SOLD OUT
click on ticket link for waiting list

Groundbreaking young blues visionary Selwyn Birchwood will release his highly anticipated third Alligator album,
Living In A Burning House, on Friday, January 29, 2021. The rising guitar and lap steel player calls his original music “electric swamp funkin’ blues,” defined by raw and soulful musicianship played with fire-and-brimstone fervor. His gritty, unvarnished vocals draw his audience deep inside his unforgettable tales of love, passion, pain and pleasure. No other band on the current blues scene is built quite like Birchwood’s. In addition to Selwyn’s electrifying guitar and lap steel playing, the other featured instrument is Regi Oliver’s driving baritone sax. The group is rounded out by bass, drums and, for the first time, keyboards.

   Wanting to capture the power of the now larger band, Birchwood wrote and arranged 13 new songs, and brought in famed Grammy Award-winning musician Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Susan Tedeschi) to produce. From the rocking opener I’d Climb Mountains to the sweet soul of She’s A Dime and One More Time to the hair-raising Revelation, Living In A Burning House features some of the most vividly striking writing on today’s blues scene. Birchwood’s voice and vision are clear, his sound is edgy and compelling, and his stories are memorable and lasting.

According to Birchwood, “I tell my stories in my own way, with my own voice. You won’t ever hear me on stage telling someone else's story. Muddy Waters, B.B. King and John Lee Hooker all told their own stories. That’s what I’m doing.”

   Since the 2014 release of his Alligator Records debut, Don’t Call No Ambulance, Birchwood’s meteoric rise from playing small Florida clubs to headlining international festival stages is nothing short of phenomenal. The album received the Blues Music Award and Living Blues Critics’ Award for Best Debut Album Of 2014, and he won the 2015 Blues Blast Rising Star Award. Rave reviews ran in publications from Rolling Stone to The Wall Street Journal, from The Chicago Tribune to The San Francisco Chronicle. He followed in 2016 with Pick Your Poison. DownBeat said, “There’s a deep-seated power about Birchwood’s singing and six string/lap steel guitar work...and there’s an unmistakab le emotion and honesty linking him to forebears like Muddy Waters. Thoughtful, persuasive and rugged.”

   Birchwood and his band have crisscrossed the U.S. and Europe repeatedly, delivering unforgettable live performances. They have appeared domestically at festivals including The Chicago Blues Festival, Portland’s Waterfront Blues Festival, The Mississippi Valley Blues Festival, The Tampa Bay Blues Festival, The North Atlantic Blues Festival, The King Biscuit Blues Festival as well as on The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise and Joe Bonamassa’s Keeping The Blues Alive At Sea. Internationally, they have performed at The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival, Jazz a Vienne in France, the Rawa Blues Festival in Poland, the Moulin Blues Festival in the Netherlands, the Ottawa Blues Festival and the Montreal Jazz Festival in Canada, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, as well as playing concerts in Spain, Norway, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Belgium and Mexico.
S
   “I write and sing what I know,” says Birchwood, whose musical innovations are as expansive as his influences are deep. With Living In A Burning House, Selwyn Birchwood is looking forward to winning over thousands of new fans. “They say everything is better when it’s made with love,” says Birchwood. “That’s how we play our music and that’s how we made the new album. I want my audience to say, ‘I know exactly what that feels like,’ when a song hits them. Because that’s when it stops just being music and starts being medicine. After all, we are all stricken with the condition of being human.”

Shawn Mullins in Concert

After a series of indie record releases, Shawn Mullins’ critical breakthrough came when 1998 Soul’s Core album shot him to fame on the strength of its Grammy-nominated No. 1 hit, “Lullaby” followed byAAA/Americana No. 1 “Beautiful Wreck” from 2006’s 9th Ward Pickin Parlor. His song, “Shimmer” was used in promotion of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and was included on the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack. He co-wrote “All in My Head” which was featured in episode one of the hit TV sitcom “Scrubs.” Mullins

also co-wrote the Zac Brown Band’s No. 1 country tune “Toes.” In early 2002, he formed super group The Thorns withMatthew Sweet and Peter Droge. Mullins’ most recent album My Stupid Heart, was released in 2015, the theme of which, Mullins says, can be summed up most succinctly by the song title, “It All Comes Down ToLove,” the guiding force behind just about every song on the album. Mullins is currently embarking on a recording project in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the release of his album Soul’s Core, which came out July 17, 1998! He always performs songs from Soul’s Core in his live sets including “Lullaby” (Rockabye), “Gulf of Mexico,” “Twin Rocks Oregon,” “Shimmer” and “Anchored in You”. The song arrangements have evolved through the years as he continues to perform them live and grow as an artist.For the 20th anniversary, Shawn will revisit the music on Soul’s Core and record two new versions of the
album. He is calling this Soul’s Core Revival. This is not a remix or a remaster of the original, but rather brand new recordings with new arrangements of the songs – one album will be new stripped down solo performances, some on guitar, some on piano and maybe one a cappella and the second will be a new studio recording with his full band, Soul Carnival.

Will Evans has spent the last decade as the primary songwriter and frontman for the New England based Roots Rock outfit Barefoot Truth. After four albums and 50+ million plays on Pandora & Spotify, he embarked on his solo journey – and has since released three additional full-length albums and toured extensively.
His most recent album “Rise” was nominated for three categories by the New England Music Awards: Album of the Year, Roots Act of the Year, and Video of the Year (“Family Tree”). The album features deeply personal topics of humanity, compassion, and a reflection of the current political times.
A lifelong surfer and environmentalist, his songs speak to the importance of connecting with and protecting the earth. At a time when many are looking for words of inspiration and reassurance, “Rise” delivers a collection of socially conscious songs filled with messages of love, possibility, and inclusion.
In 2018 and 2019, Will joined his good friend Trevor Hall as a member of his touring band and as a frequent supporting act. Together they performed to passionate crowds across North America and Europe. Trevor Hall is featured on “Hoka Hey,” the album’s opening song.
In his live performances, Will displays a technical mastery of live-looping skills to showcase his background in percussion mixed with layers of acoustic guitar and soulful vocals.
Will has shared the stage with many top artists including Crosby & Nash, Grace Potter, Bruce Hornsby, Rusted Root, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Trevor Hall, Nahko, Xavier Rudd, Donavon Frankenreiter, Ryan Montbleau, Railroad Earth and members of Dispatch.

