Already being hailed as the next Woody Guthrie\, Crys Matthews is
among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-m
akers. A powerful lyricist whose songs of compassionate dissent reflect he
r lived experience as what she lightheartedly calls “the poster-child for
intersectionality\,” Justin Hiltner of Bluegrass Situation called Matthews
gift “a reminder of what beauty can occur when we bridge those divides.”<

DESCRIPTION:The Kennedys\, Songwriting duo Pete and Maura Kennedy make a st
rong return to the studio and stage after three years of weekly live-strea
med lockdown-era concerts. They took the opportunity to explore classic so

That vast overview strengthened and refined their own writing and laid th

s.\n“After such a deep dive into American roots music\, we felt like we ha
d 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-ye

ivisive ways that have shaken our whole foundation. That has to be address
ed by creative artists\, those of us who have a voice to speak for others.
Our love of the great things about this country\, things that are under t

e CD. Political and social headwinds are making it hard to get back “home’
to our greatness as a nation. We want to push back in a positive way agai
nst those winds.”\nIn addition to singing and writing\, Pete and Maura are
multi-instrumentalists. The thirteen songs are cast in a soundscape that
draws from the classic canon of American roots\, in keeping with the theme
of getting back “home” as a nation. Acoustic and electric guitars\, a vin
tage 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 still have th

DESCRIPTION:Presenting the Reunion Tour of “On A Winter’s Night” from veter
an singer-songwriters that remain among the brightest stars of the singer/
songwriter movement for the past three decades. In 1994 Christine Lavin ga
thered them together\, along with folk and Americana artists to showcase m
usic of the Winter Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD\, foll
owed by several years of touring collaborations. These artists have releas
ed dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades\, with fon
d memories of their touring days together. The winter season is again cele
brated by these unique and popular performers\, back together by popular d
emand.\nCLIFF EBERHARDT\nOne of the most original songsmiths currently on
tour\, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent\, articulate artist whose penetra
ting and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary g
uitar playing. Upon close listening\, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift
for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from h
is mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. Like John Hammond
and Richie Havens\, Eberhardt continues to carry the torch for traditiona
l and contemporary folk music through his strong live shows. Whether he’s
out on tour solo or with a small band\, Eberhardt’s guitar playing\, singi
ng\, and original folk songs and blues make for a compelling\, thought-fil
led\, emotional roller coaster of a concert.\nJOHN GORKA\nHailed by Rollin
g Stone as “the leading singer/songwriter of the New Folk movement\,” John
Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk sc
ene. Originally from New Jersey\, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey
Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem\, PA\, then the Greenwich Village Fast F
olk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Fe
stival\, in 1984\, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he rel
eased his landmark first of 17 recordings\, I Know. Boston Globe penned Go
rka “for the sophisticated intelligence and the provocative originality of
his songs.” Recent accolades include 2016’s Indie Acoustic Project’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\nOn A Winter’s Night
\nLUCY KAPLANSKY\n“A truly gifted performer…full of enchanting songs” (New
York Times). Blending country\, folk and pop styles\, Lucy has the unique
ability to make every song sound fresh\, whether singing her own sweet or
iginals\, covering country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons\,
or singing pop favorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. Lucy’s iconic
voice has been featured in film and on television\, including commercials
like Chevrolet’s iconic “Heartbeat of America” jingle. A Billboard-charti
ng singer and one of the top-selling artists on Red House Records\, she ha
s topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on show
s throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radi
o to CBS Sunday Morning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers\, Lucy
has sung on countless records\, performing with Suzanne Vega\, Bryan Ferry
\, Nanci Griffith\, and Shawn Colvin.\nPATTY LARKIN\nShe redefines the bou
ndaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and unc
ompromising lyrics and vocals. Acoustic Guitar Magazine hails her\, “sound
scape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her\, “evocative and sonic
shading.” She has been described as\, “riveting” (Chicago Tribune)\, “hypn
otic” (Entertainment Weekly)\, and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Perf
orming Songwriter). Recently an Artist-in-Residence at Berklee College of
Music – and now on the faculty at Fine Arts Work Center – Larkin reflects\
, “I have been energized by the poets\, writers\, and artists I have met w
hile teaching\, and find myself on a journey to break down some of the pre
dictable pathways that songs can travel.” Bird in a Cage\, her 14th CD now
available\, puts poems from ten notable poets to song\, including US Poet
Laureates William Carlos Williams\, Stanley Kunitz\, Kay Ryan\, Robert Pi
nsky\, and Billy Collins\, for a new and haunting collection that pulses w
ith the magic of lyricism. Poems are made to be shared aloud\, and with Bi
rd\, Patty takes up that tradition and sets it aglow.\nYou’ll undoubtedly
be warm On This Winter’s Night.\nMore Last Dance Productions events here.
