HSNOI:

We taped two fine shows in Sept.:

602) 9/17/14 6:45 David Falcone - I LOVE THIS GUY; a wonderful guitarist whose playing equals and often surpasses many better-known fingerstyle artists. His deft touch pulls stories from the strings in wordless tales of inspired nuance, shifting rhythms and tempos - all with flawless accuracy and soulful feel. Ramble Cultural Magazine; he plays in hospitals http://www.musiciansoncall.org/site/PageNavigator/home http://www.lasalle.edu/~falcone/

603) 9/17/14 8:00 Harry Noble & Jess Bardwell - Folk Rock Americana duo; they've been in the Quimby Mountain Band for about 10 years now. Jesse will be singing lead vocals and playing mandolin. Harry will be playing guitar and singing harmony. www.quimbymountainband.net

David Falcone spoke about his involvement with Musicians on Call http://www.musiciansoncall.org/site/PageNavigator/home which has bedside performance programs in 15 cities nationwide. I am interested in participating in a program like this in Morristown. The Folk Project http://folkproject.org has many other musician members who might also be interested. I have sent an inquiry to the hospital through a friend who works there to see if they are interested. Would the Community Services Committee be amenable to something like this?

Upcoming:

604) 10/6/14 6:45 Two-Thirds Goat - champion of metrobilly music in NYC, performed at SXSW 2013 & 2014; official artists at CMJ 2013. Last year, one of the top 10 bands out of over 3,500 in competition to perform in The Outlaw Roadshow at SXSW 2013; melding of alt-country, bluesy bluegrass and classic rock echo the core members' diverse roots: Annalyse descended directly from the infamous McCoys of Eastern Kentucky, and Ryan deeply rooted in the beach culture of southern New Jersey http://twothirdsgoat.wix.com/twothirdsgoat

605) 10/6/14 8:00 Ron Renninger - superb picking & vocals woven w/ well-crafted, powerful songs (that draw on wealth of experience from fascinating, well-traveled life); wide range of genres www.RonRenninger.com

606) Oct 16 – 6:45 Ted Yoder - initially made a name for himself as the 2010 National Hammered Dulcimer Champion, but it was his tendency to take a popular or traditional song and 'Yoderize' it with his spectacularly unique use of the Hammered Dulcimer that really brought him to acclaim. When people hear a song they recognize, but with a sound they've never experienced, they stop and take notice. http://www.tedyoder.com ;

607) Oct 16 – 8:00 Tri-County Ramblers – Staten Island’s own bluegrass band Mark Farrell (fiddle & mandolin), Chick Marrone (guitar), Doug Nicolaisen (banjo), Allen Cohen (bass) http://www.tricountyramblers.com

608) 11/6/14 Juggernaut String Band - runs on a high octane blend of classic rock, bluegrass and Mardi Gras party tunes seasoned with Pete's originals; Uncle Pete Tawny rocks the banjo and fiddle, joined by Cat Burbage on world drum kit, rubboard, spoons and vocals, (sometimes all at once), and Dave the Rave Larrison on bass. http://juggernautstringband.com

609) 11/6/14 Piedmont Bluz - Valerie Turner (guitar, vocals) & Ben Turner (percussion, harmonica); "Just when people think the old country blues of the Mid-Atlantic has faded away, along come the wonderful husband and wife duo of Valerie and Ben Turner who are the heirs to the Piedmont blues tradition. They play the truehearted, authentic country blues with love." - Frank Matheis, Publisher: www.thecountryblues.com, Writer: Living Blues http://www.piedmontbluz.com

Dec 1 – Mulebone - Highwire Act Roots Blues Duo: Hugh Pool plays guitars, harmonica, boot board and sings, all with a mouth full of whiskey and a giant heart. John Ragusa on conch shell, Jews harp, cornet, all manner of flutes, tin whistle, and chimes in on the harmony vocals; http://www.mulebonemusic.com

Dec 1 Robinson Treacher - Chameleon-like in his approach to his songwriting, he refuses to be pigeonholed into one particular genre. Believing that each song is forged from its own unique terrain, he takes great pains in choosing the vehicle by which passengers might best weather the bumps, potholes, and blind curves found between the first note and the last. Admittedly susceptible to the affectations of the senses himself, he asks his audience to participate emotionally as well as physically in a “whole self” conceptual challenge, a 360 degree soul search comprised of the most joyous elation to the bitterest of pains. http://robinsontreacher.com

April 22 or 23, 2015 Eric Taylor www.bluerubymusic.com
