9pm- Vienna D’Amato Hall
Genre: folk-rock
For fans of: Ryan Adams, Laura Marling, Leonard Cohen, Robert Plant & Allyson Krauss.

Vienna’s music was first inspired by traditional, American Folk songs as well following the lyrical genius of her fellow Canadian, Leonard Cohen. During the making of her debut album, “It’s What the Dog Saw”, Vienna incorporated electric elements into her sound, resulting in story telling that progresses into a visceral explosion; this can be heard on such tracks as “It’s What the Dog Saw”, “Dear Child”, and “In the Orchard”.

11pm- Dick Valentine
Genre: Solo acoustic
For fans of: I am the lead singer of Electric Six. But you could say I have some Roky Erikson, Tom Waits, Talking Heads in me.

Dick Valentine is best known as the frontman for Electric Six, but in the last few years he has been known to play solo acoustic sets both in the US and the UK. He has two solo albums, “Destroy The Children” and “Halloween Fingers” and his set consists of a healthy mix of songs from those albums as well as Electric Six songs done acoustically. Requests are taken, drinks are consumed, and occasionally audience members can come up and sing backing vocals. Though originally from Detroit, Valentine has lived in Prospect Heights for 7 years and is always excited about being able to walk 2 blocks to his gig at The Way Station. Valentine is available for private parties, religious ceremonies and also charges a lofty consulting fee in his role as a private consultant.

“With many absurd lyrics and heartfelt, but rigorous acoustic guitar playing, this is a frontman’s acoustic set at its best” -- The Yorker (York, UK)

“(Valentine) prefers not to think about it. Why push genius, anyway?” QRO Magazine
