Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members. There are no advance tickets for this event. \nLibby Koch (pronounced “coke”) is a Houston-based Americana singer-songwriter who draws from a classic blend of country\, folk and rock. She performed this summer at the Kerrville Folk Festival’s Threadgill Theater and in the Emerging Artists Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. She also was a finalist in the Wildflower! Performing Songwriter Contest and a semifinalist in the Songwriter Serenade. Libby was named Songwriter of the Year (2013) by the Houston Press and was selected for official showcases at last year’s Southwest Regional Folk Alliance (SWRFA) and this year’s Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) conferences. She cites Emmylou Harris\, Lucinda Williams\, Janis Joplin\, Patty Griffith & Dolly Parton as influences. \nEarlier this year\, the seventh generation Texan released her third full-length recording. Tennessee Colony is a collection of ten songs about family\, faith and home inspired by the small East Texas town of the same name (pop. 150)\, where Libby’s mother’s family settled in the mid-1800s and in whose red clay ground many generations of her family were laid to rest. Several of the songs are based on stories her grandparents shared with her while she was growing up. Rich Warren\, host of the nationally syndicated “Midnight Special” on WFMT in Chicago\, named the album his CD of the Week (June 21\, 2014). \nManitoba Hal\, previously scheduled\, is stuck in Canada on a visa issue\, so Libby has agreed to perform both sets tonight.

The duo co-produced Nanci’s latest CD. On their own recent release\, “Closer Than You Know\,” the songs have a quality\, inherent in Maura’s voice\, that is both soothing and urgent. As writers and producers\, the Kennedys continue to mature\, from their early style-conscious pop to today’s burnished sheen. Always tuned to their own muse\, Pete and Maura have once again come up with a unique sound that is as uplifting as it is unclassifiable.

Prices are $10 for FMSH and Cinema Arts Centre Members / $15 for Non Members. There are no advance tickets for this event. \nJesse Terry is an award-winning\, world-traveling\, guitar-playing singer/songwriter whose home base just happens to be on the road. His intimate and evocative brand of Americana has drawn favorable comparisons to Ryan Adams\, Jackson Browne\, Paul Simon and James Taylor. “Sunny naiveté meets gritty wisdom” is how Dave Dircks of LIVE @ Deepwells (formerly Acoustic Long Island) describes him. \nJesse has performed across the nation and throughout the world — from Great Britain and Greenland to the South Pacific. Along the way\, he attended the Berklee College of Music and landed a Nashville publishing deal just two months after graduating. He has been a Grand Prize winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the NSAI/CMT Song Contest\, and his songs have gained placement on the televisions shows Hart of Dixie and Roadtrip Nation. His most recent album\, Stay Here with Me\, was released in 2013. \nJesse is “a force to be reckoned with\,” says John Platt\, host of Sunday Breakfast on WFUV. “His well-crafted songs rank right up there with Ryan Adams … and other masters of alt-country.” \nKat Quinn is a New York City-based singer/songwriter who hails originally from Marblehead\, Massachusetts and writes lyrics marked by a charismatic combination of poetry and plainspoken language. She studied piano and percussion as a child\, and got her first guitar at age15. Kat began writing songs in college\, initially inspired by the heartbreak of a failed romance. From then on\, songwriting became a consistent endeavor — fueled further by the time she spent studying abroad in Chile and later travels in Ecuador. \nSadness may have lit the match\, but Kat’s upbeat personality fires her live shows\, where she accompanies herself on guitar and ukulele. Her original songs feature “lightness and depth at the same time” (Verily Magazine) reminiscent of Ingrid Michaelson with a touch of Taylor Swift. Her songs have been featured in a film soundtrack and a VoxBox ad\, and in 2013 she performed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’s Battle of the Instant Songwriters. Kat has also performed throughout the metropolitan area\, including twice at the Huntington Folk Festival. \n October’s Hard Luck Cafe series concert is a 2014 Arts Alive LI Arts Month event. A month-long celebration of the many cultural and entertainment attractions Long Island has to offer\, Arts Alive LI is presented by the Long Island Arts Alliance and Bethpage Federal Credit Union.

