Mar 9 Jan Smith and Jeff Vogelgesang
($10 adults, $6 kids)
No Depression magazine has called Tin Heart, Smith's first record, "a thoroughly
enjoyable mix of folk, country and bluegrass." Smith's style also distills elements
of acoustic-pop, jazz and blues. Featured on the recording is mandolin and guitar
player Jeff Vogelgesang, her husband, a veteran bluegrass musician whose versatility
serves every arrangement (honeybirdmusic.com/bio.html).
Mar 16 Third Friday
with the Park Slope Food Coop ($10 adults, $6 kids)
Robert Dick and Ursel Schlicht play colorful, truly original music for flutes
(soprano, bass and contrabass flute) and piano (prepared and otherwise). They
reinvent this traditional duo.
Todd Isler’s ToddSquad plays tunes from the upcoming disc, Soul Drums,
a world jazz journey featuring fellow coop musicians.
Mar 23 Frank Fotusky
/ JD Duvall – Blues and world music ($10 adults, $6
kids)
Frank Fotusky (www.fotusky.com) plays acoustic blues in the style
reminiscent of the great East Coast "Piedmont" players such as Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Boy
Fuller, John Jackson and Blind Willie McTell. A majority of his material is culled
from the '20's, '30's and '40's and Acoustic Blues and Guitar Rags are the foundation
of his music. Along with this repertoire, his original compositions are rooted
in this era and still carry a contemporary feel. East coast or "Piedmont Blues," as
it is so often called, consists of sophisticated syncopation with fingerpicked
guitar. The result is a sound that resembles that of the ragtime piano. World
troubadour JD Duvall (www.jdduvall.com) has picked up music from the Bayou to
Africa, mixing civilizations and color. He fingerpicks the blues or throws in
a samba. He creates a world brew in his tunes.
Mar 30 Singer/songwriters
Sonya Lorelle and Jeannette Miller ($10 adults, $6 kids)
Bluesy songstress Sonya Lorelle (sonyalorelle.com) performs sophisticated
piano-driven tunes. She has a soulful style in the vein of an upbeat
Norah Jones or Carole King. With the release of her new CD The Life
You Wanted in 2005, she received 1st place in the North Carolina
Songwriter's Coop Competition and 2nd place in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting
Contest. Jeannette Miller’s music traverses
the boundaries of pop and folk with a tinge of country thrown in. Sound Views
magazine praised her “swanky, take-charge vocals” and declared her
release Dream Time “a small miracle.” Jeannette has twice garnered
awards in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest.
