Dan Krochmal + Maya Sharpe + Darling + Red Art Trader @ The Way Station

8pm- Dan Krochmal
Genre: Alternative/Soul
For fans of: Jeff Buckley, John Mayer, Ryan Adams

Melbourne-raised singer-songwriter Dan Krochmal is in his element playing in softly lit bars, silencing crowds with his soaring voice, innovative guitar-playing, and heartfelt songs. Often armed with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and his warm multi-octave voice, the 23-year-old’s soulful, bluesy sound is a throwback to an earlier time.

9pm- Maya Sharpe
Genre: Folk, soul, jazz
For fans of: Erykah Badu and Amel Larrieux

Indie jazz with undertones of folksy soul. Combining layers of complex melody lines and image-inducing lyrics, it moves fluidly in-between genres.

“She has a light, country-tinged, voice with an attractive fragility to it: her voice and Handy’s soprano sax form an affecting combination.” - All About Jazz

10pm- Darling
Genre: Vocal-driven pop, rock and soul

Initially conceived by singer-songwriter Kate Douglas, Darling combines muscular vocal harmonies and driving beats with feline grit and style.

Douglas began working with vocalists Barrie McLain and Molly McAdoo while performing with Courtney Love in the rock opera Kansas City Choir Boy. They are joined by several other world-class musicians including pianist and vocalist Matthew Marsh.

Between the four, these musicians have performed in venues across the country including Madison Square Garden, The Appel Room at Time Warner Center, Le Poisson Rouge and worked with artists such as Todd Almond, PigPen Theatre Co, Shaina Taub, Sherie Rene Scott and Justin Vivian Bond.

Darling is gaining a fast following for their rambunctious show that combines pop, rock, soul with a unique theatrical sensibility.
