DESCRIPTION:
The Kennedys\, Songwriting duo
Pete and Maura Kennedy make a strong
return to the studio and stage after three years of weekly live-streamed l
ockdown-era concerts. They took the opportunity to explore classic songwri
ting in-depth\, performing over a thousand songs during the pandemic. That
vast overview strengthened and refined their own writing and laid the fou
ndation for this new collection of original\, socially-conscious songs.
\n
“After such a deep dive into American roots music\, we felt like we
had a new set of writing tools. We were ready to create this body of work\
, and there’s just SO much to write about\,” says Maura. “During our five-
year hiatus from writing and recording\, America changed in massive ways\,
divisive ways that have shaken our whole foundation. That has to be addre
ssed by creative artists\, those of us who have a voice to speak for other
s. Our love of the great things about this country\, things that are under
threat\, is the reason we decided to make “Headwinds” the title track of
the CD. Political and social headwinds are making it hard to get back “hom
e’ to our greatness as a nation. We want to push back in a positive way ag
ainst those winds.”
\n
In addition to singing and writing\, Pete and
Maura are multi-instrumentalists. The thirteen songs are cast in a soundsc
ape that draws from the classic canon of American roots\, in keeping with
the theme of getting back “home” as a nation. Acoustic and electric guitar
s\, a vintage steel guitar\, a gospel-inflected piano/organ mix\, and even
a slide ukulele all add colors to a song bag of sounds that have drawn us
together during hard times. Pete and Maura believe that those sounds stil
l have the power to pull us through again.
\n
The Kennedys began thei
r writing and touring life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’
s Blue Moon Orchestra\, developing their own sound as a frequent support a
ct on Nanci’s tours across America\, Ireland\, Scotland and England. Colla
borations with Nanci continued\, culminating in Pete and Maura producing h
er final album\, “Intersections.” Along the way\, they hosted a nationwide
radio program\, “The Dharma Cafe” on Sirius/XM\, wrote and released sixte
en CDs of original music\, and have been core artists on folk radio\, expa
nding their audience further with the inception of the AAA and Americana f
ormats.

ters that remain among the brightest stars of the singer/songwriter moveme

nique and popular performers\, back together by popular demand.
\n
CLIFF E
BERHARDT
\n
One of the most original songsmiths currently on tour
\, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent\, articulate artist whose penetrating
and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guita
r playing. Upon close listening\, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for
the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from his m
outh are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like John Hammond and
Richie Havens\, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditional an
d contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whether he’s out
on tour solo or with a small band\, Eberhardt’s guitar playing\, singing\,
and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling\, thought-filled\
, emotional roller coaster of a concert.
\n
JOHN GORKA
\n
Hailed b
y Rolling Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement
\,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s
folk scene. Originally from New Jersey\, John served an apprenticeship at
Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem\, PA\, then the Greenwich Villag
e Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville
Folk Festival\, in 1984\, he was then signed to Red House Records on whic
h he released his landmark first of 17 recordings\, I Know. Boston Globe p
enned Gorka “for the sophisticated intelligence and the provocative origin
ality of his songs.” Recent accolades include 2016’s Indie Acoustic Projec
t’s Best Singer/Songwriter CD of the Year for Before Beginning (Red House
Records). 2018 brought his latest release\, and 14th of his career\, True
In Time (Compass Records). True In Time (Compass Records).
\n
\n
On A Winter’s Night
\n
LUCY KAPLANSKY
\n
“A truly gifted performer…full of enchanting songs” (New York Times). Blen
ding country\, folk and pop styles\, Lucy has the unique ability to make e
very song sound fresh\, whether singing her own sweet originals\, covering
country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons\, or singing pop fa
vorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. Lucy’s iconic voice has been fe
atured in film and on television\, including commercials like Chevrolet’s
iconic “Heartbeat of America” jingle. A Billboard-charting singer and one
of the top-selling artists on Red House Records\, she has topped the folk
and Americana radio charts and has been featured on shows throughout the w
orld from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radio to CBS Sunday Mo
rning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers\, Lucy has sung on countl
ess records\, performing with Suzanne Vega\, Bryan Ferry\, Nanci Griffith\
, and Shawn Colvin.
\n
PATTY LARKIN
\n
She redefines the boundaries
of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromis
ing lyrics and vocals. Acoustic Guitar Magazine hails her\, “soundscape ex
periments” while Rolling Stone praises her\, “evocative and sonic shading.
” She has been described as\, “riveting” (Chicago Tribune)\, “hypnotic” (E
ntertainment Weekly)\, and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing S
ongwriter). Recently an Artist-in-Residence at Berklee College of Music –
and now on the faculty at Fine Arts Work Center – Larkin reflects\, “I hav
e been energized by the poets\, writers\, and artists I have met while tea
ching\, and find myself on a journey to break down some of the predictable
pathways that songs can travel.” Bird in a Cage\, her 14th CD now availab
le\, puts poems from ten notable poets to song\, including US Poet Laureat
es William Carlos Williams\, Stanley Kunitz\, Kay Ryan\, Robert Pinsky\, a
nd Billy Collins\, for a new and haunting collection that pulses with the
magic of lyricism. Poems are made to be shared aloud\, and with Bird\, Pat
ty takes up that tradition and sets it aglow.
\n
You’ll undoubtedly b
e warm On This Winter’s Night.

