Folk, Americana, outstanding songwriting and playing
Friday Aug 9, 7.00pm (doors@6.30pm)$25adv/$28door
Rupert Wates is English but has been called “a prime figure in American music” (acousticmusic.com). A full-time musician since the 90’s, he came to the US in 2006 after a 5-year stint in Paris, including his own jazz group. He now splits his time, when not on the road playing (120 performances a year), between NY City and Colorado
Rupert’s music is folk with jazz and cabaret influences. All of his many CDs have received very positive reviews. The quality of his writing is clearly demonstrated by the fact that many other performers cover his material (20 in 2016 alone), including two tribute CDs devoted entirely to his songs. He has twice been voted “artist of the year” by the International House Concertnetwork (concertsinyourhome.com), and has won over 40 songwriting and performing awards
“Narrative storytelling is superb – even by the highest folk music standards”…..Orlando Sentinel
Santa Cruz “Queen of Steel”, Patti Maxine, won her first steel championship some 60+ years ago! She is a major force in Western Swing, Hawaiian, and Americana music. She is also no slouch on guitar and as a vocalist, and is always in demand to accompany others from the young to “very seasoned”. Patti has played The Ugly Mug more times than anyone else, over a 15-year period. She is currently one third of Jazz The Dog
