Jo Carley: Lead Vocals / Washboard / Mandolin / Percussion Tim Carley: Battered Archtop Guitar / Kick / Rattlin Shoe / Backing Vocals Stephane Spitz: Baritone Saxophone / Beat-up Double Bass / Backing Vocals The music takes influence from early vaudeville blues acts such as Victoria Spivey via Cab Calloway, Wilmoth Houdini and Wanda Jackson, but adding a creepy and theatrical twist that echoes Dr John and Screamin Jay Hawkins. Voodoo has found it's way onto British shores and Jo Carley is the wild and dark demonic music-hall mistress sent to predict hell in a way to entertain and amaze you, telling tales of terror with old-timey flair.

Laura Wilkie and Ian Carr

20 Apr 2026 - 20 Apr 2026

Two leading figures in today’s contemporary traditional music world. Their performances centre around Laura’s album ‘Vent’ - a deep, immaculately researched dive into women’s work songs (Waulking songs) from the Outer Hebrides. Relishing the chance to transform this material on the concert stage, and gleefully tearing into blistering high octane original compositions, their performances fly by, such is the rich variation in tempo and mood, as they take the tunes apart, stitch them together again, teasing them into new shapes and textures with passion and humour. Laura has toured across the world in various different groups and artists within the contemporary folk music scene, including Kinnaris Quintet, guitar-virtuoso Ian Carr, Ross Ainslie, Salsa Celtica, NITEWORKS and with Scots Singers, Claire Hastings, Beth Malcolm & Siobhan Miller. As a founding member of Glasgow-based Jazz/Funk/R&B/Synth/Folk Juggernaut, Fat-Suit, Laura has been inspired to play with elements of improvisation in different styles, making her a versatile influence on each project. Collaborations include performing, writing and arranging with top bands and artists including Shooglenifty, Man of the Minch, Rachel Sermanni, The Elephant Sessions, Paul Towndrow’s Keywork Orchestra, Fatherson, GRIT Orchestra and many more. Now is the time for Laura to shine in her own right and demonstrate what a versatile, creative and adept artist she is.

Anna Anise has a radiant presence - uplifting, grounded, and utterly sincere. Her songs move between folklore and emotional candour, blending traditional folk with harmonic maturity and anthemic hooks.

Vandalia

1 Jun 2026 - 1 Jun 2026

Vandalia is dedicated to exploring the depth and breadth of American String-band music. Informed by tradition, but not chained to it, the group has found a niche inside of the old-time community as well as in the wider arts world that offers audiences a forward-looking take on traditional acoustic music. Formed from a chance encounter at the 2024 Baltimore Old-Time Festival, fiddler Dakota Karper, cellist Ellen Gira and guitarist Gabriel Furtado met in a late-night afterparty jam session. The three musicians bring something all-their-own to the trio - West-Virginian born and raised, Dakota is steeped in the West Virginia fiddling tradition as the protege of master fiddler Joe Herrmann. A seasoned veteran of the both the D.C. and Glasgow music scenes, Ellen has made a reputation herself as one of the most versatile cellists in the trad world, adding her hallmark chop to countless ensembles and recordings, and stretching the boundaries of style with elements of the Scottish, Irish, American, Scandinavian and Canadian traditions. A classical-to-bluegrass guitar crossover, Gabriel is well known for his front-of-the-beat rhythm playing and driving pocket, heard at countless square dances, bluegrass festivals and jazz clubs in the greater Philadelphia area and beyond. Together the trio creates a version of string-band music you can tap your foot to, or get lost in the details of the melodies. Weaving intricate fiddle and cello lines, gorgeous vocal harmonies, subtle guitar textures and exhilarating rhythmic drive, the pleasure these three musicians have creating and playing together is palpable, both in the studio and on the concert stage.

