SUMMARY:Don White
DESCRIPTION:There is no one-word description for what Don White does. He has survived and thrived for twenty-five years\, bringing his audiences to laughter and tears in his live performances\, studio recordings\, and on the printed page. He is a storyteller-comedian-author-troubadour-folk singer-songwriter. He is a walking challenge to the phrase “file under.” Best to just sort him under “Don White.” \nDon’s approach to music is a weird\, unique blend. If he just played folk music\, it would be a handy label. But he has invented his own genre with a mix of humor and powerful songwriting. White’s arc as a writer and performer has taken him from his industrial hometown of Lynn\, Ma across the country as hitchhiker\, through Boston’s comedy clubs and coffeehouses\, and onto the stage with greats like Christine Lavin\, Arlo Guthrie\, Taj Mahal\, Ritchie Havens\, Patty Larkin\, Bill Morrissey\, Tom Rush\, and Louden Wainright III. At every point\, White has been the ultimate observer\, infusing his work with his experiences as a husband\, a father\, a seeker\, and a joker. \n  \n \ndonwhite.net \nBuy tickets for Don White \nJoin us for the rest of the season\nFeb 1 2018 – Open Mic to Benefit Hearts for Heat\nMar 1 2018 – Pamela Means\nApr 5 2018 – Jesse Dee\nMay 3 2018 – NE Irish Harp Orchestra Ensemble with Kate Chadbourne\nJun 7 2018 – Our final show featuring Timothy Mason and Friends

SUMMARY:Ellis Paul
DESCRIPTION:“Despite his success and sense of history\, Mr. Paul remains an artist with his eye on the future and an interest in discovering the transformative potential in his music.” – The New York Times \nSome artists document their lives through their music. Others chronicle their times. It’s a rare artist who can do both\, telling their own story through songs that also encapsulate the essence of people and places who have helped define their era overall. Woody Guthrie comes to mind\, and so does Bob Dylan. Bruce Springsteen certainly as well. Yet few others\, for whatever genius they may possess\, can relate their own history to the history experienced by those who find that common bond\, be it in a coming of age\, living through the same realities or sharing similar experiences. \n  \n \n  \nellispaul.com \nBuy tickets for Ellis Paul \nand join us for the rest of the season\nJan 11 2018 – Don White\nFeb 1 2018 – Open Mic to Benefit Hearts for Heat\nMar 1 2018 – Pamela Means\nApr 5 2018 – Jesse Dee\nMay 3 2018 – NE Irish Harp Orchestra Ensemble with Kate Chadbourne\nJun 7 2018 – Our final show featuring Timothy Mason and Friends

SUMMARY:Lui Collins
DESCRIPTION:Folk singer/songwriter Lui Collins has been performing\, writing and recording since the 1970s\, earning international acclaim for her music. A native Vermonter\, Collins’ early music education included classical studies on piano\, violin and French horn\, followed by a major in music theory at the University of Connecticut. Lui abandoned formal music studies after three years of college\, in favor of the vibrant folk music scene of northeast Connecticut. \nFollowing her graduation with a degree in sociology\, Collins devoted herself full-time to music. In the late seventies and early eighties\, Lui recorded Made in New England\, followed byBaptism of Fire\, and There’s a Light. These releases on thePhilo and Green Linnet labels established her in the Northeast folk community. \nThe Boston Globe has described Lui as “one of New England’s first and brightest stars\,” and Sing Out! Magazine calls her “incomparable.” She was voted third most popular performer at the Champlain Valley Festival in 1992\, along with Pete Seeger and French Canadian band La Bottine Souriante. Renowned guitarist Dave van Ronk called her “one of the best guitarist-arrangers I have heard in years.” Michael Devlin of Music Matters Review wrote: “… there are relatively few artists who are bringing a traditional sensibility to modern songwriting\, and in the process creating new traditional music. Lui Collins is among the barefoot royalty of this group…” \nLui took up clawhammer banjo in 1999\, and has continued to delve deeply into southern Appalachian music. This traditional influence is evident on her 2000 solo recording Leaving Fort Knox. Dirty Linen‘s assessment\, “Quite simply\, this is the best Lui Collins recording\, ever\,” is a clear affirmation of the continuing vitality\, after 30 years\, of Collins’ art. This vitality expresses itself in her live performances\, as Lui blends her original songs\, dynamic readings of her poetry\, and traditional banjo tunes\, in an intimate conversation with her audience. \nLui’s concerts have become less numerous\, but they’re as memorable as ever. Whether you’ve enjoyed her recordings for years or you’ve just been introduced\, there’s no better way to experience Lui’s music than at a live concert. Lui’s concerts are intimate affairs. She interlaces her songs with stories about their background\, her life\, the weather – like a conversation with an old friend…with music.\nBuy Tickets to Lui’s Concert\nVisit Lui’s Website

