June 25: Bess Rogers at Acoustic Long Island
Bess is a compelling performer with nothing but a guitar; she impressed people for years with her wonderful songs and her beautiful, silky voice.

[…]
June 25: Don’t Be Afraid
Sometimes a song just seems to be meant for a moment.

Douglass’ numerous accolades include […]
June 18: More. Trivia. Now!
Songwriting is serious business. So to keep things from getting too heavy, Dave injected a bit of useless trivia into the evening - much to the enjoyment of our “hungry-for-useless-trivia” audience. Somewhere in between baseball facts and key moments in US History, we heard a truly tasty set from Rob Kurtz with Tom Meyer, Ryan […]

May 28: Andy Shelton at Acoustic Long Island
Andy Shelton flew into New York just to play for Acoustic Long Island, and boy, his arms are tired (his joke, not ours, I swear).

May 21: David Celia at Acoustic Long Island
David Celia dashed on to the Acoustic Long Island stage just 10 minutes before his set, driving all the way from Toronto non-stop (except a side trip to pick up his guitar!). Whew! Definitely our closest call yet — but man, was it worth the wait. A world class musician who has played for audiences […]
May 21: Better than the American Idol Finals
Sure, it was the “Battle of the Davids” on Fox tonight, but Long Island’s true music lovers still came out to cheer on their local favorites — and prove that an intimate musical gathering in a turn-of-the-century mansion can be just as entertaining - or better - than the coronation of a new pop king.

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.
