Drew Gibson
Mar 19, 2010 | 0 commentsDREW GIBSON, guitarist, songwriter and Virginia native, is distinct as a dusty street, as if grown from the earth, rooted in soil and dirt, yet blossoming with flowery heartache: Drew’s music possesses a brand of yearning for the simple things – front porches, letterboxes, and all things folk and blue. Possessing an acoustic foundation with walls of electricity and melodic in its simplicity, his debut release brings a level of professionalism and maturity rarely seen in a freshman effort today. LETTERBOX reaches into a world of country blues, roots music, Americana, and folk. With influences from Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, and Mississippi John Hurt, and even John Coltrane, spinning melodies with outstanding guitar picking stature is truly this working man’s craft. $10 at the door http://www.drew-gibson.com

Jimmy Gaudreau and Moondi Klein
Mar 19, 2010 | 0 commentsJimmy and Moondi crossed paths in 1990 during a picking party at a mutual friend’s house. After singing a few tunes together, it quickly became evident that they were a great fit. In 1992 they joined forces with Seldom Scene members Mike Auldridge and T. Michael Coleman to form the group Chesapeake. This part-time band eventually became a full-time entity, yielding three highly acclaimed recording projects on the Sugar Hill label. After the disbanding of Chesapeake, both Jimmy and Moondi went on to persue their individual endeavors. It wasn’t until a call a few years later that they reunited. Back together again, they are now performing as a duo and are making big waves on the acoustic music scene. Although influenced by their bluegrass backgrounds, their sound has moved on to new levels. The tight harmonies , “hot” instrumental arrangements and heart-felt lyrics lend themselves to just about any style or genre of acoustic music. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20...
