587) 3/3/14 6:45 Anthony Walker - he’s got it all: the music; the stories; the voice; the charm. One of New Jersey’s finest roots-rock songwriters is prepped to share his career-defining material with the world. http://www.reverbnation.com/anthonywalker

588) 3/3/14 8:00 Mike Herz – Raised in rural northwest, NJ, Mike grew up amongst fertile farmlands and majestic mountains. So naturally, as a teenager his music of choice was rap. Why you ask? The words. There was poetry and passion there, and it resonated. Some years later Mike discovered the songs of Bob Dylan, and after listening to them his heart clinically stopped for 3 minutes. While dead he saw a heavenly blinding light and returned to Earth with the understanding that simply a guitar and words could alter the universe. www.MikeHerzMusic.com

589) 3/10/14 Henry Gross - At age 18, he was a founding member of the group, SHA NA NA, He sang two songs on the group's 1969 debut LP "Rock & Roll is Here To Stay;” The groups' popularity soared after legendary performances in the Fillmore Auditoriums East and West and at the Woodstock Festival, where he was the youngest person to perform. With the groups' appearance in the film "WOODSTOCK" and the accompanying Cotillion Records 1970 LP of the same name, their popularity became a worldwide phenomenon. And he just kept on rockin’ http://henrygross.com

590) 3/10/14 Kim and Reggie Harris - Consummate musicians and storytellers combine a strong folk and gospel legacy with a solid background in classical, rock, jazz and pop music. Creative curiosity, years of road and stage experience and interactions with performers such as Pete Seeger, Ysaye Barnwell, Jay Leno, Tom Paxton, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Harry Belafonte and others, has led them to produce music that entertains and inspires. www.kimandreggie.com

Upcoming:

591) 4/15/14 Elm Treason - Complex, manic, foreboding and smooth are just a small sample of the adjectives that one could muster to describe the sound resonating from this Staten Island, New York duo. They’ve been together since the Fall of 2010, originally intending to be an acoustic rock duo. However, in a relatively short period of time, they evolved from a team of mad musical basement noisemakers into a full-grown “lets-do-it-all-ourselves” musical dynamo. www.elmtreason.com

593) 5/5/14 6:45 Arlon Bennett - Daddy, Eagle Scout, baseball connoisseur, and all-around Renaissance guy with Tuscan roots, is an Americana songsmith writing songs that recall Harry Chapin and vintage James Taylor, but with an eloquence, honesty, and sense of humor all his own. A home-made guitarist with a self-effacing style, he has a gift of storytelling from the heart that reveals the gold nuggets in the river of everyday life. http://www.arlonbennett.com

594) 5/5/14 8:00 Brooks Williams - Ranked one of the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists, this singer-songwriter writes groove-laden songs and delivers them with an easy-going vocal style and monstrous guitar chops. Walking the line between blues and Americana, Williams has worked stages worldwide for over 25 years, amassing a staggering back-catalogue of songs, recordings and tales. With nearly 20 CDs to his name – and more on the way – this Statesboro Georgia native is, according to americanaUK, “impossible not to like." www.brookswilliams.com

(tenatively toward the end of May) Amanda Duncan - draws from a diverse blend of the crooning hits of the 30′s and 40′s and the pop-country of today, to craft what has become her light-hearted, head-bopping acoustic sound. 180 degrees from the winey, suicidal droning of many singer-songwriters, in a black and white world, Amanda Duncan is a burst of color; http://amandaduncan.com

(tenatively toward the end of May) Spuyten Duyvil - (pronounced: "Spite + n Dive + l") Hailing from the Hudson Valley, soaring vocals, traditional jug band energy, slide guitar, incendiary fiddle and Chicago-style blues harp propel the listener on a barn-burning romp through the last 100 years of American Roots music. www.spuytenduyvilmusic.com
