Martina Fiserova + The Resonant Rogues + JCK @ The Way Station

8pm- Martina Fiserova
Genre: folk jazz
For fans of: Joni Mitchell, Lizz Wright, Kate Bush, Tracy Chapman

An experienced singer from Prague, Czech republic, performing her original music. M.F.has been surrounded by musicians since the moment she was born. It took her many years to realize and accept the fact that she is becoming a musician herself. After a decade spent gaining experiences on the Prague Jazz Scene (from blues and fusion oriented bands to cooperations with international bands, backing up rockstars and diving into silence with music therapy), she decided to get her ass kicked by the New York City, especially due to her having a serious affair with the devilish Charette and his "reliably burning" chops.

“Her voice is graceful, and her phrasing and delivery are right on tempo.” - James Nadal, All About Jazz

“Her biography is impressive. (...) Jazz pop? Folk jazz? Either way it's cool, and if this is the sort of stuff she is capable of writing then I hope there is more on the way.” - Tony Emmerson, Prague Jazz Blogspot

9-11pm- The Resonant Rogues
Genre: Balkan, gypsy jazz, and folk
For fans of:  Andrew Bird, Dark Dark Dark, Gogol Bordello, Hurray for The Riff Raff

From the mountains of western North Carolina, to the streets of New Orleans, to the clubs & theaters of the nations biggest cities and smallest towns, The Resonant Rogues have been winning the hearts of audiences from coast to coast. Since their inception in the spring of 2013,  they have spent months touring the U.S. and even overseas for a month in Europe. Keith Smith and Sparrow Pants write songs that transcend genres, and their meaningful lyrics and infectious melodies will catch your ear and move your feet.  With accordion, guitar, violin, upright bass, banjo, and vocal harmonies, their instrumentation and stylization are at once innovative and steeped in tradition.

"The Resonant Rogues journey through a variety of folk traditions. With their band, Asheville songwriters Keith Smith (guitar, percussion, vocals) and Sparrow (accordion, banjo, vocals) blend balkan, klezmer, and Gypsy music with hot jazz and old time mountain standards." Ami Worthen, Mountain Xpress

11pm- JCK
For fans of:  Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Incubus

JCK fronts the nationally touring hard hitting rock band Maid Myriad and will strip down to just his trademark voice and acoustic guitar to perform a fresh batch of acoustic songs showcasing the softer side of his cerebral take on music. JCK's crooning vocals and spiderweb fingerpicking guitar has earned him such praise as "Sounds like if Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake went out on a full moon heartbreak bar crawl."
