Looking for a way to celebrate the blue Tsunami? Come join us at our concert tonight, with headliner, Judy Kass, and opener Nate Coffey. Judy tells me that she will be joined by a previous headliner of ours, Christine Lavin for one of her songs. Christine produced Judy's video of "Look at Us Marching Now" after hearing it on the radio. Come and enjoy the music and the comaraderie with a great group of music fans. Hope to see you there. Tickets are available at the door. Doors open at 7:00 with show starting at 7:30.

Just a little less than 2 weeks before our next concert with headliner Judy Kass and opener Nate Coffey on Saturday, Nov. 7th at 7:30. Judy hasn't played in Rochester before and I'm really excited to introduce her to you. Here is a video of her song "Saving You" from her newest album. I find her voice to have the clear tones like Joni Mitchell in her early days. What do you think?

Our next concert is coming up, with newcomer to Rochester, Judy Kass, headlining and Nate Coffey, opening, Saturday, Nov. 7 at 7:30pm. You may have heard Judy work since her albums have been played regularly on folk oriented radio. Both of her first two abums received airplay, appearing on the Folk DJ List of Top Albums and Songs charts for months after their release and on the Folk DJ List of Top albums for the years 2014 and 2016 respectively. Her most recent release, "New Skin" is also receiving very positive reviews. She is known to have a veriety of themes and cross genres a lot, including into jazz along with her accoustic folk. Here's a video of her song "Look at Us Marching" that got a lot of attention..

A beautiful, topical song for the times we are living in.

Coming up to our last concert of the season with Headliner, Sam Robbins, and opener, Maria Gillard on April 4th at 7:30. Sam has played at festivals like Falcon Ridge and Kerrville. His story telling is reminiscent of James Taylor, with a gentle vocal touch and great guitar. He's been described as an "old soul singer/songwriter". Here is Sam on "Hard to Hate".
