SUMMARY:"Just Wild About Harry" Chapin Concert Set for July 16
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Robert Berkowitz/RSBImageWorks.com \nMore than three-dozen of Long Island’s top musicians and songwriters will take to the stage at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow to perform the music of Harry Chapin\, the late Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and social activist\, on Sunday\, July 16\, starting at 3:30 p.m. and extending late into the evening. The annual “Just Wild About Harry” tribute concert will feature 25 or more acts — including concert organizer Stuart Markus and his trio Gathering Time — performing some of Chapin’s classics including “Taxi” and “Cat’s in the Cradle\,” plus many lesser hits and fan favorites like “WOLD” and “Story of a Life.” The concert is free\, but concertgoers are asked to bring donations of nonperishable food to support Long Island Cares\, Inc.\, the regional food bank founded by Chapin in 1980. \nThis year’s concert takes place on the actual anniversary of Chapin’s tragic death on the Long Island Expressway in 1981 on the day he was supposed to do a show on that stage\, since renamed for him as The Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre. Several tribute show regulars were among the crowd in 1981 when what was supposed to be a joyous event turned into a vigil\, Markus said.  \nBecause this 20th-anniversary show is on a Sunday\, Markus said\, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman proposed making it an all-day event. “Each year\, the community comes together to\, in effect\, give the concert that Harry might have given\, with the participating artists putting their own interpretations on his songs. We’ve had some amazing arrangements\, from folky to country\, from torch-song style to hard rock.” There will also be food trucks and a bounce-house for kids. \n\n \n The concert will also be a benefit for Long Island Cares\, the Harry Chapin Food Bank. “The annual Harry Chapin Tribute Concert in Eisenhower Park is always a very special event for all of us at Long Island Cares because so many of Harry’s fans attend and are extremely supportive of Long Island Cares and the work we do to assist the more than 316\,000 Long Islanders struggling with domestic hunger and high food insecurity\,” said Paule Pachter\, the nonprofit organization’s chief executive officer.  \nAs in past years\, the Just Wild About Harry concert is being co-promoted by the Folk Music Society of Huntington\, of which Markus is a board member. Harry Chapin lived in Huntington with his family. \nBesides Markus and Gathering Time\, this year’s roster of performers includes newcomers Matthew Ponsot\, Roger Silverberg\, and Lisa Ann & Akiva Wharton\, plus touring English folk musician Daniel Cainer. Other performers include Hank Stone\, Frank Walker\, Roger Street Friedman\, Martha Trachtenberg\, Debra Lynn & Lora Kendall\, Media Crime\, Talya Smilowitz\, Joe Iadanza\, Miles & Mafale\, Russ Seeger\, Robin Eve\, Joanne Amante\, Christine Solimeno\, Mara Levine\, Judith Zweiman & Duane Michael Tucker\, Patricia Shih & Stephen Fricker\, the ensemble Will Sing for Food\, Grand Folk Railroad\, and Robin Greenstein\, with the possibility of other acts to be added. There will also be guest speakers and awards presentations.  \nLong Island Cares’ staff and volunteers will be collecting donations of non-perishable food items at a tent at the entrance to The Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre. They also will be selling t-shirts and Harry Chapin CDs\, as well as distributing literature about the organization’s programs and services.   \nThe concert will be held rain or shine\, precluded only by thunderstorms.

