The Smithereens
Thursday, July 8th @ 8pm Only
Dressed in leather, brandishing heavy guitars, and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop, The Smithereens were an anomaly in the American college rock scene of the late '80s. Pat DiNizio's deep, moody vocals and Jim Babjak's thick, heavy guitar riffs added darkness and modernity to the classic pop structures of the group's songs. They became popular with singles such as "Blood and Roses" and "Only a Memory," gathering fans through heavy college radio airplay and extensive touring.

Donna the Buffalo

Bigshot: Tribute to Billy Joel
Friday, July 16th @ 8pm Only
"Big Shot", featuring the music of Billy Joel is comprised of musicians that have worked with artists such as Hall and Oates, Michael Bolton, Tower of Power, The Trans Siberian Orchestra, Billy Joel's Broadway Musical and most recently with Billy Joel himself at Shea Stadium. In addition to Billy Joel's music, they will also amaze you with songs by artists like Journey, Paul McCartney, Elton John and others.

Kathleen Edwards
Thursday, July 22nd @ 8pm Only
Canadian singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards' music has been compared to Whiskeytown and Gillian Welch. In 2002 major critical buzz began and rave reviews poured in as Edwards and her band continued to tour. In 2004, Edwards headed back into the studio to record her second album, Back To Me (2005), with her guitarist and bandleader Colin Cripps serving as producer. This was followed in 2008 by Asking for Flowers.

Raul Malo
Thur & Fri, July 29th & 30th @ 8pm
Founder and frontman of Grammy-winning, multi-platinum band, the Mavericks, Raul Malo has always crossed cultures with stylistic quick-turns, breaking new ground with his distinctive balance of vintage sound and contemporary attitude. He released his latest album Lucky One last year to rave reviews. Because Raul loves all kinds of music and doesn't like classifying tunes into set genres, his music promises to slip in and out of the various rhythms, blurring musical boundaries.

The Radiators The Radiators
Thursday, August 5th @ 7 & 9:30pm
The Radiators, still with the original five members, have been bringing their New Orleans-inspired music to the rest of the world for 30+ years. The Rads have released more than a dozen albums and maintain a strong, loyal fan base and are on the road relentlessly.

Buckwheat Zydeco
Thursday, Aug 12th @ 7pm
Contemporary zydeco's most popular performer, Buckwheat's urbanized sound, complete with touches of synthesizer and trumpet, marries traditional and contemporary zydeco with uncommon flair, in the process reaching a wider mainstream audience than any artist before him. "Buckwheat leads one of the best party bands in America; he can pump out zydeco two-beats or shift into rolling 12-bar blues, steaming all the way." (The New York Times).

Donna the Buffalo

The Nerds
Friday, August 13th @ 8pm Only
Twenty years of The Nerds has seen sold out shows at Carnegie Hall, a July 4th performance at South Street Seaport to a crowd of over 12,000, and acting as hosts to MTV's Ultimate Cover Band Contest. They are one of the best known cover bands playing soul, classic rock, and tv themes. Their lively stage show and banter also plays a large part in their performance.

Donna the Buffalo

Marcia Ball

Marcia Ball is a four time Grammy nominee, winner of eight Blues Music Awards and winner of two 2009 Living Blues Readers' Polls.
