  • Festival Emergency! Fall Festival – Friday Through Sunday, October 5 – 7 It’S Not an Emergency for Us
    October 2012 www.folkproject org New Jersey’s Premier Acoustic Music and Dance Organization Festival Emergency! Fall Festival – Friday through Sunday, October 5 – 7 It’s not an emergency for us. It’s an emergency for you, though. You have only a few days left before you miss not only the official make-believe registration deadline, but the actual, real, honest-to-goodness “you can’t come anymore” registration deadline. Day passes are now available, so it’s easy for you first timers to make the leap. It is hard to believe how many of our Folk Project friends regret delaying their first festival. Remember, it’s more like a music retreat with only 150 guests, and it’s a special way to experience acoustic music. That’s why we say it’s the best darn three-day music party ever. Check out the lineup, the workshops and the fun at FolkProject.org/Festival. Register on line. Call Mark at (201) 207-8696 if you have any questions. Try it. You’ll love it. October Evening o’ Music Sat., 10/13, 8pm • Lindsey Meyer’s Keep the post-festival spirit jumping at Lindsey’s historic home in Peapack.

  • This Week on the Flying Eye Radio Network's Music Gumbo Host Andy
    For Immediate Release Contact: Andy Goldfinger Grand Poohbah Flying Eye Radio Network ASCAP/BMI (818) 917-5183 This Week On The Flying Eye Radio Network’s Music Gumbo Host Andy Goldfinger Sits Down With Singer-songwriter Jann Klose "If You're Going To Be Crazy, You Have To Get Paid For It Or Else You're Going To Be Locked Up." Hunter S. Thompson, American Philosopher Malibu, California, April 17, 2014 - This week on the Flying Eye Radio Network’s Music Gumbo, host Andy Goldfinger sits down with singer-songwriter Jann Klose. Known as a versatile singer-songwriter, Klose has released four albums and two EPs as a solo artist. His album Reverie released in 2008 followed by his EP, Sacrifice, in 2010, both were indie successes. His most recent album, Mosaic has gained him much critical acclaim, being nominated four times at the Independent Music Awards. Mosaic even entered the Roots Radio charts at #22, above Wilco, Sheryl Crow and Bruce Springsteen, and was on first round ballots for the 2014 GRAMMY Awards in the categories of Album of the Year and Pop Vocal Album. His music can also be heard in the GRAMMY-nominated Healthy Food For Thought, on MTV Cribs, and in the movie Dead Broke. Born and raised in Kenya and Hamburg, Klose's multi-cultural roots lend a unique sound and style to his music that the Washington post describes as a “soaring voice” that “wins over the listener.” It has even been said by the LA-ist that Jann “can be accurately described as the man chosen to carry on the legacy of great musicians like Tim Buckley and Paul McCartney.” Since coming to America as an exchange student in Cleveland, Jann has had much success, having shared the stage with such artists as Brett Dennen, Pete Seeger, and Les Paul.
