Richie Havens
With Special Guest Cliff Eberhardt
At The Irvington Town Hall
Friday March 20th, 2009 ~ 8:30pm
Tickets: $38
Richie Havens is gifted with one of the most recognizable voices in popular music. His fiery, poignant, always soulful singing has remained unique and ageless since he first emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early sixties. For three decades, Havens has used his music to convey messages of brotherhood and personal freedom. As he told the Denver Post, "I really sing songs that move me. I'm not in show business; I'm in the communications business. That is what it's about for me."

Cliff Eberhardt
Cliff, once a guitarist for Richie Havens, joins him as his special guest for this appearance. Richie, you may remember, sang with Cliff on his CD "The Long Road".
"Eberhardt is better than ever, Steve McQueening his way into your heart at about ninety-eight miles an hour, kicking ass with fresh insight and new ways to lament old yearnings.”

Loretta Hagen
"There is indeed something more in Loretta Hagen's vocals.
Although she's from New Jersey, the material has a country feel, having been recorded while Loretta lived in Nashville.
With her big alto, she covers many of the standard subjects &emdash; love found, love lost, love missed, love almost found and a
whole lot of personal redemption. All of it is gripping and real and it's mainly due to Loretta's big voice".
~

Loudon Wainwright III
Loudon Wainwright III is truly an American songwriting legend.
Loudon has had two Grammy nominations for the albums
I'm Alright (1985) and More Love Songs (1986). Johnny Cash
recorded Loudon's "The Man Who Couldn't Cry" for his highly acclaimed 1994 album American Recordings.
Loudon has also made several televison and movie appearances throughout his career.
"There's no more endangered a species than the wholly original songwriter,
and to watch Wainwright in action is to catch a little fragment of history on the hoof.
The only conventional aspects of his work are that he uses a traditional six-string guitar
and a piano with the regular number of keys on it, but where another man's work might end,
that's exactly where Loudon's begins." -- Adam Sweeting - The Guardian
Opening act: Lucy Roche
Lucy Wainwright Roche grew up in Greenwich Village, New York City. She is the daughter of two performing musicians, Loudon Wainwright and Suzzy Roche (The Roches). Her childhood was spent living out of a suitcase, either on the road, with her parents or being ferried around to different relatives in her big musical clan.

The Kennedys & Red Molly
The Kennedys
Pete and Maura Kennedy’s personal and professional relationship, now in its second decade, began with several years of touring and recording with Nanci Griffith. Branching out, the duo formed The Kennedys, recorded their first album, River of Fallen Stars (1995) and have since released sixteen albums, including solo, duo and projects like The Stringbusters, The Stranglings and The Snacks. As confirmed road warriors and performance addicts, The Kennedys have logged well over 1,000 gigs and half a million miles of touring, bringing their tight harmonies, their chemistry, and their unashamedly idealistic outlook to venues ranging from the prestigious Newport, Falcon Ridge and Kate Wolf music festivals to the most intimate house concerts. Formerly based in New York’s East Village, they now live in Northampton, Mass. They continue to teach vocal and guitar workshops and host the “Dharma Café, a weekly contemporary folk show on Ch 70 SIRIUS Satellite radio.
Red Molly
'Red Molly plays music the way I like it: unpretentious, straight from the heart, and way down deep in the old-time roots. It's true folk music that comes from the right place. They take me back to a purer time when people sang for one another just because of the love of music. And they pack some power. It's purely delightful and inspiring. It warms the soul.'
--Frank Matheis, Host, 'Frank's Picks', WKZE FM

Josh Ritter
While his name might not be on the tip of everyone's tongue in his homeland, folk-leaning singer/songwriter Josh Ritter has benefited from numerous positive reviews and a loyal fan base. Born in Idaho, Ritter bought his first guitar after hearing the Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash classic "Girl From the North Country." While attending college in Oberlin, OH, Ritter got his first listen to Leonard Cohen and Gillian Welch. He fell in love with the songs instantly and dropped his neuroscience major in favor of the pursuit of music. With classic folk venues like Club Passim, Boston was the place Ritter chose to follow his dream. He recorded and released self-titled debut in 1999, but it was 2002's Golden Age of Radio that got him noticed. Selling copies on his own funded touring, which funded more albums and so on. Signature Sounds Recordings soon picked the album up, gave it exposure on a national level, and the four- and five-star reviews started rolling in. The HBO series Six Feet Under grabbed a track from the album for their end credits, while Ritter received an offer to open for the Frames on a tour of Ireland. Soon his single "Me & Jiggs" was in the Irish Top 40, a headlining tour of the country was sold out, and a tribute band named Cork was playing nothing but Ritter material in numerous Irish pubs. Back home the following was growing with sold-out shows in New York City and Boston, while an invitation to the Sundance Film Festival began 2003 on a high note. It took 14 February days in rural France to record his third album, and much of the equipment used for the session was Curtis Mayfield's old gear. The result, Hello Starling, was released in September the same year. Animal Years, his much anticipated follow-up, arrived in March 2006, with Historical Conquest arriving in the summer of 2007.

The Subdudes
Over the course of 20 years and eight albums, the subdudes have quietly become one of America's national music treasures. The New Orleans-formed group is a living encapsulation of American music, a vibrant cauldron of sounds that stirs together meaty grooves and jazzy dynamics, soulful R&B swagger, easy vocal harmonies, cheeky rock 'n' roll attitude and folky social consciousness -- not to mention some of the sharpest musicianship and ensemble playing you'll ever hear from any five musicians. It's tight enough to be loose, but never gratuitously.

David Bromberg
Bromberg’s live show remains as unique as ever. Concerts by David and his band are extraordinary events, and performances follow no set pattern of selection. Give and take between performer is complete, spontaneous, and totally sincere. As the NY Times noted “He has such control of his audience that he can, at one moment, hold it in his hand with a tender, touching yet funny anecdotal song, and then set it romping and stomping with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying.”

The Angel Band
Angel Band makes big noise. Loud noise. Boisterous, sad, sweet, goofy, glorious and angelic. Any which way you look at it this stuff gets your attention. Whether it’s the crazy tight three part harmony, the killer backup playing, the stories, the passion or the compassion, it gets your attention. Nancy Josephson, Jen Schonwald and Kathleen Weber are all experienced on lead and backup vocals. The love of the sound that three female voices make together is at the center of this group. Working as the crackerjack backup band (lovingly known as “Chum”) are: David Bromberg (guitar, National Steel guitar, dobro), Bobby Tangrea (mandolin, guitar, fiddle), Bob Taylor (bass), Jeff Wisor (fiddle, mandolin). The difficult to pigeonhole sound that eminates from the band roams from old time “mountain” music to contemporary rock and roll influenced originals. Any way you slice it this band catches hold of you and won’t let go.