Seel & Sanders

11 May 2026 - 11 May 2026

The folk duo Seel & Sanders is the dynamic collaboration between the award-winning, London based singer-songwriter Alex Seel and internationally acclaimed composer and virtuoso bazouki, guitar and ukulele player, Jon Sanders. Their performances touch on influences from traditional & contemporary folk, jazz, arabic, eastern, country, blues and Americana, among others. And the songwriting topics are as equally diverse; such as inspirations from eccentric characters in ordinary life, to a metaphorical mole in the ground, to love in hard times, to gratitude and loss. Music has led Alex Seel from Devon to London to Ireland and back to London again. Through his wanderings, Alex has picked up a finely crafted, rootsy song-writing style with thought-provoking lyrics and a flare for acoustic guitar finger-picking. His influences range from blues, pop and the British Folk Revival guitarists but his sound is all his own. He has a growing reputation as a solo performer, having performed around the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany and Spain. Jon Sanders is recognised as a virtuoso bouzouki player, tenor ukulele player, drop D and DADGAD guitarist and an internationally acclaimed composer. His composition draws on elements of jazz, gypsy, funk, arabic, latino and Celtic styles, somewhat reminiscent of Sylvain Luc, Pierre Bensusan, Antonio Forcione and James Hill yet instantly different. The two met in Ireland and have found an exhilarating and dynamic combination of songs & instrumentals captivating audiences. “...Make no mistake, the audience raves about the sheer scope of musical interplay and different genres... Sanders with his jazz tinged Irish, Arabesque and world music solos, brought the sonorous experience of compositions from the British song-writer’s new album with almost unbelievable changes in tempo, accompanied masterfully by Seel’s impressive guitar... The audience loved Seel’s folk, pop and blues influenced songs and duos with Sanders”

The Collaboration Weathering The Storm was met with rapturous reviews on release. The Guardian awarded the album four stars, calling it a gem simple, modest and perfect, while Iggy Pop described it as unimaginably good on his BBC Radio 6 Music show. Jo Whiley has repeatedly championed Harrop's work on BBC Radio 2, describing her voice as 'sublime. At the heart of this partnership is a shared commitment to understatement, space and emotional truth.

Frequently praised for her warm, smoky tone and emotional honesty, Harrop has been nominated twice for Vocalist of the Year. All About Jazz noted her ability to convey a wide range of moods effortlessly and naturally. While Bebop spoken here commenting on an earlier gig at the Greenote noted Harrop's vocals ranged from raw and bluesy to velvety smooth, her phrasing imbued with both classic soul and modern nuance. Jamie McCredie Jamie McCredie is one of the UK's finest solo guitarists and busiest session musicians. He has toured and recorded extensively around the world, working with a diverse range of artists including James Morrison, Roísin Murphy, Emeli Sandé, Will Young, Joss Stone, Beverly Knight, Kid Creole, Tokio Myers, Gilbert OSullivan, Robbie Williams, K.T.

Viv & Riley

19 May 2026 - 19 May 2026

Viv & Riley's sound is old-soul roots music to its core, elegantly combining a traditional backbone with the fresh iconic melodies of future-leaning indie-folk, and the tightly wound vocal harmonies of the old-time and classic country music they came from. Although they grew up on opposite sides of the country, Riley in Seattle, Washington, and Vivian in Lexington, Virginia, the two had an instant musical connection upon meeting in 2018. The pair has been collaborating since then, honing their sound playing hundreds of shows across the US, UK, and Canada. Since 2018, theyve recorded and released multiple albums to critical acclaim from the likes of NPR Music, Rolling Stone, and No Depression, and have garnered nearly six million streams on Spotify. A bittersweet nostalgia lies at the heart of Imaginary People, the new album from Viv & Riley, released September 15, 2023 on Free Dirt Records. Over ten tracks, the pair applies an indie roots sheen to newly composed pop gems. Rooted originally in the folk tradition, the pair reframe the production into experimental territory, crafting songs that speak to finding a path forward into adulthood in an uncertain world. The album brings a reflectiveness to summertime jams that speak of uninhibited joy and creative camaraderie. Based out of Durham, North Carolina, theyve tapped into the area's eclectic and collaborative music scene, recruiting Alex Bingham of Hiss Golden Messenger to produce the album. Bingham brings a sunny, lush sound to Viv & Riley's music, moving beyond their earlier country roots and toward a layered sound and sonic experimentation. The songwriting has evolved as well, from the world-weary, stripped-down country songs theyre known for to indie songwriting at turns sweetly sad and gently sardonic. Ultimately, Imaginary People is about carrying and honoring our pasts, about letting that inform our new steps forward. This balancing act is familiar territory for Viv & Riley, who also play in The Onlies, an award winning old time stringband that Riley co-founded in Seattle at age 7. In that role, they serve as co-artistic directors of The Festival of American Fiddle Tunes. In both preserving traditional music and bringing their own original folk music to new territories and audiences, it is clear that Viv & Riley have much to do with the present and future of roots music.

