SORRY.
April 1, Thursday. RONNY ELLIOTT at a South Tampa House Concert. The fact that Ronny's concert is on April Fool's Day Night is strictly coincidental. http://www.myspace.com/ronnyelliott
April 28, Wednesday, DANNY SCHMIDT at a South Tampa House Concert. Austin, TX-based singer/songwriter Danny Schmidt draws comparisons to Leonard Cohen,Townes Van Zandt, and Dave Carter. Upon winning the prestigious Kerrville New Folk award in 2007, Sing Out Magazine declared Danny as "the best new songwriter we've heard in 15 years." Although his musical influences draw from deeply-rooted Appalachian mountaingospel to haunted English balladry, from syncopated Piedmont country blues to vagabond 60's protest folk-stumpery, it all boils down to just great songwriting in a singular style all his own. During Danny's last visit to the Tampa Bay area, he created quite a buzz. We anticipate the same thing happening this go-round. http://www.dannyschmidt.com/
April ? Tentative: RUTH WYAND www.ruthwyand.com Ruth is a great blues & folk singer from Kill Devil Hills, N.C. & an outstanding, award winning guitarist (slide, fingerstyle & flatpicking ).

Oct 19, Tuesday, 2010 . CLAUDE BOURBON from France - now living in London - Oh my gosh! Claude is an AMAZING! jaw-dropping guitarist & also an entertaining singer-songwriter -- He may not have much name recognition around here - but trust me - he is not to be missed. To say he wowed us last time he stopped by for a STHC, is an understatement. Plus he, his wife & son are delightful people.