SUMMARY:Hard Luck Café: Toby Walker
DESCRIPTION:Toby Walker (https://www.littletobywalker.com/) will be the featured artist at the monthly Hard Luck Café series co-presented by the Folk Music Society of Huntington and the Cinema Arts Centre (423 Park Avenue\, Huntington) in the Cinema’s Sky Room on Wednesday\, May 17\, from 7-10 p.m. An open mic precedes the concert. \nTickets are $25 ($20 for Cinema Arts Centre/FMSH members) and can be purchased online at https://cinemaartscentre.org or at the Cinema Arts Centre box office now through the evening of the event. \nInternationally and nationally acclaimed Toby Walker has been hailed as an award-winning\, roots music fingerstyle guitar virtuoso and songwriter who has toured the US\, the United Kingdom\, Canada and Europe. Blending the styles of blues\, ragtime\, country\, bluegrass\, old-time jazz and rock\, Walker has developed his own style and as such received numerous awards\, including being the 1st-place recipient of the International Blues Challenge Award in Memphis and the NY Music Award for best instrumental CD. Walker has also been inducted into the NY Blues Hall Of Fame. \nWalker is a nationally recognized guitar instructor\, having taught at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch\, Woody Mann’s Guitar Seminars\, The Swanannoa Gathering\, The New Jersey Big Guitar Camp and the Guitar Intensive in Maine. Walker also has eight instructional DVD’s on Happy Traum’s Homespun Music Instruction and has produced hundreds of instructional videos for his own website. \nToby’s passion for blues\, rags\, folk\, and other traditional American music drove him to leave an apartment crammed full of recordings\, books and instruments for the Mississippi Delta\, Virginia and the Carolinas\, where he tracked down some of the more obscure — but immensely talented — music makers of an earlier era. He learned directly from Eugene Powell\, James “Son” Thomas\, Etta Baker\, and R.L Burnside\, among others. \n“If he doesn’t get them with his phenomenal guitar playing or catchy songs\, he gets them with his wonderful stories. True entertainers have an engaging spirit that puts a smile on your face. Arlo Guthrie has it. David Bromberg has it. And so does Toby. “\n          – John Platt – WFUV \n“Flat out… you have to hear this great musician… I’m blown away.”\n          – Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna and the Jefferson Airplane \n“A fingerpicking guitar virtuoso.”\n          – Happy Traum \n \nToby Walker (Both photos by Larry Sribnick) \n  \nVideos: \n“Shetland Pony Blues” \n“Nobody’s Fault But Mine” \n“Bootlegger’s Blues”

SUMMARY:Hard Luck Café:  Robinson & Rohe
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed American songwriting duo Robinson & Rohe (www.robinsonandrohe.com) will take the stage at the monthly Hard Luck Café series co-presented by the Folk Music Society of Huntington and the Cinema Arts Centre (423 Park Avenue\, Huntington) in the Cinema’s Sky Room on Wednesday\, May 17\, from 7-10 p.m. An open mic precedes the concert. \nTickets are $25 ($20 for Cinema Arts Centre/FMSH members) and can be purchased online at https://cinemaartscentre.org or at the Cinema Arts Centre box office now through the evening of the event. \nRobinson & Rohe features Liam Robinson (banjo\, accordion\, vocals) and Jean Rohe (guitar\, vocals). Since the release of their debut record\, Hunger\, in 2017\, they have taken their music all over the US\, Switzerland\, UK\, and Ireland\, lighting up venerable folk venues and festivals from Club Passim to The Green Note and opening for Tom Paxton and Anaïs Mitchell along the way. In April 2021 they were the first act to welcome live audiences back to Caffè Lena since the pandemic began. \nNow\, Robinson & Rohe is poised to release a new collection of songs\, Into the Night\, on Righteous Babe Records in May 2023\, showcasing their skill as producers and arrangers. After a long production period\, made longer by the pandemic\, and preceded by a touring hiatus during which Liam served as vocal-arranger and music-director of Anaïs Mitchell’s smash hit Broadway musical Hadestown and Jean released Sisterly\, an award-winning record of her own\, this record is long overdue. Into the Night builds on the keen-eyed writing\, detailed arrangements\, impeccable duo singing\, and modern American themes explored in Hunger but takes a new tack with the addition of drums\, electric guitars\, horn section\, and vocal ensemble. \n“Robinson & Rohe are musicians’ musicians\,” says Mike Pengra of Minnesota Public Radio. “They create a perfect duo–listening\, waiting\, complementing each other\, and adding just what needs to be added to a song at just the right moment.” \n \nA power couple if there ever was one\, the two pursue