>**Cosy Sheridan**
>with opening act Greg Greenway
>Friday, November 13
>Grateful Bread, 8pm
>General Admission: $8/$1 off for SFS members, seniors and kids.
>Cosy Sheridan's "user-friendly musical philosophy sets her happily apart
>from the myopic self-involved songwriter so often lambasted by everyone,"
>says the Boston Globe. "She is a wonderfully lively, very funny and
>enormously amiable entertainer, with a keen and wicked eye for the excesses
>of our fast-food, tv-happy and noisome culture." With songs that range in
>topic from love to the environment; major appliances to neutering your pet;
>the media's constant assault on women's body image; Cosy takes anything
>life can hand her and makes a song out of it. This Kerrville New Folk Award
>and Telluride Troubador winner shares her personal insights with warmth and
>charm. Cosy can always be found at her best and feeling at home while on
>stage. Her new recording, Grand Design, produced by Darleen Wilson, is
>garnering critical and fan aclaim.
>
>Opening the show is Greg Greenway. For reservations, phone (206) 528-8523.

>**SUZANNE THOMAS, DON RIGSBY & FRIENDS**
>Thu,Nov 19
>Tractor Tavern 8pm,
>$13/11 members or advanced purchase
>Combining talents is nothing new in bluegrass given the nature of great
>jams, festival all-star bands and studio supergroups. However, rarely do we
>have the opportunity in the Northwest to find 5 of the best nationally
>recognized individual players in bluegrass touring as a band.
>
>Suzanne Thomas is renowned for her work with the Dry Branch Fire Squad and
>is considered one of the most soulful singers in bluegrass and old-time
>music today. She was a founding member of Ohio's Hotmud Family and recently
>released "Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts" on Rounder, a CD as eclectic as
>it is rooted in traditional old-time country and bluegrass music, currently
>garnering rave reviews. In addition to her lead and harmony singing, she is
>an adept clawhammer banjo player and fine guitarist.
>
>Joining Suzanne is tenor singer Don Rigsby, a powerful mandolin player and
>co-leader of the popular Lonesome River Band. His recent solo CD, "A
>Vision", is a spine-tingling collection of bluegrass gospel. Don is also a
>member of "Longview", collaborating with Dudley Connell and James King on
>some powerful high lonesome trios. Don is a devotee of the Ralph Stanley
>school of hard-edged, deeply traditional bluegrass and is one of the key
>players on the award-winning "The Stanley Tradition" sessions.
>
>Bill Evans will play banjo with the band, known for his many years with the
>Dry Branch Fire Squad and his brilliant "History of the Banjo" seminars.
>His impeccable, note-perfect finesse can be heard on the highly touted CD,
>"Native and Fine" which blends straight-ahead Monroe brand bluegrass with
>his wonderful original tunes.
>
>But wait, there's more! On guitar, it's Jim Hurst, not yet a household name
>in bluegrass, but with his work in Claire Lynch's band and a brand new solo
>CD, "Open Window", we'll be hearing much more from this versatile and
>talented musician.
>
>Finally, one of the most respected bass players in the country, Missy
>Raines, will round out this stellar quintet with her fiery, rock-solid
>playing. Her timing has kept the beat for Claire Lynch, The Eddie Adcock
>Band and innumerable recording sessions for many years.
>
>Don't miss this great line-up!! For an evening of fine bluegrass music, be
>at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle (5213 Ballard Ave. NW) Thursday, Nov.
>19th, 8:00 PM. For ticket information, please call the Seattle Folklore
>Society at 206-528-8523. Tickets are $11 in advance, $13 at the door. SFS

