SUMMARY:CANCELLLED DUE TO WEATHER - Jillith Fair - Jill Sobule Tribute at Fallser - Details below - New Date TBD
DESCRIPTION:Jillith Cancelation Information\nWith deep sadness and an impending snowstorm\, The Jill Sobule Foundation has decided to cancel the Jillith Fair show at The Fallser Club on Saturday\, January 24th\, 2026. We know Jill would never want to be the cause of anyone’s stress or potential danger\, and would want to keep audiences and performers alike out of harm’s way. Most of the performers would be heading home to NYC after the show\, and we cannot risk putting anyone in danger due to the storm\, as NY and NJ have already declared a state of emergency. \nWe will reschedule the show (TBD 2026) Jim Boggia and the Jill Sobule Foundation team are already looking into future dates. We will post more information as it becomes available. Messages will go out to all ticket holders from The Fallser Club. \n  \nTicket holders can:\n1. Contact the Fallser Club for a refund. director@thefallserclub.com \n2. Hold on to their ticket to use on the rescheduled date. If the new date announced doesn’t work\, they can get a refund at that time. \n3. They can donate their ticket price to Jill’s foundation. Let the Fallser know\, and we will pass that money on to the foundation. \nIf you have any further questions\, please reach out to The Fallser Club. \nThank you for your understanding. \nAshana\, Jim Boggia\, The Jill Sobule Foundation\, all the Jillith musicians\, and the entire Fallser Club staff. \nStay safe\, everyone. \n\n\nA night celebrating the life and music of our friend\, Jill\, hosted by Jim Boggia and Marykate O’Neil.\n\nTickets $20 online\, $25 at the doo\nTickets for good\, not greed \n100% of profits from your small booking fee helps fund charities providing education\, healthcare and basic necessities to humans across the globe! \nPerformers:\n\nTracy Bonham\nJonathan Coulton\nDave Derby\nJacob Lawson\nJames Mastro\nTammy Faye Starlight\nDavid Weisberg\n\n  \n \nJill Sobule’s work was at once deeply personal and socially conscious\, seriously funny and derisively tragic. In a dozen albums spanning three decades of recording\, the Denver-born songwriter/guitarist/singer has tackled such topics as the death penalty\, anorexia nervosa\, shoplifting\, reproduction\, the French Resistance\, adolescent malaise\, LGBTQ issues\, and the Christian Right. Her hits include “I Kissed A Girl”—the first openly gay-themed song ever to crack the Billboard Top 20—and the alt-rock anthem “Supermodel” featured in the film Clueless. Sobule was one half of The Jill & Julia Show\, providing music while actor Julia Sweeney contributes storytelling. Jill is considered a pioneer in crowdfunding and is constantly exploring and creating new models for artists in an ever-changing music industry. \nJill’s new record\, F*ck 7th Grade – Original Cast Recording and will be released on her own Pinko Records label on June 6th. Her theater credits included a musical adaptation of the Broadway classic Yentl\, Prozak and the Platypus\, and Times Square. In November of 2019 Jill sang a song as herself on an episode of the Simpsons.  F*ck 7th Grade ran off-Broadway for four (4) runs in three (3) years and gained a New York Times Critics Pick. Drama Desk nominated this autobiographical musical\, which premiered at the Wild Project in 2022; had a reboot in the Winter of 2023 – and ran again for three weeks in 2024. \nAlso on June 6th\, Rhino Records is releasing her self-titled Atlantic Records album on red vinyl for the first time – to time with Pride Month! This year marks the album’s 30th Anniversary! \nFollowing her untimely demise on May 1st\, many of her previously scheduled shows have morphed into Jillith Fair – Loving Jill Sobule shows\, benefiting the new It Was A Good Life Foundation. Funds will be distributed by this foundation to the ACLU and other causes Jill cared deeply about. The hope is that these shows will become annual events on her birthday\, January 16th & during Pride Month in the future. \nJill left behind two partially completed  albums\, 50-70+ finished tracks\, hundreds of demos\, and a few titles that had fallen out of print. Plus\, we’re hoping a tribute album will take shape for release to time with a feature length documentary on her that should be completed by years’ end. We hope to help keep her spirit\, memory\, & music alive. \n“Jill Sobule can claim her place among the stellar New York singer-songwriters of the last decade. Topical\, funny and more than a little poignant …grown-up music for an adolescent age.” – The New York Times \nWhen Jill performed at the Fallser Club in 2024\, our Executive Director Ashana Larsen had the chance to sit down and talk with her about her amazing career\, changing the world\, losing things\, and gaining ourselves. Take a listen to the podcast episode below: https://youtu.be/pwWNa7Zl4Bk. \nTo celebrate the life and work of Jill Sobule\, her family and friends have established two funds: \nThe It