Scott Forbes + Eric Vitoff + Gridline + Prewar Yardsale @ The Way Station

8pm- Scott Forbes
Genre: Singer Songwriter/Acoustic Rock
For fans of: Zac Brown, Shawn Mullins, Ed Robertson, Steven Page

Scott Forbes with his acoustic guitar is an indie rock story teller who resides in central Florida, many miles from his hometown of Westfield in western NY.  His songs are stories about life, love, and heartache, painted through sound with his unique voice and acoustic guitar. Scott performed almost nightly while working full time and raising a family from 1999-2005, and eventually became burnt out and frustrated playing for anyone who would listen so he walked away from music. Although away from the stage, all the while he continued to write and hone his craft on the guitar and in June 2012 he returned to play his music, write new songs, and live in the moment through music. He is a member of Songwriters Showcases of America, International Songwriters Guild and BMI.

9pm- Eric Vitoff
Genre: looping/acoustic/house/dance
For fans of: Daft Punk, James Blake, Reggie Watts, John Mayer, Bag Raiders

Long Island born and raised and now Brooklyn based, Eric Vitoff's tunes toe the imaginary line between the genres of house/dance and acoustic singer-songwriter. Equipped just with an acoustic guitar and some effects pedals, he builds pulsing, colorful beats that make your feet move and your mind wonder just where all those sounds are coming from.

Gridline is a five piece party rock & roll band, the most recent project of Daniel Kottmann (Guitar/Vocals), Andrew Yanchyshyn (Bass/Vocals), Rachel Kroft (Vocals), Neal Spitzer (Saxophone) and Clint Mobley (Drums). Hailing from the New York metropolitan area, this infectious groove has snaked its way from Philadelphia all the way to the Canadian border and everywhere in between.  Gridline delivers a heavy dose of funky rock fusion with roots in the funk, jazz & rock psychedelia movements of the 1960s and 70s. We will keep you on your feet all night long.

“Gridline kicks ass. Funky as dog shit!” - Joe Ferry (Skatalites, Dr. John, Regina Spektor)
