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.
http://www.thepeasants.net 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!!!