SUMMARY:Tracy Grammer
DESCRIPTION:TRACY GRAMMER rose to acclaim as half of the “postmodern\, mythic American folk” duo\, Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer. From 1998-2001\, the duo released three internationally celebrated\, folk chart-topping albums featuring Carter’s mytho-poetic Americana songcraft and in 2002\, toured with Joan Baez\, both as featured artists and Baez’s band members. Called “the new voice of modern folk music\,” the duo was clearly in its ascendancy when in July 2002\, Carter suffered a fatal heart attack while the duo was on tour. He was 49; Grammer\, 34. \nDetermined to honor the duo’s journey and bring Carter’s songs\, and those of other favorite writers\, to broader audiences\, Grammer has kept to the road\, releasing solo albums as well as selections from the Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer archives. Her latest release\, LITTLE BLUE EGG\, is a collection of intimate recordings from the duo’s home studios. LBE was the #1 most-played album on Folk Radio in 2012\, and once again\, the duo were the #1 most-played artists for the year.  \nGrammer has become one of folk music’s most beloved artists. Renowned for her springwater-clear alto\, perfectly intoned violin\, and guitar playing that is by turns percussive and delicate\, Grammer is also a masterful storyteller with an ease and charisma on stage — not to mention a riotous sense of humor — that hardly belie her modest beginnings as Carter’s reclusive accompanist. Stories about the duo’s first meeting\, Carter’s quirks and fancies\, or Grammer’s own misadventures and missteps are woven thoughtfully into the set list to create a uniquely personal evening that connects audiences to performer\, to the Carter/Grammer legacy\, and most importantly\, to one another. Additionally\, Grammer has begun down the songwriter’s path as part of RealWomenRealSongs\, and is sharing her fresh\, fledgling efforts — and the stories behind them — on her current tour\, to the delight of her longtime fans.  \nAs one fan put it\, “With Tracy\, it’s never just about the music. It’s a soul journey.” \nBuy tickets for Tracy Grammer In Concert\nVisit Tracy’s Website

