SUMMARY:Catie Curtis
DESCRIPTION:Catie Curtis\nCatie toured full-time in the United States and Europe for over 25 years\, releasing 14 recordings and collaborating with some of the finest musicians and producers in the country. Her songs have been featured in films and TV shows\, and she has performed several times at the White House. \nNow in private practice as a licensed marriage and family therapist\, she seeks a balance between her work as a therapist and an artist. “I still need and want to create music.

Catie Curtis pulls the walls down.” \n– Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Grammy Award–winning singer/songwriter

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:Goodnight Moonshine\, Charlie Weld opens
DESCRIPTION:Advance tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for those age 18 and under. Visit oldslooppresents.org\, John Tarr Store in Rockport\, or The Bookstore of Gloucester. The suggested contribution at the door is $20 for adults\, $5 for those age 18 and under\, and $40 for families. \nTickets and more information\nGoodnight Moonshine is a guitar and vocal duet\, and a musical marriage in all senses. The Duo combines the evocative voice and songwriting of Molly Venter\, with Eben Pariser’s adventurous guitar playing. The result is folk music with a depth of improvisation and tonal subtlety usually reserved for jazz. \nWhile Molly and Eben have been successful musicians separately\, their combined talents leave nothing more to be desired. Their relaxed harmonies and obvious chemistry leave the listener impressed by the vulnerability of the artists and hopeful that such honest communication becomes the norm and not the exception – both for musicians and marriages.

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:Emma's Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Advance tickets are $20. Visit emmasrevolution.com. Tickets at the door are $25. Masks encouraged. \nTickets\nEmma’s Revolution is excited to come to the UU Society of Rockport to raise the roof on the Saturday before Election Day! Let’s do all we can to Get Out the Vote! \nKnown for fearless\, truth-telling lyrics and melodies you can’t resist singing\, Emma’s Revolution is the dynamic\, award-winning activist duo of Pat Humphries & Sandy O. The duo are in their 20th year performing together. Emma’s Revolution’s songs have traveled around the world and have been sung for the Dalai Lama\, praised by Pete Seeger and covered by Holly Near. \nWith one eye on the news\, Emma’s Revolution consistently writes songs about critical issues happening in the world and enthusiastically lends their voices to the movements those issues inspire. “Our House is on Fire” was selected as the opening track for Hope Rises\, a compilation CD from a national nonprofit co-founded by Noel (Paul) Stookey of Peter\, Paul & Mary. “Keep on Moving Forward” opened the UN’s Committee on the Status of Women’s Bejiing+25 Conference. The song originally opened the NGO Forum of the 4th UN World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995\, becoming its unofficial anthem. Emma’s Revolution are winners of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize and the first Phil Ochs Award.  \n“Our work has always been about building connection\, love and justice through song\,” the duo says. “During this pandemic\, we have moved much of our work online\, creating opportunities for people to sing together (Zoom-style)\, use songwriting as a way to process emotions in an unsettled era\, and attend concerts where they can have a sense of connectedness\, solace and even joy in this challenging time.”  \nAs independent artists and queer and non-conforming women\, Emma’s Revolution has a national presence among communities\, organizations and venues that share the duo’s vision of valuing people over profit\, choosing compassion over violence\, demanding accountability\, and building a more just and sustainable world.

SUMMARY:Tom Paxton and The DonJuans
DESCRIPTION:“Every folk singer I know has either sung a Tom Paxton song\, is singing a Tom Paxton song or will soon sing a Tom Paxton song. Now either all the folk singers are wrong\, or Tom Paxton is one hell of a songwriter.” (Holly Near) \n“Tom’s songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them\, whistling them\, and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie\, they’re becoming part of America.” (Pete Seeger) \nTom Paxton has become a voice of his generation\, addressing issues of injustice and inhumanity\, laying bare the absurdities of modern culture and celebrating the tenderest bonds of family\, friends\, and community. \nPaxton has been an integral part of the songwriting and folk music community since the early 60’s Greenwich Village scene\, and continues to be a primary influence on today’s “New Folk” performers. The Chicago native came to New York via Oklahoma\, which he considers to be his home state. His family moved there in 1948\, when Tom was 10 years old\, and he graduated from Bristow High School and The University of Oklahoma\, where he majored in drama while his interest in folk music grew and eventually predominated. \nBrought to New York courtesy of the US Army\, Tom remained there following his discharge. His early success in Greenwich Village coffeehouses\, such as The Gaslight and The Bitter End\, led to an ever-increasing circle of work. Then in 1965 he made his first tour of the United Kingdom — the beginning of a still-thriving professional relationship that has included at least one tour in each of the succeeding years. \nHe has performed thousands of concerts around the world in countries such as Australia\, New Zealand\, Japan\, Hong Kong\, Scandinavia\, France\, Italy\, Belgium\, Holland\, England\, Scotland\, Ireland and Canada. That these fans still enjoy his work is a testament to the quality of his recent work\, and to the enduring power of modern standards like The Last Thing On My Mind\, Ramblin’ Boy\, Bottle Of Wine\, Whose Garden Was This?\, Goin’ To The Zoo and The Marvelous Toy. Paxton’s songbooks\, critically acclaimed children’s books (available from HarperCollins – see the page for children)\, award-winning children’s recordings\, and a catalog of hundreds of songs (also recorded by many renowned artists including Willie Nelson\, Placido Domingo\, Paul Simon\, Townes Van Zandt and Tiny Tim)\, all serve to document Tom Paxton’s 40-year career. \nHe is one of the great songwriters of the last century and will be reckoned as one of the greats in this new century\, as well. He is a man we have come to regard as our friend. \nhttps://www.tompaxton.com/ \n  \nThe DonJuans is a musical duo comprised of two GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriters\, Don Henry and Jon Vezner. \nDon and Jon have performed in venues from the Bottom Line in New York City to the Bluebird Café in Nashville\, sharing stages with artists as diverse as Joey Ramone\, John Hartford\, Michael Johnson\, and David Crosby. Their songs have been recorded by a multitude of artists including Janis Ian\, Ray Charles\, John Mellencamp\, and Miranda Lambert to name a few. Working as a duo\, the DonJuans bring an impressive array of songs\, experience\, and gifted musicianship. \nhttps://www.thedonjuans.com/