The Folly Brothers

11 Apr 2026 - 11 Apr 2026

Warwickshire-based bluegrass band THE FOLLY BROTHERS began when brothers Mark and Jonny Roden started playing in pubs and clubs in and around their stomping ground, Leamington Spa. Inspired by outlaw country legends such as Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, their blend of rollicking bluegrass and introspective lyrics was a huge success in their hometown. Double bass player Wes Stanton soon joined the band and they enjoyed success as a trio, going down a storm on the festival circuit with slots at Black Deer and renowned folk venue The Green Note. In 2016 the band released their debut album, Bridge 101, named after the bridge near their father's pub where they first began playing together. A brutally honest blend of smoking hot bluegrass and Americana, the album delves into traditional outlaw country music with an unmistakably modern twang. But it's their live performance that sets this band apart from the rest. They are renowned for whipping up a frenzy at every gig they play, often moving into the crowd to play songs with the audience dancing around them. Fierce banjo chops and rapid slap-double-bass are the backdrop for Mark and Jonny's harmonies, while newest member Alfie Amadeus plays melodic solos on mandolin or dobro.

The Swaps

17 Apr 2026 - 17 Apr 2026

Finalists in the 2025 UK Blues Awards, THE SWAPS are Beth Brooks (vocals), James Knight (guitar and vocals), and Adam Phillips (guitar and vocals). They have been honing their blend of blues, soul and folk for many years in different line-ups but have recently found the real magic (and national recognition) as an acoustic trio. The Swaps build most of their music around Beth's jaw-dropping vocals (magic in that voice Blues in Britain) and the instinctive guitar interplay between James and Adam (awe-inspiring ... acoustic music at its very best Blues Matters). The dynamics and variety of textures they achieve with only two instruments and three voices is astonishing. All three are songwriters, which perhaps explains the variety and exceptional quality of their material. The Swaps host the monthly blues club at Temperance in Leamington Spa, which sells out as soon as tickets are made available. They usually headline the show, with guest sets from some of the best-known names in UK (and sometimes international) blues. This year The Swaps were nominated for five UK Blues Federation Awards, including best band and best vocalist (Beth Brooks). The Swaps have supported Erasure on a UK tour and have played with folk legend Tim Edey, Geno Washington, John Primer (Muddy Waters guitarist), Stevie Watts, Greg Coulson, Steve Walwyn (Dr. Feelgood), Jonathan Read (The Specials), Tommy Allen (Sugarbabes) and many more. The Swaps have played all over the UK including at Ronnie Scott's and the Roundhouse in London. The Swaps are played regularly on local and national radio and their new release The Swaps Live at Upton has been featured on the BBC as well as many different specialist blues radio stations. It has been called fabulous, 'superb and haunting in its beauty by Blues in Britain magazine.

