FP OpenStage at Falcon RidgeCalling all campers! If you are planning to attend the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Aug. 3–5, I am look-ing for fellow FPers who would like to circle the wagons with us and/or help run an FP campsite with a song circle/jam under the FP’s Minstrel OpenStage banner. Thanks to the efforts of Mitch Radler, our Open Stage is going strong and attracting new talent all the time, so we want to build on that success by inviting the Falcon Ridge to get a sample of the FP’s special brand of providing an open, supportive environment for performers, players, and other paisanos.

Please let me know if you would be interested in setting up your camp with us and possibly helping to staff the circle/jam at various times. I could also use the help of a couple of volunteers, consist-ing of early arrivers who can stake out a space for us and people who can help me set up the camp.

The three-pronged goal is to 1) have fun, 2) have more fun, and 3) have even more fun!

—Steve Humphreys, FP President

Next Getaway To Be Best Ever!Each Getaway is a memory factory, producing a scrapbook-ful of unforgettable songs, concerts, workshops, conversations, and magical musical moments of immeasurable joy and import. The main ingredient of the weekend is the love of music and community that 150 Projectiles bring to this astonishing happening. But the secret ingredient—the one that makes every Getaway uniquely wonderful—is the fantastic array of performing artists we bring into the mix. This Fall’s lineup is beyond special. It’s the Lineup of a Lifetime.

Jackie Bristow is an internationally renowned headliner with an exquisite voice and moving lyrics. Her backup guitarist, Mark Punch, is a Country Music Award winner of Australia’s Musician of the Year. The Murphy Beds are Irish balladeers of the first order whose moving harmonies bring a tra-ditional touch to modern and ancient songs. Joshua Davis, a finalist on The Voice and renowned for his duet with Sheryl Crow, is a writer with a message and a singer with passion. Nikkie Talley’s Southern and Mountain roots bring profound and inspiring meaning to her gorgeous songs, as does her beautiful voice, her push-forward banjo frailing, and her accompanist, the amazing Jason Sharp. Old Man Luedecke writes heartfelt songs from the heartland—where the foundations of love, work, and family bring meaning to his music. Diane Perry’s Duo features the nuanced voice, gorgeous writing and stellar violin playing of New Jersey’s and the Folk Project’s ultimate and

Cliff Eberhardt is a powerhouse of a singer-songwriter in all aspects of his craft. His voice is a high-liner freight train demanding and deserving your undivided attention. The songs that train carries are fraught with emotion and brilliant in their poetry. And his guitar work complements the package perfectly.It’s no surprise that Louise Mosrie was voted “Most Wanted” at the 2011 Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist showcase. This Nashville singer-songwriter backs up some prodigious writing skills with a great voice, emotional delivery, and an engaging stage presence.

Fri., Aug. 10: OpenStage ($5 admission OpenStage only)The Minstrel OpenStage is the place where a diverse collection of acoustic musicians performs for a welcoming, supportive, and attentive audience. We’re a listening room, not a noisy bar. We’ve often seen previews of our regularly scheduled opening acts for the first time at our OpenStage. Admission is $5 at the door but is free for anyone under the age of twenty-five. (Free-will dona-tions are encouraged.) For information on how to sign up to perform at our next OpenStage, visit www.OpenStage.FolkProject.org.

Fri., Aug. 17: George Wurzbach with Circle Round the SunGeorge Wurzbach was an “Audience Choice” for a headline act, based upon his bravura perfor-mance opening for Bob Malone in December. After his selection as a Kerrville New Folk Award winner in 1995, he started the much-beloved folk ‘comedy’ trio Modern Man with David Buskin and Rob Carlson, earning several music industry awards. Performing Songwriter Magazine has described George as “a welcome mix of wit, wisdom, and wonder.” The unique appeal of his songs is reflected in the number of artist songwriters who have recorded them, including Tom Paxton, The Kingston Trio, David Wilcox, and many others. His recent work with Paxton was featured on the Grammy Nominated Album Comedians and Angels.Circle Round the Sun is an acoustic/Americana band comprised of vocalists Marie Trontell* and Jay Wilensky*, Chris Bukata* and Joe Brice on guitars, and George LaVecchia on bass. CRS will bring its rich vocal harmonies to a mix of original songs and the best work from today’s crop of acoustic singer-songwriters. * Folk Project members

Fri., Aug. 24: CLOSED for the New Jersey Uke Fest (see page 6)

