Jann Klose’s new album REVERIE is fast becoming a critical and radio favorite. The Washington Post's Alexander Remington writes, "Klose wins over the listener with his soaring voice, which may well be a staple of chamber pop for a long time to come." Now with 115+ stations playing REVERIE, including Sirius XM and the BBC, the album has become, as stated by the LA Weekly, "a minor hit."      Born in Germany, raised in South Africa and Kenya, Jann first came to the States as an exchange student landing in Cleveland, Ohio. Now living in New York City, he spends most of his time on the road. Jann has collaborated on stage with Renaissance's Annie Haslam and John Tout, plus Marty Stuart, Roger McGuinn, and Rosanne Cash. He has opened for Elliott Murphy, Strawbs, Old School Freight Train, and Rusted Root's Michael Glabicki.
Come, visit Matthews on Main for Jann's show.

The Alchemy Unit was formed in 2004 through the mind and music of Ash Umhey, a guitarist who had been playing around the Woodstock music scene since 1998. Following the embryonic debut Bird Lips, things began to take shape with the release of the Moon Strings on the Fringe album in 2006. The following year, The Alchemy Unit moved to a new studio to begin recording the next album entitled Eprouvette Ascenseur, and rehearsing for some live shows. By late 2008, the band had settled into a new lineup, equally divided between extended improvisations and structured material. Ash has also been recording and performing with Venture Lift, Les Bicyclettes Blanches, and Aria Pullman.

Peggy Atwood, Terri Massardo, and Elly Wininger were friends before they were a ‘girl group.’ They were hanging out in the same café, and when one of them was on stage, the other two would sing harmony from their seats. After realizing how good it sounded, they started getting together in each other’s homes once a week to sing, and The Cover Girlz were born. To the delight of all who knew them individually, they started playing out together. When they began to add original material to their repertoire, they became The Jesse Janes and have been riding together ever since.

The BEREZNAK BROTHERS BAND is a dynamic and genre-bridging group fronted by twin brother singer-songwriter-guitarists Michael & David Bereznak sharing lead & harmony vocals. These brothers have literally been living for music since they were six years old, and it shows! The band swings from heartland rock to raspy acoustic ballads as the Bereznaks share their stories with their audience, reminiscent of country music performers (minus the twang!). Last time the Bereznak Brothers came to our stage, they packed the cafe for a memorable show, so come see what the buzz is about!

Kevin KINNEY, a relatively new singer-songwriter with coffeehouse roots, has joined Jeffrey STORMS, a self-taught guitarist with years of experience and spanning several different genres of music. With diverse backgrounds and a shared passion, their style incorporates an addictive fusion of folk, pop and rock. Rachel Beard, a classically trained cellist, adds a round, compelling dynamic to the group.

Jenny Collins brings her textured voice and innovative songwriting to the band’s distinctly mature sound. Zachary Collins has played the guitar since he was 6 and wrote his first song at the age of 11. His influence on the band’s signature songs sets the scene for the melancholy and euphoric temperament. James White plays percussion with an inherent resonance as he travels easily between traditional drum kit to bongos and simple percussives. He lends his vocals to several songs, providing a three-part harmony of layers and texture.

SARAH BORGES & THE BROKEN SINGLES, also RED ROOSTER (CD release party)
Roots Music
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
The landscape that Sarah Borges & The Broken Singles have traversed over the past few years with her smoky, honeyed vocals and scorching guitar work is plenty varied – taking in scenes as diverse as roadhouse melancholy to unashamedly guileless romanticism, and all the way to all-out rocking punk. While Borges readily acknowledges devouring songs from recordings that were made decades before she was born, she has always offset those influences with the music of the here-and-now. Borges is "A modern-minded honky-tonker with a retro streak" (New York Times) and "a reminder of how much fun music can be" (Fresh Air, NPR).

Although RED ROOSTER's roots remain firmly planted in Americana and Alt-Country, the band has created a highly original and urban-infused sound that landed them a gig at the 2008 Newport Folk Festival. "The fact that Red Rooster has managed to capture the dichotomy of modern American roots is nothing short of astounding."-Americana UK
