GROTTO/ISLAND JOE'S WHISKEY SHACK
Highway One & Reed Street
Dewey Beach, DE 1997
(302)-227-3407
9:00 BRENE WILSON (NEWARK, DE) "Catchy pop/rock with a cool alternative vibe." That's one way to describe Brene's music. He is a singer/songwriter from the Newark area who is currently recording his 2nd self-released CD, which is scheduled for this fall. Brene has been constantly winning over the public with his infectious songs and energetic live performances. He was also a showcasing performer at the 1st annual Dewey Beach Music Conference in 2002. 10:00 AKIVA (NYC) Akiva moves and rocks and crackles and pops with the sounds of organic grooves and sweet lyrical proclamations. The twentysomething Long Islander recently teamed up with producer Philip A. Jimenez (WHEATUS) to present a mature and soulful chronicle of missed opportunities, self-discovery and universal truths. "Equal parts G.Love (of the Special Sauce), Dave Matthews, and David Gray, Akiva keeps it light and funky in a way sure to make the ladies swoon" —Starpolish. 11:00 TIM ANTHONY (SYRACUSE, NY) "In the finest pop rock spirit this is a rewarding spin for melodic pop mavens. Beatles inspired songs that are hook filled gems. Future releases from this proficient tunesmith should be of great interest for pop rock fans." —Herald Journal, NY. "This CD is lush, full commercial pop which melodically, vocally and instrumentally likens itself to The Raspberries, Fotomaker and The Rubinoos. Excellent combos for sure!" —Bruce Brodeen, Notlame Recordings 12:00 KENTON SHELLEY (YORK, PA) Kenton Shelley is a singer/songwriter hailing from York, Pennsylvania. Kenton’s ability to take his songwriter qualities and mix them with a great rock feel make his music appealing and far from ordinary. Kenton writes and delivers his songs with passion and his voice has a “reach out and grab you” quality that most artists do not possess.
8:00 MELISSA COX (NEWARK, DE) Need a reason to see singer/songwriter Melissa Cox this year? She opened for Catie Curtis in ‘02. She was a finalist in the Jan. ‘04 Song of the Year Contest. She’s received praise from local DJs, publications and musicians. She’s been compared to Sarah McLachlan, Joni Mitchell & Tori Amos. Come see her perform with vocalist/flutist Nikki Gallagher! 9:00 ARMS OF KISMET (DC) "Literate and insidiously catchy, Arms of Kismet is postmodern pop for the savvy, ironic streecrawler. A veteran of POPFEST and other festivals, Arms of Kismet returns solo to Dewey Beach. Check out the new CD, Eponymous, at armsofkismet.com." 10:00 JEREMIAH BIRNBAUM (NYC) "Jeremiah Birnbaum's eclectic singer/songwriter compositions reveal a traveling soul beneath his poppy jazz-rock exterior. Lyrically influenced by such writers as Steinbeck and Dylan Thomas, Birnbaum crafts mellifluous words to mesh with his precisely built tunes." —Music-Tech.net 11:00 SHERRI MULLEN (HARRISBURG, PA) Sherri Mullen is one of Pennsylvania's finest prodigies in the realm of singer/songwriters. With her powerful vocals and over 100 original songs spanning various genres, she defies categorization. Along with performing, hosting a weekly radio show and a monthly tv show, she is in hot pursuit of publishing deals and placement of her material. Come witness this new breed of singer/songwriter as she performs an up close and personal acoustic set!! 12:00 MICHELANGELO (NYC) Manhattan based singer/songwriter/keyboardist Michelangelo has been recognized as an original musical voice that is growing ever more popular. The music melds pop/rock/funk and jazz into a sound that is as artistic as his namesake, captured on his CD Future Perfect. |