M2D blends elements of folk\, rock\, classical music and funk with four-part vocal harmony\, clever songwriting\, improvisational violin and cello\, and an infectious rhythm section\, At the heart of their unique marriage of musical styles lies a real-life marriage: vocalist Krista Preddice shares the microphone with her husband Jonathan\, the principal songwriter for the group – who also shines on guitar\, cello\, accordion and trumpet.

It was on his way to perform at that stage that Chapin died in a car crash on the Long Island Expressway. \nEntitled “Just Wild About Harry\,” the concert\, set to begin at 7:30 p.m.\, will include 18 Chapin songs — ranging from his hits “Cat’s In the Cradle” and “Taxi” to fan favorites like “Flowers Are Red\,” “Mr. Tanner” and “Mail Order Annie.” Artists slated to perform include Gathering Time\, Frank Walker\, Josh Joffen\, MediaCrime\, Wonderous Stories\, Grand Folk Railroad\, Rorie Kelly\, Patricia Shih\, Christine Solimeno\, the Folk Goddesses\, Friends on the Journey\, Robin Eve\, Katie Pearlman\, and Sid Cherry. Nationally touring songstress Marci Geller will pay tribute to Pete Seeger with Harry’s song about the folk legend\, “Old Folkie\,” and new to the show will be bluesy songwriter Jerry DeMeo and expatriate Long Islander Robin Greenstein. \n“It’s hard to believe that we’ve been doing this for a decade\,” said Long Island-based singer-songwriter and concert organizer Stuart Markus\, who as a high-school student was just getting to know Harry’s music beyond the hits in 1981. “Each year I think it’ll be the last\, but the enthusiasm of the players and audience persuades me to do it again.” Although the concert is free\, guests are encouraged to bring canned goods and other non-perishable food items for distribution to needy Long Islanders through Long Island Cares\, the food bank founded by Chapin that works to relieve hunger on Long Island. Over the years\, the concerts have raised more than five tons of food and several thousand dollars for the organization. \nIn some cases the performers have chosen their own Chapin songs; in others Markus suggested them\, but the performers have carte blanche with respect to interpretation. “I’ve always encouraged them to make the songs their own” Markus said. “It’s a tribute to his songwriting that so many songs can sound good in different styles.” \nAlthough Chapin died 33 years ago\, his music and efforts combating hunger have lived on\, and the concert venue has been renamed the Harry Chapin Lakeside Stage in his honor. “It’s always as if the Long Island original music community comes together to give the concert he had meant to\,” Markus said. A commemorative plaque was dedicated in his honor at the concert in 2010. \nBesides raising food for the hungry and awareness of Long Island Cares’ mission\, Markus said\, the goals of the concert are to keep Chapin’s music and legacy alive in the public eye\, and to give some of Long Island’s top musicians a chance to showcase their talents on a big stage. A CD of the 2012 show and Chapin fan items will be available at the L.I. Cares Tent. Co-promoting the show is the Folk Music Society of Huntington\, on whose board Markus serves. \nGuests should bring their own lawn chairs or picnic blankets to the park\, which is located off Merrick and Stewart Avenues in East Meadow. The event is scheduled rain or shine\, barring lightning storms.

