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.

SATURDAY 5/18
3pm- Local Film Maker Series: Saving Hubble, Director David Gaynes
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
David Gaynes (producer/director) is a creative storyteller and emerging independent documentary filmmaker. 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. An accomplished cinematographer, David recently photographed the award-winning documentary All Me: The Life and Times of Winfred Rembert
(Vivian Ducat, director).

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

10pm- Jeneen Terrana

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

"It’s not hard to love Terrana’s music, which is folk rock-oriented with jazz and blues influences. Her style is reminiscent of Fiona Apple with a bit of Mary Chapin Carpenter, the Indigo Girls or early Ani DiFranco thrown in."
– Mark Lord, Queens Chronicle

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

9pm- Matt Wissler

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

On top of playing some of New York's coolest indie venues like the Delancey, the Silent Barn, and Goodbye Blue Monday, the perform at events supporting activist groups like SolidarityNYC and the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls.

“Toys and Tiny Instruments are insane musician magicians. They brought the energy and fun in a major way”.

“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.

SUNDAY 5/26

5pm- Moving Pictures, the screening series hosted by Sean Proper and Sadie Harrison each Sunday evening at The Way Station.

MONDAY 5/27

8pm- Thomas Simon

"Simon’s intense guitar playing highlighted his performance. His instrument had an ominous, jungle-like sound, as if a tiger would burst through the stage at any moment."

-Deli Magazine, New York City, (CMJ 2012 review)

"In just under an hour onstage he managed to evoke Bauhaus, Pink Floyd, the Church, My Bloody Valentine and Philip Glass, sometimes within seconds of each other. It’s rare that a solo performer can be this interesting to watch." - NY Music Daily

9pm- BC3 (Brad Craig Trio)

Guitarist Brad Craig started out in his early teens, playing fast, hard rock n roll at all the hot spots in his native NYC, including Max's Kansas City, CBGB and The Palladium.

WEDNESDAY 5/29
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.

reverbnation.com/bryancahall

The sisters have been singing and playing music together for as long as they can remember.

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.

10pm- Kelli Scarr

Genre: Folk / Americana

For fans of: Lucinda Williams, Jeff Buckley, Patti Smith, Neil Young, Gillian Welch

Kelli Scarr is a singer and songwriter from Folsom, California. 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.” - Daytrotter

9pm- The DeLorean Sisters

Genre: Americana 80’s Synth Pop

Ever wonder what it would sound like if Depeche Mode went back in time to 1927, hit up the nearest whiskey still and grabbed a banjo? Ever wish the Carter Family played at your prom–in 1985? Well, you’re in luck: the DeLorean Sisters reimagine synth-pop hits and keytar karaoke staples as old timey, early 20th century Americana. It’s Marty McFly with a washboard; the Dust Bowl meets the Superbowl Shuffle. You'll never hear Toto the same way again.

Time Out says Thu Mar 15 2012, "The Delorean Sisters view the ’80s through sepia-tinted glasses, covering new-wavey classics like the Eurythmics' "Here Comes the Rain Again" in a vintage-folk style, complete with banjos and earthy harmonies."

10pm- Kotorino

Genre: Parlor Rock

For fans of: Arcade Fire, DeVotchKa, Hazmat Modine

Jeff got together some friends, some family and some people he never met before to make music, music for people, new music –yet familiar. Sometimes a show may consist of the full band squeezing onto a tiny stage at the back of a bar, or maybe saw, banjo and violin for the 8th Annual Musical Saw Festival, another time it might be tuba, pump organ and vocals playing for a trapeze review. It’s always different, always interesting, always fun.

From there, twangy Americana banjos morph into something that sounds like a European waltz. Then come eerie child-like voices accompanied by what can only be a musical saw. This is all to say: Kotorino has one of the most unique and unusual sounds of any band, ever. Even in a music scene saturated with ‘chamber-pop’ bands and odd instrumentation, Kotorino stands out with its use of all variety of winds, strings, and other musical gadgetry. The music itself is omnivorous in its source material, quite pretty, and downright haunting.

On a good night, he slings his guitar over his shoulder and sings from his soul. On a bad night, he goes completely mad and babbles in gin-soaked tongues. Either way, you'll have a blast.

