Paul Ryan Presents:

8pm- Samantha Brown

Samantha Brown is a singer/songwriter in the NYC area. Sam works with various young musicians as a songwriter and collaborates with many local musicians. Check her out lending vocals to the talented Ugly, Ugly Words at SoundCloud.com

9pm- Zuni Mountain Boys

Genre: Americanca

The Zuni Mountain Boys are an Americana duo based out of Brooklyn, NY. Connor McGinnis and Matt Campbell formed the group in early 2014. They recorded their first EP in East Nashville in late May over two days, and released it via bandcamp in August 2014. The five song EP consists predominantly of two acoustic guitars, and two part harmonies with Connor singing the leads, and Matt accompanying. Dobro and piano are the only other accents on the recording, leaving the sound spare, with little more than is necessary to deliver the song. The lyrics hesitate to dip into the abstract, and instead paint the sound with ordinary images that allow the listener to arrive at something larger on their own.

10pm- Mike O’Malley

Genre: Screamer-Songwriter.

For fans of: Tom Waits, Glen Hansard, The Decemberists, Fiona Apple

Mike O’Malley carries a lot of anger around. He endeavors to funnel said extra energy into a rollicking, kinetic set of folk songs for drinking, howling, and stomping to. He would specifically love to howl with you.

11pm- The Moon and You

Genre: cello/folk

For fans of: Leon Redbone, Nick Drake, Gillian Welch, Richard and Linda Thompson

Melissa Hyman and Ryan Furstenberg are musical mad scientists who bring the sparks of life to old forms. One stormy night, in the midst of demented cackling, they created the Moon and You. Armed with cello, guitar, harmonica, foot percussion, and vocal cords they play their versions of ragtime, country, lounge jazz, and bluegrass up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Come for the soothing vocal harmonies and intricate arrangements and stay for the awkward stage banter.

“Their songs are heartfelt, but neither cloying nor saccharine.” -Ali Marshall *The Mountain Xpress*

“Unlike many acoustic folk duos, Asheville’s the Moon and You features

acoustic guitar and cello, which allows the band to get a deeper, smokier

tone than similar acts. Melissa Hyman’s cello also provides a groovy, dynamic presence, channeling sultry jazz swing on the down-to-earth ode “Diamondz,” haunting folk-grass on “Baker’s Daughter,” and harmony-enriched folk-pop like the foot-tapping “Take Me With You.” While Hyman holds down the hearty bottom end, Ryan Furstenberg’s fingerstyle guitar does soft-shoe over the top, allowing the tenderly plucked melodies to dance watercolor wisps that gently fade into each other. And the sonic yin-yang extends beyond their instruments. Fustenberg also possesses a booming, oaky baritone that plays nicely against Hyman’s sweet girlish coo. The pair only started making music together a little more than a year ago, but since then they’ve released two live six-song EPs on BandCamp. At least a few tracks seem inspired by the pair’s obvious chemistry and shared affection, recalling the intimate earnest spirit of fellow North Carolina couple-combo Bowerbirds.” —*Chris Parker* Charleston City Paper
