The cool nights are changing up the offerings at Uncorked, Livingston’s newest music venue. Crisp rose’ and whites will soon lead to robust reds at the wine bar. If you haven’t been to Uncorked to sample the charcuterie platters and imported wine flights, please do!
For the remainder of September, Uncorked will present music on most Thursdays and Fridays. Please join them for music, wine flights and specials all week.
Kicking things off on Thurday, September 15th is Shelly Besler & Tony Polecastro.
Shelly is a Livingston based singer/songwriter who counts Patty Griffith, Wilco, and Katie Herzig among her influences. She performs regularly with her band Someday, Miss Pray. Tony Polecastro is a musical wonder on the dobro and joins Shelly on vocals as well. https://www.youtube.com/user/ShellBes. Adding the only testosterone to the end of the month is Livingston’s own Ian Thomas on Friday, September 16th. After traveling for years as a street performer, Ian Thomas began performing ‘indoors’ in New York City, where he recorded his debut album “A Young Man’s Blues” and his follow-up “Live at Rockwood Music Hall.” Since then, he has shared the stage with Taj Mahal, John Hammond, Cyril Neville, Corey Harris, Sam Bush, The Wood Brothers, The Avett Brothers, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Reverend Goat and Dr. John and has performed at festivals, including Bonnaroo, Pickathon and Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion. Performing both solo and with a band, Thomas draws on a variety of American roots influences, delivering a captivating raw live performance and distinctive sound from his original compositions on guitar, harmonica and kazoo. His latest release is the full-band album “Live at the Preservation Pub,” recorded in Knoxville. www.IanThomasMusic.com

The next weekend starts on Thursday, September 22nd with Amber Ikeman. As much a storyteller as a songstress, Amber speaks to the wandering spirit in all of us. Born in Canada, raised in Florida and based in Bozeman, she recently released her debut album, “Free,” a collection of experiences from her 20,000 mile journey across the US. Her music includes flavors of new folk, americana, pop, blues with raw lyrics and touches of unpredictable edginess. Hear more at www.amberikeman.com.
On Thursday, September 29th, Uncorked welcomes Ashly Holland. Ashly is a talented songwriter and performer. She leads her band Little Jane and the Pistol Whips and recently returned from an extended tour in California. Check out her website – www.littlejaneandthepistolwhips.com. Rounding out the month on Friday, September 30th is Quenby Landorio. Quenby will be playing songs both from her latest release, “Pretty Little Thing”, recorded with friends and collaborators in Austin, TX and from her debut album, “Long Time Comin’” in `09. Her style borrows from influences like Wanda Jackson, the Mavericks, Dwight Yoakam and Patsy Cline and spans genres from old rock n’ roll to roadhouse country, from the gentle stylings of classic country to the hard-driving stomp of outlaw country, plus add a little Tex Mex and a little Cajun for a true American roots experience. http://www.quenbywowband.com,
