=95 8pm - Delta Rae
>From a simple, white house in the woods of North Carolina, Delta Rae
brings together four unique voices to harmonize over songs born out of
the rhythms and scenery of the coasts and country of America. Siblings
Ian, Eric, and Brittany Holljes, along with their long-time friend,
Elizabeth Hopkins, sing with a grit and soul older than their early
twenty years would suggest. Harkening back to bands like Fleetwood
Mac, the Mamas and the Papas, and Peter, Paul, and Mary, Delta Rae
brings its own fresh sound and distinctive songwriting to a genre
pioneered by such legends.

=95 9pm - Vienna Teng and Alex Wong

Vienna Teng shares her name with the Austrian home of Mozart and
Beethoven. And she herself studied classical piano from the age of
five. But there's nothing old-world about the music of Vienna Teng,
whose Zo=EB/Rounder Records debut brings to mind artists as diverse as
Tori Amos, Simon & Garfunkel and Radiohead. "People used to ask what
kind of music I played and I never knew how to answer that," says
Teng. "I work a lot with classically trained musicians, but most of my
influences are from 1970s-era folk music. So now I call it chamber
folk." She adds: "I'm always looking for the perfect pop song combined
with an unexpected amount of depth; that's my idea of great music."

Alex Wong has always relied on the belief that if you listen closely
enough, the music will always tell you where to go. As a Brooklyn-
based performer/songwriter/producer who has made music on 3
continents, he has taken that concept literally. During his far-flung
career, Alex has produced and performed in India, the Far East, Europe
and all over North America.
In 2007 he began collaborating with Rounder recording artist Vienna
Teng, letting his classical training take center stage. While
performing with Teng, Alex lets loose on a multitude of percussion
instruments at once, garnering him the nickname of =93Douzenpoot=94 in the
Dutch press, meaning "centipede." in 2008, Alex co-produced and
arranged Vienna's latest album, Inland Territory, which stretched the
boundaries of his orchestral arranging abilities with technically
ambitious songs that made generous use of strings and winds. Audiences
approved of the alliance, as Inland Territory landed on 3 Billboard
charts the first week it was released.

This will very likely be a standing room only show that sells out.
