Danielle Doyle :: 7:30pm
Newcomer Danielle Doyle has been garnering much attention among audiences and fellow musicians, since she first emerged on the scene at the beginning of 2009. Danielle has been named a 2009 Mountain Stage NewSong Youth Winner, a winner of the weekly Lizard Lounge Open Mic challenge and has earned some incredible supporting slots including opening for Loudon Wainwright III, Dawn Landes, and Heather Masse (of The Wailin’ Jennys). A true performer, Danielle’s songs are best heard when she’s singing them live, when beautiful melodies, “sultry alt-country” vocals, and rich lyrics are interspersed with relaxed and comic banter that makes you feel like you’ve known the young songwriter forever.

Heather Maloney :: 8:30pm
With the fall release of her debut album Cozy Razor's Edge, she is quickly becoming known for her powerhouse performances, her highly original songwriting, her memorable melodies, her expressive vocals and evocative lyricism. Her debut album Cozy Razor's Edge will take you through the depths of the human experience. Maloney describes this record as her "heartfelt effort to integrate music and awareness, creativity and presence; the intention to dance along the line between sound and silence."
The Seven Days said: “Read up enough on Massachusetts-based songwriter Heather Maloney’s debut disc Cozy Razor’s Edge and you’ll notice a curious critical conundrum unfold, as one bewildered scribe after another attempts to pin down her sound by invoking an eyebrow-raising range of presumed influences”
"Maloney writes evocative music that urges peace and harmony and boasts full-bodied, knock you dead vocal" The Valley Advocate (Northampton MA)

Garlic and Moonshine :: 10pm
Boston-based Garlic & Moonshine developed roots in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts when long-time friends and collaborators Matthew Rowen (acoustic guitar), Kirsten Lamb (upright bass), and Avi David (electric guitar) came together in January 2009 to record their debut album In Waves (to be released in March 2010). Their eclectic sound is grounded in creative songwriting and strong musicianship. In Waves is at times playful and bouncy, at others sparse and introspective. With just three members, Garlic & Moonshine's is a substantial sound sometimes ambient, sometimes two-stepping, sometimes infectiously groovy.
