Meridith: If you mean what you say and don't just do what everyone else does, I have respect and admiration for what you do. Other people have compared me to: Regina Spektor, Joni Mitchell, Ani DiFranco, Jewel, Patti Smith. It's a bit of a mixed bag, I know, but I like it that way!

Wnter: What was once curiosity grew into aspiration and necessity. Semi-fruitless, daunting, and utter bliss. Confusion, recklessness, and overtly bleak.

August 1, FRI        Rod MacDonald  http://www.rodmacdonald.net/   Folk Virtuoso

7:30 - 9:30 pm  

"..one of the most politically and socially aware lyricists of our time" (All Music Guide), contempory singer/songwriter Rod MacDonald has been entertaining audiences worldwide for 30 years with his timeless ballads, modern folk songs, satirical commentaries, wry humor and diverse music genres."

9 Albums in a 30 year international touring and recording career

Throughout a 30-year performing career, Rod MacDonald has been entertaining audiences worldwide with his timeless ballads, modern folk songs, and his musical versatility.  Possessing the heart of a troubadour, the soul of a poet and the voice of a virtuoso, he is as distinctive an entertainer as he is a songwriter.  Known for his passionate interest in the events that shape our world's societies, Rod is a prolific and poignant communicator who is regarded as "one of the most politically and socially aware lyricists of our time." (All Music Guide).

Rod has released 9 solo albums, and has performed at many of the world's finest clubs and major international festivals in the U.S., Europe and Canada.  The first American folksinger to tour the liberated Czech Republic, Rod performed frequently at the 3-4 day Straznice Festival for audiences of 10,000, where he debuted his passionate anthem "For The People", a tribute to the newly freed Czechs.  He summered with the Oglala Sioux Indians on their South Dakota reservation where he met Frank Fool's Crow, ceremonial chief and medicine healer and to whom he dedicated his 2nd album, "White Buffalo" featuring the song of the same name.  Said Rod, "he is a great inspiration to me, and to everyone who knows him."

Among the more than two dozen artists who have recorded his works are Dave Van Ronk, Four Bitchin' Babes with Christine Lavin, Happy Traum and Garnet Rogers.  Rod's albums "No Commercial Traffic" (re-released in 2002) and "White Buffalo" are regarded as "one of the towering achievements in modern folk music."  (Boson Herald).

 

August 2, SAT    Uku the Mighty http://ukuthemighty.com/                        AcoustiPop

7:30 - 9:30 pm                                          

Blending the sounds that they've picked up from the popular to the obscure and mixing in the sounds that only they can hear in their heads, UKU The Mighty has a harmonic alchemy and rhythmic gumbo that has power and intrigue

Uku The Mighty - Small Instruments, Big Sound.


Uku the mighty is a ukulele based AcoustiPop trio from the western Washington. The world has plenty of guitar based bands. It's time for a new sound to emerge on as a proverbial blip on the collective radar screens of America.

Review from Uke Farm Radio Blog: "I recently received a copy of Uku the Mighty from John Moen. This is a great recording! I have added it to the UkeFarm playlist. The tunes are mostly originals, with a few covers included, Every Breath You Take and You Are My Sunshine. Kims Waltz is stunningly beautiful. John Moen, Greg Vik, Dr. Bret Smith, and Andy Etue have created my new favorite uke CD."

 

July 20, SUN         TBA      3:00 - 5:00 pm   Performing Accoustic Instrumental: Ragtime, Blues, Country Blues, Standards, Pop,  Folk Contemporary American Fingerstyle Guitar with Bass and Vocals,  Phil Hansen guitar / Brian Peterson bass