RAIN or SHINE no refunds
Multi-Instrumentalist and Singer-Songwriter Darrell Scott mines and cultivates the everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane, and allowing it to be surreal, ever poignant, and candidly honest, lilting, blooming, and resonating. The words he fosters allow us to make sense of the world, what is at stake here, and our place in it. And ultimately, Darrell knows the sole truth of life is that love is all that matters, that we don’t always get it right, but that’s the instinctive and requisite circuitous allure of things, why we forever chase it, and why it is held sacred.
Darrell Scott comes from a musical family with a father who had him smitten with guitars by the age of 4, alongside a brother who played Jerry Reed style as well. From there, things only ramped up with literature and poetry endeavors while a student at Tufts University, along with playing his way through life. This would never change.
After recently touring with Robert Plant and the Zac Brown Band (2 years with each), and producing albums for Malcolm Holcomb and Guy Clark and being named “songwriter of the year” for both ASCAP and NSAI, these days ﬁnd him roaming his Tennessee wilderness acreage hiking along the small river, creating delicious meals with food raised on his property and playing music. He often leads songwriting workshops to help people tell their own truths with their stories, and is as busy as always writing, producing, performing, and just plain fully immersing himself in life..

Career Highlights:
Grammy Nomination for Best Country Song – “Long Time Gone” Dixie Chicks 2003
Grammy Nomination for Best Country Instrumental Performance – “The Second Mouse” 2001
Americana 2007 Song of the Year – “Hank Williams’ Ghost”
Rolling Stone Magazine listed Theatre of the Unheard as one of the 2003 Critics Top Albums

Charlie Mars in Concert

$20 in Advance/$25 at the door if available
Charlie Mars has been a journeyman artist with all the ups and downs that entails, from major label releases and high profile gigs opening for the likes of REM, KT Tunstall, Citizen Cope, Steve Earle, among others, from uncertainty to redemption. Now, with the extraordinary new Blackberry Light, the Mississippi-based troubadour builds upon the distinctive musical approach first mined on his 2009 breakthrough Like A Bird, Like A Plane, employing supple grooves and ambient Daniel Lanois-inspired production to enhance the elemental force of his classic songwriting influenced by the likes of Bob Marley, Bill Withers and Dire Straits. From the dreamlike, “Nothing But The Rain,” to the shimmering “Picture of an Island,” the album sees Mars delving deep within to offer insight and a path to self awareness and ultimately transcendence via a gracefully beatific distillation of folk, rock, and smooth acoustic soul.

Hi, I’m Dan. I’m a whiskey & beer drinking, fishing & hunting loving, motorcycle riding, quality food eating, hippie sympathizing, people loving, husband & father who lives in Minneapolis and shares a life with my amazing wife and two adorable sons named Oak and Alder. I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, MI, and moved to Minneapolis when I was 18 to study music, and I stayed because I’m one of those crazy people that enjoys the snow and cold weather.

Music is my trade & performing it for people is my passion. When I’m not in my studio writing songs and cutting records, or on the road playing shows, I’m usually tending to our backyard chickens, eating fresh veggies from my wife’s huge garden, making syrup from our city maples, or doing one of my many outdoor hobbies.

Now here are a few things about my music career that I should probably share in a music bio:

• In September 2014 Budweiser released their "Friends Are Waiting" commercial campaign featuring me singing my song When You Come Home and it premiered during the Super Bowl.

• In February, 2018, I released my newest album 25 Years and is the most prolific and widely distributed album to date, featuring songs that have been placed in major ads as well as widely played Spotify playlists.

• In October, 2018, Miller Lite featured my newest single “So Good” in one of their commercials that played for months during NFL games on ESPN & more.

• In March, 2019, my song “You Feel Like Home” was featured in Explore Minnesota Tourism’s newest ad campaign.

• Over the years I’ve had the honor of sharing the stage with some really cool artists & bands including The Civil Wars, Andy Grammer, Eric Hutchinson, Matt Nathanson, NeedtoBreathe, Augustana, Tyrone Wells, Haley Reinhart, John McLaughlin, Will Hoge, Drew Holcomb, Sister Hazel, and more.

An Official Showcase Artist at Folk Alliance International and a number of major festivals, events, opera houses and theaters nationwide, Christie Lenée performs with radiant joy that awes crowds and inspires fellow musicians.

Christie’s unique guitar work and profound instrumental compositions are well described as 'Michael Hedges meets Joni Mitchell and Dave Matthews'. Her niche is the integration of melodic pop lyricism with catchy hooks that excite both modern commercial listeners and classic purists.

Christie Lenée is a captivating performer with a devoted following among instrumental, folk-pop and rock band audiences. Combining guitar mastery, contemporary singer/songwriter and a passion for storytelling, she thrives on bringing people together through the language of music.

Her most recent album “STAY” was one of three finalists for “Best CD of 2016” (Indie Acoustic Project Awards), including the song “Love Who You Are” nominated for a 2016 Posi Award in the category “Songs for Personal Transformation.”Christie spent most of 2017 on tour in the US, Australia, and many countries around Asia.

The Currys have been staking their claim within the Americana music scene since 2013, when vocalist/guitarist Tommy Curry quit his teaching job and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, to join the harmony-based folk-rock outfit newly formed by brother Jimmy Curry (vocals, guitar) and cousin Galen Curry (vocals, bass). The band, who cut their teeth playing the oyster bars and listening rooms of the Florida Panhandle, has since written and released two full-length albums: their studio debut Follow (2014), called “eye-opening, but warmly familiar” by Earmilk, and whose title track is “one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard” (Todd Moe of NCPR); and sophomore effort West of Here (2016), with its “tight-as-a-rubber-band” harmonies and “infectious” songwriting (PopMatters).

For their third album, This Side of the Glass (2019), The Currys teamed up with producer/guitarist Sam Whedon and engineer Stewart Myers (Jason Mraz, Parachute) to map new terrain. As ever, the band’s three-part family harmonies provide the organic, lived-in feel of roots music, but the album aspires to a greater variety of form and orchestration than earlier releases. The songs defy any neat categorization: the country nostalgia of “Gulf Coast Home” complements the folk-pop sensibility of “Pin You Down,” while the guitars and gang vocals of “Soon Enough” pay unmistakable homage to Paul Simon’s “Graceland.”

