Headlining: Megan Callahan & The Haymarket Orphans
Genre: Folk Rock/Indie/Acoustic
THIS JUST IN....Indie Folk duo The Haymarket Orphans www.myspace.com/thehaymarketorphans join Megan Callahan this Saturday night!
The Haymarket Orphans are simply a guitar and percussion played with a lot of energy. In a CD review, Antimusic.com writer Gary Schwind comments, "reminds me of Ani DiFranco. It may be simple, but it's also frenetic and powerful".
Saturday they open for Megan Callahan www.megancallahan.com then accompany her set.
Megan is no new comer to music or the Skinny stage. Combining folk, rock and soul, Megan's songs are stories of loss, triumph, and wandering. She plays with dynamic nuance and with a deep reverence and understanding of music's transcendent power. Based out of Buffalo NY, Megan has just completed her tour abroad, where she debuted her independent release "Since the Fire.”
A self-proclaimed gypsy, Megan Callahan has played with Mary Ramsey of "John and Mary" and "10,000 Maniacs," Jeremy Wall of "Spyro Gyra," and many others. Come listen to original music as well as beautifully interpreted and powerful covers.
"Sweet and uplifting," "Profound Voice," "Compelling," "Fresh and original,” Poignant lyrics," – Lindsay Berman, Artvoice Buffalo.