Fifteen years later Skye moved to New York City to pursue a Nobel Prize in Literature. Since then he has enjoyed encounters as a fiddler with people ranging from Anthony Braxton to Willie Nelson, toured on four continents, and founded the band The Hot Holy Mess. With Glorious Sunshine, Skye enters his most vulnerable territory to present a set of folks songs fracking the sub-strata of regret, betrayal, and self-doubt.

Genre: Blues, Roots

For fans of: Howling Wolf, Lightning Hopkins, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan

After dropping out of school at 15, Jake La Botz hit the road, frequenting punk rock shows, hobo camps, and libraries. He found employment as a roofer, boilermaker, graphite factory worker, and obituary writer. In the midst of this he learned how to play guitar. He played on the streets and in the juke joints of New Orleans, Chicago, and the Mississippi Delta, finding kinship with some of the last of the pre-war era bluesmen: David “Honeyboy” Edwards, “Homesick” James, and “Maxwell Street” Jimmy Davis. La Botz has become known for his "Tattoo Across America Tour," where he tours the country performing at tattoo shops and as an actor in films in which he sometimes sings his original songs: RAMBO dir. Sylvester Stallone, ANIMAL FACTORY dir. Steve Buscemi, ON THE ROAD dir. Walter Salles.

"Jake La Botz is a creator of dark poetry and haunting song, the kind of music that gets in your bones and rides you for days, a sound and vision only those who've been to the bottom and clawed their way back up can generate. His midnight gifts evoke Hank Williams and Skip James as much as Tom Waits and Dylan. Not everybody will get this music - because not everybody is ready for the truth. --Jerry Stahl (author of Permanent Midnight)

Genre: countryamericanabluegrassfolksingersongwriterblahblahblah

For fans of: Hank Williams, The Avett Brothers, Loudon Wainwright III, Elvis Costello

Lying somewhere between the honky-tonk swagger of Hank Williams, the self-effacing confessionals of Loudon Wainwright III, and the wry pop wit of Elvis Costello, Chris Q. Murphy rolls his years of experiences on stage in classical choirs, in the van with indie rock bands, and nights at old-time jams into what's quickly becoming one of the most fun ways to spend a night out in Brooklyn. Backed by the Fiendish Thingies, a rotating cast of pickers and singers in their own right, Murphy has spent the last three years making believers of non-country fans in South Brooklyn and beyond. Steel guitar, upright bass, and bluegrass harmony abound, but are mere window dressing for Murphy's impressive arsenal of pop-flavored country originals and choice standard honky-tonk and bluegrass numbers.

Upbeat, folky pop songs with world music flavors, sung by a Japanese man with a British accent.

"Kagero’s world music goulash is very tasty -- even if you don’t always know what’s you’re eating."

“Rooted in uplifting elements from eclectic origins, "Japanese Gypsy Rock" unites Kagero’s musical influences and talents into a cross-culture dance party.”

Genre: surf, soul, spy spaghetti western – instrumentals. About 70% covers, 30% originals.
For fans of: Quentin Tarantino, the 60’s-70s. TV and Movie themes

Yes, Tarantino music is its own genre. Ask the many ad execs who pick up on the latest from every Tarantino film and use it. There are great songs that have singing in them too, but we don't do those. We specialize in the great crossfade between 60's-70's Surf, Soul, Spy and Spaghetti Western that makes gangsters, samurai, failed thieves, and even basterds somehow more hip, and more appealing.
We were Ennio, Booker T, Mancini and Dick Dale fans long before we saw any Tarantino Movies, but there's something about what's moving on the film during these songs that makes them really swing.

We try to explore a variety of different styles of music. While the group is rooted in jazz, we try to stay as open minded as possible. Songs are influenced by hiphop, funk, dub reggae, Latin, world music, and anything else the band has been listening to. We pride ourselves in having our own sound but try to keep the music from being too "heady" We want it to be interesting and fresh but also listenable. Thats very important to us. To keep the music from sounding stiff, everyone tries to trust each other’s musical taste. Even though I write all of the tunes, it’s still a very open vibe on stage. No matter what song the band is playing, we’re always open to experimentation. Most of the members of the band have known each other for around 10 yrs so we've got a great vibe going.”

