Brought together by a mutual love of old-fashioned, guitar pickin’ close country duets, heartbreak songs and booze, this acoustic duo plays a range of eclectic covers and original tunes. In the style of great country duos, George & Melba, Dolly & Porter, Prine & DeMent - Donlad & Lydia bring you sweet, sweet honky-tonk harmony duets with an ear to the past and a mouth full of sass. A wise-crackin’ good time, soaked in heartache, whiskey, and loneliness served neat, no chaser.

10pm- The Sometime Boys

Genre: Americana (folk/country/bluegrass/blues)

For fans of: Joni Mitchell, Iron & Wine, Nick Drake, Loretta Lynn, Jorma Kaukonen

Founded in 2010 by vocalist Sarah Mucho and guitarist Kurt Leege, The Sometime Boys have quickly leapt to the forefront of the urban roots music scene in New York. Featuring succinct songwriting, they blend elements of bluegrass, country, folk, gospel and zydeco into a unique, refreshing Americana sound. Framing the elegance of MAC award winning vocalist Sarah Mucho is an intricate canvas of violin, guitar and keyboard brushstrokes and a soulful rhythm section that won’t quit. After recording their debut album, ‘Any Day Now’ in 2010, The Sometime Boys added Pete O’Connell on upright bass, Jay Cowit on drums and Rebecca Weiner Tompkins on violin and have since been tearing it up on the New York music scene.

“The Sometime Boys are an experimental folk band who deserve to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.” -adobeandteardrops.blogspot.com

“Times may be tough, but music like this makes us think about what is most important.” -overidon.com

“Their debut album Any Day Now was one of 2011’s best, and their gentle but intense and unselfconsciously beautiful new one Ice and Blood is a strong contender for best of 2012.” - New York Music Daily

Long Island born and raised and now Brooklyn based, Eric Vitoff’s tunes toe the imaginary line between the genres of house/dance and acoustic singer-songwriter.