>**VANCE GILBERT**
>**LYNN MILES**
>Sunday, November 22
>Tractor Tavern, 7:30pm
>$10/9 SFS member
>Philo recording artists Vance Gilbert and Lynn Miles will be performing a
>rare double bill at the Tractor Tavern on Nov. 22nd at 7:30pm. Ticket
>prices are $10 general, $9 SFS members.
>
>Vance Gilbert
>Raised in Philadelphia and a resident of Boston, Vance Gilbert is one of a
>very few black artists to embrace the 'singer songwriter' genre. While his
>voice may continually garner soulful comparisons and his guitar draws
>flattering allusions to George Benson, Vance cites Shawn Colvin as his
>inspiration (they have toured thirty markets together). It is this meeting
>of worlds that gives Vance his uncompromising edge.
>
>Named Kerrville Music Awards's Vocalist of the Year in 1997, Vance has
>recently released his album "Shaking Off Gravity", his third album. It is
>significant that among the handful of special guests gracing the album -
>including vocal alchemist and percussionist Vinx (who recorded for Sting's
>label, Pangea) - are Patty Larkin and Cliff Eberhardt, two artists who
>similarly bucked current technology-mania by releasing stark song-oriented
>albums in 1997.
>
>"The voice of an angel, the wit of a devil and the guitar of a god." -
>Forth Worth Star-Telegram
>
>"Among the quintessential musical poets of the '90s" - Dirty Linen
>
>"If you remember a young Rickie Lee Jones, Vance's clear and pleasing voice
>mixes ingredients in much the same way. Just one listen and it's clear why
>pickers and singers like Shawn Colvin, Patty Larkin, David Wilcox and Tuck
>and Patti are just a few of Vance Gilbert's famous fans." - The Gavin Report
>
>Lynn Miles
>With a crystal-clear voice and an insightful songwriting style, Canadian
>Lynn Miles is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters to cross the
>border since Joni Mitchell. On "Slightly Haunted", Lynn's Philo debut, she
>blends folk, country and pop influences into an evocative mix, establishing
>herself as one of the most auspicious new arrivals on the scene!
>
>Lynn's classically trained voice portrays the honesty and clarity of the
>emotions expressed in her songs. Her songs are a product of years spent on
>the road honing her craft and fine-tuning her art. After opening for
>Richard Thompson on his Fall 1996 tour, Lynn came to Seattle as a solo act
>and played two sold out shows at the RoadRunner Coffeehouse. She now
>returns to showcase a new set of songs she is recording with producer Larry
>Klein, who has produced projects with Joni Mitchell and Shawn Colvin.
>
>"Lynn Miles has a gorgeous, clear voice and a way of writing a song that
>might make you think she has lived your life." Eric Fidler, Associated
>Press
>
>"Lynn Miles...showed a gift for clear melodies and a sweet, tremulous
>voice, filled with aching delicacy; she made being forlorn sound like a
>state of grace." Jon Pareles, New York Times
>
>"The evening's main revelation, though, was the Washington area debut of
>Canadian singer-songwriter Lynn Miles. She sang half a dozen songs, and
>every one boasted a glorious pop melody that rose and fell over surprising
>chord changes." Geoffrey Himes, The Washington Post

>**Cry Cry Cry**
>Saturday December 5, 8pm
>UW Kane Hall
>COMPOSED OF Lucy Kaplansky, Richard Shindell, and Dar Williams
>You will not want to miss out on this rare opportunity to see three of the
>most compelling singer-songwriters of the 90's peforming together!soni The
>project afforded each artist an opportunity to take a break from their solo
>careers and record songs by other artists, songs they love, ranging from
>Appalachian-style country to rock to the gamut of American music in
>between.
>
>Shindell, Kaplansky and Williams joined together to form Crubtitle for the
>album could be, 'It's the song, stupid,'" jokes Shindell.
>
>Shindell, Kaplansky and Williams joined together to form Cry Cry Cry as a
>side project to celebrate the astonishing revitalization in contemporary
>songwriting they have witnessed as they tour the U.S. and Canada. "This has
>been a tremendously exciting project, getting the opportunity to interpret
>songs Lucy, Richhard, and I have heard in our travels," says Williams.
>"Songs we've heard at festivals, at clubs... even on the radio driving from
>gig to gig."
> reply
>For each "Fall on Me" (by R.E.M.), there is a song by a virtual unknown,
>such as "Northern Cross" by Leslie Smith, a home-maker and part-time
>performer from Pittsburgh, who records for Waterbug Records, the tiny label
>on which Williams began her career. Other artists whose songs appear on the
>album include Greg Brown, Ron Sexsmith, Texan Robert Earl Keen, and
>Canadian James Keelaghan.
> reply
>The album was produced by Darleen Wilson and Alan Williams with
>arrangements by Larry Campbell, the touring string wizard for Bob Dylan and
>k.d. lang. The songwriters whose tunes appear on the album will be invited
>to appear as special guests on the tour, in a rotating basis from city to
>city. It is not known if R.E.M. will accept the invitation, but Cliff
>Eberhardt, whose song "Memphis" appears on the album will be opening the
>Seattle show.
