4. Exter Vs Kimock (XVSK)

Date: Sunday, January 15th, 2012
Time: 7pm-9pm
Website: http://extervskimock.com/
Price: FREE

Trevor Exter and John Kimock have a unique chemistry, wringing the depth of drums and cello. Sounding at once modern and tribal, they take no prisoners with a driving groove and passionate lyrics. Kimock embraces an expanded sonic palette and a decidedly post-rock aesthetic. The classically trained Exter, for his part, has made waves as a rock cellist for the better part of a decade. Trevors voice has been compared to both Bill Withers and Sting, and it gets knocked around by John's crackling groove: equal parts Buddy Rich and Phil Selway.

5. The Notorious String Busters

Date: Friday, January 20th, 2012

Time: 7pm til 9pm
Genre: Ithacana
Price: FREE

Tenzin Chopak (guitar), Richie Stearns (banjo), and Harry Aceto (upright bass), with Judy Hyman (fiddle). They call their music Ithacana - the Ithaca strain of Americana. Local wildcrafted originals, harvested by moonlight from the banks of Cascadilla Creek and complemented with a hearty traditional stew of crooked roots which are pleasantly pungent and subtly seasoned with salty tears of joy. Goes well with a sweet.

7. The DjanGoners

Date: Friday, January 27th, 2012
Time: 5:30pm-8:30pm
Website: http://www.watershed-arts.com/djug.html
