Hamin Reed + Kevin Harrison & True North + Ben Clark & the Long Shadows @ 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- Kevin Harrison & True North
Genre: (Folky/Bluesy) Rock & Roll
For fans of: Black Crowes, Neil Young, Eagles, Allman Brothers

Kevin Harrison & True North was founded to bring a once familiar style of music back to the forefront of New York City’s legendary scene – Rock & Roll. With all due respect to synth-pop, psych-garage, shoegaze, or any of the other hip genres taking a hold of the city’s soundscape, we build our music on a time-honored foundation of inspired songwriting, strong rhythms, and guitars that are both soaring and soulful. Our “folky-bluesy rock” draws on decades of tradition, while recognizing that it’s no longer 1969, for a lively combination of classic and modern vibes.
