  Three singer-songwriters extraordinaire: Lucy Kaplansky, whose dynamic vocals and great songs have earned her the title “troubador laureate of modern city folk;” folk legend and topical songwriter Tom Paxton; and Cheryl Wheeler, who mixes brilliant, hysterical live performance with beautifully crafted songs.
Background:
Lucy Kaplansky: She started out singing in Chicago bars. Then, barely out of high school, Lucy Kaplansky took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey, Cliff Eberhardt, and others—where she fit right in. "New York songwriter Lucy Kaplansky is becoming the troubador laureate of modern city folk."
Tom Paxton: Has become a voice of his generation, addressing issues of injustice and inhumanity, laying bare the absurdities of modern culture and celebrating the tenderest bonds of family, friends, and community.
Cheryl Wheeler: It has always seemed as if there were two Cheryl Wheelers, and fans of the New England songwriter relish watching the two tussle for control of the mike. Brilliant, hysterical perfomance and beautifully crafted songs. "Rare artist...strong poetry, complex melodies, clever wit."- SingOut!
