Saturday, September 11, 8:00 PM, Hollis Cornell Auditorium, Goldwin Smith Hall Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices of the American singer- songwriter world. He was a principle leader in the wave of singer/songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene, which helped revitalize the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk/pop style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 1990's. He has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.

Saturday, October 2, 8:00 PM, 165 McGraw Hall Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90's when buzz started spreading in the folk clubs of Boston about an ex-multicultural arts teacher who was knocking 'em dead at open mics. Gilbert took audiences across the country by storm. "With the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god, it was enough to earn him that rarity: an encore for an opener" wrote the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. We'll expect to hear songs from his latest album, "Up On Rockfield," exploring and unabashedly celebrating the influence various famous songwriters and performers have had upon his writing. Each song is penned by Gilbert as if he was co-writing with some of his musical heroes.

life. Contributions he made to the BBC series The Radio Ballads deal with universal pictures of shipbuilding and seafaring communities. And there are songs inspired by Yeats and Heaney, and by the road. Lowe has earned the right to be counted among England's finest contemporary songwriters. We've been trying for sevral years to connect with obne of his infrequent U.S. tours and finally succeeded. Although known as the leader of the band The Bad Pennies, Jez will be performing here as a solo.

Saturday, Novermber 13, 8:00 PM, 165 McGraw Hall Moira Smiley leads an ensemble of extraordinary musicians who share a passion for spreading powerful, emotional music with lush four-part vocal harmony, accompanied by cello, accordion and banjo. Named #1 a cappella group in the U.S. in 2007, VOCO is the energy of street singing and the elegance of a string quartet. VOCO is sweet, hard-driving Americana mixed with crooked eastern European dance and dissonance. It's all rounded out with body-stompin' percussive movement and joyous, magnificent, hair-raising harmonies - music that mourns and dances at the same time.