Fri., Aug. 31: No Fuss and Feathers Roadshow with Michael ArthurNo Fuss and Feathers Roadshow is the heck-of-a-good-time collaboration hatched by award-winning songwriters Carolann Solebello, Karyn Oliver, and The YaYas. It’s like getting three bands for the price of one when these friends share the stage: a dynamic, cohesive cocktail of delicious harmonies, infectious rhythm, and spontaneous hilarity. Individually, the four are nationally tour-ing performers who have appeared on stage at some of the most respected festivals and venues. Collectively, they are an incorrigible bunch of musical co-conspirators bent on giving their audi-ence an unforgettable show.Contemporary singer-songwriter Michael Arthur explores the breadth and depth of the human experience in his poignant songs. Noted for his warm emotive vocals and lush acoustic guitar work, his performances have been described as “cathartic, heartwarming, and fun all at the same time.” His songs connect with the listener on a personal level.

Strummin’ with Toby WalkerSun., Sep. 16, 2018, 2pm • $20

Get ready for another great concert-party-jam session with Mr. Joy & Energy himself, the great Toby Walker. If you’ve attended our “Strummin’ with” series, you already know what a unique and great time it is. Toby will put on his always-fantastic, high-quality show, followed by an open stage where audience members perform backed up by the blues master himself. And that’s followed by an awe-

some party, a round-robin sing-along where everyone has a chance to jam and perform with and for everyone, including Toby. These outstanding events are one of a kind and won-derful—for the audience, for musicians, and for anyone who enjoys a great party. It’s a rare chance to hear, hang out and jam with a very special guest.

If you don’t know Toby Walker, you should. He’s an internationally-acclaimed and award-win-ning fingerstyle guitar virtuoso and songwriter whose blend of blues, ragtime, country, blue-

grass, old-time jazz, and rock results in a terrific, high-energy show that always leaves audiences astounded and on their feet with a roar of applause and acclamation. He’s received numerous awards, including being the first place recipient of the International Blues Challenge Award in Memphis and the NY Music Award for best instrumental CD. Walker has also been inducted into the NY Blues Hall of Fame.

“If he doesn’t get them with his phenomenal guitar playing or catchy songs, he gets them with his wonderful stories. True entertainers have an engaging spirit that puts a smile on your face. Arlo Guthrie has it. David Bromberg has it. And so does Toby. ”

—John Platt - WFUV

“Flat out... you have to hear this great musician... I’m blown away.”

—Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna and the Jefferson Airplane

“Strummin’ with Toby Walker” is at 2pm on Sunday, September 16, 2018, at The Schafferosa, home of Getaway Chaircouple Mark & Robin. Admission is $20. Seating is limited, but advance tickets are available at folkproject.org. For detailed information, email getaway@folkproject.org.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark�

New Jersey Uke FestThe New Jersey Uke Fest will be presenting two concerts that are open to the public. Concerts start at 7:30pm and will take place at the Ukrainian American Cultural Center of New Jersey located at 60C North Jefferson Road in Whippany, NJ. Concert tickets are $20 in advance online (until 8/23) at www.FolkProject.org/NjUkeFest or at the door for $25.

On Friday, August 24th Abe Lagrimas, Jr� and Gracie Terzian will present an evening of Jazz styl-ings on the Ukulele, followed by a musical play-along with all instruments welcome. Music charts will be available.

Abe is a musician, composer, educator, and author who plays the drums, vibraphone, and ukulele. As a solo ukulele artist, Abe is a Na Hoku Hanohano Award (Hawaii Music Award) recipient and has released multiple albums. Abe studied at Berklee College of Music. Gracie is a singer, songwriter, ukulelist, and actor on stage and screen whose recently released debut EP, Saints and Poets, reflects a “cool, sophisticated surface” of jazz as “a deep-dyed romantic tells her tales of modern love with quiet delicacy and an inborn musicality.” She is known in ukulele circles for playing unusual instru-ments, including the harp-ukulele and electric ukulele.

On Saturday, August 25th Victoria Vox and The Aloha Boys with Alan Distajo will wow us with both original pop-folk and traditional Hawaiian music. Consider joining the performers for the pre-concert dinner at 6pm for $18pp, advance purchase only (meat or vegan options available).

