DATE: FRIDAY, November 12th, 2004 at 9PM

On Friday, November 12th, 2004 at 9PM, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present a concert with folk guitarists and singer/songwriters LUCY KAPLANSKY and STEVE FORBERT.

A prolific studio singer, LUCY KAPLANSKY has performed with Shawn Colvin, Nanci Griffith, Suzanne Vega, John Gorka and as a part of the super-group folk trio CRY, CRY, CRY (with Richard Shindell and Dar Williams). She’s enjoyed success as a solo artist as well, receiving the AFIM award (Association For Independent Music) for Best Pop Album for her album Ten Year Night. Her new recording The Red Thread is a perfect blend of folk-pop. The performance is riveting: the imagery and emotion of her lyrics and melodies match the nuance, power and texture in her voice. She gets to the heart of a song, touching listeners and leaving them wanting more.

Those who simply remember STEVE FORBERT from his 1979 hit “Romeo’s Tune” will be pleasantly, caught off-guard by the rough-hewn style of music he’s making today. Forbert has evolved into an artist with more grit to his work, a quality that textures both his vocals and folk-style harmonica playing. And lyrically Forbert is also drilling deeper, as Just Like There’s Nothin’ to It (his newest release scheduled for May 11, 2004) is about as cliché-free as a songwriter can get.

Tickets for this performance are $37.50 ($28.50 for IMAC Members). For tickets or further information on this performance, or on other IMAC programs, call IMAC's 24-hour Arts-Line at (631) 549-ARTS.
