Ellis
with Brittany Ann
Tranbaugh
Ellis is a
rising star in the independent music scene. With
music that is described as "joyful,
unpretentious modern folk", Ellis continues to
build attention at venues and festivals
throughout the country with heart-felt songs
that reflect her sincere graciousness, vibrant
nature, and contagious sense of humor. You'll
quickly be drawn in by her warmth and real-life
journeys as reflected in her songs.
"Ellis walks
on stage, flashes a bashful grin and does what
she does best: singing her heart out every
single time."
Dale Schiff, Just Out
(Portland)
"Ellis has been compared with Ani
DiFranco, Suzanne Vega, Edie Brickell, and the
Indigo Girls, but those comparisons only
approximate what she’s all about. She is funny
and smart and has a way with lyrics that makes
critics take
notice." Marlee MacLeod

October 23rd
The Nields
with
Karen Anne Litecky
Nerissa and Katryna Nields have been the
darlings of the coffeehouse/festival scene since
1991, with tunes ranging from off-the-hook
idiosyncratic to kicking to heartbreaking.
SISTER HOLLER,
the newest and 14th career release from Nerissa
and Katryna Nields, is a "roots album," but with
a difference. Rather than simply reinterpret or
re-record the music what brung 'em, the sisters
from Western Massachusetts, have decided in
Sister Holler to retool, assimilate and
flat out burgle the music they grew up with to
create something new. They tell the listener
right up front that they're even going to lift
entire lines from some of the best songs ever
written, and then they do it, right before your
very ears. The result is a delightful oxymoron
of songs simultaneously familiar and surprising.
And
when the listener is thus invited and engaged,
something happens, and for a moment, the
coffeehouse, the church basement, the folk
festival - or just the space between the ears of
a listener wearing headphones with Sister
Holler on his CD player or iPod - is
turned into an Adirondack summer camp campfire
sing, and we are all reminded of who we've
always been.
That's no small
thing. |

Sean
Schenker |
November 27 - 8pm
Beaucoup Blue
with
Sean Schenker (of The
Trapps)
Philadelphia based duo
of David and Adrian Mowry, Father and son, have
been performing their music strongly rooted in
the blues, up and down the eastern seaboard.
Bridging many gaps in American music, their
soulful traditional and contemporary style mesh
into an innovative and authentic sound. Although
blues is a staple in their repertoire, they also
base their love in music from Folk, Soul,
R&B, Jazz, Country, and Bluegrass. All these
interests and influences come out in their
original songwriting in a unique way.
A
handsome range of instruments like six and
twelve string guitars, slide guitar, Dobro and
the two soulful voices blend together like only
family members can, affecting audiences wherever
they perform.
"This is what acoustic blues
should sound like but so rarely do. Father and
son, David and Adrian Mowry, deliver a
surprisingly soulful performance. Their singing
is tough and controlled and their guitar work is
crisp and mournful." Tune-UP Magazine

Hickory Project &
RUNA
co-bill
What
started as a routine experiment has turned into
a revolutionary project, henceforth known as
The Hickory Project. The band
features hard–driving traditional and original
acoustic music with the expert licks
of National Mandolin Champion Anthony
Hannigan Steve Belcher, David Cavage and Dan
Shipe, Coleman Smith, Mark Morris, Craig Vance
and Billy Gilmore
The
Hickory Project is globally acclaimed. They have
captivated audiences throughout Europe, both the
main land and Celtic Isles, Australia and all
through the US. As musical ambassadors
Hickory Project is taking their music
worldwide.
Drawing on the
diverse musical backgrounds of its band members,
Runa brings a contemporary and refreshing
experience to traditional and more recently
composed Celtic material. Through their
repertoire of both highly energetic and graceful
acoustic melodies, along with their fusion of
music from Ireland, Scotland, Shetland Islands,
Canada, and the United States, this vocal and
instrumental ensemble give their traditional
songs and tunes a fresh
sound.
