FREE - OPEN MILK NIGHT w/HOST SCOT SAX (7:00pm)
Say goodbye to Open Mic night and hello to Open MILK with host Scot Sax, songwriter of the GRAMMY-winning hit "Like We Never Loved At All" by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Scot debuted his Open MILK Night at our Bryn Mawr location...and it got so popular that we needed a bigger room for the full impact that is Open MILK! This is a whole new shindig and we are making a few changes from our traditional Open Mic format to make for the best possible experience for all.

HOW IT WORKS:
Sign-ups begin at 6 PM and we will be capping the number of performers to the FIRST 10 PEOPLE, NO EXCEPTIONS. Why so few? So that each performer has the chance to do 2 songs, then we go down the list again at the end for each performer to do one more. This format allows for seasoned performers to stretch out and try some new material, and emerging artists can do just that, emerge! Scot doesn't just host, but sometimes sheds a word or two about songwriting and his journey thus far (RCA record deals, songs in Blockbuster movies like American Pie etc. etc.!)

And for our loyal spectators, we have some changes taking place for you as well. Open MILK Night is about music; we are trying to provide the most supportive atmosphere possible for every performer. Please show your support and respect for the people on stage by refraining from talking during performances and giving the artists your undivided attention. After all, wouldn’t you want the same from a crowd if you were performing on stage?

Solo performers and acoustic duos or trios of any style are welcome, as well as poets and a cappella acts but please keep in mind elaborate stage setups take more time away from your performance so please keep it simple and everyone will be happy.

$5 - SHAKEWELLFLY w/THE NAME AND DYLAN DEVLIEGER (8:00pm)
ShakeWellFly consists of four handsome young men, and they go by the names of Andrew S., Britt M., Jack "Volcano" S., and Ryan "Kerminator" K.. The Band started off as a trio a few years back, with Andrew Shreading on guitar, Jack Beating the bass and Britt laying down some hott beats for them. Then Two quick years later, Ryan was a member of SWF, who started to add unbelivable licks and riffs to their sound. ShakeWellFly is now working harder than ever, and making some adjustments to their work.


The Name began in 2004 when Seth Engel began recording music on his computer. This went on until December of 2006. After a few lineup changes, The Name recorded a 7 song EP, and in 2008, a five song demo. However, due to intense personal conflict with the other members, Seth had to find new people to play with. After about a week of searching, Brian King and Jeff Berman joined the band and they are now on their way to bigger and better things!

$15 - SCOT SAX w/LAUREN HART AND UP THE CHAIN (NEW ALBUM PARTY) *BYOB SHOW* (8:00pm)
Scot Sax unveils his brand new album "While She Was Working" at none other than MilkBoy Coffee Ardmore. Currently gearing up for gangbusters tour of the US with Sharon Little opening for the legendary Robert Plant & Allison Krauss, Scot will be making his triumphant return to Ardmore for this very special engagement. Click the picture to the right if you would like to pre-order or download Scot's new Album.


“This music feels like the truest for me,” says Lauren of her fourth CD “Good Things.” The addictive blend of classic songwriting and edgy swagger is a soulful tip of the hat to the music Lauren listened to growing up in New Jersey: the sounds of Motown – Aretha Franklin, the Jackson 5, and Gladys Knight; and the grooves of Philly Soul – Gamble and Huff, Hall & Oates, and the Hooters. Lauren’s return to her roots was sparked by performances with the legendary Funk Brothers of Motown fame, and the Philadelphia-based hip-hop/steel guitar band Slo-Mo, which she joined two years ago.

Pete Harper and Jason Blynn, known to themselves, and in turn by others, affectionately but usually appropriately, as "Pete and J" are a songwriting duo based in New York City. The two met and began playing together in college, just over four years ago, and are now playing regularly in New York City and touring in Philadelphia, D.C., Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, down South, across the U.S., up North in ohhhhhh Canada, and in the UK. Pete and J have just finished an album titled, "Dressed for Conversation". Some of these tracks are posted here, and the album is available on iTunes, at amazon.com, through an online distributor, and quite possibly at a store near you. The album won Pete and J a Finalist position in the 2006 IMA's for the tune "Pennsylvania Sun", and has been called many good things by many good people.

Kirsten Price is extending the British tradition of re-interpreting American soul music in a fresh and innovative way. Raised in London, and now based in Brooklyn, Kirsten has been busy spreading her unique oddball brand of alternative soul. Having shared the stage with Wycleff Jean of the Fugees, the Grammy award nominated Groove Collective and the recently re-unified Sly & The Family Stone, Kirsten has been headlining sold out shows on the East Coast and will continue touring North America and Europe throughout 2008 promoting her debut release.

$10 - FALCON RIDGE PREVIEW TOUR w/ERICH MACE TRIO *BYOB SHOW* (8:00pm)

MilkBoy Coffee and The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival present their "Spring Preview Tour" featuring the four "Most Wanted" Emerging Artist Showcase performers from the 2007 festival: Lindsay Mac, Joe Crookston, and Randall Williams. Special guests The Eric Mace Trio will open the show. Info on each performer can be found below.

