JOSHUA RADIN
 
Friday, October 10 @ 8:00 PM
Radin began his artistic pursuits at an early age with art, acting and music. Radin graduated from Northwestern University. When his close friend, actor/filmmaker Zach Braff, heard a demo of Radin's song "Winter," he was immediately interested and featured the song on his show Scrubs in the episode "My Screw Up". The song received an overwhelmingly positive response and gave Radin substantial exposure with the show's demographic. The songs "Today," "Closer," "Don't Look Away," and "These Photographs" were also used on the show. Braff also played the triangle in Radin's song "Today."
Since then, Radin's songs have been featured on Scrubs, Brothers and Sisters,Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, One Tree Hill and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. His song "Star Mile" was on The Last Kiss movie soundtrack, as well as "What If You", which was featured on soundtrack of the movie Catch and Release.
Joshua has also appeared on many national TV programs including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, CBS Early Show, and Carson Daly and has toured with Tori Amos, Sheryl Crow, Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, KT Tunstall, Imogen Heap, Butch Walker, and Meiko.
Having captured the public's attention, Radin set about keeping it with the release of his debut album We Were Here in 2006.
Radin's second full length album Simple Times was released through iTunes on September 9, 2008, with it set to be released in stores on September 30. The first single off of Simple Times is "I'd Rather Be With You", which has been uploaded to his MySpace page.
Joshua recently performed at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's wedding.


 
 
TOM PAXTON 
Saturday, October 11 @ 8:00 PM
Tom Paxton has become a voice of his generation, addressing issues of injustice and inhumanity, laying bare the absurdities of modern culture and celebrating the tenderest bonds of family, friends, and community.
In describing Tom Paxton's influence on his fellow musicians, Pete Seeger has said: "Tom's songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they're becoming part of America."
Tom Paxton continues writing songs, performing, and inspiring musicians and fans of all ages.

THE TELL-TALE PLAY

A Two-act Collection of Poems and Stories by Edgar Allan Poe, designed for high school students and older. The play features three popular area actors - Tom Stephan, Sara Showman and Alex J. Nine. They interpret Poe's works, telling the audience along the way about the writer's short but eventful life and career.
Perhaps best known for its acclaimed three-person version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, the Largely Literary Theater Company specializes in faithful adaptations of great literary works. Its dual mission is to promote interest in literature and live theater.
Three of Poe's classic short stories are presented in The Tell-Tale Play: "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Masque of the Red Death." Also included are three of his major poems: "The Raven," "Annabel Lee" and "The Bells." Other poems in the play are "Alone," "Eldorado," "Dreamland" and "Spirits of the Dead."
The Largely Literary Theater Company was founded by Dawidziak and Showman in late 2001. In addition to A Christmas Carol) and The Tell-Tale Play, the company offers shows based on the works of such authors as Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stevenson.

Movies on Main Street 
CAT ON A 
HOT TIN ROOF 
Sunday, October 19 -@ 3:00 PM
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) is an Oscar-nominated MGM film directed by Richard Brooks based on the Tony-nominated play of the same name by Tennessee Williams. One of the top-ten box office hits of 1958, the film was adapted from the original play by Richard Brooks and James Poe, and stars Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, and Burl Ives.
Elizabeth Taylor has never been sexier than as Tennessee Williams's hot-blooded Maggie "The Cat" Pollitt, prowling around her boudoir in a slinky white slip. That's how you know her alcoholic, ex-football-player husband, Brick (Paul Newman), must have more than just his leg in a cast. It's the 65th birthday of wealthy (but dying) southern patriarch Big Daddy (Burl Ives), and his sons Gooper (Jack Carter) and Brick have come to suck up to him for $10 million in inheritance money. Gooper is a family man and father to a brood of "no-neck monsters"; youngest boy Brick is papa's favorite (as if you couldn't tell from the fellow's names), but hasn't sired progeny. Maggie is definitely in heat, but Brick refuses to sleep with her because he suspects her her of being unfaithful with his best friend, who recent committed suicide. Although toned down for the movies, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is vintage Tennessee Williams. The film was directed by Richard Brooks (In
 Cold Blood, Blackboard Jungle, Elmer Gantry).

KELLER 
WILLIAMS 
Thursday, October 23 @ 8:00 PM
Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Keller Williams is literally a one-man jam band. His fascinating live shows feature him solo on-stage with a Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro looping unit, and he creates his backing loops in the moment, building and improvising as he goes on his custom-made ten-string guitar, and thanks to his equally as quirky, upbeat, and semi-surreal songs (which he frequently weaves into extended, half-improvised medleys) and his warm, friendly tenor singing voice, Williams is an utterly unique performer whose musical eccentricities don't keep him from being immediately accessible. A native of Virginia, Williams received his first guitar at the age of three, although he admits he didn't really learn to play it until he was in his early teens. He attended high school in his hometown of Fredericksburg, and began playing solo gigs when he was 17. He discovered the new age guitar genius of Michael Hedges a year or so later, and Hedges has
 been a lifelong influence on Williams' approach to the guitar. Following a stint at college (he attended Virginia Wesleyan College in Virginia Beach from 1988 to 1991, majoring in theater) and frequent gigs in his hometown region, he self-released a debut album, Freek, in 1994. Williams relocated to Colorado the following year, and it was there where he met the members of the progressive bluegrass band String Cheese Incident at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Williams ended up touring with the group as an opening act in 1997 and again in 1998, even filling in for a time as their bass player. A second solo album, Buzz, was released in 1996. Williams eventually signed to String Cheese Incident's label, SCI Fidelity, and released Spun in 1998. Incredibly prolific, Williams has released nearly an album a year ever since on SCI, all with one word titles. Breathe appeared in 1999, Loop in 2001, Laugh in 2002, Dance and Home in 2003, Stage in 2004, and the
 DVD =Sight in 2005. Grass (credited to Keller & the Keels) appeared in 2006 and Dream in 2007. In December of 2007 he released his 12th CD, a compilation appropriately titled 12. Endlessly creative, innovative, and fun, Williams is a fascinating artist, and his somewhat wacky take on the world, coupled with his amazing and eccentric guitar talents, makes him a refreshing performer.

THE SPEEDBUMPS
CD Release Party 
Friday, October 24 @ 8:00 PM
The Speedbumps showcase a mix of songs ranging from slow and acoustic, to plugged-in and experimental. All members are from the Akron/Kent area in Ohio brought together through various musical interests and avenues. The evolution of the band members and their musical style have been influenced by a variety of singer/songwriters and groups including Damien Rice, Radiohead, Iron and Wine, and Nick Drake in addition to a wide collection of orchestral pieces. The Speedbumps give an impressive show, whether slowing it down for an up close and personal feel or for simply rocking out.
New York City, Boston, Washington DC, as well as other cities along the East Coast and Midwest are not strangers to The Speedbumps' sound. The debut album released in the summer of 2005, "Back to Burlington," includes Erik Urycki, guitar and vocals, and Sam Kristoff, cello, among other sit-ins with different instruments. Stephanie Huffman, cello, was introduced to the band shortly thereafter. Meeting the band about a year later, Patrick "Hawk" Hawkins, on the skins, and Evan Lewis, bass, add a solid rhythm. The music presents an enchanting dynamic that can persuade any mood. Urycki's calming voice paired with haunting cellos and an energetic beat will catch the attention of any audience.
