Contemporary Folk Music featuring Barry Oreck & Markley & Balmer

Barry Oreck is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter known for evocative storytelling, rhythmic and stylistic variety, and songs that move and motivate. His stellar band, Rima Fand (violin, marimba, vocals), Jesse Miller (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Adam Armstrong (bass) weave interlocking instrumental arrangements and tight three-part harmonies. Lisa Markley and Bruce Balmer are an indefinable duo who blend jazz, folk, pop, be-bop, art song, and the odd polka into a mix that raises the bar for songwriters and instrumentalists alike. “Gilberto Gil and Joni Mitchell fall in love on a road trip across America and look for breakfast in New Jersey”.
