The Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts features an outstanding artist every Sunday. Unlike most sets that offer one or two songs from a particular artist, this features one artist for a complete set. This is a great way for aficionados of folk music, bluegrass, contemporary singer songwriters, etc to hear some of today's exciting artists and really get an idea of what these wonderful people are all about. It's also a great way for venues that present live music to hear some of the best "hidden" talent in the country - a potential source for potential bookings.

The Hootenanny Cafe airs every Sunday at 9PM (est) on WTBQ. You can listen on:
- WTBQ.com
- 93.5FM in upstate NY
- 98.3FM in North Jersey and NY

Monday July 20 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm	Loralyn Coles Singer-Songwriter, Folk/Traditional, and Americana	Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts Online and on the radio, NY   See Map
	Loralyn Coles has performed in the Washington, DC area since 1994, singing her own songs as well as traditional folk. Her CD, Blue Moonlight, tied with Tom Paxton for a 2008 Wammie award. One of the songs on the CD, Golden Songs, The Water Is Wide, was published in a 2002 issue of Sing Out! magazine. In March of 2026, Loralyn released the song as a lyric YouTube video. https://youtu.be/NEKAXa8re9E “Hauntingly beautiful”- Jon Stein, radio host of Hootenanny Cafe. "her drawn-out notes in, for instance, Golden Songs, The Water Is Wide, give the listener goosebumps…a Judy Collins-esque voice”- Mark S. Tucker, FAME Now, Loralyn has written a young adult fantasy novel, Dangerous Voice, to be released on 9/20/26, in which a teenage girl must learn to sing or die. The vocal lessons are real, but the teachers aren’t human. Since there are song battles between the characters, Loralyn is writing the songs mentioned in the book, as well.
Sunday July 26 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm	Nathans and Ronstadt Singer-Songwriter, Americana	Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts Online and on the radio, NY   See Map
	Cello-guitar songwriting duo Aaron Nathans & Michael G. Ronstadt never lose their capacity to surprise. This progressive folk act combines uninhibited musical creativity and mastery with accessible story songs and an oddball sense of humor. Audiences will see and hear things done with a cello they never thought possible, meandering stories as captivating as the music, and hook-filled story songs that you’ll remember long after the lights come up. Guitarist/vocalist Nathans, from the Philadelphia area, is an award-winning leader in the Philly songwriting community. Cellist/vocalist Ronstadt, nephew of Linda Ronstadt, is a Cincinnati-based cello bandleader, teacher, touring artist, and much in-demand studio sideman. They are celebrating the release of their fifth album, “Esperanza,” in 2026.
