SUMMARY:Cliff Eberhardt Facebook Live/Louise Mosrie opens.
DESCRIPTION:Cliff and Louise would have been back on our stage on this very day however\, you know what happened. We are happy to welcome them back virtually. They will be streaming on our ACMA FB page with a virtual tip jar available on FB at \nhttps://www.facebook.com/Americana-Community-Music-Association-186132008151817/\n\nCliff Eberhardt knew by age seven that he was going to be a singer and songwriter. Growing up in Berwyn\, Pennsylvania\, he and his brothers sang together and their parents played instruments. His dad introduced him to the guitar and he quickly taught himself to play. Fortunate enough to live close to the Main Point (one of the best folk clubs on the East Coast)\, he cut his teeth listening to the likes of James Taylor\, Joni Mitchell\, Bruce Springsteen\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Muddy Waters\, Bonnie Raitt\, and Mississippi John Hurt — receiving an early and impressive tutorial in acoustic music. At the same time\, he was also listening to great pop songwriters like Cole Porter\, the Gershwins\, and Rodgers and Hart\, which explain his penchant for great melodies and clever lyrical twists.\n\n\nAt fifteen\, Cliff and his brother Geoff began touring as an acoustic duo\, playing the Eastern club circuit until Cliff turned twenty-one and moved to Carbondale\, Illinois. There he found space to develop his own voice within a vibrant and supportive music scene that included Shawn Colvin. After a couple of years there and a short stay in Colorado\, Cliff moved to New York in 1978. Because the clubs were great (the Bitter End\, the Speakeasy\, Kenny’s Castaway\, Folk City) and the company amazing (John Gorka\, Suzanne Vega\, Lucy Kaplansky\, Julie Gold\, Steve Forbert\, Christine Lavin\, and Shawn Colvin)\, New York was an ideal musician’s boot camp. Though he put in long hours as a taxi driver\, Cliff worked steadily on his music throughout the 80’s\, doing solo gigs and studio work\, and playing guitar on the road with Richie Havens\, Melanie and others. Singing advertising jingles for products like Coke\, Miller Beer and Chevrolet (“The Heartbeat of America” campaign) allowed him to devote more time to his songwriting.\n\n\nIn 1990 Cliff’s song “My Father’s Shoes\,” appeared on Windham Hill’s Legacy collection\, leading to a deal with the label. They released Cliff’s first album\, The Long Road (1990)\, a work featuring a duet with Richie Havens. The critical response to this debut was outstanding (The Philadelphia Inquirer called the album a “repeatedly astounding collection”). He followed with two more records on Windham Hill before releasing 12 Songs of Good and Evil (1997) on Red House Records\, which stemmed from a chance meeting with Red House founder Bob Feldman at John Gorka’s wedding. Cliff recorded two more albums before his critically acclaimed The High Above and the Down Below\, named the #5 album of 2007 by USA Today. Produced by Eric Peltoniemi\, it was recorded in Minneapolis with noted jazz players Gordy Johnson\, J. T. Bates and Rich Dworsky and was his first album after spending several years recovering from a car accident.\n\n\nWith a new lease on life and a fresh batch of songs\, Cliff embarked on what has turned out to be an artistic renaissance. Recorded in the Texas Hill Country\, Cliff’s 2009 album 500 Miles: The Blue Rock Sessions may be his finest to date. An intimate album of powerful originals and unique covers\, it features a reworking of his hit “The Long Road\,” a song made more poignant after nearly two decades of touring and recording. Long one of the most respected songwriters on the club scene\, his peers often mine his catalog for themselves. Cliff’s song “Memphis” was included on Cry Cry Cry\, an album of collaborative covers by the “folk supergroup” of the same name (comprised of Dar Williams\, Lucy Kaplansky and Richard Shindell). Other performers who have recorded his songs include Richie Havens\, Shawn Colvin\, Russ Taff\, David Broza/Maura O’Connell and Buffy Sainte Marie. A collection of his songs has been published in The Cliff Eberhardt Songbook (Cherry Lane Publishing).