Subject: NYC area folk events From: WFDU - Ron Olesko Date: 16 Jul 06 - 11:27 AM I've added an events calendar on my web/blogsite. While it is geared toward NYC area events, I will be adding festivals within a few hours or a nice weekend driving distance from Manhattan. The current one is for July events, and I will be putting up a calendar of events for August in the next few days. I would also like to invite any Mudcatters who may be performing at club, coffeehouse or house concert in our area to let me know so I can add it. Bill Hahn and I also use this list for announcements on our radio shows. www.ronolesko.blogspot.com |

Subject: RE: NYC area folk events From: GUEST Date: 16 Jul 06 - 11:41 AM Great listing Ron. Can you possibly add some Long Island information. We have some good events here and could use the publicity. |

Subject: RE: NYC area folk events From: Suffet Date: 20 Feb 07 - 12:14 PM Press Release from Steve Suffet E-mail link: Click here. Website link: Click here. Phone: 718-786-1533 For release on February 20, 2007: • Holly GoAnarchy and Steve Suffet at Peoples' Voice Cafe in New York City on March 10. • Anarcho-Feminist Folksinger-Songwriter Makes Peoples' Voice Cafe Debut. • Old Fashioned Folksinger Returns to Celebrate Release of Newest CD. • Midtown Manhattan Location. Doors Open 7:30 PM. Show Starts 8:00 PM. Anarcho-feminist folksinger-songwriter Holly GoAnarchy will make her debut appearance at the Peoples' Voice Cafe in New York City on Saturday evening, March 10, 2007. Sharing the bill with her will be Steve Suffet, a long time Peoples' Voice Cafe performer, who will be returning to celebrate the release of his newest CD, I've Been Up On the Mountain. Holly GoAnarchy, whose birth name is Holley Anderson, co-founded the Vox Pop coffee house in in the Ditmas Park section of Brooklyn along with her sometimes ex-husband Sander Hicks. After a brief sojourn to the Mid-Hudson Valley, Holly returned to Ditmas Park, where she now lives in a wonderful old house with a group of friends and their young children, including her own two-year old son Coleman, who is a rather gifted interpretive dancer. Holly likes to deal with her own intensity and constant hard learning with a bit of humor, because she finds it helps her survive. She produced her first CD, Why Am I Not a Lesbian?, last year and is currently working on a new album entitled Only the Good. Steve Suffet is best described as an old fashioned folksinger. His repertoire is a mixture of railroad songs, trucker songs, cowboy songs, union songs, old time ballads, blues, ragtime, Gospel, bluegrass, topical-political songs, and whatever else tickles his fancy. He takes songs from whatever sources he wishes and then he sings them his own way, or else he writes his own songs, almost always in traditional folk styles. I've Been Up On the Mountain is Steve's second full CD. His first CD, Now the Wheel Has Turned, was released in 2005. As usual, Steve will be accompanied by musical friends from MacDougal Street Rent Party. Now in its 28th season as New York's premier venue for progressive political music, the Peoples' Voice Cafe is located in the Workmen's Circle Building at 45 East 33rd Street, just west of Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. Doors open at 7:30 PM and the show starts promptly at 8:00 PM. Suggested admission is $12 for the general public and $9 for Peoples' Voice Cafe or Workmen's Circle members. TDF vouchers are accepted, and no one will be turned away for lack of money. Light refreshments, including home baked snacks, will be available. For more information about the Peoples' Voice Cafe, please call 212-787-3903. [end] |

Subject: RE: NYC area folk events From: GUEST,Brian Peters Date: 21 Feb 07 - 11:25 AM Hi Ron, great job you're doing there. I'm touring in East Coast US during April, and I see you have my gig at Princeton FMS listed already. However I have a couple of others within range that I'd like to let you know about, and also check that you have my material for airplay (I sent some out for my 2005 visit to NY Pinewoods). I'm not a registered Mudcat user so can't PM you. How should I get in touch direct? |