Was a Good Life Foundation will distribute donations to the ACLU and other charitable causes Jill cared deeply about. \nIn both her songs and life\, Jill was an outspoken activist for the political and cultural topics she believed in. This foundation will \ndistribute all donations to charitable causes that Jill deeply cared and sang about. All donations to the It Was A Good Life Foundation will go to qualified public charities. \nPLEASE DONATE HERE – https://secure.lawpay.com/pages/hertzlichtensteinyoungyoungllp/trust-2-card \nThe Jill Sobule Legacy Fund. All donations will go to the furtherance of Jill’s songbook. Jill left behind two partially completed albums\, \nOver 70 partially finished tracks\, hundreds of demos and at least four musicals. Her loved ones hope to keep her spirit\, memory and music alive by releasing this work. \nPLEASE DONATE HERE – https://secure.lawpay.com/pages/hertzlichtensteinyoungyoungllp/trust-1 \nJim Boggia\n \n  \nFor more than 20 years\, Jim Boggia has been winning over fans\, critics\, contemporaries and luminaries alike with his uncompromising devotion to the sort of winsomely nostalgic\, emotionally direct songcraft that’s impervious to age. His sonically intelligent retro-pop manifesto informs three studio albums—2001’s Fidelity Is the Enemy\, 2005’s Safe in Sound and 2008’s Misadventures in Stereo—and he’s worked with a startling array of artists\, including Aimee Mann\, Juliana Hatfield\, Mike Viola\, Tracy Bonham\, Bernadette Peters\, David Poe\, NRBQ’s Big Al Anderson\, famed Beach Boys lyricist Tony Asher\, MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer\, Attractions drummer Pete Thomas\, esteemed ’70s pop misfit Emitt Rhodes\, and Canadian songstress Amanda Marshall. Also an accomplished singer and guitarist\, Boggia performs with the well-known New York City-based Beatles tribute band\, the Fab Faux\, as well as Mad Dogs & Dominos\, an 18-piece collective headed by a heavyweight roster that includes Blues Brothers alum Lou Marini and producer John Leventhal. Oh\, and he plays a mean ukulele. \nhttps://www.jimboggiamusic.com/ \nhttps://jimboggia.bandcamp.com/ \nhttps://open.spotify.com/search/jim%20boggia \n@jimboggia \nMarykate O’Neil\n \n  \nMulti-media artist\, Marykate O’Neil\,  has released six albums\, a few cassettes\, and a couple of .45’s.  Her music has been played on the radio\, internets and has been featured in movies and television. Marykate has performed throughout the U.S. and Europe to big festival crowds and to empty seats in darkened basements.  Her paintings are exhibited throughout NYC’s galleries and are held in private and University collections. \nMarykate’s music has been described as  — Elvis Costello meets Astrud Gilberto; a female George Harrison; a happy Aimee Mann; a folk Bjork; a Capote-esque storyteller; and most frequently like herself. The Boston Globe might have said it best (or at least the funniest) when they said: “O’Neil’s literate lyrics feature the sort of off-kilter insights Emily Dickinson might make if alive today. After listening to commercial radio\, hearing O’Neil sing is like reading Sylvia Path’s brutally honest poetry in the wake of watching “American Idol”. \nTracy Bonham\n \n  \nTwo time GRAMMY® nominee Tracy Bonham is a classically trained violinist\, pianist\, and vocalist turned alt-rock singer-songwriter. \nBonham’s debut\, The Burdens of Being Upright (Island Records)\, achieved Gold Record status in 1996 spawning the chart-topping hit “Mother Mother” which has remained a powerful anthem for disenfranchised youth all over the world. \nDave Derby\n \nDerby serves as a songwriter and producer for Gramercy Arms\, a New York City musical and artist collective featuring members of Luna\, Elk City\, The Dambuilders\, Guided by Voices\, Shudder to Think\, Joan As Police Woman\, Mascott\, Sparklehorse and A Girl Called Eddy\, as well as notable artists such as Lloyd Cole\, Tanya Donelly\, Matthew Caws\, Doug Gillard\, Diesel and Kay Hanley. Derby has also produced albums for Reveal Records. \nJohathan Coulton\n \nJonathan Coulton is a singer-songwriter and cult favorite known for witty\, emotionally resonant songs that bridge geek culture\, storytelling\, and pop craftsmanship. A former software coder\, he found his creative calling in the early 2000s\, inspired by the rise of Creative Commons and the DIY possibilities of the internet. In 2005\, he quit his day job and launched Thing-A-Week\, releasing a new song every week and building a devoted online audience that helped redefine how independent musicians connect with fans. \nBlending humor and heart\, Coulton’s songs often explore big ideas through offbeat characters—resentful teen nerds\, lonely supervillains\, even singing shop vacs—while touching on deeper themes of identity\, connection\, and technology. Over the years\, he’s evolved from acoustic storyteller to ambitious conceptualist\, collaborating with artists like John Flansburgh (Artificial Heart) and experimenting with new