SUMMARY:Cliff Eberhardt
DESCRIPTION:Cliff Eberhardt knew by age seven that he was going to be a singer and songwriter. Growing up in Berwyn\, Pennsylvania\, he and his brothers sang together and their parents played instruments. His dad introduced him to the guitar and he quickly taught himself to play. Fortunate enough to live close to the Main Point (one of the best folk clubs on the East Coast)\, he cut his teeth listening to the likes of James Taylor\, Joni Mitchell\, Bruce Springsteen\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Muddy Waters\, Bonnie Raitt\, and Mississippi John Hurt — receiving an early and impressive tutorial in acoustic music. At the same time\, he was also listening to great pop songwriters like Cole Porter\, the Gershwins\, and Rodgers and Hart\, which explain his penchant for great melodies and clever lyrical twists. \nAt fifteen\, Cliff and his brother Geoff began touring as an acoustic duo\, playing the Eastern club circuit until Cliff turned twenty-one and moved to Carbondale\, Illinois. There he found space to develop his own voice within a vibrant and supportive music scene that included Shawn Colvin. After a couple of years there and a short stay in Colorado\, Cliff moved to New York in 1978. Because the clubs were great (the Bitter End\, the Speakeasy\, Kenny’s Castaway\, Folk City) and the company amazing (John Gorka\, Suzanne Vega\, Lucy Kaplansky\, Julie Gold\, Steve Forbert\, Christine Lavin\, and Shawn Colvin)\, New York was an ideal musician’s boot camp. Though he put in long hours as a taxi driver\, Cliff worked steadily on his music throughout the 80’s\, doing solo gigs and studio work\, and playing guitar on the road with Richie Havens\, Melanie and others. Singing advertising jingles for products like Coke\, Miller Beer and Chevrolet (“The Heartbeat of America” campaign) allowed him to devote more time to his songwriting. \nIn 1990 Cliff’s song “My Father’s Shoes\,” appeared on Windham Hill’s Legacy collection\, leading to a deal with the label. They released Cliff’s first album\, The Long Road (1990)\, a work featuring a duet with Richie Havens. The critical response to this debut was outstanding (The Philadelphia Inquirer called the album a “repeatedly astounding collection”). He followed with two more records on Windham Hill before releasing 12 Songs of Good and Evil (1997) on Red House Records\, which stemmed from a chance meeting with Red House founder Bob Feldman at John Gorka’s wedding. Cliff recorded two more albums before his critically acclaimed The High Above and the Down Below\, named the #5 album of 2007 by USA Today. Produced by legendary musician and Red House Records president Eric Peltoniemi\, it was recorded in Minneapolis with noted jazz players Gordy Johnson\, J. T. Bates and Rich Dworsky and was his first album after spending several years recovering from a car accident. \nWith a new lease on life and a fresh batch of songs\, Cliff embarked on what has turned out to be an artistic renaissance. Recorded in the Texas Hill Country\, Cliff’s 2009 album 500 Miles: The Blue Rock Sessions may be his finest to date. An intimate album of powerful originals and unique covers\, it features a reworking of his hit “The Long Road\,” a song made more poignant after nearly two decades of touring and recording. Long one of the most respected songwriters on the club scene\, his peers often mine his catalog for themselves. Cliff’s song “Memphis” was included on Cry Cry Cry\, an album of collaborative covers by the “folk supergroup” of the same name (comprised of Dar Williams\, Lucy Kaplansky and Richard Shindell). Other performers who have recorded his songs include Richie Havens\, Shawn Colvin\, Russ Taff and Buffy Sainte Marie. A collection of his songs has been published in The Cliff Eberhardt Songbook (Cherry Lane Publishing). \nIn 2011\, Cliff got a phone call from the Folger Theatre and Shakespeare Library in Washington DC. They had been listening to his song\, “That Kind of Love” along with director Aaron Posner and got the brilliant idea to hire Cliff to write original songs for the Shakespeare classic “The Taming of the Shrew”. It would be set in the old West – Deadwood style – and Cliff would be cast as the blind but wise old saloon singer bookending scenes with his poignant songs and guitar phrases. The play was a huge success and won much critical acclaim across town and 7 weeks of solid sold-out shows in the Spring of 2012.  In 2013\, Cliff was awarded a coveted Helen Hayes Award for Sound Design and the cast won for Best Ensemble. Some of the songs on Shrew Songs are from Cliff’s past work and some are brand new. The stripped down production enhances the immediate intimacy of Cliff’s songwriting. You don’t have to have seen the play to love this record! It’s available for sale now only through this website or at Cliff’s shows. \nBuy tickets for Cliff Eberhardt In Concert\nVisit Cliff’s Website

