Genre: Jazz/Blues/Rock

These two street rats play originals and covers of jazzy, bluesy, bopping, popping, rootsy songs with a peculiar charm all their own. Ukelele Ed plays an eclectic repertoire of covers/originals from old jazz standards like "Dinah" to Rolling Stones "Paint it Black" on the Ukelele. Po’ Boy brings a ragtime New Orleans flair to anything he touches with a style all his own and a wooden kazoo that he plays like a trumpet. They have been tickling the fancy of audiences of all ages all over the metropolitan area.
“Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Mr. Po’ Boy Reinhart, going to play some popping bopping bluesy rootsy tutti frutti groovy covers and originals for you. And this first one comes from Mr. Langston Hughes of the Harlem Renaissance. Lyrics from him, music by me it’s called the “Bound No’th Blues.”

10pm- Dogbottom Boys
Genre: Bluegrass
For fans of: Old Crow Medicine Show, Alison Krauss
Not much is known about the Dogbottom Boys. Rumor has it that the unsavory threesome washed up in Brooklyn after a string of unlikely (and somewhat illegal) circumstances involving lead singer Janky Jay, a stolen automobile, and the daughter of a prominent farmer in Sugar Grove, Kentucky. But all that’s behind us. These days, the Boys pass their days drowning their sorrows in whiskey and playing good old fashioned American music for the delight of local barmaids.

Genre: Folk, Singer/songwriter
For fans of: Nick Lowe, Leonard Cohen, Justin Townes Earle, Kris Kristofferson
This New York City veteran singer/songwriter/guitar slinger has been a mainstay on the Americana/roots-rock scene for over two decades. His latest (I am a Weed) finds him in great form on these (lucky) 13 tunes exploring the journey of life with and without love, accompanied by an able stable of well-known Big Apple players. Tops for me is his gospel-fueled offering "The Good Lord Smote My Eye."

screening followed by Q&A with the film maker
Saving Hubble, a new independent documentary film, examines NASA’s decision in 2004 to cancel the famed Hubble Space Telescope, and introduces us to the people who united to save it. Many films have been made about what Hubble teaches us about the universe. This is the first time a film about Hubble has asked “What does this machine say about us?” Saving Hubble is the story of ordinary people finding a voice, and a love letter to the machine that stands as humanity’s ambassador to the expanding universe.
BIO

His first feature, Keeper of the Kohn (2005), won Best Documentary at the Vail Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Palm Beach Film Festival.

9pm-Visit
Genre: Alt. Country
For fans of: Wilco, Drive-by Truckers, Bonnie Prince Billy
Visit is the brain-child of singer-songwriter Tyler Burba and his project to confront the existential angst of our time within the grounding harmonics of traditional country. With a growing body of musicians, the band presents shows that are more like revivals with speaking in tongues, dancing with serpents, and ecstatic yelping.
“Existential hymns? Thank God for that. This is perhaps the most subversive album this reviewer has come across for some time. Visit is essentially a vehicle for Tyler Burba, a veritable renaissance man who studied under Allen Ginsberg, who paints and writes poetry and teaches disadvantaged kids. In addition, as evidenced here, he has some terrific country chops and this album is chock full of excellent songs that sound as if they could be by Johnny Cash in his gospel period with pedal steel and banjos galore.”
— Paul Kerr, Americana UK

"A whirlwind of powerful songs and folksy playfulness”
- Bob Doda, Queens Courier

– Mark Lord, Queens Chronicle
"Her music is utterly soothing, full of the organic sounds of the northern country."
- Brett Ackerman, Beacon Pass

Genre: Americana / Country / Folk
For fans of: Guy Clark, Chris Knight, Jackson Browne, The Tallest Man On Earth, Slaid Cleaves
Taking a break from his usual duties as the lead guitarist in the country rock outfit The Newton Gang, ubiquitous sideman Matt Wissler turns his attention to a more intimate venture. Playing original tunes crafted with the same care he puts into his picking, Wissler puts his unique stamp on the folk-country tradition. Never afraid to throw in some seemingly incongruous covers ranging from The Misfits to Jackson Browne, a Wissler show stands as an expression of the wide range of music that has influenced him in his journey as a musician.
"Far from being just another jerk who learned all his pentatonic scales, this multi-instrumentalist brings tasteful country tones to a scene short on first rate pickers. A great admirer of tunesmiths like John Prine and Guy Clark, Wissler has no qualms about professing his love of "singer-songwriter" as a genre." Nick Beaudoing of The Doc Marshalls
"I’ve known Matt for a while, he’s a regular on the Brooklyn country scene and plays a mean guitar, but I’ve never heard him solo before. I have to say I was impressed – his music is delightful, his personality is charming. What’s not to love about that?" Outlaw Magazine - Shannon Brown of Trailer Radio

