Sept 19, Thurs: Lesley Kernochan + Noble Kin + The Waysties + Jacknife Sympathy @ The Way Station

8pm – Lesley Kernochan

Genre: singer/songwriter + ham

For fans of: Gillian Welch, Flight of the Conchords, Regina Spektor

Lesley Kernochan is equal parts singer/songwriter and ham. Her show is therefore a bit like going on a beautiful hike in the forest with a bubble gun and a partially tamed dragon. Lesley’s voice is both intimate and powerful and her songs bounce between hilarious and heartfelt. She has toured with many eclectic bands including The March Fourth Marching Band and Vagabond Opera.

“Filled with unending smile-inducing brilliance!” – KBOO, Portland OR

“Kernochan’s jazzy pop is intelligent, playful, and has plenty of nuance and groove to boot.” - CDBaby Pick of the Week

9 pm – Noble Kin

Genre: Rock-ish

For fans of: Imagine if Kurt Vile were born to Daniel Johnston, or if Neil Young ended up running a bookstore in Manitoba for decades, only to be discovered as an old man, sitting on a pile of self-made eight-track demos, and you won’t be far off.

“Noble Kin,” the concluding phrase of a long forgotten folk song, provides both a convenient metaphor and fitting origin for the modern Brooklyn band of the same name. Keith Polasko, the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist primarily responsible for the assemblage, was born not far from New York City some years ago and has been plying his trade in Brooklyn since earlier phases of the borough’s notorious gentrification. A sometimes dedicated recluse, he recorded Noble Kin’s new EP, “Cornish Litany” in a secluded Catskills cabin with engineer and part-time lion tamer Reed Black.

The Wild Honey Pie says Noble Kin’s “work steps cautiously and beautifully from hushed folk to ambling Americana, embracing melancholy but never giving in to it.”

10 pm – The Waysties

The Waysties leave their barstools and take the stage for a night of raucous Irish songs and Irished-up rock covers. Featuring The Rose West’s Alex and Robare, Painless Parker’s Noam, Molly of Mist Covered Mountains and Sarah Biz.

11 pm – Jacknife Sympathy

Genre: Rock/Soul

For fans of: Al Green, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie

Vince Parker and Daniel Serrato formed Jacknife Sympathy in October 2012. The pair have formulated their own unique style of Rock, Soul and Blues by blending their Texan and Detroit roots along with a Brooklyn flavor. Shahar Mintz (guitar) and Jordan Scannella (bass) complete the lineup and help bring the original songs to another level. Jacknife Sympathy recorded The Kennel Sessions-EP in 2013 and are currently working on a new EP scheduled for release in early 2014.
