Joe CrookstonSaturday, September 27, 8:00 PM, 165 McGraw HallWe don't often present Ithaca-based artists, but Joe Crookston's star shines over a much wider area. Named one of the Top 3 Most-Wanted Artists at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and fresh off a Rockefeller Foundation grant to collect New York State stories and turn them into songs, Joe brings us music that a Seattle Folklore Society reviewer described as "simultaneously sacred, celebratory, artful and solidly grounded in tradition." |

Greg GreenwaySaturday, October 18, 8:00 PM, 165 McGraw Hall""The Cape Cod songwriter stands squarely between the wistful intimacy of folk-pop and the progressive balladry of Phil Ochs and Woody Guthrie. As his new album, "Weightless" proves, his confessional style, sleek guitar, soaring voice, and pop-sweet melodicism make him an uncannily effective political singer. Best of all, he has learned Guthrie's most vital lesson: that hope is a more powerful and renewable resource than rage. " --The Boston Globe |

Jay Ungar and Molly MasonSaturday, November 8, 8:00 PM, Call Auditorium, Kennedy HallJay's haunting composition Ashokan Farewell -- the musical hallmark of the PBS series The Civil War -- earned the couple international acclaim, but it's only part of the story. They bring timeless renditions of hard-driving Appalachian, Cajun and Celtic fiddle tunes, stirring Civil War classics, sassy songs from the golden age of swing and country, stunning waltzes, and deeply moving original compositions. |
