Phineas and the Lonely Leaves
Based out of Peekskill, Phineas and the Lonely Leaves have a driving rock
force coupled with Americana-indie-folk-swing. Currently gigging in N.Y.C. and throughout Westchester, Phineas and the Lonely Leaves is a band you do not want to miss. This is their debut performance at WDFH!
Tim Feeney – lead vocals, guitar
Mike Spinelli – electric guitar, vocals
Tim Cavanagh – bass
Paul Slater – keyboards, vocals
Larry Ohlmann – drums
Giant Cicada
Giant Cicada began as an extension of the partnership of the upright bass/vocal duo Jon Burr and Lynn Stein, playing the essence of song and minimalist arrangements. With the addition of violin, guitar, cajon drum, and bowed upright bass, the duo ventured farther down the paths of pop, dance, world, and jazz and
developed a vibrant new sound. Some of these fine people have already performed at WDFH as the Jon Burr Trio and the Lynn Stein Trio.
Jon Burr – upright bass
Jonathan Russell – violin
John Hart – guitar
Carlos “Go-Go” Gomez – percussion
Nick Russo – guitars
Lynn Stein – vocals
Hope Machine
Born at a 2003 Woody Guthrie hootenanny, Hope Machine is named after a Woody quote: “About all a human being is, anyway, is a hoping machine.” Their music is ever-evolving but always carries a message of hope, peace, and freedom. Hope Machine is an “official Program” of the Woody Guthrie
Foundation, and returns to WDFH after a performance earlier this year.
