Aaron Nathans
Singer-Songwriter, Americana. electic
Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts
Online: www.wtbq.com or 93.5FM, NY   See Map
Aaron Nathans has never really written a love song.

This 2011 Kerrville New Folk finalist,a Delaware resident, will yodel about grapefruit, and chant about a heavy metal rocker at his Orthodox Jewish wedding. He rocks out about that girl who shouldn't be wearing Goth clothes anymore, and the curious alchemy that makes an Italian bakery turn out the very best bread on the planet.

Maybe that's love after all: You can hear the joy he takes in crafting a song, in the tradition of Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark and Richard Shindell. He's a polished yet unpretentious performer, with a sweet baritone voice and a signature fingerpicking style. While not exactly a humorist, Nathans inevitably makes you laugh.

He plays solo and as a duo with cellist Michael G. Ronstadt.

Jazz, Latin
The Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY   See Map
Scott Feiner’s musical story is not a common one. Not only is he an American pandeiro player, but he also introduced this Brazilian hand drum to the world of jazz in a highly personal way. In 1999, during his first trip to Brazil, Feiner discovered the pandeiro, the instrument which would become his passion and new means of musical expression. He moved to Rio de Janeiro in 2001 and after only a few years became a respected pandeirista, playing in the traditional settings of Rio. However, it is Feiner’s innovative mixture of the pandeiro with jazz which has set him apart. His first CD with his Pandeiro Jazz project, "Pandeiro Jazz" (2006, Delira Música) received international praise and his second CD, "Dois Mundos" (2008, Biscoito Fino), was nominated for a 2009 Latin Grammy Award.

The voice can remind you of Sarah McLachlan or Joni Mitchell in one moment then turn towards the grittiness of Janis Joplin or the rock power of Pat Benetar in the next. But the ability to possess all these facets in one voice makes singer Kristin Hoffmann intrinsically unique. ~ Topcoat Magazine.

Kristin has created her own unique blend of classical and contemporary music. Her "Song for the Ocean" was selected as the theme for the Green Lifestyle Film Festival. She is a featured performer at New York’s Caffe Vivaldi, is the singer for Bella Gaia, the Living Atlas multimedia immersive theatre experience, and is working with the dance group PURE, whose powerful piece Beauty Reimagined is set to her music.

Saxophonist Premik Russell Tubbs is an composer, arranger, producer and internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist who has worked with music greats including Carlos Santana, Whitney Houston, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Ravi Shankar, and others.
