Woodstock Jam.
January 6-To be announced
February 4- CLAUDIA JACOBS
and special guest ROUGH FOLK
CLAUDIA JACOBS' voice and presence ride a wave from low-down bluesy to
sweet and sassy which led one of her fans to brand her "a Hardcore Angel."
She is very comfortable on stage and her audience knows that she's real
happy to be there with them, sharing a moment; her concerts never
disappoint. Currently, she is in the studio finishing-up her long-awaited
full length CD "Rally On" and planning her support tour throughout the
Eastern Seaboard. The CD reflects her wide range of influences from
Alternative Country, Folk and Jazz, to R & B, Bluegrass and Blues.
Featured on the CD is Composer and Professor of music Dr. Dan Weymouth
serving up some '70's soul style organ and piano; on electric and slide
guitar, author of "Project Studio Blueprint" and owner of NY's Soundsurfr
Studios Greg Galluccio; protg of world renowned trombonist Ray Anderson
and new member of the world renowned brass quintet Synergy, Tristan
Eggener on tuba and bass; Bakithi Kumalo's drummer Mark Portugal and a
special appearance by guitar virtuoso Steve Rothery of the popular UK band
Marillion. Opening the show is Rough Folk. It's no surprise that HANK
STONE has been hailed as one of Long Island's best songwriters. His
memorable hooks and melodies, "two notes and you know it's Hank" guitar
style and uncanny ability to tell a story with a song make the emotional
impact of his music both immediate and compelling. Known primarily as a
solo artist, Hank recently joined forces with long-time friends TODD EVANS
and MIKE CHRISTIAN to create the band Rough Folk.
March 3-TORNADO ALLEY and special guest KEN 'THE ROCKET" KORB
Tornado Alley is a four piece acoustic band
that features songs from singer / songwriters: Tim Huss, Vincent Crici,
Lora Kendall and guest artist and founding member Sonny Speed with Robert
Langley on percussion. The sound is pure Americana with a generous helping
of three & four-part harmonies. Founded about three years ago, the concept
was to put together writers that would complement each other and to create
new songs that revisit the acoustic American sound of an earlier time. A
time when electric guitars and big amplifiers were put aside and musicians
picked up their acoustic guitars and focused on the vocals and the
writing. Following that tradition, Tornado Alley offers an array of styles
from the American back roads that will have you feeling like you're on a
cross-country road trip with your radio on. Tornado Alley captures the
feeling in song, of traveling from New England's folk scene to the
Bluegrass Region, across the Texas prairies, up through the Rockies and
out to California.While each member of the band is an accomplished soloist
who has been playing the local scene for some time, together they find new
inspiration for their writing and arranging. Audiences at Tornado Alley's
shows have truly been caught up in the band's sound. The band recently
released its first full length self titled CD.
Anyone familiar with Long Island music
venues has probably heard Ken "The Rocket" Korb, a multi- instrumentalist
and musicologist with a dynamic, humorous stage presence on mandolin,
diatonic and chromatic harmonicas, penny whistle, washboard, lead and
harmony vocals.

Acoustic Strawbs
A unique opportunity to see this legendary group in an intimate listening room environment.
The nucleus of Strawbs are David Cousins, Dave Lambert, and Chas Cronk,
the front-line of the classic 1970's line-up of Britain's most
successful international folk-rock band. "Lay Down," "Benedictus,"
"Down By The Sea," "Shine on Silver Moon," and "Part of the Union" are
just some of the well-known songs from this group whose mid-seventies
albums like Grave New World, Bursting at The Seams, Ghosts and Hero and
Heroine helped define folk rock.
The Chicago Tribune heralds them by noting "the Acoustic Strawbs stand
out as a band that performs their old material with passion and
precision. Furthermore, they have broken new ground by harnessing the
power of their electric incarnation in an acoustic setting." (www.strawbsweb.co.uk for information)

Sunday, October 3rd at 2:00 P.M.
A Blues co-bill of Beaucoup Blue and Toby Walker
Beaucoup Blue is the father and son Philadelphia-based duo of
David and Adrian Mowry. Although blues is a staple in their repertoire,
they also cite musical influences from Folk, Soul, R&B, Jazz,
Country, and Bluegrass. A handsome range of instruments (six and twelve
string guitars, slide guitar, dobro) and the two soulful voices blend
together like only family members can. (www.beaucoupblue.com for information.)
Toby Walker has emerged on the national music scene as a unique,
accomplished fingerstyle guitar virtuoso, having honed his skills on
Long Island for several years. Toby is adept at blues, rags, hot
country picking, and coaxes more out of a guitar than anyone can image.
He is also a skilled singer and songwriter who draws inspiration from
traditional and contemporary music. (www.littletobywalker.com for information)
Advance sale at $20.00 at www.shopsbu.com until Wednesday, September 29th.

Eric Andersen

Eric Andersen
Special Stony Brook Homecoming Weekend concert
Sunday, October 10th at 2:00 P.M.
This legendary singer-songwriter has his roots in the Greenwich Village
"folk" revival of the 1960's, with classic songs like "Thirsty Boots,"
"Close The Door Lightly When You Go," "Violets of Dawn" and many more.
Andersen's 1972 album (and title song) "Blue River" demonstrated his
ability to remain an important part of the contemporary music scene and
his recordings in the decades since exemplify the continued growth and
vitality of his music.
Having played Stony Brook in 1967 and again in 1972 during the
University's concert heyday, and returning for two subsequent Caf
shows in recent years, it is indeed fitting that Eric Andersen returns
on this special weekend to play a show which will revisit many of his
classic songs and also introduce some new ones as well. (www.ericandersen.com)
Advance sale at $25.00 at www.shopsbu.com until Wednesday, October 6th.
Tickets at the door (if available) $30.00
NOTE: When purchasing tickets, please select "Sunday Tickets"
for the delivery method and print your invoice. Your tickets will be
waiting for you at the door the day of the event.