\n\n\nIn 2011\, Cliff got a phone call from the Folger Theatre and Shakespeare Library in Washington DC. They had been listening to his song\, “That Kind of Love” along with director Aaron Posner and got the brilliant idea to hire Cliff to write original songs for the Shakespeare classic “The Taming of the Shrew”. It would be set in the old West – Deadwood style – and Cliff would be cast as the blind but wise old saloon singer bookending scenes with his poignant songs and guitar phrases. The play was a huge success and won much critical acclaim across town and 7 weeks of solid sold-out shows in the Spring of 2012. In 2013\, Cliff was nominated for a coveted Helen Hayes Award for Sound Design and he and the cast won for Best Ensemble and Best Play. Some of the songs on Shrew Songs are from Cliff’s past work and some are brand new. The stripped down production enhances the immediate intimacy of Cliff’s songwriting. You don’t have to have seen the play to love this record! It’s available for sale now only through this website or at Cliff’s shows.\n\n\nIn 2018\, Cliff was hired by Aaron Posner and The Roundhouse Theater in MD to write and perform in a modern re-telling of the Sophocles play\, “Philoctetes” – called “The Heal”. “The Heal” will debut at the Getty Villa in Malibu on September 5th\, 2019. Cliff spent a whole year painstakingly composing\, arranging and recording the 9 tracks for the play. Available in his “Store” here on this site.\n\n\nCliff is well-known as a songwriting teacher all over the U.S. at songwriting camps and private lessons. He also produces\, arranges and advises on other artist’s recordings. He tours constantly.\nwww.cliffeberhardt.com\nLouse Mosrie:\nLouise Mosrie grew up in McEwen\, TN on a cattle farm – riding horses and writing poetry. She began writing songs after college while working in TV/radio in Knoxville. She moved back to the Nashville area in 2004 and began co-writing with country\, bluegrass and folk artists (Donna Ulisse\, Mike Richardson) and writers. Louise had a major creative breakthrough in 2007 when she had a fortuitous co-writing session with famed Americana producer and writer\, Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle\, Lucinda Williams). They wrote the song\, “Doubling Back”\, for a documentary film by IU professor\, Ron Osgood\, called “My Vietnam\, Your Iraq” which was broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.\nLouise started writing songs about the South – what she knew and where she grew up. In 2008\, she began working on a new album eventually to be called “Home” because she’d come full circle in her “voice” as a writer. The album was a mix of bluegrass\, country and folk and as she weaved in lush stories and songs about southern life\, she was even introduced once as “…William Faulkner with a guitar”. With those songs\, she entered some song contests connected to festivals and ended up winning top awards at Kerrville Folk Festival\, Wildflower! Festival\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. “Home” debuted at #1 on the Folk DJ charts in January 2010 and went on to be one of the most played albums that year for that chart.\nBuoyed by a couple thousand earnest fans\, she began touring all over the Eastern seaboard\, the South and Texas. Audience members would tell her that they enjoyed the stories between the songs as much as the songs and her strong expressive voice was described as “…like listening to Patty Griffin and Susan Tedeschi at the same time.” She’s played at The Bluebird Café in Nashville\, Club Passim in Boston\, Caffé Lena in NY and was just recently invited to play at The Birchmere in Washington DC.\nIn 2012\, her 15-year marriage ended and her mother was diagnosed with brain cancer and died 6 months later. Out of those dark days came some new songs that would eventually be recorded on her newest release “Lay It Down”: 10 songs of love\, loss and surrender. On “Lay It Down”\, she collaborated with folk-rock songwriter/producer\, Cliff Eberhardt\, who envisioned that minimalist arrangements and restrained production would allow the emotional songs and Louise’s voice a stark relief to rest and shine in.