SUMMARY:Jess Klein with Ben Shaw Opening
DESCRIPTION:Our Fall Season is turning out to be a reunion of sorts with artists who have been on our stage a few times over the past 25 years. Jess Klein is no exception to this reunion. It has been well over 15 years or more since she has played Stone Soup Coffeehouse. She has since produced eleven albums and she has pursued a creative evolution that has seen her delve into her own empowerment for emotional insight while continuing to refine her eloquent melodic\, effortlessly accessible song-craft. Jess will be at Stone Soup Coffeehouse on Saturday November 9\, 2024 at 7 pm. \n\n  \n\nAbout Jess\nSinger-songwriter Jess Klein – whom the New York Times calls “a songwriter with a voice of unblinking tenacity” – has always used music to dream her way forward. Over multiple decades and 11 albums\, Klein has pursued a creative evolution that has seen her delve into her own empowerment for emotional insights\, while continuing to refine her eloquently melodic\, effortlessly accessible song–craft. \nThe Bluegrass Situation hails her work as “one part grassroots social activism\, two parts alt-country guitar rock — a combo we can certainly get behind.” Klein’s new album\, When We Rise\, harnesses this potent combination with themes of empowerment and the joy of overcoming set to a dynamic and deeply introspective roots-inflected soundtrack. \nAbout Ben\nBen Shaw is a Rhode Island based Americana/Folk singer and songwriter whose unique voice stretches over a wide range of music. His authentic\, sincere performances feature heartfelt stories\, infectious melodies\, intricate lyrics\, witty banter\, and well-crafted songs that explore myriad faces of hope and heartache. He has been a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition as well as received multiple nominations in Motif Magazine’s Music Awards for Best Singer/Songwriter\, Best Americana Vocalist\, and Best Album.

SUMMARY:Les Sampou - Nov. 16\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Showtime: 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7.\n\n\n\n\n\nLes Sampou (pronounced “Less Sampoo”) is an Americana singer-songwriter\, who got her start in the Boston folk scene and moved on to national prominence and acclaim. Sampou has performed at Montreal Jazz Festival\, SXSW\, Toronto Blues Festival\, Kerrville Folk Festival (where she won the New Folk Songwriting Award)\, Philadelphia Folk Festival\, Winnipeg\, and Falcon Ridge to name a few. Sampou has conducted workshops at Berklee School of Music and appeared on top syndicated radio programs such as Acoustic Cafe\, World Cafe\, and NPR. Sampou has released seven albums\, five on her own label and two on Rounder Records. Her album\, “Fall from Grace”\, topped the Gavin Americana Charts nationwide. Her release “Lonesomeville” charted number 2 on the US/European Americana F.A.R. Charts and led to her performance at the SXSW Conference in Austin\, TX. To date\, Sampou has released seven albums of original material (See Sales on Menu). In 2021\, Les won the 26th Annual International Songwriters Award for lyric writing for her song “LIES FROM TRUTH.” \nSampou\, who lives on the South Shore of Boston\, began playing in the streets in what she terms as “relatively late in life.” At twenty five\, when all her friends were getting married\, buying houses and planning for kids\, Sampou started playing guitar and writing\, hitting the pavement to Harvard Square\, the tunnels of the MBTA subway\, and anywhere she could open her case for coin and applause. It was there she found her voice and polished her guitar playing and wrote the first of her prolific collection of songs\, many of which you will find on this site organized by genre. \nAfter cutting her teeth in the streets\, Les began playing area clubs\, doing the 9 pm – 1 am shifts for little or no cash that she sums up as “paying her dues.” After a couple years of the club scene\, Sampou found the coffeehouse scene. She describes this period by saying\, “Being in front of a listening audience was nerve wracking; my hands would shake and my voice would seize up. But I was hooked.” Les worked her stage fright and didn’t stop writing. Her first album “SWEET PERFUME” caught the attention of legendary DJ Dick Pleasants and it soon was on the doorstep of Rounder Records where she was immediately signed. Rounder released “Fall From Grace” and it hit the top of the charts of Gavin Americana Radio. \nSampou’s third disc\, the eponymously-titled album “LES SAMPOU\,” was a departure from her folk and blues sound and her penchant for rock began to color her voice and her writing. The CD was well received in the music industry despite Rounder’s reluctance to support the album as it veered too much from Sampou’s earlier album. John Black\, writing in Digital City said about the disc\, “Les Sampou’ is a remarkable CD full of the kind of songs you play over and over again. Listening to songs like ‘I Want You’ — and believe me I’ve listened to it enough to wear a groove in my CD — you can only wonder why Sampou isn’t in regular rotation on radio stations across the country. Sampou’s mature voice and intelligent heartfelt lyrics make the current flavors of the month on the radio sound like the lightweights they are.” \nSampou and Rounder parted ways and Les released her first all-acoustic\, country-blues album\, ‘BORROWED & BLUE’” on her own label\, MoNando Music. Always side-stepping categorization\, this time Sampou put out a collection of the guitar-based country-blues—original and classics—tunes that were a staple in Les’s live shows. Jay Miller\, Music Critic for The Patriot Ledger reviewed the album\, writing\, “Sampou’s guitar work is breathtaking–her six-string mentor Paul Rishell must be proud. Most notably her vocal work is thrilling\, adding layers of emotional depth to this eclectic mix of four Sampou originals\, old classics by the likes of Mississippi Fred McDowell and Blind Willie McTell and some surprises\, like Bob Dylan’s Meet Me in the Morning. An understated triumph.” \nBut\, it wasn’t until her album ‘LONESOMEVILLE\,’ that Sampou feels like she “hit her stride.” Pairing up with recording engineer Chris Rival\, Sampou and her all-star band of Boston’s cream of the crop session players (Kevin Barry/Guitars\, Mike Dinallo/Guitars\, Paul Kochanski/Bass\, Andy Plaisted/drums\, Jim Gambino/Keys\, Jimmy Ryan/Mandolin\, David Ogden and Mark Cunningham\, Vocals) recorded Lonesomeville live in two days. Ducky Carlisle\, mix engineer\, added his acclaimed rock edge to the Americana set of blues and soul-tinged country tunes. Lyrically\, Lonesomeville sums up what Sampou writes about best—love gone wrong\, hard goodbyes\, and honky tonk heartbreak.

SUMMARY:Fuzek-Rossoni 35th Anniversary & Stone Soup Benefit Concert
DESCRIPTION:While Stone Soup Coffeehouse has entered its 43th Season as a local music venue here in Rhode Island\, John Fuzek and Mary Ann Rossoni have also made their mark on the RI folk music community almost as long\, both as a duo\, as solo performers\, and as members of bands. \nThis Saturday\, November 30\, 2024 at 7 pm\, we will be presenting a very special evening of songs\, memories and community celebrating Fuzek-Rossoni’s 35 years as that folk duo (where have the years gone?). \nTickets are $35 and are available at the door or with an advanced ticket purchase through our website.

We’re so thankful for all of you! Let’s keep the music playing together.
