SUMMARY:In The Heights
DESCRIPTION:The unbearable July heat has the denizens of NYC’s Washington Heights neighborhood in the streets shouting\, “Que calor!” Several established businesses have closed. Housing costs – and racial tensions – are on the rise. And the once vibrant\, now dwindling community must rally together to preserve their culture and their way of life. \nLin Manuel-Miranda’s music-filled love letter to the community of his youth\, In The Heights\, tells the story of the corner bodega where the coffee is hot\, light\, and sweet\, the apartment windows that are always open\, and the cool breeze that carries the percussive rhythm of the bustling city and three generations of dreams. And for this community on the brink of change\, it tells a story of hope\, heritage\, and healing love.

SUMMARY:NBPT Pride presents Melissa Ferrick

Between 1996 and 1999\, Melissa released three albums with the Colorado-based indie label W.A.R. Records.

SUMMARY:Suzzy Roche & Lucy Wainwright Roche
DESCRIPTION:Suzzy and Lucy released their last recording I Can Still Hear You in the fall of 2020. The album was largely recorded in the darkest hours of the Covid shutdown in the spring of 2020 in NYC. After starting the recording in Nashville\, the mother/daughter team went back to New York City just as the city closed up. They set up studios in their bedrooms: Lucy in Brooklyn\, Suzzy in Manhattan\, and finished the record. Hailed as “one of the year’s best” by Americana Highways\, the new album has been met with high praise. (see attached sheet). Suzzy and Lucy have recorded two albums previously\, Fairytale & Myth (Independent Music Award winner) and Mud & Apples (also nominated for IMA). \nThose familiar with Lucy Wainwright Roche are aware of her bell tone voice\, her unshakable melodies\, and her knack for wise\, wry lyrics. It’s no surprise that Wainwright Roche is the daughter of Suzzy Roche (The Roches) and Loudon Wainwright III\, half sibling to Rufus and Martha Wainwright. Lucy has carved out her own career as a touring singer/songwriter and recording artist\, with five critically acclaimed solo recordings released on her own label: Eight Songs\, Eight More\, Lucy\, There’s a Last Time for Everything and her most recent Little Beast (Winner of the Independent Music Award for Best Singer/Songwriter.) Other recordings include a collaboration with her sister Martha Wainwright on Songs In the Dark\, a collection of lullabies. For over a decade\, as a solo act\, armed with a guitar\, a deadpan sense of humor\, insightful songs\, and a voice that makes tough guys cry\, she’s built a solid following across the US and Europe. As an opening act she has often appeared with such luminaries as The Indigo Girls\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Neko Case\, and her brother\, Rufus\, and she’s one of a few who can step out alone in front of a thousand strangers and play an entire set to a rapt audience. \nSuzzy Roche is a singer/songwriter/performer/author and founding member of the singing group The Roches. She has recorded over eighteen albums\, written music for TV and Film\, and toured extensively for forty years across the U.S. and Europe. She has performed with the experimental theater troupe\, The Wooster Group\, for over twenty years. Her children’s book Want To Be In A Band (Random House) was published in February 2013. Wayward Saints (Hyperion/Voice) is her first novel and was a selection of the Spring 2012 B&N Discover Great New Writers Program. Her most recent novel The Town Crazy was published in August of 2020. www.suzzyroche.com \nTHE CHICAGO TRIBUNE’s review of Suzzy Roche and Lucy Wainwright Roche’s performance at The Space in Evanston Illinois said\, “Their voices intertwined in gorgeous union…mother and daughter had the room in the palms of their talented hands. This was a glittering gem of a show.”

SUMMARY:Soggy Po Boys
DESCRIPTION:The Soggy Po Boys\, native to New England\, have quickly become an institution. They are spreading the good news of New Orleans music across the northeast and beyond\, playing at concert halls and street corners; music festivals and burlesque festivals; bars and libraries; wherever the party requires. Part of the beauty of New Orleans music is that it’s celebrated and appreciated wherever it goes\, from the street to the theater. \nThe Po Boys formed in 2012 to shake the walls of a local club on a Fat Tuesday but have honed their sound and become more than a Mardi Gras centerpiece. Exploring the vast musical traditions of New Orleans and expanding their repertoire to look beyond NOLA jazz\, the band includes traditional Caribbean tunes (it’s been said that New Orleans is the northernmost city in the Caribbean)\, as well as Meters funk\, soul\, and brass band / street beat music. There are a myriad of traditions that flow into New Orleans culture just as there are tributaries that feed the Mississippi\, and the Po Boys are eager to explore what makes the music of New Orleans so damn special. You’ll hear the heavy influence of the New Orleans sound across the band and in the stories told by their original tunes. Despite the scope of its sound\, the outfit is only seven people\, and thrives on the interplay and group dynamics that bring this music to life. \nThe Soggy Po Boys are:​ \nStu Dias- Vocals / Guitar\nEric Klaxton- Clarinet/Sop. Sax\nNick Mainella- Tenor Sax\nJosh Gagnon – Trombone\nMike Effenberger- Piano\nScott Kiefner- Upright Bass\nBrian Waterhouse – Drums/Percussion

