Kira Velella + The Sensational Country Blues Wonders + Marek and the Boss Chops + George Gilmore @ The Way Station

7pm- Kira Velella
Genre: indie folk
For Fans Of : Anais Mitchell and Laura Marling.

Always rooted in emotion, at once joyous and sad, Kira's tunes are song-salve to sing you safely through. She's been singing and writing for years, performing since she was 17.  Daughter is the debut release, a sampler plate of six songs to taste. Percussive guitar and bright, clear vocals accompanied by tasty, textural electric guitar and atmospheric droney loops. And the occasional summer storm.

10pm- George Gilmore
Genre: Folk, Singer/songwriter
For fans of: Nick Lowe, Leonard Cohen, Justin Townes Earle, Kris Kristofferson

This New York City veteran singer/songwriter/guitar slinger has been a mainstay on the Americana/roots-rock scene for over two decades. His latest (I am a Weed) finds him in great form on these (lucky) 13 tunes exploring the journey of life with and without love, accompanied by an able stable of well-known Big Apple players. Tops for me is his gospel-fueled offering "The Good Lord Smote My Eye."
