Appearing Next at Uncle Calvin's

 Friday, May 09, 2008   ($12 advance/$15 door)
A Kerrville Festival “discovery”, this group is a spry energetic acoustic band with a taste for folk music, roots and rock. Amy grew up on opera, old country and garage rock and she manages to bring elements of those into her genre bending folk songs. Her voice, while powerfully emotive, is softly seductive and fetchingly spellbinding. Amy’s songs dance around the avenues of personal love and romance, viewed with wit and resilience, reverie and joy. You’re gonna like this one!
OpeningHigh energy Canadian jazz-folk duo.

Friday, June 13, 2008   ($12 advance/$15 door)
A “legend” for his influence on modern American folk music and its writers, (Vega, Gorka, Griffith…), Jack chooses to remain untouched by the commercial music industry, homage to his integrity. Jack’s richly textured songs weave tales of people and places, events and epochs. History, mythology and poetry, Celtic, traditional, and western folk music inspirations fill Jack’s 20 critically acclaimed albums with some of the best folk songs ever written. In his dusty voice, deliberate-paced, precisely phrased lyrics reveal the power of the sound of words.
We were among the first US venues to feature Reg, one of Britain’s greatest folk-pop artists and he made a lot of fans here! His clear, high and smooth voice reminds us a bit of Lorin Rowan and Iain Matthews: The variety of his styles equal to theirs. Reg’s hummable/singable tunes, with their affable, largely optimistic lyrics, are reminiscent of glorious 70’s faves, Richard Thompson’s bittersweet love songs, and of traditional English balladry.
