Postcrypt Coffeehouse

October, 1994

Michael Kovacs -- Describing his music as landing somewhere between Windham Hill and Metallica, Michael has taken his acoustic music to both coasts. Welcome him for his Postcrypt debut!
Margo Hennebach -- An accomplished pianist and guitarist, Margo blends Celtic instrumentation with jazz-inflected melodies to create a challenging folk fusion. She also has a CD out on the 1-800-PRIME-CD label.
The Low Road -- Long regarded as Philadelphia's best unsigned band, the Low Road makes their return to the Postcrypt on the eve of the official release of their debut CD on Passenger/Caroline Records. They have appeared on the Mountain Stage radio program and recently have toured with Los Lobos.

Judith Kate Friedman -- Lyllabyes, Odetta, Belafonte and Vivaldi, songs of labor and civil rights all inspired New York-born Judith Kate to sing, play, write and perform. Now based in San Francisco, she recently released her debut CD, "Count Me In."
Raymond Gonzalez and Amy Malkoff -- This Boston-based duo will impress you with their beautiful harmonies and stirring melodies. They have just released their debut CD, "On The Water," and they also appear on Christine Lavin's "When October Goes" compilation.
Steve Packanham -- A songwriter whose inspiration stems from diverse talents such as Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen and Miles Davis, Steve recently relocated to Berkeley, CA but will be stopping by during his trip back east.
Dave's True Story -- Winners of the New Folk competition at this year's Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, Dave's True Story consists of vocalist Kelly Flint and guitarist/vocalist David Cantor. Their sound combines the joyous innocence of the 40's with a deadpan contemporary irony of the 90's.

Open Stage -- Folk, blues, bluegrass, jazz, reggae -- you name it! We also welcome poets, storytellers, actors, comics, and performers of all kinds. Performances start at 9:00; sign-up begins promptly at 8:45. Eight to ten minute limit.

Jay Mankita -- Jay sings songs about love and loss, peace, justice, personal politics, and other time-honored themes. He's also a favorite at the annual Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in upstate New York.
Pierce Pettis -- Hailing all the way from Atlanta, High Street recording artist Pierce Pettis is a genious at writing his own music, and he also does great covers. We are fortunate to have him at the Postcrypt on the same weekend that he will be in town playing at Carnegie Hall.

Jane Lippman -- Singer-songwriter, Barnard '93.
Frank Tedesso -- Frank is an original and riveting songwriter and performer who has appeared on many Fast Folk recordings -- including our own
Live at the Postcrypt Coffeehouse.
Mark Berger -- Veteren of NYC scene.
Hugh Pool -- Catch these traditional and original blues from a Postcrypt favorite. He's got some of the hottest guitar sounds around, and then some! Hugh recently released a new CD, Spirits Treat Me Gently.

Jim Allen -- NY singer-songwriter.
Lynne Saner -- Originally from Northampton, MA but now based in Boston, Lynne's voice is described as "mesmerizing" and "crystal clear." You're guarented to enjoy her irresistable melodies, songwriting, and stage presence!
Dorothy Scott -- Celtic-influenced singer-songwriter, she will be bringing some friends to back her!
NOTE: The show originally scheduled with Andrew Calhoun & Kat Eggleston has been cancelled and will be rescheduled.

Beverly Greenfield -- Beverly ran the Postcrypt for several years, and now she returns to show off her own singing and songwriting. She is also fondly remembered for introducing Pop Tarts onto the Postcrypt menu.
Jeff Wilkinson -- Jeff's bluesy, poetic ballads have been compared to those of John Prine and Bob Dylan. He's appeared throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Jim Infantino -- Jim gives an edgy, bizarre performance, neighboring on comedy but not satire. He recently appeared at Lincoln Center's "Boston Tea Party" outdoor music series. He also wears a really big pair of pants.

"P.S. I'm Gay" -- Outmusic is an organization based in Greenwich Village and dedicated to creating opportunities for lesbian and gay composers, lyricists, and musicians. Performers on this special night include irreverant and sassy Melinda Di Maio, vocalist Amy Fix with guitarist Sam Fenster, blues bassist Nedra Johnson, warm and wry Grant King, singer-songwriter Larry Langham, and country-influenced Paul Warren.