Classically trained cellist and singer-songwriter Lindsay Mac offers a fresh look at acoustic music by combining folk/pop structure with plucked and bowed cello. Wonderfully diverse and memorable, her music has roots in jazz, folk, Americana, funk and rock while not tasting like any specific genre.


Joe Crookston….Born and raised in rural Ohio, with Hungarian musical roots, Polkas Polkas...and eastern European food..A little bit of Gypsy soul in this guy...Whether it’s his hypnotic guitar sound, bubbling banjo, or short story lyrics, his music draws from his rural Ohio roots, and his urban adventures, exuding a remarkable universal, and timeless quality.


Randall is as much at home in a Bangkok slum or a Senegalese village, at the Kennedy Center in D.C. or the Fine Arts Palace in Brussels sandwiched between a twitchy orchestra and a full house, or shoeless on the floor of your living room. Randall has sung in a dozen languages in over 35 countries.


Erich’s music can be described as acoustic/folk with melodic vocal layers and finger style guitar having an earthy, raw feel flavored with positive and empowering lyrics. He has been compared to Leo Kottke, Jack Johnson, Guster and Keller Williams.

$8 - LAURA CHEADLE w/DOWNTOWN HARVEST AND LUCAS CARPENTER (8:00pm)
Don't be fooled by her popstar looks. At a time when the music industry seems to churn out one identical female artist after the other, this young singer-songwriter breaks the mold. Laura Cheadle has got the funk. This 22-year-old artist writes about love, lust, and everything in-between. From beneath her graceful lyrics and sensual sound emerges Laura's soul, which enraptures her listeners as she effortlessly commands their attention. She calls herself a "funky white girl who's got soul." However, Laura sells her self short with this description, as she blends many genres both within and among her songs. Laura creates her own unique style of song-writing by giving rock/pop a soulful twist with a splash of blues.

Drawing inspiration from a wide variety of musical styles, the harvest boys blend neo pop songs with big beat aggressive slam rock; tornado alley hiphop with new wave grunge. They owe as much to joe cocker and nirvana as they do to beck and the b52's. The band performs with an unparallel through the roof raw energy, wowing crowds time and time again.



Amidst cookie cutter singer/songwriters, Lucas Carpenter brings a renewed sense of fun, honesty, and intelligence to today’s popular music. He also likes the smell of skunk...seriously. Blending rock, r&b, folk, and musical theater, Lucas Carpenter creates a danceable cocktail of deliciousness you will be humming in the shower Monday morning. Though groovy, within his hooks and hippy-chic styling lie poetry for the masses: sometimes serious, sometimes comedic, but always honest.

$5 - NATE GRAHAM TRIO w/DARCIE MINER AND RACHEL ECK (8:00pm)
Nate Graham is a talented musician with years of experience performing and writing. Since his graduation from music school in May 2006, he has been actively pursuing a career as a singer-songwriter. He performs his own music in the context of a solo show that includes songs performed on piano, guitar, and dulcimer. His songs have been described by fans as possessing the “raw perspective of Ben Folds Five”, while his performance has been noted as commanding “Elton John’s ease on the piano”.

At the age of 22, Hershey-based singer, songwriter and guitarist Darcie Miner has already experienced a rollercoaster ride in the music business. She was signed to a major record label, Beyond/Universal, which folded before she ever completed her first full album. She has toured with Edwin McCain and has opened for names such as Patty Griffin, Richard Thompson, Jeffrey Gaines, Heart, Darius Rucker and more. Darcie is still making music; and based on the four studio and three live tracks of her latest recording, The Fragile E.P., she is still exploring, both musically and lyrically.

FIRST FRIDAY: THE CABIN DOGS w/ANGE & RIS (6:00pm)
6 PM - 8 PM - With two dogs, an eight track recorder and a book of old murder ballads, Rich and Rob Kwait would start their musical journey. Visiting mountain cabins from Vermont to Tennessee and listening to the country blues, the Philadelphia-based twin brothers would soon begin crafting songs of their own and bring them back to Philadelphia to play for friends on the stoop. What started as cosmic country and bluegrass would soon become something more rich and textured and groovy.... The band (including Ira Race on guitar, Stephan DiVincenzo on drums and Jeanine Reed on vocals/percussion) would begin to find their sound ... described by some as Cosmic American Blues.

8:30 PM - 9:30 PM - Ange&Ris are a 2-girl team. Influenced by the keys of Tori Amos, haunting melodies of Sarah McLachlan and fresh grooves of Dido, they produce a melded, feminine, captivating sound. Poetic lyrics pour from their facination with Jesus, Tozer, C.S. Lewis, and T.S. Elliot, as well as the faces of people in their daily lives. Imagine intense keyboarding and vocal harmonies coming together with creative beats and aesthetic, subtle electronica.