Lyrically, This Side of the Glass explores questions of perspective, an apt consideration for a band featuring three songwriters. Each Curry offers his take on the time-worn threads of life and love, contributing to the album’s tapestry of introspection and social commentary. Likewise, each in turn ruminates on the paradox faced by every performing songwriter: how to balance one’s roles as both the author of stories and the object of storytelling. This Side of the Glass is an insightful and satisfying new chapter from a band with many more stories to tell.

A Whimzey inspired set has been arranged at the Safety Harbor Art and Music Center (shamc) where you can make an appointment to have holiday portraits on the afternoons of december 5th Appointment hours are 10PM to 4PM. 3-5 print quality digital files will be emailed to you by the end of that week and the cost is only $75. For under a hundred bucks, you will have a unique photo to send as gifts to your family and friends AND you will be supporting art and music at SHAMC. So be as "funky" as you'd like by wearing your best ugly Christmas sweater, elf costume, formal attire, bathing suit or whatever strikes your fancy! There will be props available if you'd like to add to the fun! So, who should do this? Best Friends, Girls groups, Families, Couples, Singles, Co-Workers.

For more details and to make your appointment, please call Lori at 813-598-3785 Appointments are non refundable and must be paid in advance.

Connor Christian in Concert
Shamc Outdoor Stage
Saturday Nov 28, 2020
Doors 7:30 Concert 8 pm
$20 in advance-no walkups- bring your own chair--Covid Rules Apply
There's a certain kind of music that carries with it an honesty, a sense of what's true, the pared back wisdom of a life on the road. Connor's sound embodies that raw Southern sincerity; he's got a big voice, writes big harmonies, and his catchy songs express a laid-back storytelling of the places he's been, and the things that he's seen. And he's been all over the place - in both his life and his music, and having grown up across Asia, Europe, and North America Connor now calls Nashville, Tennessee home. Starting out in folk, then rap, and citing influences as diverse as Elton John, The Band, Sam Cooke, and The Eagles, his sound is a melting pot of rock, soul, and country. When he's not playing with a band he's playing anything from piano and guitar to mandolin, or taking to the stage with a kick drum and a loop station.

Connor has spent the best part of a decade as frontman of country/rock outfit The Southern Gothic, headlining across the country, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Willie Nelson, Tim McGraw, Zac Brown Band and Uncle Kracker. The group has seen much success in recent years, including being named Billboard's 2014 "Band on the Verge", 2015 GA Entertainer of the Year, Creative Loafing's 2015 "Best Country Band", and spending four weeks at #1 on CMT Pure with their video for Sheets Down. Having released three albums during his time with The Southern Gothic, his forthcoming album Skeletons, due for release in August, is his first solo project as Connor, and is set to be a ride through the open roads of unique warmth and laid-back grit of his sound.

You've never heard violin like this!
The world's premier visionary violinist, Dixon's life mission is to inspire people - and he has done so across North America, including giving three TED talks/performances, over ten years at Burning Man, plus radio, TV, and film appearances. A former technology leader and symphony violinist, Dixon walked away from a distinguished career to follow his dream full-time, and invented a whole new music genre. Dixon now improvises on a 5-string electric violin with a looping system he developed to create an all-live one-man symphony, guided by his remarkable personal story of life transformation.

Paper or Plastic...Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose?

The now familiar question... paper or plastic? is not subject to a simple single syllable answer. The correct answer is, “it depends”. What if one or the other costs more money, or uses more nonrenewable energy, or causes uneven employment opportunities, or environmental impacts? The “best” alternative often is not the best within each of these frames of reference.

Like “paper or plastic?” the question about Recycle, Reuse or Repurpose has much the same answer...it depends. Each of these alternative strategies requires expenditures of resources. They require different expenditures of money. They have differing social consequences (jobs). And they each have different environmental impacts. Decisions regarding RRR need to be made from a whole systems perspective where the benefits within each frame of reference are weighed against the costs.

We might also apply the same perspective to renewable energy sources (solar, wind, etc.). It is often assumed that renewable energy trumps everything... “If it is renewable its got to be good”. But not always so...renewable energy sources are not always the silver bullet many think they are.

In the best of all worlds decisions about renewable energy and recycle options need to include not only economic costs and benefits, but environmental, energetic, and social costs and benefits as well. In this talk we will explore how to combine these various costs and benefits within a single framework to ultimately make better decisions regarding renew-ability, recycle-ability, reuse-ability, and repurpose-ability.

Eve C. Williams, Architect
LECTURE ABSTARCT

What is “Green” Design
Design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants in five broad areas:
· Sustainable site planning· Safeguarding water and water use efficiency
· Energy efficiency and renewable energy· Conservation of materials and resources
· Indoor environmental quality

Making a Difference
In 2003, the City of Tallahassee decided to expand and completely renovate its 30-year old Solid Waste Services operations and administration building adding a second floor and vertical circulation. During initial planning it was decided that the renovated building should set a standard for environmentally responsible design and building practices. To this end, it was decided to pursue United States Green Building Coalition (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED® ) Green Building (GB) certification.

Project Goals
•Create Healthy internal working environments for our employees.
•Reduce the negative impact on the external environment.
•Serve as a prototype for all future buildings and as a model to private/public

Re-cycle, Re-purpose and Design Thinking

CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING IN A CLIMATE CHANGING ERA

We need to adjust, prioritize, experiment and get sensitive to our tiny blue dot.

Rethinking the precepts of the organic school of thought and applying them to our contemporary post-industrial landscape by Design thinking, recycling, re-purposing and the benefits that these ideas have on society. Since, built environments after all should be the quest for harmony between human beings and their regional climate.

"Our goal is to raise awareness to the importance of specific topics and activate people's interest, hopefully by showing how fun, easy and beneficial it can be to be more environmentally conscious"

IDEAS should be complex not complicated. We need to embrace the complexity, and the difficult and sometimes painful feedback that comes along with it.
The result is inclusion in it's fullest capacity, embracing innovative, community driven solutions

Workshops related to casting recycled materials into building components will be offered in the afternoon on both days led by Grant V. Genova, Architect of SHAMc.

DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOPS
Included in the conference will be workshops, explaining and doing many of the processes we've used to repurpose and recycle material for use in buildings.
During the workshop we will create modular parts made from re-cycled / re-claimed material. Modular parts that transform into a structural system, building components which assemble into a small building and structural fences.
The module of construction will be a 2' x 2' structual component that is designed to attach itself to other components making a modular assembly.
One of the constructions will be a small, 12 by 12 building, another will be a 20 foot in length structural fence.
Other constructions that could be built would be (Projections), such as decks, carports, balconies, patio covers, utility wall, bench, garbage bin etc.

