VALENTINES DAY SPECIAL: Morwenna Lasko and Jay Pun :: 3pm
“This duo is a force. The music comes from the heart, and bristles with excitement and inventiveness… Much of the country and world hasn’t tuned in yet, but they will. One listen is all it takes.”
-Aer Stephen (“Folk & Beyond” WTJU)
A sound that's hard to describe, yet impossible to forget. With a cutting edge vibe that explodes with originality and soulful expression, Morwenna & Jay's music redefines the acoustic origins of violin and guitar. Both graduates of Berklee College of Music, the Violin & Guitar duo started playing together in 2004 and have continued to push the boundaries of "acoustic" music. The release of their highly anticipated 2nd CD “Chioggia Beat,” illustrates their ability to reinvent the limits of their instruments and in the process produce a lush range of original work that is sure to move your soul and mind. A worldly mix of 12 brand new tunes, the album showcases Morwenna and Jay's heartfelt composition skills, and their knack for introducing unexpected musical tangents and motifs in a way that keeps you wanting more. The CD features their signature duo sound, their full band, as well as a few special guest musicians such as legendary world artist Pierre Bensusan, soul singer Ezra Hamilton, and Dave Matthews Band trumpeter Rashawn Ross.

Morgan Heringer :: 5pm
Big Tree singer...with a uke. "Morgan Heringer does not play the ukulele in the traditional way. In fact, I can't seem to recall even one instance of strumming. The usual frame of reference that you may have developed for ukulele doesn't apply - forget Tiny Tim, forget Iz, etc. Instead, Morgan plucks out complex chords with discrimination. Each note of her playing takes up a unique space, or, better yet, carves a spce for her full, oaken voice to fill and bounce around in." -Ben Seretan, WESU Middletown