Johnny Fewings (banjo/guitar), Michele Stodart (bass/acoustic guitar) and Holly Carter (pedal steel/electric guitar) share lead vocals and close harmonies, bringing Hurley's idiosyncratic songwriting to life with sensitivity, joy and affection. Holly Carter, a two-time recipient of Instrumentalist of the Year at the Americana UK Awards, is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and one of the UK's only professional female pedal steel players. Her debut full-length album Leave Your Mark is out now. Michele Stodart is a multi-award-winning singer-songwriter, producer, musical director and multi-instrumentalist, best known as bassist, vocalist and co-songwriter of double platinum selling band, The Magic Numbers, and also three critically acclaimed solo albums. Her diverse skills have led to many collaborative projects on stage and in the studio. Michele is spending this year collaborating, writing and producing new music. Johnny Fewings, the artistic director of Sweet Lucy, knew Michael Hurley personally and promoted several of his UK shows. Alongside his distinctive banjo style, Johnny weaves stories and reflections gathered especially for this project. Blues singer Geoff Muldaur has said: Johnny's soft and easy banjo picking is right up there with the late great Kate McGarriglealways a joy to play with Mr Fewings. In his later years, Michael Hurley (19412025) was based in Portland, Oregon.

Webster‘S Ragtime Trio

13 Jun 2026 - 13 Jun 2026

Webster's ragtime trio is a central Texas based throwback to a style of music that went largely unrecorded. Around the turn-of-the-century, it is said that there was lots of string bands, i.e. mandolin, banjo, guitar, bow cello, playing the popular hits of the day including classic ragtime compositions like the Maple leaf rag. Although that type of music was composed for marching bands and solo piano performance, it is hard not to notice how joyful it sounds played on acoustic stringed instruments. And they dont stop there, they more than dip their toes into ragged Texas Fiddle tunes from the 78 RPM era, even venturing across the pond to play the occasional archaic Polish mazurka, and/or striking up borderland polka Harkening back to the glory days of Tejas. Alexander Jones, Will Webster, and Westen Borghesi make up this fine trio.

An Intimate Evening With Richard Shindell

11 Nov 2026 - 11 Nov 2026

Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and emigrant, crossing thresholds, that informs his illumination of the human experience through narrative song. Shindell has inhabited a Zen Buddhist monastery, busked in the streets of Paris, opened for Joan Baez (who covered several of his songs), and collaborated with Grammy-winner Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Elvis Costello). Originally from New York, now living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, juxtapose ideas and images, inhabit characters, vividly evoking entire worlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be. Meticulously recorded over three years in New York and Buenos Aires, his most recent release, Careless, offered an ambitious, luxurious, full-length statement. Shindell immersed himself in the studio, allowing the time and latitude to explore, experiment, take risksto playas each of these eleven songs was given form and substance. While his signature acoustic guitar style is used to good effect, Careless also found Shindell plugging in more. The wider sonic and dynamic range of the electric has been a real inspiration. Rejuvenating. During the pandemic, Shindell stayed in Argentina, out on the wide open Pampa, reading, writing, taking walks, doing a little experimental recording, and tending the garden. He now returns to the road for a limited number of performances. Innovative, original and occasionally spiritual, Shindell's songs weave tales that interchangeably champion the downtrodden, exalt the disaffected or wax empathetic to those lost to society's fringes. From lighthearted ballads and adulterous love songs, to dirges and diatribes that skillfully skewer politics, prejudice, war and religion, to the comic point-of-view of a cow stuck in a barbed wire fence, he has a unique ability to morph into the soul of the many and varied personalities he casts as narrators in certain songsveritable novellas framed in haunting acoustic melodies. "Occasionally an artist has a night that makes even sceptics think, O.K., maybe he is the best. Richard Shindell achieved this." Ann Powers, NY Times

Jaimee Harris

22 Nov 2026 - 22 Nov 2026

Jaimee Harris's sophomore effort Boomerang Town marks a bold step forward for this country-folk-leaning singer-songwriter. It is an arresting, ambitious song-cycle that explores the generational arc of family, the stranglehold of addiction, and the fragile ties that bind us together as Americans. Harris began cultivating Boomerang Town in 2016, a time of great loss for many in the Americana community, with the songwriter losing several musicians close to her. A shift in the nation's political landscape had ushered in a new level of cultural polarization and for someone who grew up in a small town outside of Waco, Texas, Harris believed the values instilled by her parents were not entirely in line with how many were viewing, and vilifying, Christians. As a person in recovery, Harris has had to re-evaluate her own connection to faith and find strength in a higher power. It was from the intersection of these social, personal, and political currents that the album was born. While themes of addiction and grief permeate sections of the record, it echoes hope in the face of the darkness. Out February 17th, Boomerang Town understands that love and grief are two sides of the same coin.