“Stirring vocals…from a promising new band.” – C-Ville Weekly

“…toothsome and satisfying…” – Popshifter on West of Here

“It’s is almost impossible not to be moved, physically and metaphorically, by the gorgeously composed tracks on this album.” – Wordkrapht on Follow

The Currys have been staking their claim within the Americana music scene since 2013, when vocalist/guitarist Tommy Curry quit his teaching job and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, to join the harmony-based folk-rock outfit newly formed by brother Jimmy Curry (vocals, guitar) and cousin Galen Curry (vocals, bass). The band, who cut their teeth playing the oyster bars and listening rooms of the Florida Panhandle, has since written and released two full-length albums: their studio debut Follow (2014), called “eye-opening, but warmly familiar” by Earmilk, and whose title track is “one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard” (Todd Moe of NCPR); and sophomore effort West of Here (2016), with its “tight-as-a-rubber-band” harmonies and “infectious” songwriting (PopMatters).

For their third album, This Side of the Glass (2019), The Currys teamed up with producer/guitarist Sam Whedon and engineer Stewart Myers (Jason Mraz, Parachute) to map new terrain. As ever, the band’s three-part family harmonies provide the organic, lived-in feel of roots music, but the album aspires to a greater variety of form and orchestration than earlier releases. The songs defy any neat categorization: the country nostalgia of “Gulf Coast Home” complements the folk-pop sensibility of “Pin You Down,” while the guitars and gang vocals of “Soon Enough” pay unmistakable homage to Paul Simon’s “Graceland.”

Lyrically, This Side of the Glass explores questions of perspective, an apt consideration for a band featuring three songwriters. Each Curry offers his take on the time-worn threads of life and love, contributing to the album’s tapestry of introspection and social commentary. Likewise, each in turn ruminates on the paradox faced by every performing songwriter: how to balance one’s roles as both the author of stories and the object of storytelling. This Side of the Glass is an insightful and satisfying new chapter from a band with many more stories to tell.

WAHH World Fusion Band
Friday March 27, 2020
Doors 7pm/ Show 730pm
$15 in advance /$20 at the door

Tabla Maestro, Vocalist, Multi-Percussionist and Composer Shankh Lahiri formed 'WAHH World Fusion Band’ out of his desire to combine his traditional musical origins from India with his current and contemporary musical explorations from the West. In addition, Shankh’s deep appreciation of other Cultural Music from around the world inspired his organization of the band. WAHH’s band members are all highly skilled and seasoned musicians that seamlessly weave their musical expertise into a symbiotic and tightly intertwined musical design. Joining Shankh,

WAHH features the amazing Peter Mongaya on Guitar, with jaw-dropping guitar licks and solos, the innovative and stunningly agile Rajib Karmakar on his incredible Sitar , the expertly diversified Michael Washington on Drums and Percussion, highly creative Guianna on Vocal and Young talented Seth Lynn on Bass.

Reflecting prominent, traditional Indian influences and strong Western influences, WAHH World Fusion Band also brings in subtle influences from the Middle East and Africa. The music is original, captivating and colorfully dynamic. It is mostly instrumental, occasionally dotted with emotional Indian style vocals or mesmerizing ‘Rhythmic Scatting’ by Shankh. WAHH’s live performances often showcase Shankh spontaneously engaging an eager audience into a Rhythmic frenzy of irresistible clapping along and ‘call and response’ participation. WAHH’s compelling compositions seduce listeners into an adventurous soundscape of sublime contemplation, surprising musical turns and infectious, high-energy grooves. Their congruent fit of Eastern and Western instruments, masterful fusing of musical genres and artful combination of traditional and modern musical expression appeals to wide and diverse audiences with a distinct Global Appeal.

Best of the Bay' 2016 winner WAHH World Fusion Band debuted their first performance in Tampa in 2009. From that day on, WAHH! World Fusion Band quickly exploded onto the scene. Since then they have performed at prestigious venues throughout the United States such as 'The House of Blues' and 'The Mint' in L.A, Rockwood Music Hall, Silvana and The Shrine in New York City, Straz Center of Performing Arts and many others.

They have also performed at many Festivals including India Festival across the U.S and here at home in Tampa Bay for the Gasparilla Music Festival, Tropical Heatwave and was specially featured for the 'Lights on Tampa' event. After WAHH's first CD Liberation, they released their second CD Brother Ray on April, 1st - 2018 at Skippers in Tampa and the band blessed to had multiple CD release tours in Atlanta, North Carolina and Charlotte. Wahh’s Collaboration with ‘Mystic India World Tour’ - 2018 was a very unique project.

Selwyn Birchwood
Saturday March 21,2020
doors 7pm /Show 730pm
$15 in Advance $20 at the door if available
no food truck tonight Sorry

With his fiery guitar and lap steel playing, his trailblazing, instantly memorable songs and gritty, unvarnished vocals, Selwyn Birchwood is among the most extraordinary young stars in the blues. His deep familiarity with blues tradition allows him to bust the genre wide open, adding new sounds, colors and textures, all delivered with a revival tent preacher's fervor and a natural storyteller's charisma. Since the 2014 release of his Alligator Records debut, Don't Call No Ambulance, Birchwood's meteoric rise from playing small Florida clubs to headlining international festival stages is nothing short of phenomenal, as he continues to set the contemporary blues world on fire. The album received the Blues Music Award and Living Blues Critics' Award for Best Debut Album Of 2014, and he won the 2015 Blues Blast Rising Star Award. Selwyn and his band have crisscrossed the U.S. and Europe repeatedly, delivering unforgettable live performances. With his new album, Pick Your Poison, Birchwood, along with his band—saxophonist Regi Oliver, bassist Huff Wright and drummer Courtney "Big Love" Girlie—takes a major step forward, crafting visionary blues for a new generation of forward-looking fans.

