"Do you believe Jesus is gunna come down and drop a million dollars
from heaven? Raise your hand if you believe a bolt of lightning
could come tear apart this roof and drop a million dollars right
here into our hands. Believe me Jesus has got it. Do you believe
Jesus is gunna shake you from you sinful slumber with a new
Cadillac? Oh my children, it breaks my heart.
The Gomorrans are preaching the holy gospel of sin brothers and
sisters. Each blaring stab of the trombone, each sweet clarinet
cadenza, reverberates with sin, bouncing off the sinful walls and
into your sinful ears. Maybe as you hear it, you'll be able to let
all your devilish guilt and meanness out of your heart. You'll be
able to let your heart go free and raise a glass with your brethren.
Can I get an amen? Can I get a Salud? L'chiam! Proost! Hallelujah!"

Miss Henry
9:00 pm
FREE
In Amsterdam she was "dubbed the Queen of the Vondel Park for her
full throated open air singing" Time Out Magazine, while Orr (Ear)
music magazine called her voice a "deep rich voice not to be missed"
when singing with the Dutch band First Contact. In Europe, MISS
HENRY sings with Charlie Hunter, Christian Mc Bride to Kenny Drew
Sr. and Clark Terry. While her focus is jazz and blues she flows
into soul standards in her current shows. But her stand up comedy
is what keeps audiences entertained between songs as no singer takes
herself less seriously when doing swim solos on the bar stool for
visuals during piano solos. Her shows are all about having fun and
making good music.

featuring:
Lindsay Garfield (One Horse Power)
Matthew Herz
Ted Nunes
Aaron Gomes (Vernal Falls)
Liam Carey (Mandrake)
Lindsay Garfield
Lindsay Garfield and Charlie Brown are two thirds of
the San Francisco-based ensemble one horse power.
Influence for Lindsay's melodies range from cabaret
and jazz to country and old Jewish folk songs, and her
lyrical material comes from stories she finds in
books, film, and in her dreams. Charlie Brown
breathes life into Lindsay's song skeletons with rich,
moody, and jazz-infused piano-speak, while maintaining
the purity and color found in these long lost tales.
Matthew Herz
www.e14records.com
Matthew Herz has taken his study of classical guitar and turned it into an entirely new kind of music. Bending classical and folk/rock genres into rhythmic and melodic pieces, Mr. Herz has been compared to a classical John Fahey.
Aaron Gomes
Vernal Falls www.vernalfalls.com utilizes homeade alternate guitar tunings, finger picks, slides, & harmonicas, while singing rich-textured and timeless music often compared to John Fahey, M. Ward,
Nick Drake, and Sam Beam. These days Vernal Falls is putting the finishing touches on his new record titled The High Ground , as well as lining up killer shows for everyone at home in Visalia CA. at his booming venue Howie and Son's Pizza www.howieandsonspizza.com
Ted Nunes
Singer/songwriter Ted Nunes fronts the central valley (CA) neo/folk
roots rock band Richfield. With his feet planted firmly in
traditional songwriting, Ted Nunes isn't just trying to repeat the
footsteps of his influences, but taking what he has learned and passing it on to new listeners. Too many influences to name but here are a few......Dylan, Johnny Cash, The Band, David Bowie....and so on.
Liam Carey
www.liamcarey.net
Playing banjo and toy slide guitars, Liam Carey brings a raw quality to his americana-influenced folk. Mr. Carey cites as influences such modern folk stars as Sam Beam as well as old-time folk heroes like Blind Willie Johnson.

8:00 pm

"Anton Barbeau crafts one hell of a pop song. Be it an assignment
for a songwriting class ("Dig My Pig") or a retelling of Roman
Polaksni's Repulsion ("Jane too Soon"), Barbeau can go-go-go. The
ditties are slight, some little more than two chords bouncing back
and forth. The lyrics, too, are sweet and odd and tasty -- just the
right mix to leave you singing along after only a listen or two. By
no means do I intend to cast aspersions on simplicity. I love
simplicity. Some of my best friends are simple. And Barbeau knows
that simple and pop are a potent mix. Barbeau's taking it back,
doing it old-school. These are '60s style bubble gum pop songs like
1910 Fruitgum Company used to do."

STEPHEN SMITH'S music has been described by one glib commentator as 'the little black dress of rock: comfortable and stylish in all situations.' He is a veteran of Paisley Underground faves Salem 66 and post-grunge Sub Pop act Green Magnet School. He also enjoys the distinction of having been the very first act signed to England's Domino Records. As a solo performer, he's a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll, but more like Elliott Smith than Elvis. Expect songs about girls, sung in past and present tenses, and standard chord progressions mixed with some occasional dissonance. The singing's a little gruff but not gravelly, occasionally bell-like, and always twang-free. Stephen's current band 'The Morning Line' has a website and you can check it out at www.themorningline.net
