Sarah McCulloch is a Country/Americana Singer-Songwriter whose sweet, yet sultry, voice pierces right through the lush traditional country production on her latest album, Sawmiller’s Daughter. The songwriter’s emotive and nostalgic lyrics showcase her knack for timeless storytelling that transports the listener right into the center of the narrative.

Renowned journal of roots music, No Depression cited McCulloch as being, “one of the most memorable debuts in recent Americana music history,” and her sound as,  “genuine and sparkl[ing] with palpable emotion.” McCulloch’s style has also been described as being, “immensely human and emotive, bringing fine lyrical content to even more vivid life.” The lead singles releasing ahead of the album, including “Honey To A Bear” and “Half Crazy”, are steeped in country tradition and boast the kind of sentimental storytelling and tender vocal stylings that get under your skin. Fans of Dolly Parton, Lori McKenna, Miranda Lambert and Lee Ann Womack will surely connect with this evocative and timely song-wielding woman.​

BOB LIND

Today, 50-plus years into his impressive career, his songs have been covered by more than 200 quality artists. He’s writing and singing better than ever. And he’s playing his fantastic music all over the United States and Europe.

“Come and see why this engaging poet / guitarist / philosopher / singer / wise-ass has endured in the sometimes-cruel and always-fickle music business for [five decades]. But be prepared to feel emotions you may not have let yourself feel in a while – feelings that may scare you a little. His songs hit the heart like a wrecking ball!”

ADE PEEVER

Ade Peever is a fingerstyle acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter from the UK. A background in bucolic British folk runs parallel with a rocker streak nurtured by occasional reunions with Leeds’ loud r’n’b four-piece the Original Gravity Band. SoFlo-based since the 80’s, he’s alternated between folk (The Hautboys were residents at Linda Lou’s Cactus Cantina on SoBe in the 90s) and rock (Slide Area, another rock quartet, was named after a Ry Cooder album). In 2006 he released Green Man Said, an album of originals, featuring 28 players and a live-at-Leeds version of Bill Morrissey’s ballad “Robert Johnson.” Since 2007 he’s been singing with local Irish folk band Celtic Bridge. A rare acoustic set will highlight the story-element of the folk tradition.

$10 Cover Charge | 7:30 | Black Janet featuring George Zhen + Jamie Granger.

Following a stellar reunion performance at the Dan Hosker Music Continuum that was well-received by the audience, the members of Black Janet decided to keep the momentum going. Despite not having played together since the mid-1990s, the chemistry among the bandmates appeared stronger than ever, reigniting their passion for making music together.

During the 1990s, South Florida emerged as a thriving hub for musical talent, with many local acts poised to break onto the national stage. This era saw bands such as the Mavericks, Marilyn Manson, the Goods, Nuclear Valdez, Natural Causes, Vesper Sparrow, and Mary Karlzen attracting the attention of major labels eager to discover promising homegrown artists. Among these was Black Janet, a group that stood out for their unique sound and artistry.

Black Janet was regarded as one of the most adventurous bands in the South Florida scene, — Manson and his early aggregate, the Spooky Kids, notwithstanding. Their music was earnest, edgy, and brooding.  The band’s melodic style was reminiscent of bands as diverse as Roxy Music, The Cult, It’s A Beautiful Day and Echo and the Bunnymen, with vocals compared to David Bowie, Jim Morrison, Peter Murphy, Bryan Ferry, Patti Smith and P.J. Harvey.

The band’s exceptional debut full-length album, Love Thirsty, earned Black Janet numerous accolades, including a prestigious Jammy award. This recognition solidified their reputation as a standout act within the local music community.

“They were the biggest band in Broward,” recalls Rich Ulloa, head of Miami-based Y&T Records, home to budding hometown acts like the Mavericks, Mary Karlzen, and Amanda Green. “I saw one of their final shows, and it was one of the most compelling live performances I’d ever seen.”

The members of Black Janet include Amy Baxter on vocals, Frank Binger on drums, Rose Garguilo handling both lead and rhythm guitar, Dave Thompson on bass, Jim Wurster providing vocals and guitar, and George Zhen on keyboards.