Birchwood, who attacks his guitar and lap steel with searing intensity, wrote and produced all 13 songs on Pick Your Poison. His richly detailed, hard-hitting originals run the emotional gamut from the humorously personal "My Whiskey Loves My Ex" to the gospel-inflected "Even The Saved Need Saving" to the hard truths of the topical "Corporate Drone" and "Police State" to the existential choice of the title track. The cutting-edge songs are made all the more impactful by Birchwood's gruff vocals, his untamed musicianship and his band's seemingly telepathic accompaniment. "I write and sing what I know," says Birchwood, whose innovations are as expansive as his influences. "This album has a broad reach. It's for young, old and everyone in between."

Food truck will be on location!!

I didn’t grow up singing or playing music. I’ve never had voice lessons, and it wasn’t until after college that I started teaching myself how to play guitar. So, if you’d told me then that I’d end up making a living as a singer-songwriter, I wouldn't have believed you. Even now, with the upcoming release of my fifth studio album, Morning Light, I can barely believe it.
I hadn’t seriously considered pursuing a career in music until May 9, 2007, when I walked off stage after opening for John Legend. One set, six songs in just thirty minutes, changed my life forever. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to play with artists like Heart, Brandi Carlile, Gavin DeGraw, James Blunt, Grace Potter, Goo Goo Dolls, as well as tour Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, performing for our men and women in uniform stationed overseas.
Music has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. Without music, I may have never met the two greatest loves of my life, my wife, Mandy, and my daughter, Annabelle Rose Baker. So, I see my songs as a celebration of every right turn and wrong turn that has led me here, and not a day goes by that I don’t give thanks for that old wood box with six strings.
Along with my life in music, I’m also an Emmy Award winning writer and host of the national PBS travel series Tennessee Valley Uncharted, which showcases the beauty, culture, and adventure across the Southeast. Music has not only allowed me to see the world, but more importantly, it has shown me the beauty and importance of home. Now, after years of touring and seeing life pass by through a windshield, I’m getting the opportunity, as the host of Tennessee Valley Uncharted, to rediscover how great the Tennessee Valley is and why I’m so proud to call it my home. (Season 5 Premieres May 22nd!)

Multi-Instrumentalist and Singer-Songwriter Darrell Scott mines and cultivates the everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane, and allowing it to be surreal, ever poignant, and candidly honest, lilting, blooming, and resonating. The words he fosters allow us to make sense of the world, what is at stake here, and our place in it. And ultimately, Darrell knows the sole truth of life is that love is all that matters, that we don’t always get it right, but that’s the instinctive and requisite circuitous allure of things, why we forever chase it, and why it is held sacred.
Darrell Scott comes from a musical family with a father who had him smitten with guitars by the age of 4, alongside a brother who played Jerry Reed style as well. From there, things only ramped up with literature and poetry endeavors while a student at Tufts University, along with playing his way through life. This would never change.
After recently touring with Robert Plant and the Zac Brown Band (2 years with each), and producing albums for Malcolm Holcomb and Guy Clark and being named “songwriter of the year” for both ASCAP and NSAI, these days ﬁnd him roaming his Tennessee wilderness acreage hiking along the small river, creating delicious meals with food raised on his property and playing music. He often leads songwriting workshops to help people tell their own truths with their stories, and is as busy as always writing, producing, performing, and just plain fully immersing himself in life..

Career Highlights:
Grammy Nomination for Best Country Song – “Long Time Gone” Dixie Chicks 2003
Grammy Nomination for Best Country Instrumental Performance – “The Second Mouse” 2001
Americana 2007 Song of the Year – “Hank Williams’ Ghost”
Rolling Stone Magazine listed Theatre of the Unheard as one of the 2003 Critics Top Albums
ASCAP Songwriter of the Year 2002

SCOTT MULVAHILL in Concert - GRAMMY NOMINATED
Sat March 14, 2020 Doors 7 PM/Show 7:30PM $20 advance/ $25 door if avail

As a teenager, Scott picked up the bass guitar on a whim. Natural talent and the lure of a challenge drove him to be the best musician he could and discover his love for singing, songwriting and the upright bass. With the encouragement of his teacher, he went on to study music in college.
Scott moved to Nashville after school, and he would meet American music icon Ricky Skaggs and join his Grammy winning band, Kentucky Thunder. He toured with Ricky for five years, and in that time, first started writing songs on his upright bass.

Hi, I’m Dan. I’m a whiskey & beer drinking, fishing & hunting loving, motorcycle riding, quality food eating, hippie sympathizing, people loving, husband & father who lives in Minneapolis and shares a life with my amazing wife and two adorable sons named Oak and Alder. I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, MI, and moved to Minneapolis when I was 18 to study music, and I stayed because I’m one of those crazy people that enjoys the snow and cold weather.

Music is my trade & performing it for people is my passion. When I’m not in my studio writing songs and cutting records, or on the road playing shows, I’m usually tending to our backyard chickens, eating fresh veggies from my wife’s huge garden, making syrup from our city maples, or doing one of my many outdoor hobbies.

Now here are a few things about my music career that I should probably share in a music bio:

• In September 2014 Budweiser released their "Friends Are Waiting" commercial campaign featuring me singing my song When You Come Home and it premiered during the Super Bowl.

• In February, 2018, I released my newest album 25 Years and is the most prolific and widely distributed album to date, featuring songs that have been placed in major ads as well as widely played Spotify playlists.

• In October, 2018, Miller Lite featured my newest single “So Good” in one of their commercials that played for months during NFL games on ESPN & more.

• In March, 2019, my song “You Feel Like Home” was featured in Explore Minnesota Tourism’s newest ad campaign.

• Over the years I’ve had the honor of sharing the stage with some really cool artists & bands including The Civil Wars, Andy Grammer, Eric Hutchinson, Matt Nathanson, NeedtoBreathe, Augustana, Tyrone Wells, Haley Reinhart, John McLaughlin, Will Hoge, Drew Holcomb, Sister Hazel, and more.

Have Gun, Will Travel in Concert
with
Opening act Will Quinlan
Friday February 21, 2020
Door 7pm /Show 730pm $10 in Advance

Florida’s Have Gun, Will Travel return with their first new album in four years. Strange Chemistry is the sound of a band with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. Following in the footsteps of fellow Florida rockers Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, while simultaneously paying tribute to their early indie-rock influences, HGWT set out to make the quintessential American rock album. Singer-guitarist Matt Burke and fellow bandmates; brother and bassist Daniel Burke, guitarist Scott Anderson, drummer JP Beaubien, and keyboardist Edward Stork; along with help on several songs from good friend Garrett Klahn (Texas Is The Reason), deliver their most personal and emotionally resonant album to date.

