Prospect Street and Rough Folk at Last Licks Cafe
Join us for a double bill of fine American music with Rough Folk and Prospect Street at Last Licks.
With interests and backgrounds in rock, folk, gospel, jazz, bluegrass and the blues, the nine members of Prospect Street are on their way to becoming Long Island's folk-rock "big" band. They put their own spin on songs by Johnny Cash, The Jayhawks, Patsy Cline, Nick Lowe, Leadbelly, Fistful of Mercy, and many others. The Prospect Street sound is rich with vocal harmony, the rhythm of the hand drum, the lonesome call of the harmonica and mandolin, and .... a little electricity!
If there was a "power" category for folk music, maybe they would be in it.
Prospect Street is: Alice Weiser, Rob Wheeler and Eileen Boyd on vocals, Dave Hubelbank and Phill LoFaso on guitar and vocals, Tim Sullivan on mandolin, harmonica, dobro and guitar, Gary Nielsen on lead guitar and vocals, Joel Snodgrass on percussion, and Leer Leary on bass.
It's no surprise that HANK STONE has been hailed as one of Long Island's best songwriters. His memorable hooks and melodies, "two notes and you know it's Hank" guitar style and uncanny ability to tell a story with a song make the emotional impact of his music both immediate and compelling. Known primarily as a solo artist, Hank recently joined forces with long-time friends TODD EVANS and MIKE CHRISTIAN to create the band Rough Folk.
Genre-hopping guitarist/vocalist TODD EVANS brings on the spice and hot sauce with a style that combines jazz, swing and world music textures. His eclectic song choices and rich baritone voice provide the perfect "ying" to Hank's self-penned "yang."
Multi talented multi-instrumentalist MIKE CHRISTIAN is the groups' wild card. Switching seamlessly between electric bass, Ashbory (rubber string) bass and a one-of-a-kind suitcase drum kit, Mike gives the group its drive and energy along with a healthy dose of folk flavored funk.
Together, Hank, Todd and Mike have found synergy - the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts. So come out to hear them sing songs of love and loss... of despair and hope... of railroads and sailing ships..