SUMMARY:Catie Curtis
DESCRIPTION:Catie Curtis is a veteran on the singer/songwriter folk scene\, crisscrossing the US for 20 years – and counting – performing shows\, recording and releasing 13 CDs\, with devoted fans following her every move. She’s performed at the White House several times\, at two Presidential Inaugural Balls\, with Lilith Fair\, and at Carnegie Hall. The winner of more than her share of Boston Music Awards\, she also took the Grand Prize in the 2006 International Songwriting Competition (out of 15\,000 entries). Catie recorded a duet with Kris Kristofferson for his CD “The Austin Sessions” and there’s a good chance you’ve heard a song of hers in a movie or on a TV show. The New Yorker called Catie a “folk-rock goddess.”\nSince 2012\, Catie has been the producer of Voices United Concerts\, organized to raise awareness and funds for Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU). AU is a crucially important bi-partisan non-profit that lobbies\, litigates and educates to protect against religious extremism – an issue Catie unequivocally supports. Voices United shows have presented a diverse lineup of performers with such greats as Sarah Silverman\, Ani DiFranco\, Dar Williams\, Louis Black\, Kate Clinton\, John Gorka\, Roy Zimmerman and Melissa Ferrick\, to name just a few. The first season\, in 2012\, presented 75 house concerts (one in every state) over one weekend\, and plans are now well underway for the 2015 Voices United Concert schedule. \nWhen Maine-native Catie Curtis is not writing\, recording\, touring or producing concerts\, she also officiates and performs at fans’ weddings (having received her ordination online in 2011)\, teaches at song schools around the country\, leads high school songwriting workshops\, speaks on diversity\, and runs a songwriter retreat in Maine every summer called “Catie at the Cove.”\nCatie’s 13th album\, Flying Dream (2014)\, continues her songwriting signature of being deep and soulful\, telling honest and universal truths of the experience of living. Flying Dream is a start-to-finish collaboration with Sugarland co-founder and modern folk songwriting luminary Kristen Hall. After being introduced by Mary Gauthier\, says Curtis\, “We discovered that we were very compatible in writing together. After we had a couple songs under our belts\, we both wanted to keep going and Kristin wanted to produce the album.”\nCurtis came to the creation of this album with a desire to articulate “some really universal experiences.” “What’s eerie\,” she says\, “is how much the songs ended up being true to my life.” It’s no accident that the album is bookended by songs that deal with choosing to not withdraw from life\, but rather savor the simple\, sensual and sacred surprises it brings.\n“My goal is not just to reflect my own personal life\, but to reflect back to people what happens in life\, in their lives\, in our world\,” she says. “As we all know\, sh#t happens.” Wise words from a truly intrepid songwriter. \nBuy Tickets to Catie’s Concert\nVisit Catie’s Website

SUMMARY:The Kennedys
DESCRIPTION:Pete and Maura Kennedy\, both East Coast natives\, met in Austin\, Texas\, joined forces with Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra for a couple of years\, and set out on a road that\, for two decades\, has led them not only west but all over the US and the UK many times. This year\, they celebrate their twentieth anniversary both as a band and a married couple. Rather than indulge in a nostalgic look backward\, they’ve taken Dylan’s dictum “don’t look back” to heart; writing and recording forty new songs. \n2015 sees a Maura solo CD\, a Pete solo CD\, and the release of “West\,” an instant classic Kennedys duo set that seamlessly weaves their influences over the last two decades; Buddy Holly style roots\, the tuneful cadences of the Everly Brothers\, and the ringing 12-string jangle of the early Byrds\, interspersed with darker moments that recall British folk rock a la Fairport Convention. \nUltimately\, Pete and Maura knit these disparate threads into a coat of many colors that sounds like a “best of The Kennedys\,” but is in reality an all-new collection of songs. The road west is central to the American mythos; it’s the search for musical roots and the fulfillment of a personal American dream that takes shape in songs. Two decades on\, The Kennedys are hitting a songwriting high point\, and from that point they follow the well-worn American path West. \nBuy tickets for The Kennedy’s\nVisit The Kennedy’s Website \n

SUMMARY:Guy Davis
DESCRIPTION:Whether Guy Davis is appearing on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” or nationally syndicated radio programs such as Garrison Keillor’s\, “A Prairie Home Campanion”\, “Mountain Stage” or David Dye’s\,“World Café”.\, in front of 15\,000 people on the Main Stage of a major festival\, or teaching an intimate gathering of students at a Music Camp\, Guy feels the instinctive desire to give each listener his ‘all’. \nHis ‘all’ is the Blues. \nThe routes\, and roots\, of his blues are as diverse as the music form itself.  It can be soulful\, moaning out a people’s cry\, or playful and bouncy as a hay-ride. \nGuy can tell you stories of his great-grandparents and his grandparents\, they’re days as track linemen\, and of their interactions with the infamous KKK.  He can also tell you that as a child raised in middle-class New York suburbs\, the only cotton he’s picked is his underwear up off the floor. \nHe’s a musician\, composer\, actor\, director\, and writer.  But most importantly\, Guy Davis is a bluesman.  The blues permeates every corner of Davis’ creativity.