Much like the characters in the 1986 film Stand By Me; the original inspiration for the Have Gun, Will Travel moniker; the members of this Florida indie rock outfit are on a life-defining journey. A journey filled with ups and downs; victories and defeats; moments of despair and redemption. Following the release of Science from an Easy Chair, HGWT’s epic concept album about a British explorer’s ill-fated Antarctic expedition, they encountered troubled waters of their own. Singer-songwriter-guitarist Matt Burke found himself in the hospital, questioning whether or not he would be able to continue with the band. Burke’s life-long struggle with anxiety disorder had come to a head and put him in the emergency room three times within a twelve-month period.

After a full US tour in support of Science…, the band members took some time off to deal with personal matters, then collectively made the decision to carry on. Feeling creatively exhausted from the last album, they took a full year off from creating any new music. When the inspiration returned, however, the pendulum had swung in the opposite direction. Instead of narrative stories about historical figures and events, Burke began writing personal, introspective songs. Songs dealing with anxiety, doubt and indecision. Songs about internal conflict and the duality of man. Songs about fear, frustration, perseverance and victory over adversity. Strange Chemistry is the product of HGWT’s determination and commitment to each other and to the music.

Will Quinlan is opening act for Have Gun, Will Travel
BIO:
Texas native son (San Antonio) and Tampa area resident singer/songwriter Will Quinlan has been plying his unique blend of Folk/Americana throughout the southeast for many years now, generating a deep reserve of respect and admiration amongst fans, peers and promoters alike.

Combining a slightly rough hewn yet genuinely moving sonic aesthetic and delivery with deeply personal and emotionally evocative lyrics, Will has earnestly traversed a long artistic road since first hearing the undeniable call in the sounds of the late 60's/early 70's Folk/Rock scene specifically characterized by the profound impact Jackson Browne, Gram Parsons, Townes Van Zandt and Neil Young had on his nascent teenage attempts at writing.
"Will is currently working on several projects both solo and with his bands.The Holy Slow Train and The Vesper Bell, with a steady stream of single releases slated for the coming spring with full LP's to follow later in the year."
PRESS:
"...one of the best alt-country/folk/americana acts we've seen in a long while. Quinlan's gallop is characterized by lovingly gruff detail and elegant restraint...a well-bred affair that echoes almost every great artist that defines the genre." - Orlando Weekly

"Will Quinlan is living proof there is still life left in the alt-country universe...Quinlan balances grit and grace with passion and poetry resulting in a tension that makes the songs live and breathe." - MetroMix

"WIll Quinlan turns raw emotion into folk/rock poetry on "Navasota", an album with songs that are easily on par with the best of the Americana genre. Moving deftly from gritty and sorrowful, to angry and ultimately triumphant, Quinlan's earnest labors provide proof that real life always sounds better with loud guitars." - WIll Quinlan and The Diviners "Navasota" album review, Curtis Ross in Tampa Bay Times.

"Blessed with a voice the near twin of Farrar's, Quinlan, subtle and moving,
devastatingly delivers four chords and the truth." - Americana/UK

If you do, you don’t know the Q!
“NRBQ remains impressively vibrant and cheerfully committed,
and indeed embody the idea that rock 'n' roll can be a fountain of youth.” —New London Day

Fifty years of celebrating is worth celebrating! Come celebrate with us.
NRBQ is Terry Adams, Scott Ligon, Casey McDonough, and John Perrin.
“NRBQ” stands for New Rhythm and Blues Quartet. The band’s music, a rollicking blend of everything from stomping rockabilly to Beatles-influenced pop to Thelonious Monk-inspired jazz.

The Southern Gothic in Concert
(Connor Christian, Spirko and Shawn Thacker)
Sat - Jan 11, 2020
Doors 7pm/Show 730pm
$15 in Adv/$20 at the Door

Since 2007, The Southern Gothic original members Connor (lead vox/ guitar/ piano), Spirko (fiddle/ guitar/ piano/ vocals) and Shawn Thacker (drums) have been bringing their unique brand of sun-baked, road-worn country, southern rock & soul to countless stages and fans across the US. Currently based in Nashville, TN, ’SoGo’ has shared stages with such artists as Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson, Big & Rich, Zac Brown Band, Styx, Uncle Kracker, Corey Smith, Gloriana, ZZ Top, Heart and more. The diverse nature of the artists with whom they’ve toured reflects the diversity of the band’s sound. “It works,” says Connor in regard to the varying nature of the audiences. “We’ve played to country crowds, rock crowds, young crowds, old crowds. We’ve played to jam band audiences and we’ve played bluegrass festivals. The response with all of them has been fantastic.”

Fantastic enough for Billboard Magazine to notice. TSG was named “Artist on the Verge” in Billboard’s Best Bets after debuting #1 on its Heat Seekers List. 2013 saw the band’s hit single “Sheets Down” stay on the fan-voted CMT Pure Countdown for 4 weeks, resulting in 60k views on YouTube. The band used this momentum to play hundreds of shows over thousands of miles in the next few years, perfecting their high-energy live show and growing their loyal fan base.
Locked and loaded for 2020, The Southern Gothic will hit the ground running with a highly anticipated new EP, 'Burning Moonlight', a revamped live show, and Winter tour coming to a stage near you!

Doors 4PM/ Show 5PM-7pm

Freddy and Francine began in early 2008 Shortly after meeting as cast members of a 2008 Hollywood Met Theatre production of "HAiR", Bianca Caruso and Lee Ferris teamed up to embark upon what would become a series of late night songwriting sessions. Early on, the two musicians instated a rule; as Ferris explains, “We would never leave a session without completing a song.” Because of this dedication, in just two years’ time, Caruso and Ferris co-wrote more than thirty songs, and with the help of drummer Christopher Allis and bassist John Classick, they took to the studio to record Freddy & Francine's self-titled EP (November 2008) as well as two full length albums, The Briar Patch (April 2009) and The Forest & the Sea (due out in November 2010).

Though the songs created from these late night writing sessions were originally intended for the duo’s respective solo performances, it became abundantly clear that these co-creations should be performed in tandem. On the credit of both of their choral backgrounds and Caruso’s experience as a background singer for Idina Menzel, the two naturally fused their voices into one, creating the effect of a single lead voice comprised of swelling, soulful harmonies and melodies.

