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

Sunday April 5 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm	Aimee Van Dyne Singer-Songwriter, Americana	Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts Online and on the radio, NY   See Map
	Folk-Americana singer-songwriter Aimee Van Dyne is a two-time John Lennon Songwriting Contest Finalist, a two-time International Acoustic Music Awards Runner-Up, and a Finalist in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. Her songs, distinguished by strong melodies, catchy hooks, and three-part harmonies, reflect influences such as Neil Young and Lucinda Williams, and have been praised as “songs of durable beauty and intricate craftsmanship” (Lucid Culture). Her 2022 11-song album, “Broken Love Songs,” is “loaded with powerfully sculpted lyrics and world class harmonies” (John Hammel, HomeGrownRadioNJ). Her songs have been aired on over 100 radio stations nationally and abroad, and have had the distinction of being included on the Alt-Country Chart and the FAI Folk Chart.
Sunday April 12 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm	Jeff Karoub Singer-Songwriter, Americana	Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts Online and on the radio, NY   See Map
	Jeff Karoub lives a life of words and music in Michigan, mostly in and around Detroit. The place informs and inspires him—he wrote a song about it and his family’s century-plus within it. “Made by Motown” serves as a tribute and declarative statement for his "rhythm-and-roots folk." The singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is a melding of Motown, northern Michigan and the Middle East—"roots" he brings to bear in a catalog of five albums and multiple singles that have earned him interviews and airplay on radio stations and stages around the globe.  The son of a French hornist who played for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Motown Records, Jeff mines song ideas from his family’s history and the people and places he has chronicled as a journalist. Highlights have included playing Finland's Kaustinen Folk Festival and being selected as a “folk showcase” artist at the Folk Alliance Region Midwest (FARM) conference. He also performs as part of Jeff Karoub and Garrison Corner.
Sunday April 19 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm	Linda Marks Singer-Songwriter, Americana	Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts Online and on the radio, NY   See Map
	Often compared to Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Norah Jones, Marks continues to prove why those comparisons endure. Her songwriting feels lived-in and generous, shaped by decades of experience not only as an artist, but as a community builder and heart-centered psychotherapist. That emotional fluency runs throughout her 16th studio album Queen of the Angels—it knows when to speak and when to simply sit beside you. Beyond the studio, Marks is a Voting Member of the Recording Academy, a multi-award winning singer songwriter, co-founder of artist alliance group Women In Music Gathering, leader of the International Singer-Songwriter Association Boston/Northeast Chapter, and served as Vice President of the Boston Association for Cabaret Artists or 15 years. Her life’s work—on stage and off—has been devoted to amplifying voices and fostering meaningful artistic spaces.
