SUMMARY:Bettman & Halpin + The Belle Hollows

There are no advance tickets for this event. \nThe Belle Hollows is a Nashville-based contemporary folk trio comprised of siblings Jeremy and Rachel Johnson and their friend Robert Phaneuf.  \nLaunched in early 2016\, the trio had the #2 album on the international Folk DJ chart for August 2016 and shared the month’s most-played song (“A Different Kind of Rain”)\, while several other tracks from Miller’s Creek\, its debut album\, were in the top 20. The three previously spent the better part of a decade developing a unique vocal blend featuring tight harmonies as part of the newgrass band The Barrel Jumpers.  As a reviewer for Maverick Magazine (UK) wrote\, the “tasteful acoustic” music of The Belle Hollows “ought to appeal to fans of the likes of Nickel Creek and Alison Krauss.” \nBettman & Halpin play original folk/Americana. The Colorado-based acoustic duo’s performances combine high-energy upbeat bluegrass/roots-inspired compositions\, beautiful ballads with soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics\, and groovy feel-good songs. \nTouring as a duo since 2008\, Stephanie Bettman (singer-songwriter and fiddler) and Luke Halpin (multi-instrumentalist) are known for their storytelling and playful banter between songs\, as well as for their hooky whole-hearted songwriting and instrumental prowess. Bettman & Halpin have been Falcon Ridge Folk Festival “Most Wanted” artists\, grand prize-winners in the So Cal Live Acoustic Music Competition\, and two-time featured artists at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield\, KS. Their CDs have received much radio airplay and critical acclaim.

SUMMARY:The Levins + Christine Sweeney

Says WFUV’s John Platt: “The Levins speak to our better selves with their crystalline harmonies and uplifting lyrics.” The duo had a coveted Formal Showcase at the 2016 Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) Conference and won the 2011 Connecticut Folk Festival Songwriting Contest. (www.thelevinsmusic.com) \nChristine Sweeney is a young bluesy pop musician and singer-songwriter who has been active on the Long Island music scene for a decade. With a voice as powerful as it is sweet\, she deftly handles poppy and playful without sacrificing genuine emotion. Her writing style is focused heavily on the feel of the lyrics\, but the underlying music structure reveals that she’s no stranger to complexities in harmonies as well. \nChristine cites Joni Mitchell\, Regina Spektor\, John Mayer\, Rilo Kelly and KT Tunstall among her influences. Her sometimes gritty\, occasionally sugary vocals soar over her rhythmic guitar playing. (www.christinesweeney.com)

SUMMARY:Cosy Sheridan
DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.  There are no advance tickets for this event. \nCosy Sheridan first caught the attention of national folk audiences in 1992 when she was named a winner in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition for Emerging Songwriters at the Kerrville Folk Festival in the Texas Hill Country and Telluride Troubadour as winner of the performing songwriter contest at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado. She has been on the road ever since — playing clubs\, concert halls and coffeehouses throughout the country. \nA Cosy Sheridan concert is a wide-ranging exploration: love songs for adults – and practical philosophy for a complicated world. She has written about the stock market crash of 2008 and fall-out from uranium mining in the American southwest. She has re-written Greek myths: Persephone runs away with Hades the biker. And then there are her signature parodies on aging and women. Her songs are carefully crafted – and often shorter than the average folk song. “Cosy writes intelligent and clever lyrics with stickable melodies\,” wrote Sing Out Magazine. She plays a percussive bluesy guitar style – often in open tunings and occasionally with two or more capos on the guitar. \nSheridan has released 10 CDs\, written a one-woman-show\, and her music has appeared in books and film. She has taught songwriting\, guitar and performance workshops at music camps for the past 15 years — including The Puget Sound Guitar Workshop in Washington and The Swannanoa Gathering in North Carolina  — and is the director of The Moab Folk Camp in Moab\, Utah.

