Amy Kucharik and Tiger Moan invite special guests each month and push the tables aside to make room for dancing. This month, we’re celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the release of Amy’s CD, Cunning Folk, so we’ll play a double-header as Tiger Moan and Amy’s other band, Friends With Benefits. We’ll feature special guest Ansel Barnum and more surprise guests!Amy Kucharik & Friends With Benefits: The versatile Friends With Benefits play early blues and jazz-infused Americana with a funky edge and an upbeat female-powered message, strongly drawing from Amy's original music. With a varied jug band instrumentation and ragtime-influenced style that has been evolving since its inception in 2012, FWB has played for swing and blues dances across the northeast and midwest, in Canada and in Ireland, locally on the Steve Katsos Show, and at various local festivals including most recently The Great Northeast Jug Band Festival.
Ansel Barnum: From Brazilian choro to classical baroque to traditions in between, Ansel Barnum’s innovative playing reveals the unexpected capabilities of the underestimated harmonica. Ansel has performed and taught workshops at the Philly Folk Fest and was a 2013 emerging artist at the Spring Gulch Folk Fest. He placed 2nd in the U.K.'s National Harmonica League Festival and 4th in Germany's Hohner World Harmonica Competition.
Tiger Moan: Specializing in vintage blues with sass and class, Tiger Moan is in the third year of their residency playing first Sundays every month at the Burren Backroom. Tiger Moan has entertained blues and swing dancers at events such as Sweet Molasses Blues, Blues Union, Yale Swing & Blues and MIT's Bread & Bones fusion dance. The band is known for covering the best blues standards and for funky originals with innovative lyrics. With Amy Kucharik on vocals, ukulele, tenor guitar and harmonica and a rotating cast of top-notch musicians on keys, upright bass, horns, washboard and kit percussion, and more.
