This weekend @ The Blue Frog Coffeehouse
Friday, June 16th, 8pm- COLLEEN KATTAU & PETE CASSANI- $5
"Joe Hill would be proud. Singer and organizer at the same time", Pete Seeger says of Colleen, a bi-lingual singer songwriter of New Song and Nueva canción. She performs original alternative acoustic music in a splendidly energetic mix of poetry and rhythm. Her voice can be both strong and tender and has been likened to that of Joni Mitchell, Natalie Merchant, and Shawn Colvin. Colleen has performed for diverse audiences at colleges and universities, women's festivals, environmental festivals, and Latin American and labor solidarity events.
Pete Cassani cut his musical teeth on the streets of Boston alongside Mary Lou Lord and Martin Sexton, playing electric guitar thru a battery-powered amplifier. His songs meld punk rock with troubadour street-folk, Bob Dylan with Johnny Rotten. Though his band, The Peasants, is known for their rip-roaring garage rock shows, Cassani is a powerful solo artist. He has captivated audiences from NY to LA, Duluth to New Orleans and Holland to Germany. He makes you dance while making you think. Cassani's performances are filled with humor, sarcasm and some harsh truth but always seem to leave people feeling better than when they came, an important skill for a street performer.

Saturday, June 17th, 8pm- LIZ STAHLER w/ NATHAN DUPREY- $5
(Liz Stahler is a personal favorite of mine- I highly recommend that you DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!!!) It doesn't take long to realize when you go to see a Liz Stahler show you are in for a whirlwind of emotions. From her charismatic stage presence and comical anecdotes to the heartbreaking lyrics of lost self, you are not sure whether to laugh, cry or both all at once. Very quickly, you know she was meant to do this and this is exactly where she wants to be.
Nathan's site is under construction- but from what I hear- he is fabulous too!!!
