Camryn Quinlan
Feb. 9th– 3pm
17 y/o singer/songwriter Camryn Quinlan, from Sayville, writes songs that belie her youth. She writes personal songs that are at once modern and classic and that cut deep into a well of honesty. Documenting a journey of heartbreak, healing, and happiness she is adept at drawing from her own experiences as well as observing people and situations she encounters. Her lifelong love of music drew her to guitar and piano at the age of 6 and now writes and performs with ease on both. While Camryn is a 100% writer she has recently begun collaborating as it allows her to step outside herself and learn new things about the writing process. She is inspired by a wide range of artists including Taylor Swift, Kasey Musgraves and Chappell Roan who she admires for resilience in the face of adversity. She is preparing her debut EP with releases to begin this fall. Camryn appeared on our stage recently during our 20th Anniversary celebration, singing with the Kerry Kearny band. We had to have her back!
Robert Bruey
Feb. 16th– 3pm
Known for his unique fingerstyle guitar playing and earthy soulful voice, Robert Bruey paints with words, imbuing his songs with imagery that enables listeners to visualize his stories as he sings them. Robert’s live performances are moving and intimate and his recently released ‘Carousel’ CD has received much positive acclaim.
Annie Mark
Feb. 23rd– 3pm
Annie Mark, a New York based singer-songwriter, has shared her country-tinged Americana-roots music with audiences from Florida to Ireland, and most recently, Nashville. A New York native, she moved to the South at age 10, where upon hearing the music of the Carter Family and Johnny Cash, she nurtured a life-long love of traditional country music and songs that convey slice-of-life stories about people’s lives with a heartfelt simplicity.
Inspired by such singer-songwriters as Patti Griffin, Julie Miller, Nanci Griffith, Mary Gauthier, Leonard Cohen, and Bob Dylan, Annie’s songs explore lifes’ journey and the universal themes of love and loss, struggles and triumphs, shadows and light, with a little humor thrown in. Accompanied by strong and tender acoustic guitar-playing, Annie’s richly textured voice runs the entire emotional spectrum– sometimes velvety smooth, at other times raspy and raw with a little torch and twang thrown in.
