DESCRIPTION:This May, the NYC Antifolk scene (home of such performers as Beck, The 
 Moldy Peaches and Regina Spektor) is sending four of its favorite 
 embassadors to San Fransisco for a one-night-only show. On this, their 
 second national tour, singer-songwriters Casey Holford, Jenn Lindsay, Robin 
 Aigner and Phoebe Kreutz will be traveling down the west coast, delivering 
 their unique brand of witty, irreverent accoustic folk.   Jenn Lindsay 
 plays folk music for the jobless, the brave, and the indignant  on the NYC 
 Antifolk Scene. Her music is ³a veritable tsunami of the best  writing 
 I¹ve heard in a long spell.² (University of Michigan at Grand  Rapids) 
 She delivers ³a powerful call-to-arms for struggling urban artists  
 everywhere² (Suite 101) with songs that are "Deliciously  
 Earnest"(Entertainment Today). In addition to appearing regularly at  
 schools, women¹s centers and in folk fests, Jenn has played LadyFest, BMI  
 Showcases at the Living Room, political rallies at Rockefeller Center, and  
 at the Central Park Naumberg Bandshell. Her music is ³a welcome blast of  
 taste and sincerity.² (NYC Makemusic) http://www.jennlindsay.com/     
 Casey Holford taught himself to play on mom¹s classical guitar with a 
 string  missing. At age fourteen, he took his homemade songs to Boston 
 coffeehouses  and taught himself to perform. Then he got a twelve-string 
 guitar and  learned that too. Now in New York, ten years later, Casey¹s a 
 completely  self-made performer and songwriter "for those who have tired of 
 the  mainstream."(NY Rock) The result is electric and acoustic guitar 
 playing  that thrills, lyrics that sting, and songs the Village Voice calls 
  ³heartfelt, edgy, and innovative.² Heard live, Casey¹s songs make noisy 
  rooms quieter. Sometimes they make neighbors pound on the ceiling with a  
 broomstick. But whatever they do, they ³kick and push genres into fresh 
 and  nameless territory.²(Performing Songwriter) At only 25, already with 
 two  albums and a decade of live experience, Casey has made his music 
 career from  scratch ingredients and a weird recipe all his own.  More at 
 http://www.caseyholford.com     Robin Aigner writes music that is equal 
 parts alt-folk, roots and  urban-Americana. Featuring a warm, sensual 
 voice, sweetly finger-picked  guitar playing and rich imagery, Robin¹s 
 tunes lull her loyal New York  audiences. "This is music that glows with 
 feeling." (Northampton Gazette).  Robin plays regularly in and around the 
 New York area at such clubs as  Sidewalk Café, The Bitter End, and the 
 Living Room, in addition to  nationally renowned venues such as San 
 Francisco¹s Hotel Utah and  Northampton¹s Fire & Water. 2003 sees the 
 release of her debut LP,  Volksinger, which is ³a rich tribute to the lone 
 cowboys, troubadours, and  roving criminals of American history. Her work 
 is hugely gratifying and  relentlessly interesting." (NYC Antifolk) 
 http://www.robinaigner.com/     If Joan Baez and Weird Al Yankovic had a 
 love child, it might be Phoebe  Kreutz, a New York City boozy floozy with a 
 heart of gold and a banged-up  guitar. Phoebe¹s songs are a little bit 
 silly, a little bit sappy and always  in high spirits. Keeping firm to her 
 promise to never write about her  feelings, she¹s had to go deep into the 
 realms of goofiness and pop-culture  trivia for inspiration. She¹s come 
 out the other side with a canon of music  that is ³the most consistently 
 funny, surprising, refreshing songwriting I  have heard in a long time² 
 (Stanford University). In NYC she plays regularly  at such venues as the 
 Sidewalk Café and The Rising Café. Phoebe Kreutz has  been featured at 
 Club Helsinki in MA, Aurafice and BitStar in Seattle and  was invited to 
 perform at the 2003 and 2004 Antifolk Festivals. 2003 brought her first  
 album, ³Pretty. Pretty Stupid.² (No Evil Star Records) to her growing New 
  York audiences. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2004/04/20/35933.php