Ferns create spellbinding sounds to enhance your world. So you don't have to.

Whatever We Plan is the latest release from Brooklyn dream-pop band, Ferns. It’s a 90′s esque, Empire Records soundtrack filling collection of tracks that seem to speak to something inside of you. I don’t know why but, I can’t stop listening. It’s almost as if there is some sort of pull that is luring me in minute by mine, second by second. But it’s not a mystery, is it? Its not. The reason is plain and simple. It’s a good album. There are no tricks or gimmicks, it’s just a band making music without the use of smoke and mirrors. Sadly, those seem to be a rarity. Looks like Ferns now belong to that elite group

Jersey Beat review by Joe Wawrzyniakz
"Derek Reese really impresses with this lovely, lulling, and gently melodic acoustic soul album... Derek’s smooth and reassuring vocals go over well. Ditto his jaunty and easy dexterity with a guitar. Better still, Reese’s songwriting possesses a warmth, thoughtfulness, and intelligence that’s both affecting and engaging in equal measure."

8pm- Bayard Russell

Genre: Future Folk

For fans of: Elliott Smith, Damien Rice, Josh Groban, Pete Yorn, Ryan Adams

Bayard Russell is a singer-songwriter and bassist performing in the NYC area. He has a solo album “Selftitled” available on CD Baby and iTunes, about which Neufutur Magazine has said, “All that individuals need to do is stick the album in and be placed on clouds of indie rock that will float them along for the better part of an hour.”

Russell grew up in the suburbs of Indiana, influenced equally by The Beatles and Ice Cube. Classically trained in piano from age four, he discovered the guitar in high school and his passion for pop music blossomed. He moved to NYC after graduating from Dartmouth College with a major in philosophy and a minor in music. He currently writes and records out of his home studio in Manhattan.

“Russell delivers simple, catchy songs with honest lyrics straight from his broken heart. He effortlessly takes what most of us would consider as bad situations and makes light of them, and in doing so he creates a responsive bond of some sort with his listeners.” -HotIndieNews.com, August 2009

“Mr. Russell sings in a warm, intimate style that avoids in-your-face anger or a passive aggressive demand you love him as a fan. “Living at My Mom’s” laments his lack of foresight in one failed relation, and “I Will Chase You” leads him into just such another learning experience. You may not learn much from Bayard yourself, but listening to him grope his way through life is a calming experience.” – Ink9, October 2008

“Here is some deliciously sweet indie pop from NY artist Bayard Russell — think John Mayer meets The Postal Service…some very honest lyrics that make you take light of a situation that would otherwise cause you to shudder in pain.” – AudioDrums.com, July 2008

“Should stardom befall on Russell, and there’s no reason to see why it won’t, this debut is a glaring reason for him to keep the music coming from his bedroom, as well as his heart.” -Northeast Performer Magazine, June 2008

“If you like Elliott Smith (and who doesn’t?), then check out Selftitled.” -Vox, March 2008

8pm- Richard Bryant

Genre: Singer/songwriter
For fans of: Cash/Dylan/Waits/Earle/Hank

Richard Bryant drives his guitar down found highways, through lost hedges and back alleys, even straying way over in the Territory prowling for the odd chord or dying note that might give shape to some musical notion he’s taken. He found a minor sixth chord in Arkansas once, but traded it for a flat fiver on Staten Island. Prying ears might hear a Luther Perkins lick leaning into a jazz cliché, all propped up by Howlin’ Wolf’s kickstand, replete with rack harmonica chugging nervously like a Hummer waiting for a tune-up. For all that, the tunes are hummable. Bryant takes leave of the ordinary, except when the ordinary serves his purpose.

“#197 with a bullet!” according to Dave Miller’s ranking of “The Waltz of the Blue Devils” at nothingbutgoodthings.blogspot.com – top 300 songs of the 1990s – a tune Bryant created (seems like only) yesterday.

