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 6 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm	Avalanche At Dawn Singer-Songwriter, Americana	Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts Online and on the radio, NY   See Map
	Avalanche at Dawn performs as a duo and records as a band. The duo is Paul Gross and Diane Guernsey. We're married to one another. The two of us live in New Rochelle, NY, just north of New York City, and we perform in this area. We play original songs written by Paul, with rock, folk, country and Great American Songbook influences. We both sing. Paul plays guitar and harmonica. Diane, a classically trained pianist, plays keyboard and arranges the vocal harmonies that are a vital part of our sound. We’ve been singing together since we met. Back then, Paul had just given up a career as an impoverished songwriter to return to school and eventually become a doctor. Diane had recently given up a career as an impoverished musician to accept a job in magazine publishing. Eventually, we both returned to music. Diane teaches piano and does vocal coaching at Manhattanville University, and Paul resumed songwriting with the creation of our band.
