Jamie Lynn & The Red Tail Hawk Band at 10:30pm

 

A truth-wailin', hell-hollerin', country girl havin' a grand old time makin' all that noise.

 

Alternating hilariously stinging songs of comic pathos with

gracefully rawhearted ballads, Jamie Lyn channels June Carter and Loretta Lynn

in her own brand of neotraditional "Deep Woods Off" country.

With the Red Tail Hawk Band careening from honky tonk swing,

to traditional bluegrass, through foot-stompin' countrypolitan,

a good time is guaranteed by all.

John Itkin & Friends at 9:30pm

Jon Itkin is a 25-year old guitar playing fool with a taste for the timeless, a big ornery streak and a deep love of words. A folk musician, a twangy picker and a rough-hewed vocalist, he makes up and sings songs from a world both immeasurable and local, conjuring mythological folk tales into what might be called Americana music. It's a sound that covers a lot of territory, but sticks to a few fundamentals. A little country, a little rock 'n roll, some ragtime, some old-time, soul and blues... Journalists have mentioned Jon in the same breath as Townes Van Zandt, Johnny Cash, James and Larry McMurtry, Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan, which he considers an incredible honor.

 picking. Each singer plays an old tune or an original song in this
intimate setting. The Song Circle will lick you like a melting ice cream cone!
Tonight we have



Harmonica player and songwriter Ken Ficara is a New York City native.
 His music draws on traditional American music in all its forms, ranging
 from bluegrass fiddle tunes to the Carter family to jug band blues to
 modern alt-country. His political songs have been featured on WBAI in
 New York City and he performs frequently as a solo act and with bands in
 and around New York.


Jesse Miller is a fine guitar player and singer. Yep, he makes it seem all so effortless,
smiling the whole time. This guy is the real deal.


Dock Oscar with Ebie Carter--will keep on dueting to you.