SUMMARY:Aly Tadros & Steven Pelland
DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.  There are no advance tickets for this event. \nSteven Pelland\, a native of Fall River\, Massachusetts\, began his musical journey at the early age of seven\, learning accordion and organ. His father\, a professional guitarist and vocalist\, inspired him to study electric bass and voice during his teens. At 19\, Steven graduated from the Modern School of Music and began freelancing as a bassist on Boston’s jazz scene. \nDuring the past several decades\, Steven has written hundreds of songs – 12 of which appear on his recent CD\, These Days. A finger-style guitarist and vocalist\, he cites Jackson Browne\, Dougie MacLean\, James Taylor and Johannes Sebastian Bach among his influences.  A touring artist\, Steven showcased his talents during last summer’s Huntington Folk Festival and at regional conferences of Folk Alliance International.  (stevenpellandmusic.com) \nAly Tadros\, a native of Laredo\, Texas\, who now calls Brooklyn home\, is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist  (guitar\, ukulele and vilhuela). Her music fuses folk\, pop\, Mexican and Middle Eastern influences. \n“It’s not your mama’s folk music\,” Aly admits. Take the cool tone of Norah Jones\, the guttural growl of Fiona Apple\, and the unorthodox guitar work of Ani DiFranco – and you’ve got this half-Egyptian/half Texan songwriter who has performed more than 700 shows worldwide since her 2009 debut.  A finalist in the prestigious 2016 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Competition for Emerging Songwriters\, Aly also showcased her talents during this year’s Huntington Folk Festival. “Her guitar writhes the floor of the mind\, haunted by the honesty of her lyrics” (USA Today).

SUMMARY:“Joan and Joni Tribute” Allison Shapira & Kipyn Martin
DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.  There are no advance tickets for this event. \nJoan & Joni is a tribute to Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell performed by singer-songwriters Allison Shapira and Kipyn Martin. In a musical journey from the 1960s to today\, Allison and Kipyn demonstrate the effect Joan and Joni have had on their own musical development as modern musicians. Allison Shapira is a recovering opera singer who recently found her authentic voice as a folksinger and songwriter. Kipyn Martin is an award-winning Americana singer-songwriter whose roots sink into the banks of the Shenandoah River.  \nAllison and Kipyn met during the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) conference in November 2013. Both classically trained singers and up-and-coming musicians in the DC-area folk scene\, they soon realized their musical influences were similarly shaped by the folk revival music of the 1960s. Soon\, Joan & Joni was born. \nAllison and Kipyn’s power comes from their authenticity as performers; they touch people not just through their music but also through their passion and drive to inspire and connect with their audience. They perform a collection of timeless songs by Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell and reveal a few hidden gems from Joan and Joni’s long musical catalogs. By weaving Baez and Mitchell’s themes together with their own individual messages\, Allison and Kipyn place an important part of American history in a modern context.  \nAllison\, who teaches public speaking and presentation skills as a way to help others find their voice\, held a CD release party for her 2012 debut recording of original songs at Club Passim –- the famed Cambridge\, Massachusetts coffeehouse venue where Joan Baez got her start in 1958. \nDubbed “a beauty of a singer” by John Gorka\, Kipyn was honored by the Washington Area Music Association in 2015 with a WAMMIE Award for New Artist of the Year. She has also received numerous awards in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest and showcased her talents at a joint Southeast-Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Conference in 2014. \nFor more information and to listen to music and view videos\, visit www.joanandjoni.com.

SUMMARY:The Kennedys
DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.  There are no advance tickets for this event. \nThe Kennedys are a cutting-edge hip folk couple who wield plugged-in acoustic guitars. However\, local audiences  — like those across the nation and overseas — have quickly figured out that Pete and Maura Kennedy defy the stereotypical notion of folk. Over the course of more than a dozen CDs and countless touring miles since 1995\, the New York City-based husband-and-wife singer-songwriter duo has carved out its own niche in the indie music scene – somewhere between pop and acoustic rock\, not too loud but brimming with super-sized energy. With “gorgeous boy-girl harmonies and catchy tunes” (Entertainment Weekly)\, The Kennedys can always be counted on to bring an exuberant mixture of folk\, rock\, country and pop.  \nLast year\, Pete and Maura marked 20 years as both a married couple and musical duo. During that time\, they have released 15 albums – including three in 2015. They’ve spent more than two decades as touring musicians – both on their own and as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra.  The Kennedys have graced the stage at New York’s Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall; and entertained throngs of people at the Falcon Ridge\, Newport and Philadelphia Folk Festivals with their own songs and choice covers.  \n“Pete and Maura have performed for the Folk Music Society of Huntington a number of times and always draw an enthusiastic response from our audiences\,” said Michael Kornfeld\, the organization’s president. “We are delighted to welcome them back.”