It’s their instrumentation and introspective lyrics\, however\, that put them in a category all their own. “They are like the Everly Brothers with an attitude\,” says Mark Miller\, host of the Urban H2O concert series in Yonkers\, NY and leader of the popular alt-roots band Spuyten Duyvil. \nThe duo first met in a hospital in July of 1994. “Hey\, let’s start a band!” said Dan Rauchwerk to his new little brother\, Noah. “Waaah!” said Noah as he had just been born and wasn’t quite able to speak yet\, much less sing or play the ukulele. The brothers mutually agreed to wait a few years\, until Noah was at least potty trained\, before pursuing musical careers. \nAlthough the debate rages on as to whether or not Noah is yet potty trained\, the duo formally joined forces as The Lords of Liechtenstein in 2007. Noah and Dan have brought their unique blend of folk music to clubs and coffeehouses all over the East Coast. Their most recent album\, Girlz (With a ‘Z’) shows off the duo’s versatility in songwriting and performing\, moving effortlessly from reggae songs about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to upbeat folk songs about having one’s heart broken and torn apart by wolves.

Few contemporary songwriters coax language as deftly as Gorka. \nFor over two decades\, Gorka’s keen ear has picked up the stories of those along his path\, folding them into poetry and song. His keen perceptiveness inspires people from all over the world to share their stories. By involving those tales in his music\, he escapes the trap of introspection that hobbles less gifted singer-songwriters. \nJohn Gorka flies below the pop culture radar with an almost cult-like following that never fails to fill concerts. Speak with any of his fans and one instantly feels their enthusiasm and genuine affection. His shy\, almost self-effacing stage presence rightfully focuses attention on the songs. His versatility on guitar and piano keeps his sets musically interesting\, while his rich baritone effortlessly executes his bidding. And he’s never short of the sly comment or clever joke that invariably ignites his audience. \nWith his uncanny ability to work every nuance of language\, capturing a wide array of topics and experiences woven into memorable melodies\, John Gorka’s career continues to prosper and to garner ever-increasing attention. \n“One can get goosebumps all over.

The duo has been named the grand-prize winner in both the Billboard Magazine World Songwriting Contest and the Telluride Blues & Brews Acoustic Competition\, while its albums have charted on Americana\, roots and folk radio. \nJon Brooks is a Canadian singer-songwriter of note. A winner in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition\, a Canadian regional winner in the Mountain Stage Newsong Competition\, and a three-time Songwriter of the Year nominee in the Canadian Folk Music Awards\, Brooks writes songs “to calm those who’ve looked into\, and seen\, what is in their hearts [and] to terrify those who have not.” \nHis music is filled with grey and morally ambiguous characters living on the outskirts of approval\, but his mandate is unequivocal. Says Brooks: “I’m not interested in writing ‘happy songs’ – I’ve chosen to write healing songs and for that reason\, I’m obliged to reveal a wound or two now and then. That said\, I’m less interested in writing ‘unhappy songs’: I want to write hopeful songs\, inspiring songs and I expect I owe today’s listener some compelling argument as to why we should believe our present world can be improved\, or healed. A song’s highest aim is to invoke empathy – to offer that rare sight of ourselves in others. In this sense\, the songwriter is simply trying to ‘politicize love’\, hence my contention: today’s songwriter should be a lobbyist for compassion to be our principal representative in government office.” URL:https://fmsh.org/event/beaucoup-blue-jon-brooks-2/ CATEGORIES:1st Saturday Concerts (do not use) ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fmsh.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Brooks-BeaucoupBlue1-2014-05-03.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20140417T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20140417T223000 DTSTAMP:20260406T093248 CREATED:20201111T022614Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201123T163147Z UID:2415-1397763000-1397773800@fmsh.org SUMMARY:Mountain Maidens + Ed Ryan DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.

ZMR is the music industry organization that tracks new age\, world and instrumental music. \nArdern – who grew up in Ontario and resides in Lunenburg\, Nova Scotia – combines masterful finger-style guitar playing with melodies that conjure vivid images and then pulls it all together into a captivating sound. With influences from Celtic\, classical and jazz music\, Ardern’s guitar stylings take listeners on a spectral journey of emotions. Having grown up in the golden era of English folk music\, he learned from some of the great names of the genre.

