RAY BONNEVILLE

Marc Delgado + The John Burdick Trio
Marc Delgado is a poet, short story writer & songwriter from Woodstock, NY.
ANNALYSE & RYAN
Annalyse & Ryan are an Americana duo based in Beacon, NY. Their sound and songs take listeners on a soulful, rootsy journey. The duo’s strong harmonies melt together seamlessly with an undeniable edge. The duo’s 2023 EP, Trilogy, available on all major streaming platforms, can be described as uplifting, epic, and heartfelt. Their single “Tough Luck” from this project was just awarded Silver in Adult Contemporary in the 2024 Songwriter’s Association of Washington Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. The project was produced by Justin Guip (Levon Helm, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams, Hot Tuna) at Milan Hill Studio.
The music that Annalyse & Ryan create is a symbiotic clash reminiscent of their differing senses of place, yet their ironically parallel styles of seeing the world.
HAMELL ON TRIAL
HAMELL ON TRIAL
If Bill Hicks played loud guitar; if Lenny Bruce sang protest songs; if Phil Ochs rocked. We can only imagine these scenarios, but we don’t have to imagine foul-mouthed yet whip-smart SAMMY Awards Hall of Famer Hamell on Trial. There’s a reason he was called “a homicidal Otto Preminger” by Rolling Stone. Whether singing, shouting or pontificating about raising his son, raising hell or resisting the police, Hamell—his 1937 Gibson guitar screaming like a metal band—hits the mark every time. “I’m like the Beastie Boys,” he wails in “the Meeting,” “except I’m only one.” Just ask anyone who saw Hamell at Lucky Dog the first time why you shouldn’t miss his return.
The Dirt Whisperers
The Dirt Whisperers emerged from the pandemic hungry to play. Bradford is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, inventor and producer based in Gowanus Brooklyn. His main instrument is an invention of his own called a Pencilina. Eric is a Kansas native steeped in blues, gospel, country, early jazz and ragtime. He plays guitar and is the lead vocalist.
