We were supposed to tape Diane Perry Band, but her keyboard player finked out on her; Diane came to visit with us anyway. WE will trey to reschedule her band. Rick Nestler agreed to take her place at the last minute. The same night we weren't able to get into the studio due to a miscommunication between the studio coordinator & Ralph, but with some quick thinking by Sandie, Billl Henderson came to the rescue with his video camera and lights. We taped both shows in Ralph's living room.

DePaolo’s songwriting has grown and matured steadily.” No Depression magazine www.chazdepaolo.com

613) 1/6/15 Gathering Time – (Hillary Foxsong, Stuart Markus & Gerry McKeveny)"... has perfected two separate but related art forms: three part harmony and having a ball on stage! When they harmonize, some sort of fundamental, cosmic concordance occurs that makes you very happy that you have ears.” Bob McKillop, MaineFolkMusic.com http://www.gathering-time.com
614) 2/3/15 The A.L.L. Trio – Mike Alexander (vocals, mandolin), Evan Lane (vocals, guitar) and Pete Lister (vocals, upright bass) met at County College of Morris in 2003 and have been playing together ever since; they write folk-inspired jazz rock originals and also perform classical, country, blues , bluegrass, jam, progressive and ethnic.
615) 2/3/15 Brad Cole - his songs address the ups and downs of the human condition with both wit and raw insight. "Some performers seem born to command a stage...That's how it is with Brad Cole… Honing in on those uneasy truths most of us evade" Acoustic Live Magazine www.bradcolemusic.com

Acoustic Blues Trio – Jackie Merrit (harmonica), Miles Spicer (guitar) & Resa Gibbs (vocals & percussion) can raise the roof with some old-fashioned house party tunes, make you laugh with their witty originals and then make you weep with blues ballads http://www.acousticbluesmsg.com
617) 3/12/15 8:00 The Zuni Mountain Boys - From the foothills of the Zuni Mountains. Brooklyn based Americana duo, bringing the sounds of the desert to New York City. www.thezunimountainboys.com
618) 4/16/15 Gerry and Olga - Their shared belief in the power of music as a force for good in the world motivates them to expand their horizons and see where this musical road takes them. The unique way their voices blend brings a special quality to their music. They sing original music and they're always looking for songs with a positive message to share. www.GerryandOlga.com
619) 4/16/15 Alex Radus Trio – has toured the country extensively, recorded multiple albums, and won numerous awards and critical acclaim for his songwriting and performing. Prior to his solo career, Radus’ won critical acclaim with the Folk Noir duo, Duende, from 2000-2005. www.alexradus.com
620) 4/30/15 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; www.AmandaDuncan.com
621) 5/14/15 6:30 Ken (the Rocket) Korb - wide-ranging repertoire, a wonderful harmonica player (including some very jazzy work on the chromatic), acquired the nickname “The Rocket” early on due to the “outer space” sounds he can make on the harmonica; also accompanies himself on mandolin. http://longislandharmonica.com/Ken_Korb.htm
622) 6/22/15 6:30 Lea - authentic, uplifting, thought- provoking and positive music. Her sound seamlessly blends gospel, jazz, country and R&B into her own style - SoulFolk - and draws comparisons to Tracy Chapman’s earthy folk, Joni Mitchell’s exquisite songcraft, and Ani DiFranco’s inventive guitar playing and dynamic delivery. www.thisislea.com
623) 6/22/15 8:00 Rich Siegel - Pianist, Vocalist, Musical Director, Bandleader, Songwriter www.RichSiegel.com
624) 7/22/15 6:30 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; 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
625) 7/22/15 8:00 Mark Allen Berube - Far more entertaining than any single human being with an acoustic guitar is allowed to be under current law, Mark is a performer who refuses to be anyone’s background music. His punchy, well-crafted songs and rapid-fire delivery allow audiences little time to indulge in the laughter he frequently provokes without feeling like they’ve missed something. http://www.markallenberube.com
626) 9/14/15 6:30 Brandon Broderick - from Central NJ dedicated to the art of songwriting and live performance, his sound is often a combination of folk, indie, rock, bluegrass and country influences with a modern twist. His main focus is lyrical content and song structure. His goal is to write captivating songs that people can relate to. He writes songs to make people think, evoke emotional response, or to share a story or personal experience. He performs over 200 shows a year and continually writes and records new material. www.broderickmusic.com

He fronted several high-profile NYC folk-rock and rock bands in the 70s and 80s before returning to his singer-songwriter roots in the 90s – where he has remained. http://www.williamjhall.com
628) 10/1/15 Stuart Fuchs – Stuart Fuchs is a multi instrumentalist, recording artist, sound healer, and an innovative and compassionate teacher. He is a lifelong minstrel and plays a wide variety of styles of music on acoustic guitar and ukulele including folk, classical, jazz, rock, avant garde, sacred and world music. He also plays Latin percussion, Bolivian charango, Australian didjeridoo, Native American flute, Tibetan singing bowls, and yes - hunting calls and amplified toys. http://stufuchs.com
629) 10/19/15 6:30 Arthur Sherry – “My music is an eclectic mix inspired by the great finger pickers like Chet Atkins and Merle Haggard. My songs are influenced by my grandmother, a poet in her own right and the world around me. I like to paint pictures with words so people can see it in their mind's eye.” https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCinw6ExyDNNZqlspSWEciiw
630) 11/18/15 Rick Nestler – author of a Grammy-winning song recorded by himself with Pete Seeger and a chorus of children; A Coast Guard licensed Master, an actor, a singer and a songwriter, has appeared at coffeehouses, folk festivals, house concerts and museums across the USA.

As was mentioned at the November board meeting I’ve agreed to put together our ACMA grant application for 2017. The grant application needs a LOT of data, most of which I will have to rely on you, the committee chairs, to provide.
I’ve gone through our past applications and summarized the data that we’ve reported in the past. Much of this data is likely to be stuff you’ll all be reporting at the annual meeting. So, please have a look at the attached list of things we need to put into the grant and try to cover this info, where possible, in your report to the annual meeting. Doing so then will make the process easier for all of us.
Thanks!
PS: If anyone has any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
