Introductions
Matt Gabriel is a singer/songwriter from Grand Rapids who has spent over ten years honing his bluesy folky sound. Making his Old Dog debut tonight. His next local show will be at Our Brewing in Holland on November 24.
Carrie McFerrin is not from here, but she is OF here now: raising her family, hosting the open mic at Louie's every Wednesday night, and playing her swanky twang for our lucky ears, often with her musical partner Matthew Borr. (Band name to be revealed next week Friday on this stage!) She will also be playing in the round with Kaitlin Rose and Stacy Koviak-Davison at Webster's on Nov. 3.
In many ways, Megan Dooley IS Kalamazoo music. 15 years of playing her own great originals and songs from the vast American songbook, she has crafted a lasting legacy of music, and she is nowhere near done yet. She will be at the Cascade Library on Sunday, and at the Hilliards Corner lounge next Sunday.
After being a valued part of the Kalamazoo scene for almost 20 years, this is Brian Koenigsknecht's moment: widespread acclaim for his album From The Shallows To the Deep, powerful live shows, and collaborations with just about everyone in town. Tomorrow night at Rootead is just such a night, with Gifts or Creatures, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, and a string section.
Darcy Wilkin has a lot of irons in the fire: longtime membership in the folk group The Corn Fed Girls, the long-running WMUK show Grassroots, which she hosts with her father, Mark Sahlgren, and now she's venturing out to play solo. She is playing Nov. 2 at the Richland library, and the 24th at Louie's along with Brian and Jonathan Timm.
From Holland, Olivia Mainville is the youngest act here tonight, but she has accomplished a great deal, with much more to come. Constant touring with her Aquatic Troupe has paid off in great sound and wide recognition. Her new single, Danger Death Ray, comes out on Halloween. She plays with Brandon James tomorrow night at Grand Armory in Grand Haven.