9pm- Mud, Blood, and Beer

Genre: Alt-country, Psychelic Twang
For fans of: Uncle Tupelo, Steve Earle, Calexico, Jason and the Scorchers

Mud, Blood & Beer is a New York City-based alt-country, roots-rock, twang-core band that has been kicking around since early 2007, playing various NYC venues, including the Rodeo Bar, Hill Country, the Knitting Factory, Otto’s Shrunken Head, Hank’s Saloon, The Bitter End, and the Lakeside Lounge. The band carries on the spirit of alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo, the Jayhawks, and Jason & The Nashville Scorchers.

“The band has two first-rate songwriters and brilliant lead guitarists in Jon Glover and Jess Hoeffner, who share share an edgy, restless unease. Anger, danger and black humor pervade this album. They make a good team, Glover playing menacing southwestern gothic Steve Wynn to Hoeffner’s somewhat more eclectic, straight-up rocking Dan Stuart. With layer after layer of jangle, clang and roar, guitars and vocals up front, Stephen Swalsky’s bass and Stephen Sperber’s drums up just enough to keep everything rolling, the album’s sonics are better than most vinyl records made these days. Count this as one of the best of 2013 by a mile.” (from New York Music Daily review of latest CD The Sweet Life (http://newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com/tag/mud-blood-beer-the-sweet-life-review/).

10pm- Smith and 9th Ward

Genre: New Orleans trad jazz/funk

For fans of: New Orleans music & jazz

SMITH & 9th WARD is a combo in the New Orleans, funky and soulful tradition. We channel the likes of Dr. John, James Booker, Allen Toussaint and Professor Longhair to bring you New Orleans grooves with a Brooklyn attitude. We consist of members of the OUTER BOROUGH BRASS BAND and we love playing funky NOLA tunes, traditional jazz standards and low-down blues. We’re perfect for your back room, front room, upscale party or downtown venue of any shape or size.

“Leyton-Brown’s physical stance at the keyboard comes closer to Joe Strummer than Dr. John, but she’s got skills that would make Mac Rebenack grin that trademark grin. Allison injected some old school stride into “Don’t Think Twice,” and her vocals on Crescent City classics like “Big Chief” and “Mardi Gras in New Orleans” were right on point. But it’s the little differences she brings that make her a not-so-secret weapon, like the Fender Rhodes sound she brought to the funky Scatassa original “BQEeze,” or the sizzling Clavinet vibe she conjured up toward the end of the second set that was straight out of Billy Preston’s “Outa Space.” Maybe the traditionalists might freak, but it’s a Brooklyn thing! They wouldn’t understand!” – J Hunter “Nippertown”

Genre: Folk, Rock, Blues

For fans of: John Lennon, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison

Daniel Amedee is a New Orleans musician who plays an acoustic driven style of folk rock. He’s currently recorded two albums at Radical House Studios in San Francisco, CA with producer Charles Gonzalez (Coo Coo Birds, Blank Tapes). The first, "Themes From…" was released in May 2011 worldwide through Expat Records and the second, "Climbing", will be released in the coming months. My records feature performances by percussionist Pat Spurgeon (Rogue Wave), Sylvain Carton (Beats Antique, John Vanderslice), and Charith Premawardhana (Mars Volta, Classical Revolution) as well as many other great musicians from the bay area.

Daniel Amedee is a 26-year old singer from New Orleans. He describes his music as orchestral rock but I guess you might as well say it's folk? I don’t know. En tout cas, his debut album Themes From ... is beautifully dreamy, very well produced and overall pretty enjoyable! A fitting warm summer evening soundtrack. --Hendrik Schimpler - Poule D'or

New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, right? I guess this is why the city is often referred to as the most unique in America, as Daniel Amedee is a singer songwriter who demonstrates a real knack for writing gorgeous cinematic choral pieces, like Home And Heartfelt . --James Godwin - Informal Flick-Thru

Daniel Amedee captures the soul of Cat Stevens in his incredible lyrics with a dynamic voice that can bellow low like that of Leonard Cohen or reach high like Elliot Smith. This is topped off with biting, epic music reminiscent of Arcade Fire. We are excited about the future of this talented New Orleans singer songwriter. --Jeff Libby - CEO of Expat Records