SUMMARY:David Jacobs-Strain
DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.  There are no advance tickets for this event. \nDavid Jacobs-Strain is a consummate fingerstyle and slide guitarist and a song poet from Oregon who brings an old-school sensibility to a new generation of blues and roots. \nAlthough he plays in the blues tradition\, David Jacobs-Strain isn’t from it.  In his solo performances\, you’ll hear echoes of Skip James\, Charlie Patton and Tommy Johnson\, and\, perhaps\, a song by Fred McDowell or Robert Johnson.  But Jacobs-Strain is a modern roots musician\, singer and songwriter. “”I come from the language of the country blues\,” he notes\, “but it’s important not to silence other influences. \nDavid is known for his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon; his live shows move from humorous\, subversive blues to delicate balladry\, and then swing back to swampy rock and roll. It’s a range that ties him to his own generation and to guitar-slinger troubadours like Johnson and Jackson Browne. Says Jacobs-Strain: “I try to make art that you can dance to\, but I love that darker place where\, in my mind\, Skip James\, Nick Drake and\, maybe\, Elliot Smith blur together… I’m fascinated by the way that rural blues inscribes movement and transience. The music that frees a singer keeps them on the run; there’s a crossroads where a thing can be enchanting but dangerous; damaging but beautiful.” \nJacobs-Strain grew up in Eugene\, Oregon\, in a community that was centered on cultural change and environmentalism. He sees a distinct connection between the principles embodied in his upbringing and the democracy of the blues. “I’m really into handmade culture and real people making real music\,” he notes. “The voice. One guitar. Even at their simplest\, the blues have always been a vehicle for expressing your own situation – whether as an individual or a community. There’s such power in that.” \nJacobs-Strain began playing on street corners and at farmers’ markets as a teenager he bought his first guitar with the quarters he saved up. Before he dropped out of Stanford to play full-time\, he had already appeared at festivals across the country and was often billed as a blues prodigy – but he had to fight to avoid being a novelty act. “I wanted to tell new stories; it just wasn’t enough to relive the feelings in other people’s music\,” he recalls.  \nDavid Jacobs-Strain has appeared at festivals from British Columbia to Australia – including such notable ones as Bumbershoot\, Merlefest\, Philadelphia Folk Festival and Telluride Blues Festival. He’s also taught at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch and has previously performed for the Folk Music Society of Huntington’s First Saturday Concerts series.

DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.

The group’s musical repertoire features a blend of bluegrass\, country\, old-time and blues.  \nInspired by his literary and musical heroes — Emerson\, Whitman\, Doc Boggs\, Levon Helm\, Gordon Lightfoot\, Seldom Scene\, Neil Young\, Doc Watson and Jerry Garcia’s acoustic work – singer-songwriter Greg Cornell writes stories of struggle and regret ending in hope. He uses nature – especially the mountains and the sea – as settings for his tales of yearning and redemption.  Accompanying Cornell (guitar and vocals) will be Amanda Homi (harmony vocals and percussion)\, Chris Nattrass (upright bass) and Zack Bruce (mandolin and harmony vocals). (www.reverbnation.com/cornellbros)  \nDavid Moss is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and a 2011 winner of the prestigious Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Competition. \nMoss hails from Peoria\, IL and began his musical journey playing cello and singing in various formats at a very young age. After earning a degree in cello performance from the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign)\, he moved to Austin\, TX in 2007 and immersed himself in the music scene there for a number of years before relocating to New York.  \nBesides performing as a solo artist and with his twin brother\, Adam\, he continues his cello career playing and composing with The Blue Hit\, Ana Egge\, Moishe Circus and Satellite Ballet\, among others.

