Frank Hamilton, co-founder of the Old Town School of Folk Music and Bill Rappaport, former 2nd chair clarinetist for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra put together a night of swing/jazz tunes from the Great American Songbook. Classic tunes from the likes of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, and Jerome Kern take on a jazzy style with Frank playing acoustic guitar and Bill playing clarinet. Frank's incredible talent spans more than 50 years, from the rise of American Folk Music, playing with the Weavers in the 60's, to today. Pete Seeger called him "one of the most creative musicians in the country," Listen to Frank Hamilton sing here.

Singer and songwriter Pat Terry brings his Americana sound to Hungry Ear. He grew up in the groundbreaking days of American rock 'n roll influenced by the music of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Horton. But it was when the Beatles invaded America that Terry started songwriting and performing, eventually releasing seven albums with his own Pat Terry Group, and touring the country playing a unique blend of inspirational country, pop, and blues. He performed and recorded as a soloist in the early eighties, then in 1986 began songwriting in Nashville. His songs have been recorded by a variety of well-known country and gospel artists, including Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Gaither Vocal Band, and Alan Jackson. Terry came full circle in 2012 when he released "Laugh For A Million Years", a new CD showcasing a matured writing style and a continuing creative curiosity that has been his hallmark.
