Saturday March 13th, 8 p.m.
Two dynamic duos will grace the stage of the Second Saturday Coffeehouse on Saturday, March 13. First, we welcome back to our stage Folk/pop/singer/songwriter/satirist Sandy Andina and Madison WI's friendly neighbhorhood yodeling cowboy Stephen Lee Rich presenting Americana and comedy. Appearing for us for the first time are Natural Bob and Micky Holdsworth.
In addition to her musical skills in folk, rock, Broadway, jazz and klezmer, the multi talented Sandy Andina is also a "recovering lawyer" and comedienne. Her song writing netted her a hit, "Because We Can," on Dr. Demento and her songs have been played worldwide on terrestrial, satellite and Internet radio. She has opened in Chicago's comedy clubs and performed for the past eight years in the Chicago Bar Association's "Christmas Spirits" revue. Her CD, "Ghosts and Angels" is a personal favorite, and "Because We Can" (with a duet version of the title tune) is the debut CD of Andina and Rich and their next CD, "Two Guitars, a Dulcimer, and an Attitude" is recently completed.
Bob and Micky are performing songwriters who get their inspiration from the hard-won triumphs and all too easy slip-ups of our everyday lives. But the songs aren’t really autobiographical; taking a cue from master storytellers, they don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. While their shows are built on a foundation of original songs written in a tie-dyed–in-the-wool style, they often “steal from the best.” You might well hear some old favorites from jazz/pop masters Cab Calloway and Hoagy Carmichael, as well as acoustic classics by Roger McGuinn, Jerry Garcia and Richard Thompson...Bob has been a regular performer and studio musician in the Chicago area for over 30 years playing in new wave bands, an old-time string band, roots/rock duos and on radio commercials produced by local agencies...Micky was trained in classic guitar at the Jack Cecchini studio but found the rhythms and layers of folk/rock to be “way more fun” and took up playing bass and guitar with Bob. She describes herself as an “accidental songwriter” whose first, and often requested, song “Alice” was born during the intermissions of Wagner’s Ring Cycle. “I just wanted to answer back with a story about ordinary love between real people who aren’t exactly soul-mates.”
The program starts at 8:00 p.m. Doors open 7:30.
