Monsters of Folk: l to r. Mike Mogis, M. Ward, Jim James and Conor Oberst. Enter Monsters of Folk, arguably the most talent-ridden and impressive folk group ... like, ever. Jim, M.

                <description><![CDATA[Christmas Fuller Project is an independent band based out of Fayetteville, AR. Three of the four are students at the University of Arkansas. They've been playing together for about four years and have a demo EP and a DIY full-length album under their belts, but their latest EP, Green & Lonely, is their first studio recording. Christmas Fuller Project's primary influences include Radiohead, Wilco, Sufjan Stevens, Death Cab for Cutie, The Arcade Fire and Spoon. They definitely do a good job at emulating that style while adding their own spin on things. I'm surprised something like this is coming out ...]]></description>

Tracks include Alicia Keys' "No One," Nirvana's "Lithium," and Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams."The first single, a cover of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion," has been stuck in my ...]]></description>

Wait, aren&#8217;t kids supposed to think their parents&#8217; music is eye-rollingly unhip? And aren&#8217;t parents supposed to be yelling at their kids to &#8220;turn that nonsense down&#8221; since the younger generation is expected to be listening to some newfangled band with the shelf life of an open container of milk?]]></description>

If this concert is any indication, the series will be entertaining but not infantile, enriching but not overtly instructional. The concert began with four movements from John Williams&#8217; &#8220;Suite for Orchestra from &#8216;Harry Potter and the Sorcerer&#8217;s Stone.&#8216;&#8220; With its immediately familiar tunes, it was a good choice to put everyone at ease.