DESCRIPTION:
The Jim Kweskin Extravaganza is a live concert that wil
l honor and celebrate Jim’s legacy and his contributions to the music indu
stry over the past 60-plus years.
\n
Jim Kweskin is
the founder of the legendary 1960s Jim Kweskin Jug Band with Fritz Richmond\, G
eoff Muldaur\, Maria Muldaur\, Mel Lyman\, and Bruno Wolfe. During the fiv
e years they were together\, they successfully transformed the sounds of p
re-World War II rural music into a springboard for their good-humored perf
ormances. Their imitators were legion\, including a San Francisco jug band
that became the Grateful Dead\, a Los Angeles jug band that became the Ni
tty Gritty Dirt Band\, and a New York jug band that became the Lovin’ Spoo
nful. No other group attained their unique blend of youthful energy and an
tiquarian expertise\, tight musicianship\, loose camaraderie\, and infecti
ous swing.
\n
The concert will feature songs from Jim’s soon-to-be-re
leased recording on StorySound Records\, Never Too Late: Jim Kweskin\,
Duets with My Friends\, which will be released on Friday\, January 26
\, 2024. The show will also feature artists and songs from Jim’s storied
career\, including the renowned and influential Jim Kweskin Jug Band.
\n
Scheduled to appear along with Jim Kweskin\, are Maria Muldaur\, Geof
f Muldaur\, Samoa Wilson\, Annie Raines\, Paul Rishell\, Juli Crockett\, S
uzy Thompson\, and Matthew Berlin. Additional artists appearing will be a
nnounced soon.

DESCRIPTION:
Karla Bonoff has been described as one o
f the finest singer/songwriters of her generation. That description is not
hyperbole. Bonoff has enjoyed critical acclaim\, commercial success\, end
uring popularity\, and the unwavering respect of her peers. Karla has seen
her songs become hits for Bonnie Raitt\, Wynonna Judd\, and Linda Ronstad
t. Many of Bonoff’s ballads are classics. Karla has continued to record an
d tour extensively\, playing sold-out shows worldwide.
\n
Hearing Kar
la’s moving vocals on her rich\, expressive songs is like standing beneath
a sparkling waterfall–refreshing\, exhilarating\, and restorative. Experi
encing them live can be transformative. Fans and critics agree that Bonoff
’s songs\, as are her recordings\, are timeless. Many prefer her versions
\, live with instrumentation that is clean and spare\, giving Bonoff’s voi
ce room to work its emotional magic.
\n
“Long before Alanis and Jewel
\, there was a breed of singer/songwriters whose earthly anthems of soul-s
earching\, heartache and joy touched souls in a way few can muster today.
