Featured Event: HAT FITZ
Hat Fitz plays heavily amplified acoustic blues, much of it in the style of blues guitarist from the 20s and 30s. Sometimes in the delicate finger-picking manner of the blues folkies sometimes flat out almost frenzied with growling vocals and driving drums/washboard. For those who have never seen Hat Fitz play, you will walk away from this gig undoubtedly satisfied. For all of you who have, you will know to book tickets asap!

Roots/alt. country duo The Yearlings combine warm boy-girl harmonies, delicate flat-picking and sparse country blues to create songs that are at once haunting and soothing. Live it's two people (a couple) on a stage surrounded by acoustic guitars, playing songs, telling stories and letting you into their world for an hour or so - a living, breathing affair of the heartstrings with inspired rhythm and traditional flattop picking cradling keen melodies.

Boston-based music group Willard Grant Conspiracy sure knows how to make a music critic's job tough. Whereas most bands can be blithely described with a few words, WGC practically requires a new genre tag. Stylistically, it's got strong folk-rock and rootsy overtones but isn't exactly Americana. Instead, WGC couches the disquieting angst of Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen in the baroque-like elegance of Belle & Sebastian at their most melancholic. Lead singer Robert Fisher's smooth, contemplative baritone has a winning straightforwardness mingled with world-weariness and suspicion. |
