Taking full advantage of this minimal and flexible set-up, Leo Tardin took up the challenge of developing hybrid stylistic directions in their most essential renditions by joining forces with first-class NYC artists such as drum masters Jojo Mayer, Deantoni Parks and spoken word poets Mike Ladd, Celena Glenn, Detroit-based activist/rapper Invincible and French folk/hip-hop artist Spleen.

Powerhouse singer songwriter Mary McBride, most recently featured on the soundtrack of Brokeback Mountain, and her ace band will perform songs from her recently released Tricky Tricky World, produced by Paul Carbonara (Blondie). The Washington Post writes, "In some sort of magical kingdom, every dive bar, roadhouse or juke joint you walked into would have free peanuts, dollar drafts and Mary McBride performing with her band onstage." The Village Voice adds, "McBride has become something of a surprise local treasure - easily one of the more credible new competitors in the sweepstakes to hold some of the roots music territory staked about by fellow Louisiana native Lucinda Williams. Catch this before it gets too big for the room." Ryness (‘Woof’ in Broadway's Hair) at 9:30 PM, $15
