Milton Carrero + Daniel Amedee & Gold Light + Chaquis Maliq + Ayumi Ishito @ The Way Station

8pm- Milton Carrero
Genre: World Music
For fans of: Manu Chao,

A mix of Caribbean rhythms with soulful melodies that flirt with blues, jazz, bossa nova, flamenco, reggae, cha-cha-cha and more.

“Carrero’s music has a thoughtful feel with gentle rhythms. It displays a wide variety of influences — flamenco, jazz, son, bossa nova, gypsy and reggae. Carrero’s soulful, heartfelt vocals make many of his works sound like love songs, but the lyrics are spiritual instead of about personal relationships, reflecting his positive attitude about life.”
- Morning Call news, Pennsylvania

9pm- Daniel Amedee and Gold Light
Genre: Folk, Rock, Blues
For fans of: John Lennon, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison

Daniel Amedee is a New Orleans musician who plays an acoustic driven style of folk rock. He’s has recorded two albums at Radical House Studios in San Francisco, CA with producer Charles Gonzalez (Coo Coo Birds, Blank Tapes). The first, “Themes From…” was released in May 2011 worldwide through Expat Records and the second, “Climbing”, will be released in the coming months. My records feature performances by percussionist Pat Spurgeon (Rogue Wave), Sylvain Carton (Beats Antique, John Vanderslice), and Charith Premawardhana (Mars Volta, Classical Revolution) as well as many other great musicians from the bay area.

“Daniel Amedee is a…singer from New Orleans. He describes his music as orchestral rock but I guess you might as well say it’s folk? I don’t know. En tout cas, his debut album Themes From ... is beautifully dreamy, very well produced and overall pretty enjoyable! A fitting warm summer evening soundtrack.” --Hendrik Schimpler - Poule D’or

“New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, right? I guess this is why the city is often referred to as the most unique in America, as Daniel Amedee is a singer songwriter who demonstrates a real knack for writing gorgeous cinematic choral pieces, like Home And Heartfelt.” --James Godwin - Informal Flick-Thru

“Daniel Amedee captures the soul of Cat Stevens in his incredible lyrics with a dynamic voice that can bellow low like that of Leonard Cohen or reach high like Elliot Smith. This is topped off with biting, epic music reminiscent of Arcade Fire. We are excited about the future of this talented New Orleans singer songwriter.” --Jeff Libby - CEO of Expat Records

Melodic SingerSongwriter & 1 Woman Band, Chaquis Maliq (ShaKees MahLeek), delivers the sound of Eccentric Tasteful Grooves and Honey Soul to her listeners. ArtsQuest calls her “Beauty, Brains, and Power of Soul”. Chaquis Maliq made the decision to transform as an artist in 2011 by picking up the guitar and displaying her genuine side; with the motivation to continue to uplift her audience on her first project featuring Mr. Maliq (her guitar) , entitled “Harmonies of Me” (Summer 2013). In 2014, Maliq made her successful debut as the 1 Woman Band for her Spring Tour, and received media attention as the 1 Woman Band performance artist to be featured in coverage of the Columbus Arts Festival for Fox28’s Good Day Columbus (Ohio). Chaquis’ guitar completes her cozy sound that locks you into her simple but complex lyrics and melodies.