Slaid Cleaves

Slaid Cleaves
Sunday, November 7th at 2 P.M.
Slaid Cleaves' self-penned biography simply says: "Grew up in
Maine. Lives in Texas. Writes songs. Makes Records. Travels around.
Tries to be good."
From his early years in South Berwick, Maine, where he and Rod
Picott were members of a high school garage band, Slaid Cleaves
eventually migrated to Austin, Texas, where he became a well-known
fixture on the local acoustic music scene and won the New Folk
competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1992. His second national
solo album, 2000's Broke Down landed Cleaves on the Americana radio
charts with both the title track (a co-write with Picott) and "One Good
Year." A busy tour schedule, fueled by an engaging stage personality,
have won Cleaves a devoted fan base which includes novelist Stephen
King, who wrote the liner notes to Cleaves' most recent album,
Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away (www.slaidcleaves.com for more information)
Advance sale at $22.00 at www.shopsbu.com until Wednesday, November 3rd.
Tickets at the door (if available) $27.00

James Keelaghan

James Keelaghan
Sunday, November 14th at 2 P.M.
One of Canada's top singer/songwriters, James Keelaghan
has gained an international audience during a quarter of a century
career of recording and performing. A student of history and a lover of
language, Keelaghan has combined both in songs respected by his peers,
with Richard Shindell, Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky including
Keelaghan's classic "Cold Missouri Waters" on their Cry Cry Cry album.
In addition to that acclaimed song, Keelaghan can point to a deep
catalogue of timeless originals like "Kiri's Piano", "Fires of Calais",
"Jenny Bryce", "Hillcrest Mine" and many more flowing from his ten
albums. He is also a masterful interpreter of the works of others as
evidenced by his recording "A Few Simple Verses" which paid homage to
his roots in traditional music and his powerful version of Gordon
Lightfoot's epic "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" (a standout track on a
Lightfoot tribute album.)
Songs from his new album, House of Cards, and Keelaghan classics will be heard during his University Caf debut. (www.keelaghan.com for more information)
Advance sale at $20.00 at www.shopsbu.com until Wednesday, November 10th.
Tickets at the door (if available) $25.00
NOTE: When purchasing tickets, please select "Sunday Tickets"
for the delivery method and print your invoice. Your tickets will be

Ellis Paul
|
Ellis Paul's annual Thanksgiving weekend concert
Sunday, November 28th at 2 P.M.
Our 100th concert at the Cafe and we can't think of a better way to celebrate this than by having Ellis Paul
return for his Thanksgiving weekend concert. Last year's sold-out
performance by Ellis and friends was incredible, so we expect another
memorable afternoon.
Ellis Paul stands at the very top of the contemporary acoustic
music world bridging the gulf between the contemporary folk sound and
the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and others. From his emergence
on the Boston folk scene, he has won a devout following for his
well-crafted songs and his passionate, energetic stage presentation.
Ellis is also celebrating his 20th year as a performer so you
can expect him to revisit many of his older songs during his Caf visit
as well as showcasing songs from his most recent album, the brilliant The Day After Everything Changed.
An Ellis Paul concert is a special event and we are delighted to have
him make the University Cafe home for his yearly visit to Long Island. (www.ellispaul.com)
Advance sale at $22.00 at www.shopsbu.com until Tuesday, November 23rd (PLEASE NOTE EARLY CUT OFF DATE).
Tickets at the door (if available) $27.00
NOTE: When purchasing tickets, please select "Sunday Tickets"
for the delivery method and print your invoice. Your tickets will be
waiting for you at the door the day of the event.

David Francey
|
David Francey, outstanding Canadian singer-songwriter
Sunday, December 12th at 2 P.M.
Scottish-born Canadian, David Francey is recognized as one of today's finest singer-songwriters who has released eight albums to date. His most recent is Seaway - a collaboration with Mike Ford (of Moxy Fruvous fame) with songs based on their voyage on the M.V. Algoville. Francey's CD, Right of Passage, earned him his third JUNO (Canada's equivalent of a Grammy) in less than 5 years.
Francey got his first taste of the working life as a paper boy and
reading the newspapers he delivered helped establish his interest in
politics and world events while developing the social conscience that
forms the backdrop of his songs. He was twelve when his family
immigrated to Toronto. He says he can trace his love of the land, the
history, and the people of his adopted country to weekend family drives
exploring southern Ontario. His attachment to Canada grew with travel
and this attachment surfaces in his songs of rail lines, farms, and the
St. Lawrence Seaway.
In concert David is a storyteller as well as a singer. His wry
humor and astute observations combined with his openhearted singing
style have earned him a loyal following. Touring with David is American
ballad maker and multi-instrumentalist Craig Werth. (www.davidfrancey.com for more information)
Advance sale at $20.00 at www.shopsbu.com until Wednesday, December 8th.
Tickets at the door (if available) $25.00
NOTE: When purchasing tickets, please select "Sunday Tickets"
for the delivery method and print your invoice. Your tickets will be
waiting for you at the door the day of the event. |
The Sunday Acoustic Concert Series, produced by Charlie
Backfish, is co-sponsored by WUSB-FM (90.1fm)
Look for our fall schedule soon.
