Susan Werner, Vance Gilbert
Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic, and Folk/Traditional
Common Ground @ South Church
South Presbyterian Church, 343 Broadway
Dobbs Ferry, NY   See Map
Called the empress of the unexpected by NPR, singer-songwriter Susan Werner recently turned another corner in her multifaceted musical career with her vibrant 2011 album, Kicking the Beehive. It’s an 11-song collection of provocative, poignant, lyrical originals that are infused with the rustic roots of American folk, blues and country music. Produced by Rodney Crowell, recorded in Nashville and featuring such all-star guests as Vince Gill, Keb’ Mo’ and Paul Franklin, Kicking the Beehive is a personal project where Werner intuitively explores the full impact of looking beyond the superficial and delving into soulful honesty. Sharing the bill will be Boston-based folksinger Vance Gilbert. A favorite on the U.S. coffeehouse, club, and festival circuit, Vance is blessed with a far ranging, almost otherworldly tenor voice. He’s also an accomplished acoustic guitar player who incorporates elements of jazz, blues and country into his deft picking.

Hailing from NYC, Steven Wright-Mark is a Top-10 artist on Reverbnation's NY Indie charts, and has played all over the world--from Manhattan to Moscow-- including the local Pleasantville Music Festival, where he opened for Rusted Root, Carney and Jakob Dylan.

"My Plastic World" is Steven Wright-Mark's third solo CD. It has just been released on Amplifrier Music and is already getting great critical response and radio airplay. His music is often considered "Power Pop", that is, hard-edged, guitar-driven music that's chock-full of hooky melodies, lush harmonies, and clever lyrics. Although Steven plays all the instruments and sings all the vocals on his self-produced recordings, he plays guitar and keyboards live, along with his band...Ed Cusati (Guitar/Vocals), Andy Kuusisto (Bass/Vocals), and Armand Minassian (Drums).

Join us as we welcome Steven to our 12 Grapes stage, and celebrate the release of his new CD.

Both traditional and trailblazing...Highly recommended. ***Blues Review Magazine***

Baum's playing has a deep funk to it, with a big influence of Jimmy Smith. And Baum also brings in all kinds of other things as well - dissonant jazz, alternative rock, R&B. He's not too far off from what John Medeski does with Medeski, Martin and Wood, but with more of a blues streak to it. ***Jim Trageser. Escondido, Calif. ***
