Mason Jennings
Presented by World Cafe Live at World Cafe Live - Philadelphia March 31, 2012 Join Mason Jennings for this special solo performance!
As one grows into adulthood, remaining steadfastly single-minded about one’s pursuits gets increasingly difficult. The musician becomes a band mate navigating the creative energies of those around them. He becomes a boyfriend, a husband, a businessman. She becomes a lover, a mother, a practitioner of her art. Life becomes multifarious, and the pressure to not let the disparate threads of a chaotic life unravel can...

Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers
Presented by Sellersville Theater 1894 at Sellersville Theater 1894 April 1, 2012 Nighthawks co-founder Jimmy Thackery unleashes an intense volley of rockin' blues. His double edged guitar dynamics allow him to bend notes so they'll fit under a limbo bar and find space within the trembling of one stinging riff. Spending time on stage with the late great Muddy Waters, Jimmy’s latest albums lead to a place where country, R&B, and even a touch of surf music all fit seamlessly with his trademark guitar blues.

Ryan Montbleau Band with Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds
Presented by ArtsQuest/Bethlehem Musikfest at Musikfest Cafe at Steel Stacks April 14, 2012 Though he has long since embraced the full-band ethos, Montbleau spent a number of years as an acoustic solo artist at the beginning of his career, so it’s no wonder that he’s making up for lost time by fully embracing the range of stylistic possibilities fuller arrangements offer. Growing up in Peabody, Mass., Montbleau got his first guitar at age 9, but didn’t get the bug to become a serious player or writer until he was attending Villanova University. His first...
