Streaming Tuesdays
Time: Tuesdays 7 PM to 8PM Eastern Time
Our Show: The pandemic forced us to learn how to stream shows directly from the performer's studio. It has proven to be such fun that we are going to keep doing it each Tuesday night.
Attendance is free. 100% of donations go to the Artists.
Jan Seides (sigh-deez) has been a singer/songwriter as long as she can remember. She’s been playing piano since she was 3 years old, guitar since she was a teenager, and she can’t ever recall not singing. Jan writes and performs original, lyrics-driven, award-winning songs that combine uptown sophistication with down-home truth. They have been presented with style and spirit in prestigious venues in the U.S., the Middle East and Europe.
Todd Burge, a native of Wood County, West Virginia, has been a major figure in the state’s music scene since the ’80s, leading bands like 63 Eyes and Triple Shot. Since the 2000s, he’s focused on folk-pop storytelling, using wry humor, skillful guitar, and a wide vocal range. Burge’s songs capture life’s stories, from the deeply personal to vividly imagined. He’s performed at venues from CBGB’s to the Kennedy Center and has been featured on NPR’s Mountain Stage and PBS’s Songs at the Center, making his mark as a unique voice in American folk music.
Son Stone (Ben Diamond) is a songwriter and new-age beat poet. Two-time finalist in American Songwriter Magazine’s national songwriting contest, a published and award-winning poet and humorist, Ben’s songs have the wit of John Prine and the grit of Tom Waits. Ben has written over 200 songs in multiple genres including folk, rock, blues, pop, Hawaiian slack key, and instrumental fingerstyle. He’s often backed by the incredible Son Stone Project, a group of crazy-talented, Nassau County-based performers who should each be independently famous. More info at https://son-stone.com/
George Potts is a well-established musician in Northwestern Connecticut, with a career spanning several decades.

Over the past 20+ years, George has been a key member of The Joint Chiefs and performed as a bassist for Wanda Houston. More recently, he has collaborated with Gordon Titcomb and the trio R.A.M. His solo album, Ends and Odds, reached #17 on the FAI Folk Music charts.
Award winning songwriter, entertainer, speaker, poet, and teacher. TOM KIMMEL IS ALL OF THESE THINGS AND MORE…Tom Kimmel‘s songs have been covered by a host of Grammy-winning artists, including Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Levon Helm, Randy Travis, Linda Ronstadt, Nanci Griffith, Dianne Reeves, The Trio (Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris), Shawn Colvin, Art Garfunkel and the Oak Ridge Boys. Fans and critics agree, however, that Tom remains his best interpreter. A soulful, funny, and inspiring performer, Tom‘s as vibrant and creative as ever in his sixth decade of music making.