In the past two and a half years, Freddy & Francine have become regulars on the Los Angeles live circuit, building a following through word-of-mouth with regular gigs at “listening rooms” such as The Hotel Café, Vermont Restaurant and McCabe's Guitar Shop. Additionally, a feature of their song "Brownstone Alley" as TOP TUNE on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, as well as in-store appearances at the Santa Monica Apple Store, have helped to bolster the group’s iTunes sales for their previously released EP and The Briar Patch. In August 2010, Freddy & Francine played Koffeehouse Production's 3rd Annual Evening of Independence at Los Angeles’ Ford Amphitheatre, closing the set with Katherine McPhee and Sixpence None the Richer.

Tellabration : A Celebration of Storytelling
7-9pm November 23, 2019
doors open at 630pm- $5 suggested donation at the door

Welcome to TELLABRATION!™, a night of storytelling celebrated worldwide on or about the third Saturday in November.
Storytelling enthusiasts all around the globe will share their talents in concerts held in cities and towns to celebrate the art of storytelling. Locally, TELLABRATION!™ brings together the regions most celebrated storytellers, to delight, captivate, and mesmerize audiences with their stories. It creates a network of storytelling enthusiasts bonded together in spirit at the same time and on the same weekend.

TELLABRATION!™ originator J. G. Pinkerton envisioned this international event as a means of building community support for storytelling. In 1988 the event was launched by the Connecticut Storytelling Center in six locations across the state. A great success, TELLABRATION!™ extended to several other states the following year, and then, in 1990, expanded nationwide under the umbrella of the National Storytelling Network
(then called NAPPS, and later the National Storytelling Association).

In 1995, for the first time, there was a TELLABRATION!™ in Japan, brought there by Japanese storyteller Masako Sueyoshi, who had been a part of TELLABRATION!™ when she lived in Connecticut for several years. By 1997, there were TELLABRATION!™ events on every continent but Antarctica. (Anyone know any good penguin storytellers?)
TELLABRATION!™ is traditionally held on the third Saturday in November. Some events, however, may be at an alternate time during the same weekend..

A Welcome to all from TELLABRATION!™ founder J. G. Pinkerton

In 1988, I dreamed of having a night each year when storytellers in each community got together and told stories to their families and friends.
I called the idea TELLABRATION!™
Friends of storytelling liked the idea and began making it happen. Each year the circle of friends has grown and now TELLABRATION!™ happens all across America as well as in other lands.
I am only the man who had the idea… it is the friends of storytelling who have made the event a success.
Hundreds of tellers telling to thousands of people.
May what the tellers share bring joy to many people and may the listeners come to know that…through storytelling, we can draw closer together in peace… and in friendship… and in love.
Storytelling reaches around the world and across all generations… reminding us of our common humanity. I know storytelling creates experiences… and … shared experiences are the basis of all relationships. My best wishes go with all who join in this common endeavor.
an arrat of storytellers will be presenting throughout the evening

Presenters at this years event include

THE RECTIFIERS-SHAUN HOPPER/JKLEIN/CHRIS BARBOSA
NOVEMBER 16, 2019
$15ADV/$20 AT THE DOOR
730PM DOOR/SHOW 8PM

Shaun Hopper is at first glance an unassuming presence, a true southern gentleman whose humility stands in stark contrast to the prodigious talents he unveils on stage. An unparalleled master of the fret-board. Merging complex melodies, harmonies and bass lines along with a one-of-a-kind mix of percussive elements, he captivates everyone within earshot. Whether his listeners are guitar enthusiasts or not matters little, within a few seconds they soon realize that they are listening to a true virtuoso. Hopper's original compositions and arrangements of pop tunes are infused with all the cutting edge techniques and flavorings embraced by the new breed of You-Tube sensations, including influences like Adam Rafferty, Andy McKee and Don Ross. Yet, it is his traditional and schooled "approach" to music which keeps him unquestionably steeped in, and inspired by, the greats. Influences include guitar legends; Chet Atkins, Andres Segovia, Tommy Emmanuel, George Benson, Michael Hedges, Martin Taylor, Buster B. Jones, Pete Huttlinger and Leo Kottke, just to name a few. The final result is a signature style which crosses over the full range of musical genres; Folk, Classical, Celtic, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Blues and Percussive-New Age.

Chris Barbosa is a dynamic instrumentalist from the Tampa Bay Region
who has performed in many bands, orchestras, television shows, competitions, and venues across Florida and nationally. He taught himself piano at age 10 and continued to learn the viola and violin throughout his schooling years. He eventually attended Florida State University majoring in Music Performance. Chris has a natural ability to improvise and a strong empathic power of expressing his musicality while continuing to strive further for virtuosity and depth.

J. Klein is a singer songwriter from banks of the banks of the Mississippi. Great grandson of Paul Turner and the Green Valley Ranch Hands. He has a sound steeped in blues, folk, country and rock. Cutting his teeth in dive bars from Chicago to Memphis. He has graced the stage with acts such as Kenny Loggins, The Blue Sky Riders, Tim Reynolds, Martin Sexton, John Hiatt and many more. Klein’s soul infused vocals and clean rhythm guitar creates a melodic experience that embodies Americana.

iEzra on SHAMc Stage-Showtime approx 8:45 Nov 3 following Victoria Vox
Donation requested at door $10 to RSVP call 727-725-4018 walkups welcomeiEzra is a the project of Ezra Huleatt (Black Taxi) that see's him exploring a new musical space. His latest album---Digital Downpour---is full of songs that are both anthemic and intimate and mirror the movement of their production: sketches written in the deserts of New Mexico, fleshed out in Montauk basement sessions, and then recorded over a few months between NYC, Telluride and Tulum. The lyrics speak to the technologification of humanity, our stumble into a future of faster and better, the poetry of loss, of rage and optimism. The sound is an urban underbelly---gritty brass sections, electricity, sweeping strings---juxtaposed with a call to the wild, a whispered plea building to a disco tent revival, a mind caught between love and pain propped up on a heartbeat that refuses to go quietly.

