Feb 7th - Sarah Blacker Sarah Blacker will make you dance a jig in the street, while she stomps, claps, and cheers you on! She’ll get a kick out of the way the music moves you, and will be equally as moved. She’ll even make your toughest bassist cry with the amount of passion she pours into each musical note she produces. She’ll treat you like an old friend before a show and stop you dead in your tracks once she starts to sing. Sarah performed this set in the cluttered confines of our FM studio with a small but enthusiastic audience. Audio: http://archives.wpkn.org/bookmarks/listen/5463 Feb 21- Glenn Roth Influenced both by talented fingerstyle artists such as Tommy Emmanuel, Michael Hedges, and Preston Reid and the bombast and melodicism of bands like Tool and 311, Glenn has developed a style of solo acoustic guitar playing that’s uniquely his own: aggressive, emotional, vibrant, melodic, in turn and often within the same song. Anyone who has marveled at Glenn’s brilliant acoustic interpretation of Iron Maiden’s Run to the Hills, a YouTube hit and a tribute to those early days of air-guitar, can attest to Glenn’s imaginative and virtuosic guitar playing.
March 14 - Brian Dolzani – CANCELED Dolzani has a boy-next-door voice, and he uses it to his advantage, presenting himself as approachable and slightly vulnerable (as opposed to bratty). His songs are of the nerd-pop variety, a mix of piano ballads and acoustic guitar-centered, bouncy feel-good (and/or melancholy) tunes with introspective lyrics.
March 28 - Michael Cleary Band
The Michael Cleary band is a Hartford institution. They are celebrating their 19th year of making original Groove/Funk/Rock music with a twist and have been called Hartford's answer to the Allman Brothers. Their shows are filled with great songs, monstrous solos, epic jams, funky grooves and wacky humor. All in all, a diverse, joyous musical stew played and sung by talented musicians who love what they do.
All shows are at 1:00 p.m. For reservations, call 203-331-9756.