Anna Pool sings Dory Previn with guest Nina Harries

21 Apr 2026 - 21 Apr 2026

“There is nowhere to turn to, but to yourself.” In this powerful show, composer and vocalist Anna Pool celebrates the life and legacy of one of the 20th century’s most distinctive, and too often overlooked, songwriters - Dory Previn. Joined by double bassist Nina Harries, Anna traces Dory’s extraordinary journey: from her early success as a lyricist writing for legends such as Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, to her evolution as a fearless solo artist whose deeply personal folk albums captivated hearts and led her to Carnegie Hall. Unflinchingly raw, by turns comic and poetic, Dory’s songs explored everything from Hollywood dreams to devastating psychosis to the fervent power of road rage. With wit, candour and compassion, Anna and Nina reimagine this remarkable catalogue, illuminating both the courage and vulnerability that defined Dory’s work. A rare opportunity to experience these songs anew, this performance brings Dory Previn’s legacy out of the shadows and into the light - vibrant, defiant, and unmistakably her own. Anna Pool is a composer and performer working across theatre, folk music and opera. She is ¼ of genre-bending folk quartet, Wise Woman playing across the UK from Celtic Connections to Aldeburgh Festival. Nina Harries is a double bassist and songwriter whose work has toured the world alongside the likes of Anoushka Shankar, Akram Khan and Katie Melua. “astonishingly gifted” - FATEA “A thing of wonder,” - Folk/Tumble

15 Jun 2026 - 15 Jun 2026

Tom Kitching and Jennifer Reid present their new show, ‘Bitter and Mild’, a tongue-in-cheek celebration of their native North West of England, through songs, stories, and a skeletal horse. Flitting between timeless rural Cheshire and ever-changing industrial Manchester, ‘Bitter and Mild’ is a fast-paced, anarchic, singalong ramble and rant through those steadfast and vital traditions upon which we lean as we seek to make sense of the bewildering changes wrought by industrialisation and modernity: singing, dancing, drinking, making giant puppets out of expired farm animals. Fiddle player and author, Tom Kitching has worked with numerous singers and bands, including Pilgrims’ Way, Gavin Davenport, Jon Loomes, Gren Bartley, Zoe Mulford, and Albireo. Rooted in archives and oral histories, Jennifer Reid‘s work braids nineteenth-century music with the present: teaching, performing, researching, sharing, advocating and supporting spaces for memory and making in the tradition.

New Roots Presents Gabriel Moreno & the Quivering Poets

3 Jun 2026 - 3 Jun 2026

Gabriel Moreno and the Quivering Poets present an exclusive night of poetical alternative folk which will include the premiering of a new unheard Leonard Cohen lyric. This song was written by Leonard Cohen in the 90's together with Anjani Thomas in Montreal. Painter Robert Montgomery bought the original manuscript from the Thomas estate and commissioned Moreno to put music to it. This will be the UK official unveiling of the track with music by Moreno and lyrics by Cohen and Thomas, a unique treat for all Cohen fans and supporters of the Gibraltarian poet and singer-songwriter. Currently based in London, Gibraltarian songwriter and poet Gabriel Moreno is an irresistibly engaging performer.

He has thrilled audiences across South America, the USA and Europe, including recent sets at UK festivals Wilderness, The Great British Folk Festival, Malmesbury Roots and Folk Festival, Costa Folk Festival, Gibraltar Music Festival, ELY folk Festival, Broadstairs Folk Festival, Rochester Sweeps Festival and Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, and has been championed by the likes of BBC 6 Music's Cerys Matthews. Moreno's unique artistic voice lies in the meeting and fusion of different identities. Born and raised in Gibraltar, bordering southern Spain and just 8 miles from Africa, he has since lived and performed across the world, absorbing influences from music, literature and art everywhere he went. He was previously the longtime curator and host of the legendary Lantern Society folk club, and in 2022 was awarded the title of Cultural Ambassador of Gibraltar.

