7pm- Amy Bronson
Genre: folk
For fans of: Josh Ritter, Ani DiFranco, Rae Spoon
Amy Bronson's poetic lyrics are highlighted by somewhat atypical folk guitar riffs when she sings about the Canadian wilderness, her impressions of foreign aid work and, of course, love. Her second full-length album, titled "grizzly bear heart/coeur d'ours grizzli" was released in August 2013. She began performing in high school as a quirky opening act for travelling folk acts or heavy metal/ punk bands at local shows, and released her first full album in 2008 titled "I'm allergic to this deodorant." Originally from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, Amy is currently living in New York City for the first time.

9pm- The Flanks
Genre: Roots Music/Folk/Americana
For fans of: John Prine, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson
Based in Brooklyn, the Flanks have been playing in venues all over the New York City area and beyond since 2002. Their original, danceable, lyric-driven music draws on old-time, jug band, pre-war blues, bluegrass, honky-tonk, and outlaw country styles, as well as rock influences like The Band and Little Feat. Driven by full harmonies and rough around every edge, the thoroughly live sound of the Flanks—dubbed by some as “dirty country”—has won widespread admiration for the group among audiences across the region.
"Rollicking!" —The New Yorker
"The Flanks just blew my mind. They play this old-timey, country-folk music complete with guitars, harmonica, fiddle, upright bass, and some of the most beautifully sung harmonies I've ever heard. . . . One of the most wonderful shows I've ever seen." —Brooklyn Vegan

[...]An adept blues guitarist…distantly ominous[...]
The Deli Magazine
[...]At times, his voice recalls the George Harrison from ‘All Things Must Pass’, a rocker who still understands the roots of his sound.[...]
Lonesome Highway
[...]Jon LaDeau has a voice that is a distinctive enough presence, there are hints of a young Neil Young.

11pm- Cornbred
Genre: Blues / Afrillachian / Footstompin Craziness
For fans of: Official Joe Cocker, Dr. John, Black Diamond Heavies, The Black Keys, Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie
From the depths of of the hollars of Appalachia, the musicians of Tn congregate in the dirty little river town known as Knoxville. In a town where you can throw a stick and hit 10 musicians on a friday night in the old city, it takes a lot to continue the craft there. Cornbred is a culmination, the residue that's left in the bottom of the bottle of Knoxville's music scene. A collective of serious musicians who have unpretentiously dedicated themselves to the craft of musically taking an audience to a place emotionally, and sometimes intellectually, where the truths of living in modern Appalachia can be experienced, not just commented on.
