The Songwriter's Beat Wednesday May 18 8:30pm
at The Cornelia Street Cafe
Seth Davis John Montgomery Ann Klein Naked Albert
Seth Davis with Edgar Patterson Mills on bass Smart & sappy New York alt-folk poet SETH DAVIS' 300+ songs explode with the confessional discourse of everyman. Family, spirit, suffering, bliss, sex, betrayal & love du jour are fair game for Davis' lyrical wit & wisdom & his honest, passionate delivery. An accomplished vegan chef, environmental & animal rights activist, Davis has played hundreds of gigs from the subways of London to New Yorks best acoustic venues.....toured the eastern U.S. & Northern California in 2003. His 2001 debut release 'Without Annette' received critical acclaim & the long anticipated 'Prettier Than Blue' is due summer 2005 & features several collaborative works with Jim White, cellist Stephanie Winters & others. Songs & more at http://www.sethdavis.com
John Montgomery JOHN MONTGOMERY's unique perspective as a songwriter is partly due to his training as a biologist. He earned a bachelor's degree in genetics and a doctorate in neurobiology before dedicating himself to a career in music. John's critically-acclaimed debut CD, “One Step Away," has been called “poetic and mysterious, “brilliant," and “hauntingly beautiful." http://johnmontgomery.com
Ann Klein ANN KLEIN has played guitar for Joan Osborne, PM Dawn and Kate Pierson, among others. She's also toured in Europe playing her original music and has released three independent cds, which have been featured in Billboard, but she feels most proud of her ability to wah-wah her way out of any solo, any time. http://www.ann-klein.com
Naked Albert NAKED ALBERT is all about original acoustic soul folk…foot stomping, funny face making, gut twisting, libido liberating original songs straight from his warm chewy center. Having appeared on UMO’s Bestof NYC CD, Albert is attracting the attention of the major records labels. Look for a full-length debut CD later this year. Albert proudly endorses K & K Sound guitar pickups, and uses Martin gu itars. - bios submitted by each artist -
$5 cover - $6 minimum (minimum can be towards food or drinks - the food is exquisite!)
Curated / hosted by multiple ASCAP Pop Award winner Valerie Ghent, The Songwriter's Beat is New York's most popular acoustic songwriter's night series - where songwriters are encouraged to perform new material in a supportive and intimate atmosphere. Since December, 2000, over 185 songwriters have presented new songs from The Songwriter's Beat stage! For more information on how to submit your music for consideration, please visit http://songwritersbeat.com Valerie Ghent has dedicated her life to creating music, performing around the world, and encouraging others' creative energy though music events. A native downtown New Yorker with a strikingly powerful voice, a funk-blues piano style and “soul-stirring, uplifting songs full of vitality and joy", Valerie's performances have been described as “truly great and invigorating", “absolutely magnificant", “amazingly gifted" and, “an inspiration, Valerie is an unsung hero (who sings!!)". Valerie has worked with Songwriter's Hall of Fame inductees Ashford & Simpson since 1989, runs her own independent record label, West Street Records, curates music events at The Cornelia St Cafe, organizes benefit concerts, works with several non-profit organizations, is finishing her fourth CD release and has photographs included in various publications and at the Westbeth Gallery. http://valghent.com