sonic landscapes. \nHis concept album Solid State (with a companion graphic novel by Matt Fraction and Albert Monteys) is a meditation on how the internet has transformed from utopian promise to digital dystopia. Mixing rock-opera ambition with electronic experimentation\, it explores themes of surveillance\, identity\, connection\, and apocalypse—told from both human and machine perspectives. Songs like “All This Time\,” “Brave\,” and “Don’t Feed the Trolls” probe our fractured online culture\, while “Ball and Chain” and “Tattoo” tackle intimacy and permanence in a changing world. \nCoulton continues to push the boundaries of songwriting\, using humor\, empathy\, and sharp observation to illuminate the complicated relationships between technology\, humanity\, and hope. \nhttps://www.jonathancoulton.com/ \nDave Derby \n  \n \n  \nDerby serves as a songwriter and producer for Gramercy Arms\, a New York City musical and artist collective featuring members of Luna\, Elk City\, The Dambuilders\, Guided by Voices\, Shudder to Think\, Joan As Police Woman\, Mascott\, Sparklehorse and A Girl Called Eddy\, as well as notable artists such as Lloyd Cole\, Tanya Donelly\, Matthew Caws\, Doug Gillard\, Diesel and Kay Hanley. Derby has also produced albums for Reveal Records. \nRafa Maciejak\n \nRafa Maciejak is a musician known for drumming with 90s indie band Ivy\, playing with Lloyd Cole and being part of the rotating cast for Gramercy Arms. He now fronts the electronic/indie \nproject PLSTC\, shifting from behind the drums to create music with new wave/post-punk influences\, alongside vocalist Shimme\, exploring modern themes. \nJames Mastro\n \n  \nJames Mastro – guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist\, producer\, and acclaimed singer-songwriter – has toured the world with rock and pop icons including Patti Smith\, Ian Hunter\, Judy Collins\, John Cale\, The Jayhawks\, Alejandro Escovedo\, Garland Jeffreys\, and Jesse Malin\, even serving as musical director for Robert Plant. Known for his inventive\, emotive playing — channeling the spirit of David Bowie and Mick Ronson — Mastro steps firmly into the spotlight with his MPress Records release\, Dawn of a New Error. \nThe album’s 10 tracks balance twangy Americana with art-rock edge\, showcasing Mastro’s sharp songwriting\, textural guitar work\, and hook-filled melodies. Produced by Tony Shanahan and mixed by Grammy nominee James Frazee\, the record features appearances by Ian Hunter and a lineup of powerhouse drummers. Highlights include the anthemic opener “Right Words\, Wrong Song\,” the introspective “My God\,” and the gospel-tinged “Someday Someone Will Turn Your Head Around.” \nA fixture of the New York music scene since his teens\, Mastro began playing CBGB’s and Max’s Kansas City at 16\, joined Richard Lloyd’s band by 17\, and later helped launch the Hoboken sound with The Bongos. In the ’90s\, he fronted alt-country favorites The Health & Happiness Show before becoming a longtime collaborator with Ian Hunter and contributing to projects by Jill Sobule\, Phoebe Snow\, and The Feelies. \nDawn of a New Error affirms Mastro’s place as one of America’s most versatile and passionate rock artists — a lifelong fan who never stopped sneaking onto the stage. \nTara Murtha\n Lisa Schaffer Photography \nTara Murtha is an author\, essayist\, Bobbie Gentry evangelist\, on-stage interview & moderator (for hire!)\, off-stage musician\, public speaker\, abortion rights & queer equality advocate\, and comms person\, pop culture enthusiast\, working cat mom\, and public interest communications expert writing\, cooking\, and learning how to use power tools in Philadelphia\, USA. \nPast lives: Award-winning investigative journalist and city columnist\, Ochberg Fellow at the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma at the University of Columbia Graduate School of Journalism\, college writing instructor\, arts editor\, equal pay demander\, alt-weekly alum. \nhttps://www.taramurtha.com/ \nTammy Faye Starlight\n \nPhoto by John Huntington \nTammy Faye Starlight is the stage name for T.

SUMMARY:Jaffna and Grupo Sumak De Philadelphia at The Fallser
DESCRIPTION:Winter solstice is the darkest day of the year. In the darkness\, there is an opportunity to let go of things that no longer serve us. It also represents the return of the light\, and there is an opportunity to call in what we need.\nWe look forward to celebrating this opportunity to heal and set our intentions for the year to come. Bring your bright spirit to help us collectively illuminate the darkness together.\n  \nJaffna\n\nJaffna is an acoustic\, ethnic fusion ensemble that plays original music. This Philadelphia-based world music ensemble combines instrumentation and influences from the Middle East\, India\, and anywhere else that inspires them. With roots in the early 1990s\, the group maintains its distinct style with original compositions and improvisations that stretch the boundaries of their respective cultures.

