Big Picture Music
with Bar Scott, Peter Schoenberger
Acoustic
Creekside Cultural Center
124 Penn Street
Lenhartsville, PA   See Map
We are very excited about this show. We've been invited by the Creekside Cultural Center to do an educational/musical afternoon for their community. Many of you have seen my shows when we have shown some of my husband Peter's spectacular bird photography while I play piano and sing. It's an inspiring experience. The birds are so beautiful and there's something about their fragility and the opportunity to just look at them while music plays. The presentation on October 18th will include a concert by me, Peter's photos and discussion/Q&A with Peter about his beloved birds. It's a particularly wonderful place to present this program again because nearby Hawk Mountain hosts one of the finest areas in the country to observe hawks.

Tickets are only $5 each, $3 for members, and we'll be in an old barn - perfect for this kind of program. Hope you can join us.

With a whirlwind of instrumental style & repertoire fusing classical, rock, blues, jazz and bluegrass ~ as well as the quintessential California musical genre, surf music ~ the California Guitar Trio's stunning virtuosity and sly sense of humor have earned them the title "the world's greatest acoustic band." [-Guitar Shop Magazine] Worldwide, wildly enthusiastic crowds have responded to their mind-blowing musicianship and unabashed emphasis on good fun with standing ovations. A list of the trio's personnel makes the source of their dynamic mix no wonder: Bert Lams (Belgium), a classically trained graduate of the Royal Conservatory in Brussels; Paul Richards (USA), the resident rocker and guitar effects aficionado; and Hideyo Moriya (Japan), surf guitar specialist. Acoustic Guitar Magazine says "The CGT will knock your socks off. The tight ensemble creates sounds that range from raindrop pointillism to a three-ton harpsichord gone berserk!"

Each song tells a story, and brings us to places across the country in his own endearing, Americana style. His songs have received some acclaim over the years. Steve is a 2003 Kerrville New Folk finalist and in 2005 his song "This Old Town" received honorable mention from the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival. He has showcased at Northeast Regional Folk Alliance in New York, and "It Is What It Is" was #12 on the folk D.J. charts in 2007.

Whether he's singing pull-at-your-heartstrings tunes like "It's Always Texas" or economic-comic-relief songs like "The Wall Street Fat Cat Tax Payer Bailout Blues", Steve Chizmadia is a songwriter not to be missed.

Now she has written a brilliant book about creating stories and memoirs, that is also a kind of memoir, rich with stories that made me sigh, laugh, wince with recognition, and actually even want to write. It is beautiful, charming, funny, painful, and will be of indescribable value and inspiration to anyone who wants to write anything." —ANNE LAMOTT

Hastings-on-Hudson, NY   See Map
Diana Jones channels the "flavour of a bygone era" (The Guardian UK). Combining high lonesome singing, traditional strains of mountain and old-time music, and a highly literate lyrical sensibility, Jones has written a collection of songs which Uncut magazine says "sound like they've spent a couple of generations being marinated on an Appalachian mountain porch."

“Better Times Will Come,” the follow up to her critically acclaimed 2006 recording, 'My Remembrance Of You,' has already drawn diverse praise and recognition ranging from raves in the UK press to the New York Times and a connection with Joan Baez, who recently covered "Henry Russell's Last Words" on the Grammy-nominated 'Day After Tomorrow'.

SLOAN WAINWRIGHT BAND, with special guest LUCY WAINWRIGHT ROCHE
Singer-Songwriter, Rock (modern)
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
An outstanding and highly original singer, Sloan Wainwright is a compelling performer best known for her rich contralto voice, intensely personal lyrics, and an innovative approach to song. Hard to categorize, her musical style melds the best of pop, folk, jazz, and blues to create a soulful hybrid. Born into a highly acclaimed musical family (youngest sister to Loudon Wainwright, auntie to Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright) Sloan's teenage years were largely influenced by a constant flow of diverse artists, writers and musicians. She learned to play the piano and watched her brother Loudon, 11 years older – and the father of Rufus and Martha – become successful. Writing and performing, throughout the Greenwich Village hipster scene, Sloan developed her own unique style.

"Ms. Wainwright has a powerful, earth mother voice that she pours into unexpectedly sensitive blends of folk, jazz, blues and funk." -Footlights, The New York Times
