Oct 26: Alone Together with David Roth

From Cape Cod David Roth makes his fourth trip to ASC with his unique, original music, replete with hilarity, spontaneity, poignancy, and inspiration. Credits include top honors at Kerrville and Falcon Ridge festivals, nine very collectible CDs, lyrics in several Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and appearances in coffeehouses, concert halls, festivals, & conferences throughout North America. If you have heard him, you doubtless have your favorites already-unforgettable gems like "Thank You, Mr. Ryan" or "Manual Garcia," "Sister Helen's Lists," "Nine Gold Medals," "Cutter of Stone," "Five Blind Men," "John & Josie," "If You Can't Fly," or "May the Light of Love." If you have not heard him, come at any cost. He will lead you/us to laugh and cry…think and feel…alive & well!

 

Nov 09: Hearts of Soul

Performing together since the week they met eleven years ago, Scott & Michelle Dalziel bundle up their substantial songwriting skills and instrumental finesse into a high energy performance that delivers fresh and soulful sounds like you just won't believe-unless you hear with your own ears! Dipping from R&B, pop, jazz, country, bluegrass, and blues as well as folk and acoustic rock, they go where the muses take them. As said by one of our venue favorites, Johnsmith, "These guys have the full package, tight harmonies, solid songs, and a groove that won't stop. All dished out with loads of fun, great energy, and big open hearts." Opening: AR guitarist Danny Dozier, whose influences run from Ramblin' Jack Elliott to Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Doc Watson, & Ry Cooder.
