HSNOI:

600) 8/7/14 6:45 Avi Wisnia - Think Ben Folds meets Norah Jones, if they had a lovechild in Brazil. Singer/Songwriter with an eclectic mix of refreshingly original songs, finding inspiration in classic Brazilian bossa nova, acoustic American folk, 1950’s west-coast jazz, and contemporary pop. A wordsmith as well as a composer and performer, Avi’s clever lyrics give a knowing nod to those that came before, while his smooth vocals and deft piano skills assure you that this is truly something new. www.aviwisnia.com

601) 8/7/14 8:00 Marci Geller - Her warmth is inviting, and her music is chock-full of surprises, yet her melodies linger on long after the show. There is something classic about her songwriting, and yet if challenged, you can’t figure out who she reminds you of. There is an ease about her, almost as if you’ve been invited to her home — her musical home... with percussionist, Marshal Rosenberg http://www.marcigeller.com

Upcoming:

602) 9/17/14 6:45 David Falcone - 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 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

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 ;
