Upcoming Concerts

Sat, May 25, 2013 - Steven Mullan MediumMedium


Inspired by artists such as The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, James Morrison, and Marc Broussard, his shows are powerful, yet intimate—you’ll tap your feet to his grooves and relax into the crafted melodies of his slow tunes.

Canton, OH: The Repository Newspaper- "For someone who sings opera and has considerable musical-theater experience, Mullan shifts well into the singer-songwriter performing mode. His piano-driven original songs are rhythmic, solidly tuneful and often rocking, and his vocals are emotional, energetic and earthy." (Dan Kane)

Oxford, OH: Anna Turner of The Miami Student (Miami University)- "Ohio-based musician Steven Mullan has been making his way around the U.S., his Jason-Mraz-meets-Michael-Buble-esque sound winning over audiences from Chicago to New York." (Anna Turner)

Erie, PA: Erie Times-News Newspaper

- "Mullan's well-written, piano-driven originals may remind you of "Tumbleweed Connection"-era Elton John or early Ben Folds Five. They're sturdy, rhythmic, soulful, and a little torchy." (Dave Richards)

Sat, Jul 20, 2013 - Fred Shafer Quiet

At 24, Fred Shafer is an old soul.  Born in Las Vegas, raised throughout the southwest and Texas, and ultimately transplanted into New York.  Shafers fatherless, nomadic childhood provides a template for his lyrically driven melodies and emotionally accessible songs.  And with a voice that harkens to the days of Joe Cocker, Al Green and Sam Cooke, Fred delivers these heartfelt songs with unbridled passion.

Beginning in 2001, Fred became lead singer and songwriter for the New York based band Klear.  Klear experienced success selling nearly 10,000 records, had music featured in movies and television (The Station Agent, The Shield, UFC), being featured in Vanity Fairs 2003 Music Edition and Hit Parader(Feb. 2005), being added to the play list of over 30 commercial and college radio stations(on two stations Klear reached #1 on the Play List), sharing the stage with such acts as Chuck Berry, Kid Rock, Goo Goo Dolls, Sugar Ray, Staind, Govt Mule, The Tea Party and many more, all independently.  After signing with Good Charamel Records in 2003, Klear released Makin Noise in 2004. 

After touring throughout 2004, Fred began recording his first solo EP, Truth or Dare with producer Brent Bodrug (Alanis Morrisette (Maverick/Warner), Jacksoul (BMG), Canadian Idol).  The results of this collaboration prompted Fred to leave Klear and devote all his energy to the project.  With renewed resolve, Fred emerges with a barrage of songs that leap from the speakers.  Brilliant songwriting anchors these driving rock songs while Freds soul spirited vocals take you on a musical journey back to the days where songs ruled the landscape.

Freds live performances have come to garner even more praise.  Ripping through song after song, he wields his voice like a beaconpulling, pushing and soaring in and out of every song.  With a commanding stage presence and years of road experience, Fred delivers something truly special every time.

Sat, Aug 31, 2013 - Free Wild Quiet


 Free Wild performs original high energy acoustic music. The group consists of Martin Koop and Steve Wilson as its core. They are frequently joined by other skilled vagabond acoustic musicians. Known for crowd pleasing original songs, Funcoast magazine called Koop "proof that folk music is alive and well." Koop cut his teeth on Sixth Street in Austin, Texas, playing on the street and in the folk clubs and he later honed his craft in the songwriting enclaves of Nashville, Tennessee writing tuneful, soulful, witty songs. Steve Wilson has been with Free Wild since it was born and provides harmonica, percussion, vocals, sanity, wisdom and backup batteries.

Sat, Oct 19, 2013 - Fred Gillen Jr Quiet

Sat, Nov 9, 2013 - Jack Schilb Quiet


A former member of the bluegrass band the “Diamonds in the Rough,” I’ve been playing music in different genres for many years. Beginning with a rock and roll band during high school days, and moving to acoustic folk rock and an emphasis on songwriting throughout the college years. After a middle age hiatus, the past fifteen years have been busy with several musical endeavers.Am currently playing in an acoustic duo with blues harmonica player Dan “Mudfoot” Hubbs, playing occasionally with a group of fellow songwriters from Bowling Green called the “Long Lost Brothers,” working on a jazz / swing trio with an upright bassist and a trumpet player, and of course playing solo gigs.I enjoy trying to cover those songs that are familiar, but not heard that often. The goal being to hear people say, “That’s a great song, I haven’t heard that forever.” Songwriting, however, will always be my first love. and to that end have been writing many things the past few years.

Sat, Nov 16, 2013 - Dan Frechette and Laurel Thomsen Quiet

In Spring 2012, music and modern technology transpired to bring together two artists with captivating musical synergy, despite their living 2,000 miles apart. As Manitoba-based singer-songwriter Dan Frechette and California-based violinist Laurel Thomsen were drawn together, there was no question of why, only how.



Ardent and down-to-earth performers, both Dan and Laurel enjoyed early success in music, as teens. By young adulthood, each had turned away from such temptations as music scholarships and major label publishing contracts, choosing instead paths as independents comfortably supported by their musical talents.



In the years to follow, Dan’s songwriting took off, with numerous compositions covered successfully by many artists. Among them, The Ploughboys (“Who Will Take My Place”), Dervish (“My Bride and I”), Emma Cloney (“My Canada,” “My Bride and I”), Jessee Havey (“Dance and Play”), The Duhks (“Who Will Take My Place,” “Mists of Down Below,” “You Don’t See It”), and The Buccaneers (“Everybody Loves You”). Dan is a prolific songwriter with over 1,300 songs across a wide variety of genres, inspiring steady praise from reviewers, fellow musicians, and appreciative fans, making comments such as “I never met a Dan Frechette song I didn’t like.” He has recorded over a dozen albums of his original material, showcasing the fine distinctions of his vocal and multi-instrumental abilities as well. When Dan discovered via YouTube how this violinist expressed emotion, he knew the next musical direction he hoped to explore.



Laurel’s path led her from Bach partitas and Beethoven sonatas to improvising, arranging, and recording for assorted bands and singer-songwriters. Whether dropping in to play a set with electric guitarist Tom Ayres and cowboy rocker Mike Beck, setting historic Alta California’s 1840s town hall ablaze with her fiery renditions of 1900-1950s classics, or stunning audiences with her recent songwriting debut, this diverse violinist hits the mark. From backstage meetings with Neil Young and promoter Britt Govea to being recognized on the front-page of the New York Times for her online teaching, Laurel’s star is on the rise. Still making time for serious violin and viola students in her private studio, Laurel is also the creator of the Violin Geek Podcast, and an author and educational video luminary for Strings magazine.



In March 2013, twenty-four hours after their first in-person meeting, Dan Frechette and Laurel Thomsen will play their inaugural live concert. At every tour stop, audiences will experience the thrill of this fresh musical partnership forged on the Internet. But while technology brought them together, it will not be tech assistance that delivers in these performances; it will be the authentic sounds of violin, guitar, and voices honed over two young lifetimes.
