PETER MULVEY's Lamplighter Sessions are here from December 7th the 15th, minus Monday and Tuesday. Mulvey has been transported by music suspiciously (should we suspect foul play?) often in his life, and from the beginning, he sensed a pattern: most of these moments were impromptu, they happened offstage, and they involved people communicating something sublime in this elusive yet utterly reliable language we all share. The music-ness of moments is at its best when two or more players dont quite know where its all going, and yet have enough of a common idea of the map at hand that theyre all going together. The Lamplighter Sessions is Mulveys dogged attempt to set up, year after year, lightning rods in a field, to coax these offstage moments into being onstage.
Who is this doggedy dog in this dog-eat-dog world?
To PETER MULVEY, there is no such thing as a straight and narrow path. At least, not one that he has any interest in taking.
A live-wire on any stage, Peter is an acoustic singer/songwriter/guitarist who, in fact, defies this categorization. His ferocious guitar playing whisks him through more tunings than he has fingers in the course of an evening, as he winds his way from full-throated rockers to deceptively plain-spoken musings. Whether solo or accompanied, Mulvey is someone who just naturally commands a stage:
"Peter Mulvey is one of the most accomplished guitarists you're ever likely to hear utterly original it is nigh on impossible to explain him to the uninitiated his intelligent and sometimes complex songs engage both hemispheres of the listener's brain one of the finest, most complete entertainers stunning." - The Irish Examiner

With soaring vocals and accomplished guitar playing, KAIA FOWLER shares songs that explore lifes struggles and joys, drawing on folk, blues, and roots rock traditions. Inspired by nature and the human experience, Kaias songs resonate with strength and vulnerability as she explores a vast emotional landscape. In concert, Kaia draws from an extensive repertoire of originals and select cover songs by artists such as John Prine and Carole King. Her songwriting has been compared to Joni Mitchells for its lyrical poetry and rich melodies. The Americana Gazette had this to say about her 2010 album Seams of My Heart: Fowler is a tremendous lyricist. Her lyrics paint pictures and her musical notes add the color Kaias latest album is an EP titled All The Way, dedicated to her late husband and benefiting the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
BILL CAMPLIN will also be in the ring throwing his considerable tenor around while plucking.
