Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter | Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY See Map |
| With a solid consort of personal angst and melancholia, paired with subtle dialogues among unlikely lovers, Shane Loverro is indubitably headed for an adventurous career. Prolific in his own encapsulated nature, he finds his muse, tucks himself away, and then he does what he knows best. He writes. His record, Never This Far Down, which was recorded in SoHo and Brewster, NY was completed in April of 2012, just in time for his 24th birthday. The record displays the range of his many influences as well as the magnitude of his apparent originality. The songs are extremely personal yet applicable to anyone who simply takes the time to listen to them and absorb their brilliance. Rendering words of solitude, beauty of the past, the present, and the future. Lending one’s ears to the record is more like reading the diary of a madman |

She writes about life's lessons, dreams and stories. Her songs have been covered as far away as Ireland, where a band is currently performing one of her songs about an Irish woman who decided at age 106 that she wanted to get married!

As a guitarist in the musicals Hair and Godspell, he met and inspired
the now world-famous keyboard player, Paul Shaffer, who became Tisziji’s primary accompanist
from 1970 to 1972,and recalls: “Tisziji’s music is of a unique, other-worldly nature…I have [since] played with all
the great guitar players, from Eric Clapton to Van Halen to Santana to Jeff Beck, and nobody
plays guitar the way Tisziji Munoz does. He is very spiritual, and as a guitar player he swings
wild.” John Medeski, of the genre-defying trio Medeski Martin & Wood, has garnered fans across the
musical spectrum. Medeski’s recording credits include John Zorn, Iggy Pop, T Bone
Burnett, Ray Lamontagne, Dan The Automator and k.d. Lang. Medeski has produced The Dirty
Dozen Brass Band, pedal steel guitar group The Campbell Brothers, and two records from The
Wood Brothers.
