The Dragonflies + Maudlin Maladies + Sidecar Agogo + Jack Davis and Crossbite @ The Way Station
8pm- The Dragonflies
Genre: Jazz/Pop/World/Indie
For fans of: Regina Spektor, Feist, Kat Edmonson, Bon Iver, Ingrid Michaelson
The Dragonflies is a new women-fronted band with sensuous melodies, unexpected lyrics, and a sophisticated international flavor. Vlada’s slightly breathy and breath-taking vocals and Sana’s exquisite violin improvisations will make your head turn 360 degrees. They speak the languages of jazz, pop, and folk music from around the world with equal ease. Their renditions of ballades de torches francais will make you remember words you’ve never known — ou-la-la! — while their catchy and driven originals can become the background music in your mind.

Maudlin Maladies invents haunting, lonesome dirges from clouds that sometimes have silver linings. The music is typically self-revealing, introspective and focuses on the inner struggles of the modern man. Originally out of Rochester NY, Maudlin Maladies has been making records for 3+ years and is now supporting a brand new record called "Scratch/Dig".

10pm- Sidecar Agogo
Genre: World jam fiddle funk
For fans of: Phish, The Meters, Vassar Clements
Sidecar Agogo is the vehicle for fiddle-driven compositions which give a nod to bluegrass, Celtic, Latin, afrobeat, jazz and jamband influences. The band can be seen playing in and around their home in Brooklyn, NY. Sidecar Agogo members are well seasoned (but not quite salty) musicians with a wide range of experience from symphony orchestra to childrens bands, from Turkish bellydance music to straight ahead jazz. Members of the band have opened up for or performed with Paige McConnell (Phish) Dave Mason (Traffic), 10,000 Maniacs, Ed Mann (Frank Zappa), Kerry Livgren (Kansas), Tom Marshall, The Dude of Life (Phish), Alan Gilbert (NY Philharmonic), Gene Pitney, The Moody Blues, Ryan Montbleau.
"An eclectic of mix of latin influence with bluegrass hillbilly with a fierce fiddler' that will get you moving. I have seen some fiddle players back in the days of the Craftsbury old time fiddlers contests up in Vermont, but this player could teach them a thing or two..."

11pm- Jack Davis and Crossbite
Genre: Rock, blues rock, RnB
For fans of: Stevie Ray Vaughn, Chicago, Dave Matthews, Black Crowes, Laura Nyro, The Doors
Jack Davis and Crossbite brings a totally unique voice to the NYC music scene. An unusual but natural sound born of rock, blues and RnB with elements of country, Celtic, African and Native American music. Fronted by singer/songwriter Jack Davis, the crack rhythm section of bass, drums & guitar is topped off by intense, storytelling lyrics, hard blowing trombone, the Irish bodhran and congas. Driving tunes to get your heart, brain and loins pumping. This bunch loves to play and hang with good folks.