SUMMARY:Scott Krokoff & Robinson Treacher
DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.  There are no advance tickets for this event. \nScott Krokoff weaves elements of folk rock and country pop genres to create evocative and introspective Americana songs that are both confessional and compelling.  Influenced by his love of 1960s and 1970s music and accompanied by deft fingerpicking guitar work that combines the styles of James Taylor and Paul Simon with a slightly alt-rock edge\, his music is imbued with an energy that reflects his own desire to dream big and live life to the fullest.   \nScott began his solo career more than a decade ago after playing in a 1990s college band. He has written and recorded three albums featuring original music dedicated to his philosophy that we must all take risks in life to follow and ultimately realize our individual dreams and goals.  His most recent CD\, Realizations and Declarations\, Vol. 2\, was released this year.  Scott has played at venues throughout the New York metropolitan area and done shows as far away as Belgium. He recently performed in the 2015 Huntington Folk Festival.   \nRobinson Treacher is an engaging\, high-energy performing songwriter with a powerful voice and unique guitar stylings. Passionate\, gritty and soulful\, he has drawn comparisons to David Gray\, Richie Havens and Van Morrison. “Like a tent revival shouter rooted in gospel and blues – a mix of silk and gravel – the sound is coming from a core somewhere deep\,” wrote Richard Cuccaro in a Jan. 2015 Acoustic Live! in New York City cover story entitled Robinson Treacher – Soul Conjurer. \nNot one to be pigeonholed into one particular genre\, he takes fibers from many — from the bluesy soul of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke to the weathered back- country of The Band and Hank Williams  — and weaves them into his own distinct musical tapestry.   \nRobinson has performed at venues throughout the New York metro area and across the country\, including an appearance at the 2015 Huntington Folk Festival.  His most recent album\, Porches\, was released in 2013.

DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.  There are no advance tickets for this event. \nTwo Pennsylvania-based singer-songwriters – Michael Braunfeld and Meghan Cary – will be the featured performers during the Folk Music Society of Huntington’s monthly Hard Luck Café series at the Cinema Arts Centre (423 Park Avenue\, Huntington) on Thursday\, Dec. 17.  The 8:30 p.m. concert in the Cinema’s Sky Room will be preceded by an open mic at 7:30 p.m.  \n“Both Michael and Megan had coveted juried Quad Showcases during the recent Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) Conference and also showcased their talents during this summer’s Huntington Folk Festival\,” notes FMSH President Michael Kornfeld. “We look forward to welcoming these two gifted artists back to Huntington.” \nMichael Braunfeld is a storyteller\, whose songs capture the everyday struggles and triumphs of ordinary people. His characters – though wrapped in the particular circumstances of their own lives – have universal appeal. Michael has earned critical acclaim and industry recognition\, including a slot in the 2013 Emerging Artists Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and two Quad Showcases at Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) conferences. He was welcomed into the Writers’ Night family at Nashville’s famed The Bluebird Café in 2014.  \nBraunfeld’s dynamic guitar style\, trading off between percussive strumming and intricate finger picked melodies\, has been compared to that of John Fahey. His powerful vocals have been likened to those of Bruce Springsteen. As a songwriter\, he evokes the best of Springsteen\, Townes Van Zandt\, Steve Earle\, John Prine and his hero\, Bill Morrissey. And onstage\, Braunfeld is a commanding presence. (www.michaelbraunfeld.com) \nMeghan Cary is a singer-songwriter who didn’t intend to be a musician. But when her then-fiancé unexpectedly died years ago\, the former theater actress and successful voiceover artist picked up his guitar\, figured out how to play it\, and wrote her debut — earning her Billboard Magazine’s Critic’s Choice for Best Newcomer. “I wrote my grief into music and sang my way out of the abyss. I keep making music to help others move through loss and find joy again\,” she says.   \nA passionate smoky-voiced singer\, known for her unabashed willingness to connect with her audience\, Cary brings listeners to their feet and\, at times\, to tears with high-energy tunes\, masterful storytelling\, and deeply personal lyrics that resonate universally. After pausing to raise two children\, she returned to music a few years ago. Cary was part of last summer’s Emerging Artists Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Her multi-instrumentalist husband\, Peter Farrell\, will accompany Meghan. (www.meghancary.com)

