"FIRST FRIDAYS" 2009 SCHEDULE:

Friday, May 1, 2009
8:00 pm (doors open at 7:30 pm)
CHUCK BRODSKY and TOM PACHECO
at First Presbyterian Church, 704 Whitney Avenue, New Haven
TICKETS ON SALE NOW

This double show is like hot fudge AND whipped cream — sunshine AND a cool breeze — wonderful alone, but better together.

Chuck Brodsky is an incredible storyteller who has been praised repeatedly by reviewers for his "wicked sense of humor" (The Philadelphia Inquirer) and "the soft wry voice of John Prine and the detailed balladry of Bob Dylan" (Boston Globe). Have a listen at his web site and understand why The Village Voice has characterized him as an artist whose "social commitment and heart go hand in hand with humor, wit and longing."

Tom Pacheco stunned listeners who had never before heard him when he last appeared in New Haven as part of the 2008 CT Folk Festival & Green Expo Song Circle. His CD sales far eclipsed those of any other performer and he was in the company of many wonderful artists. Dozens of performers, including Richie Havens, The Band, Jefferson Starship, Rick Danko and Scott Petito have covered his songs, many of which became number one hits abroad. This past year Pacheco's fan base came to include Michelle and Barack Obama, for whom he wrote a ballad about the President's campaign called "The Man from Illinois". Sample it on YouTube or have a listen to Tom on www.TomPacheco.com.

Our performance space is handicapped accessible.
