Naomi Less...rocking

Special added show: Naomi Less

Benefit show for the Brynna Fish Fund

No Cover but suggested “I’m thankful” donations accepted.

What they say about Naomi:
“Watch her because: She’s going to teach your daughters how to stand proud and sing loud…Equally composed of fearless rock passion she channels as frontwoman and the keenly observational nurturing instinct she developed (in camps)…”
-Perel Skier, PresenTense Magazine

“Naomi Less debut(ed) songs …which use “values-based, pop-rock music” to teach Jewish girls to respect themselves and each other. “Responsibility,” a Britney Spears-esque pop number, talks about the importance of speaking up and not standing idly by while others are hurt.”
-Rebecca Honig Friedman, Jewess

“Enter Naomi Less, the coolest camp counselor you ever had– guitar in hand and the pipes to match. Her music, like her work, is equal parts juicy rock ‘n roll, throbbing, room-enveloping vocals, and perfectly blended messages of empowerment, justice, and education.”
-Jenny Aisenberg, velvet park

Amy and crew were perennial favorites at Cafe Limbo and return to bring us their country music on the edge of blue-grass. Firmly planted in traditional American roots music, the music comes down from the mountain, rolls through the country, takes a little western swing and ends up with a whole lot of fun and good times.

alan madej at V&B, 11/14

I first saw alan playing under a tent during a light rain at the Tremont Farmer’s Market. I was spellbound. He has a smooth, memorable voice that reminds me of John Lennon…and the songs to back that up. He’ll be presenting material from his new record, “Quietly.” Don’t miss this if you can avoid it.

Chana Rothman

Chana hails from BROOKLYN, New York and is gracing the V&B with her presence on a swing through newly blue Ohio. Chana puts here boundless energy into a sweetly hyphenated mix of world-folk-rock-jazz and boundless charm. A rare treat!

The band’s influences include an eclectic mix of music from the last four decades, from Motown and 60’s rock and pop, to late 70’s songwriters such as Elvis Costello and Tom Waits. Modern groups like Wilco and Belle & Sebastian also play a part in shaping the band’s sound.

Randy Martin

Randy Martin is a lead singer and guitar player with Gorilla Danish. He began playing guitar in 1959. In 2003 he was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and could no longer play bar chords. Rather than quit, he created an open tuning in the key of B. This unusual tuning and key matched his baritone voice. Since 2004, he has been performing as a solo act (Randy Martin: The Lost Classics) perfecting his melody-finger slide finger-picking style and creating arrangements of somewhat forgotten R&B and R&R tunes from the 60s into an interesting presentation made further engaging by the information he delivers about the song writers between tunes. Musicians and non-musicians alike are attracted to his unusual stylings. He plays frequently in his home base of Cleveland and also in Chicago and Milwaukee.

Justin Miller and his band join us for what might be one of the last of our evenings on the patio. This sweet three-piece sings over a delicate but spunky tapestry of acoustic pop. Wordy enough for the erudite without leaving the lovelorn rabble without choruses to whistle home.

Justin Miller Band
