May 7: Michael Johnathon at Acoustic LI
Banjo and all, we got a taste of Kentucky at the mansion, thanks to Michael Johnathon. Though he spent his early years on Long Island, Michael settled into Kentucky where he traveled up and down the hollers of the Appalachian mountains knocking on doors and learning the music of the mountain people. He experienced hundreds of front porch hootenannies throughout Appalachia where folks would pull out their banjos and fiddles, sit on their front porches with him and play the old songs that their grandparents taught them. And so, it was there that he created and to this day hosts the Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour, with a worldwide radio audience approaching a million listeners each week. Billboard Magazine headlined him as an “UnSung Hero.” He has been featured on CNN, TNN, CMT, AP, Headline News, NPR, Bravo and the BBC. For more, go to www.michaeljohnathon.com.

FREE ADMISSION: Energetic, Evocative and Funky Solo Acoustic Guitar. Original Compositions as well as arrangements of well known songs by Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Bill Withers and Dr. Lonnie Smith. Adam was born and raised in Harlem. He was mugged in front of his building when he was 10. He played in a hard rock band at 12, got ripped off by a club owner on his first gig at 15, and by 18 he was a rapper on a gold record in overseas. That's callled "paying dues" - and you hear it in his songs, in his feeling for the blues, in his groove, in his touch. The history and life experience puts the fire in this man's music. He puts the "sizzle" in the "steak" musically speaking. For more go to
