ABOUT THIS SHOW
FOLKING-AWESOME shows that the American heartland- as based in NYC- will never be the same again. Come hear about all the classic honky-tonk topics–heart-break, lost love, missing the girl’s phone number on the train, and love for a feral cat–via the best in queer/trans NYC alt-folk/country scene. Three great bands to break your heart and wow you off your queer feet!
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Channeling a combination of Patti Smith and Lucinda Williams, DK and the Joy Machine is a Brooklyn-based, singer-songwriter and mountain dulcimer virtuoso who brings this humble trad instrument into the big city. A mountain dulcimer champion, DK and her “Joy Machine” hit the alt-folk scene running after an 18 year hiatus in 2012, performing since then at Rockwood Music Hall, Arlene’s Grocery, Dixon Place HOT! Fest, and other well known NYC venues while touring regularly in Europe and the US. Her new album SHY ONE has been lauded by Curve Magazine, Alt-Country Forum, and other blogs as, “rootsy Americana that directly touches the heart” with songs that are “quirky and smart with sultry vocals and intricate dulcimer playing.”
Lindsey Wilson is a singer-songwriter and a lead actor in the web series MEG RAMSEY. She has performed at some of New York’s most popular venues and has worked with a number of local and notable artists. In 2014, she collaborated with drummer Reggie Sylvester, guitarist Ted Simmons, and bassist Michael Trotman to create her electric band The Reckoning. Her band blends politically conscious music with a folk-rock sound.