Doors open 700pm/ Show 730pm
- the one woman bandWith a passion for songwriting, Victoria Vox began writing songs when she was ten. She furthered her music education at the Berklee College of Music, as a vocal principle with an emphasis in Songwriting. A few years after graduating, Vox took up the ukulele. Her music style shifted to chanson tinged with jazz, which, over the years, has settled in nicely with her pop songwriting flair. She loves to make an audience laugh...and cry. Her songs are genuine, sometimes quirky, spanning a wide array of emotions.
Performing as a solo artist has inspired her rhythmic ukulele playing style (creating her own back-beat). She has also perfected an old jazz-era vocal technique of the "Mouth Trumpet", under the influence of trumpet icon, Chet Baker. The Mouth-Trumpet enables her to take vocal improvisational solos without scatting or using words. Depending on the setting, she pairs the rhythmic uke and mouth trumpet with her electronic-looping skills (to create ostinato bass lines and harmonies) while creating a full sound, atypical to the stereotype of "ukulele music".
Her 10th album, Colorful Heart, is consistently eclectic, as her previous albums, however, a new sound is achieved in her songwriting. Anything is possible with a ukulele, and Victoria Vox is proof.

Doors 7pm Concert 7:30pm
$20 in advance
$25 day of

Collaborating across multiple genres ranging from Roots-Rock and Pop to Hip Hop and Electronic Dance Music, classifying Daphne Willis in musical terms is no easy task. With infectious melodies delivered with lyrical precision and honesty, the songs and performances of Daphne Willis are sincere, compelling and relevant.

Raised in Chicago, Daphne now calls Nashville, TN home and cites influences as varied as Elvis Costello and Michael Jackson, but her musical output cleverly incorporates such inspirations into a style that is refreshing and contemporary in a way that suits her songs best.
With over 1,000 shows under her belt over the past several years, Daphne has been spreading her music to passionate fans across the United States. Her infectious personality combined with her incredible talent caught the eyes and ears of Sony/ATV Music Publishing in early 2016 who quickly signed Daphne to a worldwide publishing agreement. This partnership has resulted in several of her songs being recorded by other artists and used in Commercial, Film and TV productions such as One Tree Hill, Empire and a Microsoft Ad Campaign.

Taught by Laura Kepner

Personal History writer Laura Kepner, co-author of A Brief History of Safety Harbor, Florida, will work with you on key elements of memoir writing. You don’t have to be famous to write an interesting life story! Laura will focus on how to begin, continue and finish this sometimes daunting project. She will offer insight into the vulnerability of writing honestly about your personal experiences so your fears don’t get in your way through the process.

Languid guitar chords give way to Tessmer’s gloomy assessment of his past life: “Seems like every day’s the same/ I want everything but me to change/ I don’t want to be the way I am.” Tessmer finally finished the song and achieved his sonic vision with the help of multiplatinum producer Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson). “Good So Bad” is a radical departure from the guitarist’s earliest recordingsbonedry live performances showcasing the sixstring wizardry that first earned him attention when he crashlanded in Austin 15 years ago. Tessmer still flexes his furious fretwork on “Good So Bad,” but the song’s slinky hooks come from a different instrument: his voice. “Sean got the best vocal performances because he was like, ‘Don’t do anything to your voice; just relax and sing the song,” Tessmer says. The starkly confessional tone of “Good So Bad” also shows how far he’s come as a lyricist. “It got me thinking about being the elephant in the room,” Tessmer says. “Oh gosh, why am I always drunk all the time? I’m just a musician. That’s just what we do. But no, it’s not, really.” The mournful, stuckinarut Tessmer of “Good So Bad’ is far removed from the reallife Tessmer, whose sobriety lent him a newfound clarity while writing. “I wasn’t hiding behind anything.” Life hurts, sure, but sometimes it does work out as long as you’re willing to show up and put in the work to get the results. Eric Tessmer wanted to be good so bad. This is his journey.

Performance art Painter from Japan
What do you get when you mix together one large canvas, bottles of paint, music with throbbing beats, street dance, and caricature drawings?
The resulting performance defies all definitions so we have no other choice but to call it “Colorhythm”. Coming to the HYPER Theatre stage this summer, it is the brainchild of “Colorhythm Risa”, a talented Japanese artist.
Watch seemingly random lines of paint take form and come to life before your very eyes on a 3 meter-long, superlarge canvas as Risa whirls around the stage, effortlessly pulling off fluid street-dance moves while painting. She’ll also be doing some caricatures while she’s at it, so raise your hand!
Colorhythm Risa began her art-dance performances in 2012 – first as part of a group then later on as a solo act. Her performances, both in name and in style, are a portmanteau of “colour” and “rhythm” and have won her accolades and even an award at a 2014 art competition. Her HYPER JAPAN Festival 2016 performances will mark her UK debut.

You know the band, you know the songs and we all know it’ll be party time when NRBQ appears on our stage - hot on the heels of the just-released Happy Talk EP.
You might think that after 50 years, a band would want to settle down and just relax. If you do, you don’t know the Q!
“NRBQ remains impressively vibrant and cheerfully committed, and indeed embody the idea that rock 'n' roll can be a fountain of youth.” —New London Day
In 2016, NRBQ’s 5-disc, 50-year retrospective High Noon landed on Top Picks lists in Rolling Stone, the New York Times, Goldmine, and more.
Fifty years of celebrating is worth celebrating! Come celebrate with us.
NRBQ is Terry Adams, Scott Ligon, Casey McDonough, and John Perrin. “NRBQ” stands for New Rhythm and Blues Quartet. The band’s music, a rollicking blend of everything from stomping rockabilly to Beatles-influenced pop to Thelonious Monk-inspired jazz.

EDIE CAREY opens for Gareth Asher
Colorado-based singer-songwriter Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, but perhaps most especially for her warm, engaging presence on – and off – stage. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Carey’s wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend.Carey has been singing at festivals, colleges, and listening rooms across the US, Canada and Europe since 1999, performing alongside Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlile, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, and Shawn Colvin. She’s also been a featured artist on PRI’s Mountain Stage. She's appeared at the country's most prestigious folk festivals including Telluride Bluegrass, Rocky Mountain Folks, Newport Folk, 30A Songwriters, and Cayamo. Her songs have been covered by Shawn Mullins and country star Chely Wright. She released her 9th album, "Paper Rings: 8 love stories," in February 2016. Her prior release, a duo lullabies project with Sarah Sample, garnered several children's music awards, including Best Children’s Album in the 2015 Independent Music Awards.
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: “Carey...found her true calling in music. Her pop-folk songs are smart tales of love, life and longing."
CREATIVE LOAFING: “Carey is a wonderfully expressive singer-songwriter who deftly balances wrenching musical vignettes with engaging stories and a friendly vibe.
