ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULE
Jul 30, 2010 MARK ERELLI * SEVEN CURSES * JEFFREY FOUCAULT
8:00 p.m.

Two nights, two chairs and a dozen songs. On Seven Curses, songwriters Mark Erelli and Jeffrey Foucault match an elemental approach with elemental subjects: love and death. The result is by turns rollicking and chilling, raw and poignant, a timeless interpretation of a classic American genre.

Mark Erelli and Jeffrey Foucault are critically acclaimed veterans of the Americana circuit, each having made a series of well-received solo albums. To support Seven Curses, the pair will team up for a short run of summer concert dates in the Northeast. Fans can expect the two to share the stage for the entire show, switching instruments and lead vocals on material from Seven Curses, as well as additional covers and selections from their own catalogues.

Aug 13, 2010 Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion
8:00 p.m.

"Authentic." "Timeless." "Harmonious." "Exhilarating." Any or all of these adjectives could describe the folk-rock sound created by Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion (eye-ree-un). The musical richness and psychological depth of their initial collaboration, the fittingly titled Exploration, is irrefutable proof that the disarming granddaughter of Woody/daughter of Arlo and the prodigious South Carolinian quite naturally bring out the best in each other.

8:00 p.m.

Tret Fure continues to turn out marvelous albums, her latest being "True Compass" (Tomboy Girl). Who else could have written a love song such as "Look What Love Has Given Me"? It's a song that is at once personal and universal in its affectionate expression of happiness. Fure keeps it coming in the jazzy flourishes of the title track, the acoustic twang of "Six Beers," the heartache of "32 Years," the political voice of " Try" and the rhythmic "Leap of Faith."

He has toured-some might say, perpetually-with such major artists as Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett, Fleetwood Mac, and Jethro Tull. He has recorded thirteen albums, and there are with three retrospectives as well. He currently maintains a performing schedule of more than a hundred shows a year, which include club, theater, college, and full symphony repertoire. Describing himself as a pop singer, Livingston also includes his guitar, and piano in his performances. The piano has supplanted the five-string banjo as the difficulties of air travel have forced him to leave it at home. He says it is a nice idea to be able to sit down to play as one grows older.

Though his iconic guise of white fedora, jacket and sunglasses has been thoroughly satirized (anybody remember the “Leon Redbone workout” Far Side cartoon?), it's easy to overlook what a genuinely gifted artist he remains -- a role he inevitably tries to downplay. At the core of his initial calling was the desire to simply honor songs from the past -- a waltz with bygone days that established him as sole curator of the museum of 20th century music. Over the course of his 30+ year, 15+ album career, the bard has continued his love affair with tunes from the turn-of-the-century (as in the second-to-last century), flapper-era radio ditties, Depression-spawned ragtime and World War II folk-jazz