Carter Sampson

16 Jun 2026 - 24 Jun 2026

The Oklahoma City-based artist is blessed by a musical family legacy that includes talents like Roy Orbison. Her journey as a naturally independent, free-spirited musician has seemed almost predestined at times. At age 15 she began experimenting with sound as a way to pass the time; now her creativity has matured into the dedicated and passionate performance that makes her a favorite female vocalist. I'm pretty much the same me working on the same goals maybe a little more grown up. I think I am more confident than I was when I first started playing. I've always been brave, but I'm more sure of myself now, Sampson exuded. As a relatable artist, her empowering music appeals to a wide range of folks, who are incredibly and admirably loyal to her and her work. She's the founder and director of Oklahoma City's Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, which always partners with nonprofit organizations that empower girls and women through music education. The inspiring artist also averages about 220 shows annually in areas like Oklahoma and Arkansas, as well as Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. But as the self-penned 'Queen of Oklahoma,' Sampson's red boots are happiest when they're on her home turf. I am proud to be from Oklahoma and really proud of the music that is coming out of the state right now. I wish we were more progressive in a lot of areas, but it feels like slowly change is happening. Though she travels for the love of making music, she's no stranger to awards. She was named a Top 12 Finalist in the 2012 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest and performed at Lincoln Center in New York. This year, she won first place in the general category of the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest in Wilkesboro, N.C. with her song Wild Bird, which was additionally released by Pinecastle Records. She also won fourth place in the Colorado-based Telluride Troubadour Contest at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and was a Top 10 Finalist in the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival's Songwriters Showcase in Lyons, Colo. Her third album, Good for the Meantime, was released in 2008. Then in 2011, she launched a Kickstarter project for Mockingbird Sing, in which she gave supporters rewards to help secure adequate funds within 30 days. After that huge success, she recorded a five-track acoustic EP, Thirty Three, at Treelady Studios in Pittsburgh/Turtle Creek, Penn. I feel like I am right where I am supposed to be doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing, Sampson said, reflecting on the long road that led to right now. Her fourth full-length studio album, Wilder Side, was released on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016. Like Good for the Meantime it features the heady handywork of producer/multi-instrumentalist Travis Linville, who, like Sampson, has a unique sound all his own. I loved working with Linville on Good for the Meantime; he was so laid back, encouraging and fun to be around. I'd been thinking about asking him to engineer my new project, and when I heard his last EP (Sun and Moon) I knew I wanted him to help me with it (Wilder Side). I love the dreamy feel that EP has and there's a lot of that on Wilder Side, Sampson said.

It is a fully international group comprising some of London's busiest jazz musicians in a totally unique setting: acclaimed Irish-Iranian jazz guitarist Kourosh Kanani (Ibrahim Maloof, Ali Azimi etc.) one the finest Iranian folk musicians in London, Parham Bahadoran on reeds (zurna, duduk and more) Italian-English bassist and stalwart of the London jazz scene Lorenzo Morabito (Giacomo Smith, Peter Horsfall, Mark Kavuma etc.) Londoner Robbie Ellison (Steve Fishwick, Frank Basile, Sara Dowling, Eric Alexander etc.) on drums. - Rising star Egyptian singer Amena El Adb The group explores the intersection of jazz and a bricolage of Middle Eastern musical traditions from two perspectives: that of material from the jazz canon inspired by West Asia; and that of the group's own jazz-flavoured arrangements and renditions of Arabic, Anatolian and Persian folk tunes. Maydan means town square or public meeting-place. Originating in Farsi, the word now finds usage in Arabic, Turkish, Urdu, Georgian and Ukrainian. In taking this name, the group recognises first and foremost that diverse musical traditions find commonality by their grounding in communal life and social practice, while embracing the subversive political potential of music as a collective, convivial act.

