It is so exactly what Patty was writing about. There's one kid who's tried suicide a number of times. There's even one kid who says he's "the local fag!" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1998 11:13:01 -0400 From: "Perlman, Judith" Subject: MM: Bowery Ballroom Show So, not one person wants to meet before or at the show Tuesday night? Is it cyber-halitosis? I only have e-mail at work, and won't be here next week. If you do want to meet, let me know today. Thanks.

(SteadyOnDC@aol.com) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1998 16:05:01 -0500 From: Chris Snyder Subject: MM: Boston House Concert Hello everyone I hope your day is going well. I am pleased to invite you to two special concerts taking place the weekend of August 22nd, and 23rd. They are special because of the artists and the enviroment in which they are presented. On August 22nd at 7pm we are pleased to present an evening show with Trina Hamlin, and Mica Richards. On August 23rd at 3pm the show will again feature Trina Hamlin this time teaming with Jess Klein. Admission for each show is $10 which goes straight to the performer. We are located at 39 Longfellow St. in Boston. If you want to make reservation we can be reached at this e-mail address or at (617) 288-4381. These two concerts are part of a homegrown concert series called Longfellow St. Concerts. Longfellow St. Concerts is a series of shows held in my family's house or in our backyard. Our goal is to present some of the best acoustic musicians in the business, in an intimate, comfortable enviroment. This type of show has long been the standard through the middle of the country where folk clubs are few and far between. For years artists like Greg Brown, Christine Lavin, and others have opted to play shows in peoples homes rather than risk playing a show in a local bar. Because we live in one of the richest music enviroments in the country we have been denied the privelege of seeing artists in such a small, intimate setting. Because of seeing how special some of these shows are, we decided to bring some of this special brand of live music to the city. Our concerts have an audience of 20-30 people making each show a special evening for audience and artist alike. It is very hard to describe how special these shows are. The only way to know what they are like is for you to come one. Once you have seen the joy in the artists faces you will never want to miss a show. Trina Hamlin has been playing coffeehouses, and clubs around the New York scene for the past four years. She has become a fixture at such New York clubs as CBGB's and The Living Room. Trina just played two amazing sets at the 1998 Newport Folk Festival. She opened Sunday with a set on the main stage and was followed by such artists as Ani Difranco, Dar Williams, and The Indigo Girls. Trying to describe what Trina Hamlin is like in concert is like trying to describe Monet to someone who has never been able to see. There are things that Trina does with a harmonica that I have never heard since. She is a ball of firey energy from the get go, that picks you up and takes you on a musical journey through blues, folk, rock, and roots music. There is an energy watching Trina like few other artists I have ever seen. She is a performer that needs to be seen live to truly be appreciated. Mica Richards is one of the few piano playing folk singers on the Boston folk scene. She mixes the best of folk, blues, and jazz. She has been playing in and around Boston for the past few yesr at such clubs as Passim, The Kendall Cafe, and many others. She has an amazing ability of making someone feel that each time they listen to a song it is the first time they've heard it. Mica is an amazing performer drawing comparisons to Jerry Lee Lewis and Billy Holiday. Her first cd titled "Properties Of Motion" is a wonderful sampling of ballads, jazz vocals, and driving piano rhythms. Some of the songs on Properties can be heard at http://www.folkweb.com/micarichards/ This past June she recorded 3 shows to be released on her next cd. She is a one of a kind artist that is soon to be a major star. "Wonderful...Go, go, go!" -- Dar Williams "When I heard her I thought Oh *@!"...She's really great." -- Carol Noonan "She's the one with that voice" -- Club Passim, Cambridge, MA Jess Klein is one of the rising stars on the Boston music scene. Her style could be described as words in the style of Joni Mitchell, a singing style that can mirror Patty Griffin, a voice that matches Rosalie Sorrels, and a personality reminiscent of Tracy Chapman. Jess just released her first CD titled "Wishes Well Disguised." Portions of the cd can be heard at http://www.folkweb.com/jessklein/ Jess has been nominated for numerous Boston area awards and is on the brink of a career that is about to take off. She has opened for the likes of Dar Williams, Carol Noonan Band, Martin Sexton, Disappear Fear, Diane Ziegler, Jabbering Trout, Cosy Sheridan, The Nields, Jim's Big Ego, Kevin So, and Moxy Fruvous. So If these artists, and the uopcoming concerts sound of intrest here are the details once again. Start Time: August 22nd 7pm, August 23rd 3pm. Location: 39 Longfellow St. Boston, MA Performers: Trina Hamlin, and Mica Richards on the 22nd Trina Hamlin, and Jess Klein on the 23rd. Admission: 10 dollars To make reservations, and for directions: e-mail gegertha@tiac.net or call 617-288-4381 If you have any other questions about the show please feel free to e-mail me. I will be out of town visiting relatives for the next couple days but will be checking e-mail and voice mail. I hope all is well with everyone reading this.