He began playing at age 12 and learned to fingerpick in the fall of 1969 wile cutting class at the Berklee School of Music\, which he attended\, ostensibly in order to avoid the draft. After a very brief stint there\, he dropped out and later learned bottleneck and open-tuning\, and was very influenced by Ry Cooder\, Randy Newman and Little Feat. \nIn the early-mid-1970s\, Emerson recorded and toured with Richard Supa and with folk legend Eric Anderson. During that time\, he also played with a band named Topper that eventually became the Billy Joel Band. A touring clinician for the C.F. Martin Guitar Company\, Howard also teaches guitar at his Huntington Station home\, as well as to students around the world via videotaped lessons. His latest CD\, It Ain’t Necessarily So\, was released in 2012. \n Hiroya Tsukamoto is a gifted composer and guitarist from Kyoto\, Japan\, who came to the U.S. a decade ago on a scholarship to study at Boston’s Berklee College of Music and now resides in New York City.

He has released two solo albums – Heartland and Solo – and also has recorded several albums with the multicultural group Interoceanico. \nInfluenced by the South American Nueva Cancion Movement\, Tsukamoto’s impressionistic\, inventive and highly innovative musical style features interesting chord patterns\, a wide rhythmic mix\, and incorporates elements from various genres.

First-time listeners often comment\, “I can’t believe that voice came out of that body. Rorie writes catchy\, melodic rock songs that she plays with enough passion to break guitar strings and go right on playing without batting an eye. The Brooklyn-based acoustic rocker has drawn comparison to such artists as Fiona Apple\, Janis Joplin\, Alanis Morisette and Liz Phair. Like theirs\, her voice has a raw intensity to it. \nAlthough named one of LI’s “Top Ten Indie Artists You’ve Never Heard Of” by Long Island Pulse Magazine\, Rorie has been performing at clubs and festivals throughout the tri-state area for several years and is known on the NYC and LI singer-songwriter scenes.

Cole says women artists like Patty Griffin\, Aimee Mann\, Lucinda Williams and Shawn Colvin have had the biggest impact on him as a writer\, while his “heart and soul are with Mavis Staples\, Betty Lavette and Bonnie Raitt.” \nA longtime fixture on the Chicago music scene\, Cole is now based in NYC and touring extensively in support of his third solo album\, Down The Line. Recorded in Nashville\, the album’s sound is a product of the late-night jams in which he participated and his host city’s country roots. Cole was a regional finalist in the 2012 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest and a finalist in other songwriting contests\, and was selected for official showcases at both Folk Alliance Region Midwest (FARM) and Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) conferences. \nBrad was the subject of a cover feature in the August 2013 issue of Acoustic Live! in New York City and Beyond. “Some performers seem born to command a stage\,” wrote Richard Cuccaro. “Something in the stance; an easy\, relaxed\, but assured presence. We probably missed the years it took to develop that command\, but the performer’s execution gives the appearance of it always having been there. That’s how it is with singer-songwriter Brad Cole. His voice has a sharp\, unerring\, laser-like quality\, honing in on those uneasy truths most of us evade.” \nFor more information and to view performance videos\, visit www.bradcole.com. \nThe Toby Tobias Ensemble fuses elements of jazz\, roots\, world and folk music and is the brainchild of Toby Tobias\, a Northport-based musician and singer-songwriter. \nBorn and raised in Johannesburg\, South Africa\, Toby has immersed himself in all genres of American music of the last 50 years. His interest in African rhythms & world music\, coupled with his keen ear for highly intuitive arrangements\, has been the hallmark of his writing and performance styles\, and he has garnered a strong following of listeners on Long Island and beyond. \nA graduate of the prestigious Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem\, Israel\, he continues to search for material that stays as close to his musical roots as possible while at the same time reaching for new and exciting musical universes.

This [“Tip of My Tongue”] was one of those songs.” He notes that his latest album goes to places both darker and more light-hearted than his previous releases and enables him to reclaim his working-class roots\, reveal his small-town disposition\, and provide commentary on our current political climate. \n\nTony’s critically acclaimed previous release\, 2009’s Already Gone\, also garnered extensive radio airplay here and abroad\, and rose to #2 on the EuroAmericana Chart and #8 on the FAR Chart in 2010.