Bob Sumner

31 May 2026 - 18 Jun 2026

Singer-songwriter Bob Sumner cites the musically progressive sensibilities of his heroes when talking about the spirit of his new album, Some Place to Rest Easy. They were always creating something new, something different, he says of idols like George Jones, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. With that ideology in mind, Sumner set about creating an album that takes as much inspiration from the audio production of Randy Travis as it does the lyrical soul of Big Thiefs Adrianne Lenkera melding of eras, sounds, concepts, and stylings thats informed by the past, but never bound by it. Sumners music has always been about more than a single sound, influence, instrumental, or clever line . I always want people to feel something, Sumner explains. If I heard that this album helped somebody that was feeling down, even just by feeling some other emotion for a little while, that's the number one thing for me. Sumner has provided opening duties for the likes of Colter Wall, Willie Watson, Kelsey Waldon, Corb Lund, and J.P. Harris. In Texas, while on a support tour he was invited onstage by new friend and admirer Hayes Carll, and at a showcase in Nashville, Sumner planted his flag at the world-famous Bluebird Cafe, fulfilling a lifelong dream in the process.

Soundings Presents... Featuring Katy Pinke

23 Apr 2026 - 23 Apr 2026

Each track on Katy Pinke's Strange Behaviorher viscerally affecting big swing of a sophomore recordfeels like an act of transformation. In the Manhattan-based singer-songwriter, painter, and actor's songs, characters navigate through persistent emotional adversity, push against the limitations of their understanding, and make peace with ambiguity. Pinke outlines their trains of thought in a lithe soprano that recalls Connie Converse or Blossom Dearie, within angular songforms that bring to mind Bill Callahan and Syd Barrett's winding musical syntaxes. Her avant-rock arrangements are full of playful and unnerving complications, with contributions from multi-instrumentalist/co-producer Nico Osbourne, guitarist Will Graefe and drummer Jeremy Gustin of Star Rover, and more. Across a given song, Pinke exhaustively follows an emotional event from start to finish, moving from a modest kernel of thought to a final offering-up of the self to fate, the cosmos, or to one's own mercy (see Strange Behavior, where the band and Pinke explode in the final moments, finally acting out the behavior). Through this process, she helps her narrators work towards a clearer view of themselves, underscoring their trajectories with odd electroacoustic flourishes and full-tilt rocknroll interjections. Few songwriters reach as tirelessly and earnestly toward revelation with as much single-mindedness and generosity of spirit. -Winston Cook-Wilson, NYC, November 2024

Sevdalides: Tribute to George Zambetas

26 Jun 2026 - 26 Jun 2026

Sevdalides Music group, in collaboration with Miss Catherine Clambaneva, re back at the Green note, this time with a tribute to George Zambetas. Zambetas was a Sevdalis himself. I tend to think of him as a true, pure of heart person and musician. He never took money for his contribution in films. He only got paid through Royalties. Zambetas loved Athens, he loved Greece, he loved life. We are not trying to replicate his sound in any way as this would be impossible. This concert is a tribute from three Sevdalides to another. We commemorate the man, the musician, the kind human he was. It is therefore with pride that we present a selection of Zambetas; masterpieces. Some known, some not so much...

Since its founding in 2014, the band has appeared at most major Bluegrass, Country and Rock-A-Billy music festivals and events in Europe, and travels thousands of miles each year touring. They have been featured in the foremost trade magazines of the field, such as Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Today, and their records have received enthusiastic reviews and airplay on radio stations all over the world. Since 2019, the band is even featured in a permanent exhibit on international Bluegrass at the Bluegrass Music Hall Of Fame And Museum in Owensboro, KY! The Truffle Valley Boys' show is a real throwback to era gone by, and their music is a tribute to the genuine, raw and powerful sounds of the more obscure regional Bluegrass acts of the 1950s...full steam ahead, indeed!