“It’s funky, carnivalesque and mystifyingly multistylistic – if there’s a genre this guy can’t write in, it isn’t apparent here… With a noir undercurrent matched by vividly aphoristic black humor, guitarist Fox-Rosen sings with a cool, suave, deviously jazzy vocal delivery that’s well-suited to the lyrics – think Donald Fagen’s equally gifted, more ill-at-ease bastard stepchild.”

10pm- Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak
Comic Tales’ lead singer, songwriter, and trumpeter Robert Whaley previously fronted NYC rock legends, the Niagaras. With a penchant for interpretive dancing on tabletops and hilariously satirical rants on a broken childhood, Whaley electrified national audiences with appearances on Good Morning America, the Oxygen network, and Fox. The Niagaras were a hugely popular staple of the Manhattan scene for nearly two decades, attracting celebrities, controversy, and packed houses along the way.
Seeking a return to the R&B roots that got him into music in the first place, and informed by an almost pathological aversion to anything post-1974, Whaley joined forces with talented newcomer Aaron Wyanski as pianist and arranger. Along with industry veterans Michael “Miguelito” LaMorté (Mini-King, Grupo Miguelito) on bass and longtime Niagaras drummer Dylan Wissing (Johnny Socko, Novel), the group has crafted an organic, literate, deeply-grooving collection of semi-autobiographical songs.
Written in a tiny studio bursting with 20th Century literature, and inspired by a massive collection of obscure vinyl, Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak have managed to create a sound and a show which is both timeless and cutting-edge. The sweat-drenched performances and the rapidly-disappearing ability to deeply engage and entertain a crowd really leave a lasting impression. Sounds like hype, until you experience it in person.

8pm- Bryan Cahall
Genre: Folk/singer-songwriter
For fans of: Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, Utah Phillips
Bryan Cahall is a storyteller, poet, and singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. To date, his work is minimalistic—humble tunes meant to elevate some thoughtful and agile lyricism. And with debts to Southern blues and gospel, Irish balladry, the winking pathos of the Dust Bowl-era songsters, and the folk revivalists of the 1960's, it is distinctly American. There is a rich tradition of singing poets who've seen themselves foremost as witnesses and keepers of cultural memory and who've shared their gifts of expression to inspire, to console, to remind, and to widen their circle of sympathetic fellows. Keeping with this, Bryan regards music and poetry together as a communal labor of creation, a form of leisure, and the antidote to a certain lonesomeness.

Writing and arranging original music, they blend their instruments and voices into song, making waves of sound and weaving their harmonies together with love as only sisters can.

Genre: Folk / Americana
For fans of: Lucinda Williams, Jeff Buckley, Patti Smith, Neil Young, Gillian Welch

She has spent the past decade living in Brooklyn working as a musician with such diverse acts as Moby, Moonraker, J Viewz, Salt & Samovar and Nicole Atkins while continuing to develop her own songs and compose film scores. Kelli was nominated for an Emmy Award for her work on the HBO documentary In A Dream. She has released two solo albums on the Silence Breaks label – Piece (2010) and Dangling Teeth (2012).
“Kelli has a voice that draws me closer to a song: it's too alluring to stay in the background but gentle enough that it never feels demanding...Kelli Scarr's new record, Dangling Teeth, is basically acountry record. There are still wisps of dreaminess, but she and her talented band are playing songs that sit well on my record shelf next to Neil Young's Harvest.” - Bob Boilen, NPR
“She gives you the feeling of hair blowing in the wind and a fire that will never, ever die down. She gives you the feeling of something in time suspended right where it is, as if everything exists in the most miraculous kind of a vacuum. We're here, she's with us, we're all with the ones that we love and there's no leaving here.”
