9:00 - Chuck Capone
Chuck Capone has an artful way of writing songs, each word and strum of the guitar filled with meaning. Think Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison, Declan O’Rourke. He is currently in the recording studio and we are looking forward to having our own copies of his songs!
10:00 - Terry Klein
Terry is making his way to Austin, TX. His songwriting sounds more like he’s from there! Reminiscent of Guy Clark, Jimmy Buffet and John Prine, his well-penned songs are tasteful and personable.
