>Saturday, October 10
>Grateful Bread, 8:00 pm
>Tickets: $8/7 SFS Members

>
>
>Collins emerged on the New England folk scene with the release of her first
>recordings "Made in New England" (Philo Records 1978) and subsequently
>"Baptism of Fire" (Philo 1981) both of which have become classics in the
>folk genre. She released several recordings on Green Linnet Records and
>recently her own Molly Gamblin label for which she was featured on the
>national radio program All Things Considered. The Hartford Courant deemed
>Collins as "one of New England's clearest and most distinctive folk voices,
>with unusually piercing lyrical insight..." and guitarist, Dave Van Ronk,
>says Lui Collins is, "One of the best guitarist-arrangers I've heard in
>years?" Collins is currently recording her seventh album. Her music has
>been included on nine compilations and recorded by several other recording
>artists, including Garnet Rogers, Priscilla Herman and Horace Williams.
>
>
>**KAREN SAVOCA**
>Friday, October 16
>Grateful Bread, 8pm
>$8/7 SFS Members
>She's got a voice that's been called "veiled and mysterious...beaded and
>tie-dye bluesy"..."like the angel assigned to nightclub guardian duty for
>a good portion of eternity: sweet, but seasoned." Accompanied by Pete
>Heitzman on guitar and six-string bass, Karen plays conga and percussion,
>and together they create what can only be described as a self-contained
>mini-band. Their sound is an elusive mix... melodic, funky and spontaneous.
>
>Their indie release, On The River Road, won Syracuse's SAMMY for Record of
>the Year along with others for Best Songwriter/Best Rock Vocalist/Best
>Folk-Rock Group/ and Best Rock Instrumentalist. They also won Musician
>Magazine's Best Unsigned Band award. Their brand new release, Sunday in
>Nandua, was once again co-produced with Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, whose credits
>include: Shawn Colvin, Elvis Costello, Jewel, and Eileen Ivers, and is
>currently on tour with Hall&Oates.
>
>Many of you may have seen Karen open for Greg Brown on his last NW tour.
>She was so well received by the audience they called her back out for an
>encore, which is a rare occurrence for an opening act! We are fortunate to
>have her back in Seattle to play an entire show of her wonderful stylized
>tunes.

>**DAVE WEBBER and ANNI FENTIMAN**
>Saturday October 17th
>Grateful Bread, 8:00pm
>Tickets $10 ($9 for SFS Members)
>Dave and Anni’s enthusiasm sparkles in their powerful vocal performances
>which have developed from their involvement in traditional and
>traditional-style music for over 25 years. Their first love is a cappella
>singing, both solo and in harmony and they acknowledge the debt of
>gratitude that is owed to source and early revival singers who have helped
>to keep alive this wonderful singing style. They present a varied cross
>section of material from the delicate solo to the rousing chorus. Anni's
>intuitive harmony adds color and depth to the duo while her solo
>performance is clear and sensitive. From the North East of England, Anni
>is a "Geordie" and presents an unusual repertoire featuring dialect songs.
>These earn Anni a well deserved reputation in English traditional music
>circles. Dave sings with a rich and powerful style. His love of this
>music is clear in his performance, from the gentle and plaintive
>traditional ballad to the stirring chorus song which inspires even the most
>reticent audience to join in.
>
>Dave is also a song writer of note with many of his better known songs
>often assumed to be traditional’. Foremost among these is probably "Lady
>of Autumn". Though they have delighted audiences on both sides of the
>Atlantic and on both coasts of the US, this will be their first appearance
>together in Seattle and the North West. They represent the best in English
>folk music and are well worth seeing and hearing.
>

>**KAT EGGLESTON**
>Friday, October 23
>Grateful Bread, 8pm
>$8/7 SFS Members
>Kat Eggleston is a compelling songwriter, musician and traditional singer.
>She sports an intricate, percussive guitar style and a striking alto voice.
>Her passionate, sometimes humorous lyrics create images of great conflict
>with arresting realism. Kat Eggleston touches her listeners with honesty,
>imagination and top-notch musicianship.
>
>Eggleston was raised on Vashon Island, in Washington State. She learned to
>sing harmony from her mother, and studied classical piano for eleven years.
>After earning an BFA in acting from the Interplayers Ensemble in Spokane,
>she spent 1983 travelling in the South Pacific. From 1984 to 1990 she
>performed solo and with the Ferryboat Musicians, Four Women at Play, Fool
>Moon and David Bromberg, as well as serving on the Board of Directors of
>Victory Music.
>
>The release of First Warm Wind in 1989 brought her exceptional songwriting
>skills into the spotlight, leading to mainstage features at the Columbia
>River and Kerrville Festivals. Since moving to the Chicago area in 1990,
>Eggleston has worked with The Otters and Trio Basho, apperaaed in Woody
>Guthrie's American Song, and toured nationally with partner Andrew Calhoun.
>Her first national CD release, Second Nature, includes "Fury," an
>unforgettable portrait of domestic violence.

>**TOM DUNDEE **
>Saturday, October 24
>Grateful Bread, 8pm
>$8/7 SFS Members
>Emerging in the early '80's, Chicago native TOM DUNDEE has emphasized humor
>and irony. In a style that's a wonderful blend of urban street sense and
>country charm, Tom will perform songs from his two newly released CDs along
>with many of his original favorites. Mark this concert on your calendar, and
>be prepared for a night of laughter, reflection, and memories as TOM DUNDEE
>leads you on a journey that will stay with you long after the concert ends.