individual artistic lives outside of R&R\, making names for themselves and finding their places in NYC’s richly overlapping arts scenes. In addition to his critical role in the success of Hadestown\, Liam was a member of the Broadway cast of Warhorse and an integral member of the Becca Stevens Band\, shaping its sound since its inception. Jean’s songwriting has won honors from the Kerrville Folk Festival (2022 New Folk winner)\, the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (most-wanted artist)\, the Brooklyn Arts Council (2022 grant recipient)\, The Independent Music Awards (2019 Best Adult Contemporary Album)\, and The Telluride Troubadour contest (2016 finalist). She is perhaps best known for her oft-covered video single\, “National Anthem: Arise! Arise!” a stirring alternative to the Star Spangled Banner featuring brass arrangements by Liam. \nRobinson & Rohe live in Brooklyn\, NY. \nVideos: \n“For A Moment” \n“Louisa” \n“Hunger” \n

SUMMARY:NorthShore Original Open Mic (NOOM) in the Sky Room at Huntington’s Cinema Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 22 \nThe Folk Music Society of Huntington joins with the Cinema Arts Centre in presenting the Northshore Original Open Mic (NOOM) three Wednesday nights each month. The open mic series\, held in the Cinema’s Sky Room (423 Park Avenue\, Huntington\, NY)\, is set for 7:00pm\, with open mic sign-up beginning at 6:30pm. Although it is free to attend\, donations will be sought and gratefully accepted. \nFeatured artist Phil Kennelty will play a 30-minute spotlight set\, starting at around 8:15pm. \n“It’s our pleasure to continue the ever-deepening partnership between the Cinema Arts Centre and two pillars of Long Island music scene – the Folk Music Society of Huntington and NorthShore Original Open Mic (NOOM)\,” said Dylan Skolnick\, co-director of the Cinema Arts Centre. “The Folk Music Society of Huntington’s monthly Hard Luck Café series has been a mainstay of our programming for many years\, bringing some of the country’s best folk music performers to dedicated folk fans here in Huntington. With the introduction of a weekly open mic night\, we are delighted to offer even more opportunities for music lovers and artists to come together\, as well as a space where seasoned performers can try out their newest original pieces and where up-and-coming musicians can get used to performing for a crowd\,” Skolnick added. \n“NOOM is thrilled to partner with the Folk Music Society of Huntington and the Cinema Arts Centre and lay the groundwork for a weekly opportunity for original songwriters and performers to present their original songs in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere\,” said Toby Tobias\, a Huntington-based singer-songwriter who launched the open mic series at a small coffee shop in Northport in the fall of 2013. One of the longest running weekly original open mics on Long Island\, NOOM has reincarnated itself at quite a few North Shore locations through the years — most recently at Finley’s in Huntington. \nAlthough the COVID-19 pandemic precluded NOOM from taking place in-person since March 2020\, songwriter Richard Parr has been livestreaming the open mic every week since then and is also playing a major role now that it has resumed in-person. “We invite singer-songwriters of varying skill levels and those who love live music\, to gather at the Cinema Arts Centre to listen to songwriters\, dedicated to the craft of writing and singing their songs\, play and talk about their original music in an environment of goodwill and open-mindedness\,” said Tobias. He noted that each NOOM will also include a featured 20-minute performance by a known/emerging local or touring songwriter starting at around 8:00pm.  “I am very excited to be a part of this\,” he said. \nMichael Kornfeld\, longtime president of the Folk Music Society of Huntington\, shares their excitement. “FMSH is delighted to extend its partnerships with both NOOM and the Cinema Arts Centre and to help provide opportunities for local singer-songwriters to share their music with our community\,” he said. “NOOM has been an Acoustic Ally of FMSH for a number of years. We’ve cross-promoted each other’s events and presented a couple of joint livestreams over the past two years.” \nAffording local artists opportunities to share their talents with appreciative audiences in an intimate listening room atmosphere was the initial impetus behind the nonprofit presenting organization’s Hard Luck Café concert series many years ago\, Kornfeld noted. That series now features a mix of local\, regional and national touring artists. The Cinema Arts Centre has partnered with the Folk Music Society of Huntington and hosted the monthly Hard Luck Café concerts in its Sky Room for more than a decade.