Victoria is a ukulele-innovating, award-winning songwriter and performer of engaging chansons tinged with jazz, crossed with pop mixed with folk. Victoria’s melodic and cleverly written songs may incorporate a loop pedal and bass effect on her ukulele or improvisational solos on her unique

“mouth-trumpet,” making her a veritable one-woman band. The Aloha Boys, Glen Hirabayashi and Irv Queja, joined by Alan Distajo, play an acoustic down-home, backyard-style Hawai’ian music, a style which includes everything from the very traditional to contemporary songs and styles.

For more info about the concerts, or the New Jersey Uke Fest itself, visit our website at www.FolkProject.org/NjUkeFest, email us at njukefest@folkproject.org or call us at 973/370-4853 (4UKE).

Want to Help Run the Folk Project?Do you have a talent for administrative matters? Then The Folk Project would like to hear from you! We will soon begin the process of nominating people to fill positions on the board that will be vacated by people like myself. We will have up to three Trusteeships and three officer positions

opening on the FP Board of Directors (including President) and it would be great to hear from interested members with good people skills who would

like to help us accomplish our goals for the present and future. If you are inter-ested in being considered for one of these positions, please contact me at president@folkproject.org.

I also want to share with everyone the results of the “How Are We Doing” survey that I sent out last month. As the outgoing president, I wanted to get a read on how our members view what we have been doing over the course of my stint as president. We received 51 responses, so roughly 10 per-cent of individual members. And while this is by no means a scientific survey (there were only four questions), I think we can say that is at least a statistically significant sampling of our membership.

The results were much as you would probably expect: a glimpse of the frequency that our members attend our events (mostly weekly or monthly) and enthusiastic support for music programming and for the work the Board has been doing. We also received many written comments, ranging from suggestions for cross-pollinating across the email lists used by our various venues to support for increased integration with our surrounding community.

The poll results and comments will be very useful to the Board as it begins to deliberate on the findings of the Future Planning Committee, chaired by Bob McNally. Thanks so much to those who participated.

Folk Project Board Meeting • July 3, 2018Board Meeting: The Summary

Good o’ the OrderA place to share news with your Folk Project Community about memorable events and challenges.

Please send items to Joanne Cronin, joannelcronin@optonline.net

10 11

The July 3, 2018 meeting was called to order at 8:07pm in Marie Trontell and Jay Wilensky’s Western Outpost and Saloon.

Present: Steve Humphreys, Jay Wilensky, Dave Heistand, Ken Brody, Elizabeth Lachowicz, Bob McNally, Chris Riemer (officers and trustees); Lois DeRitter, Mark Schaffer, Mike Agranoff, John Mahon, Lindsey Meyer, Joanne Cronin, Paul Fisher (committee chairs). Absent: Allan Kugel, Evelyn McNally, Kathi Caccavale, Sandie Reilly, Jean Scully, George Otto, Pam Robinson, Leigh Walker, Olga Alvarez, Paul Fisher, Pam Robinson. [Low turnout probably due to pre-holiday date of meeting, sec’y].

MOTIONS The Board approved the June, 2018 minutes.

The Board authorized Open Stage chair Mitch Radler to apply for a general (non-matching) grant available from Morris Arts, to be used for OpenStage.

The Board congratulated Project member Katherine Rondeau on her selection to appear in the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artists Showcase.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTSPresident: Steve Humphreys reported on a brief survey, responded to by 51 members. Results [detailed in “Prez Sez”] show that a significant majority attend Project events frequently, and are satisfied with the events and the Board. Steve stressed the importance of everyone on the Board receiving a full, fair and welcoming opportunity to participate in the Board’s brainstorming and decisionmaking functions. Steve suggested that a Board retreat be held to address communica-tions issues, and the idea will be considered at the next meeting.

COMMITTEE REPORTSFuture Planning: Chair Bob McNally reported that the Committee expects to issue its report soon. The Committee has identified approximately 30 separate resources available to the Project—most importantly its volunteers and the individual champions of its activities—and is concentrating on how best to use those resources to ensure the future of the Project. Bob noted that the Project has done well at planning individual events but envisions the Committee’s report as a basis for strate-gic planning by the Project as a whole.

Getaway: Chair Mark Schaffer reported that Getaway is “going great,” and that plans to move to upscale accommodations at Stony Point are steaming ahead. Mark noted with particular plea-sure that Gary Pratt, a member of the Stony Point Board, came to our Summersongs event, “fell in love” with the Project, and is renegotiating our agreement with Stony Point; Mark’s hope is that the Committee will be able to present “the same Getaway” without cutting into the budget for performers.

