the great JOHN BYRNE!
With influences ranging from Tom Waits to Planxty, John Byrne's songwriting honors and expands upon the musical and lyrical Americana and Celtic Folk music traditions of his native and adopted homes.
"He's good, period, with material that's edgy yet accessible in a Luka Bloom meets Bob Dylan kind of way." - Philadelphia Daily News
Byrne's songs are rich with the sounds and themes of Irish tradition, one that survives in a modern world...full of "raw strength"... an impressive work throughout... puts me in mind of an Irish Alejandro Escavedo" - Sing Out Magazine

Singer-songwriter Kate Gaffney honed her skills in Sacramento and hometown Philadelphia, jumped from coast to coast, and laid musical roots in Northern California. Pennsylvania has since called her back home. Kate has been a blur of creativity since coming home, with becoming a Philadelphia Folksong Society member, joining the fabulous Philly Blues Kings, performing at numerous venues, running an open-mic at Poppy's Tavern, and now launching Kate Gaffney's Corner every second Thursday at Jamey's to feature her own great body of work, welcome guest artists from Philly's vibrant music community, and host an open-mic on many nights.
“There’s something about Kate…something a little 80’s, a little 90’s, with a touch of the modern day, all steeped in the Summer of Love. You get a feeling, when you listen to Kate, that she understands the blues, but serves as a muse to keep the blues away. She’s a songwriter who songwriters write songs about. Watching her perform is somehow comforting and her honest vulnerability lends a welcome tone to her concerts. She has found a nice rapport with her audience and is one of the few performers with whom I welcome the banter. Kate is both disarming and razor sharp at the same time.” - Aaron Redner, musician/writer
Gaffney’s festival nods include Philadelphia Folk Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and Hangtown Music Festival. She has opened for a variety of touring acts including Richie Havens, Todd Snider, Xavier Rudd, Chris Smither, Carolyn Wonderland, Jackie Greene, Karl Denson, Kaki King, Elephant Revival, and Dead Winter Carpenters. Kate Gaffney has released four albums: Highways, The New Then, The Coachman, Here by the Ocean.