The duo co-produced Nanci’s latest CD. On their own recent release\, “Closer Than You Know\,” the songs have a quality\, inherent in Maura’s voice\, that is both soothing and urgent.

Always tuned to their own muse\, Pete and Maura have once again come up with a unique sound that is as uplifting as it is unclassifiable.

Note: If you require multiple ticket types (ie: 1 member + 1 non-member ticket)\, please add one type to the cart\, return to the page\, and add the second type separately.\n\nBritish singer-songwriter James Maddock has become a fixture in downtown New York’s folk and Americana scene since moving there ten years ago. Currently touring in support of his new album\, Another Life\, the raspy-voiced crooner and guitarist will be joined by keyboardist Oli Rockberger for an intimate concert on Oct. 5 at the Congregational Church of Huntington (30 Washington Drive\, off Route 25A\, Centerport) as part of the Folk Music Society of Huntington’s First Saturday Concerts series. \nAfter fronting the band Wood\, whose debut Songs from Stamford Hill was featured prominently on TV shows such as Dawson’s Creek\, Maddock moved from England to New York City. His 2009 release Sunrise On Avenue C won a New York Music Award for Best Americana Album\, while its follow-up\, Wake Up And Dream\, ranked among the top albums of 2011 in WFUV’s Listener Poll. He’s performed with Bruce Springsteen\, Willie Nile\, Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors) and David Immergluck (Counting Crows)\, with whom he also recorded an album. Maddock also sang on an album with Susan McKeown\, has appeared on CBS This Morning and The Late Show with David Letterman\, and has been an artist in residence at Rockwood Music Hall\, the Manhattan club at which he also recorded a live album. \nVin Scelsa\, host of “Idiot’s Delight” on WFUV\, says Maddock’s “heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely crafted” music “touches the soul\,” while NPR notes that “his timeless songwriting style\, which seems to draw from great songwriters of every era\, conveys quiet confidence and lovely intimacy.”\nAmerican Songwriter Magazine refers to Another Life\, independently released this summer\, as “an album that finds [Maddock] crooning an old-school folk ballad one minute and rasping his way through a rusty-edged pop tune the next.” The album’s 13 songs paint a portrait of a man reaching the midpoint of his life\, a natural progression from themes in Maddock’s earlier releases. He’s looking back on roads not taken and isn’t always sure he chose the right one.\n“Even if you’re not one of the many emphatic and diehard fans who have come to adore Maddock’s signature raspy croon and deft songwriting over the last few years\, the music [on Another Life] will sound and feel classic instantly\,” writes Alan Semerdjian\, a singer-songwriter and contributing writer for Long Island Pulse. “This is no accident. The charm of James Maddock – to somehow access all that is timeless and make immediate and lasting connections – is the product of years of honing his craft. Another Life is evidence of a master songwriter at the top of his game.” \n“Another Life” live at Rockwood Music Hall – \n\n“My Old Neighborhood” official video – \n\n“Beautiful Now” live at Rockwood Music Hall – \n\n“One On One” live session – \nhttp://www.jamesmaddock.net/news_item&NewsID=3765647613102 \n“When The Sun’s Out” live at Rockwood Music Hall – URL:https://fmsh.org/event/james-maddock-3/ CATEGORIES:1st Saturday Concerts (do not use) ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fmsh.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/JamesMaddock-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20130919T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20130919T223000 DTSTAMP:20260406T093248 CREATED:20201111T022611Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201122T175512Z UID:2393-1379619000-1379629800@fmsh.org SUMMARY:Mark Newman/Naomi Margolin & Jerry DeMeo DESCRIPTION:TICKET INFO\nTickets for this event are available at the Cinema Arts Center on the day of the performance.