SUMMARY:Eric Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION:Singer/songwriter Eric Hutchinson is feeling nostalgic as he prepares to spend 2023\, and into 2024\, celebrating the 15th anniversary of his debut album\, Sounds Like This. “It’s a special record for me – one that changed my life\, my career\, and introduced my music to a new audience I could only have dreamt of\,” the Takoma Park\, MD native reflects. To commemorate the anniversary\, Eric has announced that he will be playing shows all year long\, performing the album in its entirety. He’s also revealed that Sounds Like This will finally be available on vinyl for the first time ever. Furthering the deep-dive into his past\, Eric also released a new single\, “Sad Songs”\, a forgotten pop tune he wrote and performed regularly on tour in 2008 but never got the chance to record until now. \n“I’m thrilled to spend 2023 reflecting on how my life and the world has changed in 15 years\,” Eric says. “I hope people will join me on the trip down memory lane. Maybe bring a long-lost college friend to one of my concerts\, or give Sounds Like This a re-listen for the first time in forever and remember what life was like back in 2008 – when Barack Obama was elected president\, BlackBerrys were all the rage\, and watching Netflix meant getting little red DVD packages in the mail.” \nSounds Like This ended up being a chart-topping album released by Warner Bros. Records\, but it almost never happened. Just before Eric recorded those songs\, he says he was a frustrated kid who was seriously considering quitting music. “I had spent several years toiling away on the road\, playing tragically low-attended shows\, and recording several failed albums that were not ready for prime time\,” Eric remembers. But as discouraged as he was at the time\, Eric says he hated the idea of telling his friends and family that he had quit music. “I decided to dig down deep and make one last-ditch attempt to record a professional debut that lived up to the legacies of my musical heroes like Stevie Wonder\, The Beatles\, Paul Simon\, and Michael Jackson\,” Eric recalls. “I went for broke\, literally\, to capture the music that I was hearing in my head – the songs that represented me at that time. I could never have imagined where those songs would take me.” \nToday\, Eric is a seasoned musician and touring artist who’s released eight albums\, performed in all 50 states and experimented with diverse kinds of musical genres like pop\, folk\, reggae\, alternative rock\, and jazz. Still\, more often than not\, Eric says if people are familiar with his music\, they know the songs from Sounds Like This. “I love getting to hear stories from so many people who remember growing up with the music\,” Eric says. “I’ll meet people and they’ll tell me about watching the music video for “Rock & Roll” on VH1 while getting ready for school\, or listening to “Food Chain” on a burned mix CD that an older sister made to celebrate getting her driver’s license\, or singing “Ok\, It’s Alright With Me” in their college a capella group. I’m proud of this album I made many years ago\, but I’m even more gratified by the part my music got to play in so many other people’s lives. I’m hoping I get to celebrate Sounds Like This with all those people on this tour.”

