Meaghan Burke + Lights from the Loft + Tim Haufe + A Valley Son @ The Way Station

8pm- Meaghan Burke
Genre: Post-Grunge Cabaret
Fro fans of: Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, Tom Lehrer, Billie Holiday

Praised for her “alarming tour-de-force intensity” (The Examiner) and “impossibly beautiful but in no way forgiving” songs (The Deli), Meaghan Burke writes haunting, festively dark songs for cello and voice, part art, part pop, with witty, macabre lyrics and killer riffs. With inspirations ranging from Nirvana to Cole Porter to Anton Webern, she tells stories of bedbugs, bedfellows, and the apocalypse, wedding her sundry influences of Brechtian cabaret, 1990s grunge, old-school blues, and avant-garde contemporary music.

"Impossibly beautiful but in no way forgiving." - The Deli NYC

"...alarming tour de force intensity..." - The Examiner

"We admit, one could dispute whether this is pop. But let’s just say, it should be." - Robert Rotifer, FM4 Radio / Popfest Curator (Austria)

"...what she’s created is too personal, too direct and unusual to claim she’s a songwriter – which sounds categorically absurd but it’s true – it’s like she’s a songwriter, imploded." - The Deli NYC

Lights from the Loft is a new project based out of Brooklyn NY. LFTL explores the intersection of jazz, folk, experimental and popular music. Forward thinking though rooted in melody, the music lives in between the cracks of genre.

"Zach has that rare but should be universal approach to creative music, he studies and knows the history from where it came from...As a bassist, he can create the atmosphere, in solo or ensemble for the listener to understand his consciousness; in other words he is there!" - George Manning, In The Tradition, WEAA 88.9 FM, Morgan State University Radio

Tim Haufe is a songwriter and musician who grew up in Poughkeepsie, NY. His music is volatile, desperate, beautiful, dynamic, and full of hope. Haufe currently lives in New York, where he is striving to establish for his music the grand reputation that it deserves.

“Tim has all the qualities one looks for in a live performance: He is in tune with the elasticity of the crowd. I could feel myself being drawn closer and closer to the music as the song went on.” - Daniel Dissinger, InStereoPress
