Sharon Goldman + Tim Haufe + James Margolis + Addi&Jacqui @ The Way Station

8pm- Sharon Goldman
Genre: Folk-pop
For fans of: Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, KT Tunstall, Aimee Mann

SHARON GOLDMAN sings “high-end folk-pop” — that is, sophisticated songwriting for discerning listeners. The New Jersey-based singer-songwriter has been called a “brilliant tunesmith” (New York Music Daily) whose vivid imagery and intelligent, inventive storytelling — combined with clever, catchy melodies and pure, precise vocals — take folk-pop to new, more powerful places.

Think Suzanne Vega. Shawn Colvin. Aimee Mann. KT Tunstall. Brandi Carlisle. Send them all on a subway ride downtown with Sharon’s idol, Paul Simon, and you’ll get her brand of honest, direct, poignant, clever songwriting.

Her latest album, SILENT LESSONS, was officially released on January 1, 2014. The new 8-song offering was produced by longtime collaborator THAD DEBROCK, a Brooklyn-based guitarist, sideman, musical director and multi-instrumentalist who has worked with many top artists including Duncan Sheik, Ari Hest, Sharon Corr (of The Corrs) and was in the original band for the Broadway show Spring Awakening.
"Sharon's lyrics are a clinic in how to paint an indelible picture with the simplest images and symbols." -- Alan Young, New York Music Daily

"Not one note, not one lyric out of place...Sharon is producing music that deserves careful listeners." -- Charlie Silvestri, Host, Up Close and Acoustic

"Silent Lessons is a deeply satisfying listen. Goldman's voice is sweetly clear, her guitar playing is beautifully nuanced, and the songs tell well-thought-out stories." -- Amy Putnam, FreelanceFolkie.com

9pm- Tim Haufe
Genre: Indie/Folk/Acoustic
For fans of:  Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Daniel Rossen, Stevie Wonder

Tim Haufe is a songwriter and musician who grew up in Poughkeepsie, NY.  His music is volatile, desperate, beautiful, dynamic, and full of hope.  His latest self-produced album, The End of the Year (November 2012), has received critical acclaim.  On stage he typically performs as a solo act, presenting an intimate and inspiring musical experience.  Haufe currently lives in New York, where he is striving to establish for his music the grand reputation that it deserves.

“Tim has all the qualities one looks for in a live performance: He is in tune with the elasticity of the crowd.  I could feel myself being drawn closer and closer to the music as the song went on.” -Daniel Dissinger, InStereoPress
