An Evening With Steve Forbert on Thursday, July 1st, 2010 – at 8pm.  What a way to start the 4th of July Holiday Weekend!  This promises to be a fantastic, up close and personal performance and we are delighted that he has agreed to come and do a show here at Coffee Works.

With an absolutely superb track record that stretches back three decades, Steve Forbert has fashioned a niche for himself within the folk genre. His records offer incredibly thoughtful songs that are lushly orchestrated and cleanly produced – an organic-sounding combination that is rare in contemporary music today. His lyrical intelligence and vocal timbre have garnered him comparisons to Bob Dylan since the beginning of his career but – make no mistake – Steve’s unique sound and energy are all his own. Since his breakthrough sophomore album Jackrabbit Slim in 1979 that featured the hit “Romeo’s Tune,” Forbert has enjoyed both critical praise and, more importantly, a devoted host of fans.

ALL MUSIC GUIDE REVIEW  Dayna Kurtz is the kind of artist who inspires wild-eyed zealotry among her fans, and there are three reasons for it: One, she’s an artist’s artist, one whose whiskeyed, determined alto often earns her comparisons with Nina Simone; two, while Europeans adore her, she’s obscenely underappreciated in her own country; and three, her songs, which straddle a difficult space between jazz, rock, and folk, are pure poetry. Another Black Feather, her third full-length, merits still more whipping up of the faithful. Each of these 11 tracks arrives swathed in soul-derived, deeply held meaning, and each follows lyrical twists that deliver a listener to places in her own heart she might not have had occasion to visit otherwise. There is sadness (“It’s the Day of Atonement, 2001″), regret (“Venezuela,” “Nola”), and tenderness (“All Over Again”), but most of all there is beauty; a common thread. Kurtz chooses her backing players as carefully as her words, and here they display an audible knowingness of her character — when her mood shifts, they match it with idiosyncratic mastery. Another Black Feather owes its artist instant stardom. If that’s unattainable, it should at least earn her the one descriptor all serious artists strive for: important. ——by Tammy La Gorce