SUMMARY:Emily Scott Robinson
DESCRIPTION:Colorado songwriter Emily Scott Robinson beckons to those who are lost\, lonely\, or learning the hard way with American Siren\, her first album for Oh Boy Records. With hints of bluegrass\, country\, and folk\, the eloquent collection shares her gift for storytelling through her pristine soprano and the perspective of her unconventional path into music. \n“I think that the thread running through the album is those things that call to us\, and how we can’t resist that call\,” she says. “It’s about the siren songs that come up through our lives.” \nThough not fully autobiographical\, American Siren gracefully blends imagined characters with meaningful people she’s encountered on her journey. Showcasing her ability as a storyteller\, “If Trouble Comes a Lookin’” invents a scene where a vulnerable priest and an unhappy wife meet in an Arkansas hotel bar. “Hometown Hero” is an emotional tribute to her cousin\, a veteran lost to suicide. “Lost Woman’s Prayer” stems from the words of a sage friend she met while traveling abroad\, while “Every Day in Faith” is a personal testament to seeing things through. \nAs the album’s lead track\, “Old Gods” carries the siren concept to its fullest potential with beautiful three-part female harmony; she originally wrote it for a community production of Macbeth. Meanwhile\, “Things You Learn the Hard Way” was completed after asking for relevant scenarios from her social media followers. Yet there’s a part of her own life in every song\, too. That’s especially true in “Cheap Seats\,” about a distracted waitress who’s bound (someday) to realize her dreams. Robinson wrote it after seeing John Prine and Bonnie Raitt sing together at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville in 2019. \n“If you make music that you love that tells the truth\, or that tells a story\, everything emanates from what you have inside\,” she says. “I knew at the core that I love writing\, I love telling stories and I love performing. I knew if I just kept doing that\, even when I didn’t always know what the next step was\, that it would continue to grow and that the people who were meant to be a part of that would find me.” \nRobinson grew up in Greensboro\, North Carolina\, and turned toward guitar at age 13\, after a summer camp counselor closed out the nights by playing songs by Joni Mitchell\, Cat Stevens\, and Dar Williams every night. She taught herself to play in the early 2000s by printing guitar tabs from the internet and singing to CDs by Indigo Girls and James Taylor. But she didn’t pursue songwriting until after seeing Nanci Griffith perform in Greensboro in 2007. \n“I went home and I wrote a really sad\, beautiful country song\,” Robinson remembers. “I was like\, ‘Wow\, that was easy.’ And then I kept trying to write through college and I realized\, ‘This is not actually that easy.’” \nGraduating from Furman University with degrees in history and Spanish\, Robinson took a job as a social worker and translator in 2011. “I moved to Telluride when I was 24 to work as a victim’s advocate for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault\,” she says. “I fell in love with Telluride. That’s really where my dream started to be born of doing music.” \nIn 2013\, she found kindred spirits at Planet Bluegrass’ The Song School\, a songwriting retreat in Lyons\, Colorado\, where other participants encouraged her talent\, and just as importantly\, showed her that being a touring musician could be a viable financial option. Before temporarily moving away from Telluride\, Robinson went into town and sat on the empty stage where the city’s annual bluegrass festival is staged\, promising herself that she’d be singing on it someday. \nBolstered by the positive response of her 2016 debut album\, Magnolia Queen\, Robinson and her husband packed everything into an RV and hit the road\, with Robinson booking her own shows along the way. That same year\, her songwriting landed her among the Kerrville New Folk Winners at the esteemed Texas festival. The winners embarked on an eight-city tour of Texas that fall\, introducing Robinson to an audience that remains invested in her career. \n“That was my first time touring\,” she says. “It was so much more fun than I thought it would be. I’m a homebody and I was anxious about it because I hadn’t done it. I thought it would run me ragged. What I didn’t account for was how much energy I would get from it and how great it would feel to get in touring shape and be singing every night and have my stories be super on-point and loving the experience of finding an audience.” \nRobinson received significant acclaim for her 2019 album\, Traveling Mercies. And her long-held dream came true later that year when she sang on the Telluride Bluegrass Festival stage as the winner of the Telluride Troubadour Contest. A poignant standalone single in 2020\, titled “The Time for Flowers\,” prompted a private Instagram message from Oh Boy Records’ Jody Whelan\, letting her know how meaningful the song was to his family. They struck up a fast friendship\, then decided to partner for a release of American Siren. \n“It is bigger and riskier and more expansive than my last collection\,” Robinson says. “It feels like I wrote some songs that I’m going to grow into as I continue to perform them. I actually cried after I finished every one of them. I was so relieved that I was able to write them. I carved out a little more of my own experiences into these songs. They’re excavating some deeper stuff than I’ve touched on before. I think they will have a healing quality for people who listen.” \nFor her fans and for herself\, this revealing collection proves that heeding the call to make music was the right decision. “Ever since this dream was born\, I don’t think it’s ever left my mind\,” Robinson says. “I’ve worked toward it every day\, even when I felt like I was stumbling in the dark. Now I can look back and see how beautifully it all knits together.”

That still stands.” – Country Music People \n“This trio’s stylistic genesis–as well as title–stems from the realization that the great heritage of strings (guitars and violins) originates mutually with the Manouche gypsies of France and the no-less virtuosic hillbilly pickers and fiddlers of Oklahoma and Texas….Together for over 15 years and a dozen albums\, the threesome of high-heeled violinist Elana James\, guitarist Whit Smith and bassist Jake Erwin showed from the beginning that jazz and country music could exist together on the same page\, a highly commendable achievement if ever there was one.” – Wall Street Journal \n“Hot Club of Cowtown swung light and tight\, like tumbleweeds made of velvet.” – Rochester City Paper \n“[James’s] inventive violin style can still conjure up the unique image of Bob Wills strolling through Tin Pan Alley.” – JazzTimes \n“As instrumentally and vocally tight as any band out there working in any genre today….three skilled musicians who can seemingly just tune up and play\, something that’s becoming increasingly rare these days.” – American Songwriter \nAward-winning Austin\, Texas-based Hot Club of Cowtown may be the world’s most globe-trotting\, effervescent string trio\, who’s joyful sound blends the traditional Western swing of the 1940s American southwest with European hot jazz influences of the same era. The Hot Club of Cowtown\, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary\, writes its own original songs and reinterprets everything from hoedowns to American songbook standards in its own\, original style.

Fifteen albums\, a global following\, and the relentless passion of its live shows are the band’s enduring trademark. \nRecently signed to UK roots label the Last Music Company\, the Hot Club of Cowtown continues to amass a devoted following worldwide through its one-of-a-kind versatility and virtuosity. Career highlights include the Fuji Rock Festival (Japan)\, Lincoln Center\, the Grand Ol’ Opry\, the Glastonbury Festival (UK) and all points in between.