SUMMARY:Oh Canada! – Manitoba Hal & Shawna Caspi
DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.  Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members.  There are no advance tickets for this event. \nManitoba Hal has forged an international reputation for engaging and connecting with his\naudience through songs that are mournful\, hopeful\, silly\, romantic and introspective. He proves that the uke can be small but mighty as he pulls out powerful blues riffs and melodies adding subtle important accompaniment using looping technology. \nHis strong foundation in American roots / blues music\, confident baritone voice\, and distinctive original music have made him a solid draw at festivals\, house concerts and soft seat theatres in Canada\, the United Kingdom and Australia. He has performed at the Orangeville Blues & Jazz Festival\, Kitchener Blues Festival\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\, Vancouver Island Music Festival\, New York Uke Festival\, Ukulele Festival of Great Britain and Melbourne Ukulele Festival and he has been a mainstage headliner at international ukulele festivals such as the Cairns Ukulele Festival and the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival. \nManitoba Hal Video \nWith her third album\, Apartments For Lovers\, Shawna Caspi taps right into those folk roots\, stripping away the session musicians and elaborate arrangements of her previous records in favour of a simple\, authentic sound – her solo guitar and voice. The result is a collection of songs that is close-up and honest\, showcasing her warm vocals\, classically-trained fingerstyle guitar playing\, and intimate songwriting in a genuine\, powerful way. \nOn Apartments For Lovers\, Shawna creates delicate\, quiet moments that are vulnerable and accessible even when she’s writing about someone else. Her songs are snapshots – moments that may appear small\, but which subtly carry weight and offer greater depth thanks to her well-crafted lyrics. \n“Some musicians make songwriting sound less of a craft and more of a life affirming obsession. Caspi’s compositions stand out as beautiful\, complex and intricate…” – NOW Magazine\, NXNE preview \nFor 15 years\, Shawna has been playing the guitar she bought at the Ottawa Folklore Centre\, one of Canada’s best loved music stores. This cherished instrument has accompanied her on tour through seven provinces\, where she has played festivals including the Blue Skies Music Festival\, the Summerfolk Festival\, and the Deep Roots Music Festival. It was also her constant companion as she played on the long haul trains between Montreal and Halifax and between Vancouver and Toronto as part of the VIA Rail On Board Entertainment Program. \nWhile she never had one particular musical influence growing up\, Shawna found inspiration in a wide variety of independent Canadian singer/songwriters as she played and sang her way through the folk music scene. Some of these artists are now her peers\, and she has shared the stage with several of her favourites\, including Rose Cousins\, Jon Brooks\, James Keelaghan\, Suzie Vinnick\, and Garnet Rogers. \n“Shawna Caspi has the rare gift of presence that immediately invites audience engagement\, from the first strum of her skilled guitar playing to the last exquisite note she sings”. – Andy Frank\, co-founder of Roots Music Canada \nFrom cafes\, soft-seat theatres\, living rooms\, festival stages\, and yes\, even trains\, Shawna is making her living singing her stories across Canada. She loves the landscapes of her home country and while weaving them into her songs\, she has also been portraying them on canvases. Shawna paints one-of-a-kind works of art inspired by the rich scenery she sees in her travels and makes them available for sale with her merchandise. Two of those paintings make up the front and back cover artwork for Apartments For Lovers. \nShawna’s Canadian folk roots are an intrinsic part of who she is. In fact\, Shawna as a solo musician is exactly who she is as a person – warm\, inviting\, a storyteller\, a traveller\, a Canadian\, an authentic artist. “And at the heart of everything”\, she says\, “I’m just a really big music fan”. \nShawna Caspi Video

There are no advance tickets for this event. \nAnnika Bennett is an award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.  Although she’s only 17\, Annika’s songs reflect a level of craftsmanship and her lyrics a depth of wisdom that belie her youth. They are definitely not about teenage angst. She has written scores of songs and performed extensively throughout the New York metropolitan area. \nLast year\, Annika received ASCAP’s prestigious Robert Allen Award for Excellence in Songwriting and was the Audience Choice winner of WNYC Radio’s Battle of the Boroughs (Queens) competition.

Often compared to timeless singers like Joan Baez\, Joni Mitchell\, and Judy Collins\, the 23-year-old is unlike any young female singer of her generation. \nOver the past year\, Kirsten has quickly made a name for herself on the Long Island music scene. Now venturing out into New England\, she won a songwriting contest sponsored by the Rhode Island Songwriters Association (RISA) — taking the prize with two original songs off of her debut album\, Crimson. \nKirsten began singing and performing at age 5 as part of the Amato Opera Children’s Chorus. She continued classical vocal studies at The Crane School of Music\, where she developed captivating control over an otherwise naturally passionate voice. Kirsten graduated from SUNY Geneseo last year with a BA in Creative Writing\, which enhanced her innate songwriting abilities.
