The Mainstage Presents - New Voices=20 http://www.themainstage.org/newsletter/livelogo.jpg At The Arts Exchange in White Plains, New York=20 =09 =09 The Mainstage coffeehouse is very excited to present 3 concerts at the Grand Banking Room of the Westchester Arts Council in White Plains, New York.

The 4 Artists that will be featured in each of the 3 performances are all from the Northeast and have all garnered rave reviews from the critics, DJ's and folk festival showcases. They have been honing their craft for years and we are excited to present this venue to display their talents. Thursday March 13th, 2008 ~ 7:30pm =20 Trina Hamlin=20 http://www.themainstage.org/newsletter/trinah.jpgTrina Hamlin is an artist with a genuine soul who knowingly speaks for each of us who revel in both the joy and pain of longing. Her pure voice and unspoiled powerful presence have gained the singer-songwriter from Minneapolis a steady national following since she began playing solo shows on the downtown New York City club scene. She has played shows with notables such as Paula Cole, Duncan Sheik, Ricki Lee Jones and John Hiatt. She was chosen as one of the "Most Wanted New Artists" at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and as an alumnus of the Newport Folk Festival, performed to a sold out crowd along with Ani DiFranco, Dar Williams and the Indigo Girls.

Father and son, David and Adrian Mowry, deliver a surprisingly soulful performance. Their singing is tough and controlled and their guitar work is crisp and mournful." (Tune-UP Magazine), "Covers and reworkings mix nicely with own compositions like the tender 'Crying Won't Help You' and the roots number 'Shiver To The Bone'. The recording quality is outstanding and the songs obviously benefit from this. Out Of The Woodwork is in my mind genuine craftsmanship" (Bobtje Blues),"An acoustic masterpiece" ~Big City Blues Magazine.

Legendary Philadelphia radio deejay, Michael Tearson wrote in SingOut! Magazine, "These songs are literate, exacting portraits in amber... Nicely played and beautifully recorded." His albums contain songs that have garnered Balkey recognition in over a dozen songwriting competitions across the country including being named Kerrville New Folk Winner in 2005 as well as finalist at the Mountain Stage New Song Festival songwriting competition in 2003 and 2004.
