RORIE KELLY, JOHN-FLOR and JAY SCOTT

Three great Long Island singer-songwriters – alone and together - each celebrating the release of a new album in a special Live in the Lobby performance.

Rorie Kelly writes songs, breaks strings, screams, sings pretty, and then screams some more. She will, in short, rock your socks, which is what she did the past two times she performed in the Lobby. Some things she's done that she thinks are cool are open for Alix Olsen at a V-Day Event, organized a Women Who Will Rock Your Socks concert series, Participated in the Musicians for Peace Project by organizing musical consciousness raising events and played a whole lot of cool places in NY, NJ, CT and RI. She celebrates the release of her new album, Wish Upon a Bottlecap with this performance at Live In the Lobby.

In 2004, John Flor Sisante released his first album The Music of Things, and Rafer Guzman of Newsday called it "a collection of 10 terrific tracks...throughout the disc, he puts his stamp on each song in surprising, delightful ways.” In October 2007, Guzman said “Sisante recently posted three new tracks to his MySpace page, and they're terrific. This time around, Sisante is really stretching his creative boundaries”. John-Flor’s second album will be released this summer and he will play a number of songs from it Live in the Lobby. www.myspace.com/johnflor

Singer-Songwriter Jay Scott’s “rich voice of gritty satin makes his music instantly compelling. Although born and raised on Long Island, his deep, raspy tone is pure Delta blues in origin, and is as intoxicating as southern whiskey.” (Jennett Meriden Russell, The Press of Manorville & The Moriches). After writing and polishing his songs through regular live performances in the New York area and beyond, Scott has returned to his home town of Patchogue, gotten married, bought a house, had a baby, and recorded his first Album, Homegrown which he will celebrate with this performance, Live In the Lobby. www.jayscottlive.com

Plus the Songwriter Spotlight with Corey Balsamo, Aaron Palmadessa, Seamus Sullivan and more!! $10.00

JUNE 5 CAMERA-HEAD SHARK In Concert

The final show of the 2007-2008 season

Newsday rated Camera-Head Shark's album Oh, You as one of the top ten albums released by Long Island artists in 2007. Coming in at number two on the list, Rafer Guzman said the album is "Bright and bubbly with a distinctively nutty flavor, this is the most refreshing disc from Long Island in years. File somewhere between Camper Van Beethoven and Cake." Bill Dvorak of The Deli Magazine said "Camera-Head Shark offer up the sort of hyperactive indie-pop that infects your body like some virus that's grown resistant to antibiotics – once the stuff's in you, you won't be able to kill it off. But nor should you, as CHS play the kind of infectious, multi-layered and multi-harmonied songs that guarantee for a listen so fun it hurts. From the wacky, pitch-shifted vocals and playful punk chorus of "Kurbana Novain," to the poignant, piano-laced waltz of "Face the Day," CHS deliver a sound that weaves so many influences through its sonic depths that there is certain to be something to grab everyone's attention." http://cameraheadshark.com

Opening the show will be acoustic sets from Vampires and Charlie Mirro. $10.00
