Event information
REBECCA PRONSKY: Brooklyn native Rebecca Pronsky is one of New York City’s finest singers and songwriters and she’s back, sharing a new crop of her dark country-tinged gems. Her latest album ‘Viewfinder’ was released to rave reviews in April. R2 gave it 4 stars saying she’s “head and shoulders above most of her contemporaries, an outstanding lyricist with the ability to stop you in your tracks.” The Scotsman praises her “crystal-bright yet earthily sensuous voice and melodically alluring songcraft” and Americana UK declares “she is ready to take us by storm over here.” Rebecca is joined on tour by collaborator and twangy lead guitarist Rich Bennett. The duo has shared stages with Josh Ritter, Steve Forbert, Carrie Rodriguez, Patty Larkin, Shawn Colvin, and Loudon Wainwright III, among others.
STEVEN FINN: From the driving rhythm of his National guitar picking to the raw energy of his explosive harp playing Steven Finn has been electrifying audiences across Europe. Steven combines English folk and Delta blues music to provide a backdrop to his songs of protest delivered with Northern edge. Described as “one of the best young acoustic blues guitar players on two legs”, Steven was number 1 in the UK Blues charts in Summer 2010, having had one of his songs selected by legendary John Peel’s producer, Louise Kattenhorn, as part of the Storm the Charts campaign. During his career Steven has performed with Martin Carthy, Rory McLeod, Martin Simpson, the Beautiful South, Martin Stephenson, Watermelon Slim, Doug MacLeod and Elvis Costello.