SUMMARY:The Fallser Presents Judy Paster and The Fractals
DESCRIPTION:Tickets $20 online and $25 at the door (Online tickets end at 6pm on the day of the show.)\nDoors at 7pm\nTickets\n \nTickets for good\, not greed \n100% of profits from your small booking fee helps fund charities providing education\, healthcare and basic necessities to humans across the globe! \n  \n10% off Taqueria Crestawith your Fallser Club ticket!!\n  \nJudy Paster\n  \nJudy Paster is a Nashville-based\, Pennsylvania-grown Americana artist whose music carries the soul of her story—honest\, authentic\, and full of hope. She began writing songs at age 8\, using music to process pain\, faith\, and a longing for peace after a childhood marked by trauma and loss. Later\, her father’s battle with Alzheimer’s and a season of living on the road out West further shaped both her heart and her voice. \nHer debut with The Judy Paster Trio features two Grammy-winning members of The Time Jumpers\, weaving fiddle\, upright bass\, and acoustic guitar into a rich\, rootsy sound. Her songs have been featured in film and TV (Christmas Crush\, The Holiday Exchange\, Music City Mistletoe)\, and she first gained national attention when Billboard called her “an artist truly on the rise” following the release of her debut EP. Since moving to Nashville\, Judy has earned airplay\, carved out a place in the singer-songwriter scene\, and received multiple awards\, including the 2021 Josie Music Award for Folk/Americana Artist of the Year and a Canadian Covenant Award (Canada’s equivalent of the Dove Award) for co-writing Jazz Blues Song of the Year. \nShe has written and shared stages with some of Music City’s top writers\, released five albums (Judy Paster\, Stronger\, Rubies\, Rocks & Stones\, Like Stardust\, Road to the Sun)\, and several singles. Judy is also part of Women Behind the Lyrics—a national tour and upcoming reality TV series that follows the lives of\nfour female Country artists living and touring together. \nShe frequently performs at the world-famous Bluebird Cafe and has graced many of Nashville’s premier stages. Through it all\, her music remains a steady companion—for herself and for others—offering light\, strength\, and something real in a world that too often sells the opposite. \n \n \n  \n@judypastermusic \nInstagram \nFacebook \nSpotify \nYouTube  \n  \n  \nThe Fractals\n   \nPhotos: Lisa Schaffer \nGuess what happens when a trio of three martini lunches staggers toward a ragged copy of “Respect For Acting\,” stumbling over bellbottom into plasticine porters\, hissing like 8-Tracks\, knocking over emo kids with Flying Vees? The Fractals\, that’s what happens\, and they have been happening for ten years. Tearing it up mercilessly in a cyclonic maelstrom of Stevie-cum-Angus-cum-Fagan\, with outer bands of Zeppelin and Trane\, the whirling dervish that is The Fractals is not to be ignored. Kevin Hanson\, lead singer and songwriter\, has performed and recorded with the likes of Usher\, Jay-Z\, The Roots\, Musiq Soulchild and countless others. He appears in the acclaimed films “Fade To Black” as a band member for Jay-Z’s “farewell concert) and Dave Chappelle’s “Block Party” as a member of the house band . His distinctive songwriting is what has drawn so many to both Huffamoose and his current band. His compositions and masterful guitar playing are the spinal cord of The Fractals. Jim Stager\, bassist\, has performed and recorded with hundreds of artists\, ranging from Rosemary Clooney (!) to the legendary punk band “X”. His mastery of rock and jazz merge in a style that has earned him a place in the pantheon of Philadelphia’s notable session greats. \nErik Johnson\, drummer\, has performed or recorded with countless artists in myriad styles. His credits include: Ben Schachter’s Trio of Many\, George Garzone\, Tim Hagans\, Jack Walrath\, Gary Bartz\, John Swana\, Jef Lee Johnson\, Ralph Bowen\, Larry McKenna\, Jim Ridl\, Jamaaladeen Tacuma\, Kurt Elling\, Gerald Veasley\, Lelia Broussard\, Liz Longley. In addition to his legendary status as a jazz virtuoso\, his drumming has served  as the heartbeat for a striking range of\nPhiladelphia’s singer-songwriter community. His fiercely original expressiveness on drums and soaring background vocals have\nbecome vital to The Fractals’ sound. The Fractals have recently completed their first full-length offering\, “Heavy Rotation” and are currently performing in the Philly area in support of their new release. Their live performances are not to be missed\, and their shows have gained notoriety among local musicians and fans alike as remarkable musical events. \n \n  \n  \nWebsite: https://thefractalsband.com/\nYouTube\nFacebook\nInstagram

SUMMARY:The Fallser Presents  - Philly Gumbo: New Orleans R & B\, Funk\, Reggae\, Blues and Soul