Minstrel Booking: Chair Mike Agranoff’s report noted a relatively good month at the Minstrel, with the Frank Vignola Trio and Jacob Johnson shows drawing particularly well. Mike was espe-cially pleased with the Jacob Johnson show because J.J. was chosen as a headliner by audience vote after performing as an opening act and because a significant part of the audience came to see the opener, the Project’s own Chris Bukata. Mike reported that Lori Falco had noted to him that Minstrel has presented artists who had recently appeared at other Project venues. Mike observed that the Minstrel schedule is posted well in advance and asked other venue chairs to be conscious of the issue, and to keep him posted as well.

Archives: Chair Lindsey Meyer reported that it is likely that the historical materials to be collected by the Committee will be organized and housed at Rutgers, which already has six boxes of Project materials. Lindsey added that no facility in Morris County has sufficient space for the undertaking, and Bob McNally noted that association with a university would be advantageous.

Jean Scully, via Dave Heistand, reports that Von Scully is back home and just started work with Mindy Schmitt at the Morris County Great Swamp Outdoor Education Center. He’s having a great time with all the little kids.

Steve Humphreys was sorry to learn that a college friend of his was lost in the newspaper shoot-ing in Annapolis, Maryland.

John Mahon is talking his daughter and her kids down to Disneyland next week. Following that, his bluegrass band has a nursing home gig.

Mike Agranoff says that if we’re going to do Good of the Order at the board meeting, we should do it while everyone’s listening, or not do it at all. (Social editor agrees—although said board meeting ran LONG, and people were leaving quickly, there’s a tendency to dash out anyway.)

Mark Schaffer is spending next week in Florida with 30 relatives, playing the part of Chuck Barris in the Gong Show. Robin Schaffer wrote a song for her parents—her second song as an adult. She and Mark have been practicing it for the past five weeks, and Mark is really enjoying making music with his wife.

Paul and Gloria Fisher went to Old Songs for the first time. They had a good time, other than freez-ing and getting eaten by mosquitoes. “Welcome to Old Songs.”

Joanne Cronin had a wonderful trip to Portland, OR, with librarian friends. There was lots of walk-ing and drinking, and everyone had a great time.

Diane Perry made it past the first round in the Mama’s Next Big Act competition in NYC. She also hopes to perform on the Falcon Ridge main stage since she will be performing at the Guthrie Center about 10 miles away during that time.

NEW BUSINESSASCAP/BMI: Mike Agranoff reported that from now on, he will produce ASCAP reports for all events held at MUF, and that BMI will be raising its rates “slightly” as of July. Mike also reported that Folk Alliance International has negotiated an exemption from licensing fees for house concerts, and is also negotiating for a lower rate for membership organizations; Mike has presented data about the Project to FAI, in hope of receiving that discount.

Halloween Show: Elizabeth Lachowicz, to widespread applause, reported that Dara Diamant has agreed to produce this year’s Halloween show. Elizabeth is happy to see [relatively new member, sec’y] Dara step up. Paul Fisher noted that new champions need advice and support.

ONWARD! The meeting was adjourned at 10:29pm. The next meeting will be held on August 7, 2018, at the home of Mark and Robin Schaffer. All members are welcome; e-mail secretary@folkproject.org for directions and details.

treasured talent. Once again, jazz and folk guitarist Ilusha Tsinadze provides the musical instruc-tion, dance band leadership, and performance skills that have made him a treasured instructor at New York’s Carnegie Hall.

28th Annual Pittsburgh Irish FestivalFri.–Sun., Sep. 7–9, 2018

Riverplex, Pittsburgh, PA

The Pittsburgh Irish Festival, Inc. celebrates the Irish experience in America. Our “Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day Festival” has become a springboard for a new cultural awakening of all things Celtic in Western Pennsylvania. The beauty of Irish dance, music, and literature bridges many borders. Our desire is to build upon a strong cultural foundation and expand the wealth of talented artisans, both domestic and foreign, available to our audience. Currently, our Cultural Area presents weavers, Irish historians, lace makers, storytellers, Gaelic symbol drawing, and harp and whistle demonstrations, and alongside our Children’s Area, represents our commitment to providing entertaining and educational interaction for families.

The band is Unbowed in its determination to take a shot across the bow of boring tunes. As the band and caller take a bow you’ll be bowlegged after your wild ride. You’ll be sorry if you bow out so grab your bow tie and make your bow. There will be a birthday bow in Debbie’s hair to match the bow on Henry’s present of a free dance to us all.
