BUTCH HANCOCK
Flatlander great BUTCH HANCOCK has been called "one of the finest songwriters of our time" and is acknowledged by his peers as one of the premier Texas singer-songwriters. His lyrics are ingenious, excelling in metaphor and irony and displaying a world-weary trait, just as he is a master of seeing the miracle in the ordinary. In 1972, he formed The Flatlanders together with Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Joe Ely. They are back together and have been more popular than ever. Jimmy, Joe, Emmy Lou Harris and the Texas Tornados have all covered Butch Hancock songs.

Saturday, March 6, 2010 8:00 concert (7:30 doors)
$20
Steve Gillette is best known as a songwriter, with songs recorded by artists from Ian & Sylvia to Garth Brooks, from Jiminy Cricket to John Denver. His song Darcy Farrow alone has been recorded by more than one hundred artists since 1966, most recently by Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Nanci Griffith. Quite literally, he wrote the book on songwriting: Songwriting and the Creative Process (Sing Out Press) is a standard text in songwriting classes across the country. Steve sings in a rich baritone and is a virtuoso on guitar, using a unique fingerpicking style with a flat-pick and two fingers. His most recent solo recording is Texas and Tennessee (Redwing Music), named one of the Top Ten Folk Albums of 1998 by Tower Records' Pulse Magazine.

KENNY WHITE CD Release Party! comfort in the static
Saturday, March 20, 2010 8:00 concert (7:30 doors)
$23 Kenny White is a singer songwriter from New York City. Originally known mostly as a writer of music for radio and TV commercials and a producer and session keyboard player, in 2002 he released his first album and began touring. White frequently tours with Cheryl Wheeler, performing as her opening act, and then accompanying Cheryl during her set. This is how we (Schaef-Abel) first heard Kenny in 2004. We immediately booked him and subsequently four other times. We are thrilled to be hosting Kenny in a CD Release Party for his soon-to-be-released "Comfort in the Static," on Judy Collin's music label, Wildflower Records. Kenny stuns us with his soaring, cinematic melodies and symphonic arrangements, his acidic and mirthful confessions of regret, self-loathing and love, and his colorful, jazzy, oh-so-New York narratives enlivened by vivid characters and enriched with canny, sexy dialogue and a tender worldliness. And, that's not even to mention his piano playing which is absolutely stunning! |

AUDREY AULD
Saturday, April 17, 2010 8:00 concert (7:30 doors)
$23 AUDREY AULD is a favorite of Schaef-Abel Productions. We have hosted Audrey Auld many times in many different circumstances and hope to continue to do so. Her music has been such a refreshing blast from Down Under. Her lyrics give voice to the gamut of emotions we feel and experience, conveyed in a beautiful, yet believable voice. Her singing sometimes sounds as though she's from Austin instead of Australia, with a country-type flair, and at times as sweet and tender as a voice can be. Audrey's performances are always entertaining and fresh. She has a wonderful sense of humor and can read an audience and captivate and involve them. We were blown away by Audrey the first time we heard her and it's only gotten better in the ensuing years. We look forward to hosting her again and again.
Audrey is a memorable and uplifting entertainer. She's a spontaneous comedienne and a writer of humorous, provocative and soulful songs. Audrey will surely perform songs from her new EP, "Billabong Song," a CD of Australian songs, featuring country, folk, roots songs and Australian stories. "A singer-songwriter with smarts and a distinct vision who's capable of heartfelt sorrow or off-kilter humor" ~ Austin Chronicle |

SCOTT GERBER & CORI WOOD
Saturday, May 8, 2010 8:00 concert (7:30 doors)
$20 Scott Gerber and Cori Wood met at Studio E four years ago during a Schaef-Abel Productions' concert. Scott sang two songs, Cori fell in love with his voice, and they've been singing together ever since. Both of these native Sonoma County singer-songwriters were raised in musical homes, and while the music they each started out with differs tremendously (Yiddish folk songs and union tunes for Scott, Methodist hymns and Broadway musical tunes for Cori), what they share is a love of singing, and the appreciation of a "good song." Over the years, each has expanded on that original repertoire and developed quite an eclectic mix. Scott has been greatly influenced by over 30 years of agricultural work, primarily cowboying. Cori took a more academic track and studied music at Chico and Sonoma State Universities. Individually, their voices shine; together they create something special, and often downright fun. Whether it's a traditional ballad, a classic country duet, or a western-swing tune they've arranged to suit their style, you can be sure that Scott and Cori will bring a piece of themselves to each song they perform. |

Saturday, May 22, 2010 8:00 concert (7:30 doors)
$25
We "had to" get Chris Webster and Nina Gerber back after their sold out performance in January of this year. Not only did we turn many away, but everyone at the show wanted more . . . before the night was over we started working on a return date! Chris and Nina are incredibly talented and they bring out the best in each other when they perform together. |