DESCRIPTION:Tickets $20 online and $25 at the door \n  \nTicket\n(opens in a new tab) \nTickets for good\, not greed\nWe have partnered with Humanitix. 100% of profits from your small booking fee helps fund charities providing education\, healthcare\, and basic necessities to humans across the globe!\n\n10% off Taqueria Crestawith your Fallser Club ticket!!\n  \nPhilly Gumbo’s distinctive blend of New Orleans R & B\, funk\, reggae\, blues and soul has made it a unique and popular presence on the Philadelphia music scene for thirty years.  Over the years\, the band has been a “Best Of” selection by Philadelphia Magazine in their annual “Best Of Philadelphia” issues as well as having played most of the top venues in the area such as The Kimmel Center\, The Sellersville Theater and World Café Live and such major events as the Atlantic City Summer Jazz Festival\, Musikfest\,  Jambalaya Jam\, Jam On The River\, WRTI-FM’s Groovin’ In The Park\, the Media Blues Stroll\, The West Oak Lane Jazz & Arts Festival and many more. Philly Gumbo has opened for such greats as Dr. John\, Buddy Guy &  Jr. Wells\, Rick Danko & Levon Helm of The Band and Mutabaruka. Having pioneered the live music scene at the legendary South Street venue Bacchanal\, Philly Gumbo was often joined by such special guests as Todd Rundgren\, David Lindley\, Teddy Royal of Fats Domino’s band\, members of Harold Melvin & The Blues Notes’ band and others.  In addition\, members of Philly Gumbo have played with such legends as Little Milton\, Wilson Pickett\, Bo Diddley and Big Youth. \n       “Philly Gumbo’s long-term popularity has come from two things\,” notes founding member Randall Grass: “an ability to play an authentic and unique mix of New Orleans \nR & B\, funk\, reggae\, blues and soul\, and the presence of great singers\, such as Brenda Smith\, Walt Taylor\, Jeannie Brooks\, Richard Johnson\, and current lead vocalist India Rex.” \n     Formed in late 1980\, the band quickly developed a following at the Germantown club \nTakers Café with a unique mix of music reminiscent of New Orleans group The Neville Brothers.  As such\, the group pioneered the popularity of New Orleans music in Philadelphia\, with a celebrated weekly gig at Bacchanal for nearly a decade. The band released its debut single “Holy War b/w Mardi Gras” in 1984 and contributed the original song “Xmas In New Orleans” to the Seasons Greetings Philadelphia benefit CD in 1999. \nFour members of  Philly Gumbo—drummer Tim Hayes\, bassist Bert Harris\, guitarist Pete Eshelman and keyboardist Randall Grass–have been the core of the band since the beginning while saxophonist Richard Orr often sat in with the band as early as the 80’s and vocalist extraordinaire India Rex\, is the latest in a long line of exceptional vocalists. The band released a new CD “Come And Get It” in 2011. A Philly Gumbo performance makes a great listening experience\, with its ever-shifting mix of New Orleans R & B\, blues\, jazz\, funk\, reggae\, soul\, and even African music\, but is equally suited for dancing. \nThe band appeals to a people of all ages and backgrounds. In fact\, it is difficult to resist getting up and shaking your groove thing to Philadelphia’s greatest groove band! \nFacebook

Be the trick or the treat!!\n  \nFlamy Grant\n© Weeno Photography 2024\nAward-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying\, hip-swaying\, singing-songwriting drag queen from western North Carolina. Her 2022 debut record\, Bible Belt Baby\, was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards and was named one of the Top Ten Queer Country Albums of 2023 by Rainbow Rodeo Magazine. Flamy is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition and a nominee for the 2023 QueerX Award for Best Drag Artist. She has been featured in Rolling Stone\, Entertainment Weekly\, People\, Billboard\, and more. Both a powerhouse vocalist and an intrepid songwriter\, Flamy blends the art of drag with her iconic folk/rock sound to create a memorable musical experience. \nFlamy is the first drag performer to appear on Christian music charts\, with both her song “Good Day” and her Album Bible Belt Baby reaching #1 on iTunes — the latter staying at the top for nine consecutive days. Additionally\, “Good Day” debuted at #20 on Billboard’s Christian digital sales chart. Her music has over 750\,000 streams on Spotify\, Apple\, and Amazon. Flamy has collaborated with Adeem the Artist\, Jennifer Knapp\, Semler\, and Derek Webb. In addition to playing the New Folk winner’s showcase at the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival\, she has played Wild Goose Festival in North Carolina\, San Diego Pride’s SheFest\, and headlined Blount County Pride in East Tennessee\, where she won a court victory after a local district attorney threatened to enforce Tennessee’s drag ban. \nIt’s no accident that Flamy’s drag name is an homage to Amy Grant\, the undisputed queen of Christian music and 90s chart-topping pop artist. Much of Flamy’s music centers on the queer spiritual journey\, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma in a world where LGBTQ+ people are frequently ignored by\, harmed in\, or ejected from religious spaces. With a bold lip\, a big lash\, and a blistering voice\, Flamy drags audiences to a soulful\, uplifting church of her own making. This down-to-earth diva has entertained music lovers from Los Angeles to Nashville with her funny\, frank\, and fabulous songs. \n“Her vocals soar… A mix of Wynona Judd smokiness and Dolly Parton realness.