\nThe new CD\, “Lay It Down”\, was released in late summer/Fall 2014…and landed on several “Best of” lists. Louise is always writing new songs…..\n“Louise Mosrie may well be the brightest young folk-oriented artist to emerge from Nashville in many a year.” – Rich Warren\, WFMT-FM\, The Midnight Special\, Chicago\nContact: louise@louisemosrie.com\nve Wildsmith\, The Daily Times\, Maryville\, TN\n“The songwriting is really strong\, the production is great and your voice quite beautiful. The more important thing to me\, though\, is that the songs are truly convincing.” – Lauryn Shapter\, KRUU-FM\n“Excellent\, great songs and your singing is really good and soulful.” – Lloyd Maines\, Grammy award-winning producer\, musician and songwriter\n\n\nSome of the venues played:\n30A Songwriting Festival\nOpelika Songwriting Festival\nJoe Davies Song Fest\nKerrville Folk Festival\nTelluride Bluegrass Festival\nBristol Rhythm & Roots Festival\nFalcon Ridge Folk Festival\nWildflower Folk Festival\nDogwood Arts Festival\nBluebird Cafe\nUncle Calvin’s Coffeehouse\nThe Birchmere Music Hall\nClub Passim\nWFMT Folkstage Chicago\nThe Evening Muse\nThe Down Home\nDouglas Corner\nMoonlight on the Mountain\n\n\nOpener for:\nAmerica\nJoe Ely\nSteve Earle\nJonatha Brooke\nAllison Moorer\nCliff Eberhardt\nGreg Trooper\nMalcom Holcomb\nMindy Smith\nEllis Paul\nVance Gilbert\nTerri Hendrix

SUMMARY:John Wort Hannam Zoom. Ricky Baker opens!
DESCRIPTION:The ACMA welcomes Canadian songwriter John Wort Hannam to our virtual stage for the first time via ZOOM. We’ll have a short Q & A session after the concert with Ricky and John so you can get a chance to chat with both of them.. Reserve your seat at the link below!\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/…/john-wort-hannam-zoom…\n“JOHN WORT HANNAM HAS A VOICE THAT CAN CONVEY REGRET\, SORROW\, JOY\, AND LOVE IN EQUAL MEASURE\, AND HIS SONGWRITING IS EQUAL TO THE TASK OF BRINGING OUT ALL THESE EMOTIONS…INSIGHTFUL LYRICS\, TERRIFIC MELODIES\, AND ENGAGING MUSIC.” GREAT DARK WONDER\nIn 2001\, John Wort Hannam quit his teaching job and spent 10 months depleting his savings while sat at his kitchen table\, wearing a lucky hat\, writing his first ten songs. Those songs would become his first recording Pocket Full Of Holes\, released in 2003.\nEighteen years later\, the Alberta musician has released seven full-length recordings and has a few feathers in that lucky hat. Feathers that include a JUNO nomination\, a Canadian Folk Music Award for Best Album of the Year\, A CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award\, a Kerrville Texas New Folk win\, and numerous Western Canadian Music Award and Canadian Folk Music Award nominations.\nRecent years have seen a great deal of change in John’s life – becoming a Dad\, turning 50\, a move to the big city (Lethbridge)\, a marital reckoning\, a long\, deep bout of depression\, and episodes of losing his singing voice. But John has emerged a better songwriter\, a better singer\, and a better player. On Acres Of Elbow Room\, John has further found his lyrical style and has landed squarely on his niche in the folk/roots world. He’s spent years learning the craft of songwriting and is taking those tools to write some of his most personal songs. He has\, quite literally\, found his voice.\nThese days John Wort Hannam has the same lucky hat but a new sound\, a new band\, a new confidence\, and a ton of new songs. – John is making waves in a new soundscape.\nwww.johnworthannam.com\nACMA member musician Ricky Baker will open for John! Here’s a bit about Ricky “in his own words”\nI started picking and singing back in the late 50’s in Greenwich Village. Got married\, worked\, and got back to music about fifteen years ago in Las Vegas. I’ve been playing around the Ft. Myers area for the last six years.
