Paul Curreri
Haunting lyricism...soulful, dynamic guitar... Curreri is internationally acclaimed for his eloquent, beatnik-blues poet lyrics and his fingerstyle playing. His fifth, and latest album,The Velvet Rut, was released in the U.S. last November. Besides writing all of the songs, Paul Curreri performed every instrument & every vocal on The Velvet Rut, "a record at once unruly, poetic and seductively bad-ass..." (Bella Todd, Time Out London). He’s pulling inspiration from America, twentieth century folk and bluegrass weaving in and out. It’s been characterized as “country-folk” but has everything from Lou Reed to Mojo Nixon, all combined into some funky blues that would make even Tom Waits’ mouth water.(Jessica Star Rockers, on seattle.net) Curreri wrings bent and worried tones and hacks ringing, open-ended chords to punctuate points, or question arguments, or second emotions. It's a more lively conversation -- among himself, his guitar, his characters, his listeners -- than you get in a roomful of people.

Danny Schmidt
Danny SchmidtTickets $15, includes food, by reservation only dazzling, poetical...bitingly relevant....eminently hummable Austin may claim Danny Schmidt for its own, but his career as a performing & recording artist began in Charlottesville, with his first CD, Live from the Prism Coffeehouse, released in 1999. Schmidt returned to Charlottesville to record his fifth & latest album, Little Grey Sheep, produced by C'ville's Paul Curreri. Other Charlottesville musicians appearing on Little Grey Sheep are Randall Pharr on bass, Matty Metcalfe on accordion, Jeff Romano on harmonica, Sara Read on fiddle, Spencer Lathrop on drums and vocalist Joia Wood. The songs included in Little Grey Sheep were written over a span of seven years. Says Schmidt: "Each has a very personal meaning for me, and each came from a very particular episode in my life ...whereas the songs I was putting on other records were more narrative and generalized and abstract." Danny Schmidt will perform solo at the Hamner, his heartfelt realism guaranteeing an intense live performance, well-suited to this intimate venue. “It's honest, bare bones storytelling at it's best” (Tori Mazur, Music Beyond Radio). "I've not felt a performance with this much intensity since I saw Neil Young solo years ago,... I was completely floored." (Henri Simmons, The Filter) Danny Schmidt (or on myspace) C-ville News review of Little Grey Sheep and of a performance by Danny Schmidt, by Brendan Fitzgerald.