But rather than simply hosting a concert\, Mae—queer indie-pop songwriter and social justice activist—will be transforming her show into a space for resilience\, connection\, and collective healing\, creating a powerful community gathering within The Fallser Club. \nKnown for her powerful voice and unapologetic anthems\, Heather Mae has spent 13 years touring as both an artist and activist. This immersive event includes a one-hour pre-show community gathering—a safe\, empowering space for reflection and healing\, where Mae\, a seasoned song chant leader\, leads a support circle\, chant workshop\, and meditation open to all ticket buyers. Following this\, she will deliver a concert\, debuting songs from her new double album. \nHeather will strengthen community ties and promote a night of mutual care and collective empowerment. \nHeather Mae is an evocative powerhouse rabble-rouser\nHeather Mae\, the acclaimed social justice singer-songwriter\, fearlessly bares her soul in her music\, creating an intimate space of shared vulnerability for her listeners. Her unbridled honesty\, both on and off stage\, has cultivated a devoted fanbase and garnered recognition\, including accolades like the winner of the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Showcase and Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Artist-Activist of the Year award. \nIn her 2019 release\, “Glimmer\,” Heather Mae crafts a luminescent masterpiece\, drawing parallels to vocal powerhouses Adele and Sara Bareilles. With storytelling depth reminiscent of Florence Welch\, the record uniquely centers on mental health\, with each lyric unveiling a portrait of resilience and self-discovery. \nPositioned on the cusp of unveiling her upcoming post-pandemic double record\, Mae embarked on a mission to address the stark gender disparity for music producers—a mere 4% representation by women. In 2023\, Heather Mae rallied a dynamic collective of women and non-binary talents in Nashville\, assembling luminaries like producer ZDAN and Lollies\, alongside guest artists such as Grammy award-winning musician Allison Russell and the extraordinary duo Sistastrings. Together\, they crafted two electrifying albums in two distinct genres\, showcasing the unparalleled talent and versatility of women and non-binary music makers. \n \nOfficial Website:  https://www.heathermae.net/ \nYouTube: www.youtube.com/@HeatherMae \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathermaemusic/ \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/@heathermaemusicpage/

SUMMARY:Raji Malik and Adam Monaco at The Fallser
DESCRIPTION:Go. \nYour ears will thank you. \nRaji Malik is a “music medicine” man who offers a transformational experience wherever he plays. He has performed and recorded hard rock and instrumental Indian-influenced music in the Philadelphia area for the past 30 years.  He is self-taught and began playing the guitar at the age of 19.  Raji’s initial musical influences were the great rock guitarists Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)\, Jimi Hendrix\, and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd).  Then he discovered Shakti\, featuring 3 masterful Indian musicians and guitar legend John Mclaughlin playing a modified sitar-like acoustic guitar.  Raji promptly put away his electric guitar and immersed himself in the pure tones of the acoustic guitar.  Raji finds deep inspiration in many brilliant “Modern Fingerstyle” guitarists\, all of whom are disciples of the late Michael Hedges\, who reinvented the acoustic guitar with his harmonic\, percussive playing.  Raji hopes that his music brings peace\, healing\, and inspiration. \n“Adam lives what he writes and writes what he lives\, allowing him to\ndeeply connect with those he plays for and alongside of.”\n– Trevor Gordon Hall \nThese words will certainly ring true with anyone who has experienced folk/Americana artist Adam Monaco’s thoughtful songwriting and\npoignant presence firsthand. Adam’s music is lush\, colorful\, melodic and takes root deep in the complex\, beautiful stories that connect humanity. His lyrics resonate like a conversation with an old friend: personal\, profound\, engaged\, and thought-provoking. His authentic performances showcase his ability to evoke the full range and complexity of human emotions; in one musical moment\, he can bring audiences to tears\, then lift them back up with\nwitty banter and a relatable anecdote.

