Dean Denniston
– Roots Blues-Inspired Originals

Dean charms audiences with his gentle presence and humor and delights them with his velvety, soulful voice. He plays acoustic country blues in the roots and traditional style. Many of his songs are originals written in the style of old blues standards. If you are lucky, Dean will pull out his National steel guitar and play some slide guitar for you.




Craig Sonnenfeld

Craig treats audiences to a delightfully understated helping of warm and gentle folk music. His rich and soothing voice rides on top of clean and bright finger-picking to carry the audience through beautiful original songs that could easily be mistaken for traditional folk songs. Craig sprinkles his performances with old rural blues by legends such as Mississippi John Hurt. You can hear songs from Craig's self-released CD, Reverie, on several radio stations, including the popular Folk on WGBH program.

Chip Quinn

Chip has been singing and playing for 44 years now; he started in the Eocene and was taught ragtime licks by smilpdons. He does originals, Piedmont and Delta blues, new and old ragtime numbers, new and old songs.  His CD with Claude Galinsky, Wonder Boys, was released on the Leavin’ Trunk label. Chip has performed at the Cantab Lounge in Cambridge, Capo’s, the South Shore Folk Music Club, The Acton Jazz Cafe, and many other local venues, several of which are still in business.

Critical reception for the Wonder Boys CD has been passionate:

Lean in close to catch all of Chip Quinn's lyrics... it will pay off every time.  This is a wise and thoughtful observer whose sense of humor, despite everything, is still intact. His songs bear repeated listening.  Favorites of mine are his "Litany", "Sky Blue", the iron-fist-in-a-velvet-glove indictment in "Jesus People" and the one about his old pair of boots... once you catch all the words you'll laugh out loud.  His sad, beautiful,
masterful rendition of the classic, "Delia", is a showcase for his whispery voice, a voice that will transport you to a sweeter world.  He is also an understated, sneaky-good guitar player... he has distilled magic from the country blues and Delta blues masters.  Quinn's multi-level messages, his dark, playful humor and his skill at delivering his deceptively deep material are as effective as Randy Newman's.  I couldn't pay anyone a
higher compliment.  ~ Geoff Bartley, ”The album is just fantastic.   One gets jaded by the flood, but this stands out as two guys really in love with the music that have the talent to present it.  Thanks...it will be a featured album for a long time.”

 --Tor Jonassen (Radio Host, WRDV, WLBS, Philadelphia, PA)
