 Three acoustic performers take their turn on stage in 30-minute sets, twice around.
This evening, we are pleased to present soloists: Cassandra Frake, Lisa Frieder (pictured here) and Scott Seltzer.
Cassandra has a beautiful, soothing voice and a soft touch on acoustic guitar. Hear her on lohud.com's listening room. They say she "has a voice like Jewel with a touch of Jazz."
Lisa's vocals go from soft to powerful; her lyrics are filled with angst, hope and wisdom. Her original song repertoire is seemingly endless. We love when she sings "Fire and Water"...hear it on her myspace.
Scott returns to 12 Grapes with his great voice
and solid guitar work. His voice is strong and moving.
Come join us for a relaxing evening with some of the area's best acoustic performers.

In the mid-'70s, Steve Forbert left his truck-driving days in the small town of Meridian, Mississippi, to become a folk hero in the giant metropolis of New York City. Armed with just a guitar and a harmonica, he managed to cause a stir in NYC amid the flash and clatter of the emerging New Wave. Steve Forbert is perhaps best known for the hit single - "Romeo's Tune."
Sharp 9 is a 10 to 13 piece, New York based band comprised mainly of studio musicians and touring professionals. This impressive ensemble was born when drummer Stephen McKeown, contracted a group of top performers for a corporate industrial. Our artists have appeared on Broadway, in Film, Television, and on Tour with entertainment icons : Gladys Knight, The Temptations, Eric Clapton, Chaka Khan, B.B. King, Vanessa Williams, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Moody Blues, Elvis Costello, Blondie, Oleta Adams, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis, Tony Bennett, Lionel Hampton, Lena Horn, John Faddis, The Four Tops, The Tokens, The Fifth Dimension, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Marvin Hamlisch, Andrea McArdle, The Radio City Music Hall Rockettes, and Cathy Rigby.
