Wine tastings provided by www.auburnroadvineyards.com
Craig is a singer/songwriter of the old school – you can hear echoes of such ‘60s folk revival artists as Tom Rush, Gordon Lightfoot and Eric Andersen in his work. Added to this is the melodic sophistication of a Jimmy Webb or a Paul Simon, as well as a spare but telling lyric approach. “I admire songwriters like Woody Guthrie and poets like Robert...

The Really Cooks and The Best Westerns
Presented by World Cafe Live at World Cafe Live - Philadelphia February 15, 2012 The Really Cooks are a half-human, half-cartoon band that creates an alternate world filled with eccentric characters to tell their story and play their songs. They mix late period British ’60s pop with a quirky American showtune aesthetic, crafting fun, energetic pop tunes. Their music combines harmonic elements that resemble Queen and the Beach Boys, but they still manage to keep an original psychedelic sensibility. Check out their 2011 debut album, Dr. Lemonade Stand!

Slow Club with Air Waves, Hurry
Presented by Johnny Brendas at Johnny Brendas February 15, 2012 Slow Club: Awesomely cute indie-pop from the UK! "Call them 'folk' if you must, but songs such as 'Sunday' and future single 'Me and You' are so gut-wrenchingly beautiful that the term sells them short. No, singing percussionist Rebecca and guitarist Charles are more than folking troubadours, they're a musical revelation. Tonight in a jam-packed theatre 'Summer' is pure heart-bursting pop, propelled by odd absurdist chair and table thwacking. Equally brilliant is debut single...

Jazz in Media: Karen Rodriguez and her Latin Jazz Ensemble
Presented by Jazz Bridge at Unitarian Universalist Church - Delaware County February 15, 2012 Singer Karen Rodriguez and her Latin Jazz Ensemble will be appearing at Jazz in Media! Ms. Rodriguez is the real deal. Others may attempt to convey a Latin sound by singing a bossa nova or a samba once in awhile, but Latin music is in Rodriguez's DNA. Seeing and hearing Karen perform live is like walking into a Cuban nightclub circa 1950, but her Latin sound would not be complete without her marvelous band: percussionist Mariano Medina, pianist Suzzette Ortiz, and bassist Juan Medina. Don't...
