Monster Monday Madness- The Burning + Dan Barrecchia + Sara Nelms + Jordan Levinson + Breanna Barbara @ The Way Station

6pm- Monster Monday Madness- The Burning

8pm- Dan Barrecchia

9pm- Sara Nelms
Genre: singer songwriter/ folk
For fans of: Dixie chicks, Alanis Morrissett, Civil Wars

Originally from Florida, Sara’s sound combines the control and melodic power of her classical training, melancholy of lost loves, the southern stylings from a lifetime love affair with country music, and the grit and truth found in her current home in New York City. All of this, still leaving you with the hope of a positive outcome in things to come. Her new album, Lover, No Longer captures this spirit completely, through woven tales of love, loss, heartache, and hope. “With her individual vocal delivery and strong songwriting, Nelms isn’t trying to be anyone else, and why should she be? Lover, No Longer is an extremely consistent effort and if this is anything to judge by, then it certainly looks like a long career is ahead of Sara Nelms," says Ross Barber.

Critic Justin Kreitzer says, “classically trained, her versatile acoustic-based sound is fluid enough to slide between intimate coffee shops and club stages with full band arrangements without losing any of the passion in translation.” Also, “she possesses one heck of a beautiful voice. And with the understated yet infectious country-leaning folk-pop melodies and captivating songwriting on her exceptional new album, Lover, No Longer; singer-songwriter Sara Nelms should attract the type of national attention that she deserves”.

10pm- Jordan Levinson
Genre: Urban country
For fans of: John Prine, Townes van Zandt, Emmylou Harris, Be Good Tanyas

Jordan is a young singer-songwriter from the Hudson Valley. She grew up steeped in the NYC-expat folk scene, but quickly sought out a grittier habitat, landing first in anti-folk and now forging around this 'urban country' world, which thankfully seems to be a thing these days. She's just back from a few years working in West Africa and is happy to be back in Brooklyn and expanding her musical family. Sometimes solo, sometimes accompanied, always at your service.
