Buskin & Batteau, Carsie Blanton & Eugene Ruffolo
Tuesday, May 11th @ 7pm
tickets $12

Buskin & Batteau started as a duo in the 70s, dividing their time between being music performers and writers of such famous commercial jingles as "Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet and "We're NBC, just watch us now." After a 20 year hiatus (during which David was part of the comic musical trio Modern Man), they have reunited and once again are performing their witty, sometime silly, sometimes moving, but always well-crafted songs.

Carsie Blanton is a rising star on the Philadelphia Folk Scene. Peter Mulvey says she is "sharp as a tack, possessed of a light touch, funny, and winningly direct." Carsie’s songs tend to be personal and lyrically rich. She strays from the folk tradition to bring out the soulfulness, passion, and pop sensibility in her work.

Eugene Ruffolo started singing with other musicians as diverse as Garth Brooks, Tony Bennett, Livingston Taylor, Rum DMC, and David Wilcox. He then moved on to writing and recording his own personal and introspective songs. based in new York, he is a first prize winner of the Telluride Troubadour and Merle Fest songwriter competitions.
