  Time: 8:00 pm
  
  Self-taught musician, poet and producer Rachael Sage radiates what MOJO Magazine calls “warm, intelligent…NY indie charm”. An innovative, improvisational keyboardist, she performs over 150 dates a year with her band The Sequins throughout North America, Europe and Asia. In 2009, Sage made her debut at the world’s largest arts festival, Edinburgh Fringe, where she performed a week-long run of her show “Sequins & Shpiel” to rave reviews. A subsequent sold-out revival of the show at New York’s Joe’s Pub was recommended as a “Top Pick” by both the New York Daily News and Time Out. Sage, who has shared stages with Sarah McLachlan, Judy Collins, Marc Cohn, The Animals and Ani DiFranco, was named one of the Top 100 Independent Artists Of The Past 15 Years by Performing Songwriter magazine. A Grand Prize-Winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (Rock) as well as 2-time winner of both the OUTMusic and Independent Music Awards, Sage has earned a loyal following for her infectious melodies, poetic lyrics, and often-outrageous, colorful stage banter. Her new self-produced album, DELANCEY STREET, contains a dozen tracks of what CMJ calls “a resonant mixture of pop, folk and jazz”; inspired by the urgency of the Green Movement as well as her Jewish immigrant heritage, it is Sage’s most revealing work to date. at 8:00 pm

- After the RodeoAfter the Rodeo
  
  Time: 8:00 pm
  
  After the Rodeo is an innovative and imaginative new Americana act that is a harbinger of their genre. Featuring some of Vermont’s busiest and most sought after musicians, After the Rodeo is an amalgamation of talent that blends seamless, melodic musicianship along with supple three-part harmonies that transcends beyond the typical musical landscape. Taking their combined interests in a variety of genres, After the Rodeo brilliantly infuses meandering jazz, traditional blues and bluegrass along with the reminiscent charm of cowboy folk, associated with such artists as Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt. Not only is this trio creatively breaking ground musically, they also have a shared gift individually and as a group, for songwriting. Crafting each song with attention to detail and literary precision, their original compositions both instrumental and lyrical, evoke timeless images that tend to linger in the imagination long After the Rodeo is through. at 8:00 pm

- Ana MallozziAna Mallozzi
  
  Time: 8:00 pm
  
  Ana Mallozzi is a singer/songwriter from Providence, Rhode Island. She has a voice that can cut through the air like a knife or sound like home. Her songs are very much rooted in matters of the heart. They move from zero to sixty faster than a folk musician normally can on account of her powerhouse vocals. If you look at her it is easy to think that she is a mild mannered and reserved girl but as soon as she sings it is like the noise of a freight train passing your house in the suburbs, that's a little too close to the tracks. It forces you to sit up in the night and listen to it. Only the sound of this freight train is a welcome diversion from sleep. -JES Listen to and/or purchase Ana's new album "April" on http://ana.mallozzi/bandcamp.com at 8:00 pm

Her live sets have been described as "mesmerizing" and "provocative" and you can catch her performing live on the East Coast, especially in NYC. at 8:00 pm

  Time: 6:00 pm
  
  Rob Cimitile's music combines elements of bluegrass and folk with vocal effects, percussive guitar and lyrics that volley between spirituality, metaphysics, and the human experience at large. The conscious influences on this music vary widely, but perhaps the most noticeable are Johnny Cash, Ennio Morricone, Frankie Valli, Kaki King, Tom Waits and Bright Eyes. at 6:00 pm
- Annalise EmerickAnnalise Emerick
  
  Time: 8:00 pm
  
  Her familiar melodies, many borrowing from the folk legacy of American antiquity, calm the soul like a childhood friend. Yet Annalise’s voice uniquely twists intricate melodies in fresh and exciting new ways. It would be just as true to describe her voice as modern, with bits and pieces of Brandi Carlile’s songwriting prowess, Adele’s powerful vocal style, and Regina Spektor’s quirkiness all mixed in. To fully appreciate the wisdom of the Annalise Emerick folk/pop/indie experience, catch her live. There is no telling where the open road may call this talented gypsy muse. She could be across the continent or the globe in a year, so see Annalise Emerick while you can. at 8:00 pm
