STEVE SUFFET

(Steve Suffet is best described as an old-fashioned folksinger in the People's Music tradition. His repertoire is a mixture of railroad songs, trucker songs, miner songs, cowboy songs, union songs, old time country music, ballads, blues, ragtime, Gospel, bluegrass, topical-political songs, and whatever else tickles his fancy, including many songs he has written himself in traditional folk styles. Come celebrate the release of Steve's newest CD, "Low Rent District.")


ANNE PRICE

(Anne Price, who has been performing in the New York City area since the 1970s, has often been compared to Joan Baez. She sings songs of labor, peace and other issues, traditional folk songs and songs by such writers as Peggy Seeger, Jean Ritchie, Charlie King and Woody Guthrie. Peggy Seeger said to Anne: "The richness of your voice astounded me."


FEBRUARY 7

BROOKLYN WOMEN'S CHORUS

(In a lively, impassioned and jam-packed program, the Brooklyn Women's Chorus will first perform a multi-media presentation of "We Were There!", a women's labor history celebration, followed by a second set full of old favorites and new soon-to-be favorites, all to celebrate the possibility of a new era. They hope you'll join them.)

DEC 6 - CHARLIE KING and KAREN BRANDOW

With unfailing regularity Charlie and Karen return to PVC at the darkest
time of the year to remind us of the brightest possibilities. Political satirists and musical story tellers, they "remind us of the happy resilience of the human spirit...with unvarying taste, musical skill, and charm."(Billboard). They've been traveling with their new CD ...on the journey, and have a new-year's-full of stories and songs to unpack: "Two voices that complement each other beautifully and instrumentation that is spare, acoustic & just right" (Victory Music Review). Great melodies, sweet harmonies, incendiary lyrics
DEC 13

THE FOLK BROTHERS -- JACK HARDY & DAVID MASSENGILL

When two of America's best songwriters get together, the result could be
electric--but it's not. Its acoustic! Since Jack and David both moved to New York City in the mid-70s, they've dual-handedly helped to keep the folk tradition alive.Their creative output is pretty amazing, with 30 records and bootlegs between them--not to mention Hardy's eight plays and Massengill's nine books. Jack has led a songwriter's exchange in the Village for 30 years. David's songs have been covered by Joan Baez, The Roches and his mentor, Dave Van Ronk, and others. Van Ronk once proclaimed that Massengill took the DULL out of DULcimer! In the summer of 2008 Hardy and Massengill teamed up as The Folk Brothers, put out their first album, Partners In Crime, and began touring. Individually and as Folk Brothers, Hardy and Massengill are more relevant today than ever--especially since Jack insists they each write one new song a week
