Wed 8/5/09. 8pm. WALTER STRAUSS. Referred by Stevie Coyle. ( Contemporary Singer-songwriter. Spectacular guitar!!!) If you are a Burns Sisters fan, you are probably familiar w/Walter. He used to play guitar with them. Quite spectacuilar guitar at that! But not only is he a guitarist, he's a songwriter & a singer. To wit: "...... an amazing guitarist, composer, stylist, and humorist, he made the 350+ seat theater seem like a very special private show in his living room." - Eric Taber, Artistic Director, Margate Performing Arts Center, Margate,NJ.

Tues 10/27/09. 8pm. HOLLY & BARRY TASHIAN. (Folk - Americana . Great harmonies) A tidbit about Barry. Remember the Remains? Barry was a Remain - The Remains appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and toured with & opened for The Beatles during their final American tour. Barry wrote an entertaining book about that experience. But that's only a little piece of Barry's music background. He has been a part of Emmy Lou Harris' band and recorded with Gram Parsons. Since 1972 he has been performing with Holly (they met in high school). Barry & Holly are duet singers, songwriters, and touring musicians who have performed together on the Grand Ole Opry, at festivals around the world and many places in-between. They have won numerous awards, recorded with the likes of Charlie Louvin and Nancy Griffith, , and have had their songs recorded by Kenny Rogers, Solomon Burke and others. Their latest album, Long Story Short, is an eclectic blend of Americana styles, all acoustic "toe tapping" duets and solos ranging from bluegrass to swing, traditional country and even a touch of the blues. To learn more about them, check out their youtubes and websites
