July 7th, 2020 with singer/songwriter Jen Cork.
“Ithaca, NY based singer-songwriter, Jen Cork has a passion for dirt, baritone ukes, 1904 uprights, vocal layering, and found sounds. She has been performing her original indie-folk, folk-jazz, and choice traditional folk, jazz, and blues covers around the Finger Lakes region and beyond for more than a decade.
Jen’s music, layered with powdered gravel harmonies and a meditative, introspective quality, moves audiences with its pure emotiveness. Pendulizing between self-soothing swing and deep grey, almost tangible sadness, the comforting space between—and the person, herself—are what is offered. She has been compared to k.d.Lang, Rhiannon Giddens, Dayna Kurtz, Melissa Etheridge, and Jeff Buckley, and her voice is just the beginning. From packed art galleries to camp fire circles in Michigan, from studio session work to deep listening rooms, Jen is at home.
A skilled singer, songwriter, producer, instrumentalist, collaborator, and bandleader, she is a well-known part of the music scene in Ithaca, NY. She ruminates on rusty turnbuckles. She loves the history, grit and intersection of nature and mechanical objects, and her emotional songwriting grows out of these timeworn landscapes. There is history in her voice and legacy in her songs.
Cork was named “Best Female Singer” by the Ithaca Journal.
Finger Lakes Music Press called her a “Superb Vocal Stylist,” and her band was selected to perform at the Confluence Benefit for the National Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY.
Jen is currently touring to New Orleans for Folk Alliance International and will soon release her new single “Maybe Someday.””

July 14th, 2020 with singer/songwriter Louiston
“I’m Lou DiPietro, and I play out and make records as Louiston, a mostly solo-acoustic singer-songwriter with influences that span genres and eras, from punk and indie to americana and classic country. A writer, performer and producer, I draw from and celebrate the DIY ethos and blue-collar scrappiness rooted in my WNY upbringing. Today, I live in Trumansburg, NY, just outside of Ithaca.
No gimmicks, no hype – just good guitar-playing, solid songs, lyrics that actually mean something, and a profound respect for the songwriting craft.”

Summer Music Series: Erich with an H at Barnstormer Winery
2020-07-21 18:00 - 20:00 | NY
Join us at Barnstormer Winery for an all original and local Summer music series on Tuesdays in July & August 2020 from 6pm-8pm. Weather dependent, we will cancel if there is rain on the forecast.
Barnstormer wine available by the glass or bottle, and Lucky Hare beer by the pint. Taco Bar for Taco Tuesday! No cover, and family friendly. Please call the winery at 607-243-4008 for more information.
July 21st, 2020 features singer/songwriter Erich with an H.
“Erich Asperschlager is a good name but a bit long for a marquee, which is why he goes by the shorter and more instructive, Erich with an H. It’s a name that speaks not only to his parents’ inexperience in naming a first born son, but also the sense of humor and playfulness that Erich brings to his music. Drawing from an eclectic array of influences, Erich’s original material is a mix of folk, alternative, British Invasion, power pop, and novelty tunes. His songs cover the range of human experience, from heartbreak to political protest to werewolf attack. He also wrote this bio and is wondering if maybe he laid it on a little too thick. I suppose you’ll have to listen and decide for yourself.”

Summer Music Series: Janet Batch at Barnstormer Winery
2020-08-11 18:00 - 20:00 | NY

August 11th, 2020 with singer/songwriter Janet Batch.
“Janet Batch is a singer songwriter based in the Finger Lakes region of central New York State. With a style referred to as “country with an art degree” and she has been endeared as “the voice of the hills”. One-part Stevie Nicks, two parts Johnny Cash, she sings, unabashed, of death, romance, and the wondering of what went wrong.
Janet’s first album, “A Good Woman is Hard to Find” was an instant regional favorite. Backed by a full band and featuring three-part harmonies, the 2017 release is a record of story songs and train beats.
Drawing from an early life in rural upstate, Janet tells tales of a time and place invisible to most people. Influenced by seventies and eighties country radio, her songs range from poignant ballads to boot stomping two-steps to classic country waltzes.
Janet has performed on Bound for Glory, at The Great Blue Heron Music Festival, Downtown Ithaca’s Summer Concert Series, Ithaca Festival and many more. She has also had the pleasure of opening for Marty Stuart and Sean Rowe.”