SUMMARY:MUSIC IS MEDICINE WITH MICHAEL GULEZIAN\, TREVOR GORDON HALL\, AND RAJI MALIK
DESCRIPTION:Musical sound waves ripple out like water.  All of our actions ripple out into the world\, and kindness has medicinal powers\, just like music.   As these sound waves move through the air and our bodies\,  we experience relaxation\, process emotions\, and sense our interconnection.  May this music bring you a deeper appreciation of your goodness.  May we all continue to challenge ourselves to grow with honest self-reflection so that we may more clearly channel love. \n\nMichael Gulezian\n \nMichael Gulezian (gu-LAY-ze-in) is one of the most highly acclaimed solo acoustic instrumental guitarists of our time. He’s a phenomenal technical guitarist with the rare ability to transcend his own virtuosity\, creating music that touches and moves people at the deepest level – boundary-free\, mind-opening\, emotionally imbued\, horizon-expanding\, spiritually inspired\, genre-bending\, transcendent\, soulful\, joyful\, kickass\, exquisitely gorgeous instrumental solo acoustic guitar music – music that quite literally defies description. Fred Kraus\, of Minor 7th .com recently wrote that Gulezian “might be the most accomplished pure guitarist on the planet.” He’s been called the musical link between John Fahey and Michael Hedges. Artists as diverse as Michael Hedges\, Willy Porter\, and Henry Kaiser have claimed him as a primary musical influence; young lions Erik Mongrain\, Andy McKee\, and Trevor Gordon Hall are quick to acknowledge him as an inspiration. In concert\, Michael is all warmth and humor … and though it’s visually breathtaking to watch him perform\, a concert with Michael is more than a display of cutting-edge virtuosity – it is the passionate communion of master musician engaged with his audience in the mystery of self-revelation\, creating music of atmospheric power\, ecstatic joy\, and haunting beauty. Michael has an online audience at Pandora of 10\,000 monthly listeners\, and 16 million cumulative streams. If you enjoy the artistry of guitarists such as Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges – virtuoso musicians whose music touches the soul – then you will love Michael Gulezian. \n“Michael Gulezian … might be the most accomplished pure guitarist on the planet.  compositional genius. … a magisterial ode to a quiet\, breathing awe … a religious experience … the sense of a person playing a guitar disappears into the music … transcends music and reaches into the ethereal world.  … astounding … cosmic.”  – Fred Kraus\, Minor 7th .com \n“… ingenuity and mastership. Michael Gulezian uses his guitar as a medium to pour out his soul. Every note that comes from Gulezian transgresses our indoctrinated notions of what music is and what music does … name the un-nameable and communicate the unknowable.”  – The Manitou Messenger\, ST. OLAF COLLEGE \n“Gulezian rips … but for all his virtuosic ferocity\, Michael never loses sight of the melody\, or the drama of his compositions.”  – Acoustic Guitar Magazine \n“Michael Gulezian puts his entire heart and soul\, his entire being\, into every song he does live.  … incredible passion\, and unbelievable technical skill … that rare breed of artist who combines astounding virtuosity with emotional intensity.  ‘Michael Hedges Goes to Heaven’ is the most stunning guitar tribute I have ever heard.”  – Dore Stein. Producer / Host\, Tangents Music Radio \n“Michael Gulezian carries the legacy of pioneering guitarists John Fahey and Leo Kottke into the 21st century. … extraordinary talent.  … sublime control and deep absorption of disparate styles\, from the brawny soulfulness of the Delta masters\, to the ethereal arabesques of Persian court music\, to the playful syncopations of American jazz.”  – Doug DeLoach\, Creative Loafing \n“… epoch-breaking …”  – John Fahey \n“… uncommonly thoughtful and provocative … sweeping story-like melodies\, multi-dimensional epics\, and heartland hymns. … smart\, uplifting … not to be missed.”  – Jazz Times \n“… unbelievable … incredible … music from another planet.” \n– JAZZIZ Magazine \n \n  \nMichael Gulezian Socials:\nhttps://www.timbrelinemusic.com/ \nyoutube \nInstagram \npatreon \nbandcamp \npandora \nfacebook musician page \nfacebook personal \n  \nTrevor Gordon Hall\n  \nTrevor has established himself as a unique and pioneering voice on the international stage\, albeit one who speaks through his guitar and every sound that it’s capable of\, rather than words. On top of a touring calendar that’s taken him through 17 countries and counting\, his discography has amassed millions of listens and views through streaming services such as Spotify and YouTube\, allowing his music to connect meaningfully with listeners across all borders\, regardless of their language or location. Since emerging on the fringe of the Philadelphia\, USA\, music scene as a young guitar virtuoso in the early 2000s\, Trevor’s fingerpicking style of textured instrumentalism took little time to leave an impression on listeners. He was rated a top 30 under 30 guitarist by Acoustic Guitar Magazine and has shared the stage with or drawn praise from peers and guitar legends who helped blaze the path before him\, including the likes of John Mayer\, Steve Miller\, Graham Nash\, Steve Hackett\, Dar Williams\, Will Ackerman\, Pat Martino\, Stanley Jordan\, Phil Keaggy\, Tommy Emmanuel\, Pierre Bensusan and Andy McKee to name a few. He’s also been featured on NPR\, NBC\, PBS\, and many international outlets and publications around the world. While cutting his teeth in the clubs and coffeehouses of the Philadelphia suburbs early in his career\, Trevor caught the eye of ninetime Grammy award winning producer Joe Nicolo (James Taylor\, Billy Joel\, Bob Dylan) who produced two of Trevor’s releases\, “Finding My Way” and a Christmas album “Let Your Heart Be Light.” \nAs Trevor began to refine his sound and plot out his next compositions in a new decade\, he began to collaborate with various engineers to develop an instrument that combined his own redesign of the kalimba\, an African finger piano\, with an acoustic guitar. The resulting “kalimbatar” fully demonstrated Trevor’s ability