Melanie
The Melanie concert originally scheduled for this Saturday, September 9, 2006, has been rescheduled on Saturday November 25, 2006 at 8PM. The postponement of the concert is a result travel difficulties resulting of a stress fracture of her foot. Tickets for the original concert will be honored. For further information please contact 330-677-5005, wrfaa at yahoo, or www.kentstage.org.
Melanie is one of the original Woodstock performers and is best known for her hits "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain"), "Brand New Key," "Look What They've Done To My Song Ma, " "Nickel Song," "Peace Will Come," and more. Her records continued to sell -- more than eighty million to date. Her songs have been covered by singers as diverse as Cher, Dolly Parton, and Macy Gray. She's raised a family, won an Emmy and a Grammy, opened a restaurant, written a musical about Wild Bill and Calamity Jane.
SPECIAL THANKS to the City of Kent for repaving the alley between the stage and parking lot. I'm sure you will appreciate the improvement.
DAN HICKS AND
THE HOT LICKS
Thursday, September 14
8:00 PM
Throughout his decades-long career, Dan Hicks stood as one of contemporary music's true eccentrics. While steeped in folk, his acoustic sound knew few musical boundaries, drawing on country, call-and-response vocals, jazz phrasing, and no small amount of humor to create a distinctive, albeit sporadic, body of work which earned him a devoted cult following.
Hicks was born December 9, 1941, to a military family then living in Arkansas, and grew up in California, where he was a drummer in a number of high-school bands. He attended college in San Francisco, where he switched to guitar and began playing folk music. He returned to the drums, however, when he joined the Charlatans, one of the Bay City's first psychedelic bands. Although the Charlatans were short-lived -- they issued only one single during their existence -- they proved influential throughout the San Francisco musical community and were one of the first acts to play the legendary Family Dog.
Hicks had formed the acoustic group Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks in 1968 as an opener for the Charlatans, but soon the new band became his primary project. After adding a pair of female backing vocalists -- "the Lickettes" -- the group issued its debut LP, Original Recordings, in 1969. After a pair of 1971 records, Where's the Money? and Striking It Rich, they issued 1973's Last Train to Hicksville, which proved to be the Hot Licks' most successful album yet. At the peak of the group's popularity, however, Hicks dissolved the band and did not resurface until 1978, releasing the solo LP It Happened One Bite, the soundtrack to an uncompleted feature by animator Ralph Bakshi. He then phased in and out of the music industry for more than a decade and did not issue another major recording until 1994's Shootin' Straight, a live recording cut with a new band, the Acoustic Warriors. In 2000, over two decades after the group's dissolution, Hicks re-formed the Hot Licks and issued
Beatin' the Heat. Alive and Lickin' arrived a year later. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
On November 9th, Surfdog Records will release 'Selected Shorts,' perhaps the best Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks album since his renowned 1970s work. Hicks, the influential and off-beat, bohemian presence who draws from diverse fields of music, wrote 10 of the 13 songs on the album, which features guest appearances by Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett, Beach Boys collaborator Van Dyke Parks, and Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes. 'Selected Shorts' showcases Hicks' unique, jazz-inspired phrasing, his inimitable voice, and a versatile, stellar band.

ANDY COHEN
Friday, September 15
8:00 PM
Andy Cohen has adapted the late Piedmont blues/gospel guitarist/singer, Reverend Gary Davis's musical technique to an eclectic range of music. While he paid tribute to Davis's repertoire with his 1997 album, The Sacred Songs Of Rev. Gary Davis, Cohen has incorporated old Southern music, country blues, ragtime, gospel, old timey and field hollers to his Davis-like acoustic guitar finger-picking. Establishing his career in his native Ohio, Cohen took an ethnomusicologist-like approach to the area's musical roots. He spent countless hours visiting and studying with master blues and folk musicians, learning songs that he subsequently performed at folk festivals and coffeehouses throughout the United States. Since relocating to Memphis, to marry multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Larakin Bryant, in September 1996, Cohen has become one of the Tennessee city's busiest musicians. In addition to performing, with his wife, as a duo, Cohen has served as president of the Beale Street
Blues Society and has directed the Kent State Folk Festival. With his wife, he launched an independent record label, Riverlark Mark, to release albums of mostly Southern traditional music. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide

KINGSTON TRIO
Saturday, September 16
TWO SHOWS
4:00 PM and 8:00 PM
On a purely commercial level, from 1957 until 1963, the Kingston Trio were the most vital and popular folk group in the world. Their record was incontestable, one of the most popular acts in the history of Capitol Records and the American record industry, making them the most popular folk group in history, surpassing the Weavers' earlier success. Equally important, the trio -- Dave Guard, Nick Reynolds, and Bob Shane -- made folk music immensely popular among many millions of listeners who previously had ignored it.
Pioneering pop/folk group whose influence is still being felt some 45 years after their first big hit, "Tom Dooley", in 1958. Formed at Stanford University two years earlier, the original Kingston Trio consisted of the late Dave Guard, Bob Shane and Nick Reynolds, with John Stewart taking over after Guard left the group to pursue other interests in 1961. Recording primarily for Capitol Records (1958-64) and American Decca (1964-67), their many hits during that period, all well-remembered, also included "The Tijuana Jail", M.T.A.", "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" and "Greenback Dollar". Initially breaking up in 1967, they re-formed in 1971 and have been touring, and recording occasionally, ever since, with Shane the only remaining member from the original group. Even today, they still put on a great show and have many appreciative fans of all ages.
In March 2004, Bob Shane suffered a heart attack which has prevented him from returning to the road fulltime. Enter Bill Zorn, fresh from leaving the Limeliters, to rejoin the Trio and step in for Bob. Then in August 2005, Bobby Haworth left the group once again, and Rick Dougherty, also of the Limeliters, took over the spot. The addition of Rick's beautiful voice has made the current lineup the most vocally complete group since the original days. The Kingston Trio today consists of Bill Zorn, George Grove and Rick Dougherty. They are continuing the Kingston Trio legacy with fantastic reviews, command performances and many standing ovations wherever they peform. As a fan put it, "our generation might not live forever, but I'll bet The Kingston Trio will!"
