One of our featured performers tonight is Joe Kaplow, a diverse, impressive folk troubadour. Joe performs indie/folk/blues and is on tour from Santa Cruz, CA. His live show is very high-energy and captivating; he alternates between acoustic guitar and banjo, finger picking, slide and strumming (adding a lovely diversity!) and he plays a stomp box, addiing a whole other layer of percussion, intensity, and dance-ability to the show. He has been compared to Shakey Graves, Charlie Parr and Possessed by Paul James. Independent Clauses said, "It’s a rare artist who can make memorable tunes in diverse idioms, and that bodes well for Joe Kaplow. I can’t wait to see how his next releases develop. Highly recommended." Joe has a self titled EP in CD, cassette and vinyl that he sells at his shows. Joe's set begins at 8pm.
9:20pm: Jesse Daniel Edwards is an award-winning independent songwriter currently residing in the small beachside town of Carlsbad, CA.

A recent review described him as, “evoking the best of World Party and Tears for Fears” (SD Reader 2014). His music has been featured in radio, TV, and independent films and is available on iTunes, Pandora, and Spotify. Who the hell is World Party?
