Click to listen to Icons of Faith

Tom & Emily Pancake Mamma 2007
Tom and Emily are a beauty and beast duo that makes delightful music. Tom Proutt -- principle songwriter, guitarist, and rough voiced harmony singer-brings to the table a great sense of melody manifested in unusual harmonies and solid playing on a dizzying variety of six strings. Tom also brings his twisted vision: defending white bread against the accusation that anything could be better, offering a whole new meaning for the term "trophy wife."

Emily plays bass and sings in pure tones that make Tom's perfect complement. The highlight is "Icons of Faith," the most serious tune on a record brimming with humor. Starting from one of those impromptu highway shrines to an accident victim, Proutt makes a spiritual quest to religious shrines all over the world, then returns to the personal loss the speaker has suffered. It's a song as moving as it is beautiful. I've never heard anything else like it. (David Kleiner)

Onstage Friday, October 24 & Saturday, October 25

Written and performed by Karen Gray
an unruly but tender look at growing up, growing old...

In Oh Crap I Forgot To Have Kids, Gray and some off-the-wall characters from childhood and adulthood, from reality and fantasy, pose questions and poke at assumptions about how motherhood figures into what it means to be a woman, and an adult. It is an unruly but tender look at this most personal topic as it relates to growing up, growing old, and the connections that define us.

The show contains adult themes, some brief language and is intended for an adult audience.

Jan Smith
folk and bluegrass-flavored acoustic tunes

“Jan Smith’s deceptively simple tunes sparkle with freshness and originality,” said Performing Songwriter magazine. The Louisville native writes roots music inspired by the classic country of her childhood, the singer/songwriter genre of her youth, and the bluegrass traditions of her current home in rural Virginia. Smith performs most often with husband Jeff Vogelgesang, a veteran mandolin and guitar player. Their duo performances are founded on Smith's songwriting, Vogelgesang's musicianship, and the couple's intimate harmony singing.
