| .J. just kidnapped Britney !! OK. Now that I've got your attention:Two big shows this weekend. One I'm hosting, one I'm playing. First,I'll be hosting at brooklyn friday night. Mark Cutler saves the worldwith his acoustic guitar, rock realism ripped from backwash clubs andmusical acumen flowing like a new keg. Jake Haller, a man of greattalent, insight, hilarity and mystery continues to reveal more sidesof himself than a polyhedron. Luke Brawner, Tony's quick pick fromTexas, will let us know what's really going on in this country.Saturday I actually play, not host. I join two totally favorite andcool RISA chicks (Jan Luby and Joanne Lurgio) for a workshop in a landcalled Greenville. There is apparently a Mill wherein lies "Music ofthe Mill!" If you live in those parts and know what the heck I'mtalking about please come down and mill around with us:Jan Luby came from the big city but, like so many seekers and makersof great folk music, went to the country, with lots of green stuff,like GREENVILLE. You got to hear Jan testify if you've never heard afree-spirited, smart women poets school us all on the good things.Joanne Lurgio has a voice like Christmas that'll have you lookingaround for a choir. She won a million awards includings "bestestsinger ever" last motif party in case you passed out before the end.Every time she invites me over I smuggle one of them out and itdoesn't make a dent.I'm not going to slack off either. I'll be imparting great wisdom.. . .. so I've got to get googling! We're actually gonna rehearse.MORE DETAILS/WEBSITES/TESTIMONIALS BELOW FOR BOTH GIGS !!!!So, come on out either Friday and Saturday or both. THANKS, frankps-And if you're a musician I'll be hosting open mic tonight atBrooklyn! 7:30 sign up. 8-10 great talent and people trying toremember when their next gig is.MARK CUTLERhttp://www.myspace.com/markcutlerhttp://www.mcutler.com/JAKE HALLER--blues, folkhttp://www.myspace.com/jwghhttp://jwgh.org/index.htmlSTRAIGHT OUTTA TEXAS- LUKE BRAWNERhttp://myspace.com/lukebrawnerhttp://www.myspace.com/poorrichfolkhttp://www.myspace.com/frankmartynhttp://www.janluby.com/http://www.joannelurgio.com/ http://www.myspace.com/joannelurgioJAN'S INFO ABOUT THE MILL HERE !!!!Hello Friends,On Saturday, October 6th, at 8:00 p.m. Hot & cold drinks and snacks are available. The Mill is located at 711 Putnam Pike Greenville , RI alongsidePools Plus in the Putnam Pike Mills. Exit 7B from I 295, 2.5 miles West on Route 44...on your right. call 401.949.8988 or visit www.musicatthemill.com I'll behosting the first Songwriter Workshop at The Mill, 711 Putnam Pike inGreenville, RI. Joining me will be Joanne Lurgio and Frank Martyn andthe workshop will be done like RISA songwriters "in the round" nights. If you're a songwriter, want to be a songwriter, or just want to heara couplehours of good original songs, this will be a fun event.Don't miss this evening if you can help it. Not fer nothin', butJoanne Lurgio won Motif Magazine's 2007 Best Singer/Songwriter! Shehas a great guitar style and knows how to belt out a song. FrankMartyn is one of the funniest songwriters I've ever heard! Hissongs range from just plain beautiful to laugh-out-loud funny. Oh,and I'll be singing my songs too...The concept of Mill's Workshop Series has been to bring together musicians and listeners in a cozy and relaxed environment. The musicians can try some different things, perhaps step out of their normal "gig" and the listeners are able to interact with the music and musicians in a way not possible in the typical "performance environment". Hopefully this will inspire all to celebrate music more frequently be it by playing an instrument, singing or just by sitting back and listening. Please join us at The Mill for an evening of friends and neighbors making music. It should be FUN! The Workshop Series at The Mill is an all-ages smoke and alcohol free event. No charge for admission...donations into the hat for the band and house are graciously accepted!For more info: www.musicatthemill.com or 949-8988.Hope to see you there!Peace on ya,Ja |
