March 10: Gordon Bok
Tickets: $16.00
Gordon Bok grew up around the boatyards of Camden, Maine. He learned many tunes, sea songs, stories, legends and ballads from the people he worked with. Where he couldn't find songs that matched his experiences or needs, he began to write his own, and has kept up a lively flow of poems, songs, stories, choral and instrumental works. He has appeared on the radio show "A Prairie Home Companion" with Garrison Keillor. Gordon's music has been sung by many other performers and has been used for films, and he has over thirty recordings featuring his own compositions and folk tunes from around the world.

April 14: Brother Sun (Greg Greenway, Joe Jencks, Pat Wictor) Opening with a HOOT (Open Mic)
Tickets: $16.00
Pat Wictor, Greg Greenway, and Joe Jencks have formed a dynamic new male trio. Their harmonies, as much as their lyrics, tell what they are about: warm as a campfire, stirring as a gospel church, rousing as a call to arms. Calling upon contemporary songwriting, and informed by the deep roots of gospel, blues, and folk, the trio weaves a tapestry of harmony that is brilliantly fresh and yet familiar. Nationally touring folk artists from three major points on the map - Boston, New York, and Chicago - Pat, Greg, and Joe celebrate the amazing power of singing together. Their combined musical skills should make for an unforgettable evening - three rich voices blending on a well-crafted foundation of guitar, slide guitar, and piano.

Rescheduled from October; PayPal tickets bought originally for the October concert will be honored at this concert
Geoff is one of the great voices and musical forces to emerge from the folk, blues and folk-rock scenes centered in Cambridge and Woodstock.

Geoff's newest albums, “The Secret Handshake” “Password” “Private Astronomy” and “Texas Sheiks” have met with high critical acclaim and feature Geoff's unusually crafted interpretations of classic, oftentimes obscure, American material as well as his own unique compositions.

May 12: Ellis Paul
Opener: Special Guest, Chris Trapper
Tickets: $20.00 in advance; $22.00 at the door
Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices of the American singer- songwriter world. He was a leader in the wave of singer/songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene, which helped revitalize the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk/pop style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 1990's. Ellis' charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists drawing from the appeal of pop blending with the authenticity of folk. His music has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers. Share a wonderful evening of great music.
