Always Been You, have tailed 101M+ Spotify streams combined. Building off that momentum, he unveiled his We’re Getting Older EP in 2022. With 22M+ cumulative streams on Spotify, We’re Getting Older EP took listeners through the complex stages of heartbreak–from the moment you realize you’ve lost the person you love to learning how to deal with the pain that follows.

In the spring of 2023, Caleb Hearn returned with his 4-track follow-EP 1200 sq ft, that has surpassed 13M+ collective Spotify streams. Known for penning tender tracks at the narrative crossroads of relationships, missed opportunities, and the lessons to be had from young love, Caleb shifted gears and focuses on his family roots while offering unique subtle blend of folk and indie pop. Along the way, Caleb teamed up with the likes of Michal Leah, Jillian Rossi, Haywood, and Mokita for popular collaborations. Additionally, he’s toured with Ron Pope, Lydia Luce, and Rosie Darling.
