Fez Silk
7:30 PM
Fez Silk is a solo singer-songwriter, visual artist, poet, and farmer. Her folk-style music deals with a range of themes, from the emotional to the historical, with an incisive and vulnerable voice. A colleague once called her "a genderfluid Bob Dylan," which was very flattering. Originally from California, Fez has lived in six states and a few countries, but likes the Northeast enough that she has not yet made plans to leave. Her music can be found on Youtube, Bandcamp and Spotify.
Ben Clark
8:00 PM
Ben Clark has been writing and performing music over half his life. A southern Indiana native, he has lived in NYC for over a decade, performing at iconic venues such as The Cutting Room, Sony Hall, Granmercy Theatre, High Line Ballroom, and Radio City Music Hall. He has composed two musicals, and won the Kennedy Center National Musical Theatre Award for The Circus in Winter. His songs “Red” and “Hallucinate” were featured in the 2019 film A Score to Settle starring Nicolas Cage. His most recent release, Music has been a long time coming, and sees Benhoning his storytelling skills. The new EP focuses on the passage of time, the weight of age, the pursuit of passion, and the depths of desire. He is happiest on stage, playing new songs and old, for people looking to live in the moment, not knowing what story might come next.
Cosy Sheridan
8:30 PM
Cosy Sheridan has been called one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful songwriters, and also ‘a buddhist monk trapped in the body of a singer-songwriter’. Her music regularly tops the folk radio charts. Her CD, Pretty Bird, was listed among Sing Out Magazine’s Great CDs of 2014. Her concerts are wide-ranging explorations: ragtime guitar and social satire, modern renditions of mythology ( meet Hades the Biker ) and tales of modern adulthood. Her alter ego, Chlamydia, sometimes appears with songs such as “Botox Tango” or “Multiply Pierced.” The Cornell Folksong Society wrote: “Sheridan is frank, feisty, sublimely and devilishly funny. She fuses myth with modern culture; Persephone with Botox.”
