Hamin Reed + Fingers Delrey + Dalton Deschain + The Sky Captains of Intustry @ The Way Station

8pm- Hamin Reed
Genre: Acoustic
For fans of: Elliott Smith, Tool

Hamin Reed [hay min reid] conveys love & hate, dark & light, everything between & everything outside, and what it means to the human psyche. Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1984, he has been performing regularly solo or with different musicians from all over the world. Currently based in New York City.

“An acoustic artist who challenges the notions of wood, strings, and sentiment . . . Just as much a slap in the face of your “folky” values as it is an embrace of humanity song, craft, and experiment.” -- Jason Medina (Producer/Promoter, Transient Authority)

“Jeff Andrade’s musical project Hamin Reed goes unparalleled in its diversity of sound and talent. His voice is warm and heartbreaking on ballads and he can rock harder than any hardcore musician I’ve seen. The lyrics are thought provoking and emotionally moving to whimsically entertaining. Hamin Reed crosses a plethora of genres with a facility that does not make their performances seem disjointed. It is to say that whilst traversing through a variety of styles, there exists a continuity that is never lacking. Hamin Reed is an act that defines what more acts in current state should be, talented, creative and entertaining.” -- Daniel Ouellette (Performance Artist, Daniel Ouellette and the Shobijin)

“Get inside the head and heart of one of the most evoking songwriters I have ever encountered. Genius insight to the world and who we are in it. I’ve been everywhere from Bluebird Cafe in Nashville to The Bitter End in NYC listening to hundreds of songwriters and none have been quite as prodigious as Jeff. He has inspired and ignited me as both a listener and a producer-songwriter. He has been an exquisite new addition to my ipod as well as an amazing addition to my life as a friend. Check him out. You will not regret it.” -- Nicole Berkowitz (Producer-songwriter, The Willow Tree)

9pm- Fingers Delrey and his Blusicians
Genre: Blues
For fans of: blues, BB King, Mose Allison,

Toby “Fingers” DelRey developed his hot stylings while a lad at the St. Ignatius Orphanage for Wayward Sinners. Sister Serenity, a crusty old nun with a musical bent, sensed the child’s prodigious talent and, taking him under her wing, tutelaged him with a combination of Jelly Roll Morton, Johann Sebastian Bach and a strict regimen of dowsing the keyboard of the rectory piano -- a 1911 Flambe-Carbone upright -- with a solution of molasses and 190 proof corn liquor, setting it ablaze with the cherry of her White Owl and forcing the young genius to extinguish the flames with his speedy scales.
As Finger’s remarked recently in a rare moment of verbal lucidity: “The blues is in my blood, the stride is in my soul and the fire is in my heart.”

“Thanks a lot for sending me your album. I’ve been playing it on my show...lot’s of good tracks!” - Norman Davis “Midnight Flyer” syndicated radio host (streamed from KYOU San Francisco, CA)
“One of the best piano players of the last ten years in the blues self release scene.......Fine style, great musical taste!” - Simone Bargelli (dj for “Rock n Blues Today”, Italy)

Soul Bag (France-Le Magazine Francais du blues et de la Soul #198, Avril-Mai-Juin 2010) Toby “Fingers” Del Rey **** 4 stars!( Excellent, un disque sans déchet. Ou presque...)

“Kind of avante-garde blues with a touch of Chico Marx!” - David Bennett Cohen, pianist with Country Joe and the Fish, Elvin Bishop, Hubert Sumlin and Jimmy Vivino

11pm- The Sky Captains of Intustry
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Rock and Roll
For fans of: David Bowie, Devo, Queen

The Sky Captains of Industry came from the future to inform you about the upcoming apocalypse and/or to rock it to rubble. Are they men? Are they machines? Will they indeed save the rest of your heart?

While allegories dressed as science fiction may not be new to this world, they’ve never been more aesthetically pleasing than they are here. I mean, at bottom, once you strip away all the concept and metaphor, Rocket City is just a really, really great sounding record of awesome songs.”— Chris Michael, Eat That Guitar
