Cliff’s dad introduced him to the guitar when he was 7 and he quickly taught himself to play. He cut his teeth listening to James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bonnie Raitt, and Mississippi John Hurt at local clubs — but also Cole Porter, the Gershwins, and Rodgers and Hart.
Cliff moved to New York in 1978 – because the clubs were great, the Bitter End, the Speakeasy, Kenny’s Castaway, Folk City and the company amazing, John Gorka, Suzanne Vega, Lucy Kaplansky, Julie Gold, Steve Forbert, Christine Lavin, and Shawn Colvin. Between long hours as a taxi driver, Cliff played guitar on the road with Richie Havens, Melanie and sang jingles for Coke, Miller Beer and Chevrolet, “The Heartbeat of America” campaign.
Cliff has produced an incredible number of acclaimed albums, collaborated with Jazz, Folk, and Country legends, written original songs for a new production of “The Taming of the Shrew” for Folger Theatre and Shakespeare Library in Washington DC, reunited with old songwriting pals, John Gorka, Christine Lavin, Cheryl Wheeler, Lucy Kaplansky and Patty Larkin to tour nationally again as On A Winter’s Night and much, much more!.
Since the pandemic, he’s out on the road again and not to be missed!  Right at the Club!  Get your tickets, and Come on Down!

Coffeehouse Feature:  Fred Meltzer

Fred Meltzer has been performing and recording originals, covers and tribute music for over 40 years.  His band Free Range has featured at SSFMC in the past.  Fred has played his silly and thoughtful originals for the past several years and his project, Waxy Shellac and The Tasteless Apples, is currently recording their inaugural album “Shelf Life” at Ultrasound Productions in Hanover MA.  Looks for it soon on line and in person with a booklet illustrating how all the decades of hits were inspired!  Maybe Fred will be inspired to preview a couple at our first coffeehouse of the season!

Opener Fran Araujo and Friends:

Fran Araujo is a musician who has been performing for about 12 years. Her musical roots begin with her paternal grandmother in Ireland. She was influenced in childhood by her parents’ Mitch Miller records, and then was enchanted with the folk music of the 60s’s, especially with the close harmony of popular groups of the time.  She appreciates and enjoys performing old time and bluegrass.  Fran takes great pleasure in singing and playing with others and believes music is deeply healing.
We also hope you’ll share your Talent at the OPEN MIC!