SUMMARY:Hard Luck Café: Kala Farnham -and- Lara Herscovitch
DESCRIPTION:Singer-Songwriters Kala Farnham and Lara Herscovitch will share the bill during the monthly Hard Luck Café series co-presented by the Folk Music Society of Huntington and the Cinema Arts Centre (423 Park Avenue\, Huntington) in the Cinema’s Sky Room on Wednesday\, March 15\, from 7-10 p.m. Farnham is the current official Connecticut State Troubadour\, while Herscovitch is a previous CT State Troubadour. An open mic precedes the concert. \nTickets are $20 ($15 for Cinema Arts Centre/FMSH members) and can be purchased online at https://cinemaartscentre.org or at the Cinema Arts Centre box office now through the evening of the event. \n \nKala Farnham \nArmed with a voice and an entourage of instruments\, songstress Kala Farnham (https://www.kalafarnham.com/) set out into the world with one vision: To inspire through the transformative power of musical storytelling. Farnham has garnered numerous awards and recognition\, including serving as the current Connecticut State Troubadour\, 2020 Falcon Ridge Festival Emerging Artist\, 2020 Great American Song Contest Finalist\, and 2019 Rose Garden Performing Songwriter Contest winner. Farnham’s 2020 album\, Your Spirit Is a Work of Art\, is composed of thirteen musical vignettes exploring the imperfect beauty of the human condition; it has been described by Nick Noble of The Folk Revival as “a work of poetic insight… worth listening to again and again.” Drawing from a classical education and professional career in musical theater\, Kala presents a hallmark reinvention of the folk tradition: her lush musical arrangements\, compelling vulnerability\, and vivid storytelling draws her audience into imaginative vantagescapes of the familiar world. \n \nLara Herscovitch \nLara Herscovitch (https://laraherscovitch.com/)is a singer-songwriter-poet-performer-author gem. As described in The Boston Globe\, she brings “a luminous voice and a buoyant stage presence…big-hearted lyrics embrace the sum of life…Herscovitch’s music blows on the embers of a lagging spirit or a dormant creative life.” Lara leads with authenticity\, integrity\, humor and heart. Sound Waves Magazine described her music as “expertly written prose…songwriting at its best…good for your ears AND your soul.” Acoustic Live in New York City added\, “She possesses not only a huge reservoir of musical talent and a voice with a bell-like clarity\, but a keen sense of global concern and a fierce intellect…It might seem too good to be true\, but true it is.”

He noted that each NOOM will also include a featured 20-minute performance by a known/emerging local or touring songwriter starting at around 8:00pm.  “I am very excited to be a part of this\,” he said. \nMichael Kornfeld\, longtime president of the Folk Music Society of Huntington\, shares their excitement. “FMSH is delighted to extend its partnerships with both NOOM and the Cinema Arts Centre and to help provide opportunities for local singer-songwriters to share their music with our community\,” he said. “NOOM has been an Acoustic Ally of FMSH for a number of years. We’ve cross-promoted each other’s events and presented a couple of joint livestreams over the past two years.” \nAffording local artists opportunities to share their talents with appreciative audiences in an intimate listening room atmosphere was the initial impetus behind the nonprofit presenting organization’s Hard Luck Café concert series many years ago\, Kornfeld noted. That series now features a mix of local\, regional and national touring artists. The Cinema Arts Centre has partnered with the Folk Music Society of Huntington and hosted the monthly Hard Luck Café concerts in its Sky Room for more than a decade.
