Back to the top	Carrie Elkin Saturday 4 October 2008 7:00 PM A troubadour in the most classic fashion, Elkin has ridden a Gypsy breeze of serendipity for the last ten years, landing for a time in Cleveland, Athens, Taos, Steamboat Springs, Colorado Springs and Boston, finally coming to settle in Austin, TX in the summer of 2007. "What a wonderful album this is. I’m thinking Patti Griffin, Nanci Griffith and Iris DeMent. It’s spellbinding, from the opening track to ‘Gospel Song’ at the end, this is a real treat! ‘Questions about Angels’ made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end."

Back to the top	Stryngs Saturday 18 October 2008 7:00 PM "The centrepiece of every Stryngs song is the vocal, and here we have the most unique aspect of the band. The vocalist and lyricist (whose name is Strings. Note the subtly different spelling) writes the sort of lyrics that shouldn't be singable. There are too many syllables, the lines don't obey any regular meter and there are far too many long words. Half the songs read like prose on the page, and yet when you hear Strings' soft, intimate, chocolate delivery it all makes sense." "What makes this album so good is the marriage between music and words, between lyrics, melody and harmony. This is the sign of songwriters and musicians at the top of their game ..."

Back to the top	Fran Snyder Saturday 25 October 2008 7:00 PM "Once in a while you discover an artist whose music connects with you in a lasting way. Fran Snyder's music is like a phone call from a far away friend - warming, fun, enlightening, and refreshing. It's like the way you feel when you reconnect with someone you didn't even know you missed." Flyer Tickets: $15 / $20 at the door Buy Tickets More information at: www.fransnyder.com
Back to the top	Scott Beck Saturday 29 November 2008 7:00 PM "One of Sedona, Arizona’s natural wonders – singer, songwriter and recording artist Scott Beck – has been performing in house concerts, for spiritual conferences and workshops, and for New Thought church services throughout the southwest for the past five years. The combination of his sweet, soothing vocals, melodic guitar, and thought-provoking lyrics resonate deeply within the heart and soul of his listeners, sometimes caressing them gently to comfort and heal, and other times lifting their vibration to a higher level with inspiring and empowering messages."

Back to the top	Hans York Saturday 24 January 2009 7:00 PM Award winning Singer Songwriter Hans York has quickly made himself a name as an extraordinary DADGAD player and strong, engaging performer with a distinctive style and an irrepressibly delightful and approachable manner. His intimate and distinctive voice draws comparisons to Paul Simon, Kenny Rankin or Michael Franks and captures the audience with its honesty and clearness. "Hans York is a man of vast musical talents and one of the best songwriters around."

Back to the top	Jakob Martin Saturday 28 February 2009 7:00 PM If you enjoy thoughtless pop music, Jakob Martin is not for you. Currently one of the fastest growing underground artists on the West Coast, Martin is best known for his raw musical style and lyrical mastery. Martin engages audiences with music, poetry, humor, and personal stories from his two years touring the United States, where he has performed over 500 concerts. In a time of dramatic change in the world, Jakob Martin’s work is relevant, stimulating, edgy, witty, and emotionally stirring, and is unlike anything you will get anywhere else. "Like Bob Dylan, Jakob Martin is a heritage artist who skillfully inhabits both the musical and literary worlds..." Simeon Flick, The Troubadour.