to innovate as a songwriter and unlocked a new suite of sounds and textures that he was able to weave into his music. While he had explored the kalimba on earlier recordings in a limited capacity\, the kalimbatar phase of Trevor’s career was first fully realized on his 2011 Candyrat Records debut\, “Entelechy”\, which left a mark on the iTunes singer-songwriter and YouTube charts at the time\, gathering millions of views and widespread reach. Following on the success of Entelechy\, Trevor worked with master luthier Sheldon Schwartz to redesign the kalimbatar. Once perfected\, Trevor recorded his next album with longtime hero and decorated Grammy winner Will Ackerman\, the founder of Windham Hill Records\, which was a treasure trove of inspiration for Trevor on his musical journey. The resulting work\, titled “Mind Heart Fingers\,” was written to honor the acoustic guitar tradition that Windham Hill records popularized in the 1980s and 1990s. It was released in 2014 and peaked at #4 on the World International Music radio charts. This was followed up in 2015 with the first of an EP series\, titled “Kalimbatar Classics Vol. 1”\, which featured arrangements of classical piano standards reimagined by Trevor on the kalimbatar. \nNever one to rest on his laurels however\, Trevor swapped out the kalimbatar for electric guitars and electronic texturing with 2016’s “Late Night With Headphones\, Vol. 1”\, which revealed a moodier palette\, and a different side of his artistic reach. As he worked through each album on his artistic journey\, mining new connections\, it became clear that Trevor’s explorations of the guitar were leaving an impact on other artists around him. In 2018\, he was invited to share a stage with several other guitar titans\, most notably John Mayer and Steve Miller\, to honor the retirement of Dick Boak\, a renowned figure in the guitar world and an artist relations director for Martin Guitar. During that evening\, Mayer offered his admiration to Trevor\, praising his set and acknowledging Trevor’s usage of the kalimbatar as a humbling and refreshing reminder that the guitar is still revealing new approaches and sounds\, even after all of these generations. Trevor’s hard work and innovative writing had earned him recognition within the pantheon of guitar luminaries. With more command of his craft\, came more shows around the world and more opportunities to make new musical connections with other artists. Trevor has recorded and performed with dozens of musicians across the continents on a variety of different projects and compositions. \n2021’s “The Other World on Our Planet” is perhaps Trevor’s most dynamic example of branching out to new territory as a collaborator\, which saw Trevor utilizing his artistry to support a different discipline: investigative journalism. The EP serves as a musical compliment to The Outlaw Ocean\, a New York Times bestselling book about lawlessness on international waters by awardwinning reporter Ian Urbina. After several years of a life lived loudly — performing his music around the world and immersing himself in different cultures\, sounds and experiences — Trevor retreated to the solitude of his Pennsylvania home for his next solo album\, “This Beautiful Chaos.” Written in the early morning hours while his wife and daughter slept\, then recorded with Grammy winning Corin Nelsen\, the album finds him at his most vulnerable\, contemplating these growth experiences and channeling them into a set of warm\, vibrant songs. This is the sound of an artist who is fully confident in his voice\, free within his constraints and precise in what he has to say\, seasoned by years of literally growing up on record and stage. It’s a tantalizing signpost of what he’s capable of in the years ahead. Trevor’s style is recognizably his own\, but the next note he plays is never predictable\, or the obvious choice. This is a musical career you’ll want to stick around for\, because the next show or the next song is always a new possibility \n \n“…In the genre of intriguing guitar players Trevor really stands out. His music is both soothing and challenging…” Graham Nash – Crosby\, Still\, and Nash \n“…Creative imagination resides\, as well as flourishes within certain artists\, and it certainly does so in Trevor Gordon Hall. Ingenuity is something that always causes surprise\, and this gentleman’s abilities are totally exceptional…” Pat Martino – Jazz Guitarist \n“…Trevor Gordon Hall is clearly talented and his music is engaging…an innovative approach…a great musician and I recommend anyone listens to his new album…” Steve Hackett – Guitarist from Genesis \n“Trevor is very skilled…his compositions are beautiful\, atmospheric\, open and heart-felt…I admire him very much…I know he will have audiences falling over themselves to see him again and again…” Tommy Emmanuel – Award Winning Guitar Virtuoso \nTrevor Gordon Hall’s Social Media:\nInstagram  \nFacebook  \nTwitter \nYouTube \n  \nRaji Malik\n \nRaji Malik has performed and recorded hard rock and instrumental Indian-influenced music in the Philadelphia area for the past 30 years.  He is self-taught and started playing guitar when he was 19.  Raji’s initial musical influences were the great rock guitarists Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)\, Jimi Hendrix\, and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd).  Then he discovered Shakti\, featuring 3 masterful Indian musicians and guitar legend John Mclaughlin playing a modified sitar-like acoustic guitar.  Raji promptly put away his electric guitar and immersed himself in the pure tones of the acoustic guitar.  Raji finds deep inspiration from many brilliant “Modern Fingerstyle” guitarists who are all disciples of the late Michael Hedges\, who reinvented the acoustic guitar with his harmonic percussive playing.  Raji hopes that his music brings peace\, healing\, and inspiration. \nMay this music bring you an appreciation of your goodness and a deeper sense of interconnection.  May we all continue to challenge ourselves to grow with honest self-reflection so that we may more clearly channel love.  That is why we are here. \n \nRaji Malik Social:\nInstagram \nFacebook \n